Find devs for 2nd boot cm10 romw - LG Optimus 4X HD

i had a motorola defy with locked bootloader. There were no hope for updates and for custom roms. Till dev (quarx) did it. Now defy has jelly bean (cm10). Lets search for devs and make a donation app, so they can buy our phone add develop one great rom.

Great idea, but do we have enough people? No one will buy the phone if we can donate only ~100€

well, not to develop ROM, but better to sacrifice their/his phone to try unlocking bootloader..

we've now source code, i think it'll help us

Yes it will...well at least for a custom kernel i think. Still, drivers have to come from Nvidia. And everyone knows about their reputation when it comes providing open source codes and such.

incorrect, i made the Sense custom for Defy way before even CM9 was invented, but correct 2nd-init was working already then and no none really spend much investigating how to use it early on, but that was probably 1yr+ ago.

Quarx was the first one who figured it out, how to 2nd boot the cm7 rom on defy. maybe he could give some tips for devs in our comminity.
PS: i can remember your rom

We're definitely not that big. I'd say theres no more than 15-20 that uses this phone and that would be interested in develpment advancement

i did mine in feb.2011 , Quarx did his first post of cm7 in april 2011, i do not know if that helps your memory. (i did check all his post on the topic) . I strongely believe i was utilizing 2ndinit on defy on a customrom, and i was introducing it here on o4x for now.
but to stay on topic, no one seems to have faith in a CM10 for O4X here, i tried to port, but that never went well, and compiling only helps so far as the ril driver is documented by LG here.
but the rest should be straight forward, since we share chipset with OneX which got quite far now.
btw,
i did post my CM10 rom as nandroid backup using 2nd init , so your request is already existing on o4x, just not with a phone functionality.

Sorry, i had my defy since may 2011. then you are right. at the beginning there were also phone functionality problems, we shouldn't loose faith

I have downloaded the file and it is .zip file .. It has two files that are kernel and platform files >> Good news
Now, I can see all the files for our O4X and everything is clear . We can make modification for it and install it by CWM
I hope you guys all the best with development . The kernel file has the drivers for our O4X

Please, look at the information of tegra 3 and open your eyes as much as you can at the official website
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/tegra-3-uk.html
Maybe you need it sooner or later ..
Best regards,

IMHO
As long as the kernel is not signed u cant really use it. i dont remember anyone using 2nd init on milestone for a custom kernel.
they actually just adapted CM for the old kernels wich is a lot of work i think... And that could be done for our 4xHD as well the problem is
actually that u need the devs for it.
And i think no dev really wants 2 work on a standart phone unless he has it and really wants to keep it and mod on it.

[Sgm Development] We need some more people for sgm development

Common guys we need more developers for our galaxy mini.. Its really jealous to see galaxy 5 to be ahead of our mini in terms of ROM making and other improvements.. For our device there is only one recognized developer tj_style.. We need more.. We need to make a group of some senior members and start some serious developing for our mini.. I would be contacting some senior members namely tj_style(obviously),parasmi,roofrider,r33p and many more.. Those who know some advanced editing and other stuffs plzz post on this thread that u r ready..
DONT MESS THIS THREAD.. AND NO OFF TOPIC TALKS PLEASE
im new to android but i know how to programm maybe i can help if u need something
very good , to be more ROM for Galaxy mini
hahaa....u shud remove my name frm there. i dont know linux and coding. but a few do know like distan7 and netas3k...but it's not easy to just develop or port a rom. takes time wen ur a beginner and no1 has that kind of time.

Wait dude.. Don't get so excited.. Wait for the experts to get ready..!!
From what i understand (which is not much) r33p was doing a great job with his MiniMod X rom but he quitted when emanoN rom came out. He said his work wasn't needed anymore and he was gonna try other phones.
I say, lests bring this guy back because he seams to know what he is doing.

