Hi,
I recently bought a few Lenovo A830s for my family and my company, and I'm interested in porting CyanogenMod 10.1 to them (and their smaller sister the A820)
I understand that we have access to some of the source code for the Mediatek kernel (github - varunchitre15/MT6589_kernel_source)
and that one of the other major sticking points is no support for dual SIMs in CM.
I was just wondering whether anyone was interested in helping me with this, and whether they had any more insights to give before I started looking into it.
If this project is successful, I think it should also be much more straightforward to port CM to other MTK 6589 devices.
Best wishes,
Tom

Hello I have buyed a a830 these days, and I have look through the git-hub sources , but I havn't find a deconfig file for a830.
Are you sure it's the kernel of a830. Could you tell me which is it's deconfig file???
Sourse for MTK6589/8125
Compile a kernel will not be easy. But already there Sourse for Lenovo S6000 (MTK6589/8125)

I started looking into this, but I found it quite tricky.
In the meantime someone ported MIUI V5 to this device, so I have been using that instead.

Ok, so this is CM from xda with mediatek kernel (ported - not compiled from source), btw - it's still kernel from 4.1. I'm going to buy nexus and say f**k you to that chinese apes. All of this is really unbelievable. There is nothing we can do.

Hey guys, We are going to try something new for our china phones - cyanogenmod.
But we need some more devs to get everything going.
For now we have:
-Github tree for Lenovo P700i(mediatek 6577, android 4.0.4, kernel 3.0.8)
-Lens_flare - original port author(may work with system folder and configs)
-some kernel source from other devices like liquid gallant
The main problem is getting adb to work that could help a lot on remaining development. For now even zygote not starting, but all partitions seems mounted successfully.
We need more devs (especially that could assemble working kernel for device), working with p700i may lead to following porting for other mtk devices, as sources are nearly the same.
good project
i am in... :laugh:
We've done our best to deliver robust and delicious custom roms to our device (even using andrea or some other work [which are great], but, well.. android is opensource in the end ).
We hope you could help us with cm development (mostly on kernel part).
At last it would be great to see some light in the mtk darkness..
Hi,
I'm trying to start working on CM for MTK6589 device. (Star S7589)
Kernel sources (for normal Android) can be found (has been released by Acer few weeks ago), but the biggest problem is the "device" folder.
I've written e-mails to few producers (ZOPO, Cubot, THL), and even that I've gotten replies from ZOPO and THL, they don't want to share anything, nor the kernel, nor any other sources.
If you'll get to something, please post it here, or pm me, and if I'd make any step I'll also keep you informed.
Maybe it would be a good idea to sign a petition to Lenovo to "open the source code for the device"? 4pda russian forum would participate in signing such petition. And I assume there will be much more other communities / forums where we can spread this information to join us!
There are two steps to do this:
1. What is a petition website preferrable for such action?
2. To prepare the text for the petition which would be technically correct and would cover all the aspects we are waiting from Lenovo.
Anyone to take responsibilities for any paragraph?

As an example of petition I looked at the "Give us Ice Cream Sandwich for HTC Desire HD".
So, the petition site I think is chosen. It is http://www.ipetitions.com/
So, who will take care of technically correct statement for the petition?
There is one more issue: the channels for such information spread. As to my thoughts it might be:
1. xda developers (of course),
2. 4pda russian forum,
3. Lenovo russian forum,
4. Please propose more...
nice to see guys good if we get this working but any chance of mt6575 processors they are capable of running ics so cyanogenmod 9 ?
This is great, i´m a ZTE v970 MT6577 owner and love the idea. I have kernel for ZTE Grand X V970 already uploaded to github and download the android sources and CM to start building.
The problem is im not a dev or have any kind of formation so I dont know if Im doing rigth. But i will try
I build a cm from scratch to my htc wildfire but I just had to do the steps of the CM tutorials.
Sorry for my inglish
Good luck to you guys, i was lurking on XDA just to search for a few optimizations for my MTK6589 phone (HDC). This quadcore cpu is spreading like wildfire among chinese phones due to its low price, so hopefully you will get some good help for getting started.

Short update on the topic:
1. I've made working TWRP recovery for mine Star.
I had to rip it a bit (awfully small recovery partition), but it looks like it's 90-95% working, just without partitioning possibilities. (But backups/recovery of them fully works, as same as other TWRP functions, and offcourse it's all operated by touch.)
2. I've compiled CM10.1, but it doesn't start, so here there is really a lot of work in front.
hey guys I kinda ported cm7 on my mt6575 phone well I luckly got it booted up but only the thing was I was not able to go pass the lockscreen its some thing to do with some touch screen drivers only my power button worked any one know how to deal with the touch screen drivers ?

