Hello Folks,
I am one of the organisers of a developer conference happening from the 24th-27th Feb in Barcelona as part of MWC. As part of the conference we have two CyanogenMod folks running a workshop showing you how to setup the tools and source code for CyanogenMod to build a new ROM. I believe this has never been done before so a great opportunity to learn how to join the CyanogenMod community.
If you are in the Barcelona area and want to come along I have a limited number of free passes to give away. If you ping me a private message telling me why you want to come along I'll let you know if there is a pass for you.
Wednesday 26th February
A Day in the Life of a CyanogenMod Developer
Room 6, Level 3, Hall M5
10:30 to 12:30 (10:30amto 12:30pm)
Speakers: Abhisek Devkota, Shane Francis; Community Manager, Device Maintainer, CyanogenMod
This exclusive workshop is an interactive CyanogenMod session for developers. Learn about the features and framework of CyanogenMod as well as understanding how the end to end development process works. This is not just an overview but you get hands on with the CyanogenMod code to make changes and build a new custom ROM so that you can become part of the CyanogenMod community.
The workshop will cover:
Bringing up your device for CyanogenMod
An overview of the features and framework of CyanogenMod
Coding a changeset feature for CyanogenMod
Uploading your code change to a gerrit instance
Compiling your code changes to generate a CyanogenMod ROM
Unfortunately as a new poster I can't post a link but if you go to wip dot org and follow the link to our WIPJam you can find out more.
Thanks, Rod.
Hello friends, I am writing so that together we will achieve something that will benefit us all.
MoKee OpenSource is based on the Google AOSP. We update our source code frequently to keep up with the latest development, and not forgetting to merge in special features of our own at the same time.
A small group of people from around the world who are interested in Android launched this project on the 12th of December 2012, and is committed to make this ROM better and better. Like most contributors of open source projects (Omni, CyanogenMod, Slim AOSPA etc), we are doing all these in our free time as our passion…
Since this project is open source, anyone interested can participate in the development (maintain new devices, contribute code etc). Newcomers are always welcomed!

This ROM is very good, delivers great performance gains on our devices, I personally used in my previous smartphone (Galaxy S2 i9100) and if not for spoiling that I still continue to use thanks to Mokee.
So now, this group has developed a community Mokee google plus (which I can not give the link, and that despite much I visit this forum for years, recently dared to enroll today, and rules are rules) You can find this easily by typing in google "open source community Mokee google plus".
In the section "Device request" please discuss who want open source Mokee for Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 and maybe if we are many, we consider and develop this excellent ROM for the device.
I and several others already did, but the more the merrier.
Cheers
I think that to create an open source rom, you should have access to the full mtk sources and model drivers, which is not the case.

but a lots of device very rigorous with his privacy code have mokee (like Sony), maybe with something port from other device or other method, but i'm not expert, thanks for comment
Obviously the more the better.
If they are fully working!
I remember using the Mokee ROM on my galaxy s2 skyrocket. Brilliant ROM i hope we can get one for the Redmi Note 2.
Before to start flashing
This is an UNOFFICIAL version of CM12.1, so this means that have bugs that i hope to fix soon. So use it carefully at your own risk. The most important thing to say, after flash this ROM,is ....
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Installation Guideline
Install the lastest version of TWRP (it's in uploading state and have an important update in fstab file)
Power down your phone and go in recovery mode.
Copy the ROM file in your sdcard
Make a wipe data/factory reset
Install the zip you copied
Wipe cache
Reboot
What works
First Boot
Audio
RIL
SDCARD
Tethering
LEDS
Touchpad now works
Bluetooth (partial: pairing not works)
Some else i'm testing
Light and proximity sensors, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Magnetic sensors
What not works

Thanks for the rom, but where is the download? All I see is the download page for TWRP
Still uploading. I will advice you when finishs. Anyway its a testing ROM...not for daily use.
Does this has any problem with battery draining more than the stock rom? because this problem existed in my old ? z1 and i can't find anything related to the camera, so am asking if is it working? and any chance of porting z4 camera framework so we can use superior auto in this rom? Thanks in advance
I think is a bit premature make these kind of discussions now. When i'll make this rome stable (now it's a test build, have some reboot problems probaby lrelated to thermanager config) we can face more problems. But don't worry, any problem/idea will be faced at right time.
Awesome! Thank for your work!
Thanks for excellent work! Hope some major bugs could be fixed asap [emoji481]

put more SS please...
WiFi not working???About Sound too??
And This is Android M or Android LP???
CyanogenMod 12 is based on android 5.x so that means this rom is lollipop
I'm waiting for the upload because the rom boot loops for a thermanager problem. Anyway i have fixed also sensors. I'm not able at this moment to offer more infos because rom boot loops. When i fix the thermanager config and rom will be stable i could be more detailed. I'm sure that RIL and 3g connection works. Wifi powers on but not reveal available Wi-Fi but i think is a configuration problem too.
Let me work guys, we are so close
Great news. Thanks God for You.Good Luck and we will wait for results

If you can force enable adb and upload the rom I'm sure that we can send you logcats to find the problems. Also, could you upload the new TWRP that is mentioned in the OP?
@tonystark88
Hi, under GPL v2 license you are required to link a copy of the kernel you used, otherwise, would be in violation of the license. Thank you.
I have taken a look at your source, would it be possible if u rebuild it with Sony's Unified Kernel? Thanks!

