[Custom ROM] MT6572 Android v : 4.2.2 Kernel v : 3.4.5
(16-05-2021, 12:00 AM)jijay Hi there, I have bought 13 smartphones to use an application which requires minimum android 5.1
these are the specs of the smartphones that I got now
Hardware : MT6572
Model : Forward_Run (dual sim)
Build number : Forward_Run
Build date UTC : 20140604-081323
Android v : 4.2.2
Baseband v: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V1.P22, 2014/04/20 22:39
Kernel v : 3.4.5 (android@android-7) (gcc version 4.6.x-google 20120106 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Wed Jun 4 16:11:02 CST 2014

I have spent at least over 30 hours in different days through google and youtube. All I understood that probably I need to port a rom. And to do this the ported rom has to have the same cpu + kernel.
Thanks to one video of this forum I have been able to backup the entire stock rom of the device, I became mad. But only the video of hovatek helped me.
Now I am trying to install a custom recovery...I already posted into two topics. One for custom recovery, second for unlocking the bootloader (which probably I don't need). Cause as I understood through sp tools-fastboot I will be able to flash a custom rom.

this is the only custom rom that I found that might be ok if I port it. The rom is based on android 5.1 for the device wiko iggy, which is exactly a dual sim like mine with mt6572 and kernel 3.4.5
Can you tell me if my theory regarding this rom is ok?
Last question, can I upgrade the kernel from 3.4.5 to 3.4.67? Cause I find out so many custom roms based on android 5.1 and above for mt6572 but kernel 3.4.67
