Is that so easy? I'm a noob in porting. Is it possible to get an Lineage OS 14.1 or 15.1 for example when I have an MTK arm64 device with MT6750 Chipset that stucks on Android 7.0?

Of course :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/guide-android-rom-development-t2814763
This method isn't called porting but building from source , and that's how (almost) every people who want to port a ROM do .

Hello!
I wonder if there is a Android 7 (or even 8) ROM available for my Sony Xperia E3 D2203. It seems that the last "supported" ROM is Android 6
If there is any Android 7 ROM just let me know
Thanks

I'm trying to compile Lineage OS 14.1 (android 7.1.2) for our phone with 3.4.0 kernel. If I get it, I am about to upload the rom here.
Most of the sources are in SonyLOS repository (if you want to experiment)
By the time, seems that system can be compiled succesfully but not the kernel, which gets built into boot.img but phone fails to start.

can some of you guys help me with the test point of d2203
i hard bricked it and the only solution i might have is that!!
please/? or how to find the testpoint
I have a 2243, that works almost like 2203. It is a GSM with LTE. (I don't really know the difference between them ) If anyone want to use it as a laboratory, just tell me I already do this. I had flashed so may ROM's at my own risk.... One more won't make difference at all haha
I'm facing some problems with RAM (compilation stops at 40% becouse of the memory) so the rom may come later, when I can fix all the issues.

mmm. I see,will give a try later.
CPU-Z lists the J2 Prime (G532G variant) with a MT6737T board and a MT6735 hardware. Don't know whym
G532G also runs on Android Marshmallow, so a LOS 13 port might be better, but LOS 14 still has some features that might not be present on LOS 13.
Also: the device lacks "some" free storage (user space) and prevents a user to make a SD card as an adoptable storage (only in the OS itself. Using adb to convert sdcard to adoptable storage works fine)

This is a test build. Flash at your own risk! Many things may not be working and you may encounter bootloop. Please do not flash if you don't know whast you're doing!
This is my first porting of a rom...be understanding
Requirements
- Bootloader Unlocked
- Recovery TWRP
Do a full wipe (data, system, dalvik and cache), flash MIUI 9 (Global Rom porting from Note 4 MTK) and enjoy it!

I thought so since Nokia hasn't released its source codes yet.
I'm looking at the specs of the note4 mtk, and I see that the chipset is Mediatek MT6797 Helio X20.
I'm not sure that would work with the nokia 3

Mi A1 has different partition scheme. The rom should work for Nokia and Mediatek.

Guys, I just got my hands on NK3(Nokia 3) today, hoping I will be able to do something for it soon.
AND regrading the quoted reply to link(guide) , I wrote that simple guide and it's not and never meant for porting Miui Roms.
FOR now, I have not tested the acclaimed Miui for NK3 , and as some says it's fake it might be true but to clear all doubts, someone should take the risk and try.
If I get free time too, I will try it personally to see.

first of all thanks for the guide. I want to clarify that I drew inspiration not only from yours, but also from this http://www.osbusters.net/2015/11/how-to-port-miui-7-rom-to-qualcomm-smartphones.html, which is designed for processors qualcomm but that is fine in general and is based on a comparison of fstab files of the boot.img through the meld software.

Please no matter what you do or can do, its not recommended to do use a number of peoples' device to test a project it your ain't certain.
in the previous replies, someone mentioned that you did same to Mi A1 which you got those devices bricked, please and please , its better you get a tester to test your stuffs for you than to push to publicc for all dudes to bricked thier device.
Remember, they used money to purchase the NK3.
Thanks.
Yeah completely hard bricked my phone I think, have to wait until I can be back with it to see if it is possible to unbrick it.
Seems like when I tried it earlier, it didn't even boot into the preloader....
Can anyone here see if https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-11836.html is possible?
Hi,
I need someone who can build at least android 8 rom for a spreadturm device (Logicom L-Ement 403). I know too many devs won't build rom for a spreadturm device, but i need TWRP and LOS 14.1 to install GSI.

Currently there is no GSI working on this model AFAIK. Wait for device specific ports instead.

I am using Project elixir for almost 2 weeks now. So far so good.
I suggest you dont flash it but instead usi it via DSU. Autobrightness is not working, fingerprint too. There are gcam ports wich are also compatible with our device. Battery life is better than miui. Even adding a card to google wallet works fine, until a reboot.

You shouldve just used google to understand better. But basically its a subsystem method wich was implemented to allow a/b partition devices to be able to run gsis' for testing purposes, without the need of flashing and deleting the original os. Think of it as dualboot for android. The only thing is that if you're using it via dev settings, you dont have the choice of selecting what to boot, but your device will directly download google's official gsi (wich is not very functional and its ugly).
Thats why you just need to download the DSU Sideloader app from PlayStore. The app will do everything with a gsi of your choice if you follow the instructions.
The only thing wich is mandatory is that the BL of your device must be unlocked in order to use dsu.
There are videos on YT showing this. If you want to try the gsi I mentioned, download it from their website.

No problem, I dont mind explaining, but there are pretty detailed articles, wich may enlighten you better than I can do it.
