what are the diffrences between device-specific ROMs?

[idephili]

Hi,

maybe a stupid question:

But i´d like to know what happens when using a ROM made for "this device" on another one, especially if both have the same display-resolution.

Depends the usage of a ROM on the processor, the phone-buttons, the memory or what else?

If someone could help...:)

Thanks & Greets

For the most part, each device has different hardware and trying to flash a ROM that's intended for another device could turn your phone into a nice looking brick.

I remember reading somewhere that the Wizard and Prophet could use a ROM from one or the other, but I never found any evidence of someone trying it.
