Hi All,
This Guide is For Lenovo K3 Note Other devices can use it but some files may vary.
Here is a quick guide for getting the basics of the rom working.
Display, sound ,GSM (3g) and Wifi .
I used this for CyanogenMOD based ROMS and MIUI and it worked for me.
If anyone finds additional items or wants to complete this guide please feel free to add it in here.
Please remember, i am posting this so that people will try things and usually when they do, they end up finding something better and awesome than not trying.
I use this from stock and make it a zip file so it makes easy porting by just dragging the system folder with stock files to the rom to be ported and replace.
NOTE: ALWAYS REMOVE RECOVERY-FROM-BOOT.P before you do anything else.
FOR CROSS PORT
SO THE FILES NEEDED TO REPLACE FROM STOCK TO PORT:
BIN FOLDER:
Code:
afm_server
akmd09911
applysig
audiocmdservice_atci
climax
custom_sn
encfs
factory
factory_reset.sh
fusermount
gzip_static
ipod
kpoc_charger
mtkbt
nvram_proximity
seeder
updater
vold
IF YOU THINK SOME FILES ARE ABSENT, DONT WORRY JUST SKIP THEM

---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------
I ended again with black screen when porting cm12.1 from redmi note 2 Is it caused by another size of ram Because my device has 3gb ram and redmi note 2 has 2gb.

Help me with bootloop please
Hi sandeep.sethi!
Today i port your aicp 5.1.1 from k3 note to be touch 2(stock rom is android 5.0.1) and i got bootloop . I edited mount points and replaced all files as your guide says.
Do i need to port kernel or anything else when my device has 3gb ram and k3 note has 2gb ram All specs are same except the ram size.
Stock rom is 5.0.1, but alex1112 port cm12.1(5.1.1) to be touch 2, so do i need to port kernel from alex1112 cm12.1 or from my stock rom to AICP?
Is this guide for same android version ex. 50.1 to 5.0.1?
Thanks in advance and have a good day

