That's not what I'm talking about I'm not talking about major phones or Nexus devices etc.. I will never buy a higher end or top of the line phone again

---------- Post added at 02:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 AM ----------

My hope is that they will at least add or improve features such as low volume in the future so I wouldn't really personally even need to root anything other than bloatware which as long as they keep adoptable storage going out don't even need to worry about that.

Xposed I could care less about really
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] notreal456789:
Well to me root means a secure phone, and id never go without xposed or lucky patcher, or a root firewall like afwall, oww or gltools for gaming, and viper4android my number 1 reason 2 root
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] goitalone:
Most important is Viper4Android yes
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] notreal456789:
So I think I have done all I can with this phone in gaming terms, anyone know of a overclock kernel for this phone on stock rom?
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] NoahTyler21:
How do I unlock the bootloader?
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] goitalone:
Install adb/fastboot on PC.

Go into developer options and turn on oem unlock and usb debugging and then use adb reboot bootloader command or acquire root and use Quick Boot app to reboot into bootloader then type: fastboot oem unlock

Will not work on Tribute 5 Model

Keep in mind that this is built for the Russian, MediaTek, and Dual-Sim version of the LG K7.

If you have the LTE, MSM8909 chipset, and MetroPCS/Boost version, IT WILL NOT WORK.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] 4PDAUser:
Oops .. I wrote this post for x210ds. Does the American version of the smartphone with MTK chipset?
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] TheOddTaco:
the LTE version has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 Chipset. (MSM8909)
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] QuickNET Tech:
Man... I was excited af for a minute... :(

I just want 6.0 with adoptable storage. I am constantly juggling apps because of a lack of storage.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] TheOddTaco:
rn im on the ZTE ZMAX PRO, which is a pretty decent phone im fine with it rn, but it's actually pretty locked out lol. u cant even access fastboot, bootloader, and no root access. lots of devs over here but ZTE/MetroPCS preventing us to root our phone.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] QuickNET Tech:
Yeah, I was interested in the phone, but saw it was super locked down like the original ZTE ZMAX from a few years ago, and immediately lost interest.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] SageTheMage99:
Any luck porting CM13MM???

So how is it going so far? There is a custom recovery for LGK7 and so i was wondering if there will be any custom rom for the K7.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] J3RI3L:
Thank you Yakutsk, if you can port this for the MetroPCS variant you will be a hero for many people!

Any news in regards to a custom rom?
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] 21-Savage:
I don't officially own the phone yet so I haven't tested it. But it seems like it's the only ROM for this phone.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] TheOddTaco:
It's a scam, the download link leads you to answer never-ending surveys.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] josh2020glacier:
If you can download it just let me know I'll test it not a prob. I have a couple lg k7 one of them I don't use anymore cause no cm ROMs or any I should say lol

I move on to Asus zenfone 2 (Z00TD) just because of no ROMs for k7. Think k7 is a nice phone for its price too.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] TheOddTaco:
You probably can't download anything since it's one of those site that you to have answer a endless loop of survey to get a "link." Plus the comments are fake/bots.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] oasisfleeting:
Unlocking the bootloader is just a matter of typing "fastboot oem unlock". It literally doesn't get any easier.

[LG K7 Questions & Answers] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
I sold my phone. I was tired of all the complaining. Before getting this phone I never knew about building recoveries but I am a pro now. I have 3 Twrps for the k7 ,surnia and the ms345

Reading is the key. [MENTION=353096]Goat[/MENTION]italone you have been so helpful in these forums. You should be a recognized contributor. I had to get rid of the phone. Twrp team never got back to me even after I follow procedure. So I am finished. But if anyone wants to take over I'm all for it. I have a test twrp because I may have figured out the problem [MENTION=7390534]TheOddTaco[/MENTION] was having. The K7 is a soc.0 device (system on chip) but the paths are not set right. The K7 is a /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/system so I hope this helps anyone. Czar
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] TheOddTaco:

u stuck at the LG Logo when flashed?

cuz thats the issue im havin for a long time.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] TheOddTaco:
really? i still have the old files on google drive ill changed the extract-files.sh on github.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] Bughora:
Thanks, that would help me out a lot. So stressful trying to make sense of all this. Pleas let me know if you can help me make sense of this:

Is the output from "make recoveryimage"
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] TheOddTaco:
on your BoardConfig.mk, change your BOARD_BOOTIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE to 25165824

i updated the extract-files.sh and setup files.sh on github
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] Bughora:
Thank you very much, I will look into it now although I have to head to work in a little bit. Thanks for everything!

I'll try that file size in a sec, it build when I commented out those lines.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
. build/envsetup.sh

lunch (input #)

make -j4 recoveryimage
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] Bughora:
Unfortunately that didn't work. I commented the lines out like so:

# fix this up by examining /proc/mtd on a running device
# BOARD_BOOTIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x00380000
# BOARD_RECOVERYIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x00480000
# BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x08c60000
# BOARD_USERDATAIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x105c0000
# BOARD_FLASH_BLOCK_SIZE := 131072

and it made an image but it doesn't boot.

