[ROM DEVELOPING]Porting made so easy, You can do most of it on your phone!! - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

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.

[GUIDE] How To Port Roms Easy Method! Qualcomm devices!

Hello, i'm a new member from indonesia so my post still fewer than 10. so i can't post in developer's area.
NOTE : THIS TUTORIAL ONLY TESTED BY QUALCOMM DEVICES!
I'm a noob, and i wanna share you how to PORT ROMS with 30 easy steps!
This is 100% working, incase the device you wanna port have a same hardware Processor, GPU, RAM, Chipset, etc and screen resolution (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT)
this is veryy easy... you don't need copy paste system files, this is very EASY..
in this method we will use port boot.img to new rom.
What you need :
- Boot Recovery Image RePacker : http://boot-repacker.blogspot.com/
- NotePad++ : http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.6.7.html
- Stock ROM for your device
- Rom your wanna port
- Open mind and never give up to trying !!
OK, NOW WE START
1. Create 2 folder in place you can easily find it. example : "D: DATA/"
2. name it "BASE" and "PORT"
3. Extract your stock rom to "BASE" and Port ROM to "PORT".
4. Open Base And Port folder
5. Open Boot repacker. drag your stock boot.img to that program and click "unpack". now you see "boot.img-unpacked" folder.
6. Do it that again on Port Boot.img
7. Go to boot.img-unpacked folder on port. delete the Zimage.
8. copy stock Zimage on "boot.img-unpacked" folder at BASE folder.
9. paste it on boot.img-unpacked folder at PORT folder
10. go to ramdisk. find a file with a "fstab" name
11. in my case, it has 3 files.
12. open it all on Notepad++
13. Replace PORT partition with Stock (BASE) in all 3 fstab files (recovery partition, boot partition, system partition,etc)
14. drag boot.img in port to boot repacker. click "Pack". now you see new boot.img with numbers. (boot.img-Numbers.img)
15. delete boot.img without numbers. and rename the new boot.img (with numbers). delete the numbers. and the name should be (boot.img)
16. go to meta-inf/com/google/android in port and base folder. open updater-script file with notepad++
17. Replace PORT block partition with stock(BASE) again. example : boot.img extract to block p.., format system block p.., etc
18. save it.
19. pack port with .zip type
20. copy to your hand phone storage
21. go to cwm
22. wipe dalvik cache
23. wipe data/factory reset
25. wipe cache partition
26. install your rom
27. wait... finish!
28. reboot your system
29. waittt.. booted!

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 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
Hello Everyone, I’ll show you how to Unpack and Repack your Phone’s Boot.img & Tweak Karnel. Lets start.
Make a new folder named “boot edit” in cache/
image
Pull your boot.img in this folder

