[Completed] [Q] Some Doubts.

First of all hi I'm new here and I know nothing of android development,
I had started some work on earlier symbian platform but this is just different totally different and better than the brilliant environment.
Yesterday I bought a phone in $50 its MTK6589 291ppi 1GB RAM. I know these specs. are not very good these days buy in 50 bucks can you believe it?
So. here's my first question.
If you want to upgrade from like JB to KK then how do you do it. Do you have to build another kernel as well.
What are the tools you all guys are using to get the things done.
Mediatek vs Snapdragon for which should I go for.
Is there a method to by which if the manufacturer does not releases the source then you can port CM to it or like L preview to a device running Cupcake {theoretically}.
Does XDA-University has a quick start PDF.

[Completed] MT6572 ROM Porting Question

Hey guys,
So I am thinking of porting a custom rom for my MT6572 device which I am sure you have never heard of: QMobile A170. I already have it rooted using Farmaroot 1.9.3 (thankgod for generic tools) and seeing as there are no roms for this specific model out there, was thinking of porting one myself. So here are my queries.
1. Which ROM do you suggest I port (in terms of features, ui, stability and chance of success etc)? Where can I find an android 4.4+ rom? I only found one but it has an annoying dev picture everywhere: droidbuzzz.blogspot(dot)com/2014/10/mt6572-custom-rom-pure-l-custom-rom-for(dot)html
2. Which porting guide do i follow for MT6572 porting? there are alot of guides out there, and more alarmingly, with different steps and procedures.
I had this in mind: en.miui(dot)com/thread-32469-1-1(dot)html
3. Should I use a porting tool or something?
4 Any tips, wise words etc?

Thank you, there is a thread seperately dedicated for Lava X604. I have messaged the author of thread also, I just want to get the broadcom drivers running so I can reinstall the stock firmware. Any help would be nice.

Then you can post in the thread you discovered, or the section I linked. ?

Anyone has the original fabric ROM of this device (G1-725) and does anyone has done root to this tablet with out any issues later?

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately very little is known about such a low-end and low-popularity device, so we're not really any help to you, sorry. I can see you've asked this same question in this thread:
[TOOL KIT] myKIT_BATCHV1.1.x
If that person doesn't respond to you then I'd suggest you ask your question in the general q&a section of XDA here:
Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!

[Completed] Custom ROM Help

Hi,
Sorry if this is the wrong section. Anyway, I have decided to create my own custom ROM and today I setup the build envirnment and downloaded the source etc. Now, I have a few questions:
1. I just cherrypicked something from another ROM and I'm being told I'm not in a project branch. Is that okay or was I supposed to create one?
2. I noticed many other popular ROMS have a gerrit page that shows the changes that have been made. Is there any way I can access something like that with or my ROM?
Thanks in advance!

Sir,
Please remember that here isn't the right place for such a questions/share because isn't an help desk.
