[Q] Porting Roms to I9500?

Hey guys, this is kind of a silly question knowing that the two devices (i9500 and i9505) have different processors and graphic cards but is it even possible to port the i9505 custom roms to the i9500?
Developer Question: How hard would it be if possible to port it and how hard would it be to make the rom compatible for both devices?
Thanks in Advance
Stay Cool:d

i guess its possible
compatibility might not be a big issue cause u r just going to port apps,media frameworks and lib files
But u can only port ofiicial 4.2.2 based roms of i9505 to i9500
Which guide r u referring to while porting?

I would say it's nearly impossible, as i9500 and i9505 had different processors, camera sensor, GPU etc. Talking about processors, the Exynos 5 Octa and Snapdragon 600 is a big difference. Those ROM files like lib.so and framework files had already built in for their hardware.
However, I remebered that someone wants to port HTC One ROM to Galaxy S3 International version (Exynos 4 Quad), it worked. But with lots of lots of bugs including lags. When he gaveup he finally stated that it's hard to port ROMs on different hardwares.
Hope this helps

galaxy y kitkat

will galaxy young uptade to kitkat ? wiil it get a new uptade by samsung? if yes . when will get

please people stop creatiing threads like this - im getting bored it now
There may be ics builds now the drivers have been released
asking for ETA and demands are against xda rules and is just annoying
who knows what will happen in 5yrs time but I expect people will have new phones by then!
Best thing people can do is stop posting things like when we have xyz and I cant wait bla bla bla and just wait for the people who are compiling ics/cm9 to do it
It will be ready when its ready and not before
You will know its ready when it is posted - not before
Do we all get it now
sorry to be harsh but if you read the threads in the forum and the rules you would know the current state of play
Thank you

never never never !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey! it is impossible to have kitkat on out Y
Reasons:
1. It requires 512mb of ram. Y have only 300mb.
2. The rom is much bigger than to our Y.

just buy new device if you want kitkat

if u want use cyanocream v4.. :silly:
lol

maybe galaxy y can flashing kitkat ,but it's just custom rom

You can run kitkat in devices less than 512mb. Example: Galaxy Mini, Ace, Gio and Fit.

Note 3 Stock Moded Rom for Grand

Dear Devs,
Today I searched some stock samsung apps like multiwindow, launcher on google
I found some Devs Ported Note 3 Rom in to the Micromax Canvas HD A116 Device and completely look like N3
My Question is When i was buying Grand Duos the price was Rs.21500, and Canvas HD Just 10500 the point is why Grand Duos is not getting the other flagship device rom ported like the micromax A116,
Grand Duos Got Some brilliant Brave Devs in this forum, its not very compel to port its my humble request to give some try.
pls dont take serious just sharing my thought if its not possible pls clarify the difference

See. There are many phones out there with mtk chipset, but phones with Broadcom chipset are less in number. Mtk chipset always have ported versions of the latest android version. We have source built versions which is good. We can't port roms from other devices because of less phones of Broadcom chipset. Also our devs are too busy to look into this project. So I think your request will be turned down.

I totally agree with u that we should have got a port but then the port for tw stock based custom rom always depends on the base and base for note 3 and S5 apps to work is android 4.4kk or either 4.3 and I have a strong feeling i9082 will be updated and if I'm not wrong this will be second firmware update for grand!!!

[REQUEST][TAB 2 7"][P-3110]Galaxy S5 ROM

As the title said..Can anyone make a Galaxy S5 ROM? On Samfirmware there is the Official Firmware of Galaxy S5 and I got the SystemUI.apk of it Anyone?
Thank you.

I think it would be easier to port from a tablet based rom.

Buddy porting a rom is verry different from device to device. And to port you need to have a devices with basic similarity like same amount of RAM same processor and same sensors . What you are asking is to high because you cant compare the specs of S5 and Tab 2 they are totally different in terms of specs. so it is nearly impossible to port it without the help of Samsung . At most tab 3 might be of any luck

Bro i know this. I was not asking for porting the S5 ROM from Samsung Galaxy S5. I know that this is impossible. I was asking if someone can mod SystemUI.apk - Framework-res.apk and other things like S5

Port this ROM to S4 would be a GREAT idea !:good::good::good::good:

Insert logic here....

Note 3 has a snapdragon 800 while the S4 has the Snapdragon 600.
a post from @Albe95 where he explains everything.
Albe95 said:
Yep I already saw that. How they port that? Simply thanks to Exynos they port full ROM of Note 3 exynos on their S4 exynos. It would be bad for Aosp ROM but Exynos is better for porting (look at Note 2 and S3: they port KitKat on S3 and 4.4.4 of s3 neo on Note 2 because Exynos of these 2 phone are very similar)
Now is that possible for our S4 Snapdragon? No. Why? There is too much difference between Snap600 and Snap800. It's possible to port on Snap800 variant of S4? With most of probably (99%) yes. In fact S5 ROM can completely ported to Note 3 for example (801 vs 800)

y u no understand? it cannot be ported okay?
it's better to wait for a stable build than a broken not working build.
