hmm you all are probably gonna laugh for my question but im interested soo here it goes...can i put hd2 wp7 rom or some other on my i9001? is that possible, just explain it to me XD thanks...
short version:
no you cant
it would brick your device
no.
but you can look over in the 9001 dev sections for other beatiful roms and good tutorials.
since yesterday, there is even ICS porting going on.
sedpod all
No you can't even when the phones are similar. Even when you'll try use rom for i9000 you probably brick your phone.

Hi, I have a Galaxy Y Duos S6102. I have a bit of idea bout the ROM, Recovery, Kernel and Firmware so I have a few questions related to my phone which I wanna customize as much as I can.
I have been searching around and I wanna know, can we install the same ROM's/Kernels/Firmwares for both the devices? Namely Galaxy Y Duos S6102 & Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360??For eg, Hyperion+CWM/Twrp and so on...
Since we know bout the developing and ongoing stages/phases of development of different products and (Unfortunately but true, and no offense, please!) how they claim it to be stable but usually or sometimes aren't, I would be really glad to have some guidance as in what ROM/kernel/Firmware/Recovery I should be aware of and all that. I have searched all, but I am just not able to decide which ones are good, for example Hyperion seems awesome but I am not sure if it is stable or not. Also, sometimes there are combinations such as firmware+rom, and so on... i wanna know which ones has these combos and can we add in customized if we wish? For eg if the rom comes along a firmware, can we flash our own firmware as per choice? What bout stability?
At the end, I will have my pre-requisites written down here:
1. Listen to a lot of music and sometimes YouTube. Sometimes a few games, fb and such.
2. Wanna use some cool apps that requires root.
3. Need battery, a bit of performance increase too if that's ok but battery defo.
4. Customization in looks, like in AOSP and so on, not necessarily AOSP lock screen but custom looks in general(like in ViperOne, not that I wanna/intend to compare)
According to these, can I please have someone suggest me individual working combinations of ROM/Kernel/Firmware and Recovery? I know this is not ethical to ask such questions(comparison related or "What's best", respects to all developers) but I am just trying to see compatibility not asking which ones are the best. I will be greatly obliged to anyone who helps, I would much appreciate if someone who owns a similar phone and has the same mods on it will suggest so I can take some reviews bout their experience too.
best rom/kernal threads are not allowed on xda
if you want to try the roms feel free but if this turns into a I reccommend xyz rom or what roms have less bugs I shall report it for closure
for your other question
yes you can install 5360 roms on duos however they will not fully work
for example you wont get dual sim support and the usb smali in the status bar is different so it wont connect to pc
you would need to correctly port them and mod some files
all roms features and bugs are on the op of each thread
stock based roms are "stable" as you put it
cm based roms will have bugs due to lack of drivers - all will be explained on the base rom used thread

read what I said carefully - you have to correctly port it to get all functions working correctly
this is for stock based roms only

use the updater script and binary from a custom stock rom for your device - normally works - you can edit the text if required
Weird, my intent was not to compare roms or anything but just to make sure the roms are "compatible" with my duos n wont strip down functionality(like dual sim, both sim r being used). I find this strange that u find it ok for everyone to try multiple combinations as u would, ignoring the fact that some people might have different priorties n maybe dont wanna play around like that. I am not asking whats best, i am askin whats not best for my phone. Can u comprehend? secondly i do understand the stock versions r more stable thats why my question remains... Being which ones r "compatibly" close-to-stock with my phone. I dont wanna brick my phone or strip down functionality, my device is different n obviously there r some things which wont b compatible for my device.. i just need a good combination of rom recovery kernel n firmware possibilites or options i can choose from with the above pre requisites. I dont see no comparision. Its like a person is simply asking what shoes will fit him the best if he has a particular size of feet. Lol

please read the rules of xda before posting
best rom threads are not allowed
this includes asking for whats the best rom to do xyz
it also includes the oposide of above ie what rom cannot do this or not best for this
all the roms features are on the op
if its a duos rom it will support dual sim unless otherwise stated in the bugs list
I shall now report this thread for closing as it seems you are trying to get which rom is best for your needs
To answer your question about shoes
well obviously if he is size 10 he will require size 10 shoes - what size 10 shoe he chooses is down to personal preference which is why what is best for him is not best for someone else who is also a size 10 - get it? thats why best threads are not allowed
Mod Edit
"Best" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.

Hey guys
I'm currently working on my first custom ROM mainly because there are currently no ROM for the dreaded G900H (aka Exynos) version. For this, I already downloaded a stock ROM and created my environment using Android Kitchen. So here are my questions:
1. I was able to follow and execute all the instructions to extract the custom ROM, install root and busybox. But first... is Android Kitchen even compatible with Galaxy S5?
2. Is it important to keep the CSC info on the new ROM? How can I backup current CSC info from my stock (carrier provided) S5?
3. How probable is to brick the phone if I flash a very alpha ROM as the one I'm supposedly cooking? I already have a nandroid and EFS backup
Thanks in advance for your answer and patience.

i need custom rom too for my sm-g900h
could anyone post full guide and video showing us how make our custom rom?
really appreciate
+1
Me too, I am on the same wait. Please and thanks. :good:
answers any one?
Sent from my SM-G900H using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
at least someone give us full guide of building/modifying our stock rom to custom rom
Is there still no hope for the s900H ((((
any rom?
I cant believe no custom rom for my s900h phone. Million of users all over the world, including latin america, asia. If Iknew how to built one I would, but I have no Idea. Developers where are you?