I try running "cm_m1-userdebug" and it will start running but toward the end I get this:

[LG K7 Questions & Answers] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
Cyanogen mod won't work for recovery. Omni Rom does. You have to contact Philz recovery dev to get that going.TWRP USES PHILZ EARLIER CODE TO MAKE TWRP
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] TheOddTaco:
Heres the results i got via the device tree i have on my github. (TESTED 1-3 weeks ago.)

CM12.1: (Compiling recovery Image)

It takes a while to boot up to recovery and touchscreen does not work. (If you're using the CM Recovery Source u can use the volume buttons.)

CM 13.0: (Compiling recovery image)

LG Logo bootloop.

rn i'm trying to compile the whole rom in CM13 with that current device tree. For some reason it still goes to the hardware CAF variants specifically msm8916 but if i delete msm8916 and move msm8909, it goes for msm8909.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] TheOddTaco:
never had this error. do u have your device tree in github?
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] Bughora:
I did a fresh repo sync and I will upload my device tree when I get home. It's worth mentioning that that I used some LG source files found here: http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=K330

im using the MetroPCS variant. (MS330)

ik. lol.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] pikagunmike2:
Can I get a general idea on how close we are to getting the rom working?
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
You have to make a new kernel defconfig so it can build a msm8916 kernel. Cm uses 8916 don't know the exact reason but that is what I have been seeing.

What is github for anyways? Is It like media fire or like xda?
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] Bughora:
"GitHub is a code hosting platform for version control and collaboration."

[LG K7 Questions & Answers] pikagunmike2:
Thnx
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] Bughora:
GitHub seems to be down, which is pretty odd.

Anyway, after some debugging I fixed a bunch of error but I'm still stuck on this erro:

android/vendor/lge/external/webkit/htmlwebkit/Source/ThirdParty/v8/src/arm/assembler-arm-inl.h:287:12: error: cast from pointer to smaller type 'int32_t' (aka 'int') loses information
imm32_ = reinterpret_cast<int32_t>(f.address());
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and I tried changing

imm32_ = reinterpret_cast<int32_t>(f.address());

to

imm32_ = reinterpret_cast<int32_t*>(f.address());

and

imm32_ = reinterpret_cast<int>(f.address());

with no luck.

I also see this but I don't think that this is stopping the build:

Yes but it is a long process and you really have to know what you are doing. I thought the defconfiguration was going to take forever lol ?
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] TheOddTaco:
use the LGMS330's kernel source or the actual msm8916 kernel source?
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
I am sure that you need to compile the actual kernel or make modifications to the existing kernel for it to be compatible with the Rom source but all the phones I have had are compile msm8916.

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

Look at the source code for all the phones on Cyanogen mod and slim. They will provide you with the information you need. I can't really explain as before Android I didn't know what c++ was. It's just as you read this article and that article about setting up a build environment. You start to understand as you watch the build compile. Start with a phone that has active development. Then look at the source code for the LG Leon LTE and you will get it. The K7 kernel I last compile is Correct because it's the same way. It's a soc.0 device but when you flashed cm 12 it says dev. Block. By- name no soc.0 so just use the ms345 (Leon) as a guide. I am going through unspeakable tragedies at the moment so compiling for a phone is not in the future at for a few months.

I made New images. Check out my thread. Also made a test image for the LG K7 as330 aka m1 also so I hope I can have testers respond to me. If not I'll just concentrate on Metro.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] pikagunmike2:
Are you talking about recover or rom!
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
Recovery but once that is straightened out ROM building will be no problem. I made a recovery before for the AS330 but I named it as330 instead of m1 so I use 2 different folder sources Omni for as330 and Omni5.1 for Ms330.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
I don't have the phone anymore but I just redid my build environment to Ubuntu 16.04 so these are the first images from a fresh updated build environment. ??
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] pikagunmike2:
Is that like an emulator?
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
No it's an operating system like Windows and Mac but you need it to build Android. You can build on a Mac too but Linux is recommended. 16.04 LTS is the latest stable release from Ubuntu.

It's being worked on but I think they need assistance. The lg Leon is the Best model to work off but I don't have a stable Internet connection. I switch from xubuntu to Ubuntu and i can't get the tethering app to work right on it. I don't want to switch again to get it working so I am going to try a different way so I can help. Looking over the BoardConfigs.mk and it's all over the place. So I will let you know. Also I am on the Twrp Development trying to get the recovery supported.

I didnt get the ZTE Maxx Pro because the development was crawling so I got the on5 because it seems that all Samsung phones once rooted get development. lmao I'm lazy dont really like racking my brains on Android because once I start I cant stop I have OCD which sucks.

Haha samsung is gay in my opinion cuz I like lgs style with the back buttons

[LG K7 Questions & Answers] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
But on another note. I downloaded Omni 6.0 finally. I am going to run it tomorrow to test it out than start to work on the device tree for building a Rom.

[LG K7 Questions & Answers] culot:
I think I've got the basic device tree setup working. I'll post up the repos tomorrow. Still haven't even tried to boot recovery yet, so it's all just organization and initilizing so far.

I really don't see why CM13 should be difficult to build for this device. I really don't wnat to be the one who tweaks it, but I think I can kickstart it.
