I have some sources of mediatek 6577 base kernel also boot.img of kernel 3.4, but not able to build the, maybe because i m noob, or maybe there is not a perfect guide to start making kernel from source of mediatek, i m wanted to make kernel 3.4 for lenovo a390, because i want to run reall jellybean on that phone, i also have jellybean for mtk6577 (from ZTE) but whenever i installed that rom they could not boot, on boot screen the boot logo looks like mirrored, i m try my best, but no success, if someone please help me, so i m done any work for him, like (i m webmaster, now just entering in the android development)
THANKS in ADVANCE

No i m not, because i dnt know about toolchains, whenever i tried to build kernels commands said (makefile command not found) and many more makefile error, /usr/bin error.
So i dnt know what shud i do.
If you are able to do this, this is very helpfull to me, because i want to make a rom that really 4.1.1 / 4.2.2 / 4.4.3 based for lenovo A390
THANKS for REPLY

if you want to build kernel from source you can learn from @srsdani's thread, at least you know the things you need to build a kernel, don't forget to hit the thanks button for him if his thread help you, if you already have all the things maybe i'll help you later
Hi,
Did you manage doing it ?
If yes - can you write how to ?
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
Hope all of you are doing great. I'm just a noob and am having a heard time to find a good informative source for customs ROMs made for Mediatek devices. I understand that people are still trying to make CM mod for Mediatek devices but I use a MT6592 device and have not found a good custom ROM for it. Can you guys suggest which ones are good for it and where can I find them?
Hi every developers !
Now I have used mediatek phones for some years, I saw some mediatek kernel sources were leaked. I would like to customize a rom from scratch and from a very stock/basic rom.
The GPS gets turned off when I turn off the screen, I need an app to avoid this.
I would like to improve the GPS behavior and make some changesin the theme etc...
Just for learning and trying something new.
I found the MT6592 kitkat Kernel source in XDA but is it enough to make what I want ?
Thank you, I'm going on reading topics.
Hi! I've been trying to build Android N for my device Lenovo Vibe X3 (x3a40). So I've managed to build the ROM but I've been facing a kernel issue. Neither the kernel works nor the recovery.
I couldn't find any help online. So I thought of asking the devs here... Kindly help me with this..
My device specs are here
Kernel source
My device runs on Snapdragon 808 SOC(msm8992). Pretty much similar to LG G4 & Nexus 5X(bullhead). So I've seen that the kernel source for these devices are tweaked for every release.
I believe I need to do some kernel tweaking so I need help from you guys as much as possible.... Please let me know what are the possible changes I need to make in my kernel source.
Thanks in Advance!
Hi everyone,
After a few hiccups, I successfully rooted my Leagoo T5c, thanks to the excellent tutorial posted here. The phone works fine, thank you, but now, I'd like to know how to proceed to, say, upgrade the phone from its current Android version (7.0) to a more recent version.
Where to start?
Since this phone has a Spreadtrum/Unisoc SC9853i SoC (Intel-based), I suppose the custom ROMs and upgrade possibilities are few and far between, but I'd like to give it a shot.
I'm open to ideas, tips, tricks, voodoo moves and Santeria incantations, but I'm still a noob when it comes to Android, so please, be patient, and methodical... :good:
@UglyStuff
If you can unlock phone's boot-loader then you should be able to flash any Custom Recovery and/or Custom ROM that's suitable to 100% to phone's CPU-architecture. Who is the supplier of phone's SoC isn't of any interest at all.
Hi,
Thing is, as I said, I'm a noob when it comes to Android, so I don't want to brick my phone by trying to make it ingest a ROM that's not suitable for it.
If my phone came with a MediaTek or Qualcomm SoC, I wouldn't worry, because there are plenty of ROMs out there, custom or not, to play with, but this Spreadtrum/Unisoc SoC is a thing of its own.
It's based on Intel's Airmont architecture, and few phones or tablets use it, at least this specific version (SC9853i). Maybe I just don't understand too well how a ROM is built.

For example, I found this article where they explain how to flash LineageOS 17 (based on Android 10) on a Panasonic Eluga Ray 800 that uses the same SoC as my Leagoo T5c.
The thing is, I don't know if this is transposable to my device, though the two share the same SoC. As I said earlier, I don't want to permanently brick my phone...
@UglyStuff
The mentioned Intel Airmount SoC's instruction set architecture is x86_64 , the also mentioned Intel Spreadtrum SC9853i SoC's instruction set architecture is x86_64, too. Hence in order to upgrade yor phone's Android you need a Custom ROM compiled for x86_64 architecture. GIYF ...
OK, but since this Panasonic and my Leagoo share the same SoC, they also share the same x64 instruction set, so do I get it right if I say that the custom ROM built for the Panasonic would fit on my Leagoo, or am I missing something?
In theory it should.
OK, I guess I'll have to chance it, and use recovery in case things so south. My phone isn't compatible with Treble, according to this app. Does it mean anything in terms of installing one of the generic system images found here or not?
