anyone knows some guide for porting rom on mt6752? unfortunately I only worked on mt6582 but it is not the same thing. as regards the cam our OmniVision is used for the front cam in many devices, someone wants to help in porting?

you can try this.

use emax 5.0 LP beta ROM and replace boot.img with the boot.img from MSTAR S700 ROM (it's on needrom). Also replace the original recovery.img with twrp-recovery 2.8.7 for lollipop. Flash this with SP Flash Tool. After that replace the modem file with the one from KitKat via TWRP file manager and root the phone with SuperSU.

MSTAR S700 has different kernel drivers and camera, so it would be useless. I tried to use our lollipop kernel with bootimg of MSTAR but will not start, also need to bring the cam libraries, not just the kernel

MSTAR has different kernel and camera driver, so it would be useless. In addition it must also bring all the cam libraries, not only the kernel.

It is a pity that the device is not perfect balance with firmware from lenovo k3 note already has an official 6.0

UMI has officially confirmed it will not update the device

There's no chance to get a lollipop officially but that seems to be possible to get a marshmallow upgrade later. Now UMI is focusing on the release of Touch.
