[ABANDONED][ROM][x3_row][6.0.1][CM13][Unofficial] CyanogenMod 13.0 for Lenovo Vibe X3

[arpit_nnd]

CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

/*
 * 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.
 */

CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to flash your own Google Applications package (Gapps). CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit their Gerrit Code Review.

WARNING: The ROM is in Alpha stage and a lot of things are broken. This is not at all a daily driver.

• Display & touchscreen
• Hardware buttons (including capacitive keys)
• Mobile network, data & dual SIM
• WiFi & WiFi hotspot

Feel free to contact me on Telegram @arpit_nnd if you would like to contribute.

I got a clean build. But ended up in bootloop. BTW were you able to get a logcat??

I got the boot loop too. The phone just freezed as i played a game and then restarted itself and now its bootlooping forever. How do you fix that?

You were able to boot the device? What are the changes you made to the device tree? If possible can you share your code? And which ROM did you build?

I did not do anything at all! I flashed the Marshmallow stock rom months before and yesterday the phone just freezed while i was playing a game. The it restarted itself and got the bootloop... Neither the recovery or the Qualcomm service menu can boot. I tried the QFIL unbrick method by flashing all the stock roms i could find but nothing changed.

Yeah, I am able to get the logcat and dmesg. Pretty likely it's the kernel or dt causing issues.

You are in the wrong thread mate, this one isn't for stock ROM.

Did you try the boot.img of the other cm 13 ROM?? I couldn't try it because I'm away from my PC at the moment.

If you are referring to Xiaobai's CM builds, they aren't for the x3_row.
There are a number of reasons why it wouldn't work well.

One thing I haven't really tried (primarily because there is no reason it would help; my device tree is written from scratch for the x3_row), is flashing the Chinese stock before flashing my builds.
I have uploaded a newer build(not booting yet). So, if anyone can test out flashing over Chinese stock and report, it will be great.

EDIT: Tried swapping the boot image with Xiaobai's builds, device booted fine, most of the things were broken though (not so surprising). Things were very much the same as they were when I had built using Xiaobai's tree the very first time. Yet to test flashing over Chinese stock firmware.

Hmm... Which was your previous ROM? I mean the stock ROM version?

Was on S217.
Tried flashing over CN, same results.

@arpit_nnd, you tried using the stock kernel? That should at least bootup if I am correct, just made a assumption as xiaobai uses stock kernel as well.

CM updates ? Why ? This is an unofficial version and CYANOGEN will not update it.

I guess you got confused with CM Updater, my bad.
By CM updates I just meant that it's built with latest CM sources.
