This is a tweaked versions of cm-10.2.0-yuga so all credit goes to the Cyanogenmod Team for the ROM.
If like me you unlocked the boot loader without backing up TA partition (DRM Keys) you will notice that some key features are not working with the default firmware like Miracast. This ROM gets back many of the features you would of lost when unlocking the boot loader.
Changes Made:
Added Motorola Launcher with Circle Widget and KitKat 4.4 Launcher.
Replaced stock gallery with Sony Z Album and Movie app (Facebook & Twitter integration working.)
Added Sony Z Walkman app with UPNP/DLNA Media Server.
Added Kitkat Camera
Modified Adobe Flash 11.1 with Hulu support.
Facebook contact sync working.
KitKat Apps. Google Now, Hangouts with integrated SMS, Calendar, Keep ect.
Forced all rendering to be done on the GPU. Should help with gaming and make things more smoother.
GoogleEars.
Kick Ass Kernelizer
Auto-zipalign and defragdb on boot
Auto Calibration on boot. Only does a few programs each boot. So may take a few reboots to calibrate all of them.
Plus many improvements taken from this thread + many others.
I also added some terminal commands.
Run each command with SU first then the command.
fixfc - Fix apps force closing.
sclean - Clean the dalvik cache and cache partition
Know bugs
Not a bug as such but something you should be aware of. It does take a few reboots to optimise all the apps.
Any more issues please report them.

So these apps just work without having to need the framwork files? Or the other apps like the SemcDlna.apk, SocialEngineFacebookShareFrwkPlugin.apk, SocialEngineFlickrPlugin.apk, plus the many others to get the media apps working on a none stock Rom.
CyanogenMod 12 for Pollux/SGP321
This is built for the Xperia Tablet Z with mobile data. If you have a Xperia Tablet Z that has wifi only, please look at this thread.
No support, no warranty, nothing. This is a build I made for myself that I'm sharing to XDA. Development only questions. Normal Q&A go elsewhere. No ETAs. I will ask for any posts that ask about anything mentioned in this post to be deleted (eg. "why is recovery not working")
Working:
- Wifi
- Sound
- Screen brightness
- Touch
- Bluetooth
- Gyroscope
- Camera
- NFC
- Microphone
- Data
- Deep Sleep
Not working:
- Games seem to be slightly unstable and crash if too many things happen
- GPS. Use the high accuracy setting to find location.
- Flashing from sdcard in recovery
Update #1: Data is fixed in 20150113 version. I know the about screen still shows 20150111 as the version, but it's updated.
THIS IS NOT DAILY DRIVER QUALITY. EXPECT THINGS TO BE BROKEN.
Download: cm-12-20150113-UNOFFICIAL-pollux
Flashing the ROM from sdcard does not work. I tested adb sideload and it works. Reboot to recovery and select adb sideload when applying the update. On the computer, navigate to a folder with adb and run "adb sideload <path to zip>". The rest is automagic.
You will also need a gapps package.
Credit goes to FXP and the numerous code authors on review.cyanogenmod.org, whose commits I have cherry picked for this build.

Great work thanks
You note instability on games,,, is it terribly bad or fairly uncommon? Data, Gps and recovery either don't matter or can be worked around, but games are probably 30% of my tab use.
Thanks

Admittedly, I only tested on a very limited selection of games. It seems to crash on Angry Birds Transformers if you tap on too many coins at once, but it seems fine on other games. Noted instability anyway because I can't be sure if it's because of ART or GPU libraries, since this build does use the mako L preview adreno blobs. I also noticed slight frame rate drops on other games, but the games themselves did not crash. Admittedly I don't use my tablet that much for gaming, so I put gaming under not working out of an abundance of caution.
When we can expect that data is working? Tomorrow i try this rom...

Now
Data has been fixed.
Installed now on the new version (don't use data but why not have the latest) and games seem ok at a quick glance. As you same slightly lower framerate probably due to old blobs but no instability so far. Will keep an eye on things.
All else good so far, about 1.5hrs in.

I cannot install it
Hello, I've tried to install this rom via sideload and also via normal zip flashing and the result was an error message "Warning: No file_contextsThis package is for device: SPG321, pollux; this device is a yuga.
E: Error in /sdcard/0/cm-12-20150113-UNOFFICIAL-pollux.zip

Installation aborted".
I cannot understand this, my tablet is an xperia tablet z with LTE not a yuga, I'm running CWM-based Recovery v6.0.3.5. How could I solve my problem?

