[ROM][4.3][JSS15J] CyanogenMod 10.2 Unofficial Nightly Builds

Unofficial CM 10.2 builds for Nexus 4​
Hi all,
I decided to post my unofficial builds of CM10.2 for Nexus 4 after being asked by a few people in the CM10.1 Q&A and development threads, in order to consolidate questions and keep clutter down in those threads I decided it was best to make a thread specifically for these builds.
CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Code:
#include
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.
*/
CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.
How to install:
First time installing or coming from another 4.3 based ROM:
Download the ROM
Download a compatible 4.3 Gapps package (I have been using Banks gapps from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857)
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data/Factory reset
Flash the ROM
Flash Gapps
Reboot
Coming from a previous CM10.2 nightly:
Download the ROM
Reboot into recovery
Flash the ROM
Reboot
Coming from a previous CM10.1 nightly:
Download the ROM
Download a compatible 4.3 Gapps package (I have been using Banks gapps from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857)
Reboot into recovery
Flash the ROM
Flash Gapps
Reboot
Builds:
Built from official CM sources only, no cherry-picks, no changes, no additions. I will not be changing the official sources in any way so don't bother asking.
http://goo.im/devs/thracemerin/cm_builds/mako
Note: These builds are produced by my buildbot at 4am US Eastern time (build + upload takes approximately 90 minutes), the repo will be synced during the build process to ensure that the latest sources are used. The completed file size should be approximately 196MB, so if the latest download isn't it's not fully uploaded yet
Note 2: If the build fails for some reason, I will try to build one later in the day, but if I can't you may have to wait until the following day.
How to get root:
In order to get root access, you need to do the following:
Activate the Developer Settings by going to Settings->About Phone ant tap on the Build Number 7 times.
Go to Settings->Developer Options and change the Root Access to 'Apps and ADB'
You may also need to activate USB Debugging in Developer Options (some people say you do, others say you don't)
Note: If you have flashed a kernel that comes with it's own boot.img package it may not have the correct instructions to start the internal su daemon as a result root will stop working, at the moment the best way to fix this is to not use that kernel. If you absolutely have to use a custom kernel you may need to flash SuperSU for the moment or ask your kernel dev to support this feature.
Known Issues
None that I'm aware of, but keep in mind that these are pre-nightly builds and could contain bugs and/or non-working features at any time.
Thanks

F.A.Q
Q: When will official builds start?
A: Soon
CyanogenMod Blog said:
“Who cares about the old, gimme 10.2!”
We have one last internal item on our checklist before we open the floodgates on CM 10.2 nightlies. We fell into an old habit in 10.1 and the settings menu became more cluttered than we would like, and at times confusing both in presentation and in code. We are working to resolve this before 10.2 nightlies begin, so the transition is less jarring than it would down the line. Expect the new layout to be in effect with the first nightlies. If all goes well, we are talking days, not weeks.
In the meantime, the majority of our 10.1 roster have transitioned to being 10.2 capable. This means for you at-home builders, things should be in a fairly good spot for your own personal builds. If you want to checkout all the stuff we’ve merged, click through the pages.

Q: What is SELinux?
A:
CyanogenMod Blog said:
What is SELinux?
The project’s official description reads “SELinux is a security enhancement to Linux which allows users and administrators more control over access control.”
SELinux is a set of Open sourced and peer reviewed changes to the core Android Software stack to help prevent apps from performing malicious activities. This is done by establishing a set of policies that act as mandatory access controls (MAC). Depending on the policy, it can do things such as prevent apps from running or accessing specific data, to preventing root access altogether.
SELinux has wide-scale adoption throughout the linux landscape, with Fedora, Red Hat and others incorporating policies to better the system security. The default policies are usually written per distribution, by their maintainers – we have begun this process for CyanogenMod.
We will be working on this policy creation in parallel to Google’s own policies for Android, which we believe will be released with the Android 4.3 source; effectively getting us ahead of the eventual 4.3 source release. As this process is open source, policy creation and suggestions will be handled via our gerrit instance.
What it’s not?
SELinux is not a backdoor for government agencies to spy on you. It is not PRISM, PROMIS, CARNIVORE, The Great Firewall or any other ominous Big Brother-like initiative.
Access Control Modes
By default, we will be shipping with SELinux capabilities enabled in the kernel, but in a Permissive mode. What this means is that your phone will behave exactly as it currently does, with no noticeable change to the user.
There are 3 modes in total, Enforcing, Permissive and Disabled. While in Enforcing mode, SELinux policies are enforced, preventing whatever causes a violation (ie su). Permissive mode logs policy violations, but does not prevent the activity that caused it. Disabled turns SELinux off.
We are using Permissive mode as our default so we can come up with sensible policies. If you submit a log for us to analyze (via JIRA) for SELinux policy improvements, the logged exceptions will be of high value.
This will be an ongoing process as we work to incorporate sensible policies for each device repo. As always our source is available on Github and patches will be peer reviewed via gerrit. For those more attuned to personal data security, you are welcome to watch and audit our efforts. For the rest of you, sit back and relax – no need for pitchforks.