Funny, implying that this is an statistics game. It is not and it's ridiculous to blame developers for the lack of support.
Pretty much everyone that actually develops got the Snapdragon variant, if I had a choice I'd gotten that just by the amount of code and AOSP possibility.
Exynos was only supported by a couple of devs, it's all Samsung's fault - not devs. None of them currently has an S5.
Use xposed, greenify, titanium backup and there are few reasons you'll need a custom rom.
Xposed opened a new world of possibilities to modding.
Edit: Exactly that demanding attitude is what puts devs off. Other regions are usually more polite and grateful and that's something devs have noted in the past....

Sorry if I didnt make myself clear. English is not my first language. When I mentioned the millions of user was only to imply that more users, the more chance to have a genius among them. I didnt mean to have a demanding attitude. I was trying to say "Iknow you are out there, I know you are developing something for all of us. We are here waiting for your effort.
@CiDev:
You want to share your ROM for "H" here?
i dont think that will we have any custom rom for our model
but according with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52168627&postcount=168 @Shohat told me that he will release custom rom until end of may,,but nothing..
maybe he is busy

I wouldn't bet *anything* on it being released, it looks to me like an abandoned project...
The whole 'I can't work on this because I don't have money' turned me off instantly from that ROM.
On topic: I have been working on a custom kernel for our device, mainly trying to improve battery life. I'm still testing, if it's worth it, I can release it.
It's based on the contributions of others, so it wouldn't be fair for me to keep it private, I just don't want to release something that will break stuff.

1 - yes.
2 - make an nandroid before
3 - if you have a brick, restore from your nandroid and ready again
Hi All,
I'm Jack Droid and I'm a new member.
I have a Samsung Smartphone model S7390.
Surfing into the internet, I understood that there is not much development for this device...
Maybe because that device is not so appreciated but anyway, I have this model!
Moreover, I did the root and I found an CWM recovery that it's ok for it but what I have never found, is a custom rom.
My question is : do you know if exist a device that could be quite similar to Trend Lite S7390 so that I can use a rom for that and try to flash into my device ?
Many thanks for your attention and waiting for your kind reply.
All the best
Max

you dont want to try a rom just because it is made for a "similar" phone. it is very likely to brick your phone.
the rom must say it is compatible or made for your phone, or you cant use it.
unfortunately, i can find no roms for your phone, as you already found out.

Hi bweN diorD,
thanks for your reply.
I suspected that was not possible to flash a rom for another device into mine but considering that development for my phone is not so much acitve, I was thinking that could be a solution but it seems that it's not a good idea!
I was thinking to S5280 but it has a dual core cpu if I remember well...
Anyway, I have to leave my phone just with CF root and CWM recovery and considering the actual situation, I'm happy in that way !
I will continue my hacking experience with my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition that has much more development.
I also have seen in this very good forum that a member is development a CyanogenMod for that tablet so thjat I'm following the evolution and when the rom will be rock stable, I will proceed to flash it.
I thank you again for your support and I wish you a very good evening!
See you into the forum and all the best!
EDIT
I'm following the development on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52978200
S7392 is the same phone of S7390, only S7392 has two slim but electronical components are the same.
Maybe this could be a good solution!
Well you can try fancylite rom
Hi ,
Sorry if this is wrongly posted.
I'm New to building a rom and i've read up on multiple threads on how to port/build etc,
but i'm confused with one thing, its said that the base rom should be the one that is able to run on the specific device.
I'm using the Pantech Vega Iron 2 IM-A910K , there are only 1 vietnamese rom , a Chinese rom which are both translated versions of the original korean rom with basic editing of the SMS limit and such, I was using The PAC man rom on both Sony Xperia Z1 and Z ultra before and i loved the functions it has, i wish to port this over to this device too but seems unsuccessful.
Is anyone able to tell me if i am able to build a rom for this device with the above mentioned avail stock modified roms as base or i have to fully complile a new one?
This Phone has great specs but Its just strange that few devs work in it, even the old Vega Iron A870 only had a multitude of roms including CM after about half a year later or so, as i just got this phone i dun really wanna leave it there unused till then hence i wanna attempt to build the rom myself.
any response is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Guys i am serious in this Section of development .
I am trying to make more up to date android roms for explay fresh and for the clones but, my guides giving me lots of bugs which i dont like and i am unable to fix them.
Whenever i am trying to contract the devs of a120/wr/ef then either they reply without main question's answer or they just ignoring completely .
Why ??????
Its a development group so u should share/help others to make their project successfull but its actually going fully selfish mind here
If you help then i am also going to add credits of you guys but u guys not even respond me.
Hope u got my words
If u dont/Ignore here also then I dont have words

The device is old and dead. The processor won't support any more future OS versions. Even Nougat couldn't be stable too. Better get a new device if you want to enjoy development.
If u think so bro then i cant say anything.
Nougat will be stable soon because mt6582 Kernel 3.4.67 Already able to boot Nougat
Stable rom depends on the rom you port so if ur rom is already buggy then u cant do anything
Only way is to build from source but thats need kernel source which is missing for a120

We have custom kernel that can be used to build ROMs.
