What version of cm /lineage is best for n5? In terms of speed and stability?
Sent from my Moto X using Tapatalk

Go for 13.0 which is Android Marshmellow 6.0.1, this was the last 'stable' release of CyanogenMod. I have no experience with Nougat on N5 yet, but I suspect performance drawbacks as it is not officially (as in Google) supported anymore.
Also, there is no Xposed framework available for Android 7.1, I'll stick with CM 13.0 for now. That said, I just checked and noticed there aren't any Lineage 13.0 builds anymore. If you are nosy, you can try out the Lineage 14.1 ROM.

Stick with Marshmallow, totally. Nougat has an annoying camera bug

It's the CM version right? No lineage version out yet?

Bro, try out the CM/Lineage OS 14.1 by Dark eyes. The ROM is great!!

I think Nougat is an upgrade for N5. Smoother and more features. Smoooooth. I was always on stock before, so that's my comparison. I've tried both DarkRom versions (caf and regular), and both Lineage versions (unofficial caf and official regular), I think they're all an improvement over mm. I settled on the official Lineage rom, as I prefer simple.

Resurrection remix
Everything works for me except boot animation on new version of Resurrection remix shows white screen sometimes& when will I get the latest version of Android 6.0for resurrection remix
That's fantastic! I tried the AOSP 6.0 and it's fantastic! I don't know if it's a lot for were device, but I done almost 14.000 points on AnTuTu! It's a good result, I wait for new updates!
Question
Will there be the possibility to use external memory as the default memory in the PURE Marshmallow in the section Original android development?
Works fine!
Even the alpha release works fine. I use it for 2 days and there are no major issues or crashes. Everything works. Only some little things (f.ex. you have to install a keyboard fix). CM 13 works faster and smoother than LP. Nice work GHsR, waiting for the stable version!

[Q] Will the Nexus 5 get Android 6.1 or CM 13.1?

I see some Android devices already have Android 6.1 but it seems the Nexus 5 is still only coming with 6.0.1. Will the Nexus 5 still get official updates to 6.1 this summer? Or is the device getting closer to "End of Life"?
Also, my girlfriend has a Oneplus 1 which recently upgraded to Cyanogenmod 13.1, I suppose which is based on Android 6.1. However, I can't find any 13.1 snapshots, not even nightlies for the Hammerhead on the Cyanogenmod project page: download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hammerhead
Is it too early to ask for CM 13.1? What about Android 6.1? Does anyone have any information or ideas about that?
Where did you see an official Android 6.1???
There's no official CM nightly called CM13.1 for bacon: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=bacon

Its not Cyanogenmod 13.1, but stock rom CyanogenOS 13.1. Its different, and based on 6.0.1
Google didnt announded Android 6.1. Maybe Android Nougat will be, but more probably it will be 7.0.
Nexus 5 shouldnt recieve official Android Nougat update, but u will see some CM or AOSP roms for Nexus 5 based on Android Nougat AOSP code.

Well, there is an image called
Code:
cm-13.1-ZNH2KAS1KN-bacon-signed-88797441b5.zip
on cyngn.com/support
The cm-13.1 part looks like a reference to Cyanogenmod 13.1, but as dekefake already pointed out, it's CyanogenOS which I was not aware of. Also, I just noticed they changed the name in the first column from 13.1 to 13.0.1, so I guess it is just a typo (however, the filename still contains the 13.1 reference).

I did a quick google search regarding Android 6.1 and there are a ton of media items announcing Android 6.1 in June 2016, but also I guess it's just a poor researched reference to 6.0.1.
Sorry for the confusion, but it seems I'm not the only one who is confused here
There are big differences between CyanogenMod and Cyanogen OS, mainly open source vs closed-source & Microsoft apps.
There's no CM13.1 (CyanogenMod ROM), no announcement on their blog and Android Nougat 7 will be the next Android update for Nexus 5.

Wait, I read Android Nougat 7 stock wont be coming unless the community ports it (e.g., AOSP)?

AFAIK the AOSP code is still maintained by Google so we will have a clean version of Android 7 (no need to port from a newer Nexus device => instability).
Anyway, we will have perfect custom roms from Android 7 AOSP branches.

What is the best alternative to Cyanogenmod with 7.0

So I wanted to get CM14 on the Google Pixel, I am not sure the situation with them and lineage os or whatever but is there a way to get CM14 or something similar that has root and can have root installed to the OS? Thanks any help would be great.​
An unofficial build is available from @invisiblek. I used it for a week before switching back to 7.1.2 Google edition. Never had any issues with it.

Release LOS 15.1?

hello,
LOS 15.1 is released, is there any information, when the One will get the version official?
thanks
If you mean CyanoGenOS 15.1, released by CyanogenInc, the answer is pretty clear: NEVER. COS is updated to Android 6.0.1, that's it. CyanogenInc doesn't work on OS anymore, Oneplus is never going to release an Oxygen OS build for OPO, so if you want install LOS or others custom ROM, but do not expect anything official at all.

Hi,
i mean lineageos , the offical 15.1 was released at 26 february.
At the moment the lattest official build is 14.1 but for the oneplus 3 and 5 lineage released an official 15.1.
I know that lineage is no "official" release.
My question is when will there an official release for the one?
I want no custom build.
Thanks
So you better check the title of the thread you started, becouse you wrote COS! Anyway, we have to still wait for an official release of LOS and any custom ROM based on it, as there are few problems with camera (not working) and other things not working, so they plan to solve them first and then release. The other roms using Android 8.1 use Sultan Blobs or other to make camera works etc, but it is not the same. You just have to wait.
Feel free to testdrive my LOS build from the official sources at https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-unofficial-t3758211

Best ROM for Galaxy TAB 2

Hello, I want to send my phone for warranty service, Galaxy TAB p3100 will replace for week my phone. I've read about ROMs for this tablet, but I still don't know which should I choose. I want to use FB messenger, snapchat and chrome on it, I know that it's old device but i want the most smoothest ROM. Would you recommend me one?
im also looking for an answer for this... doesnt have to be the best, but just be the less lag/stable custom rom.. can anyone give recommendations/opinions/feedbacks for custom roms based on Marshmallow? except AOSP...
nougat roms as ive read and i've tried some, are still unstable/laggy.. so thats a no no for me..
my current options are installing custom roms based on Marshmallow with pico gapps / with microg?
im aware that without installing gapps, i'll get better and stable rom experience... ive tried it but I couldn't bear the lack of gapps and the unsatisfying alternative apps..
LineageOS... I have their last nightly on mine and it runs fine for a dual core 1GHz tablet.

are u using the Official LineageOS 13 Marshmallow? official lineageos for our device seems to have been removed in lineageos website download.. discontinued?
edit: i'll try other roms with oms/substratum support like Resurrection Remix OS or OmniROM since i bought some substratum themes, dont want to waste it.. lineageos only has legacy mode for substratum.

Yes, and yes it has been discontinued... But you can build the lineage nightlies yourself like I do as long as you have the blobs.

I knew I had Android-Andi's links somewhere, I also recall being able to use the way back to get LineageOS room files also. But they may have removed them entirely at this point.
