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

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 , i have a device with 512mb of ram , mediatek processor MT6572A and 4gb of rom .. is it possible to build a kitkat rom for this device ? And if it's possible , how can i build one ? tell me tell me
huawei vitria Y301A2
I have a huawei vitria Y 310A2.
Can we build kitkat 4.4 ROM FOR THIS DEVICE?
i wanna ask, i'm new to android programming, what kinda tools i need to prepare?
hello?
I don't see why you can't port kk to your devices. If you want kk or any other android version check out xda-university it will guide u in the right direction.
If you believe you will succeed.
Example.. my tablet that was built in 2006 with only 309mb ran was able to external multibootloader from sdcard jb4.1, ubuntu, and debian.
All you answers can be found in the little search box at the top of the page.

check this thread out, someone is already trying to port at least the bootloader, and presumably some kind of custom ROM:

Hey there,
I've previously ported MIUI to my MT6582 device but I still consider myself a noob especially when it comes to CM.
My device is called Innjoo Note E and running stock Kitkat..There're no custom ROMs available for it so I wanna try to port CM 11.
What exactly do I need apart from my Stock ROM? What're the correct procedures for porting?
btw I stumbled upon this while googling around.. is it legit?

I am also on the same track. Did you get anything useful?
Hi guys,
I am completely new to the idea of creating a custom Android ROM. I have found a great tutorial on how to design your own Touchwiz ROM, however, I cannot find a Stock Rooted Deodexed ROM that I can use as a base for the LeTV X500/1S. If anyone has one or could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
Many thanks in advance,
KeviCartman
Can u please share the guide ....
And what version of rom u want i.e 5.0 or 6.0 etc
U may also use custom ROMs to Port
Hello guys
I am litle bit confused
I find a AOSP 5.1 rom for Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50LC
My question is: Will it work if i flash it on 50F?
They are same device, same specs, only chipset is different. 50LC is running MT8735 and 50F is running MT8161. Only thing they are not same is that 50F is Wi-Fi only, no sim card.
I saw a thread about porting roms to MTK devices but i am not sure if it works with this chipsets. Should i try to flash that rom or port it by swaping files from stock to aosp rom like in thread? Help is greatfull, thanks :fingers-crossed:
Dont flash with that rom,it will brick your device.

But see this
Will this work? Because it say almost any mediatek device https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701283
EDIT:Guys i did a litle research about this thing and all i see here what is needed is rom porting.
How do i port rom in situation like this? It have almost same specs, only chipset is different.
So any tip or link to thread for rom porting in simmiar situations? Thanks alot!!!
No one?
I flashed this rom and it bricked my device, you are right..
But how do i port a rom on MT8161 from MT8735? Is there any chance? Thanks!