I'm not violating anything, i'm not reselling or forcing someone else. I don't understand all this pressure, you have all the informations you want now, you saw my sources. The kernel is the same published from sonyxperiadev. I have to fork it to my page to be in rule with GPLv2? I don't think, i think is useless.
If you want that i publish my sources (already unstable) on the first page, i don't see the problem, i will do it.
Also, i see this discussion only a waste of time that i subtract to my work.

It's not out of nothing, cos ur sources must be able to build. You changed one of the defconfigs to cyanogenmod_blablabla so you have to fork and make the changes on ur end as well. Hope u understand

It's the temp .config file generated when u build the kernel. I renamed it and used because differently from the asp defconfig is formatted well.

I see no problem here especially since Sony hasn't exactly released the kernel code. There is no reason to be so distrustful. Heck he hasn't even released the rom yet so what are you complaining about. Please don't take offense. He is just trying to further this community

Supports developers, do not lock their work
I don't understand this mentality of 'Let the dev work and do his thing' and saying that he should be given space to himself to work and build CM12 for The M4 Aqua. As it stands, you all don't know what Open Source Means. The M4 Aqua is in a state where much dev work is needed and all you guys do is hamper the speed at which developers can build ROMs for you. Without Kernel Source code and all LOCAL modifications uploaded, other devs can't jump in and help out to build for the M4 Aqua. I work mainly in the Xperia SP Forums and when the Xperia SP got released, it barely had any source code given by SONY but now we're at CM13. CM13!!!! From a 2012 device to 2015 we have gotten CM13 while YOUR M4 Aqua is stuck at even building CM12! All the Xperia SP had going for it is the AMAZING DEV support with SO MUCH OPEN SOURCE CODE that we all learnt to share. We keep the credits individual to commits and we all gave credits which were due in every rom we built.
If I can't build the ROM with what you say uses the original sony kernel source code, then this ROM is violating GPL code. I will be back soon to test the results and see if it does indeed build and churns out the exact bugs reported. If you are unable to handle even a small request that Boylush has said and say that you're already stressed out due to ONE MEASLY request then there seems to be something wrong.
Those of you who have absolutely no developer experience I would advise you to refrain from trying to defend your individual parties and let this be easily settled by simple building on my end.
I don't like these kinds of reasoning about me and about my work only because in two months other people aren't been able to boot nothing, also a recovery. This is the last time i will respond to you because this is a DEV topic, and here will be DEV things.

I repeat this thing again, all my sources are public. Just see the first page of this topic. And also, all sources are open on sonyxperiadev and are a intellectual property of Sony. All the LOCAL modifications are on my github page, in the commit area. Just click and see.

And i'm happy for the Sony XPERIA SP, this means people work together. In the case of Sony M4 Aqua i just saw topics that bumps out after i started to develop, also if only the recovery, for this device. No one sent me a message for say, "Tony let's work together".

I'm not stressed, i feel great thanks And again no one ROM violates the GPL license. Simply because there isn't yet on the site and will not be until will complete boot correctly. And about the request, i responded yet. I have to repeat that i used the same kernel published by sonyxperiadev site WITHOUT MODIFICATIONS ?

Probably in the ROMS world this sentence is true. But i'm a graduated ICT Engeneer and i worked in past in Android. Maybe i know a little bit of devel things, and i say "a little bit" because i know i can do it, and i not let you and others to offend me without know who i am.
CONCLUSION
Without me, the unexperienced, this device today has a working recovery and i hope for ALL THIS COMMUNITY a working CM12.1 . And i repeat again this thing: THE SOURCES ARE PUBLIC ON MY GITHUB AND ON THE SONYXPERIADEV GITHUB. I'm not blocking the work of anyone and i will be happy if someone else will make the rom work better and efficiently than mine. I will learn where i failed from the other devs commits, like i always did.
I hope is more clear my point of view now to avoid future noisy discussions.
Hi all,
Now that CM is dead (RIP) and official Lineage OS for the Wileyfox Swift 2 has not yet happened, i've been looking into other alternative OS's that are compatible with the Wileyfox Swift 2 [marmite].
However i'm not seeing any that are compatible for this device (Resurrection Remix, Dirty Unicorn, LineageOS (yet) and wondered if anyone has had any experience with any other custom OS's that they know are compatible?
Thanks
There are none because there is no source code for this device. You must be patient and wait until Wileyfox releases (Before the end of this month?!) the promised Android 7.1 update, and hope they also release the source code with it.
I did several modifications to stock CyanogenOS 13.1 version for myself, but I found not worth it sharing that, since we're going to receive the new update really really soon. If the update is a disaster, or they do a OnePlus (release the update on the 31st, late in the night before the end of the month, and full of bugs), I'll consider sharing it. But until then, just wait for it.
Thanks for the update. :good::good:

