Porting Method MTK - Part One

by jonacxDGreat

1. Normal Porting - AOSP, Stock Based, Customed/Modded Stock, Customed/Modded AOSP

2. Cyanogenmod 12 - 5.0.2

3. Cyanogenmod 12.1 - 5.1.1

4. MIUI 7 - KK

5. Crossporting MT6582 - MT6592 (vice-versa) AOSP, Stock Based, AOSP, Stock Based, Customed/Modded Stock, Customed/Modded AOSP

Normal Porting - MT6582/MT6592

Stock - Port

system/bin

                file: pq, vold, sdcard (optional)

system/etc:

                file: apns-conf.xml, custom.conf (port file - edit lines)

                folder: bluetooth, firmware, wifi, mddb (optional)

system/lib:

                file: libcamalgo.so, libcamdrv.so, libcameracustom.so, libdpframework.so,

                                  libEGL.so, libMali.so, libsensorservice.so, libsync.so, libvcodecdrv.so

                                  (note: all libaudio files only for fixing audio)

                folder: egl (libEGL_mali.so, libGLES_android.so)

                                                hw (copy all file from stock to port - replace existing)

                                                modules (copy all file from stock to port - replace existing)

system/vendor:

                replace from stock to port - replace existing and leave not on stock

system/xbin:

                file: libmnlp_mt6592, mnld, (and other rooting files needed)

               

               

Cyanogenmod 12

Copy stock to port (boot.img)

stock/zImage and stock/ramdisk/ueventd.rc

system/etc:

                folder: firmware (modem_1_wg_n.img or whole firmware folder)

system/lib:

                file: libMali.so,libaudio.primary.default.so,libcamdrv.so,libcamalgo.so,libcameracustom.so

                folder: hw (gralloc.default.so, gralloc.mt6592.so, hwcomposer.mt6592.so)

Cyanogenmod 12.1

Copy stock to port (boot.img)

stock/zImage and stock/ramdisk/ueventd.rc

system/bin: (boot_logo_updater, ipod, logwrapper, netd)

system/etc:

                folder: firmware (modem_1_wg_n.img or whole firmware folder)

                hostapd folder, permissions (android.hardware.camera.xml, android.hardware.microphone.xml)

system/lib:

                hw folder: camera.default.so

                file: libfeatureio.so, libfeatureio.so, libimageio_plat_drv.so, libipod.so, libMali.so, libshowlogo.so

For emulated storage fix

Edit: init.mt65xx.rc
Replace:

on init
    export LD_PRELOAD /system/lib/libxlog.so

    export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/emulated/legacy
    export SECONDARY_STORAGE /storage/sdcard1

    mkdir /mnt/shell 0700 shell shell
    chmod 0750 /mnt/shell
    chown shell sdcard_r /mnt/shell
    mkdir /mnt/shell/emulated 0700 shell shell
    mkdir /mnt/shell/emulated/0 0700 shell shell
    mkdir /storage/emulated 0555 root root

    mkdir /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 0700 media_rw media_rw
    mkdir /storage/sdcard1 0700 root root

    export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/emulated/legacy
    export SECONDARY_STORAGE /storage/sdcard1
    export EMULATED_STORAGE_SOURCE /mnt/shell/emulated
    export EMULATED_STORAGE_TARGET /storage/emulated

With this:

on init
    export LD_PRELOAD /system/lib/libxlog.so
    export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/sdcard0
    export SECONDARY_STORAGE /storage/sdcard1

on init
    mkdir /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 0700 media_rw media_rw
    mkdir /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 0700 media_rw media_rw
    mkdir /storage/sdcard0 0700 root root
    mkdir /storage/sdcard1 0700 root root

    export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/sdcard1

    # Support legacy paths
    symlink /storage/sdcard0 /sdcard
    symlink /storage/sdcard0 /mnt/sdcard
symlink /storage/sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard2


    # USB OTG
    mkdir /storage/usbotg 0700 root root
    mkdir /mnt/media_rw/usbotg 0700 media_rw media_rw

And Edit: Framework-res.apk (storagelist.xml)

From this:

    <storage android:storageDescription="@string/storage_internal" android:primary="true" android:emulated="true" android:mtpReserve="400" />
    <storage android:mountPoint="/storage/sdcard1" android:storageDescription="@string/storage_sd_card" android:removable="true" />
    <storage android:mountPoint="/storage/usbotg" android:storageDescription="@string/storage_usb" android:removable="true" />

To this:

    <storage android:storageDescription="@string/storage_internal" android:primary="false" android:removable="false" android:allowMassStorage="true" />
    <storage android:mountPoint="/storage/sdcard1" android:storageDescription="@string/storage_sd_card" android:primary="false" android:removable="true" />
    <storage android:mountPoint="/storage/usbotg" android:storageDescription="@string/storage_usb" android:removable="true" />
</StorageList>

Porting MIUI 7

System Files (Patch Files)

system/bin (mtkbt, vold, sdcard(optional))

system/etc

                folder: firmware and mddb

system/lib

                folder: hw

                files:

                                libcameracustom.so

                                libcameraservice.so

                                libMali.so

                                libshowlogo.so

                                libaudio*.so (optional if bug on sound)

system/vendor: copy whole folder to port, replace if existing

system/xbin: libmnlp_mt6592, mnld

Boot.img porting

-copy stock kernel to port boot.img

-compare and edit port init.rc w/ stock init.rc

-copy sepolicy and ueventd.rc from stock to port

Crossporting MT6582 - MT6592 (vice-versa)

stock to port rom

boot.img:

copy ramdisk/init.rc and init.environ.rc bootclash lines from stock to port

system/bin

                copy all file and replace existing

system/etc

                delete bluetooth and mddb folder from port

                copy bluetooth and mddb folder from stock to port

                copy firmware folder from stock to port - replace existing files

                copy permissions folder (platform.xml, handheld_core_hardware.xml) optional/bug fix

                edit port custom.conf

system/lib

                must delete files from stock before copy paste to port

                libandroid.so,libandroid_runtime.so,libandroid_servers.so

                libandroidfw.so,libjavacore.so,libjavacrypto.so

                libwebrtc_audio_preprocessing.so,libwebviewchromium.so,libwebviewchromium_plat_support.so

                *now copy whole lib folder to port libfolder and replace existing file consider hw/modules

system/vendor

                copy stock vendor to port - replace existing

system/xbin

                delete libmnlp_mt6582 from port

                copy libmnlp_mt6592, mnld from stock to port

               

build.prop:

replace all mt6582 lines to mt6592 vice-versa

replace lines if xport mt6582 - mt6592
