Android 4.2 is available for mediatek 6577.Yes i am telling the truth but the problem is no one has posted it here.
For example these mobile runs on android 4.2 and the chipset is mediatek 6577

So if anyone of you had purchased one of these devices kindly upload system folder of it + boot.img.It will be a huge help for all mediatek based devices.
Thank you.

JB 4.2 on MT6577?
Even with the rom and kernel, you will need ALOT more to work with.
And did you forget Mediatek is Closed Source?
Wish you good luck, you will need it !

First read things clearly then post.
I have not started this tread for porting JB 4.2.xx i have started this tread to collect necessary files.

I actually read it
My reply was based in, what use can u actually have for JUST **hint**hint** the base system and Kernel source code?
Being the rest Closed Source, there isn't much you can do with JUST that.
Don't take it personal, i just hate these Comp. that dont comply with the Android GPL License.

Well if we get our hands on ROMs that have the same chipset we might find a solution for the camera don't you think?
Let me help u with the source code for mtk 6577

*** THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER EFFORT TO CREATE YET ANOTHER CUSTOM ROM***
Though Android is opensource, a lot of things are unknown regarding ROM development/modification. There are many custom ROMs available for Galaxy 3 (and also other phones) and lot of people are flashing them and making their phone more responsive, productive and faster; but very few people actually knew how to go about developing the ROM.
What I intend here is to find out and document correct way to build ROM for our favorite Galaxy 3, which is very popular in India.
The goal will be to develop the ROM from Android source + Drivers from stock ROM while documenting the process so that large number of people can contribute to the development.
I will shortly update the posts with what I have done.

looking forward to what you come up with
Making one aint difficult keeping it bug free might get sometimes
Thanks rudolf895
I have experience in Android SDK and NDK development, but I am a noob when it comes to ROM development. Thats why this effort.
I have fetched android source using repo as well as I have also downloaded source for I5801 from Samsung open source website. After this I will look into extracting drivers from stock ROM and successfully compiling it for Galaxy 3.

hehe, cant wait to see what you come up with, sounds promissing btw... i am also willing to help whereever i can, whereas this wont be too much in this case i guess.
good luck and thanx...
TY ..!
Thanx alot
This would be really helpful to alot of members here
interesting ! waiting ....
I applaud your thread, I myself was thinking about such a concept.
I wanna help, but I cant do that much (basic knowledge of C and basic/little knowledge of linux and adb).
I think first there should be a list of basic stuff. Like compiling the sources, extracting factoryrfs and co from your phone etc... Sometimes if you wanna start doing something and you dont know the basics you get scared off because of their apparent tremendous lack of knowledge.
I'd probably start dabbling if somebody told me how to compile the sources.
can you also specify your work environment, toolchain and such stuff, so anyone can start from zero? there is a kernel building vm image with all tools by sztupy somewhere on the forum that is eventually of interest, and there is also an extended version containing eclipse and some more tools for full android development:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882010
hope this helps somebody...
Did you try using it? I think the scripts are specific and cant be used by us (without altercation)
no, i have absolutely no idea of kernel compilation and all that advanced stuff, but i guess it can be adapted for our use
Yup...me too in waitin line...Now i can say i dint made a mistake by buying it...

maybe you can create a ".tar" package including all those files.. .tar is flashable in odin..

I dont think there is one for that as that is not an official version of Android. Very few China based Android phones are supported by AOSP. You may have to start it yourself if you want it. The first thing you will need to do is have the OEM post the kernel source code for the device. This will be your biggest challenge. As most China OEM dont respect the GPL laws

Ok
What if there is no source of kernel? Can I use compiled kernel (3.0.13) from current firmware (4.0.3) or this is impossible?

Without kernel source your kinda out of luck. No that kernel will not work on AOSP as that 4.0.3 is not an official android version. It is a hacked together version. Your best bet would be to sell it and get something that is not a knock off.

Got to write to the OEM. Only they will be able to release the kernel source. Good luck. Dont hold on to hope though. They are not forced to post kernel source like everyone else.

Don't you know is it real to compile with another kernel for same CPU MT6575?
Found some links to kernel sources for other phones - seems to be working for different devices.
i had started this thread for discussion to move forward on the development as this is my first time at rom compiling
i request all the members to not to ask eta/progress report etc ill update the thread at regular stages
i had made a first breakthrough and now getting to cm bootanimation now need help from experienced developers to help me procede . i am unable to get logcat/dmesg cause adb is not detecting
can somebody help me
I will. You can ask chrmhoffmann or kashifmin from the mt6589 group. They have also source builded cm11 successfully.

Hi bro,
Great work to compile from source and achieve this stage.
In cm11 ramdisk to give adb access its bit diff from normal stock kernel ramdisk. Hope you have given like that !
BRO IF POSSIBLE CAN U UPLOAD THE ROM...:fingers-crossed:
Got adb working now don't know why but my custom usb initrd isn't getting compiled but now working fine
Now upto solving errors and porting mt6589 omni patches to mt6577 chipset

Hi guys. 2 months ago I've came into Android World deeper than before and now I'm very fascinated. I downloaded linux, all the necessary files to compile a rom but I still don't understand some things.
My device is Redmi Note 2 and I use stock MIUI 7. As we all know mtk and/or xiaomi haven't released kernel sources (6795) so developers have to think hard how to make a rom. And there are my questions. Does kernel source is really necessary? What if I compile rom successfully and then port boot.img from stock? Will it work? However developers made some roms based on LP for this device. And I read that I need device tree and vendor, which doesnt exist for redmi note 2 or I still can't use github.
Second question which I have is: does compiling for 64 bit CPU differ from compiling for 32 bit CPU (like 6592)? If yes, could you give me some tips?
Ohh I think you can understand what I wrote
Thanks in advance and please dont blame me for silly questions
If you are looking to compile roms then you picked the wrong device to do it. They are the worst with kernel source. You can't completely compile a rom but use a patch system that does most of the work.
Yes it is different. There are some Tuts around but they are few as most don't use that type of chip.
If you really want to learn to develop then I would suggest getting a different device. One that respects the copyright and gpl laws.

To compile a rom u need kernel source, device tree and proprietary, bye
When is Nokia going to release the kernel source for the Nokia 3 ?
It would be of much help if Nokia will give out the sources for aftermarket development.
If u by any means get hands on it, please kindly share.

Nokia mostly don't give a **** about customers, so no kernel source

Yeah I know but it would be good enough to ask them.
I was previously on a Motorola device(Moto E4-woods) the mtk variant, which we had to ask for kernel source before the released it.
Am currently trying to work on custom Roms for Nokia 3, but going with stock kernel isn't enough.

we can still port roms without kernel source, but we need to find rom with same cpu, gpu and same kernel version.