amazing mate, keep it up the good work!

Hey, thanks for the builds. Do you have any idea in your great widsom as to why the various Gapps packages vary in size to such a great extent?
First, we have Banks, which is extremely minimalist, at least when compared to official 10.1 Gapps.
Then, we have a 10.2 un-authored Gapps package, often linked in the CM discussion, which is about the size of the official 10.1 one, but seems to require Banks's photosphere add-on.
Lastly we have doomed's version which approaches a whopping 200 MBs.
What on earth can account for such varying sizes, and as the purist that I think you are, why do you use the minimalist Banks Gapps?

Feedback
Nice man, thanks for this work, btw, the front cam is upside down.

BaNkS only includes the essential Google Apps that are needed for the Google experience -- working sync services, the Play Store itself, and so on. He provides other Google Apps in the form of an add-on, a separate zip, for the keyboard/camera/etc. Basically, most of the Google Apps are now available to download from the store itself (Keep, Earth, Maps, Voice Search, Search and so on). That wasn't always the case, but still some are releasing a full Google Apps package with everything.
The minimalistic approach is obvious - only install what is necessary, manually get anything else yourself. That is why the banks package is small because it is not forcing other apps that people may or may not use since they could simply download it themselves if they wanted to. I assume the 200mb or more package is simply every single Google APK that comes with the official factory images.

markd0wn basically covered it, but it also depends on what you want in your /system directory, most of the apps that used to come in Gapps packages are now available in the Play Store as stand alone packages so you can still get them if you want them and they get installed as user apps instead of system apps, not that it makes a tremendous difference, but for the most part they don't need to be in /system.

Android reserves around 4GB of the total space on the device. Yes, it is quite normal.
Glad I picked up the 16GB model.

@thracemerin, any way to know if the CM team are aware of the homescreen shortcut bug? maybe I should search JIRA for it... since I'm not sure they follow all threads here. Doesn't seem to happen to everyone though. Happens to me in every unofficial 10.2 build (gonna try yours now after full wipe). The only thing I'm changing is the number of homescreens from the default of 5 to less (for example 2). After that, it's very easy to reproduce - simply add a few apps from the drawer to the homescreen, also put some apps in folders, then reboot, and you'll see what I'm talking about (in case you don't already know). It also happens randomly without reboots, maybe when Trebuchet is refreshing itself or something, but reboot forces it to happen quicker.

I heard about it, but I always use Apex Launcher so it doesn't happen to me. I'm not sure they want you to put things for 10.2 on JIRA or not (probably not) but its a fairly serious thing, so you could try logging it, worst case they ignore it.

thanks for posting this thracemerin. I've started my own builds (mostly for fun, to see if I could!), but I wanted to try some known good 4.2 builds before I flash one of my own. Your build and instructions are great. It's running smooth except for two things:
- I can't get my titanium backups to restore user apps, it just hangs at 0%. No big deal, I've just been installing from play store manually.
- Installing swype gives an error -24 . I did a clean install of your CM build, so data was wiped; there is nothing from nuance in data/data to wipe. This may or may not be related to the error with TiBu because it also was trying to install swype from a backup. I guess I'll play with the stock keyboard for a while.
thanks again.