How to port manufacturer ROM
As many people ask me how i’m porting ROMs to my Nexus S i share my method in this thread.
This method works for the Nexus but should also work on a lot of devices. The list of files that I would write in this thread is not exhaustive.
Please for all improvements, send me a MP. I’m french and it’s possible for me to misspellings
This thread is in constant progress thanks to your feedback.
Do not use this guide to port rom based on CM / AOSP roms. Please use this guide to port Sense / TouchWizz / Motoblur etc ... If you want to port based on AOSP roms there are others guide on XDA.
This method is not perfect, much work will then be necessary to fix all the bugs, and nothing says that this method is functional rather than every time ....
I. What you need
Ubuntu and dsixda's Android Kitchen. Please refer to this link
Notepad++
Winrar
A brain =)
NB : Before you start porting a ROM you need to know several things. Over the phone you want to port the rom will have a hardware close to your, more porting will be simple and functional.
Example : Same screen resolution, processor of the same type (ARM6, ARM7, etc ....)
PORT is the ROM you want to port and BASE is the ROM developed for your device (AOSP/CM)
II. Let’s go !
1. Create new folder where you want and name it « Rom_port_for_yourdevice »
2. Download AOSP/CM developed for you device with the same android version which the rom you want to port
3. Download the rom you want to PORT
4. Extract each zip ROM in separate folder in « Rom_port_for_yourdevice »
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. Now it will appears two folders. Open both.
In PORT folder delete META-INF folder and copy/paste the META-INF folder of BASE in PORT folder.
6. Open system folder in PORT rom and delete vendor folder
7. Now in PORT folder open lib folder and delete these folders :
modules
hw
egl
8. Now go in BASE folder and select (if exists) these folders :
addon.d
bin
etc
customize
framework
lib
vendor
xbin
Now copy these in system folder of PORT but do not replace anything ! (If forgot « ETC » folder on screenshot)
9. Open bin folder in BASE and PORT folders. Copy and replace these files from BASE to PORT :
adb
brcm_patchram_plus
hostap
hostapd
init.vsnet
linker
logcat
logwrapper
radiooptions
rild
rmt_storage
vold
wpa_cli
wpa_supplicant
glgps
10. Now in BASE and PORT system folder open etc folder and copy and replace (if exist) these files/folders from BASE to PORT :
Bluetooth
Dhcpcd
Firmware
gps
init.d
permissions
ppp
pppd
security
ssh
terminfo
updatecmds
wifi
audio_effects.conf
audio_policy.conf
dbus.conf
gps.conf
init.*.sh
media_codecs.xml
media_profiles.xml
nfcee_access.xml
secomxregistry
vold.conf
vold.fstab
wrs_omxil_components.list
11. Now copy usr folder from BASE to PORT and replaces all files
12. Open lib folder in BASE and PORT folders. Copy and replace these files from BASE to PORT :
liblog.so
libsecril-client
libreference-ril.so
libril.so
libs3cjpeg.so
libaudioflinger.so (if port does not boot, use from PORT rom)
libaudioutils.so
libtinyalsa.so
libpn544_fw.so
libSEC_OMX_Core.so
libOMX.SEC.***.Decoder.so
For HTC devices:
libhardware_legacy.so
libhtc_ril.so
libhtc_ril_switch.so
For LGE devices:
lge-ril.so
More commonly:
Add all the lib files with "ril" in their name
13. Open framework folder in BASE and PORT folders. In both folder rename framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.zip and open the two files with Winrar.
In both files go to /res/xml/ and replace storage_list.xml of PORT framework-res.apk with the one of BASE.
Now close Winrar and rename framework-res.apk.zip in framework-res.apk in both folders.
14. Very important: By the way, there are some proprietary binaries missing from the guide (just depending on the device, as it's impossible to include all), so what I recommend is if your device has official cm, go to github.com/themuppets, pick the repo corresponding to your manufacturer and branch corresponding to your android version and download it and copy the files in your device's folder to the ROM you are porting. Lib to lib, bin to bin, etc. You may also need to look at the Mk files in the cm device source for your device to see what is built from source that you'll need such as libs and bins. For example, if it has Product_packages += \libwifi \
You would need to copy libwifi from cm. [/QUOTE]
Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41294434&postcount=23
15. Now open build.prop of PORT rom and replace these lines with BASE build.prop :
Code:
ro.product.model=
ro.product.brand=
ro.product.name=
ro.product.device=
ro.product.board=
ro.product.cpu.abi=
ro.product.cpu.abi2=
ro.product.manufacturer=
ro.wifi.channels=
ro.board.platform=
ro.build.product=
ro.build.characteristics=
rild.libpath=
rild.libargs=
wifi.interface=
16. Reboot to Ubuntu.
Steps for android 4.3 and older
Open dsixda's Android Kitchen
Decompile both boot.img/kernel
Open both init.rc files
In CM/AOSP kernel replace BOOTCLASSPATH by the one from PORT boot.img ROM
Save and recompile kernel
Use CM/AOSP modified kernel in your rom.
Steps for android 4.4 and newer
Open dsixda's Android Kitchen
Decompile both boot.img/kernel
Open both init.environ.rc files
In CM/AOSP kernel replace BOOTCLASSPATH by the one from PORT boot.img ROM
In CM/AOSP kernel do these changes:
--> ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0
--> ro.debuggable=0 to ro.debuggable=1
--> persist.sys.usb.config=mtp to persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb
--> ro.adb.secure=1 to ro.adb.secure=0
Save and recompile kernel
Use CM/AOSP modified kernel in your rom.
17. Now ZIP your PORT rom folder and flash it.
Please don't forget to use LOGCAT to debug the rom..... And to thanks or/and donate to me .....
Thanks !

