Mostly likely not, but is it possible to install another phone's OS onto another phone model, eg. the Samsung Galaxy Note's on the U8800?

Yes if you port it.

That would take a developer or programmer to do, because no one has yet ported it?
Hi developers,
I'm new to this world and got alot of questions looking to find their answers.
I bought recently a new Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 (comes with customised android provided by the french operator Orange), I really need to know how to replace the actual system with the official one!
2nd demand is, should I need to upgrade my phone to Android 4,3? I've seen 2 versions the Android-4.3-I9505GUEUBMFP-Odexed-I9505 and Android-4.3-I9505GUEUBMFP-Deodexed-I9505, what is the difference between those 2 versions ?
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Cheers
You can google the difference between odexed and deodexed. It helped me too when I have no idea the difference between the two. In other words, use search if you have questions but if you were not able to search for an answer that is the time to start a new thread.

4.3 was only released on the Google play edition gs4. With that said this must be a ROM you are talking about. You have to be rooted and custom recovery installed. Odex and deodex are confusing things but odex is mainly for performance and other mods may fail. Deodex is a stable ROM that can have more variety of mods installed but may lag. Do some research if you never flashed a ROM because, and trust me when I say this, you don't want to be reading post like crazy at 4am rushing to get the process done so you can get sleep.

The best suggestion is to read up first and use the search function, start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149990
then have a look at the stickies in each forum for instructions.
First, let me tell you a few things:
1) Unless your question is really specific and noteworthy, ask it here.
2) Try to find the answer for your question before you post it. Chances are that your question has been answered before.
As for your questions:
1) What do you mean by official? Do you mean touchwiz not modified by your carrier? If yes, then check this thread.
2) The non google edition s4s haven't been updated to 4.3, So that's probably a custom rom. ( btw thanks robogoflow for explaining the difference. I didn't know it myself. )
Oh another thing to remember, respect, in other words don't go around making demands, it's not nice nor polite... people are more likely to genuinely WANT to help you rather than scald you :thumbup:

It seems impossible to find anything when 1000s of Google results are scummy suspicious paywall blogs with oddly similar comment sections. I was looking to update my phone to use Cyanogen mod but the device is not on the supported device list but there are devices from lower tier levels.
Full name for my device is: Galaxy J500FN (maybe it has a different name elsewhere ?) a mid range Samsung phone. In Europe. I found a thread about rooting it but that's not really the same.
Not sure how/where to look for answers.
I own the same device currently and would to get answers to this question. This phone has many users in Asia and Middle East. Btw the full name for my device is Galaxy j500H
I have searched a lot but no luck. I could find anything reliable.

Maybe just wanting something different. There are phones out there from Samsung and other manufacturers of lower and same tier with Android 5.1 which have custom roms.
And it's not just look and feel improvements, voice input/output, better image/video quality, batter life etc..

I specifically want a deodexed rom just for Xposed framework to work. Other than that I am pretty much satisfied with the stock rom.

Ok getting the deodexed rom is easy.
Just install kitchen and cygwin on pc and setup the up correctly.
And then using cwm recovery make a backup of a factory reseted device and then just send me a screenshot of folders which you have.
After i tell you which filder to choose paate them into kitchen and start kitchen to make a working folder.
Then inside kitchen menu deodex apps and framework folder and then repack the rom.
After repacking flaah the rom using cwm recovery.
Your root will not be lost.
In least cases if root lost after flaahing the re root it using same method as you used before for rooting.
And for improvments you want in custom rom. I will try to get them in the rom.

