I tried to use it to generate the complete rom

I can say it is incomplete ==> Cannot generate ROM even following the instruction enclosed.

Any news on this?
Id imagine if the source is released, and somebody compiles a rom.

Won't it work for all MTK6589 devices?

    http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...es/open-source-archive-for-build-16-0-a-0-36/

    They are for Xperia C, the MTK6589 based phone!
    I tested them, they are complete!
    Archive is heavily compressed, when i uncompressed it, it was 2.2gb big!
    Let the development start!!!!!!!!

    hi,
    just came across this thread.
    would the source revealed be of any use for rom development for the Asus memo pad HD 7 (173x)?
    it has a mtk6589 chipset.

    thanks

    I already made 2 beta kernels for our Memo pad hd7, you can check the latest updates on my ROM thread (check my SIG), was already tested by 5 members, it boots and the small additions I made are working.
    The next step is to fix some small bugs, and as soon as I get my memo pad again (I smashed the LCD) I can finnaly test again the next build I made, and will release the kernel to public .

    Best 6589 sources are indeed the Sony's and Lenovo's ...

    thanks~this really help me a lot!!!

    if anyone has a working build, please share instructions on how to do that.
    Would be great if custom roms and CyanogenMod will be available for this great platform!

    Hi everyone,

    since the source for the MTK6589 has been released can anyone make a custom CM10.1 rom for the Star S5? It has the same hardware as many smartphones from china (namely MIZ Z2, "x920" phones - there are many vendors, others that right now don't come into my mind).

    Thank you very much. :)

    why not start yourself?
    It's not that hard.
    The dual sim part maybe challenging.
    You just need Ubuntu 64 bit and follow this tutorial:
    http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro

    You may best start without building the kernel, because some things are missing as far as I can tell.
    Start with recovery, which is pretty easy.
    One thing to mind: the boot.img structure of mtk devices is different than the default ones.
    Just read, fiddle and learn :).