Copy libcamera*.so from base to port rom
If rom does not boot after that, replace file one by one and see which file is the problem.
If you port on HTC Devices, try these:Fix Network auto select
Decompile framework-res.apk
Go to this folder \framework-res\res\values
Open bools.xml
Change <bool name="skip_restoring_network_selection">true</bool>
To Change <bool name="skip_restoring_network_selection">false</bool>
Fix graphichal issues
Decompile framework.jar
Change these files with your CM base

Use CM10 and not CM10.1 to have the same version.
Try it i hope it will work
thank you for reply i saw your threads you ported lot of roms do you think it will boot
but sadly i use windows 7 so there is no way to decombile the kernel

I don't know if it will boot, when i do a port i never know if it will boot ^^
Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
You could use kitchen in windows but it's not optimal i think.
i guess that the only way is install the Ubuntu and decombile kernel and make changes then combile it and copy the kernel to phone and back to windows (need a lot of time)

You need to use CM kernel for Nexus S and to modify it with the BOOTCLASSPATH of Galaxy S Kernel.
Send me the boot.img of Nexus S and the boot.img of Galaxy S i will check that

Nice, the first actual tutorial on this instead of "just replace all apps/framework and media folder" which is a load of bull****,
Good job
Will this guide work if you want to port LG Stock ROM to another LG device? Like you ported O4X to Optimus Black.. I can use this guide to port O4X stock ROM to O2X?
Also, when porting stock ROM, I will need CM10 as base ROM or I must use same android version as the ROM I am porting?
Thanks.

Okay, can you please link me to the one you used as port (the O4X ROM) and do you recommend me to use that one as port or shall I use the one you already ported for Optimus Black as port?
PS: Is it easy to change bootclasspath?
Hello XDA members, in this guide, i'll give you the easiest way to porting rom for your device, i've broken my porting record by ported 5 roms in less than 1 hour using this method, have enjoy and hope it'll works for you too
What you need ?
- Rom base (CM or AOSP)
- Rom port (any roms that you like to port)
- Apktool (for compiling .apk and .jar files)
- Note++ (for editing .txt and .xml files)
- Winrar or 7zip (for extracting and repacking rom)
- dsixda's Android Kitchen, you really need this to Port MIUI, PAC, and Slimrom
- Open mind and never give up to trying
Rules
1. Find the rom port with similar CPU like your device, clock speed doesn't matter here, the important is the number of CPU Cores, if your device is single core, find the single core rom, dual-core with dual-core, etc
2. Forget about screen sizes(4, 5, or 7 inci), the important is screen DPI(pixels destiny) you can port rom from tablet or devices that have bigger/smaller screen sizes
example
> LDPI & LDPI
> MDPI & MDPI
> HDPI & HDPI
> xHDPI & xHDPI
> etc
3. Same Android SDK version(Check in build.prop)
Example, you can port Android 4.4.3 using Android 4.4.2
4. GSM and GSM, CDMA and CDMA
Step by step
Extract booth of the roms(rom base and rom port)
> In rom port folder <
1. Delete all files and folders except "system" folder
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Delete these folders and files in system
> tts
> usr
> vendor
> build.prop
3. Delete these folders in system/etc
> Bluetooth
> Firmware (if exist)
> Wifi
4. Delete these folders in system/lib
> hw
> modules
5. Go to system/framework
> Open framework-res.apk
> Go to res/xml
> Replace storage-list.xml with your rom base
> In rom base folder <
1. Copy all files and folders except "system" to rom port folder
2. Copy these folders and files in system folder to rom port system folder
> tts
> usr
> vendor
> build.prop
3. Copy these folders in system/etc to rom port system/etc
> Bluetooth
> Firmware (if exist)
> Wifi
4. Copy these folders in system/lib to rom port system/lib
> hw
> modules
Repack the rom then flash it in the recovery
Now the rom port should booted(to menu) now, not stuck on bootanimation anymore
if you still stuck on bootanimation, check bootclasspath in boot.img, unpack it, and check in "init.environ.rc", use note++ to edit it, there's must be something miss there
If the rom doesn't boot to menu or stuck on manufacturer logo(LG, Sony, Samsung, etc), find the same rom port from other devices. I've this experience while porting Liquid Smooth, then i used other devices and it's booted
Notes :
If you successful ported the rom, please do these before your releasing your ROM
> Ask the permission from the developers of the rom base and rom port
> Give credit for them
> And give credit for me too if you using this guide
> And don't forget to hit THANKS button
For porting MIUI Kitkat, you need to unpack boot.img from both roms, then do these
- Copy paste init.miui.rc from rom port to rom base ramdisk folder
- Open init.rc from both roms, then compare it, there's some line you need to be edited...
Troubleshooting
Now, to fix some issues in rom port, do these...
1. Information about rom
Open build.prop from booth of the rom then edit information just like the rom port
You can edit these lines in build.prop
# begin build properties
# autogenerated by buildinfo.sh
ro.build.display.id=
ro.build.date=
ro.build.user=
ro.build.host=
ro.product.name=
ro.product.locale.language=
ro.product.locale.region=
ro.cm.device=
# end build properties
#
# ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES
#
persist.sys.root_access=
ro.modversion= > replace with rom port
ro.cm.version= > you can delete this
ro.config.ringtone=
ro.config.notification_sound=
ro.config.alarm_alert=
ro.sf.lcd_density=
and the other lines relating information about rom
2. RIL
Replace these files in rom port with your rom base files
system/bin/rild
system/lib/libreference-ril.so
system/lib/libril.so
system/lib/librilutils.so
system/lib/libsec-ril.so
system/lib/libsecril-client.so
And add any files with "ril" in the name of file
3. Sensor
Replace these files in rom port with your rom base files
system/bin/sensord
system/bin/sensorservice
system/lib/libsensorservice.so
system/lib/libhardware.so
system/lib/libhardware_legacy.so
4. WiFi
Replace these files in rom port with your rom base files
system/bin/wifimac
system/bin/wpa_cli
system/bin/wpa_supplicant
system/lib/libwpa_client.so
5. Missing files
You have to copy the rest of files in base rom to port rom to make rom better, but don't replace it if the files/folders was exist
6. Files can be replace in your ported rom using files from base rom
Bin

