Lol I know right, I used to have one but I gave it to my mom. The F6 was a nice phone but LG ruin it when they claim they would release kitkat for it and never did. Im glad DM is on board, he made a pretty decent rom despite the F6 limitations with Jellybean. He works pretty fast couldn't have gotten a better dev. I'm super excited!

Well more devs is always better as long as everyone gets along B)

 

[nextcode4u]

The lg 3g has official cm12 nigtlies once there's some deving on the g4 I might upgrade

SamsungMSM8226RIL.java is a no go for the avant. It doesnt allow to answer calls. Check out my device tree for the afyonlteRIL.java i copied it from if im not from a jflte or a hlte device.

Alrght.. You can hit me up on group me you like.. We can tag team this hoe lol.
I see a lot of things that need to be done. And right now iam just consolidating trees and things.. To me it's more clean that way and easier to trace out problems if you aren't inheriting from 3 trees lol. Vendor blobs are missing a lot. Ramdisk was missing a lot. But it's all good. You have a good start on things. I / we can keep plugging away at it

 

[Masterchief87]

I also had the f6 from there i went to the fierce 2 then the avant

Same here I ended up selling the fierce 2 for dirt cheap because of slow Internet and no root.

 

[Dm47021]

Check your 2nd to last commit u replace vendor with device too many times

device/samsung/afyonltetmo/proprietary/device/lib/libfastcvopt.so:system/device/lib/libfastcvopt.so
Should be:
device/samsung/afyonltetmo/proprietary/vendor/lib/libfastcvopt.so:system/vendor/lib/libfastcvopt.so

Oops lol

So, is there any sort of official local manifest xml one can use to begin assisting with this? I've got some coding experience in a few languages, but none on the android build system.

Same kernel for the avant stock unmodified its complete with all the camera, display drivers ,etc.

Thanks I think I've created a mess instead of trying to make it buildable about to just abandon this.

 

[papadog]

Any updates on how things are coming along.

 

[Blu8]

Just wanted to thank everyone that has had a part in this ROM, keep up the great work. I am ready and willing to flash whatever you guys throw up on here!

 

[DiaperJeNi3]

Cool, looks like the current image doesn't have the bug I'm experiencing with scribd that the stock image does. Makes me even more excited for the next release.

 

[Derick3683]

Has there been any working ROM posted, new to the thread, anything that will boot I'm willing to flash.

There's a pretty decent build on page 25, post number 617. Biggest bugs in that one are:
-H/W decoding being broken so Youtube or any video most likely will cause a force close of the app or a soft reboot
- Camera doesn't work either, or rather still photos don't. Video recording is fine but not photos
- and I believe someone said the proximity sensor wasn't functioning correctly either

 

[vekenti]

when a new version comes out, will I have to reinstall all my apps and settings and stuff again? or can I flash over the old version?
