Tizen (2.x) Support any ARM Based SmartPhone?

Hello.
I'm wondering if, Tizen Os, is installable on any SmartPhone (Any smartphone that runs Android) I've only found references to Samsung Galaxy SmartPhones.
So I need to know if I compile a tizen from scratch will run in a non S.G SmartPhone.

Ehm, but not forget. That manufacturer like Samsung have HIGH Security in BootloaderS chain... to prevent replace or additional OS. And Bootloader change is also not "supported"... So if you have 1 day in next months/yearS complete OS for your device of choice... You have to fight with Bootloader Security. :) You could use ARM Developer Boards or something like that, where no Security... But commercial Androids are commercial... Best Regards

Sometimes little difference between theory and reality... Fell free to post success. For now I can only find few posts about Nexus 7... seems Tablet... not really confirmed if working port. On Smartphone front absolute silence... In general about Tizen devices silence... Nothing about GT-I8805, SM-Z9005 etc... I can't remember if someone tried really I9300A... as RD-PQ is labeld with FCC ID as I9300A... Maybe more ports with Tizen 3.x and if really available for endusers... Middle 2014... :( Best Regards
