So glad to have you guys here man! To anyone who prefers to watch Rom reviews before installing them, I personally HIGHLY recommend their channel! In my opinion 80% of Rom reviews don't accomplish what they are intended to, which is to allow the user to experience the Rom, learn of any bugs, and highlight unique features. Imraan & Abdul are tedious when it comes to digging through a Rom & reporting everything you need to know in order to decide if it's for you. I followed them on the HTC Sensation & LG G2X, and I'm so glad they're gonna be contributing to our T999! We desperately need some good coverage on Roms for this phone like Sprint has from qbking77, and I know All About Androids will fill the void. Seriously guys, check out their channel, it's a MUST subscribe, especially if you have the Nexus 7 or Asus TF300 also! You guys Rock Bro!
Edit: One more thing I forgot to mention is that these guys have also personally responded to any comment or question that I've ever posted on their channel. That goes to show how much they appreciate their viewer's & subscribers. Believe me when I tell you that I've got nothing to gain by telling you guys how awesome it is that they're covering the T999, but I've been a big fan of their channel for quite a long time, and their videos have been so helpful to me, so I gotta represent for my YouTube Homie's, lol!

Can you specify exactly what Problems? Hardware or software. So far, other than the phone feeling hot, I haven't had any other issues.

Hey guys in this quick video I'm taking a look at AOKP 4.4.2 for our GSM Galaxy Nexus! I hope you enjoy it and if you did I highly encourage you to subscribe and give it a like for more tech videos! If you are interested in building a computer then check out my playlist containing unboxings of parts leading up to the actual build which is coming very soon. I also have many other Android reviews and tutorials so check those out too! I appreciate the support and feedback!

I think I stick to CM 11.0 , this rom has less options at moment.
Yeah I would too, but like I said this is a early build! Excited to see what will be added!
Hello members!
Just a quick question . . .
Which Touchwiz Rom for the SGH- M919 is currently being maintained or developed?
Seems like development has halted and the developers have moved on to other newer smart phones.
Is the Samsung Galaxy S4 old already?
I can't justify buying an new phone when this puppy works just great.
The newer phones are moving away from external storage & external battery . . . Why is that?
If anyone has a clue or any incite to where the mobile industry is going and why, please chime in.
Best,

Devs have pretty much stopped for SGS4, I am running CM 12.1 nightly right now, it works just fine for me now.
I am in the same boat as you, I broke the power button on my S4, but I fixed it myself now, and ran cm12.1 on it, it works as smooth as my mom's nexus 5 now. I don't see the point in upgrading either.
The new LG G4 has removable battery, if you want to wait for it. Think about it as battery runs out quicker, people feel they need a new phone, so they go and buy a new phone = more money for manufacturers.
I have no idea where this industry is heading, but until I see another breakthrough phone tech coming out, ill keep my money.
If you want a new phone without breaking the bank alcatel idol 3 and the asus zenfone 2 are GREAT options, I was going to pick one up before I fixed my s4.
With all or most of devs bailing out of the s4 you can forget about maintained roms.
Two newer phones have released since the s4, S5 and S6 so wherever is in development is all your going to find.
Your best bet is rooted stock, that's what I run, and phone works all the time, never have to post in development because of force closing, no sound, no rotation. No messaging or whatever.
Do you see where I'm going here.

I'd like to know which rooted stock ROM are you running, debating here which way I'll go after finally rooting my S4.

Thanks, I'm running stock NK2, and am looking at a "cleaned-up" (if I can call it that) version of it in the forums, seeing which dev has good feedback on their efforts with the stock ROM.

Once rooted you can do your own cleanup, that's what I did.
Using Rom toolbox I deleted all the junk apps from tmobile and Samsung. I have two pages in my app drawer with just the stuff I need.

MD 1.3 is a great TW ROM. The developer is very responsive, and the ROM is rock stable with great battery.
Find it in the T-Mobile forum.

Noticed that you had already posted in the MD thread.
Thinking of trying this ROM out too!
Preface:Lots of great developers have been bringing Cyanogenmod to the Honor 5X, but no one has posted any experimental builds for people to flash. Since I have been able to build CM with the sources other developers have kindly created, I would like to share builds for others to try out on their devices without having to setup an Android build environment.
I would like to clarify a few things:
These builds are UNOFFICIAL and may not be daily driver material.
I just build these ROMs from sources OTHER developers create. See credits below for developer list.
I cannot provide ETAs for the next build, new features, or anything else.
I have only tested these builds on KIW-24, so other variants might not support this ROM.
You are solely responsible for flashing this ROM along with any damage that might result from said flash. See the disclamer.
See post 1 for install instructions and downloads
See post 2 for screenshots and changelogs
Disclaimer: Voided warranties, bricked devices, rogue alarms at 2AM etc. are all your own problem. Neither any developer nor XDA is responsible for any unpleasantness that may result from using this ROM.
Credits:

@CosmoDroid
@crpalmer
@InkSlinger420
@EarlyMon
@wimbet
@Chainfire
Cyanogenmod
Google
And anyone else I might have missed. Let me know if I should add someone else to the credits.
To flash this ROM you need to:
Unlock bootloader and install TWRP
Boot into TWRP, perform wipe, and then flash ROM .zip and optional gapps *NOTE* non kiw-24 users see this post for information on flashing.
Reboot, and enjoy CM on the Honor 5X
Unofficial ROM Downloads:
3-10-16 - REMOVED by OP
Optional Gapps Downloads:
http://opengapps.org/ (ARM64, 5.1.1, Full)
Changelog:
3-10-16 - Initial build. (Tested) working features; wifi, BT, (some) data/LTE, normal phone features.
Known bugs:
No rear camera
No fingerprint sensor
No extra kernel features like Tap To Wake
Some cellular/data features may not work. I can't test this so check posts below to see if someone else can confirm.
Screenshots attached.

