[Q] Need a little thought-provoking impulse - ROM-ing not just MOD-ing?

Hi,
since I own a S3 Mini I am into this board and the great custom roms here .. :good:
but what I still don't get: how close are the custom roms to the stock rom.
for instance:
stock for S3 mini is 4.1.2 - kernel 3.0.x?
custom roms: 4.2.2, 4.3.1 and 4.4.2 - all (maclaw roms) use the same kernel 3.0.101
but 4.4 uses linux kernel 3.3 or 3.4?
so what does this difference in the kernel versions (3.0.101 to 3.3) mean? Isn't it like using windows 95 with a windows vista or windows 7 theme?
dont't get me wrong, I love the custom roms! Using the slimrom of maclaw and like it a lot. Just wanna get it right in my head :silly:

I dont really know what are the changes in the different kernels but think of them like software updates, there may be tweaks, fixes and new features
All we have is 3.0 is because there are only 3.0 kernel sources and STE died and are not releasing kernel sources anymore

Hi,
thx for the information!
i've just read about the "STE" thing. Is it the "munjeni" - "story" in the Sony Xperia thread in this board and the legality of using leaked source code?
What a pity

[ROM]NostromoPop 2.4.0 (25/10/16)[CM12.1][5.1.1]

[ROM]NostromoPop 2.4.0 (25/10/16)[CM12.1][5.1.1]
This is the Unofficial CM12.x for the HTC One Mini 2 thread!
Project status so far is working!! I've had trouble finding the proper libraries and thought I'd bricked my device yesterday with an earlier build but then grabbed the CM11 latest and used libraries and firmware files from that and it works! Some apps seem to run a little slow but equivalents run fast so it's a per app issue and not Android 5 per se as Dalvik is gone and libArt is the main runtime. Otherwise it seems very very fast even compared to KitKat!
It includes all the expected functionality from CM and I've also added Apollo into the build!
Plus this build includes my own DPIChanger app to make things a little easier.
Download link:
NostromoPop v2.4.0 CM12.1 25/10/2016
Open Gapps for all ROMs: Gapps

Massive massive thanks to the Google guys developing this and of course CyanogenMod and without a doubt, u-ra for porting the device initially and for maintaining the device trees and recovery image!!! And the Paranoid team for the Gapps.
Oh and use the latest recovery possible!! And if you are feeling adventurous or miss the old Xposed framework from JB and KK then try this from @rovo89 : Xposed

Thanks! All I did in the end was install CM11 latest version and grab a few extra libraries from my other build and it built successfully. First attempt was built using the libraries from before October and that nearly bricked it!

Hi, I'm new here. Flashed a lot one my HTC ville, but got a One Mini 2 now. Poor custom ROM diversity for memul, so thank you for your efforts.
On download page it says ...memul.zip but then for HTC One XL???

Just flashed Nostromopop, works great! Thanks dude for giving us Lollipop on One Mini 2!
For all followers: first boot took several minutes, this is not a bootloop. Be patient!
I'll report issues after some testing.

It works great. It's fast and stable until now.
My camera isn't working for now but we finally hand lollypop working.
Thanks

Nice work, only problems I'm having are audio fx not working and the camera app is slow/glitchy

Got some problems with the launcher I'm using (KK) but works fine now. Camera works for me. Can't find Apollo app, but that's no problem.
How can I restore my e-mail accounts from CM11 ? Not working with Titanium Backup.

You do realize this is a build of the stuff I'm pushing to the CyanogenMod repo? All the bugs listed in this thread are the reason there's no official nightly yet.

So it's mainly your work? Then thank you for your efforts!
The Nostromo build shows surprisingly few problems so far and I won't complain about things that do not work. I'm very happy to get a first lollipop experience.
It's great to hear that there will be CM12 for memul, I was not sure about this. There were so much ROMs for my HTC ville and there seems to be so few development for the Mini2. Future CM12 support is good news for me.

Yeah built it first for the One XL (my main phone) and then attempted the build for the Mini 2 and forgot to update the config/common.mk file in vendor/cm!!

Yep, hence the thanks in the first post. And as I stated all I did was built it with a set of libraries that worked. Also built a version of PAC Man a while back but could never get hold of the devs to get the build uploaded.
I'm also running your build of TWRP as it's the only proper recovery for this phone out there.
So all in all, without u-ra this wouldn't exist or would still be in development.

