This file may help you fix "Could not detect SD card" bug.

WARNING: You need to add a code which can create /nvcfg in /init.mt6797.rc

For fingerprint sensor and screen rotation, you may add some vendor blobs such as lib_fpc_tac_shared.so (/system/lib)(/system/lib64). Then you need to add some codes in /init.project.rc .

Here are some files unpacked from MediaTek AOSP Android 6.0 (MRA58K).

WARNING: DO NOT directly copy /init.project.rc, otherwise GSM baseband and CDMA baseband will not be loaded such as in this picture.

This device (nikel) has two basebands rather than a baseband. It means that you need to add some settings which is about CDMA baseband.

This screenshot comes from MediaTek AOSP Android 6.0 (MRA58K).

can we port rom from custom rom vernee apollo lite which have helio x20 processor too?

Yes, we can. But be careful especially kernel version. If you port a wrong kernel, this device will bootloop (Logo (about 1s)>reboot>Logo (about 1s)>reboot>...).

Kernel version (nikel): 3.18.22+
Kernel version (Vernee Apollo Lite): 3.18.22/3.18.35/3.18.9x ...

hey, do you mind clarifying what 'codes' to add to /init.project.rc? Also, I can't figure out how to unpack the files from the .img you attached. Thanks :)

ImageFactory can unpack boot.img
Thanks for the help so far! I got the libs from ranstar74's build and moved them to /system/lib and /system/lib64, but it seems that /init.project.rc does not exist after install.. I tried creating it with the codes that you showed and I tried putting those codes in init.rc and the fingerprint sensor still doesn't work. There is meta_init.project.rc, but it seems to be different, would that work?

You'll never get scanner working on 7.0+ because theres no sources of fingerprint hal,you can get it work only in 6.0 based roms.Same for camera btw...

    FIX: Fix OMX problems (Lineage OS 14.1 ONLY)
    Please replace "/system/etc/media_codecs.xml" with this one (in appendices), and then, reboot device and enjoy.
    Before (Screenshot_20180731-193049.png):
    OMX (MediaTek) is not working (Could not play FLAC audios).
    After (Screenshot_20180801-161529.png):
    OMX (FFmpeg) is working.

    That's all. Thank you.
