I have a cheap smartphone micromax q370 with spreadtrum chipset made by micromax.
I want to compile a custom recovery and custom ROM for it but the kernel source is not available on their website and they are ignoring my requests via email and their support forms.
Is there anything that I can do to get it?

Here is the Custom rom i.e SENSE based Custom rom released for Star Mobile Astra:

Also Contains TWRP recovery.
Also make sure that there is proper kernel source code available for the device. As if there is no proper kernel source (which seems to be the case with alot of China based MTK devices. )They will be removed from the site.
Does anyone have the kernel source code for the Huawei U8350/Boulder/Orange Barcelona?
I would like to create a custom ROM for the U8350 but would prefer the source code for the kernel for the phone rather than adapting the U8150 or U8160 kernel as the custom Roms for the U8350 that use these other kernels as a base all have many bugs. I have emailed Huawei several times for the kernel source but I've had no reply so far so I was wondering if anyone on here had it.

i second this! help please
Well i was just going throught the canvas2(A110) development thread and happen to find that there are now 2 kernels available for its chipset. So i was wondering if any of the devs here might ask the original developer of those kernels to help them in porting it for our device.
It would be really great if we can build it from groud up.
And also sony has released most of the sources for there device XPERIA C which has the same chipset and almost same specs as Canvas HD.
Hope to get some prositive replies.
Fingers Crossed.

Jay..!!

For Now,
The answer is no.
The reasons are listed below.
No phone can accept kernels from other phones unless it is a clone.
Micromax Canvas HD and Xperia C have common CPU's but aren't Clones.
Micromax Canvas HD cannot use Canvas A110 kernel because they have different CPU's.
Kernels cannot be ported unless the complete source for both the kernels is available.
We will wait for Xiaomi sources and see if they are of use.
We will soon have ROMS based on Android 4.3 as Micromax is releasing an OTA Update for Micromax Canvas HD.
Hello respected developers,
We all now know that cyanogenmod has successfully been able to develop for Mediatek Devices by building official CyanogenMod ROM for Android One (MT6582) device. Now I want a help if anybody would like a new student.
I want to port this ROm to my Intex Aqua i14 which is also a MT6582 device and has Android 4.4.2 which is almost AOSP.
So can anybody guide me so that I can go ahead with my project I am intended to move ahead with?
Millions of thanks to the helpers.

The porting process is very easy but the tricky part is that you need to find ROM's with the SAME specs and with the SAME chipset
You''ll need Cygwin and Anroid Kitchen
You can follow this guide http://fabosums.blogspot.co.at/2014/02/port-any-rom-to-mtk-device-in-5-mins.html
Good luck and let me know if it works :good:
Android one got its kernel source released, and so the developer was able to successfully build cm11/from source, and fix all bugs
Most mtk phones don't have kernel source
Also android one's boot.img is apparently different from normal mediatek boot.img format
Anyway, cm can't do much about it
Ask your respective devices developer to build cm for it, if he can

Did you ported the 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?
