Step 1.- Unzip the port lollipop ROM and also stock ROM. Rename the lollipop ROM to port ROM
Step 2.- Delete this files or folders in port ROM and replace with your files from Stock ROM:
- system/etc/firmware
- system/lib/egl
- system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Step 3.- Open system/lib/hw folder in Stock Rom, then select & copy all files and paste to system/lib/hw folder in port ROM replacing files.
Note: if you porting a ROM from a different SOC, delete this files before in port rom: audio.primary.mt65xx.so, gralloc.mt65xx.so, hwcomposer.mt65xx.so, ligths.mt65xx.so, sensors.mt65xx.so
Step 4.- Open system/vendor in Stock ROM, copy folders and sub folders and paste to system/vendor in port ROM replacing files
Step 5.-.Rename the stock boot.img to stock boot.img and the port boot.img to port boot.img. Unpack theboot.imgs, compare the fstabs(ramdisk/fstab or fstab.mt65xx) and make changes in fstab from port boot.img(open it using notepad++). Use zImage from your stockboot.img and the ramdisk folder from port boot.img, recompile and replace in port rom folder.
Step 6.- Open the updater-script in META-INF from port rom, open it with Netepad++. Edit the format &mount points(compare with your updater-script from stock META-INF)
Example:
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7", "0", "/system");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p5", "0", "/data");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7", "/system");
Step 7.- Zip the port ROM and flash it in recovery mode and enjoy.