For the titanium backup problem, I switched the backup folder to the legacy selection in the preference menu and was then able to restore. Hope that helps

Thanks to DJLamontagneIII for this:
Titanium backup Users
1. In tb go to menu>preferences>backup folder location
2. Navigate to storage/emulated/legacy
3. Select your Backup folder and Select "Use the current folder"
4. Then it will ask you to move backup to that folder.... Select that
5. Restart app and restore.

Beat me to it

Another bug that I think is introduced in the 08-11 build is lockscreen slider shortcuts not saving (but if you changed them on a previous build and updated to 08-11, they'd probably be set up right).
I managed to save them anyway using a workaround. Basically setting them all as 'Empty' and hitting the save button won't do - you'd turn screen off/on and it will still have the default ones. What I did to 'fix' this is set each one to empty and tap save inbetween changing each one, then tap save again after they're all empty, then I tapped the icon that restores all to default, suddenly the 'default' is what I just set up (all empty), then hit save again, and voila, saved successfully. Could probably skip a few of those steps that I did as I'm sure one of them did the trick and the others were just me testing, but at least it works.
Another thing that confirms that they're changing something related to lockscreen shortcuts, is that after achieving this, the lockscreen is now stock-style-behavior. Before, when you set all shortcuts to empty, pressing and holding the lock icon would let you drag it to each spot that became empty but it still appeared as an "empty shortcut". Now, you don't see the spots where shortcuts would normally be, it's just all a circle.
(I'm reporting all of this just in case it helps someone )

They're doing a fairly significant reworking of the entire settings apk and all of the CyanogenMod settings, it's possible something got added/removed that broke this temporarily. I would expect that certain settings menus, etc... may be broken over the next little while before the official nightlies begin.

[ROM][5.{0,1}][AOSP][{Un,}Official] CM12.{0,1} (Lollipop)

CM12.{0,1} (Lollipop) official/unofficial builds for the Droid 4
CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 5.0/5.1 (Lollipop), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>

* Collectively, and at the same time.
*/
CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.
These are WIP builds of porting CM12.{0,1} to the Droid 4 (and also other devices using the same device/motorola/omap4-common-infrastructure). They probably won't work, so don't expect too much. Use on your own risk!

SELinux updates.
This requires manual action for applications to continue being able to access their own files when upgrading from 2014-01-14 or 2014-01-15 (older versions are fine)!
Due to SELinux-bugs in 2014-01-1{4,5}, you have to relabel your data-partition on the first boot when upgrading from 2014-01-14/-15. This only needs to be done once. To do this, enable adb/usb debugging and grant root to adb (both in developer settings) and execute via an adb shell:
Code:
su -c 'for i in /data/*; do echo "${i}"; restorecon -DFrv "${i}"; done; sync; reboot'
2015-01-1{4,5}:
More fixes for {,umts_}spyder

thank you @stargo, I am so pleased to see this thread, I was wondering when this thread is going to appear. Looks like I will continue to cling onto my droid 4 for a while, no virtual keyboard can beat a droid 4 keyboard.
Is data encryption enabled by default like on the nexus 6? I read that it greatly reduces the performance of the device. I meant this: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/disable-data-encryption-nexus-6/
Once again, thank you so much for your efforts in keeping this device alive.

Cast Screen
Hey stargo. thanks a lot for this! :good:
The 'Cast Screen' under settings pull-down menu is not working. It does not find any of the chromecasts that I have nearby.
Not a big deal, and not a priority at all for me, but just wanted to let you know.
Thanks again!

G'day,
just wanted to confirm the procedure for updating SafeStrap, since some people have CM11 in their stock slot:
in the first step (when you say 'go back to stock'), are you saying simply to boot the stock slot, regardless of ROM (since once SS is unistalled the 'slots' don't exist)?
Or do you mean boot to stock ROM, in stock slot?
I'm guessing it's the former, but I'd like to be sure before taking the plunge =)
thanks for your work! I gave the 2011 version a run over the weekend, it worked pretty well all things considered =)

May not ever work, IIRC, chromecasting the screen requires hardware we just don't have. :[

assuming that cm11 is currently installed in your stock slot and you want to update to the new test safestrap by stargo:
uninstall the existing safestrap using the original safestrap, for instance, if the existing safestrap is 3.73, you should install safestrap 3.73 and uninstall the recovery.
DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE IN THE PROCESS
after you have uninstalled the existing recovery, uninstall safestrap(3.73), and then install the new safestrap by stargo, and install the recovery.
your safestrap is now updated, and nothing will be wiped.
YOU MUST NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE DURING THE PROCESS, you can only reboot after a recovery has been installed.
hope you find this useful

