Anyone running cyanogenmod as a primary ROM on a Nexus 5--
Why did CyanogenMOD fork?
What features do you enjoy using on this ROM?
What are the advantages of using this ROM over stock or modified AOSP?
I don't ?
You may want to check Wikipedia. It's been a custom ROM for almost as long as Android has been around.
The short of it is they're tinkerers just like any other custom ROM. You get a lot of features not found on the stock ROM and bug fixes literally nightly- if they are merged in from AOSP, other 3rd party forks, and enthusiasts- and they're immediately available in the next nightly update. I really don't know how to answer your question because there's technical advantages, feature advantages... If you want to root make a backup of your ROM and try a few. You'll figure things out quickly.

Hello members,
First of all I'm new here and my English can be a bit bad, sorry for that.
My question is probably already asked but I couldn't find it, a link to the thread will be helpful.
So what is the problem?
I want to install a custom rom but I don't really know how to do it.
First of all:
- I have an Samsung Galaxy S Plus.
- I want a Custom rom that is working properly and bug free for 99.9%
- I am not an complete noob, I know how to flash with Odin, Root my phone, etc. etc.
I have already done some research, but must I do a Hard Reset to install a new rom? Can I get my applications and personal settings back? (I made a back up) How do I get it back?
Which Custom rom's are almost bug free?
-Broodrom Rc5?
-Cranium Rc9?
- Others?
Thank you for helping me:good:,
At-
PS: Again sorry for the bad grammar.

Hi my friend. I also own a i9001.
1. There are some different kinds of roms. do you like Cyannomgen or Aokp based rom for 4.0.4 or a gingerbread rom (2.3.6) with launchers and kernels with overclock or underlock.
2. Gigabread is the best rom for me. It is 2.3.6. and it has every rom's best specs.
3. untill now has released CM9 build 7 and CM9 beta 2 by ivendor wich are very smooth and have fixed camera bugs ( not everything)
I dont like 2.3.6.custom roms with ics launcher because i think that they are heavy for our device and eat a lot of Ram memory....

I like both Cynagen and Aokp. I also like a rom based on 4.0.4 more than 2.3.6.
Can you tell me more about the different rom's and how to install them?
Every version of 4.0.4. is based on CM9 or aokp, but dev have put their own changes. And when there is a new version of cm9 or aokp they update their roms. If u want a rom based on i9300 I strongly recomend you Rem-ICS, a different 4.0.4 Paranoid. There are and some others roms, whicj I have not tried, but only minnor differences there are. Paranoid and Rem thre are th most famous and on other devices.
However there are a lot of option on Roms. Check them out at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1270
Installation of cm9 or aokp rom.
1. You will need custom recovery for cm9: twrp or CMW5 or CMW6
2. Wipe data and cache.
3. Flash update*.zip.
4. Flash gapps*.zip. You must flash gapps after every upgrade to CM9 since /system is formatted, wiping your previous add-ons.
5. Reboot phone.
6. After you setup your Google account, reinstall the three apps from Market in order to restore most of your apps, call log and SMS history.
Don't use titan back up.

Fist of all, read the wiki:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001
Then you have to install a custom recovery, you can follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776095
With this urls u will understand how dev is working. Inspite of the fact that they are for gingerbread they are very usesful for a beginer..
But cynomgen is very is to instal and to use..

I can really really recommend the CM9 ICS ROMs by arco and ivendor. Check their respective threads to see if the remaining bugs affect you and if they don't or hardly do use these versions instead of modded stock ROM.
I currently have arco's Alpha 7 installed and it's so much better than the Gingerbread Samsung firmwares, even the debloated ones.
I agree with you. I think that only gigabread is the best modifited 2.3.6. The others 2.3.6 use launchers like halo, go and I think that they are lagy.. So try a 4.0.4 and since the last edition of cm9 only fm radio is not working. Usb tethering is improved and 80% of camera is working...
However a bug is battery life, and if you use a lot wifi and 3g it will drain a lot of battery

Thank you guys, i'm going to install cm9!
Edit: What are the difference between cm 7.2 and 9? I can't see any differences on videos.
Cm 7.2 is stock based?
Cm9 is based on 4.0.4 and cm7 is based on 2.3.7. Install cm9.not cm7...

Hi,
Read the [OP] of each one.
Better still,make a nandroid backup of your current ROM,and flash the ROM you are inquiring about.
You are the only one who can judge how good a ROM is.

I'm with you...
CyanogenMod 10 is undergoing rapid changes, sometimes newer builds break some function in older builds (e.g. mms). Hard to make conclusion based on that. Imo if you want stability, use ViperS as daily driver. Make nandroid backups of your ViperS before installing CM10, of course.
Matter of Personal Preference!
As our friend malybru said, you have to flash both ROMs then decide for yourself. I have flashed and tested many ROMs myself. Gotta admit it's a matter of personal preference after all.
I come from ARHD. Now I'm using bruce's CM10 Android 4.1.2 latest build (October 27, 2012). This "IS" by far the fastest, most complete, most advanced Custom ROM I have ever used. WIth V6 Supercharger and latest version of GApps, It's amazing how everything works perfect with this ROM.
As you already know, CM10 is an AOSP Based ROM, where m0narx's ViperS is Sense Based.
VipersS uses Android 4.0.3 ICS as it's core system + Sense UI 4.1. This is an amazing Sense Based ROM.
CM10 uses Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and it's PURE Android. IMO this one is more advanced and it's faster + I love AOSP UI.
Both ROMs get updates now and then, but again remember that CM10 is under ongoing development. So speaking of "Daily Driver" this might not be a wise choice, unless you like to test and experience.
Both ROMs are rooted and highly customizable. Flash both of them and you'll know.
What is the difference between using a custom rom like Mildwild versus using a launcher with Cynanogenmod 7.2?
A launcher is just a simple app. It is only the "home screen." Non rooted users can install them
A custom ROM is a full OS, usually is tweaked to make the entire phone faster, have better battery life, more features etc.

