Hello,
I want to build my own AOSP rom for a MT6577 based device (jiayu G3).
I setup a development VM with ubuntu 10.04 and android tools and i successfully built the generic image for the emulaor.
Now i have to understand and retrieve all the necessary files to create myvendor/mydevice branch and build the specific image for my device.
I know that mediatek does not release the sources and give no public support for their boards, so anyone had tried? can you help?
thank you
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 ??

I've got an old Lenovo S6000 which, like every other Mediatek device, has incomplete source code for the drivers and the kernel. As a small project, I would like to try and get Android Lollipop up and running to an extent where:
the system boots to the GUI;
the Wi-Fi works;
and the touchscreen works.
just to start off.
The device currently is rooted, with ClockworkMod recovery installed, and I can create Android back-ups of the system. Could I potentially take the kernel and the proprietary blobs and build them in to a CyanogenMod 12 update? Or would the kernel have to be patched to support the new features in Lollipop (the current OS running on the device is Android 4.2.2, and there have been no other working attempts to create a custom ROM for the device)?
Thanks,
George
Sir I want to know Mediatek 6589 3.4.5 kernel can be used with any custom lollipop ROM or it need development for doing that? what can be done to update device with latest android ROM, what is required for developing ROM and kernel? Do all Mediatek 6589 chipsets share same kernel? because sony has released the source code for 3.4.5 kernel but I don't know how to use it for development of new ROM with latest android, how cyanogen do that?

this is the link to xperia c 3.4.5 kernel source code. please check it sir.
I don't know, if this is the right category, to post this. If it isn't - I'm sorry for spamming wrong category's.
I found a rom (CM 10.1) universaly made for MT6592 from mtkroms.com. I really want to port this rom for my chinese MT6582M phone. I followed this guide, in order to successfully port from MT6592 to MT6582. Thanks @[email protected] for his awesome guide. The problem is, when I try to flash the rom, it pops up "symlink: some symlinks failed (Status 7)". One time I somehow managed to install the rom, but weren't able to get past boot-animation. Also, I can't take a logcat, while device is booting, because adb isn't detecting my phone on boot. Please write, what files, or the rom itself, I need to upload, for you guys, to try help me.

why you porting cm 10.1 ? (there is no cm 10 for these mtk)
though you can port Cm 12.1 buggless from other Mt6582 device....using ur stock kk rom.....for rom link check on xda and for guide check my mt6592 cm12.1 porting guide
cheers
The problem is, that I don't have KitKat. I have Jelly Bean 4.2.2, and I'm stuck in it, because I have kernel 3.4.5, and no kernel sources for this phone. So no KK for this one.

ahh !! sad !! try finding some clone may be some works for you
All known clones has Android JB 4.2.2 too. So, nu luck for this device. . I wanted to get CM 10.1 on it, to get the taste of CM, themes, and many more awesome features of CM.
You will never get a fully working rom. Just the way it is with devices using these sub par chips

Can you adb while booting and grab a log ? If you don't get to the boot animation then you probably can't so I'd guess it's likely to be something kernel related

I cant get to the boot animation ..stuck at the company logo, so i cant take log.
However, i have tested the kernel with other ROM and its working fine. So no problem with the kernel.
