[Q] Porting no popular Phone - Android

Hello users. I have one Question about Porten rom.
I have Android OT-908 and i Have Android 2.2 . This phone haven't update to 2.3.
If I ported my phone guide from guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598713 there is a chance to create Custom rom Android GB 2.3 from phone with the same CPU ( G1 , Xperia X10 mini pro etc) ?
For Example - I'm download Android 2.3 (CM) at G1 - and I'm editing from guide to My alcatel.

Hey buddy..
As far as I know yes..
But the thing is that you need to have a custom recovery to flash it on your phone..
So you need to look for a custom recovery port too for your device...
And good luck for your efforts..

You should try to port CM from source, starting from the device files from a phone similar to yours (same cpu, you, drivers...)

Real ICS r5.2 looks on CyanogenMod 9

Hello,
I have had a lot of problems of updating my Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro with CyanogenMod 9 but this files worked for me, in the correct order
1. flashtool -> SK17i_4.1.B.0.431_BB72.ftf
2. flashtool -> SK17_4.1.B.0.431_WORLD.ftf
3. fastboot -> boot.img (from FXP133-cm-9-20120809-UNOFFICIAL-mango.zip, CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.1)
4. CWM recovery -> FXP133-cm-9-20120809-UNOFFICIAL-mango.zip (Android 4.0.4)
But... Then I realised that CyanogenMod 9 had a much uglier interface than "Real ICS r5.2". Is this possible to solve with a Theme?
Thanks in advance
yeah . i want this too if possible . but this need a lot of hardworks
what do you need from cyanogenmod 9 ? and what do you need from Real ICS ?
i think there is no perfect rom like this
so which one ?
Cyanogenmod 9 optimized performance for daily uses
Real ICS great and nice interface for comfortable uses

[Q] Custom ROM UI Porting

Hello there.
I recently changed my device from a Xperia X8 to the new LG L4-II (E440), but i noticed that development for these new LG devices is almost nowhere to be seen because of its Mediatek hardware (at least that's what devs complain about)
I used MiniCM10 on the X8 (JB 4.1.2) and noticed that both of these devices have the same resolution (although the LG has a bigger screen), so my question is:
Since both devices have the same resolution, and both Roms are Jelly Bean 4.1.2, is it possible to use the UI files from the custom Rom in Lg's stock rom, (SystemUI, framework-res, stuff like that) without bricking the software?
LG doesn't have a custom recovery and both phones have very different hardware, so porting the Rom for me is out of the question, i'm no developer... but since they have the same resolution, it would be fun to merge some CM flavour into the stock rom.
Thank you guys in advance.

no..bro yu simply cant copy the ui files for another rom...dey wont work... U may end up soft bricking or bootlooping ur device...
Yu must port it for ur device
and another thing yu cant simply port cyanogen from another phone to a mediatek device...it will never work....(may cause hard brick also)
only roms of mediatek can be ported for mediatek devices dat also the chipset should be same (like mt6577 to mt 6577) or (mt 6589 to mt6589) not from (mt6577 to mt6589) and vv
hit thanks rather typing
Anyone can change the UI without root, just install nova launcher, sun beam live wallpaper and a custom notification bar from the play store.
port UI
i want to ask you that i started cooking roms using android kitchen for my s duos.. but i want to know tthat how to port UI of other rom to my rom..
waiting for reply

How to build a kitkat rom from source for any android device ?

Hello , i have a device with 512mb of ram , mediatek processor MT6572A and 4gb of rom .. is it possible to build a kitkat rom for this device ? And if it's possible , how can i build one ? tell me tell me
huawei vitria Y301A2
I have a huawei vitria Y 310A2.
Can we build kitkat 4.4 ROM FOR THIS DEVICE?
i wanna ask, i'm new to android programming, what kinda tools i need to prepare?
hello?
I don't see why you can't port kk to your devices. If you want kk or any other android version check out xda-university it will guide u in the right direction.
If you believe you will succeed.
Example.. my tablet that was built in 2006 with only 309mb ran was able to external multibootloader from sdcard jb4.1, ubuntu, and debian.
All you answers can be found in the little search box at the top of the page.

i think is possible but you need help from developers :/

check this thread out, someone is already trying to port at least the bootloader, and presumably some kind of custom ROM:

Yup, it is. If you could give me the Fly Era Style 3 (IQ4415) ROM, I could do the porting for you . By the way, I have the same phone. Have already tried MIUI, Note 3 (beta), Yandex ROMs on this phone and I didnt like them. I would be very thankful if you could link me this Fly Era Style 3 (IQ4415) ROM.

Upgrading Ported Custom ROM
Hello everyone here,
By following this thread so far, I've managed to port a custom ROM successfully for my device from existing Base ROM. Kudos to ArjunrambZ for this helpful thread for noobs like me. But both the ROMs are Android 4.1.1 . Now can anyone help me how to upgrade the version(Example: I want to upgrade to Android 4.4.4) of my Ported ROM? I googled a lot but I couldn't find anything useful/understandable for me. Thank you and thanks to KJ for pushing me in the right direction :cyclops:
ROM structure
Nice guide I haven't actually tried this yet but I have a few questions
As far as i knw porting means running a rom on a device for which it was not created
If this is the case why do we copy only specific folders (apps, fonts, media, framework) . from port rom to base rom? So there r still parts of original rom in new ported rom what is work of those parts? And what is work of parts we copied from port rom?
At 1st i thought the remain of base rom which we didn't replace is device specific i.e it contains drivers, etc am i correct?
Plus i have one more query what if i want to port a completely diff version port rom
For example i have a note 2 and i knw there won't be any lollipop release for it
So what if i want to port lollipop to my device since i have base rom as kitkat and port rom as lollipop, is it possible cross version porting?
Thanks

I tried your method and there were a few problems.
I took cosmic rom for galaxy s duos as the base rom.