Yes, our GPU driver does not support WFD. And in contrast to the GNEX, Motorola added much stuff to our version, so it's not easy to sync it back with the upstream kernel. Last time I tried that, I ended up with a non-working display and couldn't figure out why...

just wanted to confirm the procedure for updating SafeStrap, since some people have CM11 in their stock slot:
in the first step (when you say 'go back to stock'), are you saying simply to boot the stock slot, regardless of ROM (since once SS is unistalled the 'slots' don't exist)?

Just boot to whatever you currently have installed in the stock slot. And I have to underline what @sharptv said, never reboot your phone in the process (it might work when you have the stock ROM in the stock slot, but it will surely break in every other case).

Will cm12 be pre-rooted in future? I can't seem to find anything solid on this, hopefully someone will be able to shed some light on this.

Data doesn't come up on its own, still needs some prodding (selecting the APN) and will go out randomly. Still not ready for prime time, sadly.... :<
It does come up a lot quicker, however.

That's VZW weirdness
But if it comes up, then data is actually passing? Because that is what my patch was intended to fix. Before that the data-indicator would show up, but data would not actually get transmitted...
Can you probably send me the output of "ip route list" and "ip addr list" when LTE data is connected?
Would be interesting to see, what is actually happening now. I can only guess from here...

The deal is, the data works at first, then at random intervals it breaks and needs to be manually reset. I'm travelling right now so I can't really risk using CM12 right now, but I'll get you some logs when possible. JJB is having the same issue, I'll ask him to try and get you some details.

[PLEASE HELP] Lenovo K3 Note (K50-T5)

Hello to all guys , I just got this fantastic Lenovo phablet , but I do not like the translation and Vibe UI , I want to find a pure Android rom . I know that almost certainly there are devices that have the Lenovo compatible roms . Can anyone help me out ? :crying::crying::crying:

I have the same problem, I just changed to new version of VibeUI and had some problems with google apps HELP!

I'm pretty sure as this phone is, new rooting and roms are still being developed. Be patience.. or learn to make one yourself
To those who find this thread do be careful! I've already seen posts about people who have bricked this phone trying to root it.

Got the same phone. Liking the layout etc. Not the official VIBE UI rom.
It's set to English, but still finding Chinese icons/text everywhere.
Since I don't speak/read Chinese; issue...
Also sometimes laggy, due to lots of processes/apps running in the background, which can not be deleted or stopped.
Looking forward to when the community embraces this phone, and stock Android ROMS will be available on short term.
It's a (edit: potential!) flag-ship killer, in my eyes...

Hi,
I am trying to port cm12 to this device. It is the first time I am doing although I have previously created custom ROMs by editing system.img, so I am a noob.
I managed to get a stock rom: K50-T5_USR_ST1516_5.654.1_1504152228_MP6V3_CN.rar.
I have slightly modified build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh to be able to work with mediatek files which have a 512 bytes extra header.
I've triedt to create a recovery but I am not sure if it will work as I have some errors in the output
./build/tools/device/mkrecoveryzip.sh /home/vagrant/android/system/out/target/product/aio_otfp /home/vagrant/android/system/out/host/linux-x86/framework/signapk.jar

You can find attached the information I've been able to collect (info.txt and build.prop.txt) and build.log which was in a folder in the stock ROM.

AOSP based 5.0 build for the K3 Note
Nanj at a Chinese forum had released an AOSP based 5.0 build for the K3 Note
http://bbs.ydss.cn/thread-551335-1-1.html (in Chinese but with captures)
The download link:
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hqAdrrY
No gapps are included. The build functions ok. Camera, phone / data, and wifi seem to work. However please note that there is an undesirable apk, posed as a system component, at /system/app/SystemServer/SystemServer.apk. It sends frequent packets back to 622b6.romdu.com in China, similar to the issue in another post for a different rom -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55315205&postcount=54
The ROM also comes with a Chinese version of the Opera browser, Oupeng, which also sends analytics packets in the background.
With the two programs removed suspicious packets are no longer obvious from logcat.

