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

Here is systems extractor:

And compressing it back again is little bit tricky for noobs !(cause geeks are geeks always )

Hello guys,
First off, I have a rooted Panasonic P81 with a MTK-6592 Chip-set maybe, and its rooted(obviously),
So Can someone tell me how do i port a Rom for my device, like i want miui v6 for my Panasonic P81(which is not available currently). And the base rom which you are telling should be of cyanogenmod, but cyanogen is not available for my device! So what base rom should i take? thanks! and should the port be of the same type as the base? i mean like i have a base of cyanogen (just an example) and i have a port of miui then what should i do?
Help would be highly appreciated,
Thanks a ton!

Can i port Omnirom 5.1.1 made for samsung galaxy s to samsung galaxy s duos
I tried your method and there were a few problems.
I took cosmic rom for galaxy s duos as the base rom.
I didnt see any set perm files in this base rom , so i could not copy.
Not many files were there in init.d of Omnirom 5.1.1 which i used as port rom as compared yo what you have shown in ur tutorial.
I still continued and zipped the rom and it was installed but ,NOW ITS STUCK ON BOOT!!!!!!
Its bricked , right ?
Where did i go wrong?
SAMSUNG GALAXY S DUOS AND SAMSUNG GALAXY S SEEM TO BE ALMOST SIMILAR IN SPECS.
So i still beleive i can port it.

Hello respected developers,
We all now know that cyanogenmod has successfully been able to develop for Mediatek Devices by building official CyanogenMod ROM for Android One (MT6582) device. Now I want a help if anybody would like a new student.
I want to port this ROm to my Intex Aqua i14 which is also a MT6582 device and has Android 4.4.2 which is almost AOSP.
So can anybody guide me so that I can go ahead with my project I am intended to move ahead with?
Millions of thanks to the helpers.

The porting process is very easy but the tricky part is that you need to find ROM's with the SAME specs and with the SAME chipset
You''ll need Cygwin and Anroid Kitchen
You can follow this guide http://fabosums.blogspot.co.at/2014/02/port-any-rom-to-mtk-device-in-5-mins.html
Good luck and let me know if it works :good:
Android one got its kernel source released, and so the developer was able to successfully build cm11/from source, and fix all bugs
Most mtk phones don't have kernel source
Also android one's boot.img is apparently different from normal mediatek boot.img format
Anyway, cm can't do much about it
Ask your respective devices developer to build cm for it, if he can

Did you ported the ROM ??

Hello guys,
I'm wondering is there any possibility to port CM12 Theme (visual design, not kernel, not CM system apps) because my phone doesn't support fully working CM11 (dial problem) and CM12 not at all, because of stupid Broadcom chipset. If there is any way to port it, please let me know. Thanks anyway.
anyone?

Thanks for answering, but it's not helpfull
This is only a theme for Cyanogenmod roms (CM11 and CM12) - this means you must have one of that roms to use this theme " Merzee CM12 / CM11"

Hi XDA
Would appreciate if a modder can help create and share a rom based on Android Pie/Oreo.
This phone is still amazing at cheap price and has almost all basic functionality and I would love to keep using it instead of changing the phone.
I know I am asking a lot from a rom creator. But hope to get support on this.
Thanks in advance.
i think because mediatek and close kernel source no oreo
