No Need of Kernel Source

No Need of **ANDROID KITCHEN

No Need of LINUX...

Requirements:

* A Brain

* Patience

* Windows XP/7/8

* 7-Zip

* Notepad++

* Bootimg Unpack/Repack Tools for Windows!

* Stock ROM

* And a Little Respect!!

So now Lets Begin...

PORTING For Same SoCs ( Ex: MT6572 to MT6572)

* Replace these from your Stock ROM to the ROM u want to

PORT!! Lets Call it "PORT"

FILE LIST FOR REPLACING:

*system/vendor

*system/usr

*system/lib/modules

*system/lib/hw

*system/lib/libncurses.so

*system/etc/firmware

*system/etc/vold.fstab

*system/etc/vold.fstab.nand

*system/etc/bluetooth

For Fixing Problems...

*system/etc/permissions

*system/etc/security

*system/etc/audio

*system/etc/wifi

*system/lib/drm

*system/lib/egl

*system/lib/soundfx

* Now Replace the Stock Boot.img to Port ROM!

* Now Open The Port ROM folder and go to META-

INF/google/android and open updater-script in Notepad++

Dont Forget to Tune in for the

Google I/O 2014 Live Stream!

Unless youve been hiding under

a rock for the past few

for the Samsung Galaxy



* Do the same for the Stock ROM

* Now In the Port ROM's Updater Script, find a line that starts

with this...

format(".......

and only replace the mmcblk0p.. with the stock one!

* Do the same for this line...

mount("...

Example:

This is the PORT one!!!

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "0",

"/system");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "/system");

This is the Stock one!!

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/system");


Now just Replace the "mmcblk0p3" from STOCK to PORT!!

It should look like this:

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "0",

"/system");


DO NOT REPLACE THE WHOLE LINE!

* Now go back to the Folder of Port ROM and You'll see 2

folders & 1 file named

-META-INF

-system

-boot.img

* Now Select these three and Click Right Mouse Button and

Click on 7-Zip ->> Add to Archive

* Now a dialouge box should appear!

* Configure the Format like This:



Archive format: ZIP

Compression Level : Normal

Compression Method: Deflate

Dictoioany Size: 32k

Word Size 32

* Now Start Zipping and Push the ZIP to your Memory Card

* Go to Recovery >> Install ZIP & Wipe Data

Finished!!

Now was that so hard?? Its a Really Easy thing to d0!!

Now Come to the Hard Part!!

Porting From Different SoCs ( Ex: MT6582 to MT7572 )

Read this carefully & apply the way i say!

* Take the ROM u want to port & name it PORT!

* Take your Stock ROM & Name it Stock

* Now Replace These files from Stock to PORT--

*system/vendor

*system/usr

*system/lib/modules

*system/lib/hw

*system/lib/libncurses.so





* Now Open build.prop in notepad++ & Search for this line

ro.mediatek.platform=MT65xx

Now Replace this (MT65xx) with your CPU!!

For Example

ro.mediatek.platform=MT6572



* Now Go To META-INF/google/android and open updater-

script in notepad++

* Add this line between the lines of "set_perm"

set_perm(0, 0, 0644,

"/system/vendor/lib/hw/gralloc.mt65xx.so");

[Replace the mt65xx with your cpu]

Example:

set_perm(0, 0, 0644,

"/system/vendor/lib/hw/gralloc.mt6572.so");

* Now Go back to the Rom folder and Take the boot.img and

decompile it with any bootimg-unpack tool!

* Now delete the zimage and rename boot.img-ramdisk to

PORT-Ramdisk

* Now Do the Same for Stock boot.img and open the folder

named PORT-ramdisk and copy all the files from PORT-

ramdisk to boot.img-ramdisk of your Stock boot.img

* Now Go to boot.img-ramdisk and open init.rc

* Now find these lines and replace with your cpu

#Create Chip Property

on early_property:ro.hardware=mt6582

setprop ro.mtk.hardware mt6589



example :

#Create Chip Property





* Now Compile your New boot.img and Pack your New ROM

and Flash!!

Cheers!!!!

* Unpack boot.img

* Open init.rc

(Change it to 3 if yours is MT6628)

mediatek.wlan.chip=MT6620

(Replace mediatek.wlan.chip=MT6620 to your WLAM Chip

Type Ex: mediatek.wlan.chip=MT6628 for MT6628)

mediatek.wlan.module.postfix=_mt6620

(Replace mediatek.wlan.module.postfix=_mt6620 to your

for MT6628)

* Now open updater-script and Find this line or ADD a New

one(If Not Found)!!

I Respect All the Developers & Modders of Android

But Some Jerks Just Dont know How to Behave like a Human!

Some Developers Behave like they are the BEST! LOL!

But It's NOT TRUE!

We Can't Be the Best! We Are All the Same!

We all are the Students of XDA-University!

We all use Others Work!

Why Not Work together? Why Not Develop our Knowledge

More & More!??

I Don't think I Own any Respect from anyone!

First of all, thanks for the great guide!

Im on an Alcatel One Touch Fierce OT-7024w MT6589 metropcs. Will this work across chip variations(6589m, 6589t)?Does this work from one phone with the same chipset as another(evolve to fierce)? Is a locked bootloader a problem for thisprocess.
