Port between 531 (5.1.1) and 530 (4.4.4/5.0.2) devices?

Hey. Since all models have similar hardware, isn't it possible to port stock ROMs between them? E.G, 531BT 5.1.1 to 530BT.
Sorry if it's a newbie question.
no, hardware not similar on 531 and 530 devices..530 have snapdragon chipset and adreno gpu..531 have marvel chipset and vivante/malli gpu

Samsung S5 G900F and graphic driver

Hello,
As I know Qualcomm has not made corresponding graphics drivers for the new Vulkan API for Snapdragon 800 and 801. So S5 can't have Android 7.x Nougat. If it is true how it is possible that we have CM/Lineageos 14.x for S5? Did developers write their own graphics drivers? What about performance comparing to official 6.0.1 Marshmallow?
best regards,

We don't need to use the Vulkan API to run CM14.X/LineageOS, therefore there is no need to write new drivers Vulkan is only required when a manufacturer wants to ship android nougat to their device officially. Performance wise, official 6.0.1 marshmallow will always be the best when compared to AOSP because Samsung has some closed-source drivers that can only be used on official stock ROM.

AnTuTu Benchmark Vulkan Support

So I've been recently trying to benchmark my Axon 7 with AnTuTu (running latest official Oreo on my phone). It scores around 187000 with AnTuTu v9.0.3. My question is why it says on AnTuTu that my phone doesn't support Vulkan API. AnTuTu uses Vulkan to further test GPU power. I read somewhere that Snapdragon 820 and Adreno 530 are capable of supporting Vulkan API. I bet if AnTuTu tested my phone with Vulkan rather than skip that part, my phone would score higher in GPU power! Does it say that your Axon 7 doesn't support Vulkan API either?! What's your Axon 7's score on AnTuTu?
Our chipset support vulkan, just stock oreo doesn't.
Oreo B04 has daydream support. Maybe it also support vulkan.
Raystef66 made two packages with newer adreno drivers for both - stock and custom roms.

Oh, thank you for your reply. I never thought the latest stock Oreo on Axon 7 couldn't support Vulkan. I'd be checking raystef66's drivers later.
