Now I will described you about ROM porting
method for MTK phone (same SoC )
See details below :-
You need to have custom recovery for flash your new
created rom.
Note
:- Stock Rom is :- Current Rom of your handset.
(Flashable zip)
Port Rom is :- Which Rom you want to port.
(Flashable Zip)
Stock Rom & Port Rom need to be same version of
android. That means if your "Port Rom" is JB Rom,
You need to choice JB Rom as Stock.
1) First you choice a flashable zip rom for port
which is same processor as your stock rom.
2) Extract your Stock rom in a folder & rename the
folder to "Stock rom"
3) Extract your Port rom in a folder & rename the
folder to "Port Rom"
4) Now open the "Port Rom" folder & "Stock Rom"
folder side by side.
5) Now copy & replace "boot.img" from "Stock Rom/"
to "Port Rom/" folder.
6) Go to "system/etc/firmware/" folder & copy &
replace all file from Stock Rom to Port Rom.
7) Now go to "system/lib/module" folder & copy &
replace all file from Stock Rom to Port Rom.
8.) Now go to "system/usr/keylayout" folder & copy
& replace all files from Stock Rom to Port Rom.
9) Copy & replace "META-INF" folder from "Stock
Rom/" to "Port Rom/" folder. (Optional)
10) Now create zip of "Port Rom" folder, flash it via
CWM.
If your new ported rom not booted or stuck in boot
animation, Try again with replace "system/vendor"
folder from "Stock Rom" to "Port Rom".
That's it
--------: Tips for patch:--------
.
Copy "Stock Rom" to "Port Rom" (if not worked)
:-
\system\etc\firmware\modem.img - SIM1/ 2 not
working
\system\lib\module\mtk_stp_wmt - Wi-Fi/
Bluetooth can't switch on
\system\usr\keylayout\Generic.kl - Home key
doesn't work
For CAMERA - "can't connect to Camera or force
closed":-
Just copy below listed file from "Stock ROM" to "Port
ROM" :-

I've searched around on few forums but I've never seen any bug like this. There where brightness and auto brightness fixes but they don't work since this is different from those kind of bugs.
