Hello, I want to build a custom rom from source for my MTK Device. I am experienced in linux and in porting roms. On XDA I found some guides, what I need and etc. But none of them were enought for me. My device doesnt have device tree/vendor tree.. So by those guides I started making one. Someone from Reddit helped me how to start and fix few problems. This is my tree now: https://github.com/Marekkon5/gionee-s5_5-device-tree . So I need some help:
1. How to add the headers to kernel
2. How to get all those files u can see in other device trees?
3. Some edits (if needed) for MTK.
ROM: LineageOS 13
Device: Gionee S5.5
Chipset: MT6592 (Mediatek)
Thanks

Hi,
I'm building a cm12.1 ROM for mt6589 but I'm lacking device tree. We have a cm12.0 device tree here: https://github.com/Preet23/android_device_micromax_a116/tree/cm-12.0_dev1 but it seems to be full of bugs. I want to know if it's possible to build a new device tree from mt6592 for mt6589? Because mt6592 has a cm12.1 device tree and it's having very less bugs.

probably not, look for device trees from phones with the same processor then use this guide:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010281
Anybody compiled and booted cm13 for generic mtk devices using prebuilt 3.4.67 kernel ??
Will be glad if someone share the device tree and vendor blobs.
Note: - this thread has been made for Q/A for Cm bringup for mtk devices developers working on it can share their info.
I May Be Spamming But I've Gone Through Many Threads But I Can't Find A Post Where You Can Port A Marshmallow Rom To A Device Running Lollipop.. If I'm Wrong Someone direct Me To A Proper Guide..
My Total Problem Is I Have A "Lenovo Phab Pb1-750m" (Not Plus) which Lenovo Would Have Even Forgot it Released :crying:
Device Runs with Lollipop Rom (Don't Know What The Stock Rom Type is) On A ArmV7 Snapdragon 410 msm8916
I've Thought Of Porting Roms From Different Devices Running Marshmallow With The Same Specs As Mine Like Lenovo A6000 and Yu Yuphoria... But Couldn't Find A Definitive Guide To Port Marshmallow Roms To Lollipop Devices (I May B Wrong)..
I'm Not A Dev Or Not Even Someone Who Knows Coding..
If Someone Is Upto The Task Of Porting A Rom For My Device, I'll Be More Than Happy To Help.. :laugh:
Greetings masters of XDA,
It has been 3-days of tiring attempts to port TWRP recovery on my EX-mobile chat_pro ex39i , i need help!
I don't have the skills to built TWRP from source and source code for my devices isn't available
my device has
- Android 6.0 Marshmallow
- Kernel 3.18.19 with September 5, 2016 Security patch
- Mediatek MT6580
- EMMC type partition
- Unlocked OEM
- Not rooted
- Stock recovery :crying:
I used plenty of tools like AIK, Carliv's, a tool from kaskus to extract the .img files but after repacking and flashed to my phone, it still stock recovery i think the fault was at mount points editing ( in recovery.fstab ) but i can't get it solved
I used TWRP as port as they have same chipset from
- Vivo y31 ( Lollipop 5.1)
- Gionee M5 mini ( Marshmallow 6.0 )
- and two more i can't remember where i took it
please Please Please someone help give me some guide to finish this, or

There's a forum for the Huawei Nova where you can find custom ROMs for your phone and where you can ask your question:
