No,no,no
I have xperia tipo and earlier I flashed xperia ion rom suddenly Mobile got bricked,this is becoz not every device has same hardware and drivers

The kernel, put very simply, is a bit of software that tells the operating system how to use the hardware. CPU, GPU, RAM, screen, buttons, etc. Thus, kernels are device specific. ROMs are also device specific. NEVER flash a ROM, kernel, or recovery that isn't for your specific device, unless you want a battery powered paperweight.

But i discovered a lollipop custom update for unite 2. I asked there should i flash it in my intex aqua y2 pro. They said yes you can. Also on another website it is written that device name is only for personal preference. But a device with same android version is also compatible. I dont know what to do? Also can i overclock my processor without flashing a custom kernel? My current pre installed kernel version is 3.4

Don't flash anything unless it is specifically for your device. You will get a very expensive paperweight if you just flash random things.

No, the ROM must be specifically built for your specific model number, using anything else will almost certainly brick your device.

[Q] can i install a custom rom which is not made for mu micromax A27?

Hello guys!! I have recently rooted my phone as it is a low end device, i want to do more with this phone thats why i rooted it. Now i want to install custom ROM on it but there are very few custom ROMs available for me- like jellycream snd dreamboltx. I didn't like the interface of both ROMs, I want to install a ROM which has UI like Xperia, is there that type of ROM which is made for my phone?? or can i Install any random ROM?? I also did not find my device listed in cyanogenmod's website and also not in any leading Custom ROM website.. please tell me some ROMs i can try.. and also tell me are there any custom kernel which i can try, if yes then how to flash kernel?

[Q] How to flash custom kernel in htc explorer? Which work on cm11 rom?

Plz help for overclocking device. my phone work on cm11 but kernel not over clocking. plz help how to install custom kernel.
If there is a custom kernel available for that particular Rom then you can flash it. Read CM11 Rom thread. If there is a kernel available in that section, flash it otherwise ask them about the kernel because many roms come with overclocked kernels and many aren't.

[Q] What should be kept in mind while porting a ROM?

I want to port a ROM to a certain device which has no ROMs available. If I take a ROM made for another device which has similar hardware i.e. display, no. of SIM cards and RAM but not the same processor. Would I be able to just flash that ROM on my device?
Like Xperia M2 and Lenovo S660. Both have almost same specs, can I take an M2 ROM and just flash it on S660? Without any changes.