Your ROM identifies itself as a yuga. Either flash a proper pollux ROM, change ro.product.device/ro.build.product to pollux in build.prop or remove the asserts in updater-script. You can also ask the maintainer of the ROM you use (nicely) to fix the build and change ro.product.device/ro.build.product to pollux.
PS. not recommended to mess with asserts in updater-script or change ro.product.device/ro.build.product unless you're 100% sure the tablet you're using is a SGP321. Messing with the asserts to make this flash on anything other than SGP321 may result in bad things happening.

Could you screenshot about tablet > status? Blank out things like IMEI as they're personally identifiable. Could you also toggle airplane mode on and off so that the modem is reset?
I've tried to reset the modem, but nothig has changed. Tablet seems to recognize the SIM, but is not able to start the modem.

Installation Instructions
-Make a backup just in case
-Wipe data/factory reset
-Install the rom
-Optionally install gapps (choose the package that suits you better)
Bugs/What's not working?
-Probably other features I may not use frequently
-Bluetooth half working
-3D perfomance and some games may have issues?
-The buttons for unlocking the sim will look smaller (but still usable) when dual sim activated
-Screen recorder of the rom

Multisim FAQ
How to enable/disable multisim?
Install a terminal and type the following
Enable:
Code:
su
setprop persist.radio.multisim.config dsds
Disable:
Code:
su
setprop persist.radio.multisim.config none
Or use the file manager in root mode, search for build.prop and change persist.radio.multisim.config=dsds (enable) or persist.radio.multisim.config=none (disable)
Dual SIM has the following limitations:
Both SIMs are always enabled (no way to disable one SIM)
"Receive incoming call while data is enabled" is always enabled
The QuickSettings tile will display the status for the currently selected SIM for data
Changing 2G/3G network mode using the QuickSettings toggle is not supported, only do it from Settings.
3G may not work properly if Dual SIM mode is enabled with only 1 SIM inserted
Ok, this rom seems pretty stable. I think dual sim should work and games like clash of clans won't close themseves. However I don't really know if lock screen widgets works (already searched on privacy and didn't found anything). For those who like features and doesn't need the lock screen widgets, this rom should be great
Edit: Ok, I found how to activate lock screen widgets. It seems it is necessary to disable low ram mode... Well, I'll release RC 1.1 with lock screen widgets working soon

Hmm that's weird. I'm using it right now and I don't have those problems. Those problems happened to you only on this rom or also on other roms? And did you use CWM or TWRP?
Hi, well im using CWM but discovered that this trouble its related with the Gapps.. :S when i change the gapps using another micro or nano version everything works fine. so its not a issue directly of the rom.. and its awesome.. thanxs again..
Greetings
Is this ROM Better/More stable than NamelessRom? i still can't decide wich one to download...
By the way, youtube doesn't work correctly on CM 11.0 and SlimKat 4.4.4, videos just seem to keep buffering till a. The app crashes, or b. The entire cellphone restarts itself... so I'm trying these two and i need to know wich one is better (in terms of performance, and youtube)
Anyways thanks for giving ROMs to our old little Samsung Galaxy Music

CM11 is the perfect ROM for this phone. For YouTube, try either this version of the YouTube app or any of the alternate apps from the F-Droid repository.

Which ROM are you flashing? Carbon? Did you try any of the others? CM11? If not, try flashing that. Don't flash GApps immediately. Just flash ROM and boot the phone. Let everything settle down for about five minutes and then flash GApps.
Yes

Hello, I'm really sorry to bump this thread, but, some time ago, it seems like this youtube app just stopped working, it just gives an error (401 or something like that) or it straight out tells me that a new version of youtube is available (The broken, original one from the playstore).
So, basically, is there another modified youtube app I can try out that allows me to watch videos on 4.4.4 again? The original YouTube still buffers forever :crying:
Again, sorry for bumping this thread, I hadn't had the time to post this here...

I'm sorry to say that none of these work on a Samsung Galaxy Music S6010 with CM11.0, they all have the same issue of not playing the video at all, and crashing if they're not closed on time...
I guess there are no other alternatives other than to flash back to 4.1.2 ????
4.1.2 is barely usable because of all the bloatware it has, or i don't know what is it that makes it so... laggy.

