>> libwebviewchromium_plat_support.so
(IMPORTANT FILES )
8. COPY THE 4 LIBRARY FILES MENTIONED IN STEP 7 AND MOVE IT TO THE PORT FOLDER'S >LIB FOLDER> PASTE THERE AND REPLACE EXISTING FILES
9. REPLACE THE VENDOR FOLDER IN THE PORT FOLDER WITH THE VENDOR FOLDER FROM THE BASE
10 CHANGE BOOTANIMATION IN THE PORT FOLDER>MEDIA FOLDER> (ACC. TO YOUR SCREEN RESOLUTION USE YOUR STOCK BOOTANIMATION IF YOU DONT HAVE A SIMILAR RESOLUTION BOOT ANIMATION FILE)
11.
A) OPEN THE PORT FOLDER>SYSTEM>ETC > ABD DELETE THE FOLLWOING
FIRMWARE,
MDDB(SOME ROMS MAY NOT HAVE THIS,SO IF YOUR ROM DOES NOT, IGNORE IT)
B) COPY THESE TWO FOLDERS FROM BASE TO PORT>SYSTEM>ETC>
12.
A) OPEN BASE FOLDER >SYSTEM>ETC>
B) COPY AUDIOEFFECT, AUDIOPOLICY, MEDIACODECS FILES TO PORT FOLDER>ETC FOLDER> PASTE THERE REPLACING EXISTING FILES
13.
A) OPEN THE BASE ROM FOLDER'S >SYSTEM>XBIN> FOLDER
B) COPY THE libmnlp_mt65xx(DIFF ACC TO CHIPSET LIKE MT6582,MT6592) FILE TO PORT FOLDER>SYSTEM>XBIN > PASTE IT THERE
C) DELETE PORT ROM'S libmnlp_mt65xx

Steps 5 and 6 go together.
Extract the LIB folder of BASE ROM to anywhere you want. Then copy and replace the bolded files below to the PORT ROMs LIB folder.

How to Port custom ROM using your Phone (MTK devices Only)

Hi Guys
This is just a simple tutorial on how to port ROM right from your phone
No PC
No kitchen
But you can still port ROM
Just sit down and Follow All steps
Everybody want to be a ROM porter but with one problem or the other they can't but this method is tested and trusted.
Tool Needed
** Any Zip extractor App for android
** B1 Archiver
** Zipper
** Root explorer
** And your Brain
This method is for porting Only ROM of the same chipset like
Mtk6572 -Mtk6572
Mtk6582 -Mtk6582
Try at your own risk but insha Allah it will work for you.
Don't try this for Chinese ROM like Miui, Lewa ui , Color os etc
Let's begin
Step 1 Extract Your port ROM and name the folder PORT
Step 2 Extract Your Base ROM and name the folder BASE
Step 3 Open both folder in side tab with Root explorer
Step 4 Copy this files from your stock ROM to port ROM
system/vendor
system/usr
system/lib/hw
system/lib/modules
system/lib/libncurses.so
system/etc/firmware
system/etc/vold.fstab
system/etc/vold.fstab.nand
system/etc/bluetooth
Step 5 Open updaterscript of your Base ROM from META-INF/google/android check The mount & format point check something like this mmcblk0p. A number is always written after the "P" replace the number of your BASE to PORT
Step 6 Copy boot.img from BASE to PORT
Step 7 Check multi select in zipper or B1 archiver Select
META-INF
system
boot.img
Delete logo.bin if present from port!!!!!!!!!
Compress to ZIP file wait till the process finished
Now boot to recovery and flash your ROM
Good Luck To you all feel free to ask questions.
I have use this method to port upto 15 ROMS
You can check ROM to port Here

Assalamu alaikum I wish to port s custom rom for my device LG k8 X240i mt6737 kernal 3.18.19+ android 6.0 i hav downloaded a resurrection remix of same chipset and same kernal of 7.0 version can i port can u guide me please can u giv ur num so i can contact you to get help from porting pls help me ..

[ROM DEVELOPING]Porting made so easy, You can do most of it on your phone!!

