So here's my problem, it's not anything serious or an emergency, but I would like someone to take a look:
I have an Acer Liquid E700 (mt6582) which came with Android 4.4.2, and since Acer doesn't seem to want to update it, I decided to look for a custom rom and port it to my device. I successfully did it and I now have CM 12.1 on my device and pretty much everything works.
I managed to squash some bugs like the sensors not working and such, and now there's only one thing bothering me: I can't record videos and video playback is faulty too (I tried to attach an image but I don't know if it appears).
So I wanted to know what files to copy from the stock rom to the ported rom to fix this, something in the /system/lib folder maybe?
So if anyone knows a thing or two about rom porting for MediaTek devices... Yeah I need some help here

Hello XDA,
I have bought a new android device for myself today, the Sharp FX Plus (Model: ADS1) and I've been browsing on the site to find some compatible roms; But no luck. I've used the forums before to successfully root and put a rom on my ASUS tablet with no issues, but this one is a mystery. Is there a thread with what roms are compatible with my phone or has nobody ever really looked into this phone? I've tried to google it with no luck, either. The phone is already rooted, I got that far, I just can't find any roms that are 'confirmed' compatible with it.
Thanks to whoever replies!
P.S. I'm slightly new to the whole custom rom thing - but I do somewhat understand the basics.
metoo!
I too have a sharp fx plus ads1. I have my phone rooted but am having no luck finding a custom rom. I understand it is kind of an entry level android and maybe out of date but it has all the capabilites I need. I also know enough to root my phone and install a rom but not good enough to actually create my own custom rom. Is there anyone that has the time and enjoys doing so that would help out with a custom rom for these phones? I found a page that mentioned updated to 3.2 with a new rom but there was no link for the rom so I'm thinkning it was a fake. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

EDIT: I posted in Misc Android Development section here, trying to put the information in a centralized area for any potential development on this device.
Recompiled the CM7 Kernel as a test using the device's config.gz, working on getting the CM7 source to go (its being tricky lol). I have a test CyanogenMod 6.1.2 ported from a Z71 that runs, as well as a modded stock 2.2.2 ROM. A "dirty-port" test of a Z71 CM7 rom boots with some mods (no radio, networking, etc..) - so there may be some hope for this lil thing!
Hope that helps
Hello everyone! I am a little new to this, so please take it easy on me. I have actually never created my own Android ROM via the AOSP, but I have opened up Zip files for ROMs other developers have created and have been able to do basics.
I recently bought this device: MPie G7 (gearbest . com/cell-phones/pp_76182.html)
As you can all tell, it is not exactly a very popular phone. So, finding source code for this phone's ROM is basically, impossible. I have also been unable to find the manufactures website address either (anyone have any ideas?).
Anyway, here are my very noob questions. I am obviously planning on hitting base with the AOSP code, but with Lollipop. This poses a new problem to me, because I cannot find the source code, how am I supposed ot create a kernel specific ROM? This thing runs on a MTK, most precisely: MTK6582. It came with Android 4.4.2 (KitKat).
I am also worried about one small other thing, which is the gestures. If my phone is on standby, screen is off, I can do gestures on the off screen to do certain things. Similar to the OnePlus One. But, I am worried I will not be able to do that if I build my own ROM from source.
Anyone have suggestions? Or can possibly help? Thank you very much. All your help is appreciated!

Why don't you list down some of the specifications of your phone and compare them with other mediatek devices!!!
That way if u have the stock ROM of the phone then u can port ROMs from another mediatek device like xolo q700i which has a dedicated thread!!! xolo q700i has many different number of ROMs !!! That way by zip based theming and porting you might be successful in at least creating a ROM for yourself which u can use as a base for different roms!!!
The way I see it if you don't have source or downloadable ROM from your OEM, you have two options:
- like @thecoolster said you could try flashing ROMs from similar devices, and hope you don't end up stuck with a soft brick.
- or, likely your device can be easily rooted (in the settings perhaps?) if it isn't already. Then you can make nandroid to give yourself a stock ROM to cook.
Actually porting your ROM from a developer device tree and AOSP or CM is hard if you are only a hobbyist cook.
Even with a cooked ROM, you'd need a recovery that lets you flash it or you'd have to use SP flashtool and make your own config files for the flash.
Hello,
With the recent Android M coming out soon, I wanted to try to find a custom ROM to flash onto my Android Phone. It's the VeryKool Sparks II s5015. However, being as it's not very much supported, I'm having issues finding ROM's etc for Lollipop custom builds. Does anyone have any idea's where I could get one? Or what? CM 12 doesn't appear to be compatible.
hey bro, your phone it's compatible but there are no developers working on your specific device, thats the reason for that you can't find a ROM... Whatever your phone have MTK Chipset, install cpu-z app from playstore and see what model is. example mine device is mt6572. when you sure know your device chipset can download custom rom from here: http://_www.mtkroms.com_/ and here: http://_www.mtkcrom.blogspot.com_/ (delete the "_" on URL) obviously you have to ported first for your device, but don't worry, there are tutorials on the pages.
finally sorry for my bad english and... do all things at your own risk, if i helped you click the "thanks" button
My device
Brand: O+ (Not a popular brand) search their site type Oplususa.com since I still can't post outside links
Model: 8.17
OS: 4.4.2 KK
Cores: 6 (hexa)
Custom Recovery: TWRP 2.8.2.0
MediaTek6591
Rooted
I've just ported a custom rom called Mystic OS to my phone's stock rom even though the rom is made for a device running on mtk6592 I still take the risk to flash it on my device. Luckily it worked but has a lots of bugs like can't use wifi, bluetooth, can't detect sd card etc. But I fixed this bugs by reading on some forums, but the only problem that I can't solve is the resolution of my camera, my camera should be in 8 mp but in this custom rom I think it is about 2 mp, it is said in the source of this custom rom that it may affect camera and the only solution is to go back to the stock rom of my device, But I don't want to go back to my stock rom because it performs poorly compared to this rom that I flashed, I think there is a solution in this problem probably a simple fix on some scripts in the system files I just don't know, I tried flashing some camera resolution enhancements from this site but still can't fix the problem , Any help will be appreciated thanks in advance

Hello everyone,
I have been porting MTK ROMs for quite a while. Not long ago I came up on a ROM on XDA. It's a S5 themed ROM for Micromax A116. The links is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mic...-rom-colossus-s5-theme-rom-v5-0-1006-t2999766
I'm using a Chinese phone of an unknown brand called POMP. The model is Pomp W88A. It has the same Android version as the ROM from the description (Jelly Bean 4.2.2.). Porting wasn't a problem. But after booting the phone, I cannot use the Phone and Messaging apps. I can open them, but the moment I try to make a call or try to enter the type message option, I get a message: Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped. And after that, I get a notification that New sim card has been detected. Note that my phone is Single sim, while the ROM from the provided link is for Micromax A116, which is a Dual sim phone. Then I tried using the Phone and Messagin apks from my original phone's ROM, but that didn't fix the problem either. Same annoying message: Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped. I compared the build.prop files from my stock ROM and PORT ROM, but couldn't find what could be causing the issues. I'm pretty sure it must be something with the build.prop, because I ported that same ROM on my other Chinese phone Star Q9000 (which is a dual sim) and everything was working like a charm. Anyone who could help me solve this? I like touchwiz UI and would be very pleased to use this ROM (since it also includes a lot of cool features). Currently, I'm using a ported AOSP ROM from a dual sim phone aswell, but this one works perfectly.
