Hello.
I'm new to this forum (well as a user) and also to developing. I would like to know how I can build or patch the ROM (kernel) of my unlisted mtk6572 device to support 5.0 or even 6, basically porting to a different api such as 5/.0.1/.1.1 . I would just like some links to guides if not a guide.
Merci in advance.
John

I would also like to know how to extract the kernel soyrce code from the device.
Do I have to learn linux commands before starting this, because it looks pretty hard.
Thanks

As shocking as it is since my last reply, I've tried searching way to extract the kernel source, from the device, but I can't find any, I gave up, due to slow net, but my dad upgraded about 6 months ago, and now I've began trying to add upgrade support to MTK phones, since Mediatek wont share the "TRADE SECRETS" they acquired from linux and are illegally selling. So I'd actually like to help people who bought an MTK phone/tab without knowing this. I just want to know if it's possible to decompile/extract the source from the device, and if so, how?
Thanks in advance!

nope,you can't get sources from the device,it will be released by the manufacturer.send them a mail asking for it.
btw you came to the wrong section.questions should go here.
Thanks, will they give the sources to me for free? Or I'll probably have to pay for the Linux source. And Google should really deal with them...

you don't need to,android is open source, if they give you the sources it will be free of cost.

Hello guys,
I develop ReVolt ROM for 5 devices, I9100, I9100G, I9300, N7000, Mako ..... The thing is, I was looking for a build bot so it would make it easier for me to build .... For one build to finish on my computer, it takes 190 MINUTES !!! So to build for 5 DEVICES, it takes almost 39.3 Hours for a full set of builds !!!!!!
I was looking for a build bot, but I can't find anything .. Can anybody tell me where i can find one who offers something like that ???
Thanks in advance,

I would recommend taking a look at the TRAC build bot, it doesn't require you to have a team. You can find more information about it from here. Also if you want to look at the documentation for it to get an idea of how to use it and what it involves I would suggest taking a look at the official documentation.

Another thing that I found is a shell script that automatically builds Android ROM's from there source directories, you can find more information about it here. Also I think one the reasons you may not have been able to get build bot to work right is because you must add in repo support which Android relies on, as mentioned in this article.

Hello,
Since i didnt't find any posts relating to my question, i maked a new thread ( Pardon me if there is a similar thread )
Recently i bought a Phone made in China with already a Custom Rom/Kernel on it. (mt6589)
can someone help me out if this phone supports other kernels/roms? ( Information about the phone included )
You won't find any here. Mostly due to those OEM not releasing kernel source for their devices
Wayne Tech Nexus
ah ok thanks.
But what are the things u need to look at while searching for a kernel/rom.
like: is it possible to get Cyanogemod working on it but some features may not work? or is it just not possible

I want to start work on making a AOSP port for the honor 7. The last time i checked people were stuck making a device tree, Is that still the stage we are at? If we have got passed that could some one link it to me so i can get a head start? Thanks.
Hi there,
As far as I am aware, we have not yet got a device tree.
Good luck on the port though, what device are you thinking of porting from?

First,You need to know your device_codename.
In my case,"kanas" .Just google it like "android_kernel_samsung_kanas"
and if you see it uploaded by someone on github ,just clone it by
Code:
git clone https://github.com/xxxxx/android_kernel_samsung_kanas.git
and boom! :good: enjoy

Then make sure it is actually released!
Most of the manufacturers here in the U.S. don't like to give up sources very easily Samsung is known for this & can make building for them very scattered.....
However I can't speak for Micromax as I've never owned anything they're known for, but if your device is newer than 3 to 9 months old it could still be sourceless, in that case you'll have to email Micromax....
