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.

Thnx Man, I will try to find the source.
I'm a complete noob in Android development, but I'm a quick learner, so bear with me.
I was thinking that the TRIM feature of the Android 4.3 is kind of important to have, but I'm missing it out with Android 4.2.1 on my Xolo Q700.
My device has a MediaTek MT6589M chipset with quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU and PowerVR SGX 544MP GPU. There's a gig of RAM.
I looked all over the internet and couldn't find a ROM that takes me to 4.3, so I decided I'll try to port it to my device.
I know that Google provides the source code for Android 4.3, so is there any way I could port it to my device?
I'd be glad if you helped, expect me to bug you with questions because I really want this to happen.
Leave links to useful instructions too, if you can!

Welcome to the Android development world,
Well firstly, is there a ROM available for your device?
If there is, porting a 4.3 ROM would be possible, and made easy.

I don't think so. Can I extract the company-provided ROM from my phone? There might be a recovery ROM somewhere on the internet, I can find it if there's no option to extract the one in my phone right now.
Is it really possible to port 4.3?
Is this thread closed?

Hit Thanks If You Like My Post!!!

Dude ,For porting/devloping 4.3/4.4 rom for xolo q700 needs Kernel sources of mtk6589 too , google releases the 4.43/4.4 sources but without OEM kernel sources its not possible for now! Mediatek is not releasing the sources ,thats the main reason!
Hit Thanks If i Helped You ! It Encourages Me to Learn More

Welcome The World Of Developer!!
Don't I was a noobie too (a yr ago).Anyway,Porting Android 4.3 kitkat is not till possible because we lack resources.Wait a month or 2..It will soon come...
Hello, dear XDA members
I have a simple question: is porting KK ROM's to that specific chip difficult, or not really?
I'm struggling with 4.1 on my "not-so-popular" Pentagram Combo 4 Core and I'd like to make CM port of android's 4.4 instance.
Most important technical stuff:
Chipset: 8225Q
RAM: 1GB
Bootloader: unlocked by default
Screen res.: 480p
I'd be very thankful for any advices, what to do, where to begin.
And of course if someoned like to create it by himself/herself - that would be just pure awesomeness
Cheers, Mike
Little bump, hope it's not considered as bad manners

So, ive got source's of android to my smartphone thanks to kindness of my device company. Its source for gingerbread 2.3.4 i want to take the device tree from it and convert it to CM11.0 and here is the thing. How to do this? What do i need to know? Is there any guide?
Third post on this forum and none got replied? Rly?
Well you could have done some search before asking
As far as i know you can't convert your android soruce to CM , but you can port a CM ROM in your device but since you have GB your only able to port CM7 , also next time write your device name so i know what we are talking about
---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------
A lil more search and i was able to find that your device has the same chip as Samsung GALAXY mini 2 , go to galaxy mini 2 forum and ask there if someone can port CM11 to your device , If this helped press the THANKS button
My phone is GSmart G1345. Samsung galaxy ace have pretty smilar hardware so as htc wildfire s, and those devices have already CM11 develoed. If i take device tree from their sources, and do some changes, could it work ? Or maybe port it somehow but i dont know what base rom to use
Btw. Ive done already a lot of research but my smartphone is pretty rare. If you could point me where to start off it would be great

First of all , nop you don't have same specs as the phone you said , You can only port roms or kernels from phones who have same Chipset and Samsung galaxy ace or wildfire have a Qualcomm MSM7227 Snapdragon and you have Qualcomm MSM7227T Snapdragon so its not the same , maybe you can port roms HTC ChaCha and Samsung GALAXY mini 2 since they have the same chip as yours
As for porting roms check in the devolper thread i think theres a tool there that helps you in the process but you need a kernel first and i don't know how to port that , also i don't understand why do you want CM10 or 11 since they would lag so badly in a 800mhz device

From what i read Samsung galaxy mini 2 have MSM7227A click. Also can you port gingerbread to CM? I readed that it needs to be same android ver. so i probably need compile from source right? Or am i wrong?
Also comparing MSM7227T to MSM7227 thers only a 200mHz diffrence beetwen those chipset

http://system-on-a-chip.findthebest.com/l/254/Qualcomm-MSM7227T#devices&s=2oFpnh&st=2JobHv (that's why i said maybe cuz this site says that galaxy_mini_2 uses MSM7227T but you can try with HTC ChaCha )
Also you don't port GB to android , you port CM7(that uses GB as base) to your device so you have a custom android rom , also do you have your kernel source cuz you will need that for sure (if you don't have that the chance that you can port the rom are less than 1% , maybe using the boot.img from your room would work)
Better ask in galaxy_mini_2 section or in HTC ChaCha thread , maybe someone there would help you to port a rom and a working kernel
I never tried to port roms so i can't port one for you , let alone even if i tried i don't own your device so it would take a lot of time (and that's something i don't have)

ohh yeah cuz i forgot you can also build CM roms from CM source and you add your kernel on top of it and it should work

yeah but it depends on people workig on it , for example my HD2 has only 1ghz of max frequency but since it has alot of Roms and custom kernels , im able to overclock it beyond 1.5 , i even was able to get 2ghz on it so it depends on the kernel , if someone modify your phone kernel he may be able to achive higher speeds
Hi everyone,
After a few hiccups, I successfully rooted my Leagoo T5c, thanks to the excellent tutorial posted here. The phone works fine, thank you, but now, I'd like to know how to proceed to, say, upgrade the phone from its current Android version (7.0) to a more recent version.
Where to start?
Since this phone has a Spreadtrum/Unisoc SC9853i SoC (Intel-based), I suppose the custom ROMs and upgrade possibilities are few and far between, but I'd like to give it a shot.
I'm open to ideas, tips, tricks, voodoo moves and Santeria incantations, but I'm still a noob when it comes to Android, so please, be patient, and methodical... :good:
@UglyStuff
If you can unlock phone's boot-loader then you should be able to flash any Custom Recovery and/or Custom ROM that's suitable to 100% to phone's CPU-architecture. Who is the supplier of phone's SoC isn't of any interest at all.
Hi,
Thing is, as I said, I'm a noob when it comes to Android, so I don't want to brick my phone by trying to make it ingest a ROM that's not suitable for it.
If my phone came with a MediaTek or Qualcomm SoC, I wouldn't worry, because there are plenty of ROMs out there, custom or not, to play with, but this Spreadtrum/Unisoc SoC is a thing of its own.
It's based on Intel's Airmont architecture, and few phones or tablets use it, at least this specific version (SC9853i). Maybe I just don't understand too well how a ROM is built.

For example, I found this article where they explain how to flash LineageOS 17 (based on Android 10) on a Panasonic Eluga Ray 800 that uses the same SoC as my Leagoo T5c.
The thing is, I don't know if this is transposable to my device, though the two share the same SoC. As I said earlier, I don't want to permanently brick my phone...
@UglyStuff
The mentioned Intel Airmount SoC's instruction set architecture is x86_64 , the also mentioned Intel Spreadtrum SC9853i SoC's instruction set architecture is x86_64, too. Hence in order to upgrade yor phone's Android you need a Custom ROM compiled for x86_64 architecture. GIYF ...
OK, but since this Panasonic and my Leagoo share the same SoC, they also share the same x64 instruction set, so do I get it right if I say that the custom ROM built for the Panasonic would fit on my Leagoo, or am I missing something?
In theory it should.
OK, I guess I'll have to chance it, and use recovery in case things so south. My phone isn't compatible with Treble, according to this app. Does it mean anything in terms of installing one of the generic system images found here or not?
