4.2.1 CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM

Hey everyone. Just wondering if anyone has had chance to install CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM and if it's good? I'd imagine it to be quite buggy at the moment due to the fact that it's only just been released. Quite keen to update to latest android 4.2.1 but don't want to update to a buggy ROM.

I just flashed this rom to test it out. Lots of graphical bugs(especially when using the camera) and all of the S-pen features DO NOT WORK. And i also have noticed that my power off button whenever i click it , it does not turn off the screen to go in lockscreen. Other then that..man i was so happy to see AOSP i love it so damn much but..this is just not for me i wish these bugs were fixed and then AOSP is on!!! Thanks for the link though.

No worries for the link . I was surprised no one had been talking about it on here before when in posted it. Cyanogen seems that be the most popular ROM because it's Google stock and optimised. currently using ParanoidAndroid which is great. I highly recommend. Hopefully they'll release a 4.2.1 version of that soon!!

No graphical bugs in PA at all (as far as I am aware). I'm really pleased with it. I'd recommend it to anyone. Tablet apps on this phone also work beautifully well. Like YouTube for instance.
Battery life is SLIGHTLY (we're talking marginal) decreased from Samsung ROM. However, to give you an example of how good the battery life still is - I go to work and use my phone throughout the day for Spotify. It's always connected to wifi at work as I have hardly any signal. I am also always connected to GPS so i can get the most out of things like google now etc. I unplug at 8:30 and get home for about 6:30 every night. My battery when I get home is usually 60%. So I can't complain. When I had my iPhone I used to have to stay constantly tethered!!

re-ROM]Touchwiz 5 Nature UX 2.0- for htc wildfire s

Great ROM but battery time is low.love to see version 3 implementing kat kat into Rom,plus solve battery drainage problem and slim down size of weather widget.Best camera for zooming.also like to see camera released separate and updated in Rom. maybe remove unnecessary widgets included as well.
fingers crossed x

Very pleased
Fantastic ROM.
Smooth install and (from what I can tell) perfect functionality.
I'd be very interested to see some lightweight transparent widgets.
Perhaps it's time I start learning to develop something myself...
Thank you to the devs!
(I can't cash you up, but if you ever have questions about playing the guitar, writing, or recording music, feel free to PM me!)

After using it for a few days now, I agree that the battery time is rather low. I'm trying to work out a systematic way to see if I can stretch it.
The only other issue I've had is that Google Maps (downloaded from Google Apps store) does not function properly. The graphics are all messed up when I try to zoom in/zoom out, and it causes the system to hang, although it doesn't crash.
I haven't retested it, but switching off "shake to report" (I think that's what it was called) improved the situation, but the problem still occurred.
Otherwise, I'm quite happy with the appearance, performance, and function of this ROM.

[ROM] [5.1.1] ZMoD (09/09)

ZMoD is an AOSP-based Android 5.1 ROM focused to bring the most popular features to a clean, AOSP-based ROM.
A bit of history: when 5.1 released, I was impressed by the memory management fixes it brought us - it's a lot better than 5.0 was. Since I use my phone heavily, mostly for texting with multiple apps, it was clear that I couldn't go back to 5.0 anymore - however, there were no feature-filled 5.1 ROMs yet, so an idea popped into my mind: why not create one? This is how the first version of ZMoD born.
Features
- RRO theming support
- screenshots: quick delete action
- configurable wakeup on charger connect
- configurable volume button wake
- advanced reboot
- show application's package name in the "App info" screen
- statusbar clock and date customizations
- option to hide USB debugging icon
- clock and time clickable in statusbar
- battery icon customizations
- alarm clock: increasing volume option
- alarm clock: flip and shake actions
- materialized gallery, calendar, browser and sms (not fully done yet) app
- material default wallpaper
- swipe in AOSP keyboard
Todo
- battery and notification light customizations

- offmode charging broken

Thanks alot Ziyan for keeping this phone alive and running. :good:
Just to clarify... Ziyan are those the only bugs you have come across? Are there any other bugs that we should be aware of such as graphical glitches or wifi/data issues bluetooth perhaps? Would this be considered a daily driver? Sorry about all the questions, but I really want to jump to a 5.0 rom 4.4.4 just isn't cutting it anymore. I have all kinds of ram issues all the times, forcing me to reboot my phone on a daily basis. I think this would be the perfect opportunity for me to transition to a lolipop rom, but I would like to know if this rom is stable enough for daily use.

done flashing. so far so good here. bugs presented above is present. but im gonna try use this rom for more days, (as same as othe LP 5.1) but as i remember from my past flsh from other roms., the more you installed apps the more it getting slow and bugs. well so far here i just installed those social media apps and its running good to me, but i couldn't say its that stable but lets just help @Ziyan and give some reports. well im not that fun on CM roms but ill give this a shot coz its the only rom who is willing to support our legacy phone and make it alive again.