I can only test on kiw-24. Another user has reported being able to flash ROM on kiw-22. If you or someone else can confirm that this will work on other variants, I'll update the OP.
Nothing was posted cause there is still things that need to be fixed...lol.. Bugs in builds suck..
Awesome! 40 days after US release. ( i know its been around these forums for a little while) but having a flash-able file is a big bonus. Any general working or not working info ?

I didn't mean to imply that other devs where in anyway at fault for no posted builds. I understand the desire to focus on fixing bugs rather than maintaining builds, but there a lot of people, myself included, that don't mind running buggy builds if we can get a taste of CM.
By the way, do you want me to add you to the credits?

My deal is this... I also have builds of BrokenOs (my rom) for this device but i havent posted any for public use, for one reason...Respect... @crpalmer is doing 95% of the legwork for this device over there at CM and Im sure once hes ready and comfortable with where it is, he will announce builds somewhere for it....I think its both premature, and kinda crappy, to make public someones work before even they think its ready for public use.... My 2 cents... Oh, and i dont care about credit for anything..Im just a rom dev, i get enough for that....

Thanks for your input. I certainly do respect @crpalmer along with all the other devs who have worked on this device, and I in no way want to detract from the fame/glory/respect they are due for all their hard work.
@crpalmer or any other dev, if you want me to remove this thread or change it in any way, please let me know. I don't want to step on anyone's toes. I was only trying to help others get a early taste of CM so they didn't have to build it themselves.
Appreciate the credit but I just fetch coffee and hound Huawei when necessary for devs doing actual work.
No harm removing me from the credits.
Thnx to all the devs trying real hard to get these awesome roms on our device.... Really appreciated

Thank you @Bandit Development for the build. While I understand where @InkSlinger420 is coming from I much prefer the state of where @crpalmer has brough CM to over stock. I've been running this for about 4 hours. GPS works great, data and phone work great. Most importantly switching between apps doesn't draaaaaaaag.
Hopefully those responsible for the hard work on this rom will realize this wasn't an attempt to grab the spotlight, but rather a way to placate the masses. Also, needed or not, there is valuable information even in the few early posts because not everyone uses their phones the same way, so one person may never run into a bug that another person sees frequently.
Fingers crossed, but perhaps this thread will also limit the number of posts in the [Dev] thread asking when etc.......... I know I filled it with build questions which probably didn't belong there either. However, I'm trying to learn a little about rom development and one of the first steps to that is to be able to build the rom so you can test your tweaks, or at least see how someone else's changes affect the phone.

It would take me approximately 30 seconds to add automatic nightly builds to my autobuild server (I already generate some builds every night).
Consider that and the fact that I haven't done so as an indication of whether or not I thought builds should be posted right now...

Wow, didn't realize you have a server dedicated to building. Because of this, I did not know that you wanted to wait to post builds. Would you like me to ask an admin to remove this thread? I sincerely don't want to mess with your work, plans, or anything else.

You don't need to remove the thread, I am just pointing out that I don't think that the build is at a level of quality that represents well the work of CyanogenMod.

Well, I'm happy to let you take over cooking builds if you'd like. I certainly don't claim to be able to make quality builds.
I would really appreciate any tips/info you'd like to share that would improve my builds. I've been trying to learn how to fix bugs and contribute to the ROM development, but the task seems to be a rather undocumented and slow-going.
Hi everyone,
Is there any chance the custom ROM scene will take up this device? As far as I know it is a pretty solid and budget friendly device that I figured would get custom ROM support quite fast but so far I haven't been able to find any.
If there are teams working on it, can someone link me some more info?

Eventually. Most devices that have loads of Roms and Kernels are most popular and have Android devs who work on them. I'm kinda in the same boat. I have A71 Samsung and there are very few Roms
Still hoping...
Great device at a most reasonable price. I don't know how to develop my own custom rom, but certainly hope somebody else will...

I really hope so too. The affordable price and quite decent specs seem to make it well suited for it. But of course it all comes down to popularity too. So far I have really been loving it (aside from the always on display being WAY too sensitive to movement of my phone) and am planning to use it for a very long time. Just like the good old Motorola Razr and Krzr phones haha.

I am hearing a lot of positovity about it indeed but somehow I am really struggling with getting the bootloader unlocked etc using a chromebook.. will just wait for a decent guide I guess.
The rom is marked "unofficial". Is this safe to use? Also do I use weekly or microg? Thanks for any guidance.
