These two devices are Very different, if you tried flashing it on your mini it would brick it, if you want to port a rom to a different phone they need to have similar specs,
not sure the order but here we go: Resolution needs to be the same, needs the same CPU, and i think it as well needs the same screen size.

Quickest way to brick your phone ?
Flash a rom from another phone.
No it is not possible unless someone specifically ports the elements of the rom into the architecture of a behold rom, such as a Mega rom for the Kaiser, or the many Leo roms for the TP II
That's what I meant? Like is it possible?

No it is not possible. It is made for the hd2
Yes it is. But only if you make the kernel and other software compatible with the behold. You can't just flash the rom.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6 U.S. version (capacative home button)

I take notice that there is little support for the U.S. version of the Galaxy Player 3.6. in the way of custom roms and whatnot. I have manged to root mine and remove all the bs apps. I am looking to install clockworkmod to the device and have not been sucessful in finding a way to do so. Are there any suggestions someone may have? I am willing to use my device experimentally for testing if necessary.
i think this can help

I cannot provide enough thanks, you guys are awesome. I flashed the mod and it worked flawlessly. The only concern I have is now I have no wifi, I know there is something else I need to modify when kernels are changed, but I cannot remember what.

[Q] Question about overclocking~ (Note 2 N7100)

Hey xda~ :laugh: noobynoob here and I got a few questions about overclocking, here we go:
1. Is it safe?
Just bought a Note 2 N7100 and got it in a bootloop [scared me senseless, thank god i fixed it]
2. Kernels?
Um what are kernels and what do they differ?
3.Are all kernels for overclocking compatible for my device/rom?:fingers-crossed:
Note 2 N7100 with Dr.Ketan's Custom Rom v10.0 android version 4.4.2 (I currently have my eyes on this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001838)
4.What kernel do you guys recommend (in case this one isnt compatible or if you just know a better one):victory:
I'm open to suggestions, I just want whats best for my phone
5.If something goes wrong flashing the kernel is there a chance I get bricked/stuck in a bootloop?
already messed up once when trying to flash my custom rom, im afraid itll happen again
ThanQ :laugh:

The kernel, in the simplest terms, is the piece of software in the operating system that tells the OS how to use the hardware.
Custom kernels typically take the stock kernel and modify the settings, and/or add features and setting parameters (often ported from other custom kernels).

I don't know. It's your responsibility to make sure it's compatible. I know Samsung makes many different versions of their Notes and Galaxy XS models (for different carriers, different regions of the world, etc), so a kernel for one version of the Note 2 might not work with your Note 2.
Further, just like it is with computer processors, not all are created equal. After manufacturing, processors are tested sorted into "bins" (literally) according to how well they work. Typically processors are all underclocked below their potential to some degree. That way they're not maxed out and overheating won't be a problem. Since they're underclocked, that means they can be overclocked to their true potential, but how far is a roll of the dice. One guy's Note 2 might have a processor from a higher bin and stably overclockable to 1.9GHz. Or you might have gotten one from a lower bin, and all you can OC it to is 1.7GHz. OC'ing too far will cause glitches and crashes.

I can't help you with that. It's best that you just read up on the kernel(s) you want to try, and by "read", I mean start from the first post, and read every post until you've read them all. That way you know about possible problems and how to sort them out if you encounter them.

If you have a custom ROM, that means you have a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, etc). From within the recovery you can do what's called a nandroid backup. It probably won't be labeled as "nandroid" (even though that's what we call it), but just a backup. This creates an "image" of your phone as it is when you run the backup. Store it on your SD card or PC (or both). If something goes wrong, you should still be able to reboot into recovery and restore your backup. Or, if you have a copy of your current kernel (custom ROMs sometimes have their own kernels, and might be available to download), you can just reflash the old kernel in recovery.
ThanQ
hmmm I guess ill need to read up more, I read on the kernels page something about needing a touchwiz based rom? what does that mean and how do I tell if my rom is tocuh based? As for that backup idea, that seems pretty useful, im gonna do that right now

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.

Yes you can do it but , it was going to take long time , and you can also port it on any S3 lollipop rom and , if S6 firmware is marshmallow then use any marshmallow rom for S3 and try to port :good:
Hello, S6 or S7 lock screen can be ported to use on 9300?
Is "slide to unlock" case, the lower left corner to add "telephone" icon?
I know this is difficult, but could you tell me you will modify the s3 lock screen?

NO, you can't simply port the ROM. The damn S6 has, to begin with, a bigger screen resolution, so the UI would look weird AF. Second, the kernel can only be compiled by Samsung from THEIR own sources. And third, the most important aspect, i9300 has 1 GB of RAM. The closest device and the most suited would be the i9305.
CASE CLOSED. Please research before posting.

Yes I know everything about S6 and everybody knows here that it has bigger screen resolution and it also has big UI so we have to make it possible to fit in our S3 and second everyone knows that we have to do some changes in kernel also and S3 has 1 GB ram so I want to tell you that we are not trying to flash S6 rom on S3 okay so don't take any kind of tension because, everyone here test his rom perfectly before posting
And please forgive me if I have used bad words in this reply , After all we all are one community
Cheers
And sorry for my bad english :good:

Porting TouchWIz ROM's is possible but chances are nil unless the source ROM is from a Qualcomm Samsung device or it has a related Exynos device with same specs. Also due to the lack of proper source code and other info’s so porting can be a very hard job on Exynos, unlike Qualcomm devices it will be easy as cake due to some other Qualcomm devices shared the same RAM, processor and resolution and its dev-friendly nature.
What of the other exynos device s like the mega 2 ?

What is the difference between the Exynos 4412 and the 4415,all I know is they have a different clock speed but is that the only difference?
It's still possible to port mega 2 rom to note 2 but that would take a while or months to complete but it's still worth it tho.