I was going through the miui forums.. And it seems that there is no hope that they will port their ROM for our device.. Can we try that??
crazy_k_p,
We can't port the MIUI ROM to our device without the source code.... And well it's closed-source and the MIUI team won't give the code. Asked already.... So MIUI is no go.... Tried without the code but since it is made for HDPI screens and our is LDPI so.... Doesn't even boot...

Yeah I read about that some days back.. But I also found that a group of developers tried to port miui ROM for galaxy 3.. But they left the project in between.But it seems that they made a huge progress in porting that..
Thanks for the invitation!! But, I don't think I am the suitable candidate for this..

I agree with Manphius... We should get the real talent on the road. If he agrees, maybe netask and he and few others who are actually good at linux and android can do it. I am a windows software developer --currently starting to develop apps for android-- and i know very less on linux and its command line.
Also, I don't have sufficient time as its need huge research to develop roms and moreover to learn linux from beginning is very hard. I have a dual boot with linux but use it rarely (one can say never too ). But, if you guyz are doing it I am ready to support you guyz and help to the extent I can.
Good Luck to you all!! But, I really don't have that much talent to develop a rom.

Can't you try porting the MIUI rom made for galaxy family devices such as galaxy s, galaxy 3, etc? I think it will easier since these device have similar characteristic and we might even be able to get the code of the ported MIUI rom....

I have started development kernel you can see from my signature below,
Will help if I can.
I tried porting a stock Sense ROM once, I only got it to boot (stuck at lockscreen)

[Q] hope i don't get flamed for this question...sorry if i bother anyone :\ :|

i actually have a very small question. am new to this forum and wish to know if our optimus black has any dedicated developer (like knzo) who is trying to port or make ROMs for the BLACK???....
i had an x10 mini b4 and i sold it to get this cell. now even the x10 mini (with it's paltry specs) has a working ICS build and i have a "cake on my face" feeling
i had a talk with MIUI about the support and they told me that our cell will get support by Q1 2012.
but as said, i was fancying a RAW UNCUSTOMIZED ICS flavor for our black...now, am NOT trying to create a spam thread about ICS or a hate thread about LG...
i just wanted to know whether any dev is working with our device??
P.S. - please don't kill me for asking this question.
i asked the admin for a dedicated "Q&A" forum, but nobody backed my request
waiting for your replies
Ricardo is our CM9 dev for LG devices.
this is his google plus:https://plus.google.com/115049428938715274412/posts
I dont think we have a dev for ICS ROM in XDA....
But aprold and knzo should be continuing Nova kernel from CM7 to CM9. so we just have to wait for Ricardo to finish his job!(i think still have some bugs left and camera not working)
EDIT: i think the only working ROMs we have are knzo's Nova ROM and Pay's ROM....and for kernel is Quasar kernel done by knzo and currently what i am using now CM7 #20 with knzo's Nova kernel for CM7(but the current dev has been transferred to aprold both of them are working together!) LG devices are kinda cold(i donnoe about LG O2X though pretty popular) so its not surprising to see that we have not much devs. LG peeps have been telling us that we will have our hands on official GB by November this year but i think none of us have the official GB on our phone yet(they fail in promises) that's why we are using CM7(GB) and waiting for CM9(ICS)

Well we do have some senior members helping us on a number of occasions ranging from simple theming, modding and giving little guidance every now and when up to getting overclocking kernel , but only exclusive dev working on ics rom is Ricardo.
But hey till we get our basic requirements being helped, i 'm satisfied with that; and who knows any time a new dev could be coming just like aprold with kernel project and temasek with cherrypicked kangs... So, i 'm happy.
You can see my signature, i 've thanked a few of senior members in our forum here; a little gratitude from my side.

