CM12.1 Alpha Progress...

Progress!
I replaced the touchscreen lines in the defconfig file and added the new dts folder from the stock package.
I then rebuilt the kernel/boot image only (Sorry, no time!)...

...and it booted with a working touchscreen on the first try!

I haven't had a chance to compile a complete package (so no adb on boot for now ), but I'm including a link to the new (+bumped) boot image.

All I did was:

1. Boot into recovery
2. Install CM12.1 from the original package
3. Installed a new boot image from my newly compiled boot.img

And CM booted with no (visible) issues.

** Please let me know what bugs / errors exist - I have to log off for the night already but I'm sure the camera isn't working yet (I either have to update the vendor tree or change some more kernel stuff.)

Thanks @jacob019 for all your suggestions!

Here is the new boot image:

EDIT: It took FOREVER to initially start up, but once it did, it worked.

CM12.1 Alpha Progress...

Don't know if this has been done before, but I decided to use @vm03 's sources for the LG L70 (https://github.com/vm03) to build the latest CM12.1 for the L70. I then Bumped the boot image for our locked bootloader and removed lines for the L70 (w5) from the updater-script in the resulting zip file...

And CM booted!

The problem is, our touchscreen is different from the L70.
There is no way to maneuver past the first screen due to the touchscreen not working.
I am ready to rebuild, but I must admit that I have no idea where to begin to fix this. Is it a kernel issue? Vendor sources?

If anyone has any suggestions, I would be more than happy to try them out (time permitting, of course )

If you want to try your hand at modifying the existing zip, here is a link to the modified version:

UPDATE (11/15/2015):
Link to updated CM12.1 package (included bumped boot.img):

As always, flash at your own risk!
Take a nandroid backup before flashing (you're gonna need it ;-)

*This ROM is very unusable at the moment, as there is no touchscreen. You will not have a working device if you flash without knowing what you are doing.

*This ROM is still unstable, but not nearly as unstable as before!
