Crossing devices?

I'm interested to find out if it is possible to run a rom from another device on my Conquer 4G. I've looked at the specs on it, and they are nearly identical to that of the Galaxy S. Anyone know if that would be possible, or would I be better off just dropping my phone in the pool and bricking it that way?

"Nearly" isn't always good enough. It may work, but some features may cause it to freeze, or crash. Unless the components are virtually identical and even then, there may be issues relating to the product id's that are supported on one device but not the other. Someone here with specific knowledge of the devices in question may find this post and give more useful info.

The ROM could be ported over to your device fairly easily.

Any guides or information on how I might go about doing this? I'm totally a noob at doing roms, and I would really like to learn. There really aren't many roms for my phone (Conquer 4G), so I'd love to be able to adapt some of the roms from other devices for use with my phone.

Choosing which ROM to port is part of the same problem I'm having with my Zenithink tablet. As for info on porting, there's no shortage of that on xda, but I haven't had much luck with the search engine here. Best to Google the site.
ie; Google search, "porting rom site:forum.xda-developers.com"
without the double quotations marks.
I'd dig through my links to help out, but I haven't enough brownie points yet to post links on here.

I found one link here on the site, but I got confused on it rather quickly. I'm going to have to read it and make sure to ask questions where applicable because there are alot of really nice roms out there for other phones (The Galaxy S for instance) that I would love to try with my phone.

ROM with most knobs

Which ROM for Nexus 5 has most settings and customization features?
I know this used to be AOKP, but their Kitkat release does not seem there yet (a lot less options than before).

Stock plus xposed framework
Sent from my Nexus 5

I don't think so. While GravityBox is great, it has less options than custom ROMs. And anything else added would mostly interfere with it.

Read the features list in the ROM threads and find out

This may or may not end up getting closed up as this is flirting with being a "Best ROM" thread. My recommendation would be to take some time reading the features listed in the OP's of the ROM threads and then flash a few to see which one suits you best.

I'm not trying to find "Best ROM", I realize no such thing exist. I was just wondering if somebody has already figured that one out.
Thanks for answers anyway.

As a senior member you should know these threads are not allowed. If you want to find a ROM that fits your needs, check the development section and read the OPs.
That said, inb4lock.

actually, the rom with the most features, everything thrown in, is usually one of the worst roms, not best. so the op should be safe with this thread. more crap thrown in = more bugs.

Please perform your own research and spend time reading about the software that you are about to drastically alter your expensive device with.

Any suggestion?

Hi everyone..
Let me tell who I am not able to speak english very well ( Stupid Italian school)..
So ..
I would ask you if there is any cool Rom that is possible to have a better benchmark score and much battery's life than Stock ROM..
I have Rom Stock with Franco Kernel..
So i have many questions..
first: Do you suggest me any Custom ROM?
Second: Do you suggest me any better kernel as fast as possible?
Third: It's better Dalvik or Art?
Oh,i'm so sorry for my language,but..i hope who you are able to undestand me.. sorry
Thanks for all!
Have a nice day!

right above your thread is this wonderful thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/best-rom-kernel-threads-t2477889
anyways, since these threads arent allowed on xda, i suggest that you read up and try some roms/kernels. theres no best, only what fits you and your phone best. and only you would be able to figure out which it is. we all have differing needs and wants, and out phones all react differently to these roms/kernels, so spend some time trying them out yourself.

its ok, we all were noobs once

As simms said above, we don't allow these types of threads here. Try a few ROM's and kernels out. There are many great things happening in the development section.

[Q] [Need Advice] Best Daily Driver Rom for GS3?

Okay, deferring to the wisdom of the elders on this question. I've been all over the place with ROMs, TW and AOSP, but I'm heading to college in a few weeks and I'm looking to "settle down" with a ROM and ride it out until my upgrade in November. Is there a clear winner out there right now in terms of stability/battery life that still has some cool features? I'm very minimalistic and I don't need to be able to customize every single facet of the UI, but rooted stock is a bit too dull for me! I'm on CleanRom 8.2 atm and it's good but not great, I'm really looking for the ultimate daily driver ROM and kernel, please advise a lowly serf such as myself.

