[Discussion] Project CM12.1 for LG G4. Absolutly Alpha!! Dont ask for ETA Or Download

[MetaIIica]

after a small look i have found CM12.1 Repos for our H815 and i think we start now Tests to get workable Builds... Think, the first way are dirty but who cares

https://github.com/lg-devs

i have nothing to do with this and this is not my three so the credits and thanks are given to LG-Devs

think this are the Devicetree what we need:

https://github.com/lg-devs/proprietary_vendor_lge
https://github.com/lg-devs/android_device_lge_g4-common
https://github.com/lg-devs/android_device_lge_h815
https://github.com/lg-devs/android_kernel_lge_msm8994

lets get start united

Interesting, hope we get UB, and root soon

I've had this building since Friday but unfortunately it gets stuck at the LG screen. I'm going to play around again this afternoon and see where I can get to.

Although the Github description for the msm8994 kernel says "G4", the H815 needs the msm8992 kernel. Also the partition sizes in g4-common aren't correct for the H815, they need to be

BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 4341104640
BOARD_USERDATAIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 24897388544

This is the local manifest I've been using

I also tried to build CM and working with AOSP preview M1 ( source from LG devs ) but it fails. I will play with them later tonight. Hopefully find a way to solve it.

Is it possible cm ROM from single SIM it can work on dual SIM by changes kernal ?

 

[KonterBiER]

I hope someone of you guys will get it working! :good:
Thank you!

 

[vegetaleb]

It will work sooner or later!
It's already a great news to see the start of work of CM 12.1 on G4, I just hope the camera app of stock rom can be ported

 

[djsubterrain]

CM mods actually use the muppets repository, which the G4 isn't on yet...

EDIT: Never mind, read above :S

 

[Ferindel]

We are all excited about CM12.1 coming on our smartphone, best thing to do now is just wait for the official rom to come out, which hopefully will be soon. Just be patient guys ; )

 

[aydinbahadir88]

let's hope that there soon finally CM for our G4

 

[bleuxeon]

let's hope that there soon finally CM for our G4

And you would have to say bye-bye to the very good LG camera...

 

[MetaIIica]

And you would have to say bye-bye to the very good LG camera...

with a hoping good port we must not say good bye

Surely, the Camera is great, but we have good alternative.. such as U-Cam

I successfully build ROM + kernel but fails to flash. Some thing to do with............" failed to mount /dev/blocl/bootdevice/by-name/system......"I also tried to flash the kernel over the stock ROM and it seems to boot fine.

update: Ummm it seems to be fine with twrp-2.8.7.0-h815.img. I can see the CM boot animation..keep fingers crossing.

 

[KonterBiER]

Very nice @janjan!
Keep us updated please! Maybe you can make a fork with your changes if you got it running?

 

[janjan]

Let me know if any one want to play with my build and kernel. I am going to upload it incase any one want to work with it. I will continue my work as well. Going to play with AOSP later tonight or tomorrow. I think we are close to fix all the issues with CM build.

@janjan: can you upload some screenshots? It sounds too good to be true
