Honestly not sure - much of our focus is on getting more developers integrated with the team and getting various infrastructure in place so we can avoid messes like the Galaxy Superior (device which was merged for nightlies, followed by the device maintainer disappearing)
Android 4.4 is really a learning cycle for us, there's various things we need to do in terms of infrastructure that haven't been done yet or just got implemented when they were needed months ago, like:
Mailing list for maintainer coordination
Getting some more reviewers with +2 rights on gerrit (we're going to be adding a few at the beginning of the next Android release cycle so that one should go a bit faster/smoother)
Tracking who is who better so we can avoid "driveby maintainers"
Things like this avoid having issues like parts of this Android release cycle where various members of the core team burned out and had to take extended breaks (including myself, as many can attest, I was basically gone all January catching up on sleep, and I've been prone to periodic burnout since then still.)
So I'm pretty sick of my stock K1's performance and am thinking about using a 3rd party ROM. After reading the development threads, the finalists are Bliss and Dirty Unicorns.
I'm leaning toward Bliss as I've had a very pleasant experience with CM13 thus far on my S5 and I've never used an AOSP ROM before. However if anyone wants to tell me more about the ins and outs of both so I get a balanced view, please go ahead.
In particular, I'm curious about how Dirty Unicorns handles OTA updates (are they possible, or do I have to download new builds manually?) and root (Super SU, or enabled from within settings like as in CM13?)
I've only been using Dirty Unicorns for a few days, but I can say my experience in the past with AOKP on my Samsung Galaxy S3 was overwhelmingly positive. It made my phone noticeably faster and more stable than with the stock Samsung software.
DU has a built-in updater, but right now I already have the latest software, so I'm not sure if it's finding nothing because there's nothing to find or because the updater doesn't work.
Hi all,
Over the past few months I have been building CyanogenMod (now LineageOS) 13.0 for my personal use. It's based off Kumajaya's sources and was roughly parallel to emfox's builds. I'm doing this because I'm dissatisfied with the stability and reliability of existing ROMs. (I can't claim that mine is any better, however it does put me in a position to debug the issues.)
This is an interest check. I am considering publishing my nightlies for people to download. I know that everyone will give a blanket "yes" to the question "should I publish my nightlies for people to download?". So instead I would like to ask:
Given the other excellent Mi 4c ROMs, including @Hikari no Tenshi's LineageOS 14.1 builds, Resurrection Remix N and Team Superluminal CM13.0, what reason would people have to use Yet Another ROM?
(Long time reader, first time poster!)
This will sound kind of cliche but , the more options , the better . Maybe some of us will find your ROM more suited to their daily use or something .
So yeah definitely share it man

I second this! More roms/more activity keeps this device alive longer too
1. Your development wil keep this device alive longer.
2.(maybe) attract other dev/team to build rom for this device.
3.it will make your rom better,by sharing and let many people using it, will helps you find problem faster and improve it.
so yes!
Always useful to have more I have an Aqua (mi4s) and the rom scene is very poor :/ a few Libra roms do support it but in recent months even the SD card support has gone making for quite a sad outlook for the device. If there were someone building nightlies, it would be ace as from time to time you might be able to dip into the aqua stuff too and we'd all appreciate that
Whatever you decide, it's a nice thing to even consider doing for the community. You have my thanks
honestly i think Marshmallow is waste of time, most of the people are interested only in newest Android and i don't see much interest since we have official nougat ROMs from Mokee, AICP and Resurrection remix
if you want to do something different there is Nougat AOSP ROM missing, blobs from Xiaomi are already available, Nexus 5X as well, so...
more roms, more options. i want my mi4c looks better than Nexus 5X

