Hi everyone from XDA, im new here.
Past a couple of days ago I've decided to learn how to port a Lineage OS to an unsupported device (ZTE Axon Mini), but reading Github and some forums like these I have found that I need to understand the kernel before doing such, the problem is the codename of this device doesn't exist as other phones from the same manufacturer like "Tulip" for example, this device had the codename the same way as the motherboard it uses (msm8916) the problem is when you try finding the motherboard of the device it shows you that it suitable for a Snapdragon 410, but this phone has 615 so Im quite confused because of this, could be that ZTE uses an old motherbard to solve phone cost? And because of that Im stuck because I don't know how to proceed. If someone could give some clue about this I'll be so much grateful.
Thanks so much to everyone that's could try solve this.
PD: (Also sorry for my english if you find something misspelled)

Does anyone know if any ROM development is being done that is compatible with this device - RAmos T11AD based on the RK2818 chip.
I'm trying to get Froyo on it. I'm familiar with the phone Android world with my HTC Desire and everything done to it, Just not sure how to approach this MID at all.
Any help will be appreciated. I saw some mentions of the same chip here, just not sure how much of that is relevant to this device.

Up, i wish to know too, thanx
Haven't found anything working well enough. I'd try looking in other forums more dedicated to non-brand devices, like slatedroid.com, mp4nation.net and chinadigitalcomm.com for more answers.
I have a prototype RK2918 STB (GoogleTV) device from a Chinese manufacturer and RockChip themselves. It's running a version of Android 2.3 that's from a tablet.
I'm not an engineer, but if any dev's are interested in cooking a ROM for it I can connect them with the right people, info and hardware.
It's a really nice device and I would love to have some better ROM's and support for it.
Hi Guys,
After my little stay on XDA and trying messing with many devices of android and bricking few lead to me know about android development.
Anyways, So my point is I am trying to port this MIUI KiKat ROM (MIUI V5 for Elephone P9) which is exactly identical to my device except the NFC and the the CPU frequency thing ( which I don't think matters that much while porting) and my device is XOLO 8x-1000 HIVE
So what I learnt is that devices should have-
Same SoC's, Same display size, Same architecture, Same processors. My device and ELephone has everything same even the internal storage and the RAM i.e. 2GB and mount points are also identical but without NFC so can't call it a clone exactly.
I tried many MIUI guides followed this one so far THE BEST - MIUI PORTING FOR DUMMIES all in vain :/ after flashing my recover.log is totally fine.! After rebooting I see my spalsh screen after that my phone gets stuck at a unresponsive black screen not even showing the boot animation. Funny this is that phone is actually detected by adb and on connecting with PC the storage are also shown but it gives error that please insert storage. I attached the pic at the end of the post so you can have a look at it also when I logcat an endless chain of God knows what continues I can't even get it to read . Can anyone help me porting this MIUI to my device! I really want to want to port MIUI any MediaTek expert in the XDA house willing to help me
Please don't ignore this thread as no solution is yet available. IDK how this guy ported MIUI to his device with same specs as mine. I even contacted him and he said he just follow that guide I linked above ultimate guide of MIUI porting. Anyone please help me as I can see that devices related to mine are actually running MIUI but I can't sadly :'(
Any help would be greatly appreciaited. Any MTK dev around please help Even yuweng sir didn't had much idea what to do.!
Hey Folks,
I recently bought a little known Chinese phone with the name Organon Max S9, running a Helio X25 processor which is MTK6797T. The OS on the phone is Android 6.1, but in Chinese. I would like to install Nougat 7. 1. 2 on it in English, but after hours and hours of struggle, I have been unable to find any Organon ROM for this purpose.
The question is: Can I put in another ROM in it? I mean, Xiaomi Redmi PRO has the same processor (MTK6979T) and its ROM is readily available. Can I put Redmi PRO ROM in my Organon Max S9? If so, how?
Any informed answers, suggestions, tricks and tweaks would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!

I wouldn't do that if I were you, there are a lot of things to consider.
Kernel Version would probably be different. So you have to find one which is the same version.
If you follow the many ROM Porting Guides you might be able to boot and get it working, but expect a lot of bugs like no camera or wrong resolutions, no sounds, GPU won't help with any games and such.
Still it's a hit or miss.

The simple straight forward answer for this is simply no, Just because a phone shares the same SoC doesn't mean we take another devices ROM. If that was possible we'd have LG's running touchwiz and HTC's running LG software and all sorts of craziness. Unless these two devices are from the same OEM and are nearly identical in hardware, it's not possible.
Hello , I am sorry if posting here is wrong but I have got to craziness state searching how to unbrick my tablet.
I bought a tablet from china and wanted to look at how to remove the menu from it. During this process I ended up bricking the thing.
It doesn't turn on . When connected to computer it does the usb sound on and off.
What i know from the system is
mt6582
Andoid 8.0
128GB ram
Build number - ALPS.KK1.MP1.V2.36
model nr - YT886-12
Kernel 3.4.67
I know this because I bought two of them but when I opened them both , the motherboard is slightly different .
The phone/tablet is recognized as N90 which I have no idea what it is.
Please help in any way possible cause I am about to break this thing apart. I have lost 4 days and nights looking for an answer.
Thank you in advance.
Did you manage to fix it ? I have the same problem.

Looks like I am trying to fix the same device.
I brought mine from China also because of the spec didn't know the firmware was a custom install and doesn't even show android system webview even though Google play store says its installed but it not compatible. I just need a ROM that will work with my device and whatever else I need to put it one my tablet. Normally I can figure this out but I have epilepsy now and it to hard for me to focus.
Model ZL10
Processor MT6582
Firmware ALPS.KK1.MP1 V2.36
Android 8
Ram 8gb
Storage 128gb
10 core
2.5ghz
Hi, i'm the owner of an Oppo Rx17 neo, and the phone is really nice: Fingerprint sensor under screen, 128gb ROM, 4gb RAM... Overall a good phone, but the only problem is Color OS. I buyed this phone because i didn't knew about Color OS (My bad). Now i'm stuck with this phone for at least two or three years, there's no other choice but keep it. Knowing this, i want to develop a custom ROM for this phone, even if i have to learn from scratch, because i don't know anything about Android Development. I'm a web developer (PHP, JavaScript, a little bit of python and C#), but i don't know where to start this journey, because for what someone told me on a Telegram group, i need a custom recovery (Like TWRP i guess?), but i couldn't find anything about it on google (I searched for it on english, i don't know anything about russian or chinesse, i guess that could've help me a lot).
So, getting to the point: Could you help me to understand how to compile TWRP for my phone, or in first place, how to know if i can even unlock the bootloader. I have installed custom ROMS before, on an Galaxy S5 and a nexus 5x, but nothing further.
Can i have some help?
Anyone? Still looking for recommendations on where to start with this.
