Then the easy way is impossible for me. Betw thx for the answer.
why don't you develop your own rom there are all the resources out there that you need just make good use of them .... instead of saying press the button instead that way it counts

If so, I will give it a go.

Yes, it still stands, but i found out that CM10.1 is currently impossible to make, so you can try with MIUI V5.

so how did you make the nexus rom for it?
The issue is that I do not own the phone, but I am looking at porting CM to MTK6589.
MIUI porting is a bit different, it would not involve kernel compiling per se I believe (CM either, but I would like to).
To give it a go, I would need info from here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
So your ROM version, partition info etc.
When I manage to port to a device I own, I can give it a go.

It's not really Nexus ROM, it's just stock ROM modified to look like stock Android.
I have Android 4.2.1
I will PM you the partition info.

Wow, it seems that you have alot of money to order it just because you want to develop ROM for that phone.
Good luck man, if you need any help message me

Well, not really, but I like to spend money on those things.
When the ROM works I'll sell it .
Well dump info and the stuff on the CM porting page is still usefull.
cheers

i compiled my first recovery based on cm 10.1 for Thl W8.
I have no easy way to push the image to the phone to test.
If it works, I can start to create a recovery for this phone based on sources.
I would need that info I requested.
Are you able to post the build.prop file and the partition dump?
Look at the page with instructions I posted earlier.
Meantime I look for an easy way to flash that recovery, somehow sp flashtool does not read the scatter file created by mtkdroidtools .
cheers
managed to flash it, but it does not work , just a black screen .
Harder than it looks.
Can't promise anything, but I'll post if I get further.
Compiling on an old C2D now, so it takes time .

you are welcome .
I do still need the information I mentioned once I get it working.
Especially the partition info is important.
You may always hit the thanks button when you are happy .
I am currently working on CWM 6 to get working.
I'll post when I have progress (or when I quit ).
You can always give it a go yourself:

So, like I requested before, please :
- post your build.prop file
- post identification stuff of the device, like screen resolution, memory and recovery.fstab (or the recovery image)
- in general take a look at the link I posted before and read it, so you know what info is needed :
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
The reason I ask is because there are at leat 2 different versions, 1 had 960x480 screen and 1/4gb ram/rom, the other 1280x720 and 2/8.
They obviously at least have different partitions and displays and perhaps even other different hardware.
You can also post a full working ROM on dropbox or something.
thanks
P.S. for the needed tools, see here:

This is a CWM 6.0.3.3 which works on my device.
Use SP Flash Tools 3.13 something to flash.
My scatter file is attached, please compare it with yours.
Needless to say perhaps, but still: this is on your own risk.
You may damage your device if you do not know what you are doing.
Bricking it is not my fault!
So think before you act.
If you try: please give feedback if it works.
If does it is the same device: N9389 5.3", 960x480 (qHD) , 1 gb ram, 4 gb rom.
Device identifier: v89_gq2002s
Baseband v: MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V6.P2, 2013/03/26 12:42
cheers!

Hi,
Well I am partly motivated by your offer, but I enjoy Android and Linux hacking.
Let's hope those attempts will lead to something.
How about LewaOS? There are good porting guides for that.
I will try to look for MIUI or CM in the weekend.
Initial CM would miss dual sim support.
Maybe MIUI is easier, because some work has been done.
Well, I'll see.
Don't overestimate the complexity, if you have CM 6 and made it yourself, porting a rom is doable I suppose ?
cheers
Hello,
Since i didnt't find any posts relating to my question, i maked a new thread ( Pardon me if there is a similar thread )
Recently i bought a Phone made in China with already a Custom Rom/Kernel on it. (mt6589)
can someone help me out if this phone supports other kernels/roms? ( Information about the phone included )
You won't find any here. Mostly due to those OEM not releasing kernel source for their devices
Wayne Tech Nexus
ah ok thanks.
But what are the things u need to look at while searching for a kernel/rom.
like: is it possible to get Cyanogemod working on it but some features may not work? or is it just not possible

Hi there.
Can someone link a custom clean rom that has root acess the version 4.2.2. I think I will be capable to build a custom rom from there.
..? This makes no sense to me..

Oh, I misstyped
Is there any clean ROM?
I need this to create my own
What he's saying is that if you were capable of building you should be able to search.
(Also you should know what to get in order to start your ROM adventure).