Thanks for this Awesome Guide
Will Try and let u know
Great guide.. is there a way we can get Tmobile Z1S stock rom (with wifi calling) to Z ultra? I am ready to do it myself with some guidance.
Great guide, ported a hellkat rom with it
Thanks for the guide but it's more interesting to port KitKat (4.4.x) to Jelly Bean (4.3.x), like Xperia ZR 4.4 ROM to Xperia SP with only 4.3 available. It's Qualcomm, many things possible with it. Any ideas?

Haish, AOSP is smoother than CM11 because it's not modified (Pure android).
Btw, you can't get anything diffirent if you rebased overlay to CM11

Bugs
Known bugs:
smart lock with NFC crashes settings
Mobile network is always half the signal strength
Mute not working in calls
Message while flashing in recovery
I'm getting a message: "mount failed dev/block/mmcblk0p12 at /data: Device or resource busy"
That is because of the new type of flashing. It's still flashing though and takes a while. Be patient.
Bootloop
My device bootloops! What can I do?
Before thinking your device is bootlooping, give it at the very least 5 minutes, art takes a while to optimize during the 1st boot.
If that doesn't work, try philz latetst touch recovery.
Get it here
Download the .tar file if you want to flash using Odin.
Use the .zip file if you already have a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP etc)
If that doesn't work, get usefull logs.
See here...
Keyboard isn't working
[EDIT]
SOLVED IN BETA1!!!
Whaaa, I have no keyboard, whats wrong?
Enable "Hardware" on Keyboard settings
No 3G/data
Moster2 said:
How to get working data
1. Download this small shell script here.
2. Put in on your internal storage /sdcard. Via file browser or
Code:
adb push data_on.sh /sdcard/
3. Open the terminal emulator app. Then type the following:
Code:
su
sh /sdcard/data_on.sh
Important: You need working root (supersu or superuser) and do this every time you enable 2G/3G data. Also, you have to have data enabled when executing this script.

CM11 features
CM11 feature 'x' isn't working anymore/missing, when is it available again?
Don't ask for features or ETA's.
The devs are doing this in their spare time FOR FREE!
If you can, you can try to help by learning how to build and code the features (see Building your own CM12 build for the i9300 below)
Changelog
Mainly only new CM12 commits.
Best and easiest what you can do is check this site: http://www.cmxlog.com/12
Dual boot
Can I dual boot this ROM?
Yes:
Extended tutorial with screenshots here
well you can only dualboot LolliPop if it is 1st ROM, i.e you can not use multiboot.zip to flash the alpha CM12 to 2nd ROM directly
you have to backup current apps on the ROM,
wipe data/factory reset from Philz Recovery provided by arter97,
install the Alpha CM12 zip,
then flash arter97 kernel (4.0-beta1),
then flash multiboot.zip followed by the ROM you want and restore your apps when booting in the 2nd ROM
BUT...
- You can't do phone calls (IMEI and Baseband was OK)
- You can't pull down the notification bar, I tried, tried, one finger, two, staring it... but don't... T_T
Because of arter97 kernel
Nameless 2.0 commits
I found the commits of Nameless, can we use it to get 3G working?
No, those commits aren't complete yet.

