Once galactic stryder started to collected crowd funding to buy a new le max 2 and then also ordered it and then it now arrived because of some issues. Anybody can tell me what happened to the money of yours you donated? And why he is not developing? Just curious to know that!
Heyyo, he posted a while back that he has had stuff going on in life so it was delayed a few months for software development.
Tbh even once he starts it could be a few months before he has a properly working x2 build as he uses his own kernels with some stuff based on Darkobas (Oreo) and I haven't seen anything happening there either... So really who knows when we shall see some AOSPA x2 stuff.
Such is the way with crowdfunding anyways. We funded a device for him and it will take time for things to get done. I know I donated a bunch too but hey I am barely making progress on Oreo but I try with my limited software development skills and time.
He wrote to me that let max 2 "will be supported on our AOSPA 8 from April"
Let's wait for the guy solve his issues. Nobody forced us to donate. I am sure that he didn't run away with the LeMax2 :laugh: Any user should understand that developers are also people with jobs, family, etc. Heck, even to reply to xda Q&A takes time (thanks @ThE_MarD), so it's often to see that there's no answer from the dev to "why torch is not working" question or stuff like that.
Honestly speaking, even without him, the development of X2 is at a very good level by my standards.
I think we should also donate to infrag and all the others who worked really hard to fix the builds for this device.
Thanks to all for info
Let me undersrand it correctly. You bought new phone for some guy in hope he will develop rom, but no news from him, he ran away with new phone. Well there's a sucker born every minute.

Forgive me, but it's a sad statement.
Actually, a passionate and skilled guy who did a good job with a very similar phone, offered to work on improving support for this device. I can't event think he needed another underpriced (because of lack of official support from manufacturer, bankrupt) smartphone

He is very active kernel dev for Le pro 3, so it wasnt like, hey lets give new phone to random guy.
Hi, sorry for the delay, the phone has reached my door only yesterday, 5 months waiting - or even more - it's good that I have time now to develop and the phone, I just didn't get to XDA those last months so I get the hesitation of all the users when I was off and without the phone; time's passed and as you can see on my Github we have started moving again, wrote all my Kernel script to support the new device on both versions - one Kernel fits all, right? (my LG G2 users should remember that one) - as I'm planning to support stock M versions and the upcoming, if ever coming, N versions of EUI.
The stock Kernel code is a mess just like the one from Pro3 - what did I expect? - so I may time until Saturday to get the vanilla CAF one up and running stable. After that I'll set up my Ryzen machine with another distro, probably BBQ, to compile a more recent version of N or O.
I have just updated to the latest Chinese ROM (X821) to compare the Kernel messages and take some information to merge with my previous work, I'll open a DEVB thread as soon as I get something stable running for EUI users.
Hope that clears out any misunderstandings...

After spending a huge amount of time trying to get a working android to boot on the athena I am thinking that maybe if enough people are interested in donating we can get some devs interested in helping us.
Initially I would like to get android 2.0 to work, my thinking is to firstly get people to commit to donate to getting android to boot.
The other option is to get enough together to buy a 2nd hand athena to donate to a dev to work on.
Please post here if you wish to donate to the project and how much you are willing to pledge.
Devs: PM me for details of the relevant git etc if you are interested in this.
Donation list:
Avengerpenguin £20
UniversalCitizen £20
Definitely!
Hey I just made another donation - as drewid - and I am excited that you are talking about this and working on it. Thank you!
I saw your twitter post a little while back and was wondering if you had finally got a working build tested after losing your adapter? I am so psyched for Android but I know it will be a while still.
I am going back to the drawing board this evening to test more WM ROMS since my current one and the last 4 before it have not seemed stable. I feel like I am nearing the end of my patience for Windows Mobile at this point, but I like the device. I have to get it stable and with enough features to keep on using it.
If you don't mind me asking, do you still like WM? If you had to recommend a best ROM to use on my 7501 which one would YOU recommend? I just want reasonable speed and good web browsing, stability. I can add SPB Mobile shell again for pizazz since I bought it a while back but it doesn't always seem stable on recent ROMS.
Thank you again for working so hard on this and all your ROMS work! I wish I knew development so I could help out more.

