[Completed] Help porting 4.2+ Features to 4.1

Hello XDA Assist, can anyone help me porting some 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 features to 4.1.2? Not sure on what features I want to have yet but at first I want the part of the System showing permissions to be the same with the 4.2 and the APK installer and uninstaller to be 4.2.

Hi,
Can you tell us more, please.
Because I can suppose it's for porting a rom but for which device ?

I wanted to make my device containing MT6577 to get some features that LeWa OS has that is from 4.2, but a minutes ago I cancelled it because it might take long. Sorry for any rules I broke if I had. But I do have something else to ask, how can I make the Stock Camera of 4.1.2 get the exact mp of my device for the picture size?
My device uses 12 MP, but the stock camera of a ported rom uses 8.0 MP max. The rom for my device is 4.1.1 but the ported one is 4.1.2. Think you can help me sir? If you can't, can you maybe close this request for me.(still beginner)

The only suggest about your problem is to send your request here =>General discussion > Questions and Answers
Good luck

Can I upgrade Alcatel Hero 2 to Lollipop?

I'm a complete newbie in the Android world (iPhone user), so I'm so sorry in advance if I'm asking a stupid question. So today I bought an Alcatel Hero 2 from Amazon. The device hasn't arrived yet. The device has Android Kitkat on it and from some youtube review videos I knew that the customized Android version installed on the device is chubby so I thought if I can upgrade to vanilla Lollipop then the performance will improve.
There is very little information on the web about the Hero 2. I only found a webpage (can't post a link here because I'm new but google for "upgrade alcatel hero 2 lollipop" and you'll find it) that says one can upgrade to Lollipop, but it seems to be SCAM. Thus I thought it's better to ask here to get trusted answers since I don't want to get into security problems.
I know what ROMs are and have a little background but I don't know where to get trusted ROMs or if it's possible at all to upgrade my phone. I appreciate any answers.
Many thanks in advance!

Probably not, unless Alcatel comes out with its own Lollipop update or more threads appear here for Hero 2 ROMs.
The Hero 2 isn't very popular, or at least well-known, in the US. I'm surprised you even found it for purchase. Was it on the US Amazon site or a foreign version? Got a link? I was interested in a Hero 2, too, but I could never find it, and now it's getting a little long in the tooth.
Sorry this isn't the answer you wanted. Is it an all right phone overall, though? Reviews were generally favorable.

I don't think there is Lollipop rom for your device.

Hi guys,
any news about lollipop update? Im choosing between Hero 2 and LG G3, but Hero 2 is cheaper for me and it has little bit bigger screen. Any advices please?

Hi there, I managed to port a RR rom (7.1.2) for this device. If you still want to try it out let me know, I would make a thread but sadly I can't

Please, if it is not too much trouble, you can update the link

actually I need this rom.
My Hero 8 D820X is bricked (tried to factory reset and sth gone wrong) system crushed, i need to flash anything but can find nothing.
Hero 2 has same CPU, so hopefully it would work

This is weird, I looked all over and cannot find any links for original flashing files, not even 4PDA.
But, the rom I ported has no sound (unless you wear headphones), and camera is not working. This was basically just an experiment on trying to port it for first time, but sadly I do not have the device anymore so I won't be able to help much. If you still want to try it, here's the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/resurrection-remix-5-8-5-alcatel-t3913051
Meanwhile I'll try to keep looking for the original stock ROM for your device, there has to be something.
I'll let you know if I find anything.

[Completed] ROM Manager causing soft brick

Before I continue to the point of this thread, I just wanna say hello, and as this is my first post on XDA, I'm sorry if I miss any important information. If you want to help me, just ask and I'll tell you as quick as possible. Now to the problem.
My Matrix Smartphone D4090(apparently a chinese ripoff off HTC) with Jelly Bean on it, rooted by Kingo, broke down when I used the ROM Manager to change the boot animation. By broke down, I mean it got soft bricked. All I can do is turn it on(which leads me to nowhere), use the chinese recovery or the "No command!" recovery. I tried factory resetting on both ways multiple times, but nothing happened. As I don't have a backup, I'm pretty much f*cked when it comes to the stock ROM. So, can I install an official ROM(CyanogenMod, Paranoid, doesn't matter) meant for HTC on my ripoff? And, if I can, can I get information on which HTC is most similar to my phone? And if I can't, can someone instruct me on how to solve the bootloop?
Phone specs(as much as I remember, it got removed from the shop, so information may lack):
512MB RAM
1GB ROM
1.0 GHz Dual Core
Jelly Bean Android
Camera 2/0.3 MP
Apps installed before the bootloop(again, information may lack because my memory isn't great):
Xposed Framework
MyDogs
ROM Manager(Clockwork&the one with the golden wing on the icon)
Facebook Lite
APUS Booster
Kingo SuperUser
Titanium Backup
Skype
Don't remember anything more before the problem, sorry. I'll edit if I remember more.
So, to summarize the question:
Can I install an official ROM(CyanogenMod, Paranoid, doesn't matter) meant for HTC on my ripoff? And, if I can, can I get information on which HTC is most similar to my phone? And if I can't, can someone instruct me on how to solve the bootloop/soft brick?
Thanks for reading this post if you did, and it'd be VERY appreciated if you could offer useful information on these questions. Again, thanks.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
I'm sorry to hear about your trouble. If your phone has a removable battery, you could try to disconnect that battery for a short while then put it back, as that procedure sometimes helps "reset" a misbehaving device, but there's no promises. There is no forum specifically for the Matrix Smartphone D4090 but you may want to ask your question with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help. That's a good place to start where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you. Since your device is not widely used, please be patient and give the experts plenty of time to respond.
Good luck!

Thank you for your reply. I'll ask around to get some extra information. I put the battery in and out multiple times when I noticed it won't boot up.