I don't believe the rules of XDA allow a "what is the best ROM" thread, so you may not get a simple answer (and to be honest, people have different priorities in what they want or need from a ROM, so what may be best for them may not be best for you).
That said, perhaps the best approach would be to look through the Android Development and Original Android Development topics and look at both the early posts (the OP, plus a page or two after), and the last page or two to get an sense of the install, the features, and the level of support you might get with each ROM. You will also be able to eliminate ROM's that are no longer supported (eg, I believe Scott is no longer supporting CR, so even though it was/is a great ROM, perhaps not the best to consider).
Also google the ROMs to see if there are any YouTubes showing the install and use of the ROM. There are many good reviews of ROMs and seeing them in action is a big help.
Last, a number of ROMs are being discussed on Google+ so you may want to check out that resource too.
And, it may also be a good idea to actually try the ROMs on your phone. ROMs can act differently on your phone than they might on mine.
Hope this helps!!

My recommendation is read all the rom threads as much a you can and experiment by trying them out. "Best of" rom threads are frowned upon because it generally discourages people to read and learn. I am going to close this and trust you will be able to find what you are looking for with some diligence and have fun trying. Thats what makes this site great!:good:

i9505 5.1 ROMs comparison

So, it seems that there are several i9505 5.1 ROMs and it is not an easy job to try each one to decide which one to go with. We may agree that there is no "best one", but I think we can make a good reference containing reviews that compares two or more ROMs in terms of some measures - smoothness/lag, stability, force closes, random reboots, battery life, functionality, customizability... etc.
If you agree with me that this will be useful, please help building this reference by posting in this thread
Please keep this thread clean and focused on its purpose as much as possible.
Cheers.

For stability - [JDCTeam][5.1.1] Optimized CyanogenMod 12.1 builds
For smoothness without lag - Resorruction Remix rom

1st. wrong place
2nd. wrong topic
3rd. try each rom out yourself and make conclusion

what place do you suggest?
and no, trying each ROM is not the best way for everyone.

General.
Comparison threads usually don't seem to work too well because everyone has different needs which results in different experiences. Also no two devices are the same which means kernels perform differently, etc.

I agree, but it is still useful to have all the opinions in one place, maybe some ROMs stand out from the others.

Reading each ROM thread gives perfect feedback about the quality of that ROM
No need for this thread at all

I actually value this thread. I agree that it should go to general section but the information that is provided on this thread is very useful though!

I see you are a new member. There is a reason there are no comparison threads. There is no point in doing that.
1. Every 5.1 rom is based on Cyanogenmod. So each one contains the same major bugs.
2. User have never tried all of them. They will say this rom is the best because it's the only one they tried.
Some roms have more/different features then other roms. But you cannot compare them the way you want to because every rom is based on the standard Cyanogemod. There is to my knowledge only one rom that uses his own kernel. The rest uses standard CM kernel.

I tried two ROMs and the difference is HUGE. I read the threads of each but they were not of much usefulness. However, there were some opinions that compared different ROMs and I found them very useful. That's why I think these types of reviews should be gathered in one thread.

ROMs threads are full of opinions and questions of different topics and side talks, useful reviews are scattered along hundreds of pages. Putting these reviews in one place is not a bad idea, I think.

ROM opinion threads. Hate them. They are the plague!
XDA used to have a policy where threads whose only purpose was to determine "which ROM is best" were forbidden. They should restore that policy, because all the information necessary to make an informed decision can be found within the ROM threads themselves. On top of that, the only way to really know which ROM is best is to try them. For example, I've tried AICP, Team UB, and JDCTeam Optimized CM12.1. All of them are based on CM12.1, and all of them work fairly well. I didn't like AICP however because of an aesthetics issue, stopped using TeamUB because the latest versions of APKTool couldn't decompile its framework*, and went to Optimized CM12.1 in response.
As Lennyz1988 notes, all that people are going to tell you is about the one ROM they use, and not elaborate on the pros and cons of the various ROMs. Therefore, ROM opinion threads in general are a sign of laziness. Rather than taking the time and doing the research yourself, you'd rather have other people do it for you.
------------------------------------------------------------------
*No issues in decompiling the latest Optimized CM12.1 framework, meaning TeamUB deliberately made it so the framework could not be modified.
