Boot.img is the kernel. However our recoveries like CWM are embedded in the kernel (correct me if I am wrong) so we cannot flash boot.img through recovery. However, most other phones have their recoveries on a specialized /recovery partition hence they can flash kernel through their recovery.
Just a guess, not sure if it is correct.

Roms can be ported because they are in System.img. making a ROM.from another device work, needs work on libs etc.
Porting a Kernel is a Lot harder due to the functions a kernel have and need.

Need your help
You have to make it work with the kernel. It doesn't just automatically work.

nAa ICS is the best, it has all the needed kernel libs

Saves internal space, allows easier modifications (e.g. theming), at the cost of a slight performance hit since odex files are deleted.
That would be a ROM that's just deodexed. Most deodexed ROMs include performance tweaks as well that make up for the above.

Hey guys, i came from a HTC incredible S
it had AOSP roms as well and you just flashed the zip and it booted.
however here on the xperia z forums, i am reading that you need to flash the boot.img manually for AOSP roms
is there a reason for this? thanks
I think because the recovery is not working 100%

Yes because Sony's phone doesn't have a special partition for recovery that's why it's integrated with the kernel.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Boot.img is the kernel, you can only write to the boot partition in fast boot mode for Sony devices. Regardless of model, its the same for x10, arc, P, S, Z, etc
