    It’s not about capability, it’s about hardware support. If the manufacture of the chip isn’t providing updates its difficult to impossible to provide OS updates.

    You should look into the reasons why android OS upgrades are so difficult to come by. It’s more complex than you realize.

      you don’t do kernel updates for custom roms (other than backporting a few things that’s needed)

      if a device got android 13 officially it’s definitely possible to get android 17 running on it technically
