mobile - Android custom ROMs - why so few supported devices? -


looking @ supported devices list of various custom android roms, baffled why there few (examples here: replicant, copperheados). in understanding, roms supported device list should based on particular chipsets/processors (or instruction sets if will). since mobile hardware dominated handful of vendors (eg qualcomm, samsung) , instruction sets should not many either, how come more devices not supported? re-phrase of question can be: how can (eg) qualcomm msm8996 phone on 1 rom's supported devices list, while same chipset absent? missing?

often times not worth developing roms devices can't have bootloader unlocked, because rom can't flashed anyway. instance, verizon variants of phones extremely difficult unlock bootloader on. if there no bootloader unlock available, rom development non existent.