@RoadXY
I have installed cm12 alpha 2 (now update to 3) with multiboot zip as second Rom.... My first Rom is stock 4.3 and second Rom cm12 with working call.... I use the arter kernel In all the two Rom and I have last twrp
I do this:
-Have first Rom with arter kernel (beta2)
-go to recovery (last twrp) flash multiboot zip and, WITHOUT restart recovery flash cm12,gapps,arter kernel.... Than restart to first Rom and use aSwitch to go to second Rom.... Now you see cm12 bootanimation and WAIT a lot (I don't care how much time) first time I think is bootloop but after try again I'm waiting and is start.... After start i go again in recovery and after flash multiboot zip I flash the last beta of super Su to have full working root....
Hope this can helpful and add to faq

No, not currently. But I'm no dev.
Hey guys! Guess what? I'm currently busy on porting the Android N Developer Preview 2 ROM from the Xperia Z3 to Z2! Hope this turns out stable!
Here is the Download link to the ROM below:
Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/hp8fnbbxkbb4f/Android N Xperia Z2
IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!
For anyone or everyone saying that I'm, or that this OP is a troll, please stop. This is a WIP, and the ROM did indeed work (when I still had my PC.) I did follow a ROM port guide the first time when it was successful, but now I don't know which one it is. I have contacted some ROM porters for help so I guess that I should wait for an answer to let them help me port it. And for this ROM, it's NOT for stable use yet. This is just for people wanting to test and see if it works at all. If you have your PC at the moment then please and try to fix it yourself. (I'll add you to credits.) Anyway, sorry about the inconvenience, but please don't call me a troll becuase I'm not! �� Cheers.
BUT BEFORE DOWNLOAD, READ THE STEPS BELOW. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEVICE BRICKS ETC. THIS ROM IS FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER PHONES ONLY HAVING MODEL NUMBER OF D6503.
Better safe then sorry. Create a ROM backup of your device in TWRP before installing the ROM in Recovery! Download ZipMe from the Play Store to backup some of your important data!
1: Download all of the files that you want to flash from the link given above and place them in the Root of your sdcard.
3: Download the updater-script FOR ROM FIX file and rename the file to updater-script.
4: Extract the ROM and replace the updater-script from the one you downloaded earlier with the one in the ROM (META-INF/google/com/android folder I think.). REZIP the ROM.
5: Reboot into recovery. Click on Wipe then "Adcanced Wipe." Wipe Dalvik Cache, Cach, System, Data, and Internal Storage.
6: Go back after finished. Flash the Android N ROM, then the Optional files. (Root, Media Apps, & And Smoother Boot Animation, backed up data etc.)
7: Flash the custom Kernel. (Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-advanced-stock-kernel-t3347413)
8: Reboot and Enjoy!!!
If anything isn't working or your stuck in a bootloop, try and flash the bootloop fix file from here: https://mega.nz/#!AJcwERiQ!FUmk6eS5aoVsFSZ1f4WZIELIt7sckPCj11n0AIdCNzU
If your still stuck in a bootloop, then the ROM may not be compatible with your device. Use Flashtool to flash back to Lollipop/Marshmallow and wait for a ROM that's compatible with your Phone.

