[Q] Questions about porting Blisspop Rom to Xperia Z1 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
After much Youtube and Google searching for good Lollipop Roms, I came across Blisspop (v20), which looks like a pretty interesting Rom. I checked XDA and their official builds, but they don't seem to have a build available for Xperia Z1. So I'm thinking of porting Blisspop to my Z1 (if I can!). But before I try porting, I have some questions.
1. On Bliss Team's download website (http://downloads.blissroms.com/) they have their own Bliss kernel. I'm pretty sure the kernel won't work for Xperia since it's not built for it. What kernel should I use to safely flash this ROM without risk of hard brick (or brick of any kind)?
2. Is camera fixed yet? I've heard that it's still broken on CM12, but that's probably for the older CM12 kernel?
3. What's different between the builds with other devices? Should I download the Hammerhead build and try to modify it?
4. Is it difficult to port for an inexperienced person (I have no programming knowledge.)
Sorry, I'm really new to this.

I would like to know if there was a version of the Rom PacMan in KitKat for Xperia SP in LB?
The KitKat version exists in Nightly Huashan is it possible to adapt him for the LB on SP?
Thank you in advance!

I have had the same query. It is quite possible to port all these CM11 ROMs for LB too. PA and SlimROM work on KK on LB. Why should they not? If someone makes an effort, it can be achieved.
I also have LB, I have planned to try to port them somehow. But its my first time ever. Downloading the source for CM11 now. Possibly I might be able to. I don't know

Good luck !
If ever this is the version KitKat with CM 11 and PA 4.44 (latest version I believe) :

Yes it's possible to port or compile all KK roms for LB.
But bringing a new port is useless if you don't improve and maintain it for a long time.
Compiling using available trees is very easy as 1 2 3.
Improving is the tough part.
By the way, I am planning to bring one more Rom beside paranoid android.

This choice is difficult...
PAC seems better now that i have seen some threads and devices.
RR is also good, but have to choose one. PAC gerrit and git looks more mature. Stay tuned for the thread.

[Q] Galaxy S GT-i9000 lollipop?

i heard that cyanogenmod wont be releasing cm12 or lollipop for gt i9000, is that true? does anyone know any rom that is trusted and stable? i really want lollipop! ?
Yes, it's true
Checkout the I9000 dev page... Few options available now with LP
...
i think that there is unofficial lollipop, you should search Google (or just replace you phone )
Yes, there's a Lollpipop build for I9000. In the development section a user named "humberos" posted a link to an OmniROM build for your mobile phone. It's a pretty good OS. I recommend you the 5.1.1 build, not the older ones.

This is not my Rom but it does look like an official build, it is 4.4.3 which may have problems with newer firmware , I have gotten bootloops but I am having problems with my m7spr and will be downgrading to try this and attempt to use Rom

I guess this only shows on the Chinese website? [I looked on en.miui.com] Is it still KK based?
Are we not better off following STRYDER~007's guide and building on a LP AOSP base if so?

Its 4.4.4 and it would be better to build from source , as I have damaged my m7spr and switched back to the nexus 7 grouper ,I can not build or make this ROM without testing , I have only had problems with boot.IMG but it is pretty easy ,as of now there should be a 6.0 source I have seen it was ported to a new device
I'd be all for giving it a go. I think that sticking to 5.1.1 for now would make the most sense, 6.0 isn't anywhere near ready to daily at this point. - I could give the @STRYDER~007 method a go, but I'm not aware of any non CM bases. I don't have the room to compile from https://android.googlesource.com/ and I don't know of a "clean" AOSP ROM. Any suggestions there?
...I may give CM12 a try, it just seems that leaving as little room for error as possible would be ideal.

Is it possible for me to manually port Miui 7 (LP) edition to the xperia Z1?

i have been waiting for miui 7 lollipop edition for the xperia z1 for the longest. now i dont know how to really build kernels be i can somewhat port roms.
i see that select xiaomi phones have a lollipop version of Miui v7 and i would love to get my hands on it. now i ask, is remotely possible to do this? i assume so but no one has taken the time to do it?
not to mention that our current miui v7 can work on stock kernel with a locked bootloader. now im not asking all that but i would like to get this project underway

Miui is proted using patchrom which currently supports only kitkat at the moment, someone suggested on one thread in the miui forum that lollipop might be skipped and patchrom for MM will be released, purely speculation of course but just like any OEM these guys are slow at releasing updates.

I don't think they will make a patch rom for mm. If they wanted to they would have been done so.
Also do I have to use patch ROM? I want to do it manually. Perhaps I'll port one thing at a time. Trial and error.
~xperia Z1~
Well I'm a little hard headed so out of boredom and free time I'll slowly port and read debug for errors and dependencies starting with the home launcher, then system settings etc
~xperia Z1~
take a look at this, its been done. someone has miui v7.1 on a non miui phone.
theres a way i guess.
http://www.gizdev.com/rom-miui-7-1-global-stable-with-swap-patch-rom-for-lenovo-a7000/
what if we ported that rom (or any rom in gereral) itself from that lenovo-a7000 to the xperia Z1?

7.0 port from nexus 4?

as the snapdragon s4pro and 600 are very similar and other than minor things the nexus 4 and m7 are close phones on the hardware level, how hard would it be to port this rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/orig-development/wip-aosp-7-0-nougat-t3448444
would someone be willing to give it a go?
I have not been in the dev scene since pre 5.0 and things have changed enough that it would be almost starting from scratch for me I figured someone with experience porting modern roms would be better suited for the task.
Why should someone port this rom? We have already two nice working 7.0 Roms for the M7 well both are not in final release yet but you can use Slim7 as daily driver its pretty good http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/orig-development/rom-slim-7-t348665. Porting a Rom is a lot of work and Slim7 is AOSP so i think thats better
Porting ROMs isn't that easy, even with similar hardware. Building AOSP-based ROMs isn't easy as well. I'm working on it since two months, but it has its complications. If you want stock-like Nougat ROMs, I highly recommend the Slim7 beta, which isn't loaded with a ton of apps, or wait until I figure out the build of Nougat ROMs and get a working build of AOSP-OMS (which is pure AOSP but using CyanogenMod's sources and build system, so it's easy to build for the m7)
