I have a few questions regarding ROM porting
1)If my phone has android 4.4.2 stock rom and i want to port android 5.1.1 for it...is it possible,beacause i have heard that is not possible to port a lower version to a higher version or viceversa
2)if i have a working CM based rom (version 5.1.1) can i port a 6.0 version of android based from that rom?
It is first time when i try to port roms so i am just curious

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
Hi, I need help in porting rom. My device is Lenovo A858(MT6732), Android version 4.4.4 , Kernel 3.10.48. I tried porting Lollipop rom to my device but no success got stuck in bootloop. But when i tried to port 4.4.4 it booted. and the only bug it has is camera. I am trying to port lollipop rom to my device. Some says it's possible to port Lollipop to kitkat. I have seen lollipop kernel versions are 3.10.67. Is that because of my kernel version? I have seen one cm13 rom that it has kernel version of 3.10.48 but different chips(MT6582) Someone guide me thx a lot

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I would ask you a question (maybe you can help). I have a wiko pulp 4g with stock rom that is Android 5.1 lollipop. I was thinking if was possible to make a custom rom of Android 7.1 for my phone. Searching around the web I found some guides (mainly on this forum) but they tells that for making a 7.1 rom I need a 7.1 base rom and a 7.1 port rom. My question is: is it possible to make a custom rom for my wiko pulp starting from a 5.1 rom and a 7.1 port rom (maybe lineageos or pixel stock rom)? Thanks in advance.
Hello,
My problem is, that i can't find any custom roms with android 5.0.0 or higher for my j100fn (j1 lte).
The reason, why i want this is, that the stock rom sucks and there are some apps, which require android 5.0 or later
