[Q] ROM development questions!!! - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys!!! 8 months ago I bought a phone which was great for the cash i had collected at that time. I bought a ZTE Blade III Pro. Here are the specs:
Networks: 2G and 3G
Screen: 4" Capacitive TFT Touchscreen, 480x800, 233ppi
Memory: 4GB (1.8 usable), expandable to 32GB via MicroSD card, 512MB RAM
Sound: Dolby Mobile Sound Enhancement
Camera: Primary:5MP, 2592 х 1944, autofocus, touch to focus, geo-tagging, panorama, timing mode, camera filters, 480p video recording | Front:0.3 VGA
Chipset: Snapdragon S4 Play MSM8225
CPU: Dual-Core 1.2GHz Cortex A5
GPU: Adreno 203
Battery: 1600 MaH
Android: 4.1.2 Jelly Bean
Since there are no custom ROMs available for this device I decided to port but no success. Then I tried my luck and started to learn how to build AOSP ROM from source. Then I found out that I need a kernel-source and device-tree available. Since ZTE hasn't released kernel-source and device-tree for this phone that was a no go.
So I'm here to ask you can I build my own kernel-source and device tree? And How To Do It? I have read on other forums that you can use drivers from other devices with the same hardware ( there are a lot of them ) but I don't know what to do right now. There are KitKat builds for phones with the same hardware ( HTC Desire X, Huawei Ascend Y300... ) but they have a lot of developers and there are a lot of custom ROMs for them! Please Help Me!!!

Without the kernel source there is nothing you can do. This is the reason developers never touch off beat devices or devices from from China based OEM.

recomendations? Hero 2000+

Hi, I am familiar with this forum but I have never posted anything. Ok anyways I just ordered a Chinese knockoff phone called the Hero 2000+ of the Iphone 5, it comes as an android os instead of the ios. The reason I ordered this was to experiement with it, plus I like how the Iphone looks but dont care for the IOS. So I know MIUI makes a custom rom with an Iphone theme, so my question is can this be installed in a chinese knockoff? I would love to have the best of both worlds.
they sell this phone on android-sale
