How to port Qualcomm rom to mediatek device...
Does anyone knows,,,,,
Is their any method, simple/typical
By exchanging folders or through git... Does any one knows????? ??
No one replied to thread
This os is best for Android phones
If you look at the sources they are not for hdpi devices therfore no development atleast for now as i see it. I also want to see something different from aosp ROMs.
Stock rom modified to xperia ui would be cool too.
For our device it looks aosp ROMs is what senior devs prefer.
Why any developer not work in miui ROM I know your answer but miui7 is good for Android phones
me too waiting for miui....some replied that i should bought xiomi phones rather than Android one..and some says that miui v7 cant be portable to our device cause of hdpi...but tgen why no devs are interested to port the miui v6???its already ported for our chipset just have to make it work for android one..... http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/03/442-miui-v6-for-mtk-6582.html
Mods please move this thread to appropriate section
If you like it so much, then why don't you compile it? Devs are tired of requests for MIUI. THEY DON'T WANT TO DO IT.
Hey guys, if anyone is interested in porting miui 6, then contact me on fb, as I don't have enough bandwidth to download the ROM, I can guide you all through the way, all I need is a guy (or even a girl ) who has some at least basic knowledge & is ready to waste some time with me :v (as porting can't always be successful)...

Heya guys,
as we all know, Xiaomi published a Microsoft based OS for the Mi4 device.
Is there any possible way of backporting it to our devices, due to very similar hardware of both of the devices?
Thanks
Post this thread in general section.. Not in development section..
You can't port a closed source rom to my knowledge.

Hiiii, I own a Lenovo A7000-a nd I want to port a rom bt i don't know, whether i can use MT6752 Custom ROMs...... I m not able to find a same Soc device for Lenovo A7000......I m newbie in this......and want to do only simple Porting ( Mtk To Mtk, Same Soc)
For Ex---- Can i use Lenovo K3 Note Custom Roms for Porting them in Lenovo A7000.

No you can't use any other roms for porting to Lenovo a7000-a. Only lenovo a7000 custom roms are supported by the device, if you try experimenting by porting different roms you get errors and mostly your device will be dead (both software and hardware) in worst case scenario.

It's a big process bro, and very complicated process includes coding and embedded content which needs alot of user experience and skills. A minute mistake can leads to serious damage of device software. You can directly port or flash many custom roms available for lenovo a7000-a, but for changing the custom files in base rom is a very kinky process. You need to undergo some courses of coding and developer experience to do that. That's how every developer creates and develops a custom rom. :good:

It's easy. If you want to port from same soc, k3 is best. Almost all ported ROMs are from k3 note.
I hope you know which files to replace in base ROM.
If you don't know, then there is a guide on k3 note forum made by dev sandeep.sethi for porting. Since k3 and a7k have same chipset, you can read the section of same chipset porting instead of cross-porting(this is for different soc).

Bro you got your facts super-duper messed up. No developer needs to know coding for porting a ROM. The process is very simple. There is no such thing that you say. Also, he was asking to port a ROM, and you're saying to port a ROM from a7k... You need to correct your terms ftw.
Porting is actually only replacing files. It involves no coding.
//My request to users, please don't post anything on XDA that you haven't experienced or don't completely know. Little knowledge is more dangerous than knowing nothing.

But it's risky process for new users bro. Experienced developers like you can do it. But new users or beginners can mess it up and end up with a bricked device

No it's not risky at all. Mtk devices can not be bricked by software.
I was once a beginner too. How experienced am I? Too little. Look at when I opened my first development thread... Swift AOSP. It's not very old.
If you want to do it, even you can do so without any harm... Especially from same chipset.

Didn't understand the question :/
ive taken the liberty of requesting the mokee team to port the rom over to the qualcomm E4+ model. i know we have a partially working lineage so that should help them. id just love to see development happen. especially when most devs are now working on oero roms. please take the time to request or like my post on the mokee teams google plus page. :good:

Lots of hope for other rooms too. Moto released source for our device I'm downloading it now and taking a look once it's done