New VIBE UI
There has been a new update released by Lenovo.
VIBEUI_V2.5_1524_5.955.1_ST_K50-T5
I have not updated as of yet, for the reason being I am very dissatisfied with the VIBEUI. I currently run 1522, despite the obvious and numerous complications of using the Asian based firmware. I have had to replace the dialer and sms, mms apps as well as install a font manager, even so I am still unable to get 4G working. I would much prefer a pure Android rom and for the past month have been considering beginning a project to build a new Lollipop rom supporting the 67xx MTK chipsets. It would be my first attempt at doing so since all my previous phones have been LG, HTC and NEXUS devices which have always proved easy enough to manipulate and customize.
If anyone out there has experience in building custom roms, especially for devices using the newer 64bit Mediatek chipset, please feel free to contact me. I would appreciate any help offered in this endeavor and I know there are many other MTK device owners out there that are just waiting for someone, or a group of someones', to pioneer a solution for those of us in the western hemisphere using these MTK devices. I am constantly on the look out for new information and projects pertaining to this, additionally I have a dedicated computer with all the SDKs needed to begin the project.
PM me if you are interested in helping kick start this project. Thanks.

What is the significance of this ROM string? I see that "ST" prob means (stable).
Know what "CC", "WCA2" and "WCA8" means in these I found below?
Do you know where is the (official) location to find the latest English language ROM?
My proximity sensor is not working and I'm wondering if moving to a diff ROM will fix that.
VIBEUI_V2.5_1520_7.128.1_CC_K50-T5_WCA2.zip (Android 5.0)
VIBEUI_V2.5_11520_5.827.1_ST_K50_T5 (Android 5.0) <------ the one my phone came with; multi-language
VIBEUI_V2.5_1524_5.955.1_ST_K50-T5_WCA8.zip (???)

I just confused myself. Should i be flashing the bootloader, radio, etc from a nexus factory image and then flash omni? I have been using 20150605 build without doing this. Should i do this for the nightlies?

Honestly, I've never used zip verification for all the years I've been flashing ROMs and have never had any issues.
I'm probably wrong but.. My theory is that packed somewhere inside the zip you are trying to flash lies a key, which is compared next a second key once extracted. If they don't match it throws an error and aborts the operation.

I've never used zip verification for this exact reason, and therefore have never looked into it. This sounds like something for the TWRP thread that @Dees_Troy could answer maybe.

Does anyone have a rundown of what this Rom has to offer beyond stock aosp? The Rom OP is a bit bare of info. Thanks

Off the top of my head... battery icon customization, volume match orientation, volume wake, screenshot delete, advanced reboot menu, hide usb debugging icon, ambient display customization. Also, Omni is the only AOSP ROM where I don't get force closes when taking multiple HDR+ pictures in a row without pause.

Completely stable device functionality with whatever you see on gerrit :good:

Not sure if feature requests are allowed or not, if not then just ignore this..
But I was wondering if the 5 second home button delay on app launchers (such as Swipepad) is something that may be removed? That'd make navigating the phone much quicker for those of us who do use app launchers.

I saw opendelta mentioned in the main thread but I haven't seen any indication it exists within the ROM. Am I just missing it?

I am certainly interested in giving OmniRom a try. A couple of questions...
First, I'm attempting to download the Omni 5.1.1 20150725 Nightly (newest as of this writing) and the download is going exceptionally slow (20-30KB/s) on the official dl.omnirom.org mirror. Is there an issue with the server at current or an up to date mirror?
Next, is there an overall feature list for Omni (on Nexus 6)? Many ROMs place a list of their main features as well as any other ROMs/kernels they incorporate (ie based on CyanogenMod 12.1, with latest CM12.1 commits added on every update etc..)).
Thank you!

The server is probably being slow. They just upgraded storage/cleaned it up a few days ago and it has been significantly faster, it might be your connection to the server or something else.
As far as a list of features, there isn't one to my knowledge but you can certainly check on gerrit to see what's been merged recently. Just flash it and see for yourself: highfive:

Does this rom have layers?

