[Android General] Rohan Taneja:
Sorry guys, I am not much active on this thread, mainly due to outdated arm architecture.

This had been a reference guide only, output may or may not perfect yet debugging is needed at the end.

Not everything can be spoon-fed. (Sorry if that meant rude to someone)

As you the recent poster,

Well you can check updater-script and compare what all symlinks are failing in TWRP or what ever recovery you have used. Just get a recovery.log in that case :)

I did follow this guide and after trial and error and the only thing i got (was trying to port a lineageos rom) was getting stuck at starting apps.

Although, something crossed my mind. So i did only step 2 and 4 (on step 3 it was similar when i looked on my device mount points) and IT WORKS! not stuck anymore!

I would like to thank the guy who made this thread. Good job dude!
[Android General] Marvin732:
The Thread may be too old but i really need help, how can i fix the offline charger bug? when i turn the phone off and plug the USB charger in, it keeps being stuck at the battery logo and i cant turn the screen off either, i ported LineageOS 14.1 to the THL T6 Pro and i am working out the bugs atm, i am trying out the wifi fixes (it refuses to connect at the first few tries but it works afterwards) and the offline charger aswell.

Hi.

Don't have a base rom because can't find one of my phone. (Pomp W99).

I only have a cwm backup. How can i use this as base? Is it possible to use the cwm backup as base?

Or can the backup be "modded" to a update.ZIP?

[Android General] Rohan Taneja:
You Forget to take a backup of the Stock rom. :rolleyes:

Don't worry I found a working OS for you device.

Here You Go:mrc_a2_4.0_xxx.zip

Flash by Wiping Whole Device!

May be there be a System Partition problem as you mentioned. Don't worry do take any additional folder in device's root/system/ & copy that into the port rom :)

Bro! Your Welcome for testing the guide on your device. :)

I wan't to tell you that Not All Custom rom support feature of Factory Reset, until or unless they are based on Stock Firmware.

So resetting your device using a custom rom may cause brciking :eek:

Hi guys,

I'm looking to port a Rom for my octacore MTK6592 device that is as close as possible to the nexus experience. Pure Google. Is there a Rom like this for these devices?
[Android General] Rohan Taneja:
Nothing much will be effected ! Check whether the resolution matches!

try changing libandroid_runtime.so

No bro! It gonna BRICK !

There's a tool there to port CWM Recovery to MTK6575 and MTK6577 device! Probably search for such tool, so that you'll be able to port the recovery...

That's next to impossible ! Coz.. of different Hardware! It'll become hard to port!

Your Welcome! Do Share Your work with all of us...

:)

Bro! As MTK6592 is new in the market, less dev support could be there now! wait till the MT6592 devices publicity get to peak!

And You'll be able to get cool roms, and other stuff! ;)

Same chipset, same OS but different version, different screen resolution, different hardware buttons...would it work? Did not even boot.
[Android General] Rohan Taneja:
Same Chipset is OK

Same OS but Different Version, need verification. Tell the OS Version

Different Screen Resolution Not Good, find a similar screen resolution device.

Different Hardware Button is OK
[Android General] iZLeeP:
That's the problem, the best I could find is same chipset and OS version, but different screen resolution and hardware buttons. Some ports were partially successful, but with features missing like radio and camera, UI not fitting on screen, etc.

1: the screen brightness does not reduce at all..always at 100 no matter what i do...infact even when i press the power button to sleep, the screen changes to black but there is still light beneath the screen.

2: camera is functioning abnormally .you know how when you have a new rom or phone and open the camera for the first time it shows you a blue finger trying to explain how the camera works by sliding here and there..well my camera shows me that blue finger every time i open it..even if i just opened it 5 seconds ago and closed it.

how to port roms having modem_sys2.img instead modem.img in firmware folder?
[Android General] Rohan Taneja:
That's a issue with framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk smali's may be due to different "dpi", you are facing it!

And for camera, you must try modifying ramdisk my changing permissions in the init!

No one can port Higher SDK android version to Lower SDK android version, you require device's source tree, and require a lot of modification to be made to make 4.4 work on your device!

Probably take a check whether the Android version is fake or what! Because some companies are adding fake Android Version & modified Easter Egg to new upcoming MTK devices to make people believe in them! :eek:

Not only NeedRom is the site for ROMs, you can get Rom from other forums like HKphone or 4pda, check the devices with same spec.. :)

Replace the Port's vold.fstab with Stock one! So that you can check whether the storage is visible, otherwise modify the META-INF.google/android/updater-script accordingly by checking codes related to sdcard or vold.fstab

You can rename the modem.img to modem_sys2.img that's it and replace in the port ROM :angel:

will this work for Mtk 6572 with ubifs file system??

BTW Don't quote whole OP ! :eek: :silly:
[Android General] princemouli:
so it means ...

it is impossible to port even android 4.1 to 4.0 ????
[Android General] Rohan Taneja:
Yup! It is. So you can only port from the device with same SDK version :fingers-crossed:

Hi I m porting a rom from Micromax A116 to Micromax A210. Evrything working but the brightness keeps full and device doesnt wake when we sleep it. Any solution?
[Android General] kermage:
The brightness issue is very common, after reboot leave the device for a moment to restore its set brightness, usually 3-5 secs.

Regarding the sleep and wake, check the applied tweaks, there must be conflicts.

Hi,

Not sure if you knew or not but in many ROM's there is a vold.fstab.bak or nand file which will change your copied over vold.fstab file back to the original ;)

So just check to see if that exists in your base ROM and either delete or rename it.

[Android General] Rohan Taneja:
Umm.. Thanks :)

Sorry! Due to different Kernel modules MT6589 SoC can't be ported to latest MT6572 SoC's

Check Other updater-sciprt available for your device! Take from different ROM

Did You modifed the RAMDISK?

That may be issue with ROM performance or some issue with your Power Button!

You need to modify SystemUI and framework-res. Take logcat and identify the issue behind it!

Sorry Man! This Tutorial is tested for MT6582, MT6589, MT6577, MT6572 only...

Urgh! That's easy :)

Check for a line in build.prop

Named - ro.sf.hwrotation, if the value is "180" change it to "0" :angel:

[Android General] Rohan Taneja:
You can try changing DPI of your device or particular app (using xposed modules) and use any icon resizer to resize images or icons of the port rom.

Try to find out device with same preloader version and with new android version. I can help you get similar device and easier to port latest firmware from that device with less risk of bricking.

Btw MTK = unbrickable you can easily fix if you haven't harmed preloader. :o