yes...i have seen his profile in G+, thanks for the lead.
now, for those who want to gain some knowledge about porting or making AOSP ROMs,i have found a nice little tutorial for them...it's very juvenile and lucid. all you need is to run linux on your workstation. as of me, my idiot idiot brother formatted my workstation along with EVERY single DOCUMENT of mine!!!!
and am on an agonizingly slow bandwidth so cannot d/l ubuntu over again along with other necessities. i am uploading the pdf for your reference (if any1 of you are interested, that is)...all you need is ubuntu, VM/cygwin, git/source, patience and time there are loads of other guides if you are actually wanting to port a nice rom(or even thinking of making one)
(now, making a good,flawless,working ROM requires good knowledge about android and developing skills, yet u can give it a try )
once any1 starts the project and get stuck,post the work in DEV section and hopefully some of our knowledgeable senior members can take the lead
happy trying

many define a custom rom by the option to compile a kernel from source.
we cannot include a modified kernel, without semi-bricking our devices.
but we can change startup and we can init kernel parameters a second time, to allow loading of different services and libraries, which for some is enough to load a customized kernel for graphics mod, removing adware, loading modules and porting cm10,aokp and other roms, like sense or similar miui roms.
i personally believe a port of highly modified rom, is custom. other believe its not a real rom
anyways with the clockworkmod i made its possible, as long as you do the same hijack when needed to change kernel init services or libraries to load.

lack of support from more developers i guess, seems other hardware devices are more popular, and propably much easier to get donations on that on a device with locked bootloaders where development stops at the locked device. today, donations is very popular and driving many towards popular devices.

[DEV][WIP] Porting & Booting Custom Rom via 2nd-Init

Code:
Disclaimer
**This isn't a ROM/anything you can download and install
**This Development Thread for Developer to have their idea's and sharing to get thing working
**I don't own a LG OPTIMUS 4X HD nor do i going to have $$ spent on it (I am not rich)
**I have bad experience with LG phone on the past
**I don't guaranteeing things working for you as i work on this on my free time & what's ETA?=SH1T
**How about a team? It's good if their's people lending a hand but i'm not into a team
As all O4XHD user should have encountering problem encountering Locked Bootloader which halt all the development here.
LG are ignoring user request for unlocking the bootloader for user therefore a effort have carried out to unlocked BL
I looked on a Tegra 3 Beast that doesn't even have any Custom Rom at all (I am shocked) therefore i might tried carry out some
development but as i would said it's slow and don't expect much because i don't own any device to test nor i'm a good developer
With BL Locked we need to do some workaround for the device.
Now starting to collecting data and required info for working on the device.
I need to focus my ongoing project for other device therefore don't expect thing will be done fast as i developing this for a phone i don't own.
What Can You Do?
[*]Post Link Regarding Info Might Be Useful
[*]Share some developer/workaround info
[*]Need some tester (Checkout the requirement)
[*]No ETA's & Trolling (Development Area)
[*]Can help by donating me (maybe getting device for me if thing work)
More to add.

+1 happy to test have been using custom ROMs for years now. I have been looking to use HTC one x cm9 ROM as a port but I don't really have enough knowledge and have got as far as modifying build prop and kernel but not sure if it will get any where because of boot loader. Good luck sounds like you have more experience than me.
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium
i know i can do nothing but a little support and a thank for you
I saw from another thread, that you already found the leaked bootloader.Because I'm entirely inexperienced with the Android ecosystem (and Linux in general), I can't offer much of help, but I'm willing to be a beta-tester if you cook up something!
There was some work to get CM9 running on the device using 2nd-Init. Im going to look into 2nd-init a bit more, and try booting a htc one x CM9 on this which might only just work.
I suppose you already found these?

Same goes here.
I am trying 2nd-init and as i don't have this device i can't progress.
Still looking in holes that can get us something.
CWM isn't complete as it doesn't really complete flashable(maybe)
but thanks for other for the link.
Any 2nd-init related thread are required to study more better on 2nd-init function.

Looks like you're abit too late bud. We had a fund raiser to give the money to a dev to work on the phone. Its already been claimed by kholk and I "think" that he's doing what he can. Its just your luck you didn't contact us first. If I'm not wrong, about 500-600 euros was given to kholk

Yeah, but kholk is working on unlocking the bootloader. He might not succeed, so it's great if more devs are interested and have a look at 2nd-init (which works quite well on older Motorola devices, such as Milestone and Defy).

