Ive been digging how the Android OS works and I was thinking why is it that AOSP roms need a different kernel than you would use on a Sense ROM why cant you boot up Sense with a kernel from AOSP if at the end they are both the linux kernel ?
sorry if its a noob question I allready used google and couldnt find any concrete answers thanks in advance to anyone that wants to help me understand this

There is stuff like this around XDA.
If this is your first ROM, I would suggest building Cyanogenmod or AOSP to learn about the Android build tree first. You learn a lot more that way.

Hello guys I'm asking you some information about the kernel, I hope this is the right thread.
I'd like to know if I can use use type of kernel for every kind of phone/CPU or if the kernel is based on a specific phone.
My problem is that I have a tablet (cube talk 9x) but I can't find any kernel for it. So can I flash for example the Franco kernel on it?
Thank you very much guys.
