Difference between Bliss Rom CAF, Temasek CAF and Alexandroid CAF - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I tried to search through the individual forum OPs but there is no clear difference.
Can I know from your experience what is the main difference between these ROMs?
Thank you.

All of them use same source and in my opinion all of the CAF ROMs are in experimental state and still have some issues, force closes and lags. But if you want to use one of them I personally prefer Alexandroid builds, because its much simpler and cleaner than the others. On the other hand Blisspop is full of features but its also good. I didn't try Temasek builds.

[Q] getting @CoolDevelopment’s CM11 into mainline CM

Hi, I’m currently using this port and I’m impressed about the stability: Only once had all icons and widgets visually vanish from the launcher until a reboot.
Since new users can’t post into dev fora (damn, i lurked for years), I’m asking here: When do the CM devs include a port to their list of official builds, make it available through the installer, and so on? What does it take?
@CoolDevelopment seems to have fixed the last show stopper, so i hope not much is missing!
PS: thank you very much @CoolDevelopment, @KINGbabasula and all the others who saved me from TouchWiz!

[ROM] CyanogenMod CM-13.0 jgcaap's builds [EXT4/F2FS Compability]

Hello everyone, after a great success on building roms for bacon device. I've decided to share my work with other devices. So now I come to bullhead! After positive feedback on the rom today I'll publish here the rom.
Kernel and Device tree are untouched so everything should be working smoothly. You can use a custom kernel in case you like, but i'll only give support to stock kernel as I do not yet own an device. So CM bugs are basically also our bugs, and from what I know there is none. Still I'm open to suggestions.

This work is free, and as you know if you like it and on your own free will you think I deserve and currently wish to help me out as I am currently going to become unemployed and as also I study for my Masters in Finance , I believe is only fair. While you use, I'm testing and investing my time on it. Should be rewarded because of that right? Is only fair.
Q: Do you receive alot of donations?
A: Since last year until today I've received around 300 euro. But I've invested 1000 hours on these android builds. That gives a ratio of 30 cents an hour.
Q: Why do you still invest on android since it doesn't provide you any feasible income? I would have already quited!
A: Basically this forum makes me relax.
Q: Will you leave cm builds when exodus is released ?

Q: Why Slim gaaps? Open Gaaps are so much cool!
A: Open Gaaps has provided many unstable issues which makes the phone unusable until a clean format. Slim gaaps have shown to be better on that.
Q: Why some buttons of UKM don't work?
A: Need time to improve that..
Q: I want an update app to auto update roms. To lazy to check the thread!
A: I understand, for now is not feasible to do it as I need time to analyse and understand best solution as I update tool-chains regularly and also is not my priority. Remember time is limited for me.

Hey dude, ran some of your CM builds on OPO.. always smooth... good to see you here! Downloading now.
Very excited for this! Thank you!
Btw only kernel I didn't add yet f2fs. Will add next week with time.
This is the Rom I'm waiting for
Hopefully you will keep updating it since most of the roms stop updating after 18 months.
Apart from f2fs fstab, which you may already know about, everything seems to be working fine. Great job as always. Big thanks!
Will test some more.

Since the chip type is the same I'll merge some optimizations to the kernel from bacon. I should have at least one more year of my time to this stuff
On the 02.02 build i had issues with camera, but I think it was something wrong with my setup. On the latest build everything is OK. I'm eager to see what base you'll choose to work with in the future. Since you're using ubertc as a toolchain you can certainly try Ubermallow which I think it's the most up to date Aosp build.
Please give feedback Thanks.

What's the deal with 0.92x for animation? Is this something you choose arbitrary or just because?

Tasker location based profiles on CM13

Since the early CM13 builds until the stable ones we have now Tasker is misbehaving. Specifically with location/near Wi-Fi based profiles and occasionally with calendar entries.
These problem don't occur on Omni based ROMs and seem to be exclusive to Bacon, couldn't find any info about similar issues elsewhere.
Can you share your experience and insight of using Tasker with CM13?
Thank you.
BTW, hijacking/recycling my own unanswered thread here

What ROM for everyday on Android 9.0 ?

:angel:
Hello,
I am looking for a rom usable everyday (stable and good battery management) for Android 9.0.
I hesitate between Arrow OS, POSP and Bootlegger.
What do you advise me objectively (with your comparisons if there is)?
I have more attraction for the Arrow OS because it was more advisable (but the POSP with agent_fabulos attracts me too)
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
at the moment I use the unofficial LinaAge 16 build:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-lineage-16-0-bacon-t3894699/page1
Therefore I used Tugapower, which is LineAge based. In both roms there was no single reboot or force close of any app. Wifi, GPS and all I use works perfect. I also like the LineAge camera and gallery. It's also nice, that if you're using the dark theme, the notifications are still in a light theme. At other, mostly AOSP based, roms I had problems with camera, torch and some theme issues.
What I'm really missing is that button remapping isn't implemented as good as in AOSP-based roms.
I don't use Gapps, Bluetooth or NFC. So I can't say something about that.
An other point of interest (at least for me): I think, that the support for LineAge is more guaranteed in future, since this is a big team with a lots of developers, which are active. I tested a lot of roms in the last months and many of them are discontinued now. If you're flashoholic this is no problem. But if you want a rim for the next months ...
There's also a "Flashoholic" thread (I think in the "General" section). And also a "Flashoholic" Telegram group, of you're interested in flashing a new rom every week ...
A, I forgot: battery is also good on LineAge (I'm using build in "battery saving" mode. - Also a unique LineAge feature, AFAIK.).

Sincerely, thank you for taking the time for your advice.
Have you tried POSP rom or Arrow OS?
Of course I can install them to test but having feedback is always constructive.
Do not hesitate if other people want to share.

Yeah. Today I tested ArrowOS: still problems with the build in torch. Yesterday I tested the new POSP build: still bootloop when trying to flash latest Magisk... Now I'm back on... LineAge

hannah/rhannah/ahannah I NEED TESTERS PAY ATTENTION [mainly from rhannah]

To get more android ROMs 11 and 12 I need the support of the community and the way to give it is by testing my builds
I am currently unofficially maintaining moto e5+ havocOS and working on the creation of the 4.9 kernel which will be a huge improvement on the existing roms with new additions like EAS and more which will allow better performance, battery life and why not a small or medium overclock when I figure out how to do it right.
This also opens the way to stable android 12/L builds (remember that the current kernel 3.18 is not supported on android 12 and while the builds do start they are quite buggy.
for the work with 4.9 I am receiving a great help in the development from marcost22 but in addition to developing the kernel if it is not tested it is a waste of time, we are doing everything possible so that the device does not die and if you want that is yours time to help
there is currently no 4.9 support for hannah and ahannah so if you want to be a tester and you have that variant the builds will take time to arrive as I have to spend some time adding the dtb and first I prefer the kernel to be somewhat functional
in case you were wondering the builds with 4.9 already start but have some issues like audio, fp, gps, vibration and the camera can't record video, once that is fixed we will start working on adding support for the remaining variants and stuff like EAS and frequencies, after this I will build havoc with 4.9 and start working on android 12/L
I don't usually look at xda's private messages much, so it would be better if you send a message to @STKUser , if you don't know things like how to get logs don't worry because nobody is born knowing and everything can be learned.
With the help of the community great things can come, stay tuned.
