Root ROM port

I was wondering if any opendevs would help me or want to port this or another Lollipop ROM to this device. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-aosp-unofficial-slimlp-alpha-0-9-t2977801 this is my original idea however I am wondering if anyone would be willing to port this or help me port one let me know

There's really no more devs actively working on this device. The only one I think still working on roms is meticulus. He's already released lollipop roms but your best bet would be to ask him.
 
I quite busy these days but I can answer questions...
Are you planning to "port" or build from source?
I always build from source, so I don't have a lot of experience porting but as far as I can tell, all you should have to do is replace the vendor blobs, modify the initramfs and the install script.
 
Like I said, I've never done a port but porting would probably be easier.
1. Porting does not require Linux
2. Porting does not require lots of HDD space.
3. Porting does not require lots of build tools.

Basically if you are "porting" your just swapping out the device specific files in the ROM.

I'm pretty sure how it goes:

1. Swap out vendor blobs: https://github.com/Meticulus/android_vendor_samsung_codinamtr
2. Modify the build.prop
3. Replace device specific files in the initramfs and replace kernel zImage
4. Modify the install script asserts

There may be more steps but those are the only ones I can think of right now...
 
Thanks I'll try porting first I feel this little phone has some potential still and I want to try a lollipop port so well see thanks meticulus
