I did a search here and didn't see any info on this...
Now that ROMs are being rolled out, will we be seeing a Cyanogen Mod? I ran it on my G1, Mytouch Slide, G2, and need some Cyanogen loving for my D3...
Is he waiting for the unlocked bootloader?

Be patient. CyanogenMod is a source built ROM, it's compiled from source and the source code is a mix of AOSP from Google/Android and the CyanogenMod Team's own programming. Hashcode has been working very hard on getting the source ported so that it will compile and run on the Droid 3. He's also working on making it work in a "sandbox" area so as not to affect the stock ROM (easy to switch back and forth between the two).
All the current ROMs for the Droid 3 are modified stock ROMs. Some theme changes, app deletions/additions, a few build.prop edits, etc...

I am not that well versed on CyanoGen... I started off with a D2, and the flexribbon broke before I was able to see the dawn of custom kernels. Is cyanogen truly a custom kernel? If so, I assume we're trying to hijack the boot process to load dual kernels?

CyanogenMod on locked bootloaders hijacks the init process and runs on top of the stock kernel. No kernel replacement on locked bootloader phones.
Yyup, that's what I thought.
Also, according to Hashcode0f, well be seeing a CM7 beta in the very, very near future. He's going to be writing a dossier up on it shortly.

Even though it has a bootloader, that doesn't mean the development cannot take place. Why not develop now so when the bootloader gets unlocked, you will already have a pretty descent ROM to flash on!

Technically the radio works (3G data), but the phone app crashes due to an audio codec issue I'm looking at.
But be careful anyway.

Honestly, I don't believe the bootloader will ever be unlocked. It will have to be unlocked by Motorola and I just do not believe that they ever will.
So developing ROMs (from source) will require using the 2nd-init process CM7 is using to boot the "new" OS on top of the stock kernel. Kernel will remain stock.......
Did you forget who bought motorola? Google! And google supports devs. Like all the unlocked nexus phones! It will be released sooner or later! Have hopes!

If the acquisition passes through (which likely won't be soon).. word is Google bought them more for patents than for anything else. If we're lucky, Google might make sure future phones are unlocked. However I highly doubt Google will do anything about phones already released.
Plus Moto said they would release an update to unlock the bootloaders where carrier approved. The other variations of the droid 3 may get unlocked, but I doubt big red will give their approval for unlocking the droid 3.
Just a heads up for all you people thinking its gonna take ages

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.
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)

+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.

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?

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?

To Test it but after i done on CM10.1 Alpha 3 for Xperia Arc/S
Hello There!
So i just got my new xperia Z from my company and it is for two years and i had to pay for it anyway.
I have choosen this one cause i knew its a good phone and have loads of devs, and i didnt check if there is any aosp for locked bootloader i was sure, and i thought i can unlock mine anyway.
I was about to unlock my bootloader and i saw i cant do it i googled for 3-4 hours , and there is no way to unlock it even if you pay for it or something.(T-mobile hungary )
At the moment there is no AOSP rom for locked bootloader.
Here is my question : Sony updates this phone really fast, almost as AOSP or 1-2 months i see some good devs making sony custom roms for our device, Can any of you make AOSP only pure cyanogenmod thaths all i need. I'm Sick of the bloatware that sony has in their roms.
I just boot up my phone and half the memory gone.
Are the sony built kernels and custom roms kernels so different? Is it ompossible to make an AOSP rom ?
I would love to see one , i will definately use it and test it for bugs.
I know **** about android development (or any other) but i will get into because i dont want to use ****ty sony roms for 2 years
Cheers!
Viktor
There is no way to get AOSP on a locked device. Is not only that the kernels are different, but the thing is locked bootloaders only run signed Sony kernel.
If memory is your main concern, flash a debloated, stripped down version of Sony's roms.

yea but we should build an aosp rom for the sony kernel or is it that hard?
in theory its very possible but what will you really gain?
You will have to use pretty much all original binary blobs, and will end up with some framework changes.
is there anything specific in an aosp build that you want?
the Z has one of the most closest none GPE roms around as it is..
as others have said why not just debloat or install a debloated rom?

I've mentioned this before but it never went anywhere, if Sony's AOSP kernel is signed then what stops it being put in an ftf to be flashed, and if that was possible would that not open the way to getting locked down bootloaders unlocked?

It looks to me that Sony haven't provided anything for the AOSP kernel but the sources via their AOSP website (I could be wrong, but I don't see any kernel images on their github, only sources).
In that case, anyone wanting to use it has to build it themselves, therefore it will have to be signed by whoever builds it.
So, if everything I said is correct, then it's no use for getting this running on locked bootloaders.

I think either situation is highly unlikely.
I don't think it's at all possible to "figure out" keys. If it was, the security wouldn't be very.....secure.

No I don't think it has. You never know when someone might make a mistake, but I'd agree it isn't something to hold out hope for. Kexec or similar is the best bet, otherwise no AOSP for the locked bootloaders!

so anyone doing this? or nope?
well you can always remove them yourself with titanium or a root file browser ? remember to backup rom/apps first, as there can be consequences from removing system apps.. alternately try googling for sony stock sys apps that are safe to remove
Hello guys
First, big fat disclamier:
THIS IS NOT WORKING. Please don't try this for fun, only if you're willing to put in some time to help me get this fixed.
@djolivier and @letama worked out a way to get CM10 running on Xperia S with locked bootloader, loosely based on the work @atis112 did for Xperia U.
For the past couple of days I've been trying to port it to our beloved T.
It does sort of boot but there is nothing on screen. Logcat is working however and so is adb shell (though no su) so we have some way of debugging.
At the moment there is a working recovery (CWM 6.0.4.6 for locked BL by @davidmarco), enter it by pressing vol+ when the led is blue (it will turn green, then red). Here you will have an su shell and you can get dmesg and /proc/last_kmsg.
Please read the thread by djolivier to get an idea of how it works. In the last couple of pages you will find everything I have tried so far and some insightful answers from letama.
So the main thing now is to hunt down which are the libs/drivers we need.
I will try to get some more info into this thread asap but first I wanted to get it up so those of you who think they can help can get going.