[guide]port nougat roms for snapdragon devices

HELLO GUYS AND GALS WE HAVE NOW NOUGAT IN OUR HANDS GETTING PRETTY STABLE BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE WILLING TO PORT NOUGAT TO THEIR PHONES SO HERE I AM WITH A GUIDE THAT I MADE MYSELF WITH HELP OF @mshoaib7 TO PORT NOUGAT ROMS FOR LENOVO A6000 THIS GUIDE CAN BE USED FOR OTHER SNAPDRAGON DEVICES
LETS START
BASICS---
YOU CAN ONLY USE 7.0 AS BASE FOR 7.0 ROMS AND 7.1.1 AS BASE FOR 7.1.1 ROMS
YOU NEED TO HAVE ATLEAST ONE FULLY FUNCTIONAL NOUGAT ROM THAT YOU CAN USE AS BASE
THE PROCESSOR OF BOTH THE PHONES SHOULD BE SAME
SAME GOES WITH GPU AND SCREEN SIZE
THE ROM OF YOUR PHONE IS CALLED BASE ROM
THE ROM THAT YOU WANT FROM OTHER PHONE TO YOUR PHONE IS CALLED PORT ROM
ITS HARD TO MAKE IT NOOBFRIENDLY:silly::silly::silly::silly:
REQS---
1] AUTO TOOL UNPACK REPACK TO EXTRACT SYSTEM.NEW.DAT FROM HERE
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/tool-auto-tool-unpack-repack-rom-t3278393
2] WINDOWS PC
3]NOTEPAD++
4]TIME AND PATIENCE
LETS START NOW---
1] EXTRACT YOUR BASE ROM AND PORT ROM TO DIFFERENT FOLDERS
2]YOU MAY GET SYSTEM.NEW.DAT IN BOTH ROMS IF YOU GET THAT USE AUTO TOOL TO EXTRACT THEM
3]NOW GO TO PORT ROM FOLDER AND DELETE META-INF, FILE CONTEXTS, RECOVERY, SUPERSU OR ANY OTHER FOLDERS PRESENT
DONT DELETE BOOT.IMG AND SYSTEM FOLDER
4] COPY META-INF AND RECOVERY FOLDER FROM BASE TO PORT ROM AT THE SAME LOCATION FROM WHERE YOU DELETED THEM
5] OPEN SYSTEM FOLDERS IN BOTH ROMS
6]DELETE BIN, ETC, TTS, ADDON.D, USR, XBIN AND recovery-from-boot.p FROM PORT ROMS FOLDER
COPY THE ABOVE FOLDERS AND FILES FROM BASE TO PORT ROM AFTER DELETING IN PORT ROMS FOLDER
7]OPEN LIB FOLDERS IN BOTH ROMS AND COPY AND REPLACE /DRM
/HW, /SOUNDFX FOLDERS FROM BASE TO PORT
8] COPY THE FOLLOWING LIB FILES FROM BASE TO PORT LIB FOLDER
LIBGLES*, LIBMM*, LIBHARDWARELEGACY, LIBRIL, LIBRILUTILS, libwcnss_qmi, LIBCAMERA*
9] NOW OPEN /VENDORS/LIB IN BOTH ROM FOLDERS AND REPLACE FROM BASE TO PORT ALL THE FILES NAMED WITH
libacutator*, libchromatix*, libmmcamera*, libril*,liboemcamera, libimscamera
10]NOW RENAME BUILD.PROP OF PORT ROM TO SOMETHING ELSE AND COPY YOUR BASE BUILD.PROP IN SYSTEM FOLDER OF PORT ROM AND OPEN BOTH OF THEM AND REPLACE THE ROMS NAME, ITS VERSION AND STUFF FROM PORT TO BASE BUILD.PROP AND SAVE IT AND DELETE THE PORT BUILD.PROP
NOW THE BOOTIMG PART----
USE THIS TO EXTRACT BOOTIMG---
http://www.mediafire.com/download/815a86r7ay5dh8r/bootimg.zip
EXTRACT THE ABOVE ZIP AND CUT AND MOVE YOUR PORT BOOTIMG TO THIS FOLDER
NOW IN this folder press SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK AND SELECT OPEN COMMAND WINDOWS HERE AND TYPE IN CMD-
bootimg.exe --unpack-bootimg boot.img
your port BOOTIMG WILL BE EXTRACTED NOW DELETE EVERTHING EXCEPT BOOTIMG.EXE AND INITRD FOLDER
NOW RENAME THIS INITRD FOLDER TO "PORT BOOTIMG"
SIMILARLY EXTRACT YOUR BASE BOOTIMG BUT DONT DELETE ANYTHING THIS TIME NOW GO TO THE PORT BOOTIMG FOLDER AND CUT init.environ.rc AND PASTE IT IN INITRD FOLDER OF BASE BOOTIMG
AFTER REPLACING THAT FILE RUN THIS COMMAND
bootimg.exe --repack-bootimg
YOU WILL GET BOOT-NEW.IMG
CUT IT AND PASTE IT IN YOUR PORT ROMS FOLDER AND RENAME IT TO boot.img
NOW SELECT ALL THE FOLDERS IN PORT ROMS FOLDER
INCLUDING META-INF, SYSTEM, BOOT.IMG, FILECONTEXTS, AND OTHER FOLDERS IF PRESENT AND ZIP IT AND FLASH IT VIA TWRP
NOTE---YOUR BASE ROM SHOULD NOT BE COMPRESSED IN FORM OF SYSTEM.NEW.DAT OR YOU WILL HAVE TO CREATE A NEW UPDATER-SCRIPT
I AM SURE THIS GUIDE WILL WORK FOR SD410, SD210 DEVICES
COMMENT IF YOU FACE ANY PROBLEMS
IT WAS A LONG GUIDE:silly:
ENJOY
it is good but it will create ril bug.

Great for ones who want to learn porting.
Sent from my Lenovo A6000 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Thanks a lot brother. I got some question .
1. Can I take any A6000/+ Nougat ROM as base ?
2. Most of the ROMs available for A6000 doesn't come with system.new.dat file. So we don't need to extract anything ?
3. But if port ROM has system.new.dat file then we have to extract it first ?
