Rom port

Is it possible to have a ROM port for Elife without the kernel sources ??

Since it shares hardware with so many other phones mainly nexus 5 ?

Yes it's done. Don't get hurry. I'm trying to get some permissions to share it.this way, I can request more resources from Gionee when we face with a probl.

As XDA's OEM Relations Manager, there are better ways to go about doing this. Feel free to contact me to discuss.

Any further updates on this burakgon? Maybe you should contact jerdog and find proper ways to talk to Gionee for more sources.

I'm the best person to get sources from Gionee here. I already have the full kernel source. What other sources we need for AOSP porting? Please tell me. I will get it.

Please more patience about this.

^^ Sorry, but I'm not a developer so dunno what else do we need exactly. Maybe some of interested devs can contribute to this thread. Glad to see you trying hard to get more information for this though. Can you get information from Gionee on Android kitkat update for E7? I see some of their low-mid range devices getting OTA updates so it's about time E7 should be getting update soon.

Can you tell us how long we must wait and what you are waiting for? You said you were going to give us the kernel source weeks ago :crying:

No ETA and patience. Just search for some good devs to port cyanogenmod faster and report me the state. Kernel source is already uploaded and private. I will make it public in shortest time.

I will also share the generalmobile firmware which is more close to stock android. With flash tools.

    lol by now im pretty sure he's just ****ing around with everyone lol

    Yes - and honestly I am about to close this thing up. It's been 45 days since he said

    I have the kernel source of this device from Gionee.

    If he had it - he should have posted it. He's continued to be a troll and get everyone's hopes up. So yeah - closing this.

    @burakgon when you actually do have the kernel source, follow developer standards and release it on github so that all can profit and contribute. And PM me when you have it and I can open this back up.

    Hi guys, pushing sources to my github. My internet is very slow. It will be completed in about 10 hours.

    Note: I have many devices (E7) to brick. Also I have flash tools and flash packages of stock roms to bring device life after full brick.

    I can test anything on my device. Please don't hestitate to asking me about testing something.