This includes the .489 stock kernel, which is probably the best for compatibility.

I think someone starting this off is a great idea, when i have some free time i'll try to offer you some help mate.
But need to get up to speed with it all from djolivier's thread before anything else. But i'm happy to offer some help when i can, if that be testing, or general de-bugging.
This is awesome.keep up Timn8r

How about asking letama for help? He was the one getting this to work on Xperia S..
By the way, really appreciate you doing this.. Was already waiting for someone to try this on our devices!
When it boots up I will try to flash the 30p to 25i patch and see if it works!

Letama already helped me a lot over in the other thread, getting it up to this point. But now we need to find some very device specific stuff, that's best left to the people who actually have the device to test and debug. My time is limited this week and I don't have a need for this since mine is unlocked, it's just for the sport, so I figured, let's get some other people in on the action

now im not too sure of this so i maybe completely wrong so please correct me if i am but im sure i read somewhere that the CM kernel drivers and STOCK kernel drivers differ in some way or another ..... again i repeat im not certain on this but if this is the case then certain things in the rom may need redirecting to the STOCK drivers rather than CM drivers as they done exist? ..... if i am right i wouldn't have a clue where to start to be honest but obviously you cant change the drivers in the kernel because then it wouldn't work on LB ..... perhaps ask rimmer for some help or advice as he ported MIUI to stock?

Yes that's just about right. We cannot change the drivers in the kernel but what we can do, and what I've been trying to do, is trying to match the drivers in the rom with the kernel, i.e. swapping out CM drivers for drivers from the stock .489 firmware. But there are quite a lot, that's why we need more people trying, testing, debugging. We could go another way, namely build new CM from source to match the kernel but that's beyond me I'm afraid.
letama said:
There is no easy way to solve that I'm afraid. You can try to play with dlls (check this for a list), but it has big chances to fail. The proper way to do that is to get fxp repo, patch hal to match stock kernel and recompile cm.

If @Rimmer1966 wants to help he is welcome of course.

i know less than you and stuck on windows 8.1 which makes it even harder for me to do anything to help .... i hope that this can get up and running ..... providing you can get screen and touch working its more than enough proof of concept of what can be achieved and if enough different devices get going this way then maybe just maybe teams like CM will revert back from thier custom kernel (which i dont like) and start using stock kernels in builds (we can all dream right?)
Any updates on this? I can help as a beta tester or help with building on my pc.

Not much going on on my end. I've been running on the leaked stock 4.3 for the last few days. I did have a little go on using the kernel from that rom to boot CM10.2 but I've not made much progress, seems that SELinux is throwing a spanner in the works.
If anyone wants to have a go, here's what you can do. Get the stock .489 here.
We should try swapping out .so in /system/lib/hw one at a time. You can do this by booting to CWM, mount /system and adb push, chmod 0644 the file and reboot. Get a logcat, reboot to CWM and get dmesg and last_kmsg
Code:
adb logcat > logcat
adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > last_kmsg
adb shell dmesg > dmesg
Lather, rinse, repeat. It is a slow and tedious process, so the more the merrier

I replaced hwcomposer.msm8960.so, that seems yo have fixed it. Also tried a couple of others that didn't work: gralloc.msm8960.so (can't start), copybit.msm8960.so (brought back the camera probs). Still no screen.
Most prominent spam now is
Code:
smd_pkt_open: DATA5_CNTL open failed -19
I also noticed this in logcat
Code:
I/clearpad_fwloader( 681): hanlde_arg: option = [default]
I/clearpad_fwloader( 681): hanlde_arg: saved.module_id = [0x32]
E/clearpad_fwloader( 681): read_sysfs: Unable to open /sys/devices/virtual/input/mice/name
E/clearpad_fwloader( 681): read_sysfs: Unable to open fwfamily
That is the touchscreen. There is indeed no /sys/devices/virtual/input/mice/name. I'm not sure if it is related to the no video issue but it's a problem nonetheless.

Seems a bit of a dead end. Our stock kernel just seems to be to different from the stock kernel.
No-one else seems to want to pitch in and try some stuff out.
Might have another go with 4.3 when the official Sony's finally out.
it might be a stupid idea but why dont we swap out every .so file from the miui rom witch works with the stock kernel?
like i mentioned before
Why don't we try to do what they did with the moto defy/bravo and run a 2nd init. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...9ICIDA&usg=AFQjCNHMzrlHTlHC4EjfkhTkZxavJbEJow

If you had read the other thread, you would have known that I've already tried a lot of .so's from stock firmware but nog all of them work. This is the hard part, finding the ones that work.

Well the first part, the hijacking, is exactly what does mod is doing. With regards to the 2nd-init program, I'm not sure that init itself is the problem. The "only" problem we have is finding drivers/libs that are compatible with both CM and stock kernel. But I could be off though. If someone wants to build us a 2nd-init go right ahead
Wow just came back to the T forums to see how things were going and I see this! Hopefully Tim can port it I'm sure he can
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk
I honestly don't think 2nd init would make a big difference, as TiMiN8R has already stated, the problems are the drivers. You can now either ask FXP to use drivers from the Sony 4.3 Stock kernel or do it yourself...
Good luck on this, you'll surely make it.

got the source codes?
I'm thinking about doing the same with Z1, wouldn't mind take a look at your work
If you asked me: here are the sources.
