There's official ROMs/Images for Android (namely for Nexus) at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images..
Can I install one of those ROMs above to my Redmi 3 (for example)..?
I currently running on Xiaomi.eu Unofficial ROM v6.6.30.. In Android version section, there's written "5.1.1 LMY47V", what is that mean..? I also found some Nexus devices in link above with same version and code, is that mean I can use those ROMs to my device..?
If it's possible to use those official Android ROM to any devices rather than Nexus itself, what's to consider..? Like chipset, GPU, network, etc.. And what's the method to determine which ROM version compatible with device target..?
No. Each rom is built for the device. If you flash a rom not made for your device you will brick it

Thanks for the answer.. I just really curious about it..
I've been looking at Galaxy Grand Prime Android Development forums and there's only threads about G531H and G530H for example these phone's are old, stop ignoring newer phones! they need modifying too. For Users That Have Other Model
Wait until someone make custom kernel/roms for you or don't wait and make kernel or edit rom to support your model.
Developers, please make kernels and roms (for example Cyanogenmod) G531F have Pre-rooted firmware, TWRP,Xposed Framework (unofficial). G531F Need same things like G531H . It's bad to know you will not make kernel/rom for that model
Please Read all Request Threads. Help Users and Make Custom Kernel and roms for it i requested (custom kernel g531f)
Is My Thread Again Participated?
Nobody cares. Wrong section.
EDIT: Thread moved

Most of these devs only have G530H/G531H (international phone model) the most common model, if you wanna them to create ROMs/kernels for your model, give them a phone with the same model
We all know that we need the source code to build a working ROM (like CyanogenMod).
So, please, keep pushing Marvell to release it, because ROM development for this mobile can't go forward as it is now.

Hi!
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime 4g SM-531F and I wanted to install a custom ROM on it.
But source code is missing for Marvell PXA1908 chipset and no one can build a working ROM.
Can you release source code for your chipset, so developers can improve our device?
Thanks in advance
(your name)
OR

Dear Marvell,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Galaxy Grand Prime 4g SM-G531F and I'm happy with it, but I will be more if developers are able to build custom ROMs for this device.
They really need Sources for your Marvell PXA1908 chipset, because without them they can't go forward.
Please, release them, and they will make this device go fast as double as it is now.
Regards,
A Marvell-powered device user
Thanks In Advance to All:good::good:
Would be great if they would share it!
Hi,
This is my first post on XDA, so please let me know if I violated any rules of this forum.
I have observed that there is a dearth of custom ROMs for Samsung devices with Exynos chipsets in general. Since the manufacturer doesn't provide much support/update after ~2 years, i think it there should be a way to increase the life of the device.
As an example, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (SM N920G) running Android Nougat and i couldn't find any ROM with Android Oreo supporting this device.
I have no knowledge of Android ROM development, so please forgive me if my questions are stupid or too basic.
1. How difficult is it to create a custom ROM in general and does Samsung make it difficult for developers by not releasing the kernel sources?
2. If the devices share a common chipset, how difficult is it to port the custom ROM to make it work for another device? Ex: If there is a custom ROM working for Samsung Galaxy S6, how much work does it require to make it work for Galaxy Note 5 as well?
I was desperate to try Android Oreo on my device and i have some time to burn this weekend. So i was wondering if i could try and create a custom ROM for myself.
I've also searched XDA and found some guides which were written for Marshmallow/Nougat. I am not sure if the same methods can work for Android Oreo as well.
I am looking for any inputs/suggestions and any sources you could point me to in my attempt to learn.
I have an idea to port Android 9.0 Pie to the Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime. This will most likely be able to be ported to all models of this device.
The idea is that we can port a rom from the Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017), since the specs of the device are *exactly* the same. (If you want to find out for yourself, click this link for the specs of the J5 Prime: https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_j5_prime-8342.php#g570y , and click this link for the J3 (2017): https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_j3_(2017)-8438.php )
The specs are exactly the same (at least on paper), so theoretically speaking, we should be able to port this device's new update, which is Android 9.0 Pie, with Samsung's One UI. First, we should try dirty flashing a rom (Using Odin, since all custom roms are just oreo roms, and most require a stock rom installed already), and see if it at least boots up. If not, we customize software, and try to help it become compatible with the hardware inside of the Galaxy J5 Prime.
Now, here are the problems we will be facing. First, the device tree might be slightly different, which could hinder the process of porting this rom. Second, modifying the stock software is really difficult, especially if you don"t have any experience in porting roms. Third, not all apps are going to be compatible, like the Camera app, unless modified with the data from the oreo Camera app we have in our roms now. And fourth, Wifi and Bluetooth may not work in the first few builds, but could be fixed with using the oreo Wifi and Bluetooth APKs and libs.
So, now that we have gotten all that info out of the way, which developers would like to help? I can do it myself, but I have never ported a rom before, but have done a good amount of research on it. I DO have a test device, which is my trusty old Galaxy J5 Prime (M model). But I would still appreciate some professional help. Anyone can pitch in, but you need some experience or some knowledge on porting roms. And that includes you, tutibreaker! You made so many good roms, and I think you can really help the community on this one!

I understand that tutibreaker is already working on a port. However, I'm sorry to be pessimistic, but I don't think it's going to be possible; mainly because Samsung still does not release the source code of some kernel M. Anyway you can enter to his Telegram group and try to speak directly with him.
* I am dev, but I am not interested in Android Pie. I prefer to stay in Oreo with root and my mods.
PD: Galaxy J2 Core (J260); J3 2017 (J330); J4 (J400); Xcover 4 (G390). Everyone has the same processor. I was investigating a little. Only for curiosity.

Thanks for replying, LUCiON3! I understand that getting the source code is impossible, but we can still try. I mean, it's been done many times before. And most of those ports are mostly bugless, and work flawlessly. So if those ports can work, I bet that this port will work flawlessly, when put in front of the right person. And I also consider joining tutibreaker's Telegram group, and try to speak with him directly, of course without asking the ETA of the rom. Also say thanks to tutibreaker from me. (Or I can do it myself lol):good:
Edit: I did know that the Xcover and the J2 had the same SoCs, but did not know about the J4 having the same one too. The things you learn everyday!

Porting Pie to J5 Prime is already done and doesn't any kernel modification
To boot on M so it should for all model ...
The port has just some bug reason why it is not shared yet
