[Q] General Questions about ROM´s

Hey,
in the last Time I deal with modifying CustomROMs and I want to know what are the prerequisites so that an ROM works?
So, why I cant install a Nexus4 ROM on a SGS3?
I love the new UbuntuOS but I have a MT6577 processor phone, what are the Requirements that I can run the UbuntuOS
I hope this Question is not so stupid
Thanks..

I'm not gonna get into the technical jumbo of why u can't flash Roms from different phones remember a different phone is going to have different hardware inside it and please DO NOT FLASH YOUR PHONE WITH A ROM FOR A DIFFERENT DEVICE you will own a brick just a warning

Each phone has different hardware and so a kernel compiled with the drivers for this hardware, as well as changes to suit the hardware within the ROM (for example screen sizes, different sensors etc)
Android is not like windows/linux you can not simply install one ROM from one device to another

the current system requirements for UbuntuOS are found here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone/operators-and-oems

Thanks for this Answers
is it possible to extract the Kernel and put it into another ROM.
And if my Phone bricked caused by a false ROM, cant I flash the Old ROM or at least flash the Recovery?

Sure you can install Ubuntu Desktop on an ARMV7-based android device.
See this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1872752
What is more, Ubuntu for Phone may be released soon. Just wait for a few months.

[Q] How to check custom ROM compatibility?

How can I check if a custom ROM is compatible with my phone?
Is it only compatible on a certain phone?
I have a Cherry Mobile Burst, And sadly I can't find a custom ROM for my unit. So I'm asking if there are other custom ROM that I can use??
Thanks!!! :crying:

The only real way is to make sure it specifically states that it IS for your device. If you cannot find one for your device, then you can try to develop one. Even the identical chipset will have different hardware that make the ROMs incompatible.
If it does not say "This ROM is for XXX device" then don't flash it, that's my advice.

I doubt it because there is a lot of work that goes into developing a ROM, like hours and hours, so usually phones that not many people have don't really get it, because why develop for a phone that 20 people own when you can develop for one that thousands or millions of people own.
Keep looking, there may a custom ROM out there, does your phone go by another name? Like an actual model number?

There are no developers that own that device, if they did then there would be ROMs for it.
There is no point in asking or waiting for developers to make ROMs for this device because it will never happen.
You've got a low end device that no one is interested in developing for, you'll have to learn to do it yourself if you want ROMs, that's the only way you'll get ROMS for this device.

first of all to flash a rom you need your device to be rooted, is your device rooted? second do you know for sure that this rom is for your device? because if you try you will brick and break your tablet.

so pretty much android is allot like windows in many ways, its pretty much a computer, the only thing thats missing is admin privileges which is called rooted for android, it pretty much gives you access to messing with the entire device such as maybe your tablet comes with stupid bloatware apps that you dont use and they are taking up space, rooted devices can remove thouse apps, but you would have t be carefull, some of them can break your device if you delete them. now flashing is pretty much installing windows 8 on a windows 7 computer. so say your phone/tablet was only updated to android 2.2 (which is a older android version, we are at 4.3 right now and googles working on 4.4 as we speak!) and the people who made the device dont support it anymore is pretty much saying your stuck at a low version, its outdated, buy the newer better one for 200 $ more. thats where android comes in handy, you flash whatever version of android you want on your device, or you could install the same version but another devices interface such as touchwiz for samsung phones, maybe you want htc's sense instead of touchwiz.

I think it depends on which rom you use, rom cook or stock.
If you use rom cook then you can find a rom in I9500 Development section.
If you use stock rom then you can download the suitable version here: www.samsung-updates.com/‎
You're gonna need odin, Kies to flash the rom. Further instructions you can search in the forum I think.

Hi,
Thank once again for your help. I´m not sure what rom is used because I buy the phone from a guy that was selling in a small market, I am pretty sure is a copy, the brand is SPRD. I do think that Samsung rooms are no suitable for this device so It as to be one used by this brand and model. The room in used is jdq39.i9500zsuamdf.
I´m new in android area, up until now I´ve been used IOS phone, so I be thankful to any help I can get to put this phone running.
Regards,
Carlos

Sorry I don't really get it. Basically is your phone Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 (causer there are different version for Galaxy S4 I9505, I9506...).
You can check this by going to Settings ->More-> About Device-> MOdel number to make sure.
Regarding the SPRD, where is it on the phone ? I think it means Singapore.

Hi,
The phone is a clone, not an original Samsung, it was made in china. The SPRD I think stands for spreadtrum. After some research it came to a conclusion that this phone are also known as Feiteng.
So my main problem is not sure what rom to use.

Hi Charles, I have the same mobile than yours, if you want I can spend the rom, but has a couple of problems, 1-supuesamente this rooted but using apps as root unninstaller, the app gives a message that says "your device is not rooted ... "but with other apps like SET CPU if that is rooted out. if still want it I'll pass, but could you tell me the exact steps to extract the rom. and you could send your rom that you will try to fix that problem of yours. PD maybe the problem is that you put your other launcher and you selected as the default, and surely this launcher is not supported by your device which produces a black screen. ee had problem when you install a miui launcher. regards PD2 if accomplished putting on the ro stock or you fixed your problem I pray you send me the link to download the rom or I upload the back up of your rom.

does not have CWM installed.
I'm not sure if this phone supports a custom rom (told you , no info about this model)....or if you can guide me for another phone that shares similar specifications.( I have seen that galaxy SIII mini looks like to have almost the same specs, or galaxy Ace 2 as well)
These are the specs that I think are important

Never ever try flashing a rom that's not meant for your specific device model cos that's bound to brick it. As for the recovery you'd be better off searching the place where u found the rooting method for it. But remember never to flash anything that's not meant for u abd always have a backup at hand.

THANKS

By then I suggest you download android tuner pro. Its a paid app available on the play store and is capable of doing almost everything that you'll expect a custom rom to do. Also have a look at the thread in my signature. That'll help you a lot too and with much lesser risk of damaging your device.
