I've tried to install the latest builds of OmniMetal (metalspring) and OmniROM HOMEMADE (PlayfulGod). Both installers seem to misidentify my device as "toroplus". It's a Verizon GNEX, so definitely not toroplus. I would say it's a problem at the OmniROM source level, but it doesn't officially support the GNEX. Thoughts?
Posting here since I'm not allowed to post in the appropriate dev forums
Well, that was a total brain fart. Before I started flashing the ROMs, I upgraded CWM Recovery and managed to install the toroplus version

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could say what the difference between the two builds of CM9 are. There's the team chopsticks version found here: http://www.teamchopsticks.org/p/install-guide.html. And there is the, I guess more or less, official release here: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cyanogenmod-9-rc2
Am I right in thinking that the team chopsticks version is an unofficial attempt to port it over at the same time that the CM team came out with official support.
Has anyone compated the two? I've often heard a lot about CM, but have never tried it. I'm currently running Darkside Evolution 3 v8 with Touch0Color theme and I love it.
Thought?
I too was thinking about giving the latest CM9 RC2 a try. Kind of waiting to see if anyone else gives it try and reports back. I might do it before end of day today though.

I am currently running same Rom as you but a version behind, V7. I am just hoping that I can install it with the same version of Clockwork that I used for Darkside.
Team Chopsticks are the official maintainers for CM on T989. They are the ones who incorporate and create the code for our device. CM requires that all code be checked and approved before being merged. The "unofficial" builds from team chopsticks represent experimental, unapproved changes yet to be fully merged into CM.
Essentially, they are one and the same.
ive been wondering the exact same thing. im currently running darksidev8 as a dd but recently tested aokp which was nice as well. now im interested in seeing what cm9 has to offer.
Try the Cm9 rc2 its a daily driver for me.

Best advice download and try roms from this site as opposed to searching the web and as others have said yes Team Chopsticks are the maintainers for our phone so what they do to CM9 will be strictly for our phones.
If you are new to CM9 just stick with the thread we have here and get goo.im which will help facilitate your downloads of updates.
Is the PAC man ROM for the toroplus, maguro, toro, crespo etc etc etc?????
look in the dev section and you will see which gnex version its available for
.........
Thanks boss.....I am pretty sure I did that and usually on goo.im it will say which it is for but there is only one d/l i am seeing im going to check again.....I just wanted to ask: is there universal ROMS.....(ex. a developer only makes one rom but it is hybrid on ALL devices, it just has to be flashed, cache cleared, etc) I have read extensively about Android Rooting for a good year now, and I have NEVER seen something like that so I basically am answering my own question, but maybe I am wrong........
no there are no universal roms for the gnex.. you have to check if they are maguro or toro, and then flash the one that you have
It is for the gsm gnex I am currently in communication with the developer and I have a beta to test for the Verizon variant of the ROM. It cannot be released without testers though so if you know someone with the Verizon gnex and wouldn't mind testing the ROM just have them pm me. I have the ROM link. There will also be a toroplus version soon also.
whats going on did the the dev or devs ever port PACmann for toro plus??? I see team syence is that official or a port of a port got a topic/question for senior members and android rooting gurus..... Which ROM do you guys prefer and for what reason..... Jbsourcery4.3, paranoid android(latest builds) and for what reasons.... And would PACman ROM even compete with those two Roms.....? And those two ROMS r my preferences

Noticed there wasn't really any PAC builds for the toroplus. I just compiled one if anybody would be willing to test it as I don't have the device.

I am using the following ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335130
Chromium ROM build 5
I see that this build isn't that popular and the regular CM stable is update more often.
I am confused as I don't see a CM build for my phone from Mobilicity but Goo manager is showing updates are ready for the regular CM..
Can I just dumped the Chromium and runt he CM build?

You may want to read into a little bit more but this is the thread for cyanogenmod for your phones thread (its the t-mobile/mobilicity thread). From what I searched in the comments it was working for other mobilicity users in the past, but I don't know if anything has happened since. Post your question in that thread and I am sure you will instantly get a response.

slap that thanks button if I have helped
Also in the future I would recommend posting in the T-mobile/mobilicity thread since you will get more people familiar with the device than here in the at&t forum
From my understanding, the newer D2LTE unified builds have support for all carriers, ATT, Verizon, Sprint, etc. But there are ROMs on the Verizon GS3 forums that are not posted here in the ATT GS3 forums that are classified as D2LTE. Even though they are not posted here, do they still have support for this carrier and should we be able to flash them on our ATT device since it is a unified ROM?
AICP (Android Ice Cold Project) being one example

It depends on the developer.
Cyanogenmod states that d2lte covers d2att, d2vzw, etc etc. You'd have to check with them.
Other than that the main problem you would probably have is just network issues.
For future reference, you should always post the thread as it is easier for people to find it. I'll be posting it below in case anyone wants to visit the thread.
[ROM][d2lte][02 APR] AICP - 3.5 - KK 4.4.2_r2[Nightlies] by swift2989
As far as I am aware, you are able to flash this ROM. It's a bit weird to see ROMs that are supported across multiple family of devices not being on other carrier specific forums, unless of course it doesn't support that carrier. I will mention that the CyanogenMod Wiki contains some good information about "D2LTE" here. Please remember that you will never be able to flash anything for the i9300 or the i9305 for now. Flashing those specific ROMs will cause your device to brick and possibly need a JTAG to fix it.

Anyways, I will mention this thread and see if the author wants to post it on here too.

Hey Folks,
First timer here. I'm a refugee from the cyanogenmod boards. I'm a novice at this but did manage to root and install twrp and use the cm nightlies for a couple of years. I own the S3 t999 and have been using d2tmo on Metropcs (NYC) ever since cm10. I know the d2tmo is the tmobile but it has always worked for metro pcs.
Anyway, sometime in mid December, I foolishly updated to cm14.1 from 13.0-20161118-nightly-d2tmo without realizing I was actually upgrading the android version. As you can imagine, without upgrading the gapps, my phone went bonkers. I was barely able to get it back to working order. It has not been the same since and as others have noted, all the cm13 nightlies for d2tmo from cyanogenmod are no longer there and obviously there will be no more further improvements of cm14 . Those last nightlies are too buggy for me, even with the correct gapps.
So my question is, what are my options now ? Are there alternate projects that work like the cm builds ?
So SlimRoms has some builds. Would these work like the CM builds? Would I just install it from twrp , does it matter that I'm going from a CMbuild to a SlimRom ?
I'm looking for something that will continue to improve, easy to update.
Thank you any feedback, sorry I could not post links

Thank you very much anil2653. Very much appreciated.
I'd still like some options moving forward tho, if anyone can speak as to what they would be, that would be great .
