If i would have a Zte phone and a htc.Both phones had the same specs(i mean the same cpu,camera,etc).What if i root and install an android rom for my zte to htc phone.My htc phone would be recognised as a zte phone?(same id)
No, it wouldn't. Unless both phones have the exact same hardware components (by which I don't mean same ability, but same component at a chip level), it is highly unlikely that simply flashing another device's ROM onto yours will work well, or even work at all.
Different hardware manufacturers and models require different drivers at a very low level in the ROM. You cannot run hardware properly using the wrong drivers.

I can't figure out how to flash the original stock firmware to my Samsung Galaxy S6. I want to download different version of Android on my mobile and I've found a useful firmware repository called sammobile but I don't know how to install the downloaded files on my mobile.
Please help.
This is quite easy you have first to download the firmware files with the right model to your device (which you have done).
Then you need to flash this files in Download mode using your PC with a tool called Odin.

On a tablet, is it possible to install Linux on an SD card, and let it boot from it without the need to partition the internal memory and without touching Android?
For a native boot, out of the box, no. Android tablets generally have a locked bootloader and there would likely be driver issues. However, it has been done. For this to be done, however, you need to do quite a bit to the tablet.
I recommend you research which distribution of linux you want running on a tablet, then look for guides (such as on xda-developers.com), then buy the corresponding tablet.
You can emulate linux on your android phone. Take a look at this app:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid&hl=en

How Can I update the Nexus7 to Android Kitkat? I know that there in no official google Version , but is there a way I can update thru Eclipse?
The Nexus 7 is a stock Android device, or a Google Play device. This means that it will be getting the Android KitKat (4.4) update in the coming days. You are much better off waiting for the update from Google than installing a ROM on your phone, as it may contain hidden viruses. As #damryfbfnetsi said, this question should belong on android.stackexchange.com.
First you have to unlock your device. Its easy with this utility: http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
After that you have to download custom ROM. It depends if you have
classic (non 3g) Nexus 7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/orig-development
3g version Nexus 7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/3g-development
Look for ROM with 4.4 Kitkat in thread name. I also advise to read comments in forum thread before you download it.
Again to flash custom ROM use wugfresh utility.

I am seeing some errors on Android 4.3 which by numbers is the highest version, but then I see most of my installs are on 4.1, 4.0.3-4.0.4, 4.2 is the 3rd by installs.
So what is wrong with 4.3 (Jellybean)? I have some crashes that happen on it, but not other versions. Was Jellybean some buggy Android verison? Or what is wrong with it?
Unless you're a power user who installs your own ROMs, you are at the whim of the manufacturer to get OS updates. In many cases they have not been prompt to update (or even want to update at all).
This chart gives a good layout of what versions people are using in general on Android: http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html
Without a nexus you dont get vanilla stock android over the air OS or updates.
Some manufactures take a long time to update their phones and some phones from same manufacturer dont get updated. So so phones cant actually get the latest OS without custom rom etc. Even some top phones released today are not 4.3, and probably never will.

In android, is it possible to limit the the number of the devices that are connected to the phone via tethering?
The limit by the OS is 10 , is there a way we can reduce this value through an app ??
Or is there a way to restrict the bandwidth of the tethered connections?
thanks in advance
No and no, respectively. A custom build of the OS, installed via a modded ROM, presumably can do this.
Yes, you can by using third party Apps like WiFi Tether for Root Users. This apps will allow you to select which devices can use your mobile-data connection.