Just flashed the rom a few hours ago. After playing with it a bit, I would point out a few things.
1. The AOSP camera app hangs a hell lot and also freezes the phone. So an alternative camera app will be the suggestion.
2. It is almost as smooth as the stock rom.
3. I am really missing Xposed on this. Guess I'll have to wait for it or go back to stock.
4. There is a bit of a clicking sound in audio at the highest volume, something that was present in CM11 when I used it previously(Not sure if it is still present in the newer versions).
The only main gripe for me is the unreliability of the camera. I will try other apps, but nothing can beat the Stock Sense camera IMHO.

I strongly suggest that you take down this "ROM"
As this is only U-ra's work. You presenting this ROM is really stealing his shine as HE IS THE ONLY ONE really making anything for this device. We don't want to upset him by doing these things do we?
Let him present his work when it's fineshed!
When you touch a ball that's allready a 100% goal did you score?

Calm down. The record is already set straight. Also, posting builds is perfectly fine, as is using CM base to build other variants, so long as the credits are given and licenses followed.

Exactly and without u-ra we wouldn't have ROMs on this phone or a recovery at all! And now that full CM12 is up then that is now available and can be used from now on. I'll only upload builds for this when I have added custom bits etc. For example I've bene testing builds of PAC and am waiting on Carbon being available on 5.x.

First CM 12.1 build with Android 5.1.1 posted! Again this is purely until the official nightlies come out that u-ra has worked on so much but I've been running 5.1 for 2 weeks now and it seems pretty good!

I guess this only shows on the Chinese website? [I looked on en.miui.com] Is it still KK based?
Are we not better off following STRYDER~007's guide and building on a LP AOSP base if so?

Its 4.4.4 and it would be better to build from source , as I have damaged my m7spr and switched back to the nexus 7 grouper ,I can not build or make this ROM without testing , I have only had problems with boot.IMG but it is pretty easy ,as of now there should be a 6.0 source I have seen it was ported to a new device

I'd be all for giving it a go. I think that sticking to 5.1.1 for now would make the most sense, 6.0 isn't anywhere near ready to daily at this point. - I could give the @STRYDER~007 method a go, but I'm not aware of any non CM bases. I don't have the room to compile from https://android.googlesource.com/ and I don't know of a "clean" AOSP ROM. Any suggestions there?
...I may give CM12 a try, it just seems that leaving as little room for error as possible would be ideal.

What AOSP ROM you prefer for G900H?

Hey
As everybody we know have our separated forum for S5 Exynos varient . And unfortunately CyanogenMod is dead now so i want give a chance to users to choose what base rom you want us to work on

Any aosp based on Android 7.1.1

For me after using RR made by @somadsul, I've decided that RR is the best replacement for CM...
Thanks for your works @A.Arani

Pure AOSP(2)

Voted for AOSP..

I would choose pure AOSP, If not if would be RR

AOSP and AOSP base ROMs like Paranoid AICP . RR is based on cm so not expecting that..

Tweaking with something like Xposed has 3 consequences:
1- it's not stable and always Buggy
2- you can't get all features on 7.1 with Xposed
3- something u need basic and simple and sometimes faster rom like aosp u can't easily remove parts from os using Xposed
P.S : next nougat rom will be aosp too ??? only matter is time and probably camera is fixed in next released version of nougat

Stable ROM for everyday use

Hello.I have an Samsung Galaxy S4 Active and I'm using the optimized lineage os from 19 jan. Could anyone recommend me a good and stable ROM for everyday use but in the same time to have performance ?

CM11 is what you need.Here you go: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58442741&postcount=1112
Make sure you install the latest build(20150126).

But it's not a little outdated ?

If security is what you want,then you should install the latest LineageOS build.There is a i9505 up-to-date kitkat build,only if I knew how to port it,or if someone could port it.

If xposed is important to you go with CM13 (MM). That is my choice now, 28/dez + my mic fix works very well.
If you like Samsung style go with WizCyan (LP)
Otherwise go with RR or LOS (N)
Miui 8 is another alternative (MM)
For performance don't move apps to storage, uninstall all apps that you don't use (included system ones), install Kernel Adiutor and do tunning like this:

As soon as xposed is available to N, that will be my daily choice. Thanks for the builds!

I don't know which modules you need but most things that required xposed on LP are now integrated into N.
Especially in RR version which is highly customizable.

I am crazy or something but stock rom moves smoother than any custom rom or I am doing something wrong when I m installing custom rom.

I had stock LP ROM with only deodex and xposed running and it was never as smooth as Nougat...
