Android 7 Porting Attempt. I almost got it, but I need some advices!

2019-10-14 21:45:53

I' m working to port Android 7 to this Android 4.2.2 tridimensional smartphone (quite old, but still fantastic). After many Roms that refused to install, I finally got a Rom that can install, and that almost booted (damned bootloop!). Maybe someone that has experience can quickly spot my error

This is the phone I'm working on:

Brand : EStar

Model: Takee1

CPU: Mediatek mt6592

Stock Rom: Android 4.2.2 Jellybean

Specs: here


Base Rom used:

A Custom Rom, Android 4.4 Kitkat + 3.4.67 Kernel

(Download here )


Port Rom used:

Android 7.1.2 Rom with 3.4.67 Kernel. (ViperOS )

(Download here)


Porting Guide used:

Nougat Porting Guide For MTK 6592 KK Kernel 3.4.67

+ mount points adjustments made by me


Check My Ported Rom:

If you have experience with Android portings you can help me, giving a look to the Rom here.

(Dont't install it if you're not a developer otherwise you'll only get an unfinished Rom.


Updater-Binary file of my ported rom 

Initially the bootloop was caused by some stupid syntax errors in the updater-binary. Then I fixed it.

Read it on Pastebin


Other Infos...

To install the Rom is required to unmount the cache from TWRP (I don't know why but it's not a problem) 

I got a bootloop and the bootscreen is distorted (maybe it's the classic horizontal-vertical problems of custom roms, we can quickly solve it after the first effective boot) 

Please help me bring Android 7 and ViperOS to this device! :)

Many people keep requesting it to me
