Need developers for MT6589. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm trying to build a Cyanogenmod 12.1 ROM for MT6589 based device. We need developers who can develop a Cyanogenmod 12.1 based device tree. We have an existing Cyanogenmod 12.0 device tree, but it's having lots of bugs.
--
Here is the device tree: https://github.com/Preet23/android_device_micromax_a116/tree/cm-12.0_dev1
(It uses 3.4.5 kernel as we have already booted 5.0 ROM with this kernel)
If possible, just help me figure out what's the error.
Thanks.

[Q] Compiling Cyanogenmod from source

Hi,
I'm not a developer.
I've Innjoo i1 (which is a MT6582 phone only available in Middle East and Africa)..recently Mediatek release the source code for MT6582.and CM source is available to download I see.
So I just wanted to know if this's enough for me (or someone else) to compile Cyanogenmod for our device..(Speaking CM 11 or 12)
If it's enough then I'll read and learn then compile it..if it's not..tell me to stop.
And what exactly do I need to compile CM for X device?
Thanks.
I extracted my device tree from my boot.img and I have a Kitkat Kernel for MT6582..Now what?
I just need proper steps.
Thanks.
I'd suggest reading a lot of this and getting involved with Cyanogenmod for mediatek devices

Lenovo A880 ROM from source

Hello. I am new on building ROMs and I want try to build my first rom and kernel from source code but lenovo has not shared sources for A880.
1) How can I extract it from firmware? I found only guide for extracting device tree, but what about vendor and kernel?
2) for building kernel need just sources from mediatek and device tree, right?
3) if exists phone on MT6582 with android lollipop, is possible building lollipop for my phone while it has latest official jelly bean? Or at least KitKat?
Thanks for replies!

Using a pre-built MTK6589/8389 kernel in a custom (Lollipop) 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?

How do i adapt an old device tree for a new android version?

Hi,
Im new to building roms
Trying to build for my phone j7maxlte SM-G615F
However, the device trees, kernel, and vendor trees all are for lineageos 14.1
I want to compile it for 19.1
What changes do i have to make to the tree to make it compile?
if you don't have sources for kernel 4.14 you can't compile kernel 4.14 it's that simple isn't it?
so i can't build 19.1?
i gotta make a new kernel?
you can build newer LineageOS on low kernel, not sure how it works. the oldest device I use is Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo (stock ROM Android 4.4. Kitkat) the developer @html6405 has built LineageOS 20.0 (Android 13) on old kernel maybe he can help out
