I know Linux 3.3 was supposed to include all the Android code. I'm just wondering if it's possible to use a custom kernel based on Linux 3.3 on a current Android phone. I know for my phone at least (Verizon Galaxy Nexus) all I've seen are kernels based on 3.0.x. If anyone knows any custom kernels based on a newer version send me some links. If not for the Galaxy Nexus, for any phone just so I know it's possible.

It is possible, sure.
But a lot of debugging.

Can we use any ics/jellybean kernel for any ics/jellybean rom??? please tell me your opinion
Thanks in advance
Based on what I experience right now (flashed leaked jb kernel) I'd say that you can't but maybe it depends on phones and roms.
No ICS and JB Kenels are different and thus need to be specific to the Android version you are using. The case is slightly different with the verizon GNex on 4.2.2. They are still having to use 4.2.1 blobs since the device tree hasnt been updated with 4.2.2 blobs yet. This makes it to where most ROMs will still use 4.2.1 Kernels with the exception of the GSM OTA Port to the VWZ Gnex until the device trees are fully updated (assumign that happens). Cheers!
I saw many posts about how to port a ROM. But in each post, there are many requeriments. My real question is to port, for example CM 10.1 for my phone that uses ICS 4.0.4 Stock ROM, but I don't know the real requeriments. In a post I read that it had to be the same manufacturer, for the drivers problem. Plus it said that must be the same resolution, the same Android version and the same processor or processor type. Can Anyone tell me wich are the real requeriments to port a ROM to my phone?.
P.D My phone uses ICS 4.0.4 odexed
I have been looking at roms for my device for quite a while. Some are ports of s4 and xperia stock roms. How to port the latest version of android to my device? I read up on some guides and they all state that the port rom can be any working rom for my device and the base rom should be from any device which has a similar chipset. But there aren't many devices in the market with MTK6589 chipset and the existing ones don't have android 4.3. My question is , how did people manage to port the s4 stock rom to a mediate device. (the s4 has an exynos chipset). And how do people manage to port the latest android versions to their devices.
This may be a noob question but I searched through the forums and couldn't find anything much helpful.
PLS:I have some experience with Linux and its commands but don't know much of coding.
I'm looking for a flashable kernel that is compiled against Linux kernel version 3.9 or higher.
I need some new drivers included in that branch.
I know one person did it for the Nexus 5 so I'm pretty sure it should be possible on the OPO.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
I'm having HTC Desire 626G+, Running DOT OS 1.1 (Android 7.1.2).
And i'm looking for Oreo (8.0) roms for my device or my chip set (MT6592).
But i'm unable to find one, so i'm going to port a rom for myself!
And i want to know one thing...
Are there any tutorials regarding porting Android of higher version (8.0) to a device having a lower Android version (7.1.2).
All I need is, does the normal 'porting' method applies for the above or not. If not, please suggest me a tutorial.
Thanks in advance!!!
