[Q] Should I try flashing the rom i ported from htc vivid? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Okay, so I was playing with dsixda's kitchen and I tried to port a rom from vivid to skyrocket (stock vivid rom). I tried it because I like how sense looks and the phones are kind of similar. I am not sure if I want to try to flash it. honestly I'm scared s**tless to flash it. I know what could happen. What do you guys think, should i flash it? how safe is it? any other tips? anyone wanna try it?
Okay, I get that I shouldn't do it, but why? (Sorry I'm a noob too this stuff)

I'm no dev, but I would say no lol

a flashable zip???
Good luck flashing those apps to your system you don't have the space our system partition is only 598mb theirs has to be at least a gig because that's the size of the system folder installing one by one to test out though should be fine

Should I even consider Rom Manager?

I have heard from sources that rom manager is a quick and easy way to get CWM and Roms onto my phone, but then I hear from other people that it will brick the skyrocket. Can someone put this into perspective for me?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
This it's a question you could've answered yourself by spending five minutes with the search button. ROM Manager is good for fixing permissions and making paperweights on the Skyrocket, and that's about it.

It's a brick maker, don't use it.

ROM manager is worthless for this phone. Just fix permissions in recovery.

Can I flash a Vibrant ROM onto this phone?

Like in the title, I know the phones are extremely similar so can I flash a vibrant ROM onto the gs4g and vice versa?

You will get a higher risk to bricking it.
100% brick.
Can you? Yes.
Will it work after? No.
If you've applied the unbrickable mod to reverse booting order, can it be recovered after? Maybe.
Would I risk it for a guaranteed non-booting ROM? Nope.
All in favor say.........Hell no!
test it out and report back to us
