READ EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU CONTINUE ANY FURTHER!!!! DEV INFO IS IN 2ND POST

NEWS:
11th build uploaded. Pretty much everything is working except for DT2W and stock camera app video recording. IR Blaster probably works if someone wants to find the right quickremote aosp package to install.

CHANGELOG:
120814: synced with cm11 sources, sdcard and external_SD fixed, menu button fixed, other stuff I'm surely forgetting.
121214: radio functions semi fixed, calling works but no audio, sms/mms work with 3rd party app, data seems to work when it wants to.
121314-123114: a lot of failed builds and little progress.
1/1/15: camera and sensors fixed mostly
1/5/15: repo sync as of 1/5/15, no new news on fixing stuff
1/7/15: repo sync as of 1/7/15, fixed torch and art, got rid of roaming indicator on on notification shade
1/10/15: repo sync as of 1/9/15, fixed compass, backlight adjustment and button lights, did more on data, read notes above. Youtube and gallery videos working.
1/10/15: repo sync as of 1/10/15, fixed sound thanks to Bad_MOFO_33. Youtube works fine, videos work fine in gallery. Calling worked, i could hear the other person and they could hear me, but there might be a few kinks to work out still.
1/11/15: repo sync as of 1/11/15, disabled ring led around home button for now.
1/12/15 to 4/14/15: a lot of failed builds and was working on caf. dunno if im gonna go back to caf builds, probably gonna just try to get decaf working well.
4/15/15: repo sync as of 4/14/15, nfc, home led ring, gps, other stuff.
4/18/15: repo sync as of 4/17/15, fixed sensors (rotation and compass,) backlight brightness, worked on sound, did some work in the overlay, added qcom bsp, cut a lot of cruft from the device and vendor trees
12/29/15: Boy its been a long time. New build being uploaded shortly that is still DeCAF based, but almost everything is working. Im still looking into DT2W and stock camera app video recording.

half working:

-ir blaster (should be working. i say should, cant guaruntee it. the lg g2 quickremote i installed didnt crash like before but had a problem downloading the remote layout. if you can find an app that works it should work, just lemme know if you get it working.)

not working:
-DT2W (double tap to wake, this is a tricky one. ill keep looking into it.)
probably other stuff, you tell me

what wasnt tested:
whatever was not listed above

Flash the rom, then the gapps package of your choice (kitkat gapps) and then flash either the Virgin or Boost apn fix below.

Thanks to Mopedryder for both:

https://github.com/touchpro/noncafcm11_vendor_lge_x5 (vendor tree)
https://github.com/touchpro/android_hardware_qcom_display (modified android_hardware_qcom_display for bsp build)

@whoshotjr2006 what toolchain are you using, my compile errors with cortex-a7 not recognized or something like that. Builds nearly straight through without any major errors.

Its for target_cpu_variant right? I'm on mobile and cant look right now, try changing cortex-a7 to krait and see what happens.

I always run a mka bootimage before I start my ROM build just so if I have to edit boardconfig.Mk its only a 10 minute rebuild and not a whole ROM recompile. Good luck!

Don't use this yet. Wait till a working version. Allot is not working on this rom.

Yep, more of a preview of what's to come for now.

Anyone with more time wanna try to replace libs and binaries to see if more functions work? I'm in my final week of school, and actual finals are next week, so I might not have much time to work on this for a bit.

things are gonna change in the op soon, a few of the repos i posted are not going to be needed. im working on getting it so the only needed repos are device, vendor and kernel. after that it should be replacing prebuilt libs and stuff until we get the right combo of prebuilts for our device. ill update when I get something done.

Edit: compiling pretty well so far with new changes to device tree and vendor, will have to see what works and what doesn't when its done compiling.

I have finals this week and have to help grade classes next week but after that I can help out. I have all the resources to build as well. I7's and xeons so let me know.

That sounds amazing. We could seriously use your build power. I worked on an 2nd gen i7 with 8gb ram yesterday and started drooling lol. I seriously need a better build machine. When you are ready, the sources are above. Would you be interested in maybe getting an Omni, Slimkat, PA, etc build rolling? Device tree should be easy to modify, vendor and kernel should stay the same I think.
