Would this kernel source work?

Question

i have an Archos 50 Helium Plus phone, this phone uses a MT6735P MTK chipset, Archos didn't release the source code of the phone kernel, however, i found a Lenovo phone, the Lenovo Vibe C2, that uses the exact same MTK chipset MT6735P as my archos phone and the source of the kernel of this phone is publicly available containing the vendor and device trees and the kernel source

I wonder if using this source could work for my phone, since the two phones have the exact same hardware chipset

i'd like, with it to build TWRP recovery and Cyanogenmod for this phone

I'd recommend you to ask Archos directly for the source code for your phone model (https://www.archos.com/fr/support/support_tech/contact_support.html).

They have to give you the source code of their own version of Android according to GPL 2.0 (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html).
