This Spaceballs scene comes to mind.
Before I go digging in and determining what the difference between each of these CM13 based ROMs - I was curious if any of you might be more acqauinted with these and willing to offer some insight. Please forgive my ignorance, but I am curious as to what the main differences between each of these ROMs. From what I can tell, some of the 'unique' features of some of them, are also unadvertised features of the other ROMs...?
Quick list
* AICP
* Bliss Rom
* Beanstalk v6.0.6
I will continue digging and will document my findings here.

Hey guys, sorry if this is an obvious question.
I'm trying to get my facts straight on the various CyanogenMod builds.
1.) First, what is going on with Official CyanogenMod and HD2/Leo? Are we in the process of transitioning to "Experimental" (a la the Galaxy S)? There is HD2 specific code in the github repository, but no official support? From reading the "unofficial nightly" thread, it sounds like certain steps are being taken to ensure the HD2 code is in compliance with various programming practices required by CyanogenMod devs? Is this explanation anywhere close to the current state of things? Will the HD2 eventually get a subforum with Experimental (and eventually Stable) downloads in the CM forums? Or, as others have said, will our WinMo base prevent official support from ever happening?
2.) Just to confirm -- the unofficial nightly build is more of an actual "from the ground up" build, whereas the other ROMs are derivatives of other builds? Is there any easy explanation of the differences that someone with some slight programming exposure might understand?
Thanks in advance for any advice you might have to offer.
EDIT: P.S. Please don't take this as "Why don't we have .... yet?" whining. I'm just trying to wrap my head around the whole AOSP/Cyanogenmod issue.
I posted irresponsibly. Sorry dudes!

Support
We spend an astonishing amount of time developing this software. We can't spend much time on XDA as a result, so if you need support, please try the following:
1) Search. Search, search, search. Yes, you. I don't care how unique or important your question is, it's very likely someone has adressed it already. Especially if you're even close to new at this.
2) Read our FAQ, which can be found on our website. Carbon FAQ
3) Ask a question in your device forum. Someone will no doubt try to help you. Warning: this help may come in the form of telling you it's a dumb question that has been asked before. See step 1 - such are the perils of asking questions when you haven't done the research yourself. Android is about helping yourself.
4) Ask a question on our IRC channel. Connect to #teamcarbon on irc.freenode.net or click here. You'll find several other Carbon fans and usually one or more devs as well. Please be polite.

WOWWW you are back! I thought this phone was already forgotten. Let me try this on my old t599n with stock laggy tw 4.1.2 with internal memory for only 2 or 3 apps.
Can't wait for MM rom.
Great work and welcome back!!
Update: Hi @Meticulus , I am using this rom and I like it. I got just some little issues:
First: Is the Carbon sources updated? I ask this because i see in my language (portuguese) there are lot of words not translated (when i was on cm 12.1 in my s5 didnt face this issue), i see that the security patch is November 2015 (a bit old no?)
Second: I don't know why but i can't install facebook... it took like 5 minutes to install and then it fails with error -504 on playstore
BTW great work man, I really wanna try your CM 13 on this machine
Keep it up
If anyone is reading this, I've noticed http://www.meticulus.co.vu is down (probably for years). Is there any way to obtain the 5.11 Carbon ROM ? I have two old T599N devices that I want to "resurrect/upgrade". I've googled a lot but could not find any download links for the 5.1.1 Carbon ROM created by Meticulus for this device. I also tried searching for this in DC hubs but without success. Thank you!
I've seen a lot of new ROMs popping up for the Le Pro3. This is excellent as it's such an underrated device, especially the X727 variant in the US.
I notice that all builds are unofficial versions of a few popular ROMs. Is it possible that any existing developers will create an official build for our device? How can we go about spreading the word and hopefully getting official support of ROMs such as LineageOS, etc?
This would really help to bring more developers to LeEco and open the door for new projects and improved unofficial builds.

I think devices have to be popular enough to get official builds. I'd love to see a Carbon ROM pop up here soon.
Jep, can recommend Turbo's Rom, pretty cool
whats the difference between the two maintainer and builder?
there are a lot of nougat roms but they are all not official...as far as i understand because there ie no maintainer. but there are builder. so whats the difference.
almost every s model including the minis have official nougat
Maintainer is a developer, somebody that actually knows programming and also has some experience with it. He or she is the one that fixes device specific bugs.
A builder is just that, somebody that builds the ROMs. Anyone can build a ROM, it doesn't require any programming knowledge.
And there are various guides on how to do it too, you only need a Linux system with decent performance, otherwise it might take some hours only to build one ROM zip.
The Maintainer job is purely a voluntary one. So somebody has to volunteer to become the Lineage maintainer for the S4. But this is not all. He or she also needs to be accepted by the Lineage team, because they don't just take anyone. You need some experience for it.
Another reason we have no official Nougat is because there are still some bugs (such as the reboot bug) and the Lineage team doesn't accept that from what I heard. Oh, and they want cleaner code too.
So yeah, I don't know if he will have any official Nougat any time soon, if ever.
But just because we don't have official Nougat doesn't mean we don't have developers. We still have some people that do some developing for the S4.
Hi, guys!
I saw there is already a thread about this, but it is quite outdated so I decided to start a new one. So since there would most probably NOT be an update to Nougat for our phones, I plan installing a custom rom, but since I am a newbie in this field I decided to ask for opinions. Honestly I am mostly attracted by the LineageOS 14.1/15 as successor of the CM, but there may be better options. I found some threads about LineageOS 15 been released but the link for our phones has been removed, reasons unknown. The 14.1 seems quite stable and with good reviews. But nevertheless please share your experience with any custom roms that you have, also please share whether G4 specific features like the double tap to lock/unlock the screen work with it?
If relevant I have a h815 model.
Thank you,
It is personal. You can ask that what do you use custom rom or why do you use LOS etc.
You will get more answers like this way.