Testing the 2nd alpha build
I put a good 6-7 (give or take) hours on my phone running the 2nd alpha build. It's very fast, butter-smooth and really stable for what it is. I've encountered (almost) no weird stuff whatsoever while using the phone. Here's a complete list of the things I tested (what's working and what's not). Note that I used the phone like I would normally do (absolutely realistic to everyday usage - lots of video streaming and some browsing):
Working: Wi-fi
Mobile data (I get hspa+ with no problem at my area)
Vibration [for your private times ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ]
Notification led
Video playback (locally stored) (tested at 1024*600, 720p and 1080p - all videos were played smoothly)
Music playback
Sound (both the speaker and the hearing aid)
Phone calls
Messaging
Video streaming (youtube and kissanime were tested - all from the stock browser)
Internal storage (it shows as "damaged" at first boot - fix is provided by SdtBarbarossa)
Not working:
Camera (only accessible via the lockscreen - when launched you'll always get a "unable to connect to the camera" message)
Auto screen rotration (for the time being you can use an app called "set orientation" to force landscape orientation. Used it on my xperia t and it works just fine)
Access to recovery (no button combination is working - you need to have the phone connected to pc and use a.d.b. to reboot to recovery - other than that it works perfectly)
Bluetooth
N.f.c. (it does turn on but I can't test it without the bluetooth working - question mark on this one)
Proximity sensors
Other than that, the only times I found the rom to be a bit choppy is heavy scrolling (scrolling like a retard in a heavy page [e.g. facebook]) and video streaming when not in full screen. Also, some quick toggles are only visible when arranging the whole thing (e.g. torch, invert colors), but they cannot be used since they're hidden. Also, a section in the sound settings (it has to do something with vibration) causes the settings app to force close every time it's being opened. Despite this, I think the rom can be used as a daily driver if the camera is not a concern.
If there's anything you want me to test out, mention/quote me in this thread (or p.m. me, I'd prefer the first one though) and I'll test it out for you.

Not working:
Camera (only accessible via the lockscreen - when launched you'll always get a "unable to connect to the camera" message)
Auto screen rotration (for the time being you can use an app called "set orientation" to force landscape orientation. Used it on my xperia t and it works just fine)
Access to recovery (no button combination is working - you need to have the phone connected to pc and use a.d.b. to reboot to recovery - other than that it works perfectly)
Bluetooth
N.f.c. (it does turn on but I can't test it without the bluetooth working - question mark on this one)

3. with newest build acess to recovery is fixed and optimized
4.yea thats my next target
5.NFC is working for me with NFC tags

To go into deeper detail on the ROM, I used Lineage 16.0 20180901 s6 build modified for the s6 found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...20x-5x-nexusos-9-0-samsung-galaxy-s6-t3843199
It was also based on NexusOS kernel that has been modified, so a big shout out to Team Nexus for the kernel and rom, and to @lukasb06 for porting it to s6.
The original kernel was by Team Nexus for s6 and s6e
Kernel Features;
v2.0: first support Pie on s6e+ and n5
change log:
support N5-s6e+ (ready for daily usage)
bug: BT, GPS, NFC
deep sleep fixed, init.d support, dyninteractive and a lot of kernel code changed.
the kernel can be found at :
https://github.com/slaminger/android_kernel_samsung_exynos7420
**I have made some modifications, added a shim, added code to the init.rc to disable p2p wifi. Moving forward the modifications to the kernel will be done by myself.
Please read and follow the instructions :
New zip uploaded for November. Each month has its own folder
This is not fully functional yet but it is close, no Bluetooth, no NFC. the two buttons next to home don't work yet(a couple of temporary solutions below)
BACK UP YOUR CURRENT ROM! especially efs. Some people have ril issues, I noticed my imei changed. A quick efs restore fixed it and my sim worked again.
The home button can be set to double tap for recent apps and use opera browser for compensation of no back button as they have their own, or download back button from play store to add floating buttons to screen. Some versions have buttons pre installed.
I can get bluetooth not to crash, but it doesn't connect.
Wifi Hotspot not working.
Now that the bad is out of the way.
Install Instructions Below:
The call audio and WiFi works, camera works(lower res for video to 1080), magisk is working but apk requires manual apk install, audio works, headphones, video, gapps, everything I have tried besides the above is OK.
The install is a process, first flash the ROM, then the pie fix, then no NFC, and then flash the boot.
Img and start the ROM. set your WiFi and take a look around, give it a moment to run). After first boot, reboot to twrp and flash gapps. If you do it all at once gapps crash sometimes. Once you have this all set up and good to go then add magisk.
9.0SeptSecurity is a different version from the august security not just in the sense that the security patch is different, but also the august build is N920 where the September build is G920F. One is from a note one from s6. It is possible one might resolve a bug that is in the other for your device, i am honestly not sure. different people report different bugs on the same device. If bluetooth does happen to be in one of the zips it will likely crash a lot. remove it via twrp by mounting system and then going to system/app and delete the bluetooth and bluetoothmidi folders.
The reason for lowering rear camera to 1080p for video is that it gets buggy at the 4k default.
A big thank you to NexusOS and LineageOS for their 9.0 lineage 16.0 s6 ROM which I used as a base to port this to our device!
i would also like to thank @topjohnwu for Magisk.
And @MirzaAwais for the Pie fix zip

