I just shared a Porting Guide, Because people have trouble porting Lewa OS to their MT6572(bootup issues) and I will also provide support if you have issues
ONLY FOR PERSONAL USE
If you want to share please take permission and give proper credits and give link to this post
TO PORT TO YOUR DEVICE :
1. Port the Kernel to prevent bootup issues guide here : Port Kernel
2. Replace the ported boot.img with the boot.img in the Lewa OS ROM
Note : No need to change mount points
3. Flash
If You Error 6 or 7 in recovery use this Meta-INF : META-INF
If You Error 6 or 7 in recovery use this Meta-INF : META-INF
Note : If using the Meta-INF created by me you must change mount points.
TO CHANGE MOUNT POINTS :
* 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
*If you do not have stock META-INF then connect your device and open MTK Droid tool and select Block Map and find the respective Mount points
* 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!!!
* Do the same for the Stock ROM
*If you do not have stock META-INF then connect your device and open MTK Droid tool and select Block Map and find the respective Mount points
* 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...

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");

Is otg possible to port in this device's kernel? I tried but not worked.
ReplyDeleteOTG is not supported
DeleteI know that but I mean can we port OTG?
DeleteHi Ajit. I ported and install the ROM. But there's no playstore. How to get it man? Any suggestion.
ReplyDeletethere is already play store in this ROM. When you open play store it directly closes that is your problem right ? try to open it 3-4 times it will open after that. If it is not fixed go to settings>app>all
Deletethen find play store open it and then scroll down and click clear all data then reboot, it should be fixed
No man. Playstore is not there. I did not find it anywhere. Only Google setting is there. How can i install playstore?
Deleteactually there is but i will upload a zip, flash it and you will get playstore wait for some time
Deleteok Thanx man. U r great. God bless you.
ReplyDeletethank you,
Deletei updated the post, there is a play store fix just below the download link
hi i ported this to my 6572 device but i have errors.
ReplyDelete1. the /system is mounted as read-only, thus i can't root it using framaroot's barahir exploit. even when i pre-rooted the rom by placing the su binary to /system/xbin and the supersu.apk to /system/app, the root still wont work
2. i can't seem to connect to any wifi networks, not even my own.it is stuck on obataining ip address and then it keeps saying that the signal is weak or poor.
the ROM is already as far as I know (not tested)
Deletereplace /system/etc/wifi from stock to port
i'll try this fix tomorrow. i assume this is for wifi right ? how about the /system partition being mounted as read-only ? is there any fix for that ? .. i tried modifying the mounts on default.prop and init.rc but still no luck
Deleteyes for wifi, go to mtk droid tools press ROOT and follow the instructions, please email me : ajit4guraya@gmail.com easy to answer back
DeleteHey man, this is the updater-script of lewa
ReplyDeleteformat("ext4", "EMMC", "/emmc@android", "0");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/emmc@android", "/system");
and this is the stock updater-script
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4", "/system");
what should i do?
you have eyes right ? the post clearly says you do not need to change mount points if using the Lewa updater-script
Deleteapparently, the fix did not work, anyway, im working on trying to change each and every file that has a 'wifi' on its name. if i can get it back to work, ill be back. tnx :)
ReplyDeleteport using my new porting guide, it can be found in the Tutorial section, with that you will be able to get your wifi back
Deletewell apparently the guide for porting jellybean roms are broken
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean ? i and many others have ported the ROM using the jellybean porting guide and have been successful
DeleteWill it work on Videocon a15+ which has mt6572
ReplyDeleteWill it work on Videocon a15+ which has mt6572
ReplyDeleteyou have to be running android 4.2.2 and you have to port it first
DeleteThis is the buggy version, you see About Phone > SD Card : NO (i guess you actually have sdcard mounted, but displayed NO).
ReplyDeleteTry to port from another source eg: AMOI-N828, and that issue is fixed (tested by me).
May i know when you tap on Settings > Storage is it FC or not?
i had removed the SD card while taking screenshots
Deleteno it does not FC. you must replace vold.fstab and vold.fstab.nand from stock to port
Try inserting SDCARD, and see what displayed there...
DeleteIs it dual 3G(swap)
ReplyDeleteAnd there are so many problem it seem, are they all solved in the file for download?
Thanks...
dual 3G supported.
Deletethere are no bugs at all
no 3g support in this rom. network mode hasn't 3g enabling.
