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.

First ROMs have been compiled ?
Check ROMs section for aex 4.6 March sec patch and rr 5.8.5 December sec patch ?
Please do tell me if I'm doing anything wrong, as I am in no means a expert at this, just another p2 user wanting to give our devices a new life.
Thanks,

Wish you a best of luck, just make it happen✌
Haha thanks. Any advice/ things I should watch out for?
With you mate
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,
B50Corei5
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

Requesting help from experienced developers in finishing the ROM.
BTW are you using highwaystar's lineage os as base.

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

Haha, thanks. I created a discord channel for it, link is all the way at start of thread.
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.

We have finished unpacking the system.dat files for both port and base, and are going to start porting things across later today.

hello guys, I got this iphone 4s clone mt6575. since then, ive always wanted to get a new rom for this phone. i've worked on porting some CyanogenMod 7 on this device but it doesnt boot. please help me im just a newbie and im sorry for my bad english:crying:
this is the backup of my stock rom
www dropbox com/s/mma4wgc1n6uw1jr/NastyJeax_build.V1.0.0.rar
dont be bothered with the build coz i made some modifications of this. lol
hope you guys help me with this. PLEASE.
you cannot get cyanogenmod running on your particular device at this time. a cyanogenmod based on this chipset is in work, but is barely working yet. (just SystemUI starts, everything will FC).
ouch.. . that doesn't sound good.. anyway, can u give me links to the cyanogenmod development of this chipset? please

They are gonna need it as without the full and proper kernel source code for each and every device that runs that chip it will never work completely. This is the reason CM doesnt support cheap knock offs.

I had CM10 on my Jiayu G3 with the 6577. I'm sure it could be done someday. It actually ran quite smoothly. It just had a few bugs with some apps and had a battery drain but was otherwise rock solid.
think its possible for this chipset (MT6575) coz i found some posts proving that they have sucesfully ported CM7 and i actually tried to port using thier ROM with no luck at all. why my system apps starting with "BR" like BRMms.apk?
Anyone going to be working on these as ports when they come out?

First of all, porting firmware from one device to another is extremely unlikely to function properly. If you can even get it to boot (the hardest part), a LOT will be broken as it was not built relevant to the hardware. Porting a custom ROM is even more pointless when it can be built specifically for your device.
OxygenOS has not been released yet, but it's likely to have features that other custom ROMs already have/can easily replicate.
Porting "CM12S" from the OnePlus One to the Nexus 5 is ultimately pointless. CM12 can be built from source anyways, then you can just take the few additional extra apk files from CM12S and paste them in.
Has anyone seen the REMIX ROM coming out? They are releasing a version for the Nexus 10. Potential port for the TF700T?

Where's their source repository?
When they release the ROM for the N10 and with it the source then it should be possible unless they have done something really peculiar. There is no way of knowing anything yet for sure though because it's not released.
REMIX ROM
I donated to the Kickstarter and will get a copy of the ROM, but am a NUBE to making one rom for our Machine. I will send my copy to any SUPER editor and count me in as a tester.
Should get it in May. Interesting the way they put up to 3 Apps side by side for multiwindow support.

I don't know if this would help anyone, but for the N7 grouper, someone created a similar OS to RemixOS called PhoenixOS. You can find the link for it in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/general/phoenix-os-nexus-7-grouper-t3299266
I tried it today on my N7 and it brought it back to life really well. The main issue most people had (and one developer was able to figure out for the last release, not current) was finding a way to get google play store on their device.
I have a few days working on a port redmi build the three as they have a similar hardware but I can not make it boot , if you can help me,the base is cm12.1.
Miui v8 for test CM12.1 BASE (No boots...):https://goo.gl/0aEIqK

Newest mi4i firmware will be installed when installing the build...
Sorry for my bad English
To be honest
Most custom rom here(based on aosp)using 6.6.10 firmware ..
Take a look at yureka thread,they do the same,a dirty build ....,maybe u can use it as base
What is the reason to update just a launcher (frankly speaking MiUI for me is just well designed android launcher) and left an old android 5? Let's just wait for stable ROM from Xiaomi and pray for getting MM.
BTW thanks for the job done ?
Anyone tried it is it boot ?

As OP mentioned its not booting.
dont waste time with this.. they wil probably release a stable build, everyone is going bezerk as there is no dev rom, but they had discontinued dev rom bfr miui8 even released! so chances of getting a stable build is still pretty decent! so no point in doing this

Thanks for being so polite.
And It's a development section, he is trying and taking help from other developers. He is NOT here to answer your queries.
Let him cook first, buddy.
Global miui 8 release date is 30 june. Hopefully we will have the developer rom for our device. No need to worry:fingers-crossed:
is there any chance to make a custom rom for this phone obi sf1 cause the stock rom is so buggy and the company is no longer supporting it.
i hope anyone can help.

If you want a ROM, you have 3 options.
1) buy another device like you have and donate it to a developer so they can build a ROM for it, they have to have the device to do the work.
2) learn to build it for yourself.
3) wait until someone that knows how builds a ROM for your device.
The 2nd option is probably the fastest way to get your ROM.
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
Thanks
I found a lot of topic talking about building ROM and porting another device ROM which process do you think more easier.
Any working rom you got?