Hi XDA! I am a mtk6592 developer, and a key developer of the Micromax canvas gold A300 & Canvas knight A350. People have often asked me for the method i use to port roms. So, I've finally decided to share my method. It is so easy, U can port roms using your phone!
PROS:
1. Works for most devices with any mediatek chipset (may also work for qcomm i don't know)
2. Can be used to port firmwares of same SDK (eg. porting 4.4.4 to 4.4.2)
3. Every feature of port rom is present
4. Takes no more than 5 mins to port
CONS:
1. Ported rom usually has several bugs
2. Problems related to boot.img need a computer
3. Ported rom size may be much larger if you are running a non-aosp based rom (sense, touchwiz etc.)
So lets begin!!
1. Download and extract the rom to be ported.
2. (Assuming you are using your phone\tab) Go to /system/bin and copy everything. Paste it in the port rom's /system/bin BUT DON'T OVERWRITE ANYTHING!
3. Repeat step 2 for /system/lib
4. Now copy file "vold" from /system/bin to /system/bin of port rom folder. Overwrite.
5. Do the same for libMali.so from /system/lib.
6. Form /system/etc/permissions, copy handheld_core_hardware.xml and platform.xml to port rom's /system/etc/permissions. Overwrite.
7. Do the same for everything in /system/etc/firmware and /system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl
8. You can keep build.prop of port rom as it is, or edit according to your convinience. (dosen't matter much)
9. Get your device's mount points from any other rom made for your device. Replace these in port's updater-script.
10. Replace port's boot.img with your stock boot.img.
11. Zip and Flash!!
12. If there is a bootloop, you have to unpack boot.img and make necessary changes. Please follow other guides on XDA for that.
13. For bug fixes, refer to Different guides present .
Please hit the THANKS button if I helped you!!
I have ported over 10 roms using this method for my device alone.​

Link for bug fixes......

This is simply repackaging the work of others and redistributing it on another device.
And step one should be, Ask rom owners permission.
Step two....Credit them appropriately.
:good:

Bugs Fix Guide please....

How to port roms to your mtk with android device

HOW TO PORT ROMS TO YOUR MTK WITH ANDROID DEVICE
Most of us have always wanted to use custom roms but there just no custom roms for our devices so we just use different app launchers and uninstall some bloatware to make our stock rom feel good.
Rom porting makes it possible to use a custom rom on your mtk device provided in this tutorial they have the same chipset (example: mtk 6582 ported to mtk6582).
THINGS NEEDED :
1. B1 archiver / ES FILE EXPLORER
2. Root Browser.
4. A rooted device is also needed but not much important if you have CWM INSTALLED WITHOUT ROOT.
PROCEDURE :
1. Make a backup of your current rom, preferably CWM backup. You can either use MTK DROID TOOLS or ROM MANAGER...
The location of the backup will be at clockwork/backup/"date and time of the backup ". This is very important since we will need stuff from the back up and we will also use the backup to recover the phone should the ported rom give any problems.
2. At this point I presume you have already downloaded the apps needed and the custom rom you want to use which is in a zip format( this was not important but I had to bring it up cause I know zombies could be reading this.
3. Now extract the custom Rom with Root Browser. if you extracted with Root Browser then the location will be "speedsoftware/extracted/"folder with the name of the custom rom "".
4. Now open Root Browser and open the folders side by side "custom rom which will be ported at one side and other side will be used for searching for the location of the things needed for the custom rom.
5. Delete the following from the Custom rom:
Boot.img
logo.bin (You do this only when you like the Your current logo.bin)
system/vendor
system/usr
system/lib/hw
system/lib/modules
system/lib/libncurses.so
system/etc/firmware
system/etc/vold.fstab
system/etc/vold.fstab.nand
system/etc/bluetooth
6. Now that you have deleted them from the custom rom replace them. You will find the boot.img at clockworkmod/back/"folder with date and time"/boot.img. The rest of the files and folders will br located in the Root /system. Just copy and paste
7. Now at the custom Rom panel go back to where you find the "META-INF" folder,open /google/android will now long press on "updater script" and tap on open with then select text editor.
8. Check The mount & format point check something like this mmcblk0p. A number is always written after the "P" replace the number of your BASE to PORT.
9. Check multi select in B1 archiver Select ( do not archive the folder the files are in but the individual files in the folder containing the extracts)
10. Compress to ZIP file wait till the process finished. Now boot to recovery and flash your ROM
Good luck in porting Your Rom... I have used this method to port 5 roms including AROMA ROMS. and I have never ported a Rom with a pc before
MAYBE U NEED TO EXTRACT THE BOOT IMG TOO IF THIS DIDNT WORKED
DO IT AS FOLLOWS
Requirements:
-- BusyBox (cpio, gunzip and gzip is mandatory)
-- /System Write Permissions (Does not need to be a modified kernel)
-- Terminal Emulator
-- ES File Explorer (or similar)
-- Hex Editor (or use of DD)
-- Open up your android terminal emulator.
-- Now go ahead and pull your boot.img from your device (or use another one if you wish)
-- Open up your boot.img with the Hex Editor and look for: ANDROID!. Remove everything before it so that the ANDROID! header is the first to be read then save it over top of the boot.img. NOTE: This is only required if you are using a stock boot.img.
OR USE THIS IF U DIDNT UNDERSTOOD THIS

