Root {MS323} Cyanogenmod Development thread.

I'm building cm11 from chevans source for you guys. I'm not able to test the majors (Camera etc) because I dropped my phone in a glass of soda, but I can boot to see if it at least does that. I'll upload when it finishes for you guys to play with.
Hey felix are you also doing a build for 321? plus let me know where I can get a working custom recovery. I can't afford to brick my phone again.

Welp, built the newest source, it has issues.
1) WiFi is broken.
2) random reboots
3) more blue screens than before :(
I can also build if and or when changes are made. Finally got everything working perfectly. Let me know if you need someone to build when changes are made and if you're away. Sad to see that those are issues... The biggest, for me at lease, being the blue screens and the random reboots. I'd like to ask how frequent, but I'm building myself and will figure that out soon enough. Lol. I can help add to the bug list and see if I can't just help edit. Did you make changes to display-caf at all? (just wondering if you changed the boardconfig file at all. c:)

I didn't change board config at all, didn't touch any src nor packages. Please do build it, maybe I have a bad repo (even though I just repo sync'd just fine).

I would like to also say that when I flashed CM, I erased system and data and performed a factory reset all in CWM. Also erased boot in cwm.

Another bug: menu is still acting like a back/home key.

Alright. I may have a fix, Chevan told me to change something in boardconfig and said without the change WiFi+bluetooth+calling wouldn't work... So we'll see if tar works. I'm glad you told me about that. I personally format the disks before flashing and reset everything afterward but my gps always seems to break... So if I flash it and some things don't work after trying formatting, I'll be sure to install chevan's stock rom, then go forth and install the CM12 without formatting (we think that the /system folder may have more things in the stock rom that work and that it carries over, seeing as how chevans phone works better than mine and he didn't format.)

EDIT: I also wouldn't worry about buttons, that'll be an easy fix. Especially if we get root in Lolli (which IS possible, idc who you say you are lol. Hard but possible)

L70 stock has a Lolli update??????
Sadly no, I was just talking about when Chevan was working on GPS fix (which STILL doesn't work for me), his worked and mine didn't and the thought behind that is that when he flashed the CM rom after the stock one, some of the libs from stock may have transfered over to CM, meanwhile mine didn't have those libs because I formatted (instead of factory reset) before flashing CM
And change what in boardconfig?
Changing the build kernel version from mpcs to global. I can find the line it's self but I'm away from my computer (building currently) for a little. Sorry, I will share this, I don't like being the person that doesn't share what they know. [emoji14]

So dirty flashing leaves behind libs? I could never get the softkeys to work properly (source implemented the fix) and when I did the fix manually it still didnt work. Hmm.. isn't there way to compare files between zips?

Code:
TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG := w5_mpcs_us_defconfig
Is this the line you were talking about?

Ah, yea. Ik what you're talking about.
Chevan had me do that too.
But last time I did that, I still got random reboots from a clean flash.

This is a running theory. I could be wrong and it could be already debunked but I figure I'd share. Sure you can compare, but you'd have to scan and compare every little change, and considering not only did you go from LG to CM, but 4.4.2 --> 4.4.4, there are bound to be a lot of differences.
