hope some devellopers will use it, if it is what it seems.
Is it right that the kernel sources were leaked recently by someone? they seemed to have disappered, did Mediatek/Xiaomi send a DMCA request? is anyone working with these sources?
Does anyone have any links to source code of people working on AOSP ROMs for the Redmi note 2?
The only sources I know of are on Github. Just search for mt6795 and look for BalcanGSM.
I read a news article from an Italian site. It said an incomplete kernel and baseband were leaked. They said " It's completely useless for ROM developers as it's utterly missing any userspace components. The kernel sources also look very incomplete Compared to normal MediaTek source releases."
So not much use I'm afraid.
Hope that of some use
While the bootloader of many g5 devices is not allowed to be unlocked (no official way) LG releases the source code for the kernel of those devices.
Is that even useful?
How can we even compile and use a custom kernel while we are allowed to flash one?
Sent from my sh!tty LG-H860 that is beyond crap
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.
I few months/weeks back i read a new article on xda about xiaomi stating that they will now start releasing source codes faster.
Anyone else also read that?
Haven't xiaomi released the codes for KENZO yet ?
It should increase custom ROMs performance drastically, right?
Thankyou!

Dude Source code released already. Source code is not like a raw material or fuel which is fed everyday to increase in performace of device.
Xiaomi dont care if source code is open to public. They would rather prefer to keep it closed source so that their userbase stick to the miui and not move to custom roms.
Only reason they give source code coz its based on qualcomm chip which is open source friendly. The reason u will see custom roms for xiaomi snapdragon devices.
Mediatek chip is based on closed source thats why no development or custom roms based on mediatek devices.
Xiaomi dont plan to give nougat or oreo to kenzo so why they will release new source code for new android version.
They only said it for new devices which are treble compliant. It will be easy for them to write the code based on treble standards. Hence they will push it faster. Not for kenzo.
So tc and Sweet dreams.
