5.1.x-caf branch - SlimRoms Q&A

Hello, i want to know if 5.1.x-caf branch is planned in near future?
I want to compile SLIM for my device but now, when android 5.1.1 is available i don't want to make 5.0.2 ROM.
SLIM is one of my favourites ROM from previous device (i made unofficial 4.2.2, 4.3.1 and 4.4 builds).

Is there any stable version of CM (or any rom) for I9500?

Hello
I am fed up of the TouchWiz look and feel.
I want to stay closest to AOSP in look and feel, apps, etc.
All Android 4.3 and 4.4 versions posted on XDA have some or the other bugs for I9500 (in both Android development and Android Original development)
When I checked CM downloads. there is one 10.2 stable build for I9505 (Officially supported) on their site.
All unofficial builds are ported on XDA, and I9500 is an unofficial device for CM.
For I9500, on XDA, we have both CM 10.2 nightlies and CM 11 nightlies. But none of them have any stable builds.
Also, no AOKP, Slim, etc.
Where can I get a pure AOSP look and feel kind of ROM. Even Android 4.2.2 will also do.

[Q] Which Cyanogenmod To Get

So I'm looking forward to get Cyanogenmod on my S4 (i9505). Well the question is which Version I should get: CM12, CM11 or CM10. According to Cyanogenmod, some CM10 Version is the actual release Version, but for me Android 4.3 is too old (running lollipop custom rom atm). I was browsing xda and I found these Versions:
1. Unofficial CM12.1 (Android: 5.1): http://goo.gl/itgzzV
It's an unofficial Version Optimized by some really popular Devs on xda.
2. Unofficial CM12: http://goo.gl/xK7x52
This one is an optimized CM12 of the same Devs with the CM12.1 project
3. Official CM12 nightlies: http://goo.gl/LtKtcG
4. Optimized CM12: http://goo.gl/PZ8AkO
This is an optimized version of CM12 in terms of speed
So these are just some CM12 Roms, which one should I get and why? If you have other suggestions pls list them, I will include them as well in this thread or make a list of all Cyanogenmod Versions for the i9505.
Thanks for reading through this thread and thanks for all answers
Hello mate,
I'm the developer of the first two and official maintainer of the third, as you can notice yourself. Firstly, I want to correct:
-except official CM12 nightlies, all the other three are unofficial: one is Optimized CM12.1, one Optimized CM12 and the last one is SaberMod CM12
My suggestion is to not install CM12.1 for now as daily driver since it's unstable (audio issues in calls) and I need time to fix.
The best thing would be to try out both three and choose to keep the one which suits more your needs
Inviato dal mio GT-I9505
I have flashed only 2 roms on my device. GPE and the optimized builds by AntaresOne.
The optimzed builds are pretty fast and stable, but there are some bugs and issues.
On the latest CM12 optimized build, for instance, I can't move apps to SD. It says that I don't have enough space. And there are some issues with restoring apps using titanium backup.
I don't know how stable and bug-free the nightlies are, but I don't think they compare to the other CM12 in terms of speed and resource usage. There is a reason why they put "Optimzed" in the thread title
It depends mostly on what you want and what you're looking for in a rom.

Recent [KERNEL] for Chroma [6.0.1] _r62 ROM for N4

It seems Chroma is no longer developed and the kernel is getting old without security updates. How do I know what actively developed kernel is compatible with that ROM? Thanks for any feedback.
Since Chroma rom is a AOSP based rom, you can use whatever AOSP kernel you like. You can try Quanta kernel (v20). I'm using it on Dirty Unicorn rom since 2 months
Thank you very much. So the first is to find the base ROM, AOSP for Chroma. Also, is it correct to assume I have to pick an AOSP kernel for marshmallow (if they have for all of the Android variants)?
Nevermind: It is in Quanta's page for kernel v20:
"This kernel is made for Android 5.1 (Lollipop) up to Android 6.0. (Marshmallow)"
Thanks again.

I need the 4.4.4 CM11 ROM

I hate Android 5+ so damn much but the CM download page is down for whatever reason (503). Does anyone have a copy of the CM 11 ROM for the USC Galaxy S5?
Here's one for plain KLTE. I just searched cm 11 snapshot klte. Try that for your device.

EDIT: And here is an unofficial build of cm-11 temasek for klteusc.

Thanks, will try them.
I hate most of the new Android versions and my S4 runs happily on 4.4.4. My S5 is running a 6.0.1 version of SlimRom, which is quite awful, but it's better than anything else I tried.
Honestly I'll probably use KitKat until it's officially depreciated by Google.
4.3 has the best customisation support, literally anything can be customized. I had 4.3 on an LG P505 and it was awesome, but 4.4.4 was probably the best version of Android ever released.
Give this a try. Hope it helps.

[Q] Ask about MIUI 8 port based on GPE 5.1 or TW 5.0.1 stocks.

Hello to all devs for i9505!
Can anyone make ROM based on lastest GPE 5.1 stock or TW 5.0.1 stock with MIUI 8 by patchrom tools? Why it's must be GPE or TW? Coz only stock roms are working properly and fully functional. There is no FCs, all sensors are working fine, no battery drains etc.
I have already tested a lot of Roms from 4.2 to 8.1 based on LOS/AOSP/TW/GPE and can say, that only LOS 4.x, GPE 4.x/5.x, TW 4.x,5.x is working fine. There are some bugs in AOSP/LOS from 6.x to 8.x such as non properly working sensors, camera (low bitrate, not working HDR etc.), microphone... It is good for testing, discovery something new in Android, but it is not good for daily usage.
The best choice for now (in my opinion) is using stock based Roms 4.x/5.x.
And I ask for devs - Can someone make MIUI8 rom based on lastest QG1 TW Rom or GPE 5.1 Rom?
P.S.
There are MIUI5 Roms based on TW 4.x or CM11 in the past by Shiro and Rainbow. I ask something similar but based on stocks 5.x Roms.