Ive got a new adaptor and feel that I am getting close to compiling a working 2.6.31 kernel for the athena, but am trying to learn linux at the same time, making my progress slow.
Yes I still like windows mobile, its just that with lennie now cooking as well I decided to spend my time trying to get android to work after running on my blackstone. My thinking for me as my athena is a second device that with android I could almost have the equivilent of a dell/archos android tablet without any outlay.
To be honest I havent flashed any new roms to my athena for a while and am still using my last release.
Hopefully there will be plenty of time to help once we get to a working build and there will be a lot of testing etc to do
Just donated to the cause
Hello Avengerpenguin,
Just made a donation from an email address beginning with 'wide' and ending with '.com' would of made it sooner but was waiting for payday.
Lets hope we can get a working version sometime soon or I might have to go crazy and get the HTC Desire when it arrives. (if it's not got the same issues as it's Nexus sibling that is)

Many thanks for the donation, I have had confirmation of the donation and will keep it in the kitty for the android dev, I like you really hope for a working android either by my doing or from someone else, unfortunately work has dictated that my android work in on the back burner for probably another week or so, but will get back to it as soon as I can
I will probably get a htc desire in april when released on orange to use for work, looks like a great device.
I am willing to test!
If you need a tester, I would like to do so.
I have an X7510 which I only use for music, and that even only in imergency if my MP3 playe is out of power!

I have a G3, but with jasmine and cyanogenmod for the G3 and L out on nexus devices - i might need to pick up a new white chip.
Anyone else neglect their responsibilities and waste time at work flashing new roms?

I'm a long time sufferer, through many Android devices... If its not my current G3(Rooted on its first power-up, have had Jasmine, CM11, currently has Liquid, and just downloaded Vanir to try) Coming from a HTC One(M7) that got flashed more than Joe Francis, there always seems to be something new, even with a phone that's only had TWRP for a month or so......

I'm a recovered flashoholic. My addiction started with the Samsung Omnia but ended with the Samsung GS3. Today I have been fine with Xposed since the launch of LG G3. I guess I was able to end it due to all the devs out there that created apps that were missing from older phone builds, Big Thanks to them all. But since the big companies took notes and ideas from Forums across the net, newer phones have most of what I need in a smartphone. But as soon as Beans release a Lollipop build, I'll be back at it 1 more time. ?

I don't have a problem, everyone else does! It's just a phone, how could it control my life?
Will it get as much developer support like one plus one ?
I'm sure the OnePlus X will gets it share of Custom ROM in due time. The device hasn't really been in peoples hands that long and developers still need time to get to know the in's & Out's of the device. I give it a couple of weeks or a month before we see anything
you may have noticed the phone was only just released, like a week ago, that's the answer to your question
give it a few weeks, allow people to start developing for the phone, or alternatively make a rom yourself

Because no kernel source has been released? Don't worry. It's being worked on. Anyway, you've posted this in the wrong section.
I think, based on the replies above, you should have your answer now.

Ethan the official developer of TWRP has already compiled the kernel. He's waiting to receive his View 10 next week.
Expect official TWRP support soon!

That's a great news... I am eager to buy this device as I am looking for new phone for replacement of my old Redmi note 3.... One question, did we get stock rom images to flash via fast boot cause if I want flash stock rom at any point of time? A small request if that's possible..

I understand that... But look at one plus devices for example...They release source code on first day itself... In just 3-4 days , there will be rooting guides , twrp etc will happen ... after 10 days there will be custom roms and mods etc... Just example, not exact fact... But here everyone is taking precautions due to last failure of "open source" thing.. that's why I am too taking slow steps to buy... This time it will be different! I hope so that!
Cause I am learning c and c++ and soon i also wanna start some development as hobby and this device is best in terms of everything , but I have to sell other two old devices which I was hoping for development experiment cause 30k rs ( in india ) is costly for me as student. I was gonna buy mi a1 which is in my budget but then xiaomi done "great job" by releasing nougat kernel source code after 4 months and when device on Oreo!! Let's see how development will kick start here...
You said it yourself. It's a hobby. Just wait and you will see that a lot of stuff will come. Be patience