Maybe its better to start with CM9 or CM10, since Mediatek (ours) does not support JellyBean 4.2 yet. So getting CM10 on it would be freaking hard.
I also have a mtk phone, i would like to run cyanogend on it one day, iam no developer, im just gonna sit back and watch good luck
LPCRJ™ - Congrats! That's something, I'd say that even something really big, because noone else had even got to that point.
If you can, please share your sources (device/vendor catalogues) on github, then we'll be able to help you more
nathan-96 - Mine has got JellyBean (4.2.1), that's why i try to port the CM10.1, also I'm not sure if kernel 3.4.5 will work with CM9 and I haven't got any other to work on.
Still, mine CM isn't even going past first boot screen, even using hints from Lenovo P700 sources.

Sorry I thought you had the same mediatek processor as the op, but I read that you have one that, apperiantly, supports JellyBean 4.2. Its indeed a big step.
But we need Logcat's to see why its not passing bootscreen, because you might be closer than everyone's thinking right know.
Xolo Q800 / Fly IQ446 / Gionee GN708W Kernel
Hi friends, I was able to get my hands on the kernel for Xolo Q800 / Fly IQ446 / Gionee GN708W Kernel which are essentially the same phone. They run JB 4.2.1 today, though the kernel is based on 4.1.2. Will this suffice or do we need anything more to get CM working.
http://yadi.sk/d/-zrdnTk_4Iy7c
All these phones are Quadcore MT6589 1.2 GHz processors with 1 GB ram and 4 GB flash. And, roms of these phones can run on each other.
Thanks
amardeepsingh77 - You're my god!
There is literally everything in that source, the "device" catalogue, prebuilder scripts, complete kernel sources, it's kind of unbelieveable!
Now we are possible to really get to work, not just move in the dark
yo guys I was trying to port cm7 but I really wanted to port cm9 so I left porting cm7 because my phone is already running gingerbread here is a thread I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2246892 he have actually ported cm9 to mt6575 processor phone though I don't have this phone but I think porting to other mtk phone might become easy using his ways I flashed it on my phone but I had a bootloop I try editing stuff but no success. thanks to PdroidAndroid

Next update from the field:
However sources from amardeepsingh77 are awesome, it'll take a lot of time to succeed the build.
Our MTK devices can't be compiled like all others Android devices, because we can't simply use ./build/envsetup.sh, we've got to use makeMtk, and it's got a lot of annoying stuff.
Without that we can't build preloader, and without it I don't think any Cyan or other rom will work.
Things i have knowledge on :
1) i searched and got MIUI rom which is designed for SD410 ( refering to REDMI 2 Prime - SD410 variant)

2) i also searched for Porting MIUI8 to Qualcom devices.. ( worth mentioning that i once ported unsuccessful MIUI rom to MTK device)
i flashed MIUI 8 in my frnd's HonorHolly - it looked amazing , i desperately wished to make it work on my MotoG3 (2-16gb xt1550)
please share your valuable knowledge of making an BOOTABLE and Stable MIUI 8 rom for our MotoG3
my doubts are as follows:
1) No onScreen Nav keys on any MIUI - how can we insert them ?? even though if we insert do they look awkward? or they'll be same as ours?
2) is it easy or Tuff job to make this MIUI8 ?? how much work do we need to do ??
3) is there any stepby step process for noobs like me to make this work done ??
thank you all your suggestions.. i feel much delighted if you people help me :highfive:
Download sources and start building. It will be hard i guess. U can trt flymeos rom which is kinda based on miui .on screen keys can be added using build.prop. the keys will be depending on which android version u hve

can u give me idea from where should i start ?
i have that ROM downloaded.. what's the next thing i must look into?
Search xda for guides like how to build a rom. If u r porting chances are it will not work. U cant just download another device rom and start porting to our device. U need to have linux knowledge for building

is this enough ?? to make MIUI 8 ?

i have overcome this point :
The Port ROM and the Base ROM should have the same android version
now does this mean !! we should wait for 6.0.1 or 5.1.1 ??
i dont know which version is on that MIUI8 huh..
@banerjeeayan1996
thanks for sharing, i searched for ROMS which are currently on 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 , i could get 5.1.1 MIUI8
i asked the dev which rom should i use for MotoG3, will proceed upon his reply
atlast i am going start Porting , TY bro

You cannot build miui from source because source of miui is not open.While Miui use patchrom technology which is very similar to patching UI part over existing stock/CM framework.It is available upto kitkat but lollipop version is not available yet so we have to port miui from similar devices.Currently the most suitable candidate is Lenovo A6000+ or Redmi 2s Prime but i doubt the build will have ril or wifi working or even boot. it tried it many times no success yet and no senior developer is interested or have capability (due to closed source and unusal structure of miui) in developing any other Flavor Rom other than Cyanogenmod or stock based like flyme,MIUI,Lewa,Funtouch etc so we are helpless only some miracle will make MIUI Boot to our Device.

