I just recently switched from an S5 on verizon to an S6 on sprint, and I'd love to have AOSP on my device but I noticed that development was halted on CM13 because I believe they were waiting for more source code, is there any other rom developers that released an AOSP rom that I may have missed
there is a CM13 project out on the forms here, but it is not stable.
Samsung does all sorts of goofy things with their kernel, and chip architecture, making it more difficult to write non TW roms to work on the devices.
All we can do is wait and see what happens

I'm new to Xiaomi & MIUI, so apologies if this is a stupid question! I've installed the Xiaomi.eu ROM on my new Mi5s, and I'm pretty happy with it, but there are a few bits and pieces that I'd just prefer to be native.
Looking at the timelines from the Mi5, it seems like there was an unofficial CM version within about 2 months of release, an then an official one in September when the kernel source was released. I'm trying to work out how the unofficial one was built without the source, and how long that might take for the 5s (especially given that the hardware is fairly similar to the 5) - I assume it's anyone's guess as to when we'll get the kernel sources?
hopefully not to long. I would prefer a new decent rom on the Phone
So i just looked at all the officially supported phones for lineage OS since CM is shutting down , and they have all the carrier variants for the note 4 (Sprint, ATT.. etc.. ) but not our 910V. That seems to be a common occurrence with our note 4 . its like the black sheep of the note 4 family . So why is it so hard to support our phone?

N910V only got bootloader unlocked recently... Maybe that's why? AFAIK, there's no official maintainer for the Verizon variant yet. @hsbadr had his unofficial builds (for CM), but he has stopped development and gone on to work with the Emotion ROM team.

Where do you see this list? Can anyone comment as to why I always had so many problems while on CM13? I seemed to have always found something wrong with my phone on various "stable" builds, whereas some other ROMS I've tried seem to be actually stable in comparison. I can't remember what issues I'd had offhand but it seems like I was always posting in the appropriate thread with problems. Both Nseven and MODestRom ROMs have run more smoothly than CM13, I never tried CM14.1 since CM13 left a bad taste in my mouth. Probably my most favorite ROM on my VZW Note 4 was the Note5port, but that was on 5.1.1.

CM 14.1 was very stable for me. On EmotionOS Beta 1 right now. Even more stable than CM 14.1. Give it a try, I think you will like the stable AOSP feel.
What drawbacks are there with EmotionOS on this phone? Besides AOSP instead of TW
Hi, do you know if there is a version or there will be a version for this smartphone? I only see cm13 and it is June 2016.
First rule of Lineage is we do not as for etas
I understand then that for exynos you will not make rom? I say it to take it into account for upcoming smartphone
Unless LineageOS is going to run an all TouchWiz framework (More unlikely than a shark attacking on land), then I'd guess that it will have the exact same official support for all the exact same officially supported devices, long story short the last Note device with official support was pre-Note3 if my memory is correct. & any Exynos CM roms are half-cocked and never really expected to get past a User Build.....
Thanks

Anytime! I just wish we had a better chance than we do for custom builds but Samsung really doesn't care about us only consumers.
I have a 5 years old mid-range smartphone Samsung Galaxy s4 mini(19192) few days back i flashed lineage os 15.1 on it, and lineage os 15.1 is based on Android 8.1 with January 5,2k18 security patch and on the other hand i have this Xperia z5 premium which is 2.5 years old but still no oreo roms are available for this...so if a mid-range old device can get oreo update and have tons of custom roms then why the developers aren't making rom for Xperia z5 premium?

Finally a question that I can help answer!!
There are several reasons why development for the Sony Z5 Premium is very very slow.
Samsung devices are FAR more popular on the market then Sony https://www.statista.com/statistics/271496/global-market-share-held-by-smartphone-vendors-since-4th-quarter-2009/. So it would make sense that since Samsung is more popular then there would be more development for that brand in general.
Limited development for Sony devices is partly because Sony isn't very helpful in releasing information needed to help our volunteer developers. Custom ROMs need the access to the device's kernel. A kernel is a piece of proprietary software developed by the phones manufacture that allows the operating system to talk to the hardware. Sony is not very helpful in releasing details about their device's kernels. This means our volunteer developers have to work 1000x harder to get limited functionality from the device. Samsung on the other hand is a little more generous with releasing their kernels for public development.
As an aspiring programmer, I respect that it takes a lot of SKILL and TIME to develop ROMs, root mechanisms, and any other work that is needed to bring a new feature to a cell phone. This is done by passionate volunteers who have lives besides making contributions to this community. If you're that interested and passionate in helping these developers then I recommend that you get actively involved in the development community.
I hope this helps. It's frustrating but this is the reality. Even more frustrating is that I just learned that my Z5P has a permanently locked bootloader. I won't be able to play with any of these custom ROMs
Is there any expert programmer who can make ported stock rom pie from samsung a720s official firmware,for a520f and a720f?
The hardware of the a720s is the same as the a720f, it's just a matter of who has the time, knowledge and willto make. Because we all want 9 on our phones. .

Hadesrom is made from an a8 base with a720s fixes in it and is basically identical.

A8 and a720s are not the same.A8 has Exynos 7885 and a720s Exynos 7880.A8 has 4gb ram, while a720s has 3gb ram.A8 has Mali-G71 GPU while a720s carries Mali-T830MP3.Hardware a720s is identical to a720f.A8 is not nearly as similar in hardware, which is one of the reasons why the Hades rom doesn't work completely without bugs, as much as the programmer tried. After a few days, it slows down. That's why the programmer gave up further updates and closed the thread. I ask, do any of the programmers know how to port rom from a720s for a520f and a720f?
Relax, eventually we will get something
Guys really, you are just so dumb. Having developers around like Corsi or Option58 is a dream for a big part of the XDA community. Imagine that no one is developing for Ax 2017, with what you eventually end? Stock oreo ROM and only it. No Lineage, no Pie, nothing.
Just wanted to remind you that everything related to AOSP is possible thanks to RaymanFX, and you pissed him off a long time ago. I'm ashamed about that part of the community, OP, think a while, just think. Are you sure that you have more knowledge than people making such things? I bet that you ever can't compile LineageOS from sources with a tutorial.
I sorry so much for Corsicanu, he spent an enormous amount of time to deliver you butter smooth stock roms, make the stable pie even possible, release professional kernel and the only thing he received for that is complaining and calling him stupid.
I'm less and less frequent here, thank you to all active or inactive developers for keeping this phone alive, I wish the best for you and remember, you are doing such a great job and there are still people who appreciate it.
Regards.

1. we have an android 9 port already
2. if you don't like them (I guess you do else you wouldn't open this thread) then feel free to port your own android 9 rom. if you don't know how then search on xda. there a plenty of guides about porting roms.
3 finally read this post please. I hope this will change your opinion about porting A720S to our devices.
And no the progammer did not close his thread because of the A8 port is "slowing down" the performance, he closed it because a lot of people requested (and even keep requesting) an A720s pie based port in his thread (check last posts) like you did here.
Did corsicanu confirmed that a720s rom cant be ported to a520/a720f or you guys are just guessing?
Let the man work when he has time thats it...
Hades rom works fantastic on my a520f. For all his honor. But after a few days everything slows down. Why? I don't know. It's like he's running out of memory. For example, the calculator needs a second or two. So I asked if there was a minimum chance of porting rom to the a520 / 720f from the A720s. I'm not a programmer, but I've been using custom roms for a long time to know if the phones match the hardware, there's a chance for porting. I'm not saying that it has to be tomorrow, but when the developer has time
