Note: I am a beginner.
Hello,
I have tried very hard but I was not able to find any custom ROM for my Micromax Canvas Tab P650 running Jelly Bean. Two websites offered Andriod 5.0 ROM on the condition that I must complete those un-complete-able surveys. I think that only a ROM made specially for a particular device can be flashed on that device. Is it so?
I am looking for an AOSP ROM (or whatever term used for a ROM that is not [much] different from that provided by Google) for my device but if it is not available, any custom ROM will work. I just want a newer Android version.
Please help!

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
You are right that a ROM has to be tailor-made for that device. With regard to the survey sites, if you get through to the end, all you get is a Google Apps package, that may have viruses loaded in them (I know people that have been down that road before).
Unfortunately, all I see for you device is a stock ROM. That doesn't mean there isn't any AOSP (or newer versions for that matter) projects for your device, but it is highly unlikely.
Sorry.

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.

There is currently no official release of KitKat for your device. I don't know if Samsung will ever release KitKat for your device.
What you can do is try to find a custom KitKat rom for your device. I haven't searched for any, but if there is a custom rom for your device, it's sure to be on XDA.
Flashing a custom ROM means you will lose all Samsung software and S apps like S Planner, S voice..etc. But you might end up loving your phone even more and the stock android experience. Plus, there are a lot of new features that you can find in custom roms.
To get started with custom roms, you will definitely need a custom recovery installed. You should start reading on what this means. A lot of reading. You can easily find information on google, videos on youtube, and lots of sites with instructions.
Flashing roms can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Make sure you read very carefully and flash roms, kernels and recoveries that have been made specifically for your device. Anything else will probably brick your phone.
And always search on XDA, or post a question if you are not sure.
Don't take me for a crazy (lol) but i want to ask that if it is possible to install custom Rom galaxy s5 latest version and the model is SM-G900H on my lg e450 and the android version is 4.1.2, yes it is jelly bean and have been successfully rooted. However, i do not want to flash my mobile unless it is necessary... It is possible to install another custom Rom on my mobile phone,switching from one custom Rom to another? And my mobile is sim unlocked.
I've been trying launchers like Galaxy S but it is not the same effect as having the real operating system or could you help me finding some nice custom roms which are stable and supports my device?
Thank you for reading and you'll get a reward for helping me , but i would rather ask the experts in this field!
this is not possible. if you try it you will hard brick your device. You can only flash roms meant for your exact device. NO exceptions.
Thank you

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.

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
