you are bored? since you are bored, why dont you port it by yourself.

i don;t like to do a "dirty port"
so none of my works is a dirty port rom from other phone
we like building a rom from "source"
why other phone have a port rom?
because they don't have a source code for tree, kernel and vendor
you should be happy because somebody did a big job,
doing a project from scratch ..., writing a code and similar
and port rom is just like, copy and paste files from other rom
honestly i don't like this method , and i never doing this....

port...?? Are u serious...? Their phone, development, chipset every every everything is different. Porting ICS rom is not simple like porting an apk file.
I thought kkrraazzyy and rockyseenu ported their ROMs from i9000 ROMs.
Again, no doubt it's very tough and you need to be quite experienced to port these ROMs. Surely, not a project for a new person.

Ya same thing I want to say that porting a rom to a completely different phone is very tough job. You should know exactly what u want to develop & port.
u can port any rom from any dvice that have the same cpu as our device (armv7) heres a link for a porting guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598713

Regarding custom rom (development or say porting) ...

Actually was wondering and searched for so many sd 615 smartphones out there which have original official development ...
one of the sd 615 running phone is Yu Yureka in india ....
for any porter or developer active here can you please check out if those roms can be ported for our device i.e MI4I ?
very much excited to try out new roms ...

To be honest
We use tomato as reference for our device tree...
What do you mean of "original official development"
The rom being official bcuz they have official maintainer for that rom
But at the end... The tree is same,
The conclusion is..
If device a have stable tree ,but they don't make it official for rom a
Is it still called stable?
Or if device a have stable tree, and their tree approved at rom b
Is it called stable?
It's still same right?
"for any porter or developer active here can you please check out if those roms can be ported for our device i.e MI4I ?"
You can build it from source
Which rom you like... And compile it,voila yougot the same rom...

i don't have that much knowledge about all that , but i have heard about the same chipset roms can be ported so that's why i asked for a reference from someone here ...
sad to know that we don't have development for MI4i even though it is such a good device ...

Actually i asked for ports if that can be done from Yureka ..
And ultimately my need is few good custom roms nothing else ... Maybe many others are also looking for custom roms for mi4i .
Well question aside , which kernel would you suggest for good battery backup on XOSP ? I am using XOSP since last Night .. , i dont do gaming or hard multitasking .. Just need good battery backup .. Any kernel which u'll suggest ?

As a owner mi 4i ,I am very disappointed with this device.If there was or is no devs for this device ,I will smash mi4i on the wall.. Lol.FYI ,devs in here had done very good job for our mi 4i.They are the main reason that I still have mi 4i.The main problem of mi 4i is heating problem for snap. 615(Idk why other phones with same chipset don't have that much problem) or maybe there is some kind of hardware bug .So devs can't do nothing about this.
You can't demand any development from devs.
Did you try all ROMs available here?I am using cm 13 with sensei kernel.Lag free ,good battery backup.
Be thankful to devs for their hardwork for our device.

Sir,I have used latest miui.Battery back up is somehow good but when multitasking,it is going crazy...
I have one question ,why every custom rom here is based on 6.6.10?Is there was any advantage of basing on that version ?
I just want to request all the developers to please develop more Roms for mi4i.. please don't abandon this poor device...

Hi guys I try port the cyanogen mod 13 of the this page http://www.mtkcrom.com/2016/04/cm-13601-cyanogenmod-13-for-mtk6582.html

You can try compiling for the device you mention and then porting the ROM you compiled to your device.

If there is no source for your device then you can't compile for your device, you'll have to piece everything together yourself.
Porting from another device is your best option.

You should be porting the kernel along with the ROM from the other device. From what I've seen in my time here at XDA, it's quite difficult to port across android versions and also somewhat difficult to port across differing MTK chipsets. I haven't owned or used any MTK devices so I don't know enough about them to help. I can only advise you in general about the direction you need to take.

Why Copy and Paste?

Most of the rom found here are just copy and paste with small edit.
In the lineage os based roms all roms are same including same bugs, only the theme is newly installed and new name is given to the rom, who needs it? just to chill the developer heart rom is downloaded that's all. Developers stop wasting your precious time in creating junk rom.
Stop creating junk Rom and Create a proper official or unofficial lineage os rom without bug and making fp gestures and ultra power save key customisable.
Finally
Developers create only
1--------lineage os Rom
2-------Paranoid android rom
3-------Aosp rom
4-------ressurection remix Rom (los based)
5-------AEX Rom (aosp based)
We just need a Stable Rom, and not a rom with full of bugs, if we want themes we will try subtratum, and create our own theme with ThemeDIY.
Better luck !! Any mistake let me know it in comment section.

