[Q] General Questions about ROM´s

---

Hey,
in the last Time I deal with modifying CustomROMs and I want to know what are the prerequisites so that an ROM works?
So, why I cant install a Nexus4 ROM on a SGS3?

I love the new UbuntuOS but I have a MT6577 processor phone, what are the Requirements that I can run the UbuntuOS

I hope this Question is not so stupid

Thanks..

I'm not gonna get into the technical jumbo of why u can't flash Roms from different phones remember a different phone is going to have different hardware inside it and please DO NOT FLASH YOUR PHONE WITH A ROM FOR A DIFFERENT DEVICE you will own a brick just a warning

Each phone has different hardware and so a kernel compiled with the drivers for this hardware, as well as changes to suit the hardware within the ROM (for example screen sizes, different sensors etc)
Android is not like windows/linux you can not simply install one ROM from one device to another

the current system requirements for UbuntuOS are found here:

Thanks for this Answers

is it possible to extract the Kernel and put it into another ROM.

And if my Phone bricked caused by a false ROM, cant I flash the Old ROM or at least flash the Recovery?

Sure you can install Ubuntu Desktop on an ARMV7-based android device.

What is more, Ubuntu for Phone may be released soon. Just wait for a few months.
