[Q&A] Porting ROMs - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day everybody!
I created this thread here so that people cuold handle with this argument, Porting ROMs!
In particular I also wanted to ask help about a project I wanted to start by myself.
I'm new about porting full ROMs but I followed dozen of guides and got in touch with it!
I recently saw the new "Hydrogen OS" ROM for One Plus One and totally went in love with it! My project was to port this ROM to the Samsung S4.
Being my first time I'm not quite sure, so I wanted to know if someone could give me an hand or some tips!
Following guides I would like to port "Hydrogen OS" to my Samsung S4 i9505 using as base
ROM a version of CM12 5.0.2!
Is it possible? Will it boot or are they incompatible?
Can someone help me with This project?

[Q] noob looking for guides on building custom roms

hello everyone i am fairly new to the world of android ive only had 2 android phones the first was a samsung transform which i rooted and had everything done to it that was possible but recently traded it for an echo and to my dismay cannot root it so i am gonna try and build my own custom rom just dont know how to do it ive been looking online for guides but it seems like everyone i found only works with htc? if someone could please guide me in the right path on finding guides on building roms that would be awsome i am curious to learn this whole process thanx
This probably isnt the right place for your post, a section called Android Development for your specific phone would be a great place to start a thread.
As for the question though, there generally speaking are no guides for building roms. Most people will start small, with mods or themes, then slowly grow into full roms. Although based on your post, your phone cannot be rooted, so how are you expecting to install the rom without root?

[Q] [i9195] General custom ROM question for S4 Mini

Hi guys,
I just ordered a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and I am fairly certain, that I want to use Cyanogenmod on this device. Unfortunately there are no s4 mini custom roms released yet, so I thought I would try to port it myself. While this is my first android phone, I have gone through the flashing process on the phones of a few friends and I am a long-time linux user and developer, so I feel pretty confident, that I can do it.
I did some reading, but still have a few questions:
Is it correct, that Samsung smartphone bootloaders are generally unlocked? (Unless it's a carrier specific version)
Is it correct, that it is not *required* (but useful) to have CWM recovery (or similar) on samsung phones to install custom roms?
Heimdall or odin can flash them anyway?
What would I have to do to permanently brick the device? Can this happen if I mess up the kernel, recovery or anything else?
Is this guide a good resource for porting CWM to the i9195?
Regards,
Flyser
P.S.: Can we have a seperate s4 mini section in this forum?
bump
plz if u got any rom for s4 mini >> plz give me a link .. i need to port it for my htc sensation >> thanks
cyanogen might work. or maybe some rom from similar device.
some news about?
This is ridiculous... how isn't such a mainstream device supported? It's the top selling phone currently in my country...
Maybe you don't look in the right Forum section? the Root Kits and CRoms are currently in Development. Looking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980 So be patient. Don't forget there are all Homemade.

[Discussion] CM-14 for SM-T350?

Hello Devs,
I'm not nearly as experienced with Rom Developing as many others are, but I have a simple request,
Is there a Dev out there that would like to contribute to the Galaxy Tab A 8" and make a CM-14 based Rom for it?
The development for the SM-T350 has been slow, but successful, and I would really like for someone to point the spotlight onto this device and new ideas to be introduced.
Thanks for your contribution and keep the SM-T350 in mind!
Thanks,
 @vin_001

I was going to make one but Cyanogenmod has died. So I am currently working on LineageOS.
