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
A few hours ago, Samsung announced that it would soon release the One UI 3.1 update to its older smartphones, including the Galaxy Note 20 series, Galaxy Note 10 series, Galaxy S20 series, Galaxy Z series, and several Galaxy A series devices. Earlier today, it started rolling out the update to the Galaxy S20 series, and now it’s time for the update to reach the Galaxy Note 20.
The South Korean smartphone giant has just started releasing the One UI 3.1 update to the Galaxy Note 20 and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. The new software update is rolling out to the smartphones in Germany and Russia right now, but we expect the rollout to happen in more markets gradually. The new update carries firmware version N98xxU1DUB5 or N98xxU1DUB6, depending on the region.
The One UI 3.1 update brings new features to the Galaxy Note 20 series, including Private Share, improved Single Take, object eraser tool, the ability to remove location data from images while sharing them. It also brings minor UI changes to the phones, but features like Director’s View or Google Discover Feed are missing.
If the update hasn’t reached your Galaxy Note 20 or Galaxy Note 20 Ultra yet, you can check for the software update manually by navigating to Settings » Software update menu and then tapping on Download and install on your device. Alternatively, you can also download the entire firmware from our firmware section and flash it manually.
Already running it rooted on my US U1 note 20. Absolutely love it
Samsung launched the Galaxy S21 series earlier this year with impressive camera features. Now, the company is rolling out some of those camera-related features to its older high-end smartphones, including the Galaxy S20 series and the Galaxy Note 20 series, via a new software update.
With the new update, which is rolling out in Germany right now, the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, Galaxy S20 Ultra, Galaxy Note 20, and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra have received new camera features. Users can now capture portrait images in low-light conditions, something that was earlier possible only with the Galaxy S21 series. The Night Mode also works with the ultrawide camera.
The company has also added three new effects in the Portrait mode: backdrop, high-key mono, and low-key mono. These studio-like effects let you change the background color to black, white, or a random color that is chosen by the camera app. In Night mode, users can now let the camera choose the exposure or use the maximum possible exposure. Moreover, the ultrawide camera can now be used in the camera’s Pro mode.
For those who were hopeful of getting the Galaxy S21’s Director View on their Galaxy S20 or Galaxy Note 20 series phone, there is some bad news. None of those phones have received the Director’s View feature, most probably because of limitations in the processor’s ISP (image signal processor).
The new software update has firmware version G98xxXXU7DUC7 for the Galaxy S20 series and N98xxXXU1DUC8 for the Galaxy Note 20 series. If you are in Germany, you can check for the update on your Galaxy S20 or Galaxy Note 20 series device by navigating to Settings » Software update and tapping on Download and install. The update could roll out to more markets over the next few weeks.
Thanks for sharing

They should really change a lot.
Using gcam you realize that this phone has a very good hardware base, and stock camera processing is quite bad, despite having access to the full hardware.

They already changing a lot. Do not forget how feature packed s23 ultra is. It's not just camera. Have some patience. It's already decent but it will improve more for sure. It's the same with all new flagships.
Already a thread on this.
