Hello there.
I recently changed my device from a Xperia X8 to the new LG L4-II (E440), but i noticed that development for these new LG devices is almost nowhere to be seen because of its Mediatek hardware (at least that's what devs complain about)
I used MiniCM10 on the X8 (JB 4.1.2) and noticed that both of these devices have the same resolution (although the LG has a bigger screen), so my question is:
Since both devices have the same resolution, and both Roms are Jelly Bean 4.1.2, is it possible to use the UI files from the custom Rom in Lg's stock rom, (SystemUI, framework-res, stuff like that) without bricking the software?
LG doesn't have a custom recovery and both phones have very different hardware, so porting the Rom for me is out of the question, i'm no developer... but since they have the same resolution, it would be fun to merge some CM flavour into the stock rom.
Thank you guys in advance.

no..bro yu simply cant copy the ui files for another rom...dey wont work... U may end up soft bricking or bootlooping ur device...
Yu must port it for ur device
and another thing yu cant simply port cyanogen from another phone to a mediatek device...it will never work....(may cause hard brick also)
only roms of mediatek can be ported for mediatek devices dat also the chipset should be same (like mt6577 to mt 6577) or (mt 6589 to mt6589) not from (mt6577 to mt6589) and vv
hit thanks rather typing
Anyone can change the UI without root, just install nova launcher, sun beam live wallpaper and a custom notification bar from the play store.
port UI
i want to ask you that i started cooking roms using android kitchen for my s duos.. but i want to know tthat how to port UI of other rom to my rom..
waiting for reply
i know nothing about porting roms or buliding them however i wanted to know if anyone was thinking of bringing 5.0 to us ?
Hi,
I want to make a ROM which has Lollipop look and style. Not only launcher. I want to make it look Lollipop %100.
No need features of lollipop and I think it's impossible for my device at the moment.
Oh by the way my device is General Mobile Discovery - MTK6589 - 4.4 KitKat
I don't like it's UI.
So how can I change it's UI? There is no CM for my device also. So please help me!
I know this is stupid but did anyone try to port any marshmallow features to lollipop? Like the animations.
So as the Q says.
If you still don't get what I am trying to ask:
Suppose there are two very similar devices one has jellybean for it and the other does not so how do I port that ROM to the other device without a base ROM. AND IF I CAN'T. Then please tell how to build ROM from source to a UNSUPPORTED device.
Thanks in advance
