UK GT-I9505: Is there a Cyanogenmod 12 or 12.1 nightly?

I'll admit I get completely baffled with all the S4 variants.
1. Put simply is there a UK GT-I9505 Cyanogenmod 12 or 12.1 nightly?
2. What's device name to Cyanogenmod call it?
My GT-I9505 is from Everything Everywhere in the UK (who still haven't released lollipop).
Thanks

1. Yes.
2. jfltexx.

Perfect. Thanks.
jfltexx Snapshots stopped in February 2014 with M3. Which is weird as my LG G Pad last got a stable build in November 2014 with M12. That's a bit worrying if I want a stable/reliable CM build.
p.s. Stable being used generally. I'm aware CM used to use Stable as a specific naming convention.

Nightlies are more stable then the snapshots. So don't let naming misguide you. Just go for either the nightlies or the one in my signature. Ps go for the 12.1 branch, more stable then the 12 branch.

Really?
I thought the whole point was Stables were signed off?
Nightlies also updated daily which is bewildering. I just want a stable Android 5.1 release really. I'm not especially interested in the "cutting edge".
Thanks

The thing is: a rom may work perfectly for me and for you it gives various problems.
Bugs vary from device to device.
For instance, most roms I have tried on my device have worked perfectly (Thankfully).
But I saw other people who reported various issues with the same rom.
You will have to try for yourself.
the GPE rom by Danvdh is one of the most stable roms I have tried. It's still 5.0.1 though.
Resurrection Remix with Alucard kernel also works fine for me.
You might also try FlexOS. People say it has nice battery life.
AICP was also stable for me.
SaberMod CM12.1 stable too. But haven't tried it for some time.
They are all based on CM12.1.
You might also try the official CM12.1 Optimized build.

I'd rather stick with a stable ROM that's been signed off and had some quality control applied to it for that very reason. I prefer to just install a ROM and be done with it (maybe upgrading every now and again OTA) .
Like you say otherwise you could be fine (probably) or maybe not.

Interesting idea. Is this much more optimised for the S4 than the regular CM12.1 nightlies?
Being a fork isn't there a chance it'll get out of sync with the CM12.1 nightlies?
Thanks for the info on the other ROMs.

The optimized builds are developed by the same developer as the nightlies for the s4. So they pretty much go head to head.

Oh nice thanks.
Do the latest CM12.1 nightlies have the ability to turn the S4 legacy Menu button into an App-Switcher button? It's irritating having to hold down the Home button to switch between apps.
Lastly, is there anything major left in CM11 not in CM12.1 now? Is there a list somewhere?
I understand missing features is one of the reasons a CM12.1 Snapshot hasn't been released.

Seeing as android M is close development for CM12.1 will stop at some point and CM13 will start.

+1 for the CM12.1 Optimized build. I had low mobile signal which resulting in big battery drain in the otherwise awesome Danvdh 5.0.1 GPE rom. Had to ditch it.

Thanks for this.
Why are the optimized builds so far behind? The latest CM12.1 optimized build for the S4 looks to be 2015-06-16 but there's a regular CM12.1 nightly dated 2015-06-25.

What ROM will you suggest?

Hi guys,
my wife's phone died, so I found my brother's old nexus s. With official ROM it's kind of slow, so is there any custom ROM you will suggest to install? As long as is fast and stable, that's fine
Thx

There's a chart for that...
For my mom (she has my ns) I put jellybean 4.1.2 jz054m on it with the aosp 3.0.71 aosp devil kernel.. No features, but xposed is a thing.. Before I shipped it I tested it at 7days standby time or 3-4hrs sot.. Not fast, but for crespo it is.. 284/283 on geekbench..

Thx mate, will try it later today

I find Cyanogen 11 quite usable. There are "nightly" versions that even contain security updates from 2016. Older Android versions might be attackable due to various security holes.

I would install Nexus S Nightly build: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=crespo
For Google Play you'll need CM 11 "small" gapps.
Basically Android 4.4.4 with the Android Security Bulletins patched in. Just checked with AndroidVTS. And according to the app cm-11-20160523 is still vulnerable to CVE-2015-3636 (nasty apps can gain root) and CVE-2015-6616.
I might take a stab at getting that patched. But I have no clue where to go, since the Cyanogenmod JIRA bug tracker doesn't even contain a 'crespo' device anymore.

I already complained about that (See http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/development/unable-to-create-bug-report-cm11-jira-t3357978). It seems that CM11 has been more or less been abandoned by Cyanogen, and the "nightly builds" run unattendedly. Maybe the only way to really remove bugs or improve the system is to get the source code and run the compiler.

