Hi,
I'm not a developer.
I've Innjoo i1 (which is a MT6582 phone only available in Middle East and Africa)..recently Mediatek release the source code for MT6582.and CM source is available to download I see.
So I just wanted to know if this's enough for me (or someone else) to compile Cyanogenmod for our device..(Speaking CM 11 or 12)
If it's enough then I'll read and learn then compile it..if it's not..tell me to stop.
And what exactly do I need to compile CM for X device?
Thanks.
I extracted my device tree from my boot.img and I have a Kitkat Kernel for MT6582..Now what?
I just need proper steps.
Thanks.
I'd suggest reading a lot of this and getting involved with Cyanogenmod for mediatek devices

I need help to build cyanogenmod or AOKP rom (android 4.1) for a device that is not yet supported by anyone (I have not found threads on forums about some rom for this device, nor found something of this model on github). That's why I would like to try to build a custom rom for this device, so also learn a little more about android (I have basic knowledge).
I have alcatel sources in this link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/
I read that first I have to create the device tree to begin building the rom in ubuntu. Could anyone guide me on how to use the sources (android 4.1) alcatel to create the device tree well or that could be the procedure to start with this?
In advance thank you very much.
PS: Any help is welcome, I hope some experienced developer can help me xD
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 ??

Hello. I am new on building ROMs and I want try to build my first rom and kernel from source code but lenovo has not shared sources for A880.
1) How can I extract it from firmware? I found only guide for extracting device tree, but what about vendor and kernel?
2) for building kernel need just sources from mediatek and device tree, right?
3) if exists phone on MT6582 with android lollipop, is possible building lollipop for my phone while it has latest official jelly bean? Or at least KitKat?
Thanks for replies!
Hi,
I'm trying to build a Cyanogenmod 12.1 ROM for MT6589 based device. We need developers who can develop a Cyanogenmod 12.1 based device tree. We have an existing Cyanogenmod 12.0 device tree, but it's having lots of bugs.
--
Here is the device tree: https://github.com/Preet23/android_device_micromax_a116/tree/cm-12.0_dev1
(It uses 3.4.5 kernel as we have already booted 5.0 ROM with this kernel)
If possible, just help me figure out what's the error.
Thanks.
Hello there,
I am trying to build a rom from scratch for xolo black device. The problem is that they have uploaded only kernel source.
Therefore, I can't figure out how to build the device tree and other things to make a working rom package. If I want to port cm12 to my qualcomm device (unsupported), then what I need to download and the order to executing the commands. I downloaded cm 12 sources but after that cant figure out how to compile other sources and libraries when all I have is kernel source code.
I want to use normal official google version of lollipop/marshmallow as the stock firmware UI is laggy and full of bugs.
I just cant seem to get a straight guide to make a rom from scratch with custom apps and launcher while using the kernel provided by the vendor.
Please help me out.
Thanks.
