Sorry mate. I'm sure devs are working on it. But the link you provided is solely for kernel only. There are many device specific codes required to start off with the custom firmware. Guess we'll have to wait at the moment.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Can you please educate me on the device specific codes that are required for a custom rom?

Well to say the truth, I do not know how to put it in words. You see it's the codes that are published by vendors for the device, and some by developer themselves. It contains some proprietary codes mostly in "*.mk" files, some "*.c" files and so on. Device codes can be cloned from similar devices like for our device, we could clone Nexus 5X's source codes for CyanogenMod or for similar ROMs. But still vendor codes for the device is mandatory to get a working device with fewer flaws. And device codes, maybe devs are working on it. We need to be patient until someone comes up...

Android 4.2 is available for mediatek 6577.Yes i am telling the truth but the problem is no one has posted it here.
For example these mobile runs on android 4.2 and the chipset is mediatek 6577

So if anyone of you had purchased one of these devices kindly upload system folder of it + boot.img.It will be a huge help for all mediatek based devices.
Thank you.
sURE , I HAVE MICROMAX A89
lol
JB 4.2 on MT6577?
Even with the rom and kernel, you will need ALOT more to work with.
And did you forget Mediatek is Closed Source?
Wish you good luck, you will need it !

I actually read it
My reply was based in, what use can u actually have for JUST **hint**hint** the base system and Kernel source code?
Being the rest Closed Source, there isn't much you can do with JUST that.
Don't take it personal, i just hate these Comp. that dont comply with the Android GPL License.

Hello everyone,
I've heard people saying it was not possible to develop ROMs for Lenovo phones due to lack of source code.
Today while visiting the support site I see that Source code for several phones like P700i(MTK6577),S660(MTK 6582m),A7-30 Tablet(MT8382 ) are present at the lenovo website.
LINK:http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en
Just enter the name of your phone model in the search bar to check if source code is available.
Hope to see some ROMs coming soon.:good:
thnx mate
hey thnx buddy....you saved d day...
Downloading now and will check source files.
Okay I hope this would help in ROM development

Is this the required source code or something is missing?

Sorry, but I can't really answer your question since I'm not a developer. I'm only enthusiastic about android and right now am learning how to build from source so don't get your hopes up.
Looks like they have the sources for my A369i too.
probably I'm going to buy a lenovo s660, hoping to have good news from ROM developers
any news?
pls help

you have to compiled that in linux, if u want to make a custom kernel/recovery/ROM then merge or patch it with custom source code. u can find the tutorial here in xda
download link been removed !
Provide a downloading link. Pls

They do not provide kernel source code for their devices.

I believe Micromax fails to provide sources too and I have seen their devices sub-forums on here

The diff is that Micromax doesnt have the source as all they do is import the devices from China and rebrand it, Xiaomai just refuses to release it.
Hello,
I'm trying to create a CM port for my Getnord Onyx device.
As far as I know, to do this I need kernel source code with all of it's patches. So I contacted manufacturer and nicely asked them to give me the source code, but they didn't reply.
What should I do? And I don't think that GNU General Public Licence is going to help me here (or can it, if so: how do I use it?)
Thank you!
The Linux kernel is licensed under GNU and they are required to release the kernel but alot of Chinese manufacturers don't do it. You can use a prebuilt kernel for cyanogenmod but don't expect new Android versions.

Is it possible to somehow decompile Kernel from my phone?

No, but you can use the prebuilt kernel for cyanogenmod but you won't be able to upgrade Android versions
Having the same issue with Blu. using the prebuilt kernel, is there any chance a newer Android version than what it came with would work?

When they said there is no source code, that means the manufacturer or your service provider has not released the source code to the public, that means there won't be any custom ROMs for you until they release the source code, they might not ever release your source code to the public. You are wasting your time looking for a ROM.