THANKS!!!
BTW this ROM is different from the one i installed. i have managed and tried to fix some issues like the camera, but if anything isn't working then just please report it. Thanks.!
Below Are Some Problems That You May Encounter.
-The Multi-Window is EXTREMELY laggy.
-Some apps don't work such as the Beta Program App Settings. (But then again, it's expected from a port. XD)
-Recovery (TWRP) may no longer work. You can try and install a Kernel and Recovery your self, but be sure to make a Backup before risking your phone into a Bootloop.
-My Bootloader is unlocked, so I HIGHLY recommend only flashing this ROM if you have a Unlocked Bootloader. If not, wait for a Locked Bootloader version!
-No more Sony Media Apps (Walkman Music, Album, Video etc.) after flashing ROM, so flash the Sony Media Apps zip after ROM to restore the Media Apps.
-The Boot Animation is EXTREMLY slow and laggy, (5-8fps) so please flash the Smoother Boot Animation zip after ROM flashed to ensure a smoother, 30fps Boot Animation.
I haven't encountered any other problems as of now, but I will update the list if I find a bug! And once I receive a problem or bug, I will try to patch it and upload it as a Flashable zip file to fix the bug. A Screenshot of Home Screen from Z2 Android N ROM is attached below...
Once the link is given and doesn't work on your device, just tell me the problem that it's going through, give me your device details, (LB or UB device, Model number, IMEI etc.) and I'll double check the ROM and will try to make supported for your device!
As you can see in the screenshot attachment down below, i have changed some of my icons (like the app icons and status bar icons) back to stock Xperia. I wasn't a BIG fan of all of the AOSP icons.

Guess what? i'm already busy zipping all the files together ready for upload. The upload link will be available around 3 May 2016 since i can't upload now due to TERRIBLE Upload speed. next week will have access to much faster upload speeds and I will upload the download link then. Thanks for comment!
Will it work on LB also?

Bro, once you got the zip ready and uploaded, I can help uploading it to other sites like mega or drive as well. Just hit me up or allow me. My internet is fast AF. The work you're doing here is outstanding.

The ROM is working pretty good so far. It isn't 100% fast and stable but it works pretty well. For the bugs, the camera is most of the time unresponsive (Probably because I forgot to change the camera settings and stuff before installing it.) The camera also sometimes force closes. As for the Multi-Window, it's almost totally unusable but I think this is because of the CPU and not the ROM. And some apps also don't work at all, such as the Beta Program App Settings, The Notification bar glitching too small etc. Hopefully i will fix these bugs before final upload! Fingers crossed. X0

Download the FTF via Xperifirm. MM's version number ends in .570.
Then flash using Flashtool. You can choose to wipe or not to wipe data if you're coming from stock lollipop. Just uncheck 'wipe data'. If you follow the steps properly, you should have a smooth upgrade to MM!
Also - could you release a version without the edited status bar icons etc?
Multiwindow maybe working when edit buildprop debug to userdebug ?
This is crazy, only few weeks after the official mm ROM we be gettin Android N. I'm hella shocked right now. We own it to my bruh Brandon

Ur ROM might work wit this recovery
good job！！！
Hi. First thank you for doing this.
You could provide us some information what you did with the N Z3 build to make it work on Z2 so we can reproduce it. I guess you used the Z3 system image and replaced the kernel with a Z2 one. What else was needed to make it work?
Thank you very much.

How to Install:
*PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A FULL BACKUP
BEFORE PROCEEDING...*
TWRP
-DOWNLOAD LINK
-Boot into recovery mode [ adb reboot recovery ]
-Wipe : Data, Cache, Dalvik, System
-Install ViperOSBetav2.zip
-After completed install Gapps
-Wipe Dalvik/Art and Cache
-Reboot system
SP Flash Tool
-Find a good tutorial for setting up SPFT - there is too much for me to rewrite here and get it right
-Load Scatter file from download -----> LINK
-Make sure only download is selected in SPFT
-Hit download and connect watch whilst powered OFF
-Wait for Success
-Reboot system
Please allow some time for initial boot. The spinning logo will be onscreen for 5+ minutes.
If flashing by SP Flash Tool, this will allocate 13Gb to System storage and 1Gb to user storage.
You will also need to register you device with Google Play so follow an online proceedure for
pulling your device ID and authorizing it.
I try and release a storage fix patch for ther SPFL version.

