Hello,
I want to build my own AOSP rom for a MT6577 based device (jiayu G3).
I setup a development VM with ubuntu 10.04 and android tools and i successfully built the generic image for the emulaor.
Now i have to understand and retrieve all the necessary files to create myvendor/mydevice branch and build the specific image for my device.
I know that mediatek does not release the sources and give no public support for their boards, so anyone had tried? can you help?
thank you

I need help to build cyanogenmod or AOKP rom (android 4.1) for a device that is not yet supported by anyone (I have not found threads on forums about some rom for this device, nor found something of this model on github). That's why I would like to try to build a custom rom for this device, so also learn a little more about android (I have basic knowledge).
I have alcatel sources in this link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/
I read that first I have to create the device tree to begin building the rom in ubuntu. Could anyone guide me on how to use the sources (android 4.1) alcatel to create the device tree well or that could be the procedure to start with this?
In advance thank you very much.
PS: Any help is welcome, I hope some experienced developer can help me xD
Hi,
I'm not a developer.
I've Innjoo i1 (which is a MT6582 phone only available in Middle East and Africa)..recently Mediatek release the source code for MT6582.and CM source is available to download I see.
So I just wanted to know if this's enough for me (or someone else) to compile Cyanogenmod for our device..(Speaking CM 11 or 12)
If it's enough then I'll read and learn then compile it..if it's not..tell me to stop.
And what exactly do I need to compile CM for X device?
Thanks.
I extracted my device tree from my boot.img and I have a Kitkat Kernel for MT6582..Now what?
I just need proper steps.
Thanks.
I'd suggest reading a lot of this and getting involved with Cyanogenmod for mediatek devices
Hi All,
I’m are working on a project to create a KITKAT ROM to a MediaTek MT6589 device. These are the steps that I have taken so far:
Downloaded the CM11 source code
Downloaded the Micromax A210 device tree (the properties appear to be the same as the MediaTek device)
Then I modified the resolutions to match our target device (BoardConfig.mk)
Then I compiled the source code
Then I used the flash tool to install the system on the device
The result: The device seems to get into a boot loop even before the boot animation comes. :crying:
I tried to get the log cat out but it appears that the device stuck before the log cat even been generated.
So am I doing something obviously wrong?
How should one detect what goes wrong at the boot level and to see why the OS does not load?
What other actions could I take?
Is there any recommended system source code for this device (MT6589)?
Any help / criticism would be appreciated. Thank you in advance my friends.
What was the original Android version that came with this device? Are you trying to build an upgrade?

Actually yes, what came is Jelly Bean 4.2.2. So thought of creating a KITKAT ROM for MediaTek devices. That's why I had to use the Micromax A210 device tree.
Any help on this is highly appreciated.
Hello. I am new on building ROMs and I want try to build my first rom and kernel from source code but lenovo has not shared sources for A880.
1) How can I extract it from firmware? I found only guide for extracting device tree, but what about vendor and kernel?
2) for building kernel need just sources from mediatek and device tree, right?
3) if exists phone on MT6582 with android lollipop, is possible building lollipop for my phone while it has latest official jelly bean? Or at least KitKat?
Thanks for replies!
I've got an old Lenovo S6000 which, like every other Mediatek device, has incomplete source code for the drivers and the kernel. As a small project, I would like to try and get Android Lollipop up and running to an extent where:
the system boots to the GUI;
the Wi-Fi works;
and the touchscreen works.
just to start off.
The device currently is rooted, with ClockworkMod recovery installed, and I can create Android back-ups of the system. Could I potentially take the kernel and the proprietary blobs and build them in to a CyanogenMod 12 update? Or would the kernel have to be patched to support the new features in Lollipop (the current OS running on the device is Android 4.2.2, and there have been no other working attempts to create a custom ROM for the device)?
Thanks,
George
Sir I want to know Mediatek 6589 3.4.5 kernel can be used with any custom lollipop ROM or it need development for doing that? what can be done to update device with latest android ROM, what is required for developing ROM and kernel? Do all Mediatek 6589 chipsets share same kernel? because sony has released the source code for 3.4.5 kernel but I don't know how to use it for development of new ROM with latest android, how cyanogen do that?
