hello exhibit community, i assume this is the correct forum, otherwise sorry mods. i recently "inherited" a t599n and i am taking the challenge of compiling an ubuntu touch rom for the device. i have very little android/pc experience. however, i have successfully built from source (cyanogenmod) and ported quite a few roms to other devices. i just upgraded my ubuntu version to saucy as precise was unable to install the phablet tool. i will be using meticulous's github sources and i will start building tonight/tommorrow depending on repo dl. any dev suggestions?
fail
i was unable to build the meticulus kernel with ubuntu source provided. i was able to build the system.img and boot.img. but w/o the ubuntu touch kernel specifics, the results are a bootloop. im off to new ventures for now as im unable to port anything to this device as of yet. i have some ideas revolved around slimroms soon.

Hi,
can somebody port Sailfish OS for our device?
Samsung SIII got a Sailfish OS port from a user , so is here anyone looking for porting Sailfish to our device?
Sailfish Kickstart
Hi Guys, sorry to bump an old thread but surly Sailfish makes a lot of sense on our old devices? The more efficient memory and resource management of the platform make it a suitable candidate for porting and to the best of my knowledge all we need to do is take the build scripts and change it to reference the galaxymtd branch of Cyanogenmod 10.2 and they will do the rest.
If there is enough interest i can create a thread with all the relevant details needed for porting to the i9000
For any of you who might be interested in giving this a shot (I simply do not have the time or energy to even attempt it) https://sailfishos.org/develop/hadk/ <--- will come in handy.
In case you are not aware, here are the kernel sources for the Huawei P8lite. This means that you can now build CyanogenMod or custom kernels for this phone.
Downloads
ALE-L02/ALE-L21/ALE-L23
ALE-L04 (Old 4.4.4 Source)
After seeing the interest for CyanogenMod or a similar AOSP ROM, there is a guide here that shows you how to port CM to a new device. Unfortunately, I can't do it because I don't own the device but if you try, best of luck
If dd98 agrees, i would use this thread to discuss and collect info about how to compile an armv8a kernel for our phone.
By the way, if i run this command in the phone console:
uname -a
It says our stock kernel is for armv7l. Is it normal?
Has anybody already tried to compile from source? Any success?
Any further development on this?
@dd98 I have device and willing to port can you guide on how to do this?
I'm going to try enable USB OTG for B170 for ALE-L21.
Oh.. This is and old thread..
There are already some developers busy with development of custom roms for the Huawei P8 Lite.
There kernel and the source can already been build for android 5 and android 6.

Cyanogenmod is for the moment a problem because of good vendor files.
For now only wifi is working on AOSP builds, as long that there is no RIL ( calling ) you can't do anything with the Custom rom.
I'm personally have buid a bootable rom with Omnirom.
Source for that rom you can find here : https://github.com/olrak2/android_device_huawei_alice/
Somebody tried enable usb otg?
Hi
I am trying to port omnirom to my new phone as above.
So far I have repo'd the omnirom sources
populated device using oppo_find7 as a base
Changed all references to oppo/find7 to wileyfox/kipper
When launching the build it errors looking for msm8974-common.mk.
After further research it appears that the device uses qualcomm 601 chip which is msm8939. Unfortunately there does not seem to be anything in the omni repos matching so would one of these be safe
CyanogenMod/android_device_cyanogen_msm8939-common/tree/cm-13.0
or
oppo-dev/android_device_oppo_msm8939-common
thanks
try this guide.

i just found out about it, BTW i am also trying to port omnirom for oneplus2. can't seem to find a proper guide for omniROM. no issues with cm based ROMs.
Can anyone upload the AOSP device tree for sprout to compile AOSP based ROM?
I'd like to build a proper Chroma ROM (the one currently built doesn't have supersu built in, no bootanimation, etc)
I cannot seem to build with CM's device tree, I've been messing with it all around to no avail
Thanks.

I hope this discussion help you have a look at it. And this too http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29077612/build-aosp-rom-with-cyanogenmod-device-files
Thanks, I finally figured out everything, AOSP doesn't do inline kernel building like CM so I need to make sure Android.mk exists on the kernel folder. That exactly what my problem is.
Happy to help...i hope we see numbsr of quality aosp builds from you.Aosp roms on this device has been a bit buggy uptill now.Best luck buddy.
hello all, fairly new to rom development and have gotten almost fully through the process of making my first rom!
my only question is how to include the kernel, vendor and other nesecary files for building in the local manifests xml file.
I found this repo from detcaf which seems to be all the stuff I need but I am unsure how to include it into the xml file.
the rom I am trying to build is based of cyogenmod 11 (android 4.4 kitkat)
detcaf repo: Decatf/android_device_samsung_p4wifi at cm-11.0
guide I have been following: [GUIDE] Build crDroid ROM from source | XDA Forums
sorry if there is aready a post on this that I am unaware of, if so please link it below..
Thankyou so much in advance
Luca
