I am noticing this phone doesn't have a lot of development and this phone is a really nice one. It's fast and it runs anything I throw at it. I want to start porting some ROMs and maybe compile a kernel for it and see what this baby can do more. Any ideas on what ROMs you want me to port and I will start from there? Thanks guys.

I've been working on a tree I've been authoring from scratch. Hopefully I'll have it finished soon so I can get the kernel updated and up to nougat and then to Oreo. I've had to learn everything on the fly and things keep getting in the way, but hopefully things will go much smoother for all of us once my tree is finished.

all the roms out are emui and i feel it makes this phone a lot slower than the specs would otherwise say it should be. would love love love to have Lineage OS on this phone as well.

OP -- Not that I'm not salivating at the thought of getting lineageos on this phone, but what are your credentials..? You've only made two posts on xda (both on this thread), so understand the hesitation to run anything you release. Who are you - how long have you been at it, have you released any roms elsewhere?

In any case, welcome to xda!

I used to create ROMS for HTC Evo Shift 4G. Also known as the shifty. It was called Ginger8. I don't have the older HTC so I stopped development.
Sweet, well thanks for coming and showing our devices some love! I be happy to test it like I said, and I'll send you logs and what not just in case there's any issues.

Looking forward to it AMD. I do not have a spare device so I cannot test it. But I'll be lurking for this day. Please keep us updated. Thanks !

Tried flashing it and it won't boot up. Will continue to look into this more. Might be possible to build Lineage OS for this device. I will try that tonight and post back with results.
