Hello xda,
I have a noob question that I didn't find the answer anywhere.
I wanted to ask if we can flash in our phone (Htc Sensation), other ROMS coming from other phones with same features like Samsung S 2 or Htc Evo 3D. Is this possible? If it is not why we can't?
thank you in advance

Hi,
Flashing ROMS from other phones is possible,but they have to be adapted for our phones.
This is done by the clever devs in THIS FORUM

It's not possible, as other phones use different hardware etc.
Trying to flash a rom for a different device will brick your device, even if the difference between the phones is very small.

A search would have told you there is no "Best" Only what works best for your device. You may ask does it really matter. The answer is yes. Not all devices are made equal. The only way you will find the best set up for you and your device is to try them out for yourself.

Hey XDA,
I have been around for a while, gone through two phones and have had no problems rooting, flashing ROMs, etc. thanks to all of the amazing people on the site. I have come to a point though, that I am interested in learning to port ROMs (and maybe even build a ROM from AOSP, but I am taking this one step at a time). I have looked all over the Chef Central -> Android section and the Q & A section and have been unable to find a solid guide on porting ROMs from a device with different hardware than the device you want to port to. I am sorry if this has been answered elsewhere and I try to contribute as much as I can. I hope I am not inconveniencing anyone too much. If a thread already exists that can help me out, I would greatly appreciate a link, then you can close this thread.
I am only trying to port between the ATT and internation GS3s, so it shouldn't be too hard, right?
The ROM I am trying to port is PA 2.99 beta8.
Thanks,

I will give it a go! Thanks. I had noticed this one, but was unsure if it would work between devices with different hardware. I see now that it does. I will work on that ASAP. One more question though, what do you do about devices with different resolutions? I noticed the guide is for devices with the same resolution.

In my opinion this is not the question to us but rather to VenomTeam,
or the dev of a specific rom you wish to port
because it is their permission you seek rather than ours,
If you mean technical aspect- unless you try it, you/ we'll not know
Edit: i've seen htc wildfire running ics- not without a glitch- but still....
so, thinking the same way why htc rhyme wouldn' be able to run sense 4 rom...
but this is my assumption only ( i wouldn't quote me as if that was true- beyond doubt )
Rhyme's tech. spec are very similar to saga's ..... ( when we speak about bliss naturally )
just wondering if I can port since there is no custom rom for rhyme.bcause this phone is for ladies.
but if can port maybe I can make some to people out there
So I'm thinking of getting this phone in the future but I can't decide between the i9500 model and i9505.
Now, I'm not asking hardware-wise, I know the difference between the Octa and Snapdragon. I'm asking in terms of community support. Which one of these models get more developer support and faster/more stable/better ROMs and Kernels and.....stuffs?
I9505
And easier for development

A quick look at the dev forums for the two devices would give you the answer you need

Of course I did, and I couldn't really understand which one has better support.

I have already successfully rooted and flashed recoveries, radios and ROMs on 4 different Android phones before. You can't really tell how much a model is supported by just looking at the appropriate sub-forums, since even for 2 year old device as Desire there's still replies on threads, but not from devs but confused new users. Or there are very low-quality re-pack ROM devs.

Oh..In that case the clear answer is I9505 :good:
Mod Edit
Please refer to the stickies in General.
There is already a discussion thread for this.

Hello ? I'm frustrated so much, I've been trying to download custom roms for my mobile for almost three days now with no luck. I honselsty don't fully get why they're so important after a root, I mean if didn't install them would I be risking bricking my phone in the future? I'm a kind of a noob at this, so any advice or pointers would be so helpful and greatly appreciated ? Thanks.
Also I've seen all the threads on here concerning HTC desire 728 and custom roms, tried the methods there but they didn't work. I know starting a new thread about an old issue is a kind of a drag but I hoped someone would see this and answer me.

Greetings and welcome to assist. If you are happy with just root then staying as you are is perfectly safe and there is no need to flash a custom rom. Most people flash a custom rom just to get the latest updates or a couple of new features.
If you have the dual sim version then most of the custom roms on xda will not work for your variant as it is different hardware. I did find this thread that I think has a custom rom for your variant
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-desire/general/urgent-help-htc-desire-728-malfunction-t3388534
Please always make certain that you only flash a custom rom that is compatible with your variant or you may brick your phone
Good Luck