Omnirom 5.1.1 nightly sudden reboot+supersu freeze+bluetooth headset bugs
I installed Omnirom 3days ago and have to say; nice stuff. runs fluid, batterie's fine and overall i like user experience. BUT
I'm experiencing some bugs.
first of all sometimes there just are random sudden reboots. On stock rom this happened from time to time when battery was below 30% or something so i thought there has to be a powersaving feature or something in kernel that don't works correct.
Then i flashed TWRP+Omnirom and those sudden reboots started happening randomly; regardless of battery.
I googled and found that could be some setting that adapt display brightness(???) and/or some apps bugging/conflicting. and, from previous experience, i know that this could also be a hardware/battery failure(please not; can't send my phone back right now as i need it daily for work and my N5 has a broken touch )
i tried disabling that display feature and also installed and tested if 'Lux' has any impact on that as it, basically, does the same but no change.
i factory reseted my device multiple times and tried to find out what APP could force this but... right now there's only the bare minimum(contacts+ / messages+ / aquamail / maildroid / todoist /calengoo /business calender pro and google stock apps)and still same problem. sometimes even while calling what's very embarassing when having an important customer on phone ...
I gonna try Zen Kernel next just to see if different kernel with different cpu scheduler COULD make any difference.
Then the second bug is my bluetooth headset(Plantronics M165). Can't get it to pair. Before Omnirom this worked very well as it should. Now, most of time he finds nothing and sometimes he finds a mac address of the headset but not the name. Other bluetooth devices are working fine and the headset's still working perfectly well on my gf's HTC M8. Anyone any ideas?
Last bug i experienced is SuperSU. Always an app needs root i can't get SuperSU intercept my choice. I click on allow or deny but nothing happens and after 10seconds superSu autodenies(or allows; depends on settings )right after factory reset supersu just works fine but suddenly stops working. root's still there as i can perfectly tell supersu what to do in its settings. Only the on demand root question can't be answered. uninstalling/reinstalling supersu didn't change anything. It doesn't matter if i install supersu by playstore or by zip through recovery. also unrooting and rerooting doesn't help. only a factory reset helps; for a while.
I don't want to change my Superuser managment as i paid for the pro version ...
Hope to find some help here as it's one of my fav places for everything smartphone related since back in my tytn days
so much knowledge in here.
keep up the good work

update:
sudden Reboot Problem solved, Same for superSu Problem.
just the Bluetooth problem's still there. flashing back to Stock resolves the issue but... stock and I really start liking omnirom...

M builds will be ready soon enough :good:

great news
Do we get the Update for M through opendelta or is a factory reset + reflash needed?
and if i understand right you assume that the Bluetooth Problem should be gone with M?
would be nice as, right now, I sometimes have to pick up important calls while driving ... and... i don't like that at all....
would try the homemade M build IF i wouldn't need it daily for work. about time to repair my n5 i guess

What is currently the "best" (state of the art) ROM for EU64bit MSM8916 ??

Presently: T-Mobile-Polska ROM (4.4.2 KitKat, Build ID: KOT49H) flashed 24-03-2015y.
Well customized, rooted, well tuned up with Xpose instaler modules etc., frozen bloatware
For several months it is proposed to update for a reason: Security Fix!
Is it worth updating at all? As such a "security fixes" used to mean user couldn't customize or tune OS, you could hardly detect any other difference!
However, what is the latest or simply the best ROM for the 64bit device?
(And where to download from?)
No matter stock or custom, just it needs fully work and has some nice "state of the art" builtin functionality
The other facilities will be acquired through the means above mentioned: root, Xpose, 3Ctools and some neat tools available on the market.
Possibly half of the stock system apps are just bloatware, so 3Ctools will help to cleanup them

You might try to ask the tech support what is in this update for example the MMS fix surely feels like must have (well known by now mms bug allowing to execute a code send by mms) but if that something you could manage to dodge on your own then just ignore it.
About the ROM with some nice looks n feels well we don't have any TBH we don't have any so called "daily driver" at all but I can suggest installing a custom launcher some of the more liked ones were on sale not so long ago you just have to track the app sales
I don't suggest any cause I don't know the forum rules regard the advertising.
Edit: There's Cyanogenmod 12 but it's bugged, not something u want to use daily.

There's only 1 rom available for the 64 bit and that's the one patrik made the cm12 and it has a good amount of bugs so it's not suggested as a daily driver yet. Nothing else but that and stock.
