No you can't.
Smartphones don't have Intel or AMD processor with hardware detection. They are using usually ARM processors without and the os needs to be always exactly written for that specific hardware.
So basically each hardware, even if there is only small changes, it needs it's own operating system with ARM processors.

Hi,
I moved your post because the porting category is for ongoing ports.
