Tutorial:

ONLY FOR MEDIATEK SoCs
In This Guide You'll Learn..
How to Port ROMs of the Same CPU
And Also..
HOW TO PORT ROM FROM A DIFFERENT SoC
Works for-

MT6589 to MT6577
MT6582 to MT6572
MT6577 to MT6575
Only ICS to ICS & JB to JB
May also work with 4.1 to 4.2
No Need of Source Code

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:

Code:

 *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...

Code:

 *system/etc/permissions
 *system/etc/security
 *system/etc/audio
 *system/etc/wifi
 *system/lib/drm
 *system/lisystem/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++
* 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!!!

Code:

 format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "0", "/system");
 mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "/system");

This is the Stock one!!

Code:

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

Now just Replace the "mmcblk0p3" from STOCK to PORT!!
It should look like this:

Code:

 format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "0", "/system");
 mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/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--

Code:

 *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

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

Code:

ro.mediatek.platform=MT65xx

Now Replace this (MT65xx) with your CPU!!
For Example

Code:

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"

Code:

set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/vendor/lib/hw/gralloc.mt65xx.so");

[Replace the mt65xx with your cpu]
Example:

Code:

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 fil PORT-[QUOTE]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

Code:

 #Create Chip Property
 on early_property:ro.hardware=mt6582
  setprop ro.mtk.hardware mt6589
  
 on early_property:ro.hardware=mt6589
  setprop ro.mtk.hardware mt6589

example :

Code:

 #Create Chip Property
 on early_property:ro.hardware=mt6582
  setprop ro.mtk.hardware mt6572
  
 on early_property:ro.hardware=mt6589
  setprop ro.mtk.hardware mt6572

* Now Compile your New boot.img and Pack your New ROM and Flash!!
Cheers!!!!

Huawei Honor 4X (荣耀4X)

今天，荣耀官方再次玩起了哑谜，虽然并没有直接宣布新机的名称，但是根据宣传海报，我们可以看出“4”以及“X”，那么新机被命名为4X的可能性还是很大的。
这款荣耀4X如果不错的话就是之前曝光的代号为樱桃的荣耀全网通新机，该机配备了：
--  5.5英寸1280*720分辨率屏幕
--  1.2GHz四核处理器
--  2GB RAM + 8GB ROM的内存组合，最大支持32GB  SD卡扩展
--  前置500万像素相机 + 后置1300万像素相机
--  运行基于Android4.4.3系统深度定制的Emotion UI
--  支持GSM,CDMA,TD-SCDMA,TD-LTE,WCDMA网络，也就是联通、移动与电信2G/3G/4G全网通
据之前的消息，荣耀全网通新机或将售价千元，将在本月底发布。

4G全网通 双卡双待 骁龙410 5.5寸720P 3000mah 2G+8G

 

佳域S3/F2终于现身 5模13频双卡双4G

当前国内手机市场的现况是-从上游厂商到运营商，再到销售终端，都在大力的推广4G，一时间4G手机成为了大家的热门关注点，即使是卖场里不懂手机的大妈，在换机也会问一声：支持4G吗？由此可见4G已深入人心。

   素来奉行“简单、实用”产品理念的佳域手机在推出了S2/G6两款中高端定位机型之后，同样开始备战4G时代，早期曾有一款型号为佳域F2的4G新品被曝光，但是从当前获得的消息来看，佳域是打算在4G时代大干一场了，不仅有F2，还有S3、S4等更多新品筹备上市，且各有看点。

当前国内手机市场的现况是-从上游厂商到运营商，再到销售终端，都在大力的推广4G，一时间4G手机成为了大家的热门关注点，即使是卖场里不懂手机的大妈，在换机也会问一声：支持4G吗？由此可见4G已深入人心。

佳域S3

   素来奉行“简单、实用”产品理念的佳域手机在推出了S2/G6两款中高端定位机型之后，同样开始备战4G时代，早期曾有一款型号为佳域F2的4G新品被曝光，但是从当前获得的消息来看，佳域是打算在4G时代大干一场了，不仅有F2，还有S3、S4等更多新品筹备上市，且各有看点。

除去MT6752八核64位处理器，定位为中端大屏性价比神器的S3其它规格也有亮点，将拥有2G RAM与3G RAM两个版本，2G RAM版会率先上市，配备一块5.5英寸FHD分辨率的屏幕，装备索尼13MP相机，电池容量超过3000毫安，并支持更换。佳域S3的跑分照片显示，该机的2G RAM版安兔兔跑分近3W7，可想而知3G RAM版应该会更高一些。

   最后来看看设计，佳域S3的大致轮廓与S2接近，S2是5英寸屏幕产品里娇小迷你型的产品之一，拥有6mm的厚度与不俗的窄边框，S3虽然还未公开具体三围信息，不过预计仍会延续S2的这些优点。