Resurrection Remix for n5110, n5100 & n5120 - all released!

The n5110, n5100 and n5120 builds are now all released here
New screenshots from a clean no gapps install, showing some built in features.

I'm in
UPD: Ooops! I've got n5100 only.

I might give it a shot, I have an old GT N 5110 lying around.

yup, sorry, N5110 only.

According to your attachment you have the exact same model as me.

yes VGchat you are 'in', have PM'd you and I will get you instructions and a dropbox link to download later tonight.
I should also say that this rom is basically CM13 with RR built on top and is a stable as CM13 currently is on N5110 (that is VERY stable).

So far I just got it installed. I notice it's still CM warm, it's a tad toasty compared to CivZ rom I had on previously and compared to other CM13 roms for this device, the heat trend continues on the underside. Which cpu governer would work best with this tablet for battery life/performance/stability?
Youtube seems to run perfectly.
Stylus support is detecting and interacting with the Stylus just fine.
There is a faint bit of static feedback now & then from Bejeweled Stars but it plays better than it did on CivZ rom. Less laggy.
Overall the UI is pretty fast & smooth.
There doesn't seem to be any GPS issues. One Weather can find my location just fine.
I'm not sure how demanding a game this one is but Giant Boulder of Death pushes this tablet to it's limits almost. Noticeable input lag sometimes and music lag is definitely noticeable.
There is a issue with video recording. It will not do it, instead it spits out an error about it as you mentioned in your PM. However it can take pictures.

Thanks VGchat for your comments.
Video recording not working comes from CM13 I'm sure. Everything else sounds pretty good.
Unkilled runs pretty well in game for me, though cutscenes are a little stuttery.
The heat issue I'm hoping is just from initial setup, cataloguing media files etc. and will have settled in a couple of days.
I don't know what governor would be recommended, it seems to use pegasusq by default.
I will try Boeffla kernel over the weekend, which should work as it does with equivalent CM13.
I'll look to making a release thread at the start of next week, if anyone wants it before just PM me.

Maybe you'll be able to fix the camera issue with this thread, GL.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/fix-bug-fixing-bugs-porting-custom-roms-t2909599

N5100 version
I have also made an N5100 version and passed to A_sh_ to see if it runs...
I have also confirmed by restoring my backup that the video problem originates in CM13.

If you need a N5100 tester you can count me in. Running RR on my bacon

So long as you keep Boeffla seperate from the rom, I'll be fine with that. I never did care much for Boeffla Kernel on my Note 8. (I tried it on the civz rom and the other popular cm13 rom, with less then impressive results). I think the Kernel Adiutor is working pretty good for this rom.

You mean when N / CM14 comes about?
Depends on what RR team do and whether an official / unofficial CM14 is made for Note 8.0 or whether MM is the end of the line...
I'm sure RR will continue with N as they have been going since ICS.
If I still have the tablet, want to keep updating it and am able to continue, then I will.

N5120
Wot no N5120 requests yet???
I have an N5120 build also sitting waiting on AFH for a beta tester to come along and gobble it up..

It would be great if you update it to N, but I was simply talking about CM 13,when new nightly are released.

Ah! I initially thought you meant nightlies then thought nah, gotta be N you're enquiring about...
Yes to nightlies - the beta testers have had 2 nightlies so far.
I can usually find time to make 2 builds per night every couple of nights. Builds take my laptop around an hour each (8 core i7..).
Current builds with testers, which will hopefully be released, were synced at about 7pm uk time on the 20th and include all CM changes up to "you are now a developer" which I felt was the ideal point to call it a release ????
https://www.cmxlog.com/13/n5110
If you want access now just follow me on android file host and I will add you to the beta group.

Thanks for your answer. Of course I didn't think you could update the Rom every CM nightly, I was just wondering if it's easy for you to update sometimes without having to work too much. I can't be a beta tester at the moment, but I'm thinking of trying a new Rom sooner or later: I'm still using a kitkat firmware and, after some years, I feel a little bored

You don't grab specifically by nightlies, just the latest on what is there for both CM and RR. To grab and make a new build it is just 3 command line commands. Once you are setup it is very easy.

OPTIONS for MANTA after LOS 13 KILLED

Now that the lineageOS team has stopped LOS 13 updates for manta, what other ROMs work well? Ones that include monthly security updates and are stable (enough)?

