Hi.
Ever since I received the OTA update for 5.1, I've been experiencing big wakelocks (bam_dmux_wakelock) that are affecting the battery life of my device. After days of googling I've been unable to find the culprit, let alone a solution for this problem. So I'm contemplating installing a stable custom ROM . I've always wanted to try Cynogenmod but I was unsure how to do it and lacked the motivation. I have it now, but I have a simple question that hopefully someone can answer here:
Do I need to be in a specific version of stock Android in order to install a given version of CM? For example, do I need to be in 5.0 in order to install CM12 or can I do it from 5.1? None of the guides I've seen mention this requisite, but I want to be sure.
Thanks in advance

You need the 5.0.X bootloader for CM12. For CM12.1 it depends on the particular ROM you are flashing. Once official CM12.1 comes out I am sure you will need the 5.1 bootloader.
For cm12.1 CAF I flashed the 5.1 radio and boot loader then proceeded to flash BaNkS 12.1CAF with his gapps followed by SuperSU 2.46

Hi everybody, this is my first thread here.
I'm currently on stock 4.1.1 after getting s-off and supercid but then soft bricking trying to update hboot (I think I restarted my phone while it was updating) . Little bit put off trying to load a custom ROM for now (having to reconnect gmail accounts, redownload apps etc) but I'd obviously make the exception for 4.4.
I've seen a few unofficial CM11 builds are already out there in some form or another but my question is will there be an official CM11 for the HOS? If not what will be the closest thing to it? Someone that knows more about CM11 (in general), will it be long until they have a fully functional 4.4 ROM with all features working?
Thanks!
Cyanogenmod will finish cm 10.2 before moving on to 11

Its MOST likely, sense we are still part of the HTC "One" line. But Cyanogenmod Developers have stated that just because Google optimized android 4.4 for older devices that they still wouldn't go back and support them. But our device is a monster, and its never old to me! One thing I can tell you is the HTC Evo 4G wont be seeing official builds:laugh:
CM11 is already running faster and most stable than CM10.2, so i would imagine we'll start getting official releases at some point
I saw XDA's new video summarizing SlimROM features. So I checked the official site for the SlimROM developer and I see there is a Bacon version for our phone.
I want to stay with KitKat for a while until I decide whether I can live without the Xposed framework.
I need to solve the random reboots and UI freezing problems I have been having with stock 11s.
So my questions go out to everyone who's tried flashing SlimROM 4.4.4:
If you previously experienced random reboots: does this ROM eliminate the problem?
Is this ROM stable and does it perform smoothly?
Are there significant bugs?
Are you continuing to run SlimROM 4.4.4 or have you abandoned it?
If you are still running it, what would you say to other OnePlus One owners about the advantages and drawbacks of this ROM?

Are there significant bugs?Slim is based on CM so the CM bugs are present of course

If you are still running it, what would you say to other OnePlus One owners about the advantages and drawbacks of this ROM?That's for you to decide, just try it. I loved Slim on my Sammy devices but CM with LMT is enough for me on the OPO

Honestly, I would suggest you just try it out and see :good:

The answer to all your questions is this: read the comments in the ROM thread and/or test it for yourself.

One reason why I posted this thread is that I did not find any other threads on the vanilla SlimKat ROM. I did see a topic on a variant.
But lacking any further feedback, I followed the installation instructions at the official website which entail doing a clean wipe and then flashing ROM + gapps. Pretty straightforward. The result is very encouraging so far. The phone subjectively seemed to be responding more smoothly immediately after the flash. I've already reinstalled Xposed framework and related modules. And restored apps+data using Titanium Backup. It's a little less than 24 hours but I have not had a single random reboot and not a hint of UI freezing.
I'm very encouraged. :good:
I'd love to know what is causing the random reboots. A poor image install at the factory? A defect in the CyanogenMod variant that OPO is using? Was it just the clean wipe that solved the problem? (And by extension would reinstalling 11s have been successful after the wipe?) I'll probably never know. But I am reasonably happy with SlimROM anyhow. So I'm inclined to keep it.
Hello, new member to the forum here. I've just been through an ordeal trying to get Viper4Android working on my Sprint Galaxy S4 SPH-L720 running stock Lollipop 5.0.1. I've finally given up on V4A (enforcing kernel). Anyway, my problem is that somewhere during the course of trying to get V4A to work, I lost usage of the stock music player and equalizer. I'm getting a quick pop message that states the equalizer is "occupied" when trying to run the stock music player (it just crashes after this message). V4A has been uninstalled. The phone is still rooted with Busybox and SELinux installed. I don't really need the stock music player, however, Spotify now will not run any type of equalizer (one is not even listed in settings).
Any help would be appreciated. I've tried searching XDA as well as the internet to no avail.
Hi, thank you for issued XDA Assist. I see you already know where your device's specific forum is so I won't link you to it. It's difficult to tell what you might have changed while trying to install viber4android so the best I can suggest is to flash the stock firmware or a custom Rom and start over again.

Hey thanks. I've searched through everything on this site. Anyway, I'm strongly thinking about CM. Little confused about which version to choose. CM 11 is the latest "stable/snapshot" build for the S4. However, I was advised that there is very little to no risk running a CM 12.1 nightly build on it. So, should I just go to the CM 12.1 download page for my model phone and download the latest one? Or would it be safer to go back to a snapshot CM 11 build? Everyone seems to love 12.

Give cm12 a shot. I've rarely had problems with nightlies.

Hi guys, i'm looking for a lollipop rom to suit my daily needs -- i'm currently using marshmallow but i need to downgrade due to some application compatibility problems.. can anyone recommend me any?
also, do i need to downgrade my radio/bootloader/etc for this? thanks
What's wrong with stock 5.1.1? If you're moving between major revisions, the recommendations that I've seen constantly are to do a full wipe and reinstall, so you'd be taking a risk if you try to install piecemeal, with components from different versions of the ROM. I'd say do a backup of your essential data and then a full refresh.

Euphoria has some great features and is buttery smooth. I downgraded from 6.0 to it. I don't think you need to downgrade anything, just full wipe and flash. Might need to unmount \system if you get an error. Heres the link to the download.

This is and has been my daily driver for a long time, you could also opt for the official Euphoria ROM I think that's on google circles though.
thanks for the heads up .. will look into euphoria

Hello,
Well CM nightlies have openrecovery script which installs the update itself once you click install after downloading.