Yes they are but all roms have extra/different added features than los,, and have different stability, smoothness, battery backup etc
Just to chill dev rom is downloaded wtf u talking about???u even know whats an custom rom is?
You think fixing fp gestures etc is easy??then why not fix it yourself than demanding for an fix..even dev have their own life..if u want an stable rom build it yourself,,they dont get payed and there and many roms than what u have mentioned..peace

Haha how much extra hour battery life you get?
What different feature? WhAt's new?
Most of android 7.x is same as another 7.x nothing is new, it's just a copy and paste.only user interface is different because of theme that's all. Developers Better don't waste your precious time in copy and paste.
Every rom has its own pros and cons, but for creating new rom based on something the existing Rom with bug can be solved.
I started creating a custom rom myself.
WE DON'T WANT REPLACEMENT ROM, ALL WE WANT IS RELIABLE ROM OR NOTHING. ✌✌✌
Its so much true in your statement. But you must remember, don`t like it = don`t use it. It`s xda, the biggest android community in Internet, everybody can share their work here (of course if its not against rules). Your right is to use only what you like to use. Of course its better to have only few, but rock solid roms, than 100 buggy crappy sh**... But do you think this thread could change anything? Good luck, finger crossed, but unfortunately I think that this place will be quite hot battleground. Regards

U started creating a custom rom yourself??y dont u build an stable oreo rom for us??devlopers wont have to waste their precious time if u build one for us?
'every rom has its own pros and cons'???just 2min ago u told that all roms are same with same bugs and only new name is given.
By the way if u want fp gestures,one key then y just use stock rom??

Custom Rom Deveopment for the Lenovo P2

Hello everyone, I got this device about two months ago and am going to start trying to port over some roms from the redmi note 4.
I'v noticed that ROM development has been very slow recently, and even though I'm still a student its the holidays and I want this device to have a better future.
Here is the discord server for the P2 development and general chat.
https://discord.gg/K28XqCU
These devices have similar specs, which is one of the main reasons why I am trying to port roms from the redmi note 4 and not some other device.
I'm going to study more about custom roms, and if I may not be successful in porting one all the p2 community should give it a go as well. Everyone seems to be asking for roms and not many people bother to build/compile them.
I'll post any I find working on here as I go, and if anyone has advice/suggestions I'd be happy to take them, being new to custom roms and all.
If you guys could inform me about other devices with same cpu, screen resolution and camera specs that'd be great.
Currently the base rom I'm working on is AOSP extended v5 and the port rom is lineage os 15. I'v managed to port the boot.img over so far.
If anyone is interested on carrying on or continuing, all files will be uploaded on mega. You'll need android kitchen and other basics to continue development.
Make sure you have a device with unlocked bootloader, twrp recovery and a nanodroid backup in case anything goes wrong.
I am NOT responsible for any bricked devices, ect but I will try to help.

Wish you a best of luck, just make it happen✌

I too was thinking of porting from Redmi note 4.
Could you kindly share the methods of porting. I am a noob in custom ROM porting.
Also suggestions on which roms to be ported.

I'm currently attempting to port Lineage OS 15 from Redmi note 4, with base rom as AOSP Extended.
I'v ported the boot image over but can't find the "system" folder. If anyone would help with this it would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hopefully we can kick this thing off and get some other people involved, that way rom development for the p2 will speed up lots.
I myself am a "noob" at custom rom-ming, trying to follow youtube tutorials for porting roms. If anyone else with a bit more experience jumps on,
we should be able to get this finished quicker.
Let's do our best

I'm probably messing up trying to port lineage os 15 while using AOSP extended v5.0 as base,
however you have to port roms that are the same os as your base.
You can't port a 8.0 rom with a 7.1.2 base.
Let's give a shot.
Don't expect for expert developer, because he/she can be already busy

Anyone willing to contribute can do so, I'll post updates on here as we go, don't expect
anything too soon though.
It is easy to get system dump and modify it cuz most of the files can be replaced easily by using the base rom.
Do you have any idea of creating update script and creating the final dat package? In my opinion this is the tough section i think.

Hmm. I just started developing roms so I'll look into it. It does look quite complicated. If you haven't already, go ahead and join the p2
development discord as it'll be easier to comunicate.
