[Q] Is cyanogenmod 11 a custom rom??

Explanations needed about custom roms for the Tab 2.
I have install CM 11 ver 4.4.4 on a Acer A700 & Nook HD+; no problems. Now with the Tab 2, I see all kinds of "custom roms" but the ver from Cyanogenmod isn't listed as a custom rom in the 'everything you want to know about the Galaxy Tab 2' thread or something like that.
I do see SlimKat, OpenKang, Expresso, Omnirom, etc but no mention of Cyanogenmod (CM 11) except as that the custom roms were derived from it(?). The big question is that should I use one of the listed/known "custom roms" or stay with what I got from the Cyanogenmod site even if the Cyanogenmod wasn't listed as a "custom rom"?
I guess the problem is that I've only encountered the A700 & Nook HD+ with only 1 version of CM 11 on the XDA forums. Since Cyanogenmod has their own website, was that the reason that it wasn't listed or considered as a custom rom?
Definitely some confusion here. HELP!

Yes, CM11 is a custom ROM. The version from CM's site works well.
If you are looking for other good custom ROM's, I would try @Android-Andi's Homemade OmniRom.
It has multi-window and really good battery life since he fixed the KK battery drain in his version.
SlimKat is another good choice. If you flash CM11, you should also flash @Android-Andi's AA_Anykernel CM version and the vendor blobs.
His kernel fixes the battery drain issue.

Just remember that not everybody has the drain (I never have) so may not need Andis super Kernel and may be able to try others. FYI

[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.:

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).

Just need some advice.

Hello all,
I'm new at the development scene and would like to ask for some help and tips on porting/creating roms. I'm attempting to port Android 5.0 to my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and just learn about porting/development.
I have SDK Database, Cygwin Kitchen, Skipsoft's Android rom dev kit, and a few other dev applications. What I would like to know is there a GUI application for windows that I can breathe life into my roms and test them before I flash them? Or is it just trial and error? I have downloaded Xamarin, Genymotion, NDK, and a few others trying to find a way to emulate my phone in a virtual environment. Sorry to bother everyone with this, but I thought I'd ask the pros for help.
I'm a huge fan of the Cyanogenmod devs, Team Viper, Team kang, Team Carbon, and a few of the others dev teams out there. I've rooted and installed custom roms in all my devices as soon as I unboxed them. Sorry, but the customization of roms is what I love and to be able to shape/form them by any means possible is awesome to me.
Thanks again in advance for the help and ha ve a great day/weekend.

Lets try to develop a CM12 rom for MTK devices (colors K15)

Hello guys! My name is Aayush Mandavya, I live in a country called Nepal near India and I own a device called Colors K15 having 1GB ram/1GB rom, android 4.4.2, hardware-MT6582, processor-AEMv7 processor rev 3(v7|)
even though I have this many features my device looks and feels bad like really bad.
I can't flash a rom (I have a revovery mode in my phone),
I guess this problem is for everyone owning a MTK device, we want to know how CM looks and feel in our devices.
So I am begging you great developers to please develop a custom CM12 rom for support of every MTK devies.
Doing this many people can get a taste of CM in their cheap smart phones and about 1/5 people of the world will be happy.
This is my request to you please help me

First of all i understand you because i own a MediaTek device( Micromax Canvas Fire 2 A104)
At first i did not like its interface...so i thought of changing my ROM but unfortunately i couldnt find any decent ROMS....(i wasn't ready to use unofficial ROM s on my mobile.So to make my phone look great i did the following
1. rooted my phone using kingroot[easy]
2. changed the default launcher (there are various launchers such as Nova launcher,Go launcher, Hola Launcher etc.....in fact there are tons of them in google pay store)
3. installed xposed framework and modules such as gravitybox [easy and fun] ,monsterUI [gives lollipop styled interface]
and after all that my phone now look like its running Lollipop(but actually its running kitkat 4.4.2)
try these methods.....im sure it will not disappoint you

[ROM] CyanogenMod 12.1 ported to Blackview Ultra A6

Hey everyone,
After many failed attempts, I have finally successfully ported a stable release of CyanogenMod 12.1 to the Blackview Ultra iPhone clone.
Link to download rom: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_avemtx_A4KT3VlaDVFRnhUQzQ
I ported this using an existing CyanogenMod rom for the Honor 3C, as it shares similar hardware to the Ultra.
Know Bugs:
- Speaker audio not working (headphones and earpiece work great)
Everything else works great for the most part and is very snappy.
How to Install:
I flashed this rom to my device using Philz Recovery. I have also ported Philz Recovery to the Ultra and you can find my recovery guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/recovery-ported-philz-recovery-to-t3497683
Make sure you select the option "clean to install a new rom" before flashing. Or wipe data and cache if you're using a different recovery.
I am not responsible if you brick your device.
I hope this was able to help the few of us out there who own the Blackview Ultra. It really is a great rom and has loads of useful features and I now use it for daily use instead of the stock rom. Let me know if you have any issues or encounter any bugs.

So there is no ringtone or any noise?
have you solved the problem?
