Dual booting seems like a lot of work...:O
As long as I have backup from my own phone, scatter file, nvram backup and everything and restoring from SP flash tool, is it still possible to hardbrick the phone so I can't get it to work again at all?
When trying new roms, if I do it in SP flash tool and uncheck preloader, it's pretty safe, or?
This is the "bad" thing with Android, you have the option to test so much so I can't just let the phone be, I just HAVE to try everything... haha

AFAIK that is generally safe but my knowledge there is too limited to say for sure. That's why I recommended the dual boot, because it's more or less impossible to brick.
True lol, but I'm definitely glad to have the options...if only Mediatek would open up more though *sigh*

Will try to make my own Custom rom and maybe try to port LeWa OS or something, just to learn more

Have to try to learn something
I just remembered that I changed my Internal memory to 10GB instead of 1GB (changed EBR1 and EBR2) so my phone can't be the version on
[Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register] either since that only had 8GB ROM and wouldn't be able to add that big intermal memory then..

True, that's good that you are.
The video actually shows it being a 16gb(12gb left in Antutu).

The video shows that, but the link to the store in the video say 1GB RAM 8 GB ROM.
I did a lot of reading yesterday about porting and some guides say it's easy and other that it's impossible, so I will just have to try today

Yeah I noticed that...what does antutu say on your phone?
Porting does vary in difficulty. If you have two phones with the same hardware it's pretty easy but when the hardware changes is when it gets difficult. Doing optimizations, transferring drives, etc.

lol, so none of the aforementioned combos, you got 2gb of RAM....huh....if it was 8gb ROM you would have way less storage available than that. Unless they didn't partition it right? Strange.