Yeah, but kholk is working on unlocking the bootloader. He might not succeed, so it's great if more devs are interested and have a look at 2nd-init (which works quite well on older Motorola devices, such as Milestone and Defy).

I will look on it but then it doesn't mean a smooth progress.
Just helping here.
some hints to get resolved.
bootup "wallpaper" binary is started by lg.early.rc which checks for DRM binaries are where they should be in /system/lib and /vendor/lib folder, which normally would exclude any option for refreshing those at bootup.
bootup init files replace and removed if you use 2nd-init and it will reload the same binaries and you might get locked up, if its not cleaned.
modem binaries: they require some authentication it seems to get enabled, i did not find out what triggers it but using logcat -b radio did not help much on my OneX build.
wifi: LG have already compiled the kernel with the wifi driver built-in, which Means the libhardware_legacy, needs to skip the stage to insmod the wifi driver, it can be tricky or you need a workaround reloading the BTHID kernel module, to get around it.
for the wallpaper binary, you can always run it from Shell checking if you touched or removed liblgdrm or libdrmframework files, as it will Lock bootup, but thats only if you got the device in your hands, otherwise testers need to prepare to use the original kdz files and reflash Again, spending alot of time on nothing
using Mount -obind to get around replacing the files needed is the trick to replace lib supposed to be in /system/lib at bootup, using "ln -s" to point to a different bind'd folder when you actually can do it (from like a vold wrapper or so)
thats all hints i can come up with for now.
talked to some guys whom done 2nd Init.
They said aren't impossible but i am not sure they can help on this project.
I can't do much,don't have O4X for testing as well.
this the part of updates here
i do not believe anyone can do much without the o4x remote, especially when playing with 2nd-init and bypassing security and trying to improve.
it will probably die before it starts getting to boot
initially i seemed to be the only one getting a custom modded port working on o4x and i needed the device to get that far and as you said previously you will not ask for another contributed device, so it might just stop with our premodded recoveries by 2nd-init and maybe be leaked cm10 i did in another thread. (although not worth much)

Create a rom with a second init is the best option?A new rom ICS installed via cmw with the same kernel...
create a vanilla version (,a clean version,stile Nexus),for example a v10H, deodexed, without Lg programs and useless programs. I Believe the users like it a clean version, fast ,and powerful.
Would be interested in a stripped and tweaked version of stock, vanilla style ics. If it's do able?

Guess you haven't read the OP. I doubt this is a "make a wish" thread...

Might as well make a wish, not a lot else happening for this phone atm.

Some other guys already tried 2nd init boot. But they encountered a problem. Can't remember what it was though.

If people want stripped off based rom like what they did over HTC OneX and other forum does,I can do it but if anyone interested i will post link of those
To Test it but after i done on CM10.1 Alpha 3 for Xperia Arc/S

Lollipop for the Optimus 2x

Welcome to the official thread for the Lollipop roms for our Optimus 2x
As to start, this thread is exclusively for the developers who are interessted/working on on the Lollipop ports for our Optimus 2x
We had alredy some build like the OmniRom , CM12 and even ParanoidAndroid.
This thread is exclusively for discussions for the developers and for the testers to test the new made roms so I will update the links as the roms get made. So I am only posting here the links of the latest version, to get the versions from the past you wil need to browse throught this thread
Update 05/6/2016
Gucky did it again! New build for CyanogenMod 12.1 is up, and now with fixed camera! When I get the full list of working features and bugs, I will upload it here. Thank you Gucky for your massive help and contribution to this community. This device is very old after all, and you still find the time to tinker on it. No words really. Respect!
CM12.1 : https://sourceforge.net/projects/lg...cm-12.1-20160531-UNOFFICIAL-p990.zip/download
WARNING the Rom is still not stable, but we are close!
ParanoidAndroid: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Puri/p990/AOSPA(lollipop)
Take in mind that all these roms are unstable besides the CM12 rom,but it still has some major bugs which we as a group will fix.
As in all of this, stay tuned for updates
Good job my friend
Thank you very much. I'm downloading right now. It would be useful, if you could upload your (Lokal) Manifest, too. So we are able to re- build the rom with the necessary changes.
Looking forward!
Credits goes to you!
um