Thats not true there is maybe not a source code but the chips inside the device (and drivers) are also used in other devices wich are so you can make roms for this device.
There are no roms because this phone isn't used by many peaple yet or the community isnt big at the moment for this device but we can port roms from the xiaomi redmi 3s for instance

WTF? Do you think that by having same CPU means we should have the very same source code? I know there's source code for the SD430 in codeaurora, and that Xiaomi released sources for land, but that doesn't mean anything. It'd require a lot of dirty and unnecessary stuff to get it working here (it's not only about the CPU, right?), and since Wileyfox is REQUIRED to release the source code (all OEMs are) we can avoid it by just waiting patiently. From there, building Lineage will be easier, but hey, if anyone wants to do the hard job, use land-m source code and try to port it, is free to do so! :laugh:

Manufacturers need to release kernel source as it's under a GPL license, but Android itself is under the Apache License 2.0 and manufacturers are not required to release any source code. In fact the vast majority of manufacturers do not release any of their internal Android code.
And having kernel source does not magically allow you to make custom ROMs. In fact you shouldn't even need the manufacturers kernel source unless they are using some obscure hardware.

I know, but it's better having and working with it, isn't it? I know we will need to bring up a device tree, and that it's not that easy, but starting out of a good base is better than mixing sources from other phones, at least that's my opinion.
The kernel sources are already available for a long time (slowpokes?): https://bitbucket.org/wileyfox/kernel-wileyfox-msm8937

Oops. You made my day man. I swear I wasn't able to find that, I had no idea they published it already, they didn't mention it on social media, and whenever I asked them on the support chat they were like "Sorry, we don't have that".

Because I do not think that the public (where most users are not geeks, probably) will be interested in the post that the developers have released the source code of the kernel. Or someone beforehand, before closing Cyanogen Inc, released the source code for the kernel. And support is usually not answered to such questions, because they do not have such information.
But in any case you need the information you need to find in all available ways.
As we all know, official Android upgrades for the Nokia 6.1 Plus have ended with the Android 10 update and we will only be getting security patches going forth. However, some of us have the drive and desire to try out newer releases of Android, but we can't exactly shell out more money for a new device that will receive those updates.
Some of you might be aware that to make Android 11 (and beyond) ROMs a reality, any device needs a Device Tree and a Vendor Tree, and currently, there are no full trees for our device.
That's where I come in - again some of you might already be aware, but I have been working on full device and vendor trees for this device, with proper commit histories (flashbacks) so as to maintain order in the community. The trees are WIP, but the progress can be followed in the links below.
Device Tree
Vendor Tree
My current roadmap is as follows (I will update this list as and when I finish those things)
1. Finish the Device Tree by adding "configs," "rootdir," "ramdisk," and "symlinks"
2. Work on the Vendor Tree and pull missing blobs from the device
3. Build and test LineageOS with my trees - 31st build tested, device boots, sensors RIP
4. Maybe build other ROMs till android 11 arrives
Hoping to extend the life of this device,
Sid

Bumping the thread since I'm halfway done.
Also noticed another dev is close to releasing "source built vendor."
Dear dev, I challenge you to make your trees public.

Hello OP, I have moved this thread from Development to General as there is no ROM available yet. Please report this thread or contact me again if you have a ROM and kernel source links available, I can move this into Development section then.
Thanks.
Regarding the recent sparks of controversy and mods being involved and a certain someone posting this on their public channel -
Forgot to say few kids started doing criticism again better my answer do by your own or learn from scratch
Click to expand...

I have only one response to the
message - I HAVE done it by myself and I HAVE learned from scratch, and my trees (which can be viewed by anyone) are evidence of the same. My GitHub history can be followed to see exactly HOW I learned too - my modifying Motorola (Chef) trees.
Also, one question for everyone - considering we had vendorless builds for our device since Android Pie, am I the only one who finds it suspicious that said dev built vendor sources only around the same time I did? I just would like to take a look at said Dev's work and verify.
Cheers,
Sid
Bumping thread since I finally made progress
After 31 excruciating builds, I'm abandoning my trees. My vendor repo got taken down in a DMCA notice for a proprietary library, and I just don't have the motivation to continue on my Device Tree after being seemingly stuck on a device which boots but nothing works. My tree is still gonna be up on my GitHub for anyone to refer to. As for ROMs, the Official LOS trees work great and that's what I'll be using for builds. Though I didn't finish what I started, I learned a lot and am thankful for the journey.
Cheers,
Sid
Edit: vendor repo is up again and I have removed the disputed lib
I wish you had maintained it as you've already done most of the work. What is the end node of device trees which marks its completion?

I will try and maintain it, but they've been abandoned for the time being... with Android R on the horizon, it didn't make much sense to spend countless hours trying to fix Android 10 trees. Device trees can be called complete when ROMs built using them are stable enough for daily use with every function working as intended.