[Temp] How-To Fix Audio distorted on P GSIs

Hello everyone,here you go this is temporary fix for audio distorted on android P gsis. Im running on stable miui global ( so the vendor of mine was)
Needed Rooted devices and running AndroidP GSIs (mine tested on Pexelxperience P)
STOCK Vendor file latest Miui Global Stable
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pZ9uraiebO3HM2mQcmdjavz99xOqukNT/view?usp=drivesdk
- Boot to TWRP and mount the Vendor partitions
Use root explorer , suggested amaze filemanager download it for free on on Playstore activate the root filemanager (amaze as it set default to off)
- go to root tab, /Vendor/lib/soundfx/ now you need to rename whole files ( i don't suggested to dellete/removes whole files .so)
Just rename it extension (.so) to .bak
After that reboot.
Credit to mi8 user,seems on poco we have to change it on Lib not the lib64..
Hit thanks if i helped.
*If its don't work please do the same things on vendor/lib64/soundfx.
*Important.
This the one-time and universal fix, so you don't need to editing the vendor files everytime you changing the rom gsis, as its on vendor side modifications, it will keep the mod survived everytime you changing the gsis as long you didn't re-flash the stock vendor.img/flashing the stock Miui roms.
Keep an eyes to Phhs Aosp P build when he succesfully fixing the distortion bugs on xiaomi devices, its mean you'll need the stock vendor.img (un-modified) to be flashed.
Update : pre- modified vendor use only adbfastboot tool
Put the modified vendor inside adbtool and putyour device in fastboot mode
Flash this via fastboot :
"fastboot erase vendor" <enter>
"fastboot flash vendor.img" <enter>
Before flashing this i suggest you do backup your original vendor partition.

I removed the files previous week but the sound was not fixed, mainly the system sounds where disorted everything else was working.
Only the Google setup didn't work

Can you please share the link to the P GSI you use? Any thread with instructions?

Its simple i mean don't make it complicated,the gsi img itself was the single img file which created /developed to replacing the stock system partition, in our case is Miui. Needed files :
1.Gsi files,you choose your own fav gsi, i'm using Pixelxperience head there and download the zip..and extractsthe img file inside (the img file insidewas the system img to replace miui on our system prtition).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...lopment/9-0-pixelexperience-p-t3833294/page47
2.TWRP, get it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-x-t3836241/page12. we need this to format data after flashing the gsi.
Steps :
Put the img and TWRP files inside Adb,fastboot directory, rename the Gsi img file with simple name so you won't be typo or type wrong name of img file.
1.Reboot your device into fastboot mode (backup your important files as it would be formating your data)
Confirm your device was detected in fastboot mode (fastboot devices)
2. Type "fastboot erase system"
Wail till complete and said done.
3. Fastboot "flash system name_of_extracted_img_file.img"
*I've changed the file to system.img so i type fastboot flash system system.img
Be patient in this step,as you'll see more than 1 process shown on cmd. Wait till it done.
4. Don't boot to system directly, now type "fastboot boot twrp_name.img" if you don't want to flash / replacing stock miui recovery.
Or "fastboot flash recovery twrp_name.img"
wait till it boot, ignore the password pop up choose cancell,now wipe, and choose format data, wait till done.
*Optional if you need to root do it, i suggested magisk latest stable build.
Back to main menu TWRP and choose mount the vendor , we need to modify the libs file to make the distorted audio gone.
Or you can flash my modified vendor.img with command "fastboot flash vendor.img" if you're lazy enough to rename the lib files one-by-one manually using root explorer.
Reboot to system and you're now running pie gsi.
