don't waste your time with ports, you can't fix things without the source and it usually wont even boot

learn to build open source instead!

I just got into ROM building, and I successfully built my own KitKat ROM from source. But I don't know what to do after that. I flashed the ROM on my phone and as expected The camera, Bluetooth, and Headphones. What I don't know is how to fix that. Do I edit the device tree or do I edit the packaged ROM itself? I tried googling but I couldn't find anything. If there is a link that tells me where to go that would be great. If someone tells me where to go that would also be great.

Thanks,

Usually requires knowledge of what to edit and where. Usually it can be either device tree or source or both. It's actually hard to fix issues like camera, personally never done it myself. The audio issues are probably just caused by the overlay in the device folder. For bluetooth try to reference HTC Incredible S we use the exact same BT chip.

Building roms from source is actually much easier with new mainstream phones, usually has no hardware issues at all because they are supported. Its these old phones that are more complex.
