I think we all need to generate pressure to release the code ¿what you think?
You can find different branches of Mediatek kernels and utilites on Github. Just search for 'Mediatek' or click on this link:
https://github.com/search?q=mediatek+mtk6577&type=Repositories&ref=searchresults. I would doubt if any of it is official
but maybe you could cook your own
Best of luck.
How about this LG G pro lite D686 kernel source ?
The below link has Kitkat (4.4.2) kernel source of LG G pro lite D686 ( MTK6577 ). Check if it helps in porting to other devices.:good:

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
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!
Hi,
I would like to port the novafusion lollipop rom from Samsung golden (S3 mini) to Samsung skomer (XCover 2). They both use the NovaThor U8500 SOC. There is a kitkat rom for skomer (vanir).
Does this mean I have all the bits available I need for the porting?
Can a kernel be used on different phones with the same SOC?
Is there somewhere a list what has changed in the source from kitkat to lollipop - or can I reuse the device tree from the kitkat skomer rom?
Have I missed the "[GUIDE] Port to another phone with same SOC" thread which answers all my questions - and the next to come ?
Best regards
Daniel
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?

this is the link to xperia c 3.4.5 kernel source code. please check it sir.
Exciting moment, the new Meizu m6 note kernel source code is open source! This kernel source is from the official, all kinds of dts and drivers are running normally, but I can't start the compiled kernel, need to be repaired, the best way is to piece together the kernel source, I am a Chinese, I am sorry for my bad English!
Kernel source:
github.com/loneyjs/android_kernel_meizu_msm8953

Hey, where do you get the kernel source for Meizu phones? I have a Meizu M5c, and the official kernel source for it is not available.
