[HELP] [ROM-PORTING] Could I take any rom as my port rom?
Could I take any ROM as my 'port ROM' or is it supposed to be device specific? Could I take a Ressurection Remix ROM based on mm which was ported to my device by someone else as my base and Lineage OS 14.1 (of any device) as my 'port'?

In general, no. You need a lot of custom stuff in the ROM (i.e. system image) which is specific to your device model. You can't mix and match from ROMs built for different devices.

You could use the ROM made for your device as base but the port ROM to be chosen must have same soc and specification similar to your device.
Also the kernel version must be same for both the roms

[Q] Are Cyanogen devices tree compatible with AOSP ?

Hi all,
I've a question for you guys.
I've a SG3 (i9300), I'd like to know if using the cyanogen device tree for my device (located here) is possible to build AOSP source code.
if yes, then it looks like that would be possible to compile Lollipop AOSP for my device.. am I right ?
Thank you very much.
Cyanogen IS AOSP... Lol. Its AOSP with added features. If that's not an Android 5.0 lollipop kernel source, then it won't boot out of the box. Your best bet would be to get some Android 4.4 kernel source and do ramdisk edits and what not needed to get an Android 5.0 ROM booting. Alternatively, if your device is CM supported, I know they were talking about releasing CM12 soon, you could just hold out to see if your device is supported. Outside of CM, many custom ROMs (AOKP, Pacman, etc.) Take it upon themselves to release ROMs as well. Example: PACman had a 4.4 custom ROM out and in circulation, even before cyanogenmod, so u never know!

Hello, thanks for your answer.
I'd like to know this only for learning purpose, I'm not going to compile the AOSP
What I don't understand, is why adding the device tree to the lollipop AOSP is not sufficient to boot out of the box, can you please explain this in details ? Many thanks.

[Request] AOSP rom 6.0.1

I've seen some aosp based roms with tons of nice features but i've yet to see a pure aosp rom.
so is anyone willing to create a working pure aosp rom? (yes i've seen the aosp thread but critical things dont work)
thanks!:good:
It takes some time to build a rom from the ground up... So if you'll just wait that AOSP rom will work as well as a CM13 rom.
Try the latest Tesla rom, Its aosp based.

Custom ROM

Greetings,
I have several questions about custom ROMs like lineageOS etc.
I have an old and cheap Huawei Y540 and it only runs Android 4.4
So i thought maybe i can install a custom ROM instead of buying a new phone.
1. Why does a custom rom not run on all devices? I thought they are based on linux which handles the hardware <-> software requests?
2. What happens when i install LineageOS or Resurrection Remix on my device? (Note: my device is not supported)
3. I found guides like the one you can find in google when you look for "build lineageos rom for any device" which is named "How to Build Lineageos rom for any android device Easily ! {Full guide}" (Sorry i'm not allowed to post links) to build the lineageOs for my device. Do you know if any/many bugs will occure if i try that for my device?
Regards, Vincent
