Can porting roms using this guide work for porting roms from one phone to a completely different phone? Probably not but doesn't hurt to ask.
this is a universal porting guide, should work on all Android devices... if that's what you're asking lol

HTC phones typically with HTC. Samsung with Samsung, an so on. Yes you can do cross platform, but that'll take a lot of extra work.

If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

Is it possible to port an HTC custom rom to an MTK processor dual sim brand like alcatel? Both share the same ARM cpu and both MDPI screen? Thanks a lot! The custom rom to be ported uses a kernel while theres no kernel available for the base aosp of alcatel

no wanted to port cyanogen7. Wow so you say its not that complicated? Thats a good news!!! Do i need a kitchen for that or copying and pasting files from the port to the base will do the trick?

Shouldn't need to,I don't see why you would
I figured it out. I was talking about the ril files under system/vendor/lib. I also had to change the build prop to point to the path of the new ril file. Now if I could figure out why Mms is broke I'd be set.

I'm glad it worked for you, anything you think I should edit?
Well since you're making an ics guide later, then there's nothing that needs to be changed for this one. Its fine. Its pretty straight forward once everything is set up :)

This one works just as well for ics aosp. There are a couple of other smaller things he left out but those things may vary from rom to rom. I think its good that the guide gives you just enough info, so you have to actually go through the learning process and ask around a bit.