It's a bit slow for the first little bit while setting up and whatnot, but once you get everything running it works fine. You can use kernel auditor if you find your battery is dying a little too fast.
I am VERY open to suggestions and or help with this, as it is my goal to fix the bugs and have a fully working 9.0 for our device. The buttons are a priority for me.
To briefly summarize: you sacrifice the back button, pages button, and Bluetooth and get 9.0. Everything else works. I've got viper4android going via magisk, the audio fx work. The ROM has a LOUD volume. So if you like music, enjoy. The back button/page has a work around(most apps have a back button), and you can get an app from play store called back button which gives you the home, back and recent button as tiny floating screen icons also, in the meantime. so just bluetooth really. Use modified cam perm boot shim.img
Enjoy
I removed Bluetooth from the ROM intentionally because it crashed constantly and was hard to disable for people unfamiliar with twrp. No NFC.
The camera has been modified to address pipeline errors that caused it to not work in other builds, it is now fully functional up to 1080p video.
The advanced menu seems to be working fine.
Magisk successfully installed with the following modules tested: Viper4Android, Sony Framework, Sony Music, Audio Modification Library, Sys Config Patcher.
SUBSTRATUM DOES NOT WORK ON ANDROID PIE. This is because google does not want us using OMS for custom themes. they disabled it on purpose. i do not believe systemless substratum will be possible moving forward on any device running pie. atleast not at the time being.
**** Solved** see next post** Netflix not currently working, I googled and found many users on pie are having issues.
Superuser works also, but magisk has modules.
More details will be coming.
All gapps 9.0 working on sm-g928
W8, I used the full aroma package and installed everything. However pixel launcher with assistant in the search bar will not work if you install the new Google webview. The built in Google now launcher will work, and I have tried Nova launcher prime. Keep in mind the more gapps you install the slower your device can get. it is best to only install what you need. i installed everything just to see what worked. but i noticed my phone was slower after a while.
The camera is only confirmed working on g928w8 Canadian, g928g, g928f international/american, note 5 N 920variants. Others have reported bugs.
Netflix Netflix-6.13.0_build_29940.apk confirmed working, both cast and watching videos.
Congrats! Will this rom work on Note 5 N920C too ?

Suggestion: if you un-compress the rom(s) and do a search for *camera or camera* does it return any results. I suggest you compare it to a working version and determine what is missing in the system/ system/app and system/priv-app folder(s) once you determine what is missing then just bring those changes over to your folders

Let me try n rebuild it real quick for your device, its the same phone mine is just zenltecan not zenlte
Its uploading now, I used the same zip from my phone and changed the updater script to zenlte
OK its done, I named it v2, same link as first post
@godkingofcanada Hi, I've got same problem with this rom as I had with Oreo rom before. My WiFi MAC Address is 02:00:00:00:00:00 and it doesn't turn on. Have I to do something more than installing rom and all fixes with it ? I can provide logcat if it would do. Also after clean installation there was no bootanimation and no wallpaper. Just black screen and that's all. Hope to see quick reply. Cheers

What variant of s6e+ do you have? And sure let me peek at the logcat, I have never had it boot to black screen, normally the boot only fails if you did not flash the boot.img. the pie kl500.zip fixes the Wi-Fi, the other zip disables NFC, did you flash both ?

It's G928F variant, I don't have phone box with me, so can't check on it. I bought it here in Poland.

Give me a moment to look, you have the international variant but I don't think there's any hardware differences. I need to verify

Also, the phone is identifying itself as SM-N920X is settings, same this was happening with Oreo ROMs. I'll keep this page refreshed once in a while, I hope that you will find something. I've updated bootloader, but I'm not sure if it changes something. Thanks for fast replies
