[Q] Xiaomi MI-2s // Jiayu G4s Port

Hey everyone, I am very new to porting ROMs and this is my very first attempt at it. I am trying to port Cyanogenmod 11 (4.4.2) from a Xiaomi MI-2s to a Jiayu G4s. I've been reading as much as I can from different sources and from what I've understood. When porting a ROM, you mainly just need both ROMs to be the same CPU type (In this case: ARMv7). But other sources and information around suggest that doing such a port isn't that simple at all?
- Xiaomi MI-2s
CPU: Quad-core 1.7 GHz Krait 300
- Jiayu G4s
CPU: Octa-core 1.7 GHz MTK6592
Could someone please explain, because I am starting to believe that my little project is impossible..
Can I port the Xiaomi MI-2s ROM to a Jiayu G4s?

I would start by using a source phone that already has MIUI support and the same MT6592 System on Chip.There is already at least one MIUI ROM for the G4S in the forums at this link http://www.592zn.com/. Use Google Translate to read the forum if needed - I certainly had to.

[Q] HTC Desire 620G rom?

Anyone can help me and this poor boring device? A lollipop style rom? A Cyanogenmod unofficial port?
Phone specification:
OS Android OS, v4.4.2 (KitKat)

CPU Octa-core 1.7 GHz Cortex-A7
GPU Mali-450MP4

Post your device information below to help porting roms

Hi all,
I am requesting every user to post their device information given below to help rom porting from different devices. As this will become a list and will help porters to see device information from here.
The following information should be posted.
1. Your device name.
2. Android version
3. Kernel version (this is most important)
4. GPU ( which GPU it has such as Mali 400, Mali 450, etc).
5. CPU (which CPU it has such as MT6572, Snaapdragon 650 etc).
You can get this info by installing CPU-Z or AIDA64 from playstore
Thats all whats required.
As what i know is to port a rom from a device to other device you need to know 3 things.
There are good chances port will be a success
1. It must be same chip manufacturer such as MediaTek you can port mt6572 to mt6580, mt6582 to mt6580 etc.
2. It must have same kernel version although android version can be different.
3. Its Gpu must be same.
So i hope everyone is going to post their device info here so it can help porters to find the right devices for porting.

Starting myself
My device is Qmobile X35

Building Android for new device (Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite)

I am not sure that is the right section - so fix me if I am wrong.
I am looking for a bit help to build images for a new device, and
as specified in the subject it is: Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite
The device is using this spec:
Code:
PLATFORM
OS Android 7.0 (Nougat)
Chipset Qualcomm MSM8940 Snapdragon 435
CPU Octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53
GPU Adreno 505
I guess I have to use some special build platform or VM emulator to build
for this particular CPU / chipset, so any good pro advice will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

There is a discussion going on in this thread:

Can a armv8-a rom be flashed on a capable phone?

Hi,
I have an LG K41S, the stock rom is running armv7 which is 32bit. I am already searching possibilities to root the phone or just flash another rom to it but I would like to know...
since my phone is running an mt6765 SoC, or Helio P35, which is capable of armv8-a according to Mediatek and my research on the Cortex cores used in this SoC, would it be possible to flash a rom with 64bit armv8-a?
Thanks in advance!
