OmniROM is amazing - General Omni Discussion

I have two devices, a TF300T and a Nexus 5. CyanogenMod has been my daily driver on all my devices since CM9, but I decided to try out OmniROM (even if to my sadness that the 4.4 builds currently lacked multi-window).
I'm blown away by how great OmniROM is. With the Franco kernel, ART, and the latest OmniROM build my Nexus 5 boots in less than 10 seconds. Everything is faster and more fluid. I don't like stock 4.4 because I can't use Quick Toggles, but OmniROM is just the right amount of customization for my purposes.
Now, about that Multi-Window
(kidding, I know it's on the way)

[Request] Paranoid Android

Does anyone know of a DEV that would be willing to port and maintain Paranoid Android for the GSM variants of the HTC ONE?
It will come eventually. The device is still fairly new and considering we've got official cm 10.1, unofficial aokp PA won't be far off.

I'm just over anxious lol
P.A.C. looks promising haven't used it on a device in a while.
CM, AOKP, and P.A.C. all withing the last few days. Things are seriously moving fast so just be a little patient.

[Q] cyanogenmod or pure Android?

what changes in ROM CyanogenMod, there are improvements? what it really changes the pure android, performance, better battery or just theme?
It adds various features to stock android.Performance/battery depend on how stable the release is.For more info you could go to http://www.cyanogenmod.org/about
Modifications might bring about improvements, but they can also bring about bugs.
Well I think that depends on how long I need to wait before xposed could be used on lollipop
If it is in 3 month I think I will go with pure android

Moto X stock ROM is not pure Android or close to AOSP like Nexus Devices. Custom ROMs like CM (CyanogenMod) are closer to pure Android than the one that comes with this phone. CM is not AOSP either even on a Nexus, they use a lot of code from CAF (Code Aurora Forums) to work on a lot of different devices. You can't compile the Moto stock ROM from source like you can AOSP or CM. It might look like stock Android but it's definitely not. Even if you flash CM now you can always go back to stock using mfastboot.
I am on CM12 the last 6-7 days. I love it! Battery life in my case has improved. Maybe cause a few moto apps were consuming resources and now are not present. I know that voice control and active display are not working but the first I don't use and the for the second I have my moto 360 to catch my notifications. I suggest you to give it a go. CM12 runs very smooth on my moto x! I don't think I am going back to stock...

Community development strength

You're a power user. Can the LG Nexus 5X keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the LG Nexus 5X. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Not that many ROMS or custom features yet. Nobody has bothered to see if the chipset can support USB 3 and can be hacked or fixed the low quality (at high volumes) speaker. Loving the mainstream CM and PureNexus ROMS though
Lack of Franco Kernel got me cryin

Although I don't have a Nexus 5x I have seen that the community has grown somewhat. Kernels such as elemental x are available. The fact that cm13 nightlies are available show me that custome roms are beginning to grow. One cool feature (don't remember the site) was that someone made it possible so that the nexus 5x issues sound from the top speaker as well as the bottom speaker. These hints show towards a promising future which will only expand due to it being a popular nexus phone.
The community is smaller than other phones but its solid. We have beans. Enough said lol. Cataclysm is amazing, cm13 is dope, and a few kernels. Some new dev just showed up today with that xtreme rom
Like all communities, it takes a few months to kick into high gear. I felt the same way with my M9, which I got last spring, by mid summer, there were plenty of ROMs and a few different kernels to choose from. I figured development for this phone would have advanced at a quicker pace, but the community itself doesn't seem as big as I thought it would be yet. Just give it time. The ROMs and Kernels we have available now are kickass as it is. I'm waiting for a super optimized ROM like BoostPop was on the old N5.
nexus 5x community seems more mature than nexus 5 in my opinion. Popular roms / kernels are available. That's what the end user cares about( as primary phone).

I have almost every phone available and I love the nexus 5x. It's a snappy awesome light device! Highly recommend!
OK
Thanks
What I like about the community is that despite the Nexus having a smaller user base, it's still positive and willing to help those who are not as experienced with custom roms yet.
Thanks to the help of a few very helpful users in the PureNexus thread, I was able to learn about and successfully run a custom rom, custom kernel, systemless root, and still have adaway and android pay working.
Also worth noting, systemless root has been great for allowing apps with SafetyNet (like AP) to work, and it's great to see custom rom devs include details regarding how to implement it.

Franco kernel is on here. check the Original Android Development section
support is steadily growing. Good ROMs. Cataclysm, Pure Nexus, Omni, CM, Dirty Unicorns (in development) all available. ElementalX, Franco and Phasma kernels all working well.
I would love to see AOSiP on Nexus 5X
It´s an awesome phone, well made and really good looking. Some drawbacks are battery (could be a better one for the price), the side buttons that have a horrible click and loocks really cheap and a pitty it hasn´t got . But in general it´s a nice phone good hand feeling and a great screen.
not as great as the benchmark the nexus 5 had set but much much better than the other 2015 phones!

[ROM][NZH54D][2018/04/05][Grouper|Tilapia][F2FS/EXT4]Android 7.x AOSP

There is a *great* fast 7.1 AOSP ROM with current security patches that is still getting updated for our Nexus 7 3G (Tilapia)! Unfortunately, it is only posted in the Nexus 7 Android Development forum and not here also.
So for all the Tilapia owners, I strongly recommend you check this rom out - for me, it's the first rom in a long time that runs without any serious lag, doesn't require schedule trims or any other modifications to prevent it from stuttering/freezing after a few weeks of flashing and most importantly, doesn't leave my device open to the massive Android security holes that have been discovered within the last 2 years...
Disclaimer: I use my Nexus 3G as home media tablet, so I haven't tested whether it works fine with a sim card...
So a massive thanks to XDA user "AndDiSa" for keeping my device running fine. All credits go to him, I'm just posting so other users can find this great rom more easily.
Find the rom in the Nexus 7 forum:

Consensus on best old-school ROM?

So back in my Skyrocket and G2 days I was a fan of AOKP but I haven't flashed a custom ROM in years. I also remember SlimRom being a thing, Paranoid, straight CM etc. Got my N5 inbound and am looking for a minimalist Kitkat/Marshmallow based ROM to run de-Googled but it's kinda tough sorting through threads which had their last active post 5 years ago when everyone made the jump to 7.0 and beyond just for the sake of being the latest and the greatest bleeding edge hotness. Is there a definitive "Here's the last and greatest 6.x build. Here's the latest and greatest 7.x build. Here's the latest and greatest 8.x build" repository?
