[Q] Paranoid Android Feature List?

I'm wondering about what exactly paranoid Android actually does besides hybrid, what kernel it comes with, and what android version it is. (4.x) The same for PAC man rom as well. These roms sound great but I still want to make sure I'm using what's up to date.
Cheers.

Go nuts and flash away! That's the only way you'll find out
I have SENSATIONS and its WICKED!!

Best place to find your answer would be in the PA Thread.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818793
This is typically where you will find the best info. Read a bit, Or flash and see what you can find.. And for PACman rom, It's in teh same location..

[Q] Build AOSP ROM

Hello Developers
is someone able to create an AOSP (KitKat 4.4) ROM for our Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini? It would be great if we have a "vanilla" Android version for our Smartphone and this can be used as base for other ROMs. Would be great if someone could build it
Greetings

Most ROM are based on AOSP or CM (which CM is based on AOSP) :/
And if you want a minimum ROM, there's few ROMs are even less 'bloat' and more 'vanilla' than AOSP itself.

I think he meant that he wanted an actual aosp rom, not just an aosp based rom. While we don't have a pure "aosp" rom for our phones, cyanogenmod is pretty close, slimkat is also pretty bare if you're into that. I'm sure a lot of people could port it, it just remains to be seen if any developer is interested enough to actually do it.

Yes a pure AOSP ROM would be great. The whole ROMs which are aviable for our device are based on AOSP so I think it wouldn't be so difficult to build one from AOSP isn't it?

Slim kat is equal to Slim ROM? In that case there is already a port to the S4 mini in the developer section of this forum

Purest Rom?

I believe he said closest to vanilla KitKat, not to the stock Samsung ROM!
Looks like CM11 is the best option at this point, not sure how far along it is in development yet.

Most stable Android 7 custom rom?

In your opinion what's the most stable and bug free Sense based Android 7 custom rom out there?
Cheers

This question should not have been posted in Development. Says right in the top post of the forum labelled "Please read before posting":
Android Development
What goes here:
•All discussions related to YOUR OWN development (roms, kernels, recoveries and flashable mods, exact rules for creating a thread there see in stickies of that section)
What does not go here:
•Any Questions!!!
---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------
Also, the question is easy to answer: There are no Sense based Android 7 ROMs for the M8. Android 6 is the latest for Sense.

Edit: there are ported sense 7 custom ROMs ported from the HTC 10, from what I've read.

Sense 7 is not the same as Android 7. Also, it was Sense 8 that was ported from the HTC 10 (and still Android 6).
There are only 3 ROMs with Sense 8 (S.ROM, LeeDroid and ICE) so just pick one or two and flash them, and try for yourself. They are all stable and great ROMs.

I'm currently running the Resurrection Remix Rom. While not Sense based, it is Android 7.1.2. It's super slick. The only, and I mean only downside is that you can't use android auto with it. I'm working on finding a way around that, but for now that is how it is.

None of them are as smooth as sense based marshmallow from my testing.
I've also tried GPE 6.0 ROM and it's simply not as smooth as Sense. I really don't get it

I've also tried a GPE based rom back on Lollipop and found the same. But regarding bugs, is it a boring issue still?

There's quite a few on 7.x but nothing major. If you use Maps to get across places then I certainly wouldn't recommend

Android 4.4 Rom? AOKP possibly

Hi, I'm sorry if this is not the spot to post this but i am looking for an android 4.4 rom for my verizon galaxy nexus. I want to use AOKP but they took down the 4.4 rom for this phone and it bums me out as i also want to use franco kernal and AOKP was the only rom that supported it. I wanted to either use AOKP or and old version of Cyanogenmod and LineageOS only has version 13 of their roms and i think they are Android 6.0. I have had performance issues on anything Android 5.0 and higher and Android 4.2.2 Official release no longer supports some of the apps that i use. Any help would be nice as Android 4.4 is kinda the sweet spot for this phone and I had the same issue with my Droid Razr. Found an old Cyanogenmod android 4.4 rom for it and its perfect. Any help would be nice. Thank you!

OMG Thank You!! People on reddit want to complain that kitkat is unsecure. Yea i know and i am willing to live with it though. their website only has old jellybean roms for this phone and i wanted kitkat. I wish they had one for the Droid Razr but sadly they dont but i did find an old Cyanogenmod rom for it and that worked. I have also noticed that they run better on kitkat. LineageOS has BAD performance issues on these old devices. Thanks Again!

I do agree with you KitKat provides the best performance on these legacy 1GB memory phones but I would recommend that you use one of the two most recently updated ROMs (unlegacy android / omni), both from 2018 rather than these almost four-year-old ROMs...

I have heard of omni rom but I have never heard of unlegacy android. Could you provide a link to the site for it? Also the mobile app does not do well with going to other forums so I am not sure about the links above u sent for the two roms.

So whats the difference with Tune and toro? sometimes i see it called tuna and other times toro????

There were three main variants of the GNex. The US carrier-specific ones were toro and toroplus, while the rest of the world were all maguro (despite there being many different model numbers). All three are subsets of tuna. The various custom ROM communities have tried to unify their builds as much as possible, so even where final builds are still separate, a lot of what's inside them is generic tuna.

Yep. Emphasis on "should", of course (as with any custom ROM - sometimes even with stock :laugh: ).

Good to know thanks. Which room would you recommend for 4.4?

No idea, sorry. I went from stock 4.3 to LineageOS 13 (equivalent to 6.0.1) late last year because of the Krack and BlueBorne exploits. It's my only phone, and until I get another I have no wish to switch to something else. (My usage is pretty light, so I just put up with the occasional reboot.) In hindsight, I probably should have checked out the 4.4 possibilities, but LOS was the best known custom ROM, so that's what I chose.

I currently use a Droid turbo but have a Droid razr and want to have a galaxy nexus both on KitKat in case I need to use either. I have a Droid Maxx but I broke the volume buttons on it. I had them fixed but they can break again and I just don't want to take the risk. Also because I broke them I won't be selling the phone.