Yeah, not only that but the latest OTA is hot garbage. Why use the new kernel if it offers no noticeable improvements and only introduces a huge regression bug (buggy audio jack)?
Monthely security updates?
you have a 2012 tablet, give that dream up now.
Stable?
A quick peep in the android developement gives that away. Some of my favorites for Nexus 10: Phoenix OS, Remix OS, Omnirom 6.0.1 (tablet navbar support!!!)
My personal reccomendation?
Phoenix OS. It has a great tablet UI and allows you to switch to normal phablet UI whenever, and doesn't murder your battery like Remix OS.

Im using latest LOS 13 and it has gotten way better then the nightlies before
even audio jack works.
i thnk i will stick to that for the next time

@ Galaxyninja66
I haven't move from Jan update to the last Feb nightly yet,...
but I disagree... Yes, I agree if the older Kernel is stable and secure, no need to update. Disagree because, none of the ones you mentioned, have the latest ASB fixes included. @followmsi is going to keep this going not sure for how long... he has four versions going... 14.1 and 15.1 based on AOSP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-10/development/rom-t3584526 AND AND 14.1 and 15.1 based on LineageOS: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-10/development/rom-lineage-14-1-20170216-unofficial-t3557735, which also includes instructions to revert back to the old kernel for audio fix... unless I am mistaken!
Thanks for the info on RemixOS versus PhoenixOS... I did not however see PhoenixOS on manta android development... page 1.

Lineage version 20170509 seems to fit. Flash via TWRP, wipe cache/dalvik. At first start I had 2-3 reboots but after optimisation with sd maid it works fine for me.

Using it as a Hybris base, and I can't find the kernel commit that broke the headphone jack so I am angry. Also its not that you *can* just flash the old kernel, it's that you *have* to flash the old kernel. If most people are just flashing the old kernel why even use the updated one? That's like me releasing an update to an office application that forces you to restart the app every time you want to switch orientation, and offering an older version of the app for people who don't like this.

Did that, but with this kernel i do not have hw decoder support. At least audio jack works.. thanks

I moved to Nexus Pure Android ROM 7.1.2 and it is amazing. So fast, smooth, audio jack works, hw decoding as well.. so far way better than LineageOS 13 or 15.1.

Now if that camera works, I'm gonna believe every single word you say.

I have not say anything about camera. I never wanted/needed camera to be working. I prefer fast and stable system for youtube, movies watching and for that Nexus Pure ROM is amazing. You should try.

I'm a total noob with an old Nexus 10. I'd like to put something new on it. Nice it would be to have more Linux-like capabilities, but not absolutely necessary. This thread has given me hope, but as a total noob you're talking over my head. What would you folks suggest?

The problem is that when I build hybris-hal with the busted up kernel it breaks pulseaudio, and in order to apply a patch I shouldn't even need to apply, i not only have to rebuild hybris-hal with the old kernel, I have to build a new base rom with it. so no, it is not as easy as just "flashing the new kernel over the LOS install" and frankly, if the new kernel breaks more than it fixes, then we shouldn't upgrade, if anything, the NEW kernel should be the optional one.

Which one is currently (Oct-2018) the best XT907 Custom ROM to use?

Good afternoon!
Well, after being loyal to this Motorola for a couple years, I finally got on my hands a XT907 with Android 4.1 (that means I can unlock bootloader for free! YAY!)
Since something like January 2017, I want to have a higher Android version on a Motorola RAZR M. Back then, I had a couple ROMs on a list what I wanted to test. However, I got a XT907 capable of this 22 months later
So, now what we are on 2018 and things evolved a lot, I want to hear suggestions: Which one is, for you, right now, the best Custom ROM to use for a daily use? That means this XT907 will be my principal phone, so I'll use from Office Suite to Hotspot (Short words: I need a ROM fully functional).
Thanks in advance :highfive:

I have recently flashed CRDroid Android 7.1.2 shared by DiamondJohn, it looks great with Overclocking and extra customization, so far there is no bug apparently, and being on unlocked bootloader means you can switch to any rom after testing, i had cm 12.1 before this which restart it self randomly after somedays, so def Android 7.1.2 is so faar good one.

I see. I just installed to my mother XT912 LineageOS 14.1, and that is my first experience seeing a non-stock ROM on a Motorola hahaha
Just wondering: You need to overclock CRDroid Android 7.1.2 for it to run smoothly? Or I can just install it to run it well?
I don't have much experience going deeper on customization. The farthest I have went is Xposed Framework in Motorola, and Custom ROM/Kernel in Samsung

Hows your battery so far ?
i was using CrDroid 7.1.2 , but as everyone know Lineage OS 14.1 and all other Nougat Rom have problems with battery calibration on our devices so i reverted back to Marshmallow Lineage OS 13, so far battery is working alright but not as good as Lollipop, so i might revert back to Kitkat Bootloader and then CM 12.1 after somedays.
