[SIZE=+1]CM11 for LG L90 LG-D415[/SIZE]

Ok guys and gals... I must first state that this is not my original work. The CM11 base I'm building off of is all due to the hard work and efforts of @Quarx. His ROM is located here for devices other than the LG-D415.

This thread was created to assist @Quarx by not littering his thread with posts for LG-D415 devices. He doesn't own a D415, but I do :silly::D

With that said...

[SIZE=+1]To use this ROM you MUST have an unlocked bootloader[/SIZE]

All specs with this ROM are the same as the specs with @Quarx ROM minus the fact that this ROM is built specifically for D415 devices


What's working

Bluetooth
Calls
Front camera
GPS
Mobile Data
Rear Camera
Superb battery life :D
WIFI
Most everything else :D

What's NOT working or working correctly

CM Updater ( Until I figure out how to implement my own )
Video recording ( front/rear camera. Works for some, not for others :confused: )
Video playback ( Works for some, not for others :confused: )
IR
LG Knock Code ( Double tap to wake )

Changelogs

12/02/2014

No changes to note on my end. View CM's changelog for any changes/updates.

10/22/2014

  • Removed NFC again
  • Removed FM Radio again
  • There may be some OS changes thanks to the CM team. See their changelog for changes.
  • SELinux is still disabled in this build. Device doesn't seem to like it when it's enabled. LOL...
    Something else to figure out
10/07/2014

  • Changed kernel configs and dtbs from W7_TMO_US to W7_OPEN_CIS. My first few builds were built using W7_OPEN_CIS. Seems to be fewer issues with those ROMs than my most recent. ;)
  • Re-enabled NFC. I'm starting to think it does exist on the device.
  • Re-enabled FM. Strangley I can at least hear static now. So the hardware may actually be there.
  • Any other changes would be OS related and would be noted by CM in their changelog.
  • Enabled the "Quick Key", the button above volume keys, to wake the display.

10/04/2014

  • Removed most NFC related stuff. D415 doesn't have NFC
  • Removed FM Radio.apk. D415 doesn't have FM receiver
  • FIX - Correct camera drivers now load on device start up
  • FIX - Video playback drivers
  • Too many other changes over the last month to begin to try and remember. LOL
  • My last sync with CM may have had some fixes incorporated. About a week ago

09/10/2014 - There have been no real "changes" in any of my builds besides editing some config files and adding files to fully specify the device as a w7 device and not a w7ds device. The D415 is not a dual sim device which I believe was part of the conflict between @Quarx builds and the D415 devices. So with the 09/10 build as far as I have been able to determine, everything about the build now identifies the device as a w7 device.​

Probably not. I've only been building with my fixes on top of @Quarx sources on GitHub. I'm still trying to get everything of mine over to GitHub at the moment. I unfortunately have a full time job so I don't have a ton of free time. The weekends are usually the only free time I have. I overslept today and decided to play hookey for the rest of the day. LOL. Imma bad bad boy LMAO.

When I get settled in to GitHub and have a chance to really check out the source code, I'll then see what I can do. :D

Hey bro well i found your repo i was wondering are you going to set it up to where their will be your own device tree kernel etc? I also have d415 and would like to use this as a base and see what i can do to help get some things working/test and share.

I have built from the most recent source via Quarx repo however it still has all the issues with wifi, gps, and camera some of which you have gotten to work, may I ask what you altered to get those working?

Eventually. Don't fork anything yet. I've gotta change a few things at github.

Sure ,you can ask but I'll never tell. LOL. Just kidding.

It's actually kinda long winded tho and I'm not sure I can explain exactly what needs to be done. It will be easier for me to fix my GitHub and have you fork from it than to explain everything in enough detail to understand what needs to be done.

I'm just getting in from work. Hopefully I can have my GitHub repaired in the next couple hours :)

Just want to say thanks to you (for the D415 version) as well as Quarx for supporting this phone! I must say this L90, even with the stock ROM, was the best $50 I ever spent. I am still discovering features on this phone that I had no idea were even on here, such as NFC, infrared remote, and even the flashlight (yeah, I really thought this didn't have a camera flash until I launched the Torch app). But now to see this phone with CM11 just makes it that much better of a deal. Other than the front camera currently not working, which is fine for me since I never use it anyway, this ROM is absolutely fantastic and is twice as fast as the stock LG ROM.

Keep up the good development work! If you have any experimental ROMs, kernels, or any other mods, please let me know and I will be happy to test them. This is a great little phone for the price tag, and I'd love to see the development blossom for this thing.

1) Happy Birthday to me :eek::D:p:silly:
2) I'm doing a test build now to see if I managed to fix what I broke last night. LOL
3) If #2 is successful, then I'll upload my kernel sources to GitHub for those who are interested. Then I'll also post a link in the OP to my GitHub for CM11.

Cross y'alls fingers and toes! No eyes please!!! LMAO...

Ok. I got it to build. It flashes and boots just fine. But... I'm having one heck of a time pushing my kernel sources to GitHub. :confused::mad:

The kernel sources are where most of the changes/additions I've made are. Without them the rest of the project is useless. LOL. I'm not sure if the issue is my wifi adapter or the wifi router I'm connected to but I keep getting kicked off during an upload. Sometimes I can get it to resume but never long enough got it to complete the upload. Grrrr...
