Can You Port To Any Device? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
This is just a quick question, that I searched but couldn't find a reasonable answer too.
I have an older LG Optimus One P500 android phone, that I would like to do some customization's too.
I noticed there are some ports already available for this phone, but not any that I actually liked.
Is it possible for me or anyone to port any phone they choose to there local phone?
For instance, wouldn't I be able to grab let's say a Galaxy S3 rom and port it to work with my LG P500?
How exactly does porting work, and can someone link me to a tutorial on how to at least edit or customize a already working rom?

Depends on the phone limitations. Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908008
This should be in q&a, though

My gratitude to you my good sir, thanks for the help/link.

[Q] Is the new LG OPTIMUS LIFE same hardware as p500(and can be rooted and same way)?

Hi all! I post this question here because it's related to OPTIMUS family.
I am quite new to this forum and I'd like to thanks for all the helpful infos and files I could find here for my androdevices.
I am planning to buy a phone for my gf and I saw the new LG OPTIMUS LIFE (dunno if this is the name in all the countries, maybe p350?but I am not sure)
here is a link to its specs:
(3 dablius).lg.com/it/mobile/mobile-phones/LG-smartphone-android-LG-Optimus-Life.jsp
It seems to be a smaller brother of OPTIMUS ONE (p500) with half RAM and resolution for a small case and less money.
I see that this phone hasn't a official supported section in xda forum and actually I can't find any info about rooting/modding it on google.
I was wondering if some developer is planning to support it, I would be sure to buy it if I know I could root and improve it but if not maybe I can cange my mind.
My phone is an old htc sapphire 32A, and if I go on using it, its just because of the great job people is doing here, trasforming a very old device like mine in a up-to-date performing and useful smartphone. So I will try to stick to models that can benefit this.
I also think that this model could be very similar to OPTIMUS ONE p500 and maybe there is some chance that the existing p500 roms will work on OPTIMUS LIFE too...
But this is noobish talkin...
Thank you for any answer!
custom ROMs will not work .. however, it might be possible to root it using Super One Click Root ...
Thanks for repling... I will try to ask Super One Click dev for some detail about rooting it.
can you please tell me if you did it? A friend has one and I will like to know. Thanks

Asking help to understand how to port a Rom from a Device to Another

Hello everyone,
I have the G1 since he is out, and now the Huawei X5 since I don't have a lot of money to buy an expensive and good phone like the S2 or the Nexus S.
One thing that always interested me a lot was the Custom Rom for all kind, available to the G1 and now the Huawei X5.... But one thing is missing, I've been trying to make my own custom rom, porting from one device to another but I don't really know how to do that :S...
I know that the Huawei X5 and the HTC Desire Z are very similar phones (same CPU, GPU, RAM and Screen Size). Some roms that have been ported to the Huawei almost all are based in HTC Desire / Z roms.
I've been trying to port myself a HTC Sense Ui rom to that phone, but I really don't know how to start :S... I don't mind of having a lot of bugs to correct, I don't mind of having a lot of scripting and hard programming in Java or C to do that, I love programming in all kind of languages, and I have created a few apps for Android, but only one reached the Market since the others are just testes (like games), so I really don't mind to have an hard work. As I like to say, learn is always I good thing, more if it is something that we like.
So I'm asking, for someone who knows how to do it to help me. I don't need someone to do the work for me, and I don't need an extensive tutorial with pictures. I just need, if possible, a simple example, and the necessary tools, the rest I will try to search myself.
Thank in Advance for all of you that take their time to answer me.
And I'm really sorry for my Horrible English :S...

[Q] Porting Cyanogen

Hello, i hope this Question is in the right category/place, if not, Feel Free To Throw Candies~ :3
So, i have a Samsung Galaxy Fit S5670 Don't Kill Me QAQ7 and from what i saw, It is really similar to the galaxy mini S5770, we even got a Cyanogen port for mini working on galaxy fit, only things that aren't working are the Camera amongst other minor stuff.
My Question is, How do one port roms? and if possible, how to fix the bugs in the rom we already have, note that the two phones are really similar and the port was tested by quite a few people.
Any push in the right direction would help, thank you so much in advance~<3
p.s. i searched everywhere for pertinent info, couldn't find any, was really hesitant to ask ouo

[HELP]Ports Ice cream Sandwich apps

Hi guys!
I have a question, I make roms for the LG Optimus 3D device, and let me know if you could carry aPKs ICS to Gingerbread, or is so hard it's not worth it.
Since I have searched and searched and nothing, so if anyone has done it I would like to guide me.
Thank you very much
P.D: If anyone is encouraged to port it too, here I leave:

OK well you wont be able to do a direct port, what it will require is using the Android compatibility libraries to replace the new API functionality (which GB doesn't have) The other option is to port the system.apk over (but i have no idea how one would do that)
This should all be pretty obvious to and Android developer though....
Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.

[Q] ROMS or MODS For LG L20 D105f?

Does anyone know where can i find ROMS or MODS for my LG L20 D105f?
Does anyone know if the Android 5.0 Lollipop ROM for LG L20 works well with D105f? (I Don't think it so)
I would be grateful if someone could help me. Searched a lot on the internet but I think that anything related to this smartphone is very rare to find. If I knew it would be so hard, I would not even bought it.
Cheers!
