[Q] Flash ROM from a device with same specs? - General Questions and Answers

Hey, all.
Not much android development for the ZTE Blade III so, a question: If I flash a ROM built for a device with identical or near-identical hardware, to my device, will it work? Btw, I did try to search and found a guide here on porting a ROM in these circumstances (same hardw..), but I'm not sure if it applies or if it's a different method..
There are Galaxy S Duos S7562, Desire V and perhaps others that are identical to the Blade III in hardware, according to GSMarena. There are devices that differ slightly, like the XPERIA J and Optimus L7.
Bottom line, if there'll be say a Cyanogenmod 10 for any of those devices would it be safe to flash my Blade III with it?

[Q] Flash Clockworkmod Recovery for Samsung Glalaxy Precedent?

Hi I just got the Samsung Galaxy Precedent and I want to install a custom ROM on it. I don't really like the current firmware personally. I already rooted it and installed Rom Manager. When i try to flash it for Clockworkmod Recovery, it gives me a list of phones:
-Commtiva Z71
-Dell Streak
-Geeksphone ONE
-Huawei Ascend
-Huawei Ascend 2
-Huawei Pulse
-Huawei Pulse Mini
-Huawei U8220/U8230
-Micromax A70
-Spice MI700
None of them are even close to Samsung Galaxy Precedent... Can someone make a guide for me or give me a link? That would be very helpful!!!! Thank you.
You cannot use any of the custom roms out there unless they are made specifically for the Precedent, which to my knowledgethere are non, yet. There are roms out there for the Prevail, however they will not work with the Precedent, and ( I believe) you run the risk of bricking your phone. Here is where I got most of my information from, and maybe it's been updated last time I was there with roms for the precedent and stuff. replace the (dot).

[Q] Custom ROMs for Galaxy S (t-mobile)

Hi,
I'm having trouble finding ROMs that will work for my specific device. The problem is that there is so many versions of the Samsung Galaxy S, and I'm 100 % sure which version I even have. Plus it's becoming relatively outdated due to the S II and S III.
My phone is rooted and everything and I have already tried flashing one custom ROM that supposedly works with Galaxy S but the install failed and I had to start again.
So if anyone could point me to where I could find ROMs for my specific device that would be wonderful. Now let me give you all the info I can about my phone...
Samsung Galaxy S (possibly Galaxy S 4g? or vibrant?)
T Mobile US version
Model Number SGH-T959V
Firmware 2.3.6
Baseband T959VUVKJ6
Kernel 2.6.35.7-sms-kj6-v0.1.1-rc1+ (custom root kernel)
Gingerbread VUVKJ6

M-Horse N9000W

I just learned today from a WIND Representative that my M-Horse N9000W Chinese phone is not compatible with the WindMobile network. However, she did tell me that there might be a way to change the frequency of the phone to match Wind's. She mentioned flashing. Does anybody have any idea in how to attempt this? I have experience in rooting and flashing ROMs (Nexus 4, LG G2x, Samsung Gio, S2, S3 and S4). Please help me.

[Q] No Official Custom ROM for Samsung Grand i9082

Hi
I am a samsung grand user and am quite happy so far with my device. Some time back i flashed carbon ROM on my device and it worked well too, recently i flashed it with CM12 (unofficial) its working like a charm. Just out of curriosity i wanted to know why there is no support for this device (i9082) on any custom ROM site. i.e there is no OFFICIAL rom available for this device, although many developers do create unofficial custom roms for this device but why this device is not considered by the original ROM makers to have a official one. Is this device not good enough, not challenging enough, or on a technical front does it have many criticalities or challenges, or is it too basic device to work upon. I mean devices like samsung ace which is totally outdated, galaxy s, galaxy mini kind of devices are supported then why not this one.
Any answers will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Note : Thanks pawitp for your wonderful work for this device.

can i flash gt-i9082's custom roms on my gt-i9060?

Hi, i have Samasung Galaxy Grand Neo gt-i9060. I looked everywhere for custom roms for this device but i couldn't find any. In the other hands; SGGN gt-i9082 is getting so many custom roms : CM11, CM12 and more. So, i was wondering whether if i could install gt-i9082's roms on my gt-i9060 without any issues?
Sorry for my English and thank you all.
Hi there,
NO YOU CAN'T!!!
Unfortunately I don't think such ROM thing exists for you device until now. With a quick search i found this one:
[ROM][4.2.2][B3][GT-I9060][GRAND NEO] GenNxt Pre-Rooted Stock
That's just a rooted stock ROM though. Unfortunately low-end devices such as this rarely receive any attention from developers. You can keep an eye out in this section though:
Miscellaneous Android Development
Galaxy Grand (Lite) Neo GT-I9060
You never know what might pop up in the future, good luck
