[Completed] [Q] cm 11 vs cm 12 what's the difference? - XDA Assist

Hi , I'm entirely new to this rooting & custom rom thing I have the sony xperia m c1904 model. Since sony stopped updating it any further from Android 4.3 I've been researching a little & found a little about cyanogenmod developers so what exactly cyanogenmod 12 differs from cyanogenmod 11 . I've heard it's still in beta or nightly stage so what's more I'll get apart from android 5.0 why cyanogenmod 12 matters? Please explain.....

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. The difference between those two versions is as follows:
CM11 is based off Android 4.4.x KitKat
CM12 is based off Android 5.0.x Lollipop
So basically you can see that each CM version number increases when they start developing using each new version of Android that is released.
CM9 = Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0
CM10 = Jelly Bean 4.1
CM10.1 Jelly Bean 4.2
CM10.2 = Jelly Bean 4.3
CM11 = KitKat 4.4
CM12 = Lollipop 5.0
In order to ascertain exactly what features are being included in ROMs that are CM12 or based on CM12 you'll need to do some research by reading the individual ROM threads in the specific section of XDA for the Xperia M. You'll find the Xperia M section here:
Sony Xperia M
Bookmark that page and subscribe to it too, that'll make it easier for you to find in future. Within that device forum you'll find sub-forums like:
Xperia M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
(where you can post any questions you may have, just remember to search before posting because any question you have has probably been asked and answered many times before, so make use of the very handy XDA search feature)
Xperia M Android Development
Xperia M Original Android Development
(where you'll find ROMs, kernels, etc)
Ok, so now you know where to go, get started and do some reading. Good luck!

Android 4.3 Jellybean

As reading from an article from Android Police, SamMobile has gotten a pre-release build of Jellybean 4.3.. This build has now been ported to the Galaxy S 4 (GT-i9505).. As for the users. Please do not ask if this can be ported. It can't right now. We don't even have CM10.1 (which one day we will of course). Just wanted to share this

[Q] Halo for xperia mini??

i have an xperia mini *smultron* st15i running "cm10" jellybean 4.1.2. Though it is a nightly it seems to be stable for my daily work. I found no crashes or any problems with it. Battery life is very good.
Since the launch of the paranoid android's new HALO feature; i wanna give it a try. I searched the forum and the net but couldn't find the latest paranoid android version with halo support for xperia mini.
(if i have not got the search result for the paranoid android with halo for my smultron pls provide the link)
Then i found out on a thread that a rom called PAC man rom has halo support for smultron.
pac-rom[dot]com
i need to know whether it really has halo support and the problems in this rom. does it provide a good battery life without any crashes or other problems?? (whether it is worth switching form cm rom to pac rom??)
THANK YOU.

CyanogenMod
CM 11 (Android KitKat) NIGHTLIES
CM 10.1 (Android 4.2 Jelly Bean) STABLE
CM 9 (Android 4.0 ICS) STABLE
CWM Based Recoveries
There are hundreds of roms available. It differs from person to person which roms he/she likes.
I personally like CyanogenMod. Just look here and find a rom.
Almost all threads have a guide how to install the rom. If you don't like the rom you just simply install another one.
If you want to get started, install CWM Recovery as listed above.

[Q] WANT HELP REGARDING DEVICE ROOTING AND UPDATING TO ANDROID KITKAT 4.4.x

Hello! Dear Developers And Seniors on this forum I want you all to guide me in updating my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3100)(Indian Version- 3G, GSM, WIFI, 16 Gb) to Android Kitkat 4.4.x.
I know there are several ROM's regarding the same on this forum. But I am little bit confused as to choose which ROM?
My Current Firmware:
Samsung's Official 4.4.2 Firmware & the device is NOT ROOTED.
My Requirements:
1 - I want a "Complete Bug Free" Kitkat 4.4.x ROM for my device.
2- I want that ROM which includes all official features of Kitkat 4.4.x and in which all features of Kitkat 4.4.x works flawless.
3- I want that ROM with which my device wont get SLOW or HANGS/FREEZES or SHUTS OFF.
4- I want that ROM which has a little bit Samsung type looks (Optional Requirement).
My MAJOR Confusion:
1- I visited the Official CyanogenMod Website and saw that there is CM 11 made for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P 3100. The latest version there is "NIGHTLY 27-11-2014".
Now, I am confused about what is included in this CM11 Nightly 27-11-2014 version and what are the bugs inside it (Is it Totally Bug free and fulfills my above mentioned requirements or not).
2- Whether I should go for Official CM 11 Nightly 27-11-2014 Version or the ROM's listed on XDA Forum such as OMNIROM, SLIMKAT, CRDROID, DHOLLMEN,CARBON ROM?
3- What is the difference between Official CM 11 Nightly ROM Vs. OMNIROM, SLIMKAT, CRDROID, DHOLLMEN,CARBON ROM?
I request you all to answer my post soon so that I could be able to run the best Kitkat 4.4.x ROM on my device just like you.:
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580426
The difference between the different ROMs available can be features, kernel, etc.
What OS are you running on your computer? Before you can install the ROM. you will have to install a custom recovery. This thread should in the Q&A section, so I will ask a moderator to move it there.
Don't be offended, but I'm stunned. Not with your ignorance, but how you ignore this community rules. You demand answers for questions, that are all already given on those subforums. I suppose you didn't even read sticked threads. Don't make me wrong, we are all here to help each other.
There's no such thing as super stable, full featured, bugs-free rom. Noone will also have time to write a book about differences between them. You want some answers, just read. All I can do is to give you a few suggestions, look for:
1. P3100 CM11 M11 snapshot (AndroidAndi)
2. Newest GAPPS (ie. Full modular)
3. Eventually OC kernel (AGNi, Dhollmen or Blackhawk)
Before even thinking about any customs, you need to know about:
1. Rooting / custom recoveries (ie. TWRP)
2. Flashing methods (Odin / CWM)
I can't write about all of this in one thread, it's pointless, all is here, just search.
If you want to know about differences between rooms than just look for first post in each thread dedicated to them. But you should start with Cyanogenmod, you can call it a 'base' for many other distributions. (This is not quite true, but it's another story).
