Information on how to Port:

You'll need a device that same specification on your Phone so you can port it Easily.
[ I'm not saying that you can't Port any Custom Rom on your Device but this guide is for a Quick Guide of Porting Rom ]
You'll need a Common Sense.
MediaTek 6572 SPECIFICATION.

DISPLAY -  OR 480 x 854 pixels
CHIPSET   - MT6572
ROM - 4GB
GPU  - MALI 400

THESE ARE STEPS ON PORTING ROM. YOU HAVE TO FIND A PHONE THAT SAME SPEC ON YOUR PHONE.
THIS BASE ON MY EXPERIENCE.

REPLACE THESE FILES FROM YOUR "STOCK ROM" TO THE "ROM" YOU WANT TO "PORT" "INTO YOUR DEVICE"

"SOMETIMES IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU HAVE ONLY TO REPLACE IS "BOOT.IMG" AND "VOLD.FSTAB"- VOLD.FSTAB.FAT.NAND - VOLD.FSTAB.NAND" THESE FILES CAN BE FOUND INSIDE OF "ETC"
- AND REPLACE THIS "VOLD" INSIDE OF "BIN" FOLDER.
- AND THE "FIRMWARE" FOLDER ON "ETC" FOLDER 'AGAIN'

PREPARING INSTALLATION TO EXTRACT FILES ON SYSTEM OF YOUR PHONE. MAKING A FLASHABLE ZIP.

- DELETE "META INF" TO THE ROM YOU WANT TO PORT. USE MY "META INF" ABOVE.
- PACK YOUR ROM'S IN A ZIP.
- NOW FLASH IT ON YOUR PHONE.

FOR FIXING PROBLEM'S AND BUGS.
ALSO IF YOUR PORTED ROM DOESN'T BOOT UP OR IF YOUR DEVICE GOT BOOTLOOP.
