I don't think you can find a 'universal' ROM because every device has different hardware and stuff. What you can do is find a device with specifications similar to yours (screen resolution, CPU etc) and then port a ROM from that device to yours. There are many good guides here that tell you how to do that.

try cyanogenmod they are pretty universal at this point

Anyone here using P970 with Avatar ROM?

[Q] Device unsupported by custom rom. anyway to install?

I'm somewhat new to the whole idea of rooting an android device, and flashing custom roms. I've rooted my phone successfully, but there doesn't seem to be a custom rom tailored to my phone anywhere on the web. Is there any way I could use a custom rom (looking at CyanogenMod) for a different device on my own?
Any and all help is appreciated.

U can port ur own rom for ur device from the custom rom of a similar device with same specs if available with the help of dozens of tutorial in xda.
But you ll have to put a lot of hardwork on learning and implementing it, also have to sacrifice much of ur time. Indeed if you don't wanna do that, just wait until some devs to come up to cook rom for ur device if ur device model is new
Hit thanks rather than typing it

I think I'll take a look at some of the tutorials and give that a go. I aim to have as much control over my device as possible.

Yes you can get the jb UI but the 4.0+ apps won't work.You can get most of the features of jellybean.
A simple example is Ace 5830i which don't have jb but you can get UI using custom roms.

You have to search the internet for a Custom rom or here on XDA.
I recommend XDA since almost every ROM here is stable enough to run on the specific device
thnx for reply....

I don't really understand the question?
What do you mean with done? Like that they stop with making or that the CM can be flashed?

He meant that can it be ported.
@saisaranp Yes brother it can be ported .
sorry for the late..how it can be ported
hey piyush,
I am actually very new to this.So is there a custom rom available anywhere or whether it should be created??
Google it........
You can check for custom roms on Google and here on XDA ........
if you find one then its nice bt if you can't find one it may be due to lack of developer support....
if your device becomes popular it will surely have many custom roms.......
the best way is to ask any developer to make custom roms ......
and if you want Cyanogen mod better ask at cyanogenmod.org forums.........
no cyanogenmod at the website

Generally not. (Compiled) Roms can be "ported" kinda easy if both phones have the same specifications. Porting (compiled) roms to phones with different specifications is a lot of work (you will need at least the kernel sourcecode and create a device specific kernel) or not possible. Flashing a rom to a not compatible phone will either brick the phone or beeing refused by the phone/recovery/flashtool.

A custom rom must be created / ported specilly for your specific device. It must be compatible / fitted for with ALL of your phone's components.
so rom like this one here
mt6572roms.blogspot .com/2014/09/rom-afterlife-60-for-mt6572-features.html
won't be compatible with my phone ?

You can't install it without further modifications I suppose. I haven't found any confirmed to work custom roms for your phone Have you already rooted your device and installed a custom recovery?
what further modification are we talking about here?
i didn't rooted nether installed any thing

I found this link for the Afterlife 6.0 rom --> CLICK ME
Your phone is listed as "needs to be ported". The point is that there are just some poor informations from different blogs but not a single thread in a forum which provides any reliable informations.
There are many tuts on XDA on how to port a rom. One of the main issues is that cheap chipset that these devices use. They never release the kernel source for the device so porting at best is what you get and most of the time there are issues that cant be fixed
any easy tutorial on how to port a rom
and porting a rom will that Ensures that dual sim will work and the 3G ?

[Q] verykool Spark II s5015 ROM Question

Hello,
With the recent Android M coming out soon, I wanted to try to find a custom ROM to flash onto my Android Phone. It's the VeryKool Sparks II s5015. However, being as it's not very much supported, I'm having issues finding ROM's etc for Lollipop custom builds. Does anyone have any idea's where I could get one? Or what? CM 12 doesn't appear to be compatible.
hey bro, your phone it's compatible but there are no developers working on your specific device, thats the reason for that you can't find a ROM... Whatever your phone have MTK Chipset, install cpu-z app from playstore and see what model is. example mine device is mt6572. when you sure know your device chipset can download custom rom from here: http://_www.mtkroms.com_/ and here: http://_www.mtkcrom.blogspot.com_/ (delete the "_" on URL) obviously you have to ported first for your device, but don't worry, there are tutorials on the pages.
finally sorry for my bad english and... do all things at your own risk, if i helped you click the "thanks" button
