Best porting guide for MTK phones :D - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So if U are bored with a stock rom like me, then U asked yourself: "Ummmm... I could port a custom rom to my device"
Now I'm presenting to U my porting tutorial!
THIS WILL WORK FOR ALL 5.X.X/6.0.1 ROMS
ATTENTION: BOOTH ROMS NEED TO BE SAME 32bit SoC EXAMPLE: MT6582 TO MT6582; MT6592 TO MT6592 AND BOOTH ROMS MUST HAVE SAME KERNEL ( U CANT PORT A ROM WHICH IS FOR 3.10.XX KERNEL IF YOUR STOCK KERNEL IS 3.4.67
Now let's start
What U need:
1. Stock ROM or any custom rom for your device
2. The rom U want to port, U can find the best roms on xda-developers.com, needrom.com, and ofcourse mtkroms.com(I have ported all roms from this site for mt6582 )
3. MTKbootimg ( you use it for extracting the boot.img) (http://www.4shared.com/zip/S21Gxkdgba/MTKbootimg.html)
4. WinRAR (http://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0)
5. NotePad ++ (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.9.2.html)
STEP 1:
-Make two folders, one named Stock and other Port
-Extract Stock rom to the folder named stock, and port rom to the folder named port
STEP 1 DONE
STEP 2 (REPLACING FILES):
FROM STOCK TO PORT
-system/lib/hw: replace hw.composer.mt6xxx.so ( if U have mt6582 U need to replace hw.composer.mt6582.so)
-system/lib: libMali.so, libaudio.primary.default.so, libcameracustom.so, libcamalgo.so, libcamdrv.so, libfeatureio.so
-system/bin: all files starting with gsm and rild
-system/etc: wifi, bluetooh, firmware (replace entire folder)
Now take booth boot.imgs and place them into mtkbootimg ( place stock boot.img in stock folder in mtkbootimg, and port into port folder in mtkbootimg)
Drag the boot.imgs to the unpack batch tool and it will unpack them
Now replace from stock to port:
-kernel
-initrd/ueventd.rc
Now click on repack batch file on booth folders and U will repacked boot.imgs
Now in stock delete boot-new and put boot-old into stock folder (where U extracted rom)
In port folder delete boot-old and place boot-new into port folder (where U extracted rom)
Rename boot-old and boot-new to boot
STEP 2 DONE
STEP 3 ( EDITING META-INF):
-Go to stock/META-INF/com/google/android and to port/META-INF/com/google/android
-Open booth updater-scripts and compare mount points from stock to port and edit them
STEP 3 DONE
STEP 4 ( Editing build.prop):
-Go to system/build.prop
-Open it with NotePad ++
-Edit ro.product.model= (according to your device)
-If you have on screen navbars, then find qemu.hw.mainkeys if it is equal 1 change it to 0, if U haven't it then add a line to the end of build.prop qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
-Now change ro.sf.lcd_density= put the value of the stock rom
STEP 4 Done
STEP 5 ( ZIPPING )
Select all files from port and right click and select Make Archive, then name the rom however U want and select format archive to .zip
THAT'S IT! HOPE U UNDERSTOOD IT AND HIT THANKS IF I HELPED U

Thank you so much for this. It worked for me. Ported an AOSP rom from mtkroms. However, is there a way to remove customisations in settings? I want it to be stock as possible. Could you help?
