I'm using a ZTE V970M which is in MT6577. So this guide tells me to find a device running in Kitkat with the same MT6577? or the developers if any can build one for our phone? I mean can build a custom Kitkat ROM for our phone.

I have 3 questions..

1. When you say copy the folders over such as "System/etc/firmware (whole folder).", Do I delete the old one or just copy over top of it?

2. What will happen if I use a PORT ROM that doesn't have similar specs like RAM, screen resolution, etc?

3. I have followed all steps perfectly fine, but in both my BASE ROM and PORT ROM I am missing the folder "Modules" in \system\lib.

if there is settings option in status bar then click it go to apps click playstore cl

, you can quickly and easily remotely install apps to your phone without having to tinker with any settings. Visit the Google Play store from your computer and log in using the Google account that's associated with your phone. Next, find the app that you want to install and go to its information page, then press the Install button for that app.

Select the device you want to install the app on, then press Install.

Once you click Install, you'll be presented with a box that tells you which permissions the app needs (whether it needs to access your contacts or connect to the Internet, for instance), as well as a drop-down list of the devices associated with your Google account. Select the phone or tablet you want to install the app on from this list, then press Install. After a few moments, your phone will begin installing the app. by this method install a launcher hit like if i helped you

brother...when i download my stock rom from the internet, i dont get a Meta Inf folder at all.

That's because you need an android kitchen which creates the meta inf folder

Hey guys, thanks for the guide.

I want to try porting a ROM for the first time between two 64bit devices with the same processor (MTK6753) .

Only differences are:

Base= 2gb ram, 5.2 inch screen and battery capacity 2900mah

Port= 3gb ram, 5.5 Inch screen,

And battery capacity 4160 mah

I am trying to port from the stock firmware (extracting system.img to get system files) to cm 12.1, probably meaning I'll have issues later with meta files... But I'll find a way :)

Are there any files that you recommend replacing to deal with the differences in phone specs.

Thanks a lot

THIS is for ROM developer only

* You can use this rom as your rom base, give me some credit ! *

​

I dump this rom and get OTA sense 5 by my self! don't ask me how i get it and what else OTA i have,

HTC already close the OTA server.

I will share any OTA i found in this thread. of course for HTC Butterfly!

Device : DLXB1_U (x920d HTC Butterfly)
Android Version : JB 4.2.2
HTC Sense Ver : 5.0 (ro.build.sense.version)
Origin : hTC_Asia_TW_
Base/Build Number: 2.02.709.1

BUG: Tell me

"protected" statement when looking at the software version - not removed

FAQ:

[q] can i install this rom? i`m not rom dev...

[a] Yes, this built is stock deodexed rom from leaked sense 5 with stock kernel for ROM developer as rom base. This is stock ROM! no themes, no custom APM..etc

[q] watermark removed?

[a] yes, big thanks to ivicask

[q] i found bug, what to do ?

[a] sent pm to me. don`t flood this threads! make it clean.

[q] when i can get official update sense 5 update?

[a] Maybe today, tomorrow..next month ... go ask HTC. i don`t know..

[q] can i install this...this.. or this.. i`m s-off...i`m s-on..

[a] please, don`t ask. just nandroid your device. do it! and let us know the result. as long you not playing with hboot stuff, it will be ok..but this is not warranty ! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK / RUIN YOUR PHONE IN ANY WAY !

Once all the bug is gone, and more rom / themes coming, i will remove the "DEV" / "beta", this built will be a ROM for everyone with a lot option in aroma installer. you can choose and custom your rom start from stock looking, un rooted with no busybox installed :D

Please use and enjoy it, and if you can make a donation of any amount, I'd appreciate it immensely

You need to wipe everything before flashing the zip. System, data, cache, then flash

It does work. I've tried it and done it on an S-ON device, and -viperboy- does it the same way for the Sprint HTC One since it only has htc-dev unlock, and it also works there.
