To put blunty, that's impossible.
That's a stock firmware for Galaxy Note, which isn't only a completely different hardware, but it's also close sourced, so trying to port it would be something akin to rewriting half (more or less) of Android, the only way to get that is to buy a Galaxy Note

Is there any chance Galaxy Note II Multi-Window to be ported to other phones like Sony xperia, lg optimus, etc. Is there any posibility to be ported for amrv6 (impossible??).
I think its possible cuz in the end its just a apk... but:
-not all phones have the screen size of the galaxy note
-not all phones have as much ram and cpu and gpu as the galaxy note II
in the end its not that usefull either on the note cuz its not the same thing as on a pc.. on a phone, multitasking like switching apps is enough..
This is only my idea... if someone is working on it or things like that well.. good luck and happy development..
So I learned to flash ROM's/recovery/root on Samsung Galaxy phones.
You know, ODIN, modems, firmwares, etc.
I've only had Samsung Galaxy since then (see my sig).
So what "gotchas" should I be aware of now that I've bought a Sony Xperia tablet and want to get into custom ROM's and maybe even give the CM12 a try (hate lollipop so that may not happen).
Got the LTE tab compact to use in my car as a car stereo if that matters.
My last and my current smartphones were nexus devices. Since google revealed the pixel I thought about other smartphones. But I don't like update speed from non-google companies.
How difficult would it be to convert the current Stock Android (for example android 7) to the Huawei P9, OnePlus 3 or the Samsung Galaxy S7 or any other top device.
And how much time would you need to support also the curved Display from the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge or to support the notification button from the OnePlus 3 and the fast charging.
To myself: I would say that I am quite good at Java but not in a professional way.It is just a hobby.
In general: If I buy the latest smartphone of a company like Huawei, Samsung, OnePlus or LG would it be possible to convert the current Android version to my device? How much time would I need for that if I only want the Stock Android functions and the fingerprint sensor (Cyanogen features are not needed) and how long would I need if I also want to support the device specific features like a pen or a curved display?
How dangerous would that be? Breaking my device would be pretty easy right?
If that is possible how do I convert the Stock android to my device?
Thanks a lot

short answer: very difficult. Huawei uses custom SoC from HiSilicon, and the specs for these chips is not published. similarly for Samsung devices using Exynos chips. Samsung phones running Qualcomm have a better chance.
if you want to learn to build AOSP (or something like CM), start with the AOSP documentation, then the CM wiki. Or go to the device forums here and check if someone has already started progress. for Huawei and Samsung (exynos), it's a long journey.
it goes well beyond knowing Java.
relatively speaking, modern devices are tough to permanently brick as long as you don't touch the bootloaders.
Thanks for the answer
good, recently changed a Samsung note 9 for a Sony xz2 premium, my question is whether there is something similar to Linux on dex Samsung for Sony? it's possible? Has it managed to make it work on more Android phones?
Hello,
I'm a fairly novice phone user that is currently using the Samsung Galaxy J8 and I'm looking to upgrade, I love the Pixel software and camera but I prefer the design of other phones and their hardware.
I'm currently looking at the Redmi K20 (not pro) and Samsung Galaxy A70 as my main options with the Google Pixel 3 and 3a as my 'last resort' for lack of better words.
I was wondering if the process of downloading and installing Lineage OS differs between devices and, since it wipes data, if it is safer (or even possible, like I said, I'm not very knowledgeable about phones) to get Lineage OS on the phone before I put my sim card in.
I will also be putting on the Google Camera APK and I believe I've seen a video where the OnePlus 7 Pro was using a GCam not specifically made for it which led me to wonder how you are supposed to know which GCam is best for you, of course I will download the one specifically made for my phone but do I go through every other option until I find the best one too?
If I do put on Lineage OS which apps stay and which get removed/added? Will it affect the stock camera app?
Also, is it possible to get Google's 'Now Playing' feature on any Android phone?
Sorry if I have broken any rules or done something wrong, I'm new to this site but would like to be on here more often, thanks in advance.
