So first of all, i will start with, You should have proper
knowledge on what you are doing and what this is all about. If
you dont know whats going on with this post. You can hit the X
(close) button and go to sleep as this is not for you. Plus Most
Importantly you will need a Mind, in working Condition.
Please note that the rom you wanna port should be of same CPU
Like Mtk6577=>Mtk6577. Also somehow you can upgrade a
rom like mtk6577=>mtk6589 but you can never downgrade
mtk6589=>mtk6577. In my experience you can take any
resolution phone for port. I.e. once i ported a MMX 110 5''
display rom to my iball andi 4.5'' display. And it actually
worked . Kudos!
This is a tutorial on how i port/make new roms for my lovely
device and boosts its appearance and ram and overall
experience.
Caution: Do it at your own risk. Don't blame me for anything.
You are doing at you own will. If you broke something don't
point finger at me. Just let me know ill try to help you out. If
you don't know what's going on then you should probably read
other posts on my blog.
Whats needed:
1. A Pc/Laptop
2. Java and all other android related things installed i.e.
ADB ,etc
3. XDA kitchen
4. Cygwin
5. A Base rom( Which you have as stock or which is
currently running smoothly) - Your stock rom
6. A Port rom (which you wanna port) - A rom which is not
meant for your device but have same specs and you want
to port it to your phone.
7. A Mind (MOST IMPORTANT) if not. Please Leave. xD
Okay Lets Go,
1> Download JAVA JDK from its official site or download from
Here and install it. It will take few minutes.
2> Then Download Latest Android Kitchen from Here
3> Download Cygwin from Here
Run the Cygwin setup.exe and select the defaults for the
installation paths, such as:
- install from internet
- install to C:\cygwin
Now read carefully:
At the 'Select Packages' screen, go to the 'Search'
box to look for the following package:
* gcc (found under 'Devel')
- Click on the '+' symbol at the section it's found
under
- Then find this single package (only the one with
this exact name, not multiple similarly-named
ones!) and click 'Skip' once so that it changes to
show a version number
Go back to the Search box and repeat the above
steps for the rest of the packages:
* perl (found under 'Interpreters')
* cpio (found under 'Utils')
* util-linux (found under 'Utils')
* ncurses (found under 'Utils')
* zip (found under 'Archive')
* unzip (found under 'Archive')
* wget (found under 'Web')
4> Press Next to process the installation and install the
packages needed for making a custom roms.
5>When installation has been completed, click on your
new Cygwin desktop shortcut. This will open a terminal
session that will run some initialization.
With the Cygwin terminal still open, we need to
configure the path to the Java application so that it can
be executed within Cygwin.
Your Cygwin is now ready for the kitchen!
Please compare the following picture with your
preparation:
Unzip the Android Kitchen to the C:\cygwin\home
\ Username folder
Now fire up cygwin and type command "cd kitchen"
without inverted commas.
Then type ./menu
and hit enter.
Now you will see a window like this.
Now i will directly guide you how i port roms and
skip anything else:
Just enter "00" hit enter, and then "28" and hit enter
Now you will see a window asking two options,
Type "a" and hit enter.
now go to C:\cygwin\home\username\kitchen
\original_update
and place the two roms 1)Stock or currently working
rom 2) Port Rom
-Now Go back to the kitchen menu and hit enter. Now it
will ask you to choose the stock rom. Choose the rom
which is currently working for you and hit enter.
-Now it will ask you to choose the rom you wanna port.
Choose it and hit enter.
-READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY AND PRESS ENTER.
Let it port the boot.imgs for you.
Have patience it will take some time.
It will extract kernels, decompile it, port it, recompile
it,etc. So let it work and have a cup of coffee in
meanwhile.
-Now it will end and it will get back you to the porting
menu. (CONSIDER THAT DONE AND EXIT)
-Now Go to the C:\cygwin\home\username\kitchen\ and
you will see a working folder.
-Go to it. And now just copy the modified boot.img from
that folder and copy it to the orginal ported rom you
downloaded earlier from my previous posts or any other
original ported rom you wanna port for your device.
-Open the rom zip file with Winrar and replace the
boot.img
-Now just put it in root of SD CARD and flash it with your
suitable recovery. If the specs of the port rom is same
you will run the newly cooked rom without any errors XD
And if you hit an error let me know ill show you how to
Solve that.
Thanks readers. Have fun Porting.
