[Q] Porting S2 roms to Note

I have a question whether it is easy (by easy; I mean just copy and pasting files) to port a Galaxy S2 rom to a Galaxy Note. Since the devices internally really seem to be alike (for example the same soc (only different clock)). So does anyone have any experience with "porting" a Galaxy S2 rom to the Galaxy Note? Or any other kind of experience in this region, please commend?

[Q] Can Samsung GT-i8190N S3-Mini Support Samsung Gear?

Hi there, I would like to ask if Samsung S3 mini is compatible with Samsung Gear. According to the official website for the Samsung Gea, it only supports up to 17 devices as listed below:
1. Samsung Galaxy S5
2. Galaxy Grand 2
3. Galaxy Note 3
4. Galaxy Note 3 Neo
5. Galaxy Note 2
6. Galaxy S4
7. Galaxy S3
8. Galaxy S4 Zoom
9. Galaxy S4 Active
10. Galaxy S4 mini
11. Galaxy Mega 6.3
12. Galaxy Mega 5.8
13. Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)
14. Galaxy NotePRO (12.2)
15. Galaxy TabPRO (12.2/ 10.1 /8.4).
The question is, does it really limited to all these devices? and it is not depends on the Android version of the running device?
My phone, i8190 N-variant, is currently rooted, running on Cyanogen 11 Android version 4.4.4.
Can I do anything about it? I need to get a smartwatch that is able to use along and be programmed with my phone. I need it for my project purpose, to write an application that make use of a smartwatch as input data.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

short answer is no
currently it is not supported by default
however
with a CM ROM and some other useful tricks found in the right sections of XDA with a bit of searching you could get the samsung galaxy gear working with your S3mini

why so few Custom ROMs for S5mini in comparison to older Samsung phones?

Hello All,
is there any technical reason(s), why there are so few Custom ROMs for the S5 Mini, in comparison to older Samsung Galaxy smartphone models?
I see for example there's (unofficial) LineageOS 16 (Android P) for S4 mini, but not for S5 mini.
Thanks in advance for any reply.

I think you're failing to look in the right places.

The only thing that I failed in my post was to have forgotten the 16 for the LineageOS version available for S4 mini, but not for S5 mini. Of course I know the "Android development" forum for S5 mini.

I think it all depends on the available time for developers. New devices imply new efforts and learning curves, besides having the phone for dev/testing the ROM.

In my opinion, there isn't any "best" ROM! All are products of hard and free work of developers offering different capabilities. And the assessment "best" depends on personal preferences and usage.
For the i9305 (we currently own two but don't own a i9300) the daily driver is still and will be RR by @rodman01: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-resurrection-remix-4-4-2-kitkat-v5-t2704828

[Q] Can you port Galaxy Note 3 Rom, all features and all icons to Galaxy Note N7000?

Hi, I can't find a rom for the galaxy note n7000 that looks and feels completely like the Galaxy Note 3 so I would be (happy) if you could port galaxy note 3 apps and features into an android 4.3 custom rom based on CM10.2 for the Galaxy Note N7000 including Galaxy Note 3 TouchWiz. And yes I know it's 2020 and the Galaxy S20 series are out now, but I feel like a throwback to 2013 would be fun, so can you do this please? Also the theme that can be in this custom rom can be the newest Galaxy S4 theme with icons from android 4.3. And the last thing that I have to say is, please include s voice.

This post made my day. Good luck for your request...
