I have the kernel sources for Gigabyte GS202 based on MT6575, please, help me compile a kernel for Cyanogenmod 10.1
Kernel sources: ttp://yadi.sk/d/zXsDiAfY3fZ0S (delete gap and paste into adress bar)
Archive includes 3 folders:
mediatek
kernel
bootable
If necessary, I can publish configuration files (device tree).
Sorry for my bad English.

+1 to this. Using Alcatel S'Pop which runs on MT6575. Hope mediatek releases their own src.

Isn't Gigabyte GS202 based on MT6577 ?
I have that phone and it says GS202+ (maybe the plus is the difference?) and it's a MT6577 Dual Core 1GHz whereas MT6575 is a single core.
I wish someone would make a CWM for these phones.

No, GS202 based on MT6575,
GS202+ based on MT6577.
They are two different phones.
I have a CWM for this phoes (see in attachments).
CWM installation guide you can see bellow.

Sounds great but this part worries me. Doesn't this kill the manufacturers recovery which is installed on the phone by default and which is used for non OTA official upgrades? If this kills that and something goes wrong with the installation are you still able to boot into recovery of the phone? I'm a bit worried that I could brick the phone.

I've got a reply from Gigabyte saying they won't be upgrading the GS202/GS202+ from ICS to JB but I was thinking;
The Maya M1 which is the latest model running JB is using the same MT6577 as GS202+. The main difference is the camera (8 Vs. 5 Mpixel) and the higher resolution screen. Maybe it would be possible to combine the two official firmwares into one new for GS202+ JB. It is an almost untouched Google UI.
Just a thought. any comments...?

Hi, My name is Mark David. I am holding right now a phone you have never heard before. Its called the iNO One . At first when i bought the phone, I went to the ino wikia site where I could root, install the clockworkmod recovery and flash his custom rom. The phone is similar to the Lenovo A750 and I successfully was able to port the Lewa OS developer version rom from the official website into the iNO One.
Unfortunately, while I was reading up the manufacturer facebook, I soon found out that they will not be providing the source code for this phone.
I hope you can teach or help me to port other roms like e.g CM10.1 for this phone using the source code.
I hope that you can help me

Sources for Mediatek devices
can these sources work for you guys? These are alcatel sources but they are all mediatek boards. maybe they will work with other mediatek phones too.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/

The problem right now is that I don't know how to use the source code to port eg. CM10.1 to the phone. I'm trying to port 4.2.2 jelly bean to my phone. My phone is a MT6575 phone. Both MT6575 and MT6577 are very similar just that MT6577 is the dual core version of MT6575.

You can search forums, there are some guides on how to make a kernel using source code nd if u succeed in making a cm10 for mt6575 then I think u will be first one to do that nd then hopefully we can port that to our mt6575 phones!
Best of luck!

[Q] How To Get Kernel for ICS from stock rom when not having Kernel Sources.

Hello Everybody,
I want to know that how can i get the kernel from stock rom or any other method for rom development especially for ICS development for our Device i.e. Micromax A85 a re-branded model of K-Touch w700/Cherry Magnum 2x it is an Tegra-2 Dual-Core Device and still running on Gingerbread and now we want ICS :crying: . But the only thing which we are not having is kernel source and Micromax is not giving it to us as well .So people please help us.Please!!!!!!!
And if you can help us in any different way like helping as porting rom from any device to on our device, Please let me know!!!! :cyclops:
Micromax is ****.
We fought long enough for kernel source...got nothing..
My A70 has Froyo...we couldn't get touch to work in CM7...it booted though..
I don't think there's any hope in the kernel source matter.

Well Bro. You are right i have fought for those kernel too but we didn't get anything at last and they kept deleting our posts from their fb page.
And for your device i found this on Xda while surfing a long time ago and thinks that you might want to give it a try........
" Micromax uses qualcomm chipsets. You can find their kernel here. Just look at your device's build.prop for ro.product.board. For example, my Micromax A57 uses msm7627a chipset. "

I was referring about Micromax models that uses Qualcomm chipsets, as most of them nowadays release Qualcomm based CPU.
Regarding, Nvidia Tegra 2, search for a similar device (maybe Samsung/Sony/Motorola etc.) that uses this CPU, and see whether they have got any custom kernel. Maybe it helps regarding directing to actual sources.

You will need the kernel source code from the OEM of the device before you can get very far.

There is no FAQ on this as most of the OEM of the clones never release the source code to their kernels as the device is not an official android device.

if you want to build kernel from source you can learn from @srsdani's thread, at least you know the things you need to build a kernel, don't forget to hit the thanks button for him if his thread help you, if you already have all the things maybe i'll help you later
Hi,
Did you manage doing it ?
If yes - can you write how to ?

I have tried many lib files, but non of them r working
Plz help on it to fix this issue
Anyone plz
Your issue is gonna be a kernel issue and without the source there is nothing you can do. It is a common issue with devices running that chip set. That's why developers don't touch devices with it.

Yes I'm saying that without a proper kernel then there will be things that just can't be fixed. Normally things like the camera and wifi radios. You might be able to hack your way through it but it will take weeks of searching through the code.
The kernel source code is the base code that is required by law to be published for any device that runs a Linux kernel (any android device) the issue with that chip set is they are based in China and dont respect copyright laws or the GPL.

If it's still actual for you (2 years, but still...), mediatek has laid off some kernel and AOSP sources for mt65xx series. Also check out this repo: github.com /bq/aquaris-E5, it has some code for your chip and other Mediatek stuff.
Also you have few other options:
Build your ROM around existing (official) kernel, adding more drivers as .ko's. I've had certain success adding some USB drivers like that.
Use some .so's from your original ROM. Sometimes manufacturers don't provide sources for libcamera.so/libcamera_client.so (camera), libhardware.so/libhardware_legacy.so (wifi and some minor stuff, like vibromotor)