佳域F2

  与面面俱到的S3相比，佳域F2则略逊色一些，如之前传出的消息一样，佳域F2将搭载MT6582+MT6290双芯片方案，该方案已经足够成熟，目前被大量的入门级4G产品采用。虽处理器没有S3强悍，但是难能可贵的是网络部份，佳域F2将和S3一样，具备多模多频能力，可支持移动、联通双4G+双卡双待，这无疑是该机与同类产品竞争的一大有力武器。

  此外F2会采用5英寸720P分辨率的屏幕，运行内存比之前传出的数值更高，达到主流的2GB，拥有800万像素索尼CMOS摄像头，应该会内置佳域自家经于kitkat定制的系统。外观则与G3有些相似，比S3更方正一些，会拥有纤薄的厚度。 本文来自MTK手机网http://www.mtksj.com

价格以及上市时间

  相信不少关注MTK平台的老朋友都对佳域手机比较熟悉，凭借一款售价亲民的双核机G2，佳域手机收获无数网友关注，这款手机也成为了佳域旗下的经典产品， 亦是佳域手机“简实、实用”理念的代表之作，随后上市的G3、G4等产品同样奉行亲民政策，直到G6/S2的上市，这两款产品因成本更高，售价比佳域早期 的产品贵了不少，因此销量似乎并不如人意。

  现在佳域手机将重拾“简单、实用”的理念，根据我们独家获得的消息显示，拥有双卡双4G护体的佳域F2售价会很亲民，而各方面更强的佳域S3据说定价千元出头，当然3G RAM版会更贵一些，上市时间可能就在近期，后续还会有更强大的佳域S4面世。

New Xiaomi Redmi Note with Fastest Octa-core Processor Six Times Cheaper than iPhone 6 Plus

Source: gadgetzarena

Following a series of rumours over the past few months, Apple has unveiled two new iPhone models, a 4.7in variant and a large-screen model featuring 5.5in screen.

The unlocked version of 4.7in iPhone 6 is now available for purchase via UK Apple Store with suggested retail price starting from £539, whereas the 5.5in model at £619 having similar storage.
With the latest iOS 8 software and the new A8 64-bit processor, the iPhone 6 is one of the most powerful smartphone.
However, if price is the only concern for those who wish to own a budget-friendly large-screen device delivering faster performance, Xiaomi's upcoming Redmi Note could serve better.
 
Rumours are doing rounds about a new addition to Xiaomi's Redmi Note lineups, which has been spotted at Xiaomi's blog. The posting at the site reveals a few hardware features of the smartphone.
According to the listing, the successor to current Xiaomi Redmi Note will pack a MediaTek MT6595 32-bit octa-core processor with four Cortex-A17 core running clock speeds up to 2.2GHz and rest four Cortex-A7 cores clocked up to 1.7GHz, while paired with 3GB RAM.

The MediaTek MT6595 octa-core is said to be the fastest processor and has scored 47, 233 points in the AnTuTu benchmarks, adds Chinese site gadgetzarena. 

The blog post further states that new Redmi handset will sport a 5.5in full HD display, 20.7 megapixel rear-camera, an eight megapixel front-camera and a huge 3, 500mAh battery supporting faster charging capability. In terms of connectivity, the smartphone will support 4G LTE networks speed, NFC and some gesture sensors.

The new Redmi Note will have 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB variants with price tag bearing $165, $215 and $245 respectively. The price for the 128GB model is unknown.
 
While comparing this with 5.5in Phone 6 Plus, next Redmi Note with the same screen size is six times cheaper.

小米可能推出1499元红米新机

MX4为导火索，近日小米与魅族开始了新一轮“战争”，就连MX4采用了MTK处理器也被拿来说事，借“帮MTK上官网”的名义对魅族大肆抨击，逼得联发科官方人士现身澄清：不提MTK6595是因为“两家公司事先达成默契”，目的是让MT6595的真实表现来征服大家。事实上魅族MX4的相关评测中，联发科这款当前性能最强的SOC确实得到了不少赞。

既然软的不行，小米方面似乎打算来硬碰硬的，小米副总裁黎万强日前抛出推出新机的话题，可能会在红米系列增加一款旗舰级产品，售价1499元！

很明显，黎万强所说的这款1499元红米旗舰就是针对MX4而推出，根据小米官方的意思，这款红米新机种可能继续会采用MTK处理器，而且预计会采用与魅 族MX4一样的MT6595八核LTE SOC，也只有这样才具备宣传效果，你我平台一样，我就是要比你便宜。不过稍稍关注过MX4的机友都了解，魅族MX4除了首发MTK6595八核，其设计 工艺、强大的拍照硬件以及flyme等都是可圈点的地方，受限于成本，1499元的红米新机很难在其它方面超越MX4，君不见售1999元的小米4采用的 也是奥氏体304不锈钢。

 一直以来红米系列的用料、外观设计都给人“大众”感，除了低价，似乎并没有太多值得特别关注的地方。此外站在用户的角度，红米新机能否与魅族MX4分庭抗 礼并不重要，如果小米真有决心在红米系列上做出一部精品机，估计关注的用户不会少，通过微博评论能看到这种“渴望”。

结合当前环境来看，这事还有很多的不确定性，且行且期待吧。
