Kernel Compatibility Help! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone, I've been wanting to build the CM13.0 for my Lenovo K3 note, maybe even the CM12.1 too. But I have a specific doubt which I know I shouldn't have before I proceed any further into learning about ROM development, so I'm asking all of you, please do answer.
The Lenovo K3 Note source code is made public by Lenovo, say if I were to download that and if I use that kernel, will I be able to successfully compile CM13.0 and boot?
I think that will work with the CM12.1 version as the Stock ROM and 12.1 are both Lollipop versions. So my question basically is, will the Lollipop Kernel(provided by Lenovo) work with a Marshmallow ROM(if I am to build one)?
It would be great if you could please elaborate your answers as I'm looking to learn and not just get done with one thing and get caught with another. Thanks for taking time.
Cheers!

Which custom rom would you recommend to a newbie like me?

Hey guys,
I'm pretty new to rooting my device and using custom ROMs. I've been using the optimized CM12 ROM from AntaresOne now for a while and I'm pretty happy with it. But I'm that kind of person who always wants the best from his stuff so I decided to ask you guys which ROM you think is the best and would recommend for the jfltexx.
Also if you need it or if it matters here is the information of my current device:
Samsung Galaxy S4 (jfltexx)
Cyanogenmod 12 (optimized by AntaresOne)
TWRP 2.8.5.0

A few questions about porting

Hello,
I read alot lately about porting Lollipop (CM 12.1) to my device (Allview V1 Viper which is basically a rebranded Gionee Elife E3) but i have some questions:
1. As far as i understood, there are some problems with CM and Mediatek devices. However i saw some posts with people succeeding to boot CM 12.1 on these devices. Can this be achieved ?
2. If yes, can i use KitKat stock kernel with a Lollipop build ? (my common sense says no, but who knows ?) If no, how can i build a kernel for Lollipop for this device. I saw that Mediatek released kernel source, can that be used ? Also, can i use the drivers from KitKat ? If no, which and where should i get the drivers from ? Can i use any files from KitKat stock rom for a Lollipop port ?
This will clear some things for the beginning.
Thanks in advance

[Help Needed] Porting CM 10.1 from MT6592 to MT6582

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.

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

[request] cm 12.1/13

Hello everyone, I don't know if this is the right subforum to submit this topic so sorry btw
Is it possible that somebody please build a CM for this device (VF-895N)?
My device runs 5.0.2 stock Lollipop, 5.0 screen, rooted, has TWRP recovery 3.0.0.0, SDK21, Linux Kernel 3.10, unlocked bootloader...
The sources of the device were already published by Alcatel and there are already two ROMs for it out there. One is MIUI 7.6(5.1.1 Lollipop) Beta (ported from Moto G 2015 I think) and a full stock ROM without Vodafone apps, rooted and with a few customizations...
Please somebody make CM for this device! I would really appreciate it even if it's an alpha version I don't care! Just do it plz

[Help] Galaxy Tab E (sm-t560)

Hello xda family!!
So I just got this new tab as a gift and I've been crazily looking for a custom rom with lollipop or higher since (sadly) the stock rom is stuck on 4.4.4. Don't really get what is wrong with Samsung firmware developers... at least I could root...
Anyways, anyone knows where to find one or at least make a request to create a rom to a developer? Cause it would be amazingly handy
Oh and also, is it possible to flash sm-t560nu or sm-t560n roms/firmwares on this tablet? Thank you in advance.
Anyone? Ping! Lol
Found a 6.0.1 Rom for SM-T560
Found a cynogen mod Rom on a Russian web they have cm11 cm12 cm13 and cm14.1 for our t560 I would give you the link but because this is my first post they won't let me so search 4pda forum and use the google I tool to translate the page .
Now I can post links here is cm 13 running 6.0.1 . There is no bugs so far but because there is no sim card you just skip the option out .
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ewM0DjQ4ee8sR9qd4n4XC8ZrrH9_Tedi/view?usp=drivesdk
Now just download google gapps 6.0.1 and flash that for google apps hope this helps