Of course feel free to mod it to get it working on more devices. Just if you post it up please copy the credits so the work by the teams involved is recognized (just look at the end of my post for their details)
I would suggest you try the 5.1 custom ROM I uploaded as this is much more stable and my daily driver. Battery life is off the scale compared to stock OS, and everything except the sensors work. Who really needs to know their fake heart rate anyway...
I also have a EMUI ROM available if you want it, but the dpi is messed up and as such you need to drive the icon size way down to get the screen to look usable - which in turn makes it unusable. However you might have better luck on a different watch.
Keep us updated and share if successful.
Hi,
I have tried the ROM on my LEM5 (not Pro) without enabling the pre-loader. At first everything works fine when going through the initial setup, but right after getting to the home screen it hangs and gets into a boot loop unfortunately. So had to revert back to my previous ROM, do you think it would possible to create a non-Pro version as well?
Thanks.

Unfortunately I only own an X5 Air so wouldn't be able to test anything I ported for other devices. I don't want to take up peoples time asking them to test things out that have a high chance of not working. Its just 10 fold easier having the device at hand to debug it.
I personally found this build too buggy for my liking, and I experienced the occasional reboot / kernel panic.
Have you tried the Resurrection Rom (5.1)? - its far more stable.
I just done this to see if nougat could run on the older kernel.
Thanks for your response, I will give the Resurrection Rom a try.
X-Bo V5 handset with MT6580 and 3.10.72 kernel SPFT
Hi,
I have an X-Bo V5 handset with an MT6580 chipset and 3.10.72 kernel. Do you know where I can get an custom rom based on Lineage OS for this, NOT using TWRP (must be SP Flash Tool).
I thought your rom was it, but I realise it's for a smart watch! The download process completed with a success tick, but it bricked my phone lol. Luckily I was able to restore the stock rom.
Any ideas where I can get a Lineage OS based rom for X-Bo V5 handset with MT6580 chipset and 3.10.72 kernel? Must have scatter file for installation using SP Flash Tool, twrp cannot work on this device.

There only appears to be official firmware for the X-Bo that I've came across anyway. If TWRP is unavailable for the device then this would probably attribute to the lack of custom firmware available. Your best bet would be finding a generic MT6580 rom and porting it into your existing SP files.
You only really need system.img and boot.img however will than more likely - unless you are very lucky with file sizes - need to create a fresh scatter file. Ive used WR_MTK_v2.30 a few times and the scatter function works well. There are some excellent guides here on xda.
Good luck.
Thanks CerebralFlex!
Can you recommend a no-frills generic MT6580 rom I could try? I’ve clicked on so many dead links lol
Peter
Hi, Im a little confused with this custom rom thing. Ive got a Phillips S358 phone with the processor and kernel specified on the op, will it work or is it only for some specific devices?

Sorry for the delay mate; its hard to suggest a generic rom cause peoples idea of generic differs a fair bit, but if I was too suggest anything, it would be Lineage OS. See if you can find a MT6580 port, or better yet, try and find a phone similar in hardware to your X-Bo and see if there is one for that.
By this I mean, I'm using the Finow X5 smartwatch, and this shares very similar hardware to say the Infinix X510 (Hot 2) so I can near enough get any rom for the X510 booting on the smartwatch.
Just keep an eye on your kernel level and and your good to go if your current kernel matches.
So say: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hot-2/orig-development/rom-t3596838
If your X-Bo is running Marshmallow and 3.18.x then this has a good chance at working.

Hi
There is a good chance it will work yes, but you will need to port it using your stock resources. Pretty much as long as the ROM matches your processor and kernel level then it will be possible to get it to boot up. Its just a matter of if any specific hardware (native to Phillips) is used, you will need to adapt the drivers in the ROM to utilize it. So things like the camera for example is a pain to get working and even some of the most experienced chefs out there cant get it to work properly.
All part of the fun and games learning to port software.
But in short, no, this ROM as downloaded, is for the Finow X5 smartwatch. But nothing stopping you importing your kernel to the boot.img and giving it a bash.

Reflash stock ROM using SP Flash Tool
I'm not sure why it wont boot for you, I suggest using TWRP to flash the Lineage or RR ROM I posted a while back. These both work better than Viper.
I downloaded all 3 of your Roms and none worked , I use TWRP 303 by jemmini
