[SOURCES][DEVONLY][SM-G850F] LineageOS 14.1 - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

Hello,
I've started to bring the ROM forward to LineageOS X.x for the G850F. If anybody knows how to port a ROM or knows C/C++ and want to work together, feel free to contact me! Reading and understanding strace output is essential.
SOURCES
I will post my progress in this thread.

Im using CM13 kernel source with SELinux permissive , CM13 vendors.
It has little bit dirty commit status & sources because i try many things to fix errors.

I've started too, the main repo is now here:
https://git.cryptomilk.org/projects/android/android_device_samsung_sltexx.git/
The kernel already has all the fixes and compiles.
I would be great if you could start again based on my android_device_samsung_sltexx.git branch and we work together to get things done. There is #cyanogenmod-exynos5 on irc.freenode.net for developers.

A lot of stuff will not work, because the features have not been ported to cm-14.1 yet. For example the Samsung camera code is not in framworks_av, color support is missing etc.
So the first steps are just to get it compiling.
Next:
Update ril.h (this is a manual task which needs to be done carefully)
Update sepolicy

Yes, I've looked into your changes already but a lot of some are not really correct.
SLTE doesn't need a modemloader, this is only required for treltexx and gts2 devices. We also do not have to set the hwrevison for cbd.
I like your ril.h changes, they are small and easy to review! Great work!
I review and cherry-pick them tomorrow. I don't have time today.
Thanks for your help!

That will be great!

Okay I revert commits what we doesnt need.
I've just tried to test about seclabels and domain_deprecated just now, but I think it doesn't need now.
I don't know why it work soon without that patches, maybe there is something about the work at Cyanogen Team.
Now I'm in clean build, I'll let you know that we need patches surely when the build is done.
+ Please check my hardware_5430 repo and vendor repo.
Mobicore works without any error (according to logs).

I will try to look into RIL tonight.
The Samsung Camera support in frameworks/av is missing.
Can you give more details on the GPS hexedit ...