Yup... Very true... Excited ..
First thing takes time.
Once we get that first kernel/ROM, then we can see bunch of the stuff comes every day.
Twrp is the major one for now.
A bit of history
I don't know if you guys have noticed, but there are a lot of ROMs not being updated anymore because the devs are migrating to newer phones or whatever. In this thread I want to show you guys that installing new custom ROMs and looking for updates don't worth your time.
This phone has been released on October 1st, 2014 and now it's 2019 which means that we're using a five years old phone (which is not bad). Samsung gave up on it in 2015 when they launched (the last) lollipop update. But then a lot of developers started working to make our beloved GP an useful phone with the latest cool stuff that newer android versions give to us. It was wonderful when every Tuesday there was a building going on in a Jenkin's server and afterwards we could download the ROM just to have the latest version of Cyanogenmod (good old days that never come back). For me, the last stable custom ROMs were the Nougat and Marshmallow versions. Afterwards some of the devs have changed their phones and stopped creating new stuff for GP (I'm not blaming anyone for that) because the phone was getting too problematic to work with.
Even so, some of the devs were still persisting on making new builds and fixing the bugs but those new ROMs weren't ever going to get out of the beta stage. Even if you see new custom ROMs builds today they are not gonna be finished as their kernel need to be worked on fixing bugs and improvements. That's why they all have the same bugs because they use the same base which has these bugs.
The real last update
The last modification in the kernel has been made on Oct 17th, 2018.
Last commit
This means that all of these new custom ROMs in 2019 are not getting their bugs fixed. Please do not ask the devs for updates and improvements because they've already forsaken this phone long time ago.
We have to be grateful that they have spent a lot of their time and money (I don't know which is most valuable) programming, looking for bugs and losing sleep nights just to bring us (users) pieces of software FOR FREE.
For all developers my biggest Thank you !
My grand prime's retirement
At this time I am using the oldest stock ROM ever, the KitKat. It's very stable specially when you root it and remove all the bloatware stuff.
Its interface is not that bad, I personally think it's cuter that lollipop's. Of course you will miss google's smart lock and a lot of apps that are not supported anymore, such as Swiftkey, Gboard and newer stunning browsers.
I think that we users should let our grand prime to rest in peace and to follow our own lives. It has been a great adventure to brick this phone a lot of times and being one or two days without social media because of a software brick.
What do you think of all of this?
Have a great day.
It was a great run with the gp
I'm no longer using this device 4 months ago
I'm now using a Lenovo Z5 Pro GT
It's a 6 year old phone, I think it's perfectly reasonable for someone to want to stop developing for it.
I have 4 cellphone, but Grand prime is still my fave
Hey @cizordj!
I'm glad you made this thread. I know that most people have moved on to their new devices but some people like me and many others are still stuck with their GP and it is hard to use this. I know I will waste your time but let's do a guide on how to use this phone in 2019 and so on mainly because of the reason they don't have money to get a newer device. My Telegram ID is @ITexpert120 and if you find this post interesting, please contact me.
Let's give this community the last gift before we leave. (Just a side note I'm still using GP).
Bye.

It's an interesting idea, sorry for the late response.
Alright, I think someone would still be able to use grand prime today if he installs ViperOS which is in my opinion the stablest ROM ever. It's even faster than stock's and lighter, another thing is the camera that is a lot better. On this tutorial about using grand prime in 2019 I think we should approach these methods:
- Installing the newest possible android version.
- Installing the Google Apps.
- Rooting the phone.
- Giving tips about light apps that can be used on this phone.
I remember not being able to use Instagram due to a lack of RAM, what I did was to uninstall Swiftkey[board] and use AOSP keyboard. Another detail that the user must care about is background processes, in developer options I had to deactive all of them to get the phone to respond fast, without background processes I didn't get notifications, but my phone used to work rapidly.
If the user is hardcore, he could try using this phone without Google Apps, they are heavy nowadays specially the play services, if he could stand without that he would save 200Mb of RAM approximately.
Well I think this is it.

Well, yeah
You are right, I am too using the Grand Prime without GApps and it works just fine.
Also my builds are getting stable so now I am able to use it without any problems
And most of all PUBG LITE works
