Hi everyone, I've a technical question that a few devs from specific forums are unable to answer thus I'm hoping for more insight here.
The Xperia M2, T2U, and C3 share the same hardware (SnapDragon 400). As far as I know, framework files and recovery works without a hitch on all of them.
My question is would a kernel for one device work on each of them as well? I know that a custom ROM will definitely brick the device if it uses the wrong device tree so I'm wondering if the kernel follows suit as well.

Good Day Co-user of XPERIA L.!
This site caught my attention and also curious on what my device is capable of.. I have many questions,,hehe
First is can i direct flash different custom roms? or should I update my firmware first before doing so?
Second what is the best roms or firmware out there that i can try?
Third is our phone capable of linking ps3 controller?? I'm curious about that..hehe
I hope someone can answer my question... It would be helpful..!thanks in adnvance.!
Hi developers, I have this Sony phone and there is no custom ROM for this device yet and I would like to create one for my own use and possibly made it available for others if I am successful. I am so tired of the bloated software which I can't get rid of that I don't care about bricking this phone anymore.
Some years ago I used to fix computers, printers and networks for banks. I'm new in Android systems but not in computer systems. I did Install OS's like linux flavors or updated printer firmwares in my days so this is not new for me, I just want a little of a guidance to start.
I know how to root my Android system using the app called TOWEL ROOT (the only that has worked in this phone).
The next step that haven't done yet is unlocking the BOOTLOADER, which I don't find difficult to do according to what I have read so far.
My concern is: there is no custom ROM to install after the BOOTLOADER is unlocked, so if I want one I would have to build one. I've watched a tutorial on youtube and I've read the cyanogenmod wiki, but the amount of information is so huge that I got lost and frustrated and that's the help I ask. Could any of you tell me the information I need to read to understand how I could port a custom ROM to my device?
If more information is necessary I'll be glad to provide.
Nobody has made a custom rom for e1.make if you like.

I'm no expert here, but maybe you could try this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
Your phone is fairly new and I'm pretty sure kernel sources are on Sony's website, so maybe one of you guys could give it a shot. I would, but I don't have an E1.
I have a HTC desire 210 dual phone, with the help of another thread i was able to root and install cwm but i am unable to find any compatible custom roms. What do i do? should i create my own roms? if so then how? I have a rooted device i dont know what all i can do when its not compatible with cynogen or miui.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist The reason for lack of development for this device is its Processor . No Developer is interested in MTK based Devices because of their limited sources and lot of mess in it .. Hence Development for those devices is really very very less .. these SOC are prone to lot of issues hence do not try anything without having knowledge over it else your will brick your device
ok
i downloaded xposed framework and im customising that way. i guess my next phone would be an andriod
Thread Closed.
I'm pretty new at all this buy the basics of installing already made roms I get my question is when attempting to create new custom roms what information about the device say (cpu, gpu, modem, kernal, etc) need to match up to attempt using or moding those said parts of the dev process in order to build a working tree. Continued below Sidenote........
Sidenote : idk if the terms I used were correct in there placement or meaning but I feel that any who will reply to this thread probably grasp what I'm getting at.
So essentially what I'm attempting to do is figure out what things to change and how to change them in order to figure out what goes into building a rom or the favorable option that I'm shooting for is what to look for to attempt to match up a already built custom rom from another device I need little to no changes in order to use on my device's, reason being, both devices I am currently woking on, which are a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime sm-g360t and a HTC Desire 626s, do not have a official or even, to my knowledge, have an official CM and honestly besides one,the HTC which I have TWRP and it's running now off the AdvancedStock rom I found on this site and it keeps wanting to break or just doesn't work the way I want .
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

Good luck!
Hi! I have found a device that has almost the same specs of my device, and it has a device tree already made. I have gone ahead and replaced those files with the one from my device, and I have done the same thing with the vendor files. I am planning to use these to compile CyanogenMod for my device, but incase I did something wrong, and I flash it, what's the worst thing that could happen? It's not like it's from a completely different device, as the only differences are the camera, and one more core on the GPU, and I believe that's it. The 2 devices are the Energy X 2 and the Infinix Hot 2.
Thanks a lot!