It really depends on what you would have to offer. The available CM13 (or are we calling them LO13 now?) ROMs are TeamSuperluminal's and Emfox's builds which are really not actively maintained anymore, although they are pretty damn stable. Except of course the few bugs that seem to go unfixed -- the touchscreen bug, which appears to be really complicated to fix without newer Xiaomi's kernel sources, the 2% battery bug which is present in TeamSuperluminal's builds and isn't a gamebreaker, and the way the SoC uses its cores in most of the ROMs based on Kumajaya's kernel sources (always active big cores) which results in lower battery life.
If you solved some of these problems, expect users to flock to your ROM. If not, I wouldn't bother, since you'll just be flooded with requests for fixing stuff that isn't broken in the first place. In fact, expect the second even if you deliver on the first.
I don't maintain any ROMs so I'm not one to give advice, but it seems to me it's a lot of work, and that you're paid with criticism and demands for more of your time. Get in contact with a ROM author and ask them for advice on this
Thanks for the thoughts.
As far as I can figure, there are 3 things people want:
Features/being on the cutting edge
Performance
Stability/reliability
We want all 3 but unfortunately it is a trade-off. In particular it takes special effort to achieve stability when combined with the other 2.
The CM14.1 builds satisfy the people who want to live on the cutting edge. The Xceed ROM is built for speed for those who think that Snapdragon 808 should perform like the top-tier chipset that it is
But out of all the ROMs I've tried (haven't tried the CM14.1 builds yet but have tried most of the others) I've had the following stability problems:
Screen freezes, requiring reboot
Sleeps of death
Random reboots in the middle of the night (waking up at 3 a.m. to find my phone clicking at me on the "decrypt your device" screen)
Stuttering or hangups
OpenGL-based games crashing
And that's not including the well-publicised touchscreen and battery problems.
So my personal strategy is:
Marshmallow build. Sorry for those who want Nougat, but I don't consider it stable enough (yet). Plus, all the proprietary MIUI vendor blobs from Xiaomi are targeted at Android L, and getting them working on Android M is hard enough already...
For the kernel, track CAF closely. Probably take their Android N release on the assumption that it's stable
Use as few proprietary blobs as possible; build from CAF source where available. This is what most developers are doing already
Use the most recent proprietary MIUI vendor blobs from Xiaomi, on the assumption that they've been buillding this version of MIUI on Android L for such a long time that it's stable
Avoid importing proprietary blobs from other devices (Nexus 5X, Moto X Pure etc.) where possible for licensing reasons. I don't intend to try and make this an offical LineageOS build, but this might be important for whoever attempts in future...
All this is difficult and @ketut.kumajaya and friends put in some impressive hacks to get it to work in the first place. I can't promise that I can build on this! But if I ever get to a stage where it's fit for consumption, I'll publish something...
in my opinion this will be great for development on Libra devices, i think Nougat rom with clean source will be great for user like me sir. For now iam using RR Nougat and for me its stable for daily use, if we can make Libra official for Lineage it can open other rom change to get official build too. Best luck for you sir and cant wait for your contribution
I was wondering what the most popular ROM was and in general what are ROM usage stats.
Currently I've been using CrDroid but I keep eyeing other ROMs so this might help me jump ship and try something new
Why are there not a choice of Arrow OS, maintained by lovely @TH779 ? It's stable and updates frequently, and it has been on the top of roms forums recently. I strongly condemn this behavior of ignoring contributions of some hardworking maintainers.
It wasn't the point to ignore any rom, I tried to add as many as I could but this was the limit allowed. Can't add anymore

MSM Xtended rom has been discontinued
Pixel experience, too. There isn't a public LTS copy of PE now.
Msmx here. I know about is discontinued, but for me the 5th January build is perfect.

Should I remove both and add Arrow OS?
Edit: NVM can't change the poll
I do love LineageOS and it's so much easier to spell than when it was called cyanogenmod. Though I always found the lack of customizations a let down, such as just battery bar settings and back button kill among other things. I found CrDroid is basically similar, but has these options built in along with signature spoofing that LineageOS doesn't have either. So I've stuck wit CrDroid lately and it's been great

ANCIENT OS have more options especially AOD brigtness setting(like MS EXTENTED).
As I was already on MiUi 12 Android 11 on Stock until I unlocked the bootloader, previously, so I was only looking for a stable A11 AOSP based ROMs.
I literally kicked the tyres on every one of them here and...
Forgetting the subjective, personal, opinion-based customisation & theming, things I have to say that...
Ancient ROM is head & shoulders above everything else here in terms of stability, the usual custom-rom bugs, things not working etc.
In all honesty, I've found Ancient Official to be more stable & bug-free than stock MiUi 12(Although that's not hard is it?!)
I've always been a happy user of RR or Havoc on most of my devices for many years & been flashing custom roms almost 10yrs, if that helps getting my perspective, but most of the ROMs on herefor our device(even official)have been a bit of a mess frankly...
By all means if you want, kick the tyres like I did, but I wouldn't waste your time.
My only quibble is that, currently, Ancient only comes with GAPPS pre-installed & there's no Vanilla version, so I had a bit of de-bloating to do after flashing...
Hi, I remember back in the day, that the most feature rich/best ROMs were: (in order from best) Dirty Unicorns, then RR (resurrection remix), then Carbon ROM, then (probably Paranoid Android and the rest). This was in 2011, when I had Galaxy S2.
Now things are different, Dirty Unicorns are dead unfortunately, and I'm looking through stuff to find something even better than Resurrecton Remix. Constructive info is welcome. I come from Gentoo Linux btw, (so you may have an idea what I'd be interested in, I may even try installing Gentoo on ARM sometime. Or cross-compiling some ROMs and/or kernels etc with the optimizations that Gentoo brings, cut and paste some stuff ;-) lol and have my own ROM... hehe).
