Added on Mar 31, 2013 - Patching MT6628 ROM to work on MT6620 & vice-versa[/u][/color]
Thanks to kumar abhishek for letting me know that it is possible to patch MT6628 to MT6620, i found out Star N9770 which is from the same company as my Star N9776, some Chinese manage to patch it, everything works & this info found out by s_bd on china-iphone so i use that as base to find out which file is the culprit... :cowboy:

Below is what i found out, need only these few files (patch from stock to ported ROM) & everything works...

This is of course minimum patching because its from the same manufacturer...

FMradio
system/etc/firmware/mt6620_patch_e3_hdr.bin
system/etc/firmware/mt6620_patch_e6_hdr.bin-> If yours is MT6628, you'll need to patch all mt6628_fm_*_*.bin too
system/etc/firmware/WMT.CFG-> This is the antenna cfg, without this, FMradio cannot receive clearly

system/lib/modules/mtk_fm_drv.ko
system/lib/libfmcust.so

Wi-Fi & BT
system/lib/modules/mtk_stp_wmt.ko
system/lib/modules/mtk_wmt_wifi.ko -> After patching, both works & can be individually switch on/ off

system/lib/libbluetooth_mtk.so
system/lib/libbluetoothem_mtk.so -> MTK Engineering will show MT6628 if not patch...

system/etc/firmware -> if yours is MT6628, you'll need to patch all WIFI_RAM_CODE_* too

GPS
system/xbin/libmnlp -> This culprit file is the GPS. Took me the longest time to find out
Found out recent for porting Lenovo s890 (MT6628 to my MT6620), some apps at system/vendor/operator/ is blocking GPS so just delete all apps & use MTK Engineering mode to confirmed it... :fingers-crossed:

build.prop
fmradio.driver.chip=1 -> if yours is MT6628 then change it to 3
mediatek.wlan.chip=MT6620 -> if yours is MT6628 then change last digit to 8
mediatek.wlan.module.postfix=_mt6620 -> if yours is MT6628 then change last digit to 8

updater-script
symlink("wlan_mt6620.ko", "/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko"); -> if yours is MT6628 then change last digit to 8

Happy Porting...

If your Lewa cam is not working in spite of all the known patching methods then refer to here... :cool:

system/lib/libcamalgo.so
system/lib/libcameracustom.so
system/lib/libmhaldrv.so

Since many are interested in porting LeWa, attach is my simple program that does everything automatically for you...

However, on the 2nd part, you'll have to identify what is not working & patch it yourself... :cowboy:

Happy Porting LeWa ROM...
-------------------------------
Hmm, it seems many are having trouble with this LeWa Porting tool...

Upon checking Master Shifu Michfood's Russian thread, found out that the below must be met or this tool will fail to operate...

Requirement on your MTK devices -> Root access to ADB
The default.prop at boot.img should be as below...
ro.secure=[COLOR="Blue"][B]0[/B][/COLOR]
ro.debuggable=[COLOR="blue"][B]1[/B][/COLOR]
persist.service.adb.enable=[COLOR="blue"][B]1[/B][/COLOR]
Use Master Shifu's Repack Utils, make the changes, re-download boot.img via SPFT then only use this tool again... :cowboy:

This tool operates with your device fully booted up, not at CWM or fastboot...

Extract this tool to your Desktop otherwise disable UAC if you use this program at other folder or it will not work properly...

Just found out that Russian Master Shifu back37 has shared his brand new ROM porting tool here...

With this tool, ROM porting on MTK devices is a breeze but as i always says always make a backup copy first via CWM/ TWRP before starting always or you might end up here... :cool:

This is another great app by Russian Master Shifu Michfood for modding apps, framework, deodex; great for ROM Cooker AKA the MTK Android Kitchen...

You can even use its Wireless ADB app to avoid constant USB charging that might spoil your battery in the long run... [URL=""][/URL]

Master Shifu told me its hard for him to maintain several threads so you gotta ask all your questions there... :cowboy:

To change the language to English refer to below...
[hide][/hide]
v2.3 is a Donationware now, if you wanna try out then download this full older version here... :cowboy: if you find it useful then upgrade to V.2.3 & support Master Shifu Michfood work...
