I'm very new to android development, so pardon any noob like things.
I want to update the version of android of some custom rom, could I do that by cloning aosp of that newer version and then merging the custom rom(old version) with the newer aosp.
If this is not possible is there any method that can be used to upgrade the android version

As the title says:
Is there a vanilla rom for the latest Android version available for the GalTab 10.1?
I do not want custom roms either I want the custom interface from Samsung.
Thanks!
I want to build cm11 for the T-Mobile Sidekick 4g primarily for compatibility with newer apps, but before that I was told that I'd first need to build a kitkat compatible kernel. I have read on how to build kernels, apply patches, tweaks, and modules, but I haven't seen anything about what makes a kernel android version specific. I have an HTC HD2 flashed with Tytung's nexushd2 cm based roms and on his list of roms he has used his same custom kernel on both jelly bean and kitkat roms. So my questions are;
1. is there any other way to make newer apps like hangouts and stock nexus 5 dialer (because of native sip integration) compatible with older versions of android (froyo)?
2. what makes a kernel android version specific?
3. what would I have to do to make a sidekick kernel compatible with cm11?
4. would the cm guide here automatically build a cm11 compatible kernel? http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
5. is there any way to update sidekick 4g stock rom source?
6. if I build using Google AOSP source would the rom that is built be a nexus-like rom?
I have a few questions regarding ROM porting
1)If my phone has android 4.4.2 stock rom and i want to port android 5.1.1 for it...is it possible,beacause i have heard that is not possible to port a lower version to a higher version or viceversa
2)if i have a working CM based rom (version 5.1.1) can i port a 6.0 version of android based from that rom?
It is first time when i try to port roms so i am just curious
Hello,
My problem is, that i can't find any custom roms with android 5.0.0 or higher for my j100fn (j1 lte).
The reason, why i want this is, that the stock rom sucks and there are some apps, which require android 5.0 or later
Just trying to find a custom rom or OS to flash to this device so it can be updated to a newer version of android, it's currently on 4.4.4 and severely limited in what apps it can use.
