Hey everyone. I wanted to know that if a rom can be ported, then what type of rom can be ported? I have ported two successfully. Just needed to know that can I port a Rom of higher version? My device has mediatek processor and version is jellybean with the kernel version ,3.4.5 . Want to port a Rom of the version Marshmallow made for mediatek devices including kernel version 3.4.7. Please guide me for any way to port this Rom. Even if it gets technical. Any information will be appreciated. Thx
Not all of the MTK processor can run fluently marshmallow, for example the MT6589 can run only with KitKat and older version, so first of all be sure that your device processor supports marshmallow.
How can I find that if my processor supports higher veversions other than kitkat? Cant find it on Google

It tells that my hardware failed to support marshmallow
*cough* finger sensor *cough* but the app's positive for lollipop. You know that the marshmallow is a refined version version of lollipop. Maybe, I can get it to work with kernel porting or I have to remove everything that state's "finger sensor" in the Rom?
If the app said that your hardware doesn't support marshmallow you can't run marshmallow

Dude, please explain, why?
Because your hardware can't run marshmallow, it's an old hardware to run marshmallow

Lenovo has releashed Android Kitkat 4.4.2 for S650 which they to many devices with ecactly the same specs (MT6582, dual sim, qhd resolution) more than 20 devices with the same specs... devs can port this rom to many devices.
There is also an CWM flashable rom here for Lenovo S650 with Android Kitkat. But at comments you can see that actually you have to flash it with TWRP

Here you can find the latest version of TWRP

Would love to see or to guide me how to port this rom to another devices with the same chip specs etc.
There is also some progress porting 4.4.2 to another mediatek devices here.

Hello guys,
This phone have 4.4.2 also OTA to 4.4.3:
http://www.pandawill.com/doogee-val...ch-android-44-mtk6582-45-inch-otg-p89143.html
I purchased:
http://www.pandawill.com/cubot-s208...b-android-42-50-inch-3g-otg-black-p88224.html
As you can see these two phones have almost identical specs, what needs to be done to port Kitkat from valecia to S208 i think both use 3.4 kernel too?
Regards,
Magix
I'm also highly interested in this, as i own a X9S myself. It would be great if anyone could give hints on how to port ROMs for this chipset.
Edit: Someone posted a custom cwm recovery for Xiaocai X9S, can confirm that it works (w*w.android-hilfe.de/xiaocai-x9s-forum/509414-x9s-neues-smartphone-von-xiaocai-mit-mtk6582-3.html#post7027102)
Is there anyway I can use Kitkat kernel of a same chipset phone for my device? Actually My phone is having MT6589 SoC and It has not yet got official kitkat update but there is a kernel for MT6589 SoC so i was just wondering if I can use that kernel to run on my device as well So i can port kitkat Rom to my device. Thanks
Greetings From EgyptWell I Would like to take this as a big step in N900 Note 3 Development AS I Started Working on the project For 2 Weeks And i made it boot to boot screen after many suffering and many studies about exynos note 3 processor and goophone i6 Processor MTK Chipset
Glad we got Aosp base which is CM12/CM12.1 And Luckily I Found a 32bit Arm Version ARMV7 Of Goophone IOS Roms Which based on android phones
Android Version of rom is 5.1 and OUR CM IS Android 5.1 Too So I Came here asking for backup in development of this rom and port of it
Help That I Need is :
Kernel Experts
adb logcaters
Postive People
AOSP Special People that can build custom frimwares like 4.4.2 AOSP For Note 3 (IF This People Available We Would Skip alot a head and complie it on i6 Stable Rom 4.4.2)

i need help to know what makes the rom bootloop although all porting i done is 100% correct
@omarilzz
Hello i appreciate ur Hardwork :good:
But the reason for bootloop
Maybe, it is the The Bootloader...
You need to revert back to the old bootloader if u want to use 4.4.2 based roms...
The bootloader was updated to 5.o just before the lollipop update...
I think this is a Kitkat Bootloader
Needs to be installed through odin

Help for installation
Training for installation using video are there?
Dude why don't you wait a bit till you get those files on MM or LP and base the ROM on DeadMan's CM13... The older CMs are really laggy, with no camera, and Yamaha driver issues, huge battery drainage also... I'd recommend you not to work on those, where as the CM13 is almost bug free, at least no noticeable bugs, And the devs are great, they could help you a bit too if we ask them nicely enough... And both the ways I'd love to test your Roms... May it be KK or MM
am still doing the big tests to port over a MTK Chipset Rom To Exynos both are Arm V7a
and installation tutorial will be there
and am trying on both bases Kitkat and lollipop cause both at least have AOSP CM Bases
And Boot Loader of LP Works for Other kitkat Roms But Will Do Still Try and update you guys
Hello everyone !
As everyone knows that we have android 6.0.1 and 7.0.x available for Jflte devices i was wondering if maybe a jflte developer could build a rom that is TouchWiz
based on CM/LOS and have android 6.0.1/7.1.x like the rom we got earlier [MIUI 8 based on CM with android 6.0.1] by @mikussj3 .....
i don't know if it's possible to build it or port it that's why i started this thread
I hope i'm in the right section of the forum..
Thanks in advance
TouchWiz can't be based on Lineage.
And porting the TouchWiz stuff to Lineage requires a lot of work. Something that developers don't really want to do or don't have time to do it.
I may be wrong, but I haven't seen a single Lineage/CM ROM that has the TouchWiz framework.
And android 6, 7 TouchWiz ROMs can't be ported to jflte devices because ROM ports I believe have to come from a phone with similar processor type and architecture.
The only S4 that runs Android 6 TouchWiz ROMs is the klte (GT-I9506), which has a Snapdragon 800 processor. So it's similar to the S5, and that made ports possible or easier.

Guys it's not impossible to port android 6.0.1 TouchWiz to GS4 i9505 its just hard to do so. There will be a lot of code changes and stuff like that.

And even then, if some developer ports MM TW, it will be very buggy, and by the time the bugs got fixed, everybody will move on to newer devices.
Think about this way: if that would be possible, a port would already be done.

And that's the problem right there the s4 is dying with everyday passes.
I'm having HTC Desire 626G+, Running DOT OS 1.1 (Android 7.1.2).
And i'm looking for Oreo (8.0) roms for my device or my chip set (MT6592).
But i'm unable to find one, so i'm going to port a rom for myself!
And i want to know one thing...
Are there any tutorials regarding porting Android of higher version (8.0) to a device having a lower Android version (7.1.2).
All I need is, does the normal 'porting' method applies for the above or not. If not, please suggest me a tutorial.
Thanks in advance!!!
