When will Adobe make a flash version for our phones? They said they're started to co-operate with Qualcomm and will make a fully working flash for our ARM6 devices, but does anyone have an ETA of that?

Hi,
I'm trying to get started on customizing devices. Since most manufacturers are obliged to release the Linux kernel of their Android devices, and these are often freely downloadable, what are the steps required to download, rebuild, and flash the rebuilt kernel to the device? Is there some tutorial for this, and how device dependent is this? Does this require a rooted device and an unlocked boot loader?
Thanks.
Anyone? Would really like to get started but not sure where to.
Nobody knows or cares?
I'd suggest starting here

Hi all this might be the wrong place to post this so sorry if it is.
I am looking to find a way to rip rom of a android phone.
I want to take fully working phone and them make a rom file that I can use to reload other phone that need to be flashed
Something like MTK droid that will work on more than just MTK chip set phones.
I tried to MTK Droid but it does not seam to work with Kazam 345l and other kazam phones. It just does not see them at all even when I pc see them fine.
Anyone know a way of getting this done.
Hey guys,
Got on hands noname Chinese android phone with lollipop on board (even though it says 6.0.1 in settings) and MTK6580 quad processor, 3.10.72 kernel
can I somehow put cyanogen rom from another phone?
Yes, find another phone using that chip: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_devices_using_Mediatek_SoCs
Then go here: http://www.needrom.com and find THAT phone(s) and see if there is a custom rom for THAT phone also using the same kernal 3.10/3.12 etc
Download that rom and port it yourself using the boot.img from YOUR phone using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-how-to-port-lollipop-based-roms-t3223938
And get it at least booting on your phone, out of loads I've done on MTK phones, 95% boot up first time, 50% of those have no issues, the other 50% have issues with cameras/wifi/video/phone that can be fixed literally with trial and error of swapping files from your stock rom to the new rom, can take hours/days of trial and error or could take minutes.
Have fun
EDIT: try to use a custom rom from a brand you have at least kinda heard of, doogee, walton, infinix...etc to make it more likely to work well.

Thank you for your response!
After few hours of research I have found many ROMs that are applicable for my phone. The thing is, I want it to be and look as close to stock android as possible, and as close to most recent version as well.
But still I have few questions:
1)Am I right by saying that kernel 3.10.72 is suitable only for android 5.x?
2)Is it possible to put android 6.x or 7.x?
3)If it is do I need to ugrade kernel?
4)Is it possible to upgrade kernel?
I really hope it's not too much to ask from you.

Your phone is basically the same as mine, and sadly the kernal has to be the same for every custom ROM, there are no kernel sources so no custom kernels, which means we are both stuck with lollipop
The infinix hot 2 for example, is the same MTK chip and was released with lollipop and kernel 3.10 but then infinix released a stock marshmallow upgrade, with a stock 3.12 kernel so they could get a custom 6.0 rom which im 99% sure we will never get.
If you go here: http://www.needrom.com/author/robneymcplum/ this is me on there, where I have ported the best 5.1.1 roms with our kernel. You will need to port to your phone, which is literally just swapping about 10 files from your stock rom so make a backup of your stock rom or find stock firmware, and get the files from there and use the guide i already posted.
Hope this helps. And if you have never done it, its way, WAY easier than you think it might be
Hey guys,
I created my own Android ROM, based on open source (TECNO PHANTOM) phone. And i want to disable future flashing for anyone else. Means i want to flash once, and nobody can't flash device anymore.
Is it possible ?
Thanks
This is mostly a noob question. I have been out of the phone mod game for years. But now that we have unlocked bootloaders and TWRP, why aren't we seeing custom ROMs? I thought we would see a striped stock rom or something. Sorry if this question is ignorant, I don't mean it to be.
GSIs are a form of custom ROMs, and they run alright on N200. Try one if you dare?
GSIs on N200
The process of flashing alone is conventional, shouldn't even need a thread to detail, but still leaving a thread here for search indexing. With an unlocked BL, flash an ARM64 AB GSI within fastbootd, reboot to recovery, format userdata, reboot...

Truth is, we don't have the source code yet, are still waiting on the unlocked MSM tools to fixed borked attempts, and some parts after just missing still. Be patient. Good things come to those who wait... And read all the other threads.
^^ Bump.
I unlocked my ROM and seem to have ditched the T-Mobile-branded Oxygen OS for the stock version (I probably almost bricked it!). But dissapointed to see no real custom ROMS for this phone when I search...
Not too familiar with how a "GSI" differs from an official ROM, seems to be some kind of OS-skeleton not specific to each phone? In any case, any newer thoughts?
Or are there custom ROMS for the Nord N200 budget phone, and I've missed those threads?
There's this one:

I can't personally vouch for it though, as I'm waiting for a fully working TWRP (or any fully working custom recovery) before doing much experimenting on my phone.
