8 GB ROM
1 GB of RAM

The zImage is the kernel file. boot.img-ramdisk is the main folder containing the zImage(kernel) and ramdisk, just you need rename the decompiled port boot.img to PORT-ramdisk, and your stock boot.img not rename folder.
I just want to ask how to fix this problem , I ported MT6589 to my MT6577 device, Seems there's no problem in flashing ROM but when its time to boot, it just hangs on the boot logo, it's not even trying to load bootanimation but rather it only flashes a white screen then it reboot to my recovery. Seems like I do something wrong?
My device is mp a818g duo
Kernel:3.4.0
Chipset: MT6577
Hope I receive help

When you use android kitchen to decompile your boot.IMG then your kernel will named zimage, but when you use other unpack/repack tool for your boot.IMG, the equivalent of zimage in your decompiled boot.img is the files kernel and kernel header.

Now a days mediatek is a populer chipset among the low end android phones ! But many custom roms are possible in this Soc.
These tutorial ar for them who know about rom porting!
Porting MiUi to mediatek.
You have to take MiUi rom compalitable with your Soc.
Like
MT6577 to MT6575
MT6589 to MT6577
MT6582 to MT6572
Better is to port from the same SOc like MT6572 to MT6572
For porting MiUi,Lewa,Oppo
To port for MT6572 to MT6572 just copy and replace these files from your stock rom to port rom.
system/lib/modules
system/etc/firmware
system/user/keylayout/generic.kl
Done now decompile boot.img of your stock rom also the MiUi rom you are porting !
Now copy and replace int.rc to stock boot.img ramdisk folder from ramdisk folder of MiUi boot.img after decompiling.
You have to change the mount point of updater script of the rom you are porting.
Open updater script of port rom find these lines
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "0");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "/system");
Now change the mmcblkop_ with your phones partition.
To know about your phones mount point download partition table from google play!(system,data,each does not have the same mount point)
Done now again zip your rom and flash.
To port MiUi,Lewa,Oppo from different chip mentioned above and MT6582 to MT6582,MT6589 to MT6589
Copy and replace these files from stock rom to port rom
system/etc/firmware
system/lib/modules
system/lib/hw
system/usr
system/vendor
Now do the same work to boot.img and updater script ! Now zip your rom and flash!
This guide is only for MTK! This will work from same chip to same chip for example MT6582 to MT6582 or MT6577 to MT6577
Some devices have different partitions to flash and the ROM you might flash can brick your phone. It can even hard brick your phone. So it is recommended that you do a ReadBack, ClockWorkMod Backup and MTK Droid Root & Tools backup. I am not responsible for bricked phones!!
What you need to port a ROM to your device [Your chipset to Your Chipset only]
1: A ROM to port [in .zip]
2: Your stock ROM [extracted with /system and build.prop]
How To Port ROMs to your Phone:
Extract the ROM to port and you will have these main things:
META-INF
System
boot.img.
If you have them then you are ready for next step.
Open /system folder of stock and rom to port.
Open bin folder of stock ROM and copy these files:
pq
vold
Now replace these files in ROM to Port's /System/Bin folder.
Open lib folder of Stock ROM and get these files:
libcamalgo.so
libcamdrv.so
libcameracustom.so
libdpframework.so
libsensorservice.so
libsync.so
libvcodecdrv.so
Replace all the files mention above to ROM to Port's /system/lib folder.
Now open Stock ROM's /system/etc/ folder and copy these files:
apns.conf.xml
vold.fstab
vold.fstab.nand
Now replace these files in ROM to port's /system/etc folder.
Delete these folders from ROM to Port
/System/vendor/
/System/lib/hw
/System/lib/modules/
/System/etc/WiFi
/System/etc/Firmware
Replace these folders from Stock ROM to ROM to Port:
/System/lib/hw/
/System/lib/modules//System/etc/WiFi/
/System/etc/Firmware/
/System/vendor/
The final step! Press back button to go to the main folder where you have the Stock ROM. Copy boot.img [From Stock ROM]and replace it with the ROM to Port's.
if I helped you hit Thanks button....
Must the two ROMs be the same Android version or doesn't mater?
Any version of Android but the chip should be same
Ex: mtk-6592 to mtk-6592