ReplyDeletethere is 3G fully tested
Deletecan anyone upload boot.img because i need it porting kernel but accidentally i deleted it from its directory
ReplyDeleterestore if from recycle bin
Deletesorry i mean from the zipped directory and i have a poor connection so it will take about 3 hours to download full rom again :'(
Deletei currently do not have access to this ROM.
Deletewait till somebody else uploads it
ok thanks
Deletei've successfully ported this rom to my mt6572 device (G-Tide E77) and recovered from bugs using porting tutorial from miui rom.
ReplyDeletebut i've faced a little fc in contacts app sometimes and contacts information are hidden because my dpi is less than rom's dpi (i guess)
if anyone can help i will be thankful :)
replace dpi of ROM with your stock dpi in build.prop "ro.sf.lcd_density="
Deletehey AMIR MAHER, u really did port successfully.. how man ... wow.. u r good
DeleteHlo this download link is not supporting
ReplyDeleteit is working already tested, before the link use https
Deletehello bro, i've port the file to stock to port but after flash the phone i blocked on bootanimation screen forever, how to start system correctly? i've port the same file on the your description! please help me
ReplyDeleteSorry for my bad english
you need to port kernel
Deleteman... can u plzz help me... its not working on my mt6572 phone HUAWEI Y320 U10. even after porting the rom.. ... it just remain on the boot animation,...
ReplyDeleteyou must port kernel
Deletei did port it using a method that i found on Xda ... but no luck... any idea plzz help me.... its the best rom that i saw in this blogspot...
Delete=(
that's what happens when you don't follow the guide in the post itself and try to become oversmart and follow the guide somewhere else. No support will be provided to you hereafter
Deletebut man... i didnt saw that .... if i knew there was a post published... i wouldnt wast my time searching for a porting post... plzz help me friend... =(
Deletehaha, just kidding. The link for the guide is in the post itself in the "how to port"
Delete;) lol u mean ... using the android kitchen... well i tried using it ... but no chance... it remains on the bootanimation... i also saw that many mt6572 users are having this problem,,.. solution
ReplyDeletethe guide is working perfectly.
Deletebut i followed ur instruction step by step... but still no chance
ReplyDeleteretry, also make sure mount points are correct. Otherwise no other solution
Deletealso, there are multiple guides at Porting Guide section of this website. Try all of theme I suggest using the CM 12.1 porting guide mostly it's in this website. Try all the guides even though the post might say it's for specific chipsets or version
Deletemay be you are right... i didnt change anything in the mount points.... bcoz the installation went fine.... ]
ReplyDeleteman.... till now... even after following your port tutorial step by step or even mounting the points... nothing help... feeling duiscouraged... none of your explication worked for me... i also observed that many people are having the same problem in the lewa rom.... ( remains on the bootanimation screen )
ReplyDeletefollow all the guides that can be found at the Porting Guide section of this website, try the guides even if it says that it is only for a particular ROM. I suggest you try the guide for CM 12.1 porting
DeleteI have also a device called "LOGO MI",and no root program worked except "motochopper"..but still its 90%root,meaning i can't make system r/w by es file explorer/root explorer or even by app "mount system r/w"...so i can't even change build-prop(to enable3g which is disabled) & neither flashin Gapps from cwm automade(by mtkdroid)...
ReplyDeleteany solution?as i can't flash any other roms via custom cwm too as long as system is read-only(I have mount system and others in cwm recovery of course)
once you have CWM installed it doesn't matter if your device is rooted or not any ROM can be flashed
DeleteI thought the same too,after flashing with CWM for years but seems when System is mounted as read-only,nothing will be flashed..there is a check/verify and successful message(whithin seconds as if nothing is being done) but after resatrt,you willsee no gapps or new rom has been flashed as suspected(from instantly showing successful message before)
Deletei flash ROMs which do not have any root access at all, go to recovery and flash other ROMs successfully.
DeleteDo I need to replace the system, lib , etc folders?
ReplyDeleteguide is in the post read it
DeleteI port the kernel but id stuck on bootlogo of lewa
Deletedid you port kernel according to the guide
DeleteYes
Deletestrange, go to tutorials section of this site and follow the "Install real lollipop" guide
DeleteMaybe I need to copy the folders on stock ROMs? You think? Okay I'll find that
DeleteReal lollipop? My phone is mtk6572 and running 4.2
Deletejust follow the guide and use it to port this ROM
DeleteIts dormtk6589
DeleteWhat should i do if i don't find my stock boot.img, i think my phone doesn't have it?
ReplyDeleteDoes this rom have spanish language?
boot.img is the most important part of the android filesystem, you device will never boot without it
Deletehomekey button not working what should i do now?
