*edit* sorry, didn't notice general warning, please move to Q&A
I migrated from SGS i9000 to a huawei G700 phone featuring a mtk6589 chipset.
Sadly, the android version limits the possibilities of the phone really hard: it's oriented towards users who play nicely with their phone, not towards me!
so, to keep a long story short, I'd like CM to be ported to this device. this is not a top-of-the-line product, so I'll certainly have to do it myself.
I already got the complete OS image, kernel properties, installed applications, and so on (boot.img, uboot.img, ...), locally installed here.
the question is: where to go from here? In your guides, I can follow what the developers explain to do and why they are doing it, but I got no idea how to convert this OS image into a CM image ...
Also, as there are apparently developers waiting for mtk6859 roms, should I send them a message asking for their help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375957
the only issue here is that I can't contact them yet because of the noob limit.
Hi guys! I have an android kitkat 4.2.2 on my computer and it's in an .iso format. I was just wondering if you could teach me how to run that kitkat on my alcatel one touch t10? thanks guys

iso format for android...? I don't believe there are any iso formats for android phones or tablets. Maybe a version of x86 for the PC or something perhaps. Anyway, don't think there are any options for KK for it, as without source, it would be a HUGE undertaking, even for a skilled developer, to be able to get all the drivers and stuff updated without the source code from the manufacturers. I suggest to read through this thread for info on available versions of CyanogenMod that are compatible as well as tools and files to install a custom recovery or to return to stock if needed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016643
hey! thanks for the reply but i already did that thing above. Anyway, I just figured out that i really can't do the thing. thanks
Does anyone know anything about this tablet? My wife just got one and wanted to see if porting KitKat was possible on this device?
It comes with Android 4.2.

The tablet appears to be just another no-name brand tablet , the Google in the branding name is misleading as the device has nothing to do with Google (It's not at all an official Google branded product) other then it runs Android. As far as porting KitKat is concerned, it is possible but it will unforutnately be difficult without an official kernel source from the manufacture or your own knowledge of compiling AOSP KitKat or say Cyanogenmod 11 for an unsupported device.

If I was able to obtain kernel source would it be possible for you or anyone to build KitKat for it? How do I obtain kernel source?

In the case of your device you would have to contact the manufacture and ask them to provide you with the kernel source code, and even then if they did you would still have to undergo the process of extracting the files for your device and fixing any broken features that would likely arise during the KitKat building process.
Hi guys,
I just wanted to know if it was possible to upgrade a ROM (for the Huawei Ascend P2) from version 4.1.2 to either 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 or something similar.
As you may know no one has developed any custom ROMs for this phone and at the moment we have nothing more than a P6 ROM running on the P2 (which excludes functionality of getting signal, speaker audio, headphone audio and lacks the functionality of the actual buttons on the phone, the ones below the screen)
If this was possible could someone give me some pointers on how to do it? All I need is like a reference guide or tutorial.. I don't mind doing the work myself as I want to get into android development. I consider this my 1st project.
Thank you.

Most likely Huawei never put out the source code for it meaning unless there is a sister phone to it you can port from then not much else to do.
Lenovo is the only company to have released an Android Nougat update for an Intel Atom Cherry Trail SoC powered device.
If Lenovo releases the kernel sources for the Android N version created for its Lenovo Yoga Book (Lenovo YB1-X90F/L), developers can start working on Android N upgrades for other devices powered by the Intel Atom Cherry Trail SoCs.
Lenovo has previously released the Android Marshmallow kernel sources for the Yoga Book (https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/yoga-series/yoga-book/downloads/ds118515 Thus it shouldn't be a problem abiding by the General Public License v2 (GPLv2), which requires Android device makers to publish the kernel source code.

True, we really Need to make Lenovo release the source Code, i hope you could edit your Petition by adding that also we Need Infos about how to use the source Code.
Greetings
I'm not sure that it would make a difference, but has anyone tried posting on their support forums or contacting them directly?
It might help our case to note that the device (the Android version, anyway) has been discontinued. I doubt we'll see any further official updates from Lenovo.
Take a look , Hope this will work for you:

Only via Facebook. Got this answer:
"Thanks for reaching out. Currently, this the only open source http://lnv.gy/2DMoObI we have for Yoga Book. You can keep an eye on the support website as it will be updated if a new open source will be released. Let us know if you have other inquiries."
Feel free to post the link to the petition on the Lenovo forums or even ask them via Facebook/scoial media. The more attention, the greater the chances.

WOW! I've passed this information along. Thanks a lot, this hopefully opens some doors
What did you do exactly?
UPDATE: It's another Marshmallow kernel source code. We need the Android Nougat kernel source code!

True, i open it and it was another MM sources, i will rewrite to them again, however, i figure it out how to use it, for example specially for yoga Book Windows owners, i tried to install Android distro (Phoenixos, blissos,......) but some Drivers were missing i mean no Sound, no Bluetooth,....... but today i understood how it work, in lib/Firmware we Can add this files in any Android distro to get some or all Drivers work, but im trying to figure out how to copy-paste them inside System.sfs under Windows enviroment :fingers-crossed:
