CM11S from OnePlus One compared to CM11.

Hi there, i created this thread because i would like to know (as a freind of mine just got the brand new HTC OnePlus One) if there is a way to port his rom "CM11S" to our phone as he already run CM11.
In fact, i really like the apparence of the rom, sure it's Holo launcher with kitkat status bar, but it's not exactly the same we frequently saw.
And i like the blury lockscren or the "gestures support" that when the phone is lock, just double tap the screen make the phone awake or when he's lock, simply draw a V shape and boom the torch lights up.
Or the "fast reboot" botton on the extended power menu and the CPU frequency which we can set natively.
Surely it's just some features and nothing else but for me it's just super freakin' handy.
I think i found the rom he uses : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-cyanogenmod-11s-4-4-4-int-l-att-t-t2822636
So here it is guys, i hope we can have theses features on our phone too !
Thanks !

You can port any rom if you have a base but it's easier if the port rom is the same resolution & the same cpu type otherwise it's just too much hassle
As with the features well
Tap to wake will be a kernel feature so no point in porting a rom as that won't work - it will also drain the battery
Quick reboot just use a widget instead

You can set cpu frequency using an app like no frills cpu
Blurred lockscreen there are guides please search
As with gestures I'm guessing this is a launcher feature
You will have to find a launcher that has gesture controls or a 3rd party app that integrates gesture support
For example nova launcher supports gestures but I don't know if this is compatible with galaxy y

Nova launcher works with cm9 or cm11 galaxy y

Landscape mode not rotating the screen

Hi everybody, my experience with my s7 edge it's been amazing so far until I faced a problem with rotation . The phone rotation works great with system apps and some 3rd party apps (almost all apps but not including games) if I use for example gallery on landscape it will rotate to the direction that I want , but when I'm using a game , I tested more than 10 games that only work on landscape and the screen won't rotate , by default it's on the left orientation I find this very frustrating because I'm always listening music with headphone and I'm more comfortable using my phone on landscape on the right side orientation, any suggestions? Yes I have auto rotate enabled !

3rd party applications comparability

Hello
I was very much interested in LG G6 and have even ordered it once in eBay yesterday and cancelled it after getting to know one information none of the reviewers have pointed it out.
I have heard that most of the 3rd party applications would show black border even in portrait mode because of the aspect ratio difference.
But I was also been told that applications would automatically utilise the entire screen at least in portrait mode.
I have also heard that LG provided scaling function is not of great help as well.
I am from India and I am not sure how much time it would take for the developers here to update their application for a new screen aspect ratio.
Please provide your valuable inputs.
I am upgrading from Nexus 5x

This model released just 4 months ago so expect little delay with specific apps but LG's scaling works fairly well in standard apps, I would say stick with ur current phone for few months.

Thanks for your kind reply.
I am using the mobile phone mostly for applications and in portrait mode itself and would watch YouTube videos also.
I am not using the mobile phone for gaming.
Can you please post some photos of the scaled applications ?
I heard that the navigation bar would be in black colour even when an application scaled.
Are all Google applications and prominent 3rd party applications support the 18:9 aspect ratio?

yes the navigation bar does turn black but it will be hidden under the app your are using in full screen and pull down on noti panel will bring back the navi buttons, so if u watch YouTube videos after scaling u won't see any back bar while in full screen.

You mean I won't see black borders while youtubing in fullscreen?

yes but only if the content is in 18:9 format, lets say if u resize YouTube app and the video is also coded in 18:9 format then the bar will be hidden, at least that's my experience on couple of occasions so far.
