I want to make a port of android lolipop to my device (GT-9063T). This phone have only the stock 4.2.2 android and no custom roms.
The rom i`m getting as a base is the stock 5.1.1 update for Galaxy J1 Ace (J110M). The two devices have:
Dual sim support;
480x800 pixels
1.2 ghz, quad core processor
1 gb ram (the same tipe of ram too)
8gb internal memory.
Obs: There is more stuff, but i think the important ones are already here.
Are these devices similar enough so i can port the update more easily? If yes, what is the best thread you can link me to? I don't care about speed, i have the patience to spend a good time working on this.
Well, thank you guys for the attention
I'm not a developer but I believe in the end it boils down to similar processors

will anyone be developing for the above device?
it may be a budget device but everywhere for months sells out as soon as they are in stock so it is going to be fairly popular if not already.
it runs 2.3 but has a 1ghz cortex a8 i think it is and 512mb ram so i think it could run android 3.2 or even ICS.
there may be a generic rom for the type of processor it runs(not sure??) but i wouldnt have thought that would be ideal.
i am not a developer but was curious as it is an excellent budget device and recently won the gadget shows budget tablet award.
any ideas anyone?
Hi All,
Please fine the specifications for the device below:
Dual SIM, GSM + GSM
Android v4 (Icecream Sandwich)
1 GHz, Dual Core
4.3 Inches WVGA, 480 x 800 Pixels
5 Megapixel with Flash
Internal 4 GB
Expandable Memory microSD, upto 32 GB
Memory 512 MB RAM
The phone specs are awesome and i think this is a nice hadware platform to have custom ROMs.
I am using this device from past 3 weeks and the device performance is awesome.
Before this phone i was using Galaxy fit for almost 3 years.
Guys this is a very good phone and you should develop ROMs for this.
Hope developers read and work on this.
Any updates??

Latest JB rom for celkon A200 - 14-8-2013
I am ready to take the plunge on generic Android phones. I need advise on whether to buy a MTK 6589 with RAM 1GB or MTK 6577 with RAM 2GB given all other specs the same? I believe both are in similar price ranges. I know 6589 is quad core and 6577 is dual core. I play very few games (if any at all) and sometimes watch youtube or downloaded movies.
My budget is sub US$200 (maybe US$150-US$180) including delivery.
Neither. Get yourself a Nexus 4.
Dont buy Mediatek Devices!
As much as I know Mediatek Devices are useless if you are going into development! Most of them dont have kernel sources and updated drivers Which I dont like.... You can buy MTK if it has all the sources available! Even Micromax Didn't release the kernel sources for Canvas HD A116 which was having MTK chipset! Though, Some Acer device had the same chipset so they released the kernel source which is now used by devs!
Another thing,
MTK Chipsets are really powerful! So if you only wanna use it for Daily Use and Gaming purposes then its Awesome! If you gonna go into the deep Android Development World then only buy if it has all source available
I just bought a Star N9589 quad core ram 1GB rom 8GB display 5.7" 1280*720 comes with 2 batts plus a 32GB micro sd card for US$225. Wish me luck.

I had this unit..and the dual core as well.
Try those GPU benchmark..(around half of the score of S4, HTC One etc)
I had a problem though...i can received sms but could not send any out.
Nevertheless....impressive.
(bluetooth, auto brightness, reasonable WIFI range...)

Making a custom rom for mediatek devices is very tough as the mtk is very closed source. Anyway, i m planning to buy this tab, so can you give me the feedback of it? how is the performance etc?

The overall performance is good and there is no lagging of games like Subway surfers,Temple run etc..However when i tried to run Call Of Duty Strike Team it lagged a bit as it is a very heavy game.. Pictures when shot indoors have low quality..Flash of camera is not that bright..I am fully satisfied with this tablet except for one thing...As it is MTK based device ROMS for this tablet are difficult to find and manufacturer hasn't issued any new update for this device..
Overall: Tablet with good performance.Value for Money..However if you are planning to buy a tablet mainly for shooting pics and stuff don't buy it as the camera quality is not that good..The camera quality of this tablet is like Micromax and XOLO phones..

Thanks for the awesome review. As far as camera is concerned, its none of my interest (i m not going to use it as camera). What about the internal memory? is it capped at 1GB for applications? is there any workaround?
Excuse me,
I'm currently own a Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus (GT-S7580.
It has a dualcore 1,2GHz chip, 768MB RAM, Adreno 200 GPU with a 4inch screen, which is 480x800. The phone is loaded with Samsung's 4.2.2 official ROM (there is no custom ROM for the phone yet, anywhere)
I saw news about the Samsung Galaxy Ace Style, the one just got to the store 1 month ago. Its spec is the same as Trend Plus, same dualcore, same GPU, same screen size, except for the RAM. Ace Style's RAM is only 512MB. But, surprisingly, it runs on Samsung's 4.4 Android.
So, the question is, is it able to port that 4.4 from Ace Style to Trend Plus by any simple means?
+1
I'm and others also waiting for custom roms and the Cyanogenmod version of this Device.