Hello everyone.As you might know me from some threads where i comment some stuff.Anyways, since Lollipop was announced i was obssesed with it and my wish was that i would be the first one to make the version availble for our device.
Well i kinda did it....KINDA of course but we need some help if we wanna make it work.I call ALL of the developers for our device to work together to make it work.We are so close to get it fully booting.I made it boot to the animation and now where the help comes in use.We need some developers who can enable ADB on our device in the bootanimation.TO be honest i dont really know anything about sources and that stuff but i know some things.With the help of @tonyp and @timduru which I am the most thankfull of that gave me hope to make this.So here we go!
WARNING!!!
ONLY FOR DEVELOPERS
No one should download and flash this rom because you will get stuck in the bootanimation and will need to install previouse rom again and install everything over...blah blah blah.
Also the link to the rom is here ----> https://www.dropbox.com/s/fwhg08ux7qhtgsh/5.0 test.zip?dl=0
So if someone gets it working, please pm me in the progress. Cheers

Well to be honest, i dont really know how to share the menifest because i didn't use much the source. I was porting the Cm11 tonyp's rom and the rom from timduru, so i dont really know how to share the manifest lol

Did you change some files in the zips or did you build a new rom in the way Raum described, my friend?

nope

nope, didn't touch anything other than the updater script i think and the build prop because i wanted fully stock experience
I can be your tester my phone got a battery problem so im having fun with flashing roms
I will try to exchange the updater script from my build with yours.
Lets see if I can flash mine.
And your your problem: I think there are one or more patches that we maybe need, witch timduru wont need because of the tegra3 hardware. (maybe some patch for our old egl hardware)

Well, it might be that he used KatKiss from timduru for the TF101 which has a Tegra 2, but still our phone uses the Tegra 2 AP20H, while the TF101 uses Tegra 2 T20. Small difference in the chipset, but still a difference. Easiest would be to port from the Galaxy R or Captivate Glide, but they too struggle with Lollipop over in their forum. Anyway, TheMysteryouse used timduru's AOSP rom, so maybe it would be easier building the whole thing from the demo CM12 sources available.
nonono

Nope, this rom has NOTHING to do with the tegra 3 rom.I used the rom for TF101 tablet which is tegra 2 but had a cmall chipset difference.So yeah I am still trying to do some things like searching the framework sources from tony to see if he has a code in the build.prop which directly enables ADB from the boot, but cant really find it.Anyways try your best and so the others.Cheers
Hi guys, after some testings I could get booting to finish. There are some errors left. But I will work further this evening and upload the rom afterwards. Think this will remain a test build for some time, till Tony or DJ can fix the errors.
Stay tuned!
Any video or screenshot? xD
Sorry for nob request, but working well or not, its great to our comunity
p.s. if need tester in future, you, TheMysteryouse or DJNoXD.
Im ready for
...WoW!...That´s Good News...Thank You for All of You, Guy´s...

Awesome news buddy! Lollipop on first power dual core android device! Switch to 1+ One as a primary phone for some reason but I will continue to follow and supporto you!
That is great!!! ))))))))
Ok. I have to go one step back. The rom is not ready for the testers and I'm too tired to test more. For those, who want to repeat my steps or want to finish...
I replaced the files in Mystery's rom with my own Kitkat ones. The first half, than the second. Now I could get it to finish the booting process. This steps I went on and on. So I could reduce the problem to the framework-files in "system". If you replace all of them, it boots up with some error messages.
I think we have to reduce the 40 files inside more and more to find the reason for the bootloop.
All the best to you,my friends!
Damm this is great a device from 2010 receives android L. 4years later. If I can borrow the old optimus 2x from my father then I could also look into the problems if it's not booting yet then. Till then continue your work.
