[DISCUSSION] ROMs and Development

[Billybobjoe13245]

This thread is for users to exchange information regarding development for the LG K7


As we all know, there are no working custom roms for the LG K7. It's a real shame because that's just what this device needs.

I would like to revive this community and give a glimpse of hope for a custom rom. The community around this phone is no longer thriving like it was a year ago. Anyone willing to create some projects is welcome to discuss on this thread.

I would be interested in helping with development if I actually knew anything about porting roms. Seeing how most unofficial rom ports have basic stuff like the camera, GPS, or sometimes even WiFi completely broken I highly doubt I'd be able to provide the fixes for those if they arise. Best I could do would be to find already made patches for a phone using a similar configuration, and even then I'd more then likely have to go in and tweak a few things.

If you can provide me with easy to use tools for this sort of thing I'd be more then willing to help, and even then I can't really afford to lose functionality of my phone for even a day, so can't really test stuff on actual hardware for you

See, the LG K7 doesn't even have a basic rom like that. We need a place to start. I also don't have a clue of how to fix problems like that. I also don't have the proper hardware and software to make a rom myself.

Will be porting LOS 14.1 for K7. Working on a similar device now - LG K10 (MS428).

Can you make one for the LGMS330 model aswell please.

I am working on LineageOS for LG K7 (MetroPCS variant as of now). It's still a WIP and most things are broken. Hopefully I can come up with a worthwhile build soon.

Nice man! If you need any help or anything, ask and maybe I can provide.

What's all broken? And when do you plan on releasing it for public testing?

RIL, camera, sensors, etc. are mostly broken. Not really usable as of yet.

Yeah the camera and GPS seem to always be broken in unofficial roms, I'd imagine they're hard to find drivers for. Hope you figure it out man

Any updates so far?

Hope I could be of any help

I have a LG K7 permanently rooted looking for some fun so if you need the help I'm happy to help. My fingers are itching to get into some action. I just recently turned my attention back to my K7,since everone in the ZMAX Pro community wants to fuss and fight instead of finding out root. I'm ready to help as of yesterday, so let me know.

I'd be willing to help on this too, but it looks like you probably abandoned development, which is sad because this thing's probably never going to run anything newer then 5.1.1 unless you can come through on this.
