    Making the patch


    1. Download this file https://mega.nz/#!kQtl0a5Q!oM9t0bxy...
    2. Replace its contents with that from your stock Nougat ROM.You have a
    patch!

    Patching the system


    1. Download and install Ubuntu.
    2. Clone SuperR’s kitchen (use Google)
    3. Open SuperR’s Kitchen
    4. Select option 1 and give it a name e.g stock
    5. Copy your stock boot.img and ystem.img (or Stock ROM’s zip file it’s not
    SP Flashable)
    6. Paste in the folder according to SuperR’s Kitchen
    7. Press option 4 in SuperR’s kitchen
    8. After extraction, choose option 8 (ROM tools).
    9. Press 7 on the next screen.
    10. Choose Build ZIP.
    11. For Permissions mode, choose “set_metadata”
    12. For mount points, choose “From boot/recovery”.You’ll get a ROM_NAME.zip
    in the superr_ROM_NAME folder.
    13. Repeat the process for port ROM
    14. Go back to Windows (if you like)
    15. Extract both stock and port
    16. Copy the files in the patch that you made earlier
    17. Paste them in Port ROM and replace the existing ones
    18. Edit build.prop and change these values according to stock build.prop:
    ro.product.board, ro.mediatek.platform, ro.sf.lcd_density, ro.hw_rotation
    System should be patched now

    Making the updater-script


    1. Download this file https://mega.nz/#!EdtHyRxa!3GwOQTwQ..
    2. Extract it and copy su.d folder to port’s System folder.
    3. Open your port rom’s META-INF folder and open its updater script.
    4. Copy everything from the line: #SYM to the last line of “set_metadata”
    5. Open the updater script from the extracted TEMP-METAINF folder
    6. Delete everything starting from line: #SYM to the last line of
    “set_metadata”
    7. Paste the lines you copied from port’s updater-script on step 4 of this
    part.
    8. From TEMP-METAINF updater-script, delete the lines from “ui_print("BEGIN
    UPATING 9. FIRMWARE");” to the end.
    9. Save the updater-script.
    10. Delete the META-INF folder from port ROM.
    11. Copy paste that of TEMP-METAINF to port ROM

    Patching the boot.img


    USE STOCK BOOT.IMG DIRECTLY (JUMP TO FINISHING UP PART).
    But if that fails, you will need to patch the boot.img

    1. Unpack port and stock boot files with Carliv Image Kitchen
    2. Copy these files from port boot: default.prop, init.environ.rc
    3. Paste them in stock ramdisk and replace
    4. Open init.rc with Notepad++ in stock ramdisk and find this line:
    setprop selinux.reload_policy 1
    Replace its value from 1 to 0
    5. Open boot.img-cmdline of your stock extracted boot and add this to it:
    androidboot.selinux=permissive buildvariant=userdebug
    It will look something like:
    bootopt=64S3,32N2,64N2 androidboot.selinux=permissive buildvariant=userdebug
    6. If port boot has proprietary files like init.flyme.rc, ini.miui.rc,
    init.sony-xxxx.rc, you must copy them to stock ramdisk and find the init file
    in which they should be imported by referring to port’s ramdisk. These are
    usually init.rc and init.mt67xx.rc
    7. Pack the stock boot and copy it back to your port rom.

    Finishing up
    Select META-INF, system and boot.img from your port ROM
    Zip them
    Boot to TWRP and test.
    Troubleshooting and bugs fix
    1. If you follow everything correctly above, your ROM should boot.
    2. You’ll ultimately need to add stock extra files (from bin, etc, lib, lib64
    and the same files from vendor folder) to port ROM using Root Explorer (from
    speedsoftware) for example. You you can do it with your computer and make
    another flashable zip. You need that to get Camera and other features
    working.
    3. For fingerprint, read this http://www.nontastik.com/nougat-fin...
    4. If you have Wifi & BT switch issue, you've to patch port's boot instead of
    using/patching stock boot. Go here https://www.facebook.com/notes/mtk-... and
    read
    "Method 3: Patch the port boot.img" part.
