Root ROMs and further development

[jokerpks]

Once again I would like to thank Shabbypenguin for getting us recovery on this phone as well as Sepero, Spec2Nirvash, and bzo22. I would also like to ask, are there any individuals that own this phone and are experienced and capable of developing or porting a rom??? Whether it's cynogenmod or anything else...
If not we would have to all contribute and put are heads together to make sense of where to start. I found a guide how to port Cynogenmod to a unsupported device from what I found out so far is that we can use a rom supporting a device with same CPU and display and modify it to make it compatible with our device, but first gather as much information about our device as possible...

just bought thi phone half an hour ago, and im aready rooted with recovery (thanks to the crew reponsible). when i get home from work, ill dust off my linux machine and look into the device fuurther.
sorry if i havent read everything here yet, but anyone know what limitations this device has and whats keeping anyone from porting cm or any other aosp rom to ths phone?
anyone have any git trees going for it either? vendor/device profiles?

Well we just got recovery yesterday, I think. So people are probably just starting looking into porting things.

CWM

 

[Shabbypenguin]

its oudhs recovery

its cwm based though

 

[oOoReesEoOo]

Was playing around with this phone and made a mistake. Is it possible for someone to upload a factory recovery zip file.

 

[boneface]

anyone wanna test a rom for me?

 

[oOoReesEoOo]

I will test it boneface.

 

[DjSekret]

Im open for testing also

 

[jtintle]

I'll test, if you still need people

 

[LoopyD]

Aww heck why not this could be a good learning experience. I'll test but I will need some instruction.

 

[king_rono]

I'll do it too.

 

[boneface]

uploading now.

 

[killericarus]

damn where did you get the device profiles? i was about to go see what huawei had hidden on their site since they now have bootloader unlocking. and give me a link for the rom please.

 

[jokerpks]

Can you please give me the link? And what rom is it?

Have you thought about trying Cyanogenmod's compiler? Look into that and see if it gets us any closer to Jellybean

 

[boneface]

next step to getting us cm9 is getting the proprietary files for our phone.
i need the device and vendor profiles.

that only works for prebuilt devices I believe.. it's basically for the people who own a device with cm already ported, and they can build they're own because the compiler knows what needs to be donr per device

not 100% sure if that's true.. but from what I read it sounds like that's what you get..

as for porting CM, im down to help bro just let me know what you need.. I haven't even looked at our system yet so once I pull it ill take a look for the proprietary files

 

[boneface]

found a good candidate for proprietary files and such..
Huawei MediaPad - Full phone specifications
theres already cm10 and jb updates for this.
the more and more i learn about this phone and huawei..the more impressed i am.

I'll admit I made a cracking about jap crap but, Huawei makes their own specialized soc's and it seems their products are in direct competition with Sgs or Asus.
They have modified ics and jb to be better for a following that knows these phones are able to be pushed a lot further than the average user knows. And giving us certain advantages like bootloader unlocking, they know what we do and what we want. I am surprised that most manufacturers do not follow along

My tablet has an Allwinner A10 CPU, and that poor thing can actually run Cm10. Even though the latest Allwinner quad core CPU has some bugs, for the price is hard to ignore either Allwinner or Rockchip

 

[l1v34h1m]

So are there any semi working ROMs for cm yet?

 

[boneface]

mediapad was a bust. couldnt get anything to boot.
however, the newest device im looking at is the ascend p1 lte. not to be confused with the regular p1.
p1 lte has exact same chipset, gpu, and as far as i can see exact ssame boot.img right down to the exact same mount points.
the kernel and firmware is also available on huawei device site, which i have just finished downloading.
i need more redbull.