If you don't feel up to the challenge of flashing a custom ROM, then a launcher is a nice alternative and can make a stock ROM seem much smoother (I know it sure did with my old Galaxy S), but a good custom ROM will always give you better results, as it has been tweaked with and most of the time will have all the junk stripped out of it.
Hope that tells you what you need to know
Hello in my opinion the difference in Launcers and Custom ROMs is high the developers of custom roms take features from other roms and they made one rom but there it have some bugs by the way they fix them. but Launchers is the official firmware in the device probably some lags but no bugs camera-sound-call and etc I prefer custom rom because is lighter than official one
Thanks guys
I'm running Mildwild now.
But Cyanogenmod (with a launcher) vs Mildwild? whats the difference?
Cyanogenmod is a full OS that I can run on my HTC desire, Mildwild is also a full OS? What does someone like Mildwild do to Cyanogenmod?
Sorry, I just don't get it.

Mildwild is a ROM, correct? I googled and found it is a ROM based off CM, so I'm guessing the developer took CM for your device, tweaked it a bunch, and released it under Mildwild (of course giving proper credits by saying it's based off CM).
Maybe that will clear it up for you

Just don't mix launchers with custom Roms!
They have a vast difference to be compared!
Simple eg :
Custom Rom can have launchers in it! Included
Launcher cannot have custom Rom in it!
Launcher is a small part!

Check out Original Android Development and Android Development sections and look for [5.1.1] tag in the thread(topic) title.
You can install any of them who has this title provided you first look at their flashing procedure mentioned in those threads.
General flashing procedure >> forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471
Try ressurection remix its one of the most stable custom rom and its updated regularly,look for it in android development.
Blisspop and resurrection remix are my all time favourite. Currently in love with smartisan os. (not cyanogen based)
I would suggest using Slimsaber CAF as i'm using it as a daily driver and it's stable. But there are plethora of roms on xda and you can try all of them to find which one suits you the best. Hoenstly, it's all a matter of personal preference and choice. Slimsaber apparently is a stable and "necessary-feature" proof rom. I'm sure you'll like it.
You should try also Sultan's Rom. It's maybe the best Rom for OPO (the 5.1.1 / cm12.1).
If your really adventurous, you could try Sultan's unofficial cm13.0. I'm using it for a daily driver. But, now you can try anything out there since your rooted.

For smooth stable experience go cm 12.1/5.1.1, if u want latest mm then there are some 6.0/cm 13 ROM out also.
and +1 for sultan's ROM. exodus is also good.
Sultans cm13
I second sultans version of CM 13. Its working flawlessly. The snapdragon camera is amazing.
You'll definitely learn a lot about your phone when you start flashing ROMs. Backup often.

Hey there
Mine was also a newly rooted opo just 10days back. The roms I tried in this days where 4. According to my ranking
1.Blisspop
2.Carbon Rom
3.Resurrection remix
4.CM 13.0 (if you want to get a new experience of MM.)
Never tried cm12.1 though. I love customizations and stock cm12.1 doesn't have much.

Depends. If you want the regular cm feel go for sultans rom. I really liked it, but it has just about the same looks as mostly every other. It does have some solid cherry picks that set it ahead of the competition.
However, if you want to try something a bit different but also really well made, try miui 7. This is by far my favourite at the moment. Has official oneplus one support. It's a 4.4.4 rom though but I don't care about that. I actually have way better battery life on 4.4.4 and the miui7 feels like a complete product while being beautiful.
If you do, be sure to follow instructions not to have odd problems due to missed steps during install.

I think right now, its SultanXDA, MM.
The battery life in L, was a nightmare, solved on MM. Of course, MM need some time, but the best way to have it perfect earlier possible its helping to the developers finding the bugs.
If you don't want a alpha the Sultan's 5.11 its really nice too.
Hey, I can't a find a clean and stable aosp rom for bacon that suits my needs, so I want to build my own. But I need help, I havent built roms before. Only compiled another custom rom once.
Would compiling aosp (+ caf & cm to make it work?) for bacon require much programming skills?
I would be very grateful if someone would assist me in making of the rom, or at least point me in the right direction.
I would only need some very basic custom features in the rom. (clear all recents, cm snap camera ...)
I have Ubuntu 15.04 with a little over 100gb of free space, installed as dual boot besides windows 10-
Thank you.
Also please do not recommend other "aosp" roms in this thread for me to download and install, I want to make my own.
If you want a nexus experience I can recommend AOSP-CAF you . It is basicly barebone AOSP without any additional features.

So I can compile that? or is there already a build download? Could I base my ROM off of this?

AOSP rom for bacon would basically mean cyanogenmod without cyanogenmod features, so reading your requirements i say you try the AOSP CAF rom or the Krexus rom, both the roms fit yuor requirements (read their respective threads). good luck

so you're saying those roms are Cyanogenmod huh?
I found this ROM http://downloads.techexhibeo.ski/Android/LegacyServer/aosp-mm6.0.1-20160621-bacon.zip, I don't know who is the creator of it, but it is great. The perfect aosp rom for bacon. I'm using it now, seems very stable too. I recommend it for anyone who wants a clean aosp experience.
