OK, THAT is interesting.
It will probably require quite a bit of effort to properly integrate it into an AOSP-derivative tree such as Omni's so that it can coexist with all of our other devices in a single tree and be maintainable long-term.
As a bit of history - a rather nice OEM gave some of us a complete drop of their entire MTK tree that they used for a particular device.
The tree had numerous issues:
1) Serious licensing conflict problems with some of the files in the tree
2) The tree itself was designed to only build within an ancient version of Ubuntu - something like 10.04 LTS for a device released in 2014??? - Getting it to work with any recent build host was a massive headache/nightmare
3) A number of components were closed-source - not even the OEM had source
3b) Quite a few of these closed-source components would function fairly well when used with the same Android version they were designed for, but were designed in such a way that they failed quite badly when used with any other Android version. IIRC, we had 4.2 or 4.3 sources, xplodwild was able to get the device sort-of running with 4.3, and 4.4 was a complete and total failure that he gave up on
I'll try to take a look at that source drop in the next week or two.
I know this thread is somewhat old now and I am unsure if you are still involved with Omni or not.
It seems no Android OS's officially supports Mediatek devices.
I realise that sources were a real issue way back when but there is now plenty of Mediatek source leaked or official and I am talking about Full source not just Kernel Source.
OrangePi released Full Android 6.0 and Android 8.1 for their 4G-IOT board which is has a MT6737 CPU.
Given this full source can Omni add or assist officially with development of devices that use CPU's supported by that Source Code MT6737, MT6755, MT6750, MT6763 etc etc.
I mostly use Sony Devices so have access to fully working Kernel Sources for all their MediaTek devices.
Some big advances have been made on the Sony XA (MT6755) and the Sony L1 (MT6737) but we are struggling to get them across the finishing line.

Any help, ideas, support or any official Omni Dev's willing to help?
Pretty sure we could fund a dev device if anyone is will to take on the challenge.
