I am new to android and was wondering can we use another android phones rom on a another phone? Like can we use Galaxy Mini Cyanogenmod on Xperia Mini? And Can we do this by changing the firmware or kernel version?

u cant use a rom
but there is something called porting
u cant even flash kernel because drivers are different
but there are some things u can use like stock apps that too if its same version :)

Dude you asked the same question thrice, just differently worded. For god's sake. :eek:

Read up on porting ROMs if you want to know how a ROM for one device is made to work on another. It usually requires a device specific kernel that's made to be compatible with the other device's ROM, and then there's resizing work to be done for all the apps if the other device's screen is of a larger resolution.

Judging by your questions, it's obvious you don't have any developer knowledge, and porting requires quite a bit of it. So, for the last time, NO you can't do whatever you're asking.

same specs device

hi,
i have a similar question but for an identical hardware phones.
my device is with mt6577 cpu (neo n002), and running ICS i searched for a JB rom but didn't find one.
there are other devices with that chipset even same ram (size), screen resolution, maybe same camera, so i wonder if i can port
the JB rom to my device or even install the rom as it is?
if so, can i keep specific drivers from the ICS version, in case i get a problem with gps/camera/mic.....?

thanx.

No you can only use a rom from the same device, ex one S3 to another S3. YOU CANNOT use one rom like the question your asking for another device. Different specs....

Then how to port a custom recovery ? I have oppo R3007 also known as mirror 3 that made me crazy with the super lag colorOS. No support/develop on this phone. Then i wanted to know how to make a custom recovery and also makes a aosp for this phone. I just wont to brick my phone. Cause the flashtool is unavailable for users only for the oppo it self. Thanks (sorry for bad english)

    As stated above only do this if you need a brick. Only flash things ment for your device.