By the time, seems that system can be compiled succesfully but not the kernel, which gets built into boot.img but phone fails to start.

I'm facing some problems with RAM (compilation stops at 40% becouse of the memory) so the rom may come later, when I can fix all the issues.

Xiaomi doesn't release kernel source for building AOSP or CAF based rom, kernel source only work for MIUI at most. Also most proprietary vendor driver not available as sources (only blob). It's pain to build custom rom from Android fork.
Compared to Samsung, Sony, Lenovo, Oneplus etc, almost all abandoned xiaomi devices suffered same fate, the custom rom will always missing something. We were very lucky if we had such a great developer.
My previous device, redmi 1s never get update beyond kitkat, but armani-dev (especially fefifofum) were a great team, they bring mostly stable nougat release (LOS, Mokee, Slim, etc).

That would be essentially the same proccess we are now. It can be achieved though to use the tree from Mido and modify it for our device. Make a stable tree then compile

The Galaxy tab 3, zenphone 5 got a lot more attention and thus a lot more custom rom attention. Dell venue and my Trio got little to no attention due to poorer sales.
The galaxy tab 3 has been updated to 7.1.1 see:
http://techbeasts.com/install-android-711-nougat-galaxy-tab-3-101-lineageos-141/
Now How can that help the Trio? I found this tool, but no flash.xml so no luck using it:
https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/intel-platform-flash-tool-lite
Here is a guide on how to use it: http://www.aryk.tech/2016/04/how-to-flash-stock-firmware-using-intel.html?m=0
This is all NEW as of 2017. So its not been available before this.
The TX201LAF a french tablet version of the TX201LA is in the same boat but it at least it is on 4.4. Its kernel firmware is here: http://support.asus.com.cn/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=TX201LAF&p=3&s=587
My big question is with all these roms for x86 atom z2560 & z2580 soc's shouldn't I be able to get an updated rom somehow? I imagine that would involve building a rom myself but if the base soc is the same isnt it possible to build the rom for a different device and use a different kernel source like I linked above? The kernel source has the drivers I need right, for the device to run? Ive heard a lot of people talk about you wont get the touch panel to work or the wifi. I understand that but isnt it all loaded from the kernel source? So basically if I have kernel source and grab an updated rom from lineage 7 for the galaxy tab 10.1 and replace the kernal i'm good to go right? I know there is more to it but really looking for some help here?
Even if I can just get the tx201laf image to load on my tx201la that would be
something, its an update from 4.2 to 4.4. Both devices are identical, so that should make it a lot easier right? Looking for any insight to xda experts can provide.
Hi ! I'm still using my trio so I'm very interested ! Did you succeed ?
Thks a lot
no luck yet
I had hopes that this would turn out to work but you cant use the intel flash tool without a flash.xml which is written for the device. SO that stopped me dead in my tracks.
I recently found this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/efidroid-t3447466/page37
Hoping this dev will give the tx201la a shot. There is also this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...g/tool-multirom-recovery-replacement-t3102395
Do you realize how simular the tx201la is to just about every zenphone made since the newest. IE almost all of those roms would likely boot on our tablet.
??
Any other input?
Come on guys, has everyone moved on to the shinny new toys?

Thanks for the tip. Now I need to find help up-streaming my kernel:
Device info: https://valid.x86.fr/a/wkb2d8
Kernel source: http://support.asus.com.cn/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=TX201LA&p=3&s=587
Could really use help doing that.. Total noob & trying to understand all the terminology.

HOLLY $#%^ PALM TREES!!!!!!
Ok I checked out the Russian thread, which I cant believe I had never found, seriously what search engine do you use? Or are you Russian?
Anyway that lead me to this: https://cs5-3.4pda.to/10031052/20170404_145326.jpg?6c8bd0e99d5f5d5ce8c14e92c456565c
That might not mean much to many but its the TX201LA running the Asus memopad 10 android 4.2.2 and its actually working. So that is a huge deal.
Then I found this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../rom-8-0-0-lineageos-15-0-unofficial-t3693838
There is a updated rom for the memopad 10. Now I hope I can get this rom to run with slight variations.. Will see..

No problem. I'm not Russian. I use Google mostly. My pride and joy is my memory (lol) :laugh: and I like to help if I can. Saw your thread and simply shared a few resources, I figured were helpful
