Root [MetroPCS] carbon rom repair project

Since some of the pixels are white which means they are being written correctly. Leaves my byte mis addressing theory defunct. My next theory has me considering the camera hardware I guess comparing the two kernel sources would help... One for 12b with working ov cam and the molded kit kat one. It may simply be an off settled defaulting camera hue variable. Has anyone tried to locate this variable in source?possibly a bad camera image filter codec?

i have a commit on github showing all the differences https://github.com/Dm47021/LGE_Kernel_F6mt/commit/f18b7e0dcf1b6a35fc6c575ee779f82e559881d6

that video showed me how to make it stop complaining about insufficiant space without using a hacked version of Google Play.........

CORRECTION...it allowed me to install 6 small and large apps from my SD that would'nt get the time of day before i did the hack......

BUT, it will not stop Google Play from saying insufficiant space.....

that's next on the list ...because i believe that right after that video ended ....the next one that started playing automatically was explaining how to get Google to Stop being a cramper.....i'll be yapping about that next .....

CARBON ROM REPAIR PROJECT

an interesting point was brought up in the thread so it has been re-directed to fixing the issues with carbon rom kk 4.4.4 by Dm. Bugs may be found in the source code that cause a memory hole on device system object fail. (black screen of death). See below...

Need ideas on fixing settings force closes. Vibration intensity screen and About screen. NFC and Bluetooth needs fixing. If any kernel crashes report here. Kernel may need repairs.

LOLLIPOP FOR LG OPTIMUS F6

has anyone proposed this idea? It requires the bootloader to be unlocked. If I get ahold of the image I can do it. I'm learning snapdragon assembly language.

This is a great phone. I could probably build from CM lollipop source with a proper device tree and a compatability layer for jelly bean device drivers and system objects. I have been messing with Java a lot. No more green kit kat cams. Lol . just so you know if I can dev a proper compatability layer this will solve the issue of missing drivers for new versions of Android

If you want to help or can provide knowledge inbox me please. I want to do this.

Also looking for devs for my group Quad Core . Need resumes for an application. What you can do and your experience and a personal message. Wanna be recognized for doing something awesome for the Android community? Inbox me.

Hey man. I'm pretty sure all the devs already gave up on this phone. I love this phone too but i guess because this phone was already so buggy with kit kat alone. If you can get a high cm version on this phone then hats off to you and I'd gladly support this movement, but at this moment i doubt a lollipop a will be made for this phone. I've been waited so long for something to get updated for this phone