Thanks but currently CWM is not available, I am using twrp and I know the procedure you just mentioned but I'd rather wait for someone to cook a rom than do it myself. Time boht kam hai dost
So install the terminal emulator and write this.
Su
Tar -c /system/* /sdcard/system.tar
And wait patiently for the emulator to respond ok
Now you got the system.tar
And now get the boot.img from the rom
When you get both the files paste them in original rom folder in kitchen and stary cygwin
You can get good guids on cygwin and dsixda kitchen and how to set them.up correctly.
If not then i will tell you guys tommorow. Today going to sleep it too late here 1:27 am.
Good night bros

Hey,
I'm joining there.
So, after a bit of research i found a CM12.1 for Galaxy E5, wich is almost the same phone as the J5 (same proc, same RAM, same display). If anyone can port that rom to this device, that would be awesome.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-galaxy-e5-e500h-t3255586
I just cant understand this new porting method (5.1.1 has the system.new.dat - and the base rom is just a tar.md5).

There are many roms for moto g3 which is very slow in app opening when compared to j5,
So why can't we hv roms.
C tech trinkets video moto g3 vs j5 on YouTube
J5 is midrange beast.
Because that's not how things work, your phone opens apps "faster" good for you, doesn't mean anything.

PathROM was designed to help porting MIUI to devices. I used it 3-4 years ago for porting MIUI to my LG P500. A developer/user could definitely go the manual way, but it would be mess.
Anyways, why do you need MIUI on your 6P? I have had a nightmare using MIUI. And last I used was on the Nexus S.

Well, i just like it more than i like cyanogen or other roms... Also has awesome themes and i like the design of the rom.
I understand that is not maybe the best rom for modding or battery usage, but still a great looking rom.

I extracted everything that is necessary and I have copied over the files, how to symlink everything together again? I'm using windows, I suspect I should use linux and extract everything there, right? Or there is any android kitchen (that support 6.x) that helps with this?
Many thanks

Thank you guys, I will use your help.
Today I will look into it, for the moment i'm still figuring out how to keep symlinks and permissions on windows, but i guess it's impossible. I will try firing up a vm with nix if everything fails.
Ok, so... I made a system and boot img, but I didn't tested those, and I can't get the updater-script to work. If someone helps me with this, I will be really thankful.
The permissions and symlinks part is something that worries me, but I keeped the symlinks and permission from original system.img filesystem by mounting it as a drive in linux and applying mods there.
Also, I keeped every part of the symlink script that camed with miui, so it should tecnically work.
If some of you guys helps me testing this, we can do it.
**** WARNING. IT CAN DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE AND AT THE MOMENT, IT DOESN'T WORK!!! ****
Here is the rom: https://mega.co.nz/#!b90GSJRa!7rXM2UhwtEw8M0fbIrK2F3za9w5KTGY1FPD4IGmHu1k
It was ported from the Mi Note (not the pro) which has really similar specs to our device, and this version also includes an italian translation (so there are 3 langs, English, Chinese and Italian)
No ones helping? I really wish i could help you with the testing but as i dont have computer access right now dont wanna brick my 6p without being able to repair it without pc.
Ok, i managed to get the rom flashed... So. The boot image seems almost fine, since i got to the bootanimation screen. There, it stucks.
I don't know how to debug it, since the adb doesn't show up (and is active in kernel)
I activated adb by the use of:
Code:
ro.adb.secure=0
ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=0
ro.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb
persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.debuggable=1
in the kernel default.prop... I don't know if these lines are outdated, but i'm still trying guys.

Miui 8? of course
Somebody tell me the procedure... I can port it...
I was reading the porting guide myself the other day... but it seems to be quite a bit of work!

I'm interested
Past monday I've made one version based on AOSP 6.0.1 from xda
I can't test it yet, because I've only one nexus 4 and it's used on my work.
I've tried to flash but, I can't, get stuck on the begining of updater script. I think it was because I'm on TWRP and I need to change to Clock Work Recovery.
I have no time to flash it beacuse I need to travel out from home this week. All rejects should be repaired.
If some want to test, i'll put a link to my drive. It's a heavy zip about 650 Mb, I think some apk's should be removed like FM that will not work on our nexus 4 but I can't do it today..

It's not a problem with TWRP, it's a rom size problem. Fullota.zip is too big and compatible with TWRP 3.0.2.
I'm reducing his size deleting sounds, apk's inside the zip.