So, I'm doing this tutorial due to the trial and error I got.
Prerequisites:
Ubuntu or any linux-based os with the right packages installed
Source code from the kernel
Backup of you boot partition
These tools here
Patience
1) The first thing you want to do is to do a backup of your boot partition.
Code:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/boot.img
2) Download the source code from here, extract it and place it somewhere. I placed it in /home/fabio/Documentos/Kernel/sourcecode
3) Download a toolchain, I downloaded "aarch64-linux-android-4.8" from google and placed in "/home/<your username>/Documentos/Kernel/aarch64-linux-android-4.8"
4) Go to your kernel source code and find the file "Makefile", open it and change CROSS_COMPILE= to say the place where you stored the toolchain "/home/<your username>/Documentos/Kernel/aarch64-linux-android-4.8" + "/bin/aarch64-linux-android-"
5) Now that you are done setting up the stuff, open a console and navigate to your kernel source code root and type
Code:
make
make pxa1908_grandprimevelte_eur_defconfig
make -j#
# is the number of cores + 1
6) While that runs, go to where you stored those mkbootimg tools and unpack that boot.img you backed up
7) Once the kernel building is complete. Go to your kernel folder and navigate to arch/arm64/boot and copy the file "Image.gz"
8) Download bless or an Hex Editor of your liking and open the following files: boot.img (the original boot), Image.gz, boot.img-zImage.
Search on the "boot.img-zImage" for 1F 8B 08 and copy everything before then on your Image.gz place what you copied and save it as a different file otherwise it will fail to save.
9) Go to your mkbootimg folder and where you stored the unpacked files and build one boot.img with the following command
Code:
./mkbootimg --kernel image2.gz --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz --dt boot.img-dt --signature boot.img-signature -o boot2.img
10) Flash the boot2.img using any software you want!
THIS MIGHT NOT WORK! If it doesn't you can send me a DM! I will be retouching this post again and make it prettier adding pictures and stuff but for now I can't do much!
If you know a better way of doing this please say in the replies! I will be building a kernel for this device soon enough
RESERVED
Can you please upload link of custom kernel
I'm still trying to do a kernel with new features, but don't know what to add yet. Trying to make Init.d support without 3rd party apps!
EDIT1: I give up! My phone is too much trouble and since SAMSUNG doesn't care about it neither do I anymore! Try to build the kernel yourself and tweak it as you like! Make a script to automate this process to be easier! Good luck! Anything you need just say
Can you help this guy for porting kernel source code http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/general/developers-discussion-sm-g531f-custom-t3444598

4) Go to your kernel source code and find the file "Makefile", open it and change CROSS_COMPILE= to say the place where you stored the toolchain "/home/fabio/Documentos/Kernel/aarch64-linux-android-4.8" + "/bin/aarch64-linux-android-"
5) Now that you are done setting up the stuff, open a console and navigate to your kernel source code root and type
Code:
make
make pxa1908_grandprimevelte_eur_defconfig
make -j#
# is the number of cores + 1
6) While that runs, go to where you stored degas-mkbootimg tools and unpack that boot.img you backed up
7) Once the kernel building is complete. Go to your kernel folder and navigate to arch/arm64/boot and copy the file "Image.gz"
8) Download bless (Hex Edit) and open the following files: boot.img (the original boot), Image.gz, boot.img-zImage.
Search on the "boot.img-zImage" for 1F 8B 08 and copy everything before then on your Image.gz place what you copied and save it as a different file otherwise it will fail to save.
9) Go to your degas-mkbootimg folder and where you stored the unpacked files and build one boot.img with the following command
Code:
./degas-mkbootimg --kernel image2.gz --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz --dt boot.img-dt --signature boot.img-signature -o boot2.img
10) Flash the boot2.img using any software you want!
THIS MIGHT NOT WORK! If it doesn't you can send me a DM! I will be retouching this post again and make it prettier adding pictures and stuff but for now I can't do much!
If you know a better way of doing this please say in the replies! I will be building a kernel for this device soon enough
