[Q] kernel porting

i have micromax a85 on android 2.3 but company refused to give kernel source so i wanna know if kernel of galaxy r can be ported to our lovely a85 since both devices are based on tegra2 board same ULP GPU have similar specs (except 512 - 1gb ram, 0.3 mp - 1.3 mp front camara , no flash-with flash
in micromax a85 - galaxy r respectively

The thing is that to port a bootimage.....you will have to adapt the appropriate sources according to your phone
Herpderp Defy.

They cannot refuse to give the kernel code. Kindly remind them that the kernel's source code is licensed under GPL v2 and they are obliged to release sources.

[Completed] Pocketbook Surfpad 3 10.1

Hi Everyone,
I recently acquired a new tablet - the Pocketbook Surfpad 3 10.1 inch model.
Specifications:
CPU: MediaTek MT8389 (quadcore 1.2ghz, cortex-a7)
RAM: 1GB
HDD: 16GB
GPU: PowerVR SGX 544MP
Screen: IPS, 10.1 inch, 5-point touchscreen, 1280x800 resolution
Android: 4.2.2
Kernel version: 3.5.6
I have searched a lot and have been unable to find any custom roms for it. I do have some experience with custom roms, having been updating my ZTE Blade phone for a number of years now.
What I want to somehow do (please tell me which are feasable):
- update libraries
- zipalign
- deodex
- remove unneeded bloatware
- add useful apks (cyanogenmod dsp manager, calculator and others?)
- update camera app
- add new i/o schedulers, cpu governor, KSM?
I am not crazy and I know AI have close to zero skills in doing any of these. I just want a workaround for these problems:
- bad volume (needs equalization like from the DSP Manager from CM for Speakers)
- remove unneeded bloatware without breaking anything
- optimize processing and battery
I have managed to root it, and may have found a working recovery (CMW 6.0.3.2) via some random russian forums.
What would you advise me?

Sorry ... can't find any custom ROM for your device either.
As there is no device specific forum on xda, you should post your request in the Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum ... and hope that someone having this device is willing to create (and share) a custom ROM.

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.