This is awesome! Thanks a lot @Ziyan. I've been using your CM11 builds for a long time. But who needs CM when we have you? CM11 is way too laggy for a while - which is by no means your fault! - and all the stories about 5.1 will definitely make me part of your test group. So I'll stop writing now and start downloading.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Well I think I am gonna go ahead and flash it myself. I too will report any bugs if I come across any. Hopefully it is stable enough to be a daily driver.

:good: same here so lets help @Ziyan for this :highfive:

I'm just waiting for the camera bug to be fixed which causes the camera to stop working and requires a reboot to fix it. If that's fixed, I'll be really happy to come back to LP.

i tried front cam video recording ...... sad to say i have to reboot my phone for me to use it again.. hmm.. the main bug of Gnex LP's are the camera if this will be fixed then for sure it could be stable to us Gnex users. is ther a chanve that someone can make a mod for camera and flash it to be more compatible? i mean what if the cam is not LP based. is it that possible? ( sorry for the question im not a developer)

This has been undoubtedly the best ROM I've ever flashed onto my phone. Camera bug or not, the smoothness with which it runs is almost making me doubt this is even the same phone. I am floored. Great job Ziyan and the OMAP team!

Anyone tried bsmitty karnel with this rom..?

#17
how to get root access ?

This ROM is very nice so far. It's still downloading and installing my apps which obviously takes more time since LP.
The ROM feels quite snappy, at least a bit more than recent CM11 builds. I am missing a few features such as privacy guard and quick switch between apps by pressing and holding the recent apps button. Swipe isn't working with the AOSP keyboard.
I haven't tried the camera yet. But so far so good. Really good.

I've been using this ROM for a couple of days. Really awesome ! Great work @Ziyan !

@Ziyan mwisbest fixed the offline charging, maybe you can pick the commits? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59405904&postcount=2882

Most stable N7 ROM?

I've seen several N7 ROMs for N900T, but they all seem to have bugs and/or stability problems.
Which N7 ROM works best for everyone?
Darklord? AryaMOD? Mag-Ma-NX? Phronesis? Other? Thanks for all replies and especially any detailed experiences!

It depends on your preferences really. AryaMod and Phronesis are customizable, where Mag-Ma-Nx is a pure Note 7 ROM. For me personally I use Mag-Ma-NX because to me it's the most stable and complete Note 7 experience. I could never get mobile data to work with DarkLord so I never got to experience it to provide feedback. NFC doesn't work on any of them as we have a different baseband. Also the other ROMs do not have Flipboard Breifing. There are a few fix zips you need for Bluetooth and smart stay as well as Ultradata savings amd smart manager. I am also using DarkLord kernel as it is one of the only kernels that allow you to enable greyscale. But don't use DarkLord Kernal if you like to overclock or tweak because DarkLord isn't tweakable. Mag-Ma still has Dev support the others haven't seen updates for months. Hope that helps.

Thank you! I guess Darklord Kernel plays well with MagMa? That's the ROM I ended up with. Couple issues (camera keeps FC'ing, something keeps waking the screen, couple other small gripes) but I'm new to it so there might be fixes.
Does DarkLord Kernel have solid performance and battery on MagMa? Thanks!

Dark Lord Kernel does well for my use. The kernel that comes with MagMa would do better for you if you have knowledge of over clocking and tweaking for performance and better battery life. I'm not a gamer so I have no need for that. The camera issue seems to be more stable when selecting the S7edge version from aroma installer. The Note 7 camera is sketchy. I haven't experienced the screen waking issue but I do know there is a Smart Stay zip fix floating around in that thread that could help with that. There is also a setting, Keep Screen Turned Off, that you could activate under the Dispay setting that may help too. Good luck to you bro.

Great to know. i don't game either, just want stable performance and battery. I'll try Dark Lord Kernel. Yeah, the N7 or S7E cameras gave me nothing but problems in MagMa. I listed them out there, but basically they crashed too much and didn't give real benefit over N4 camera. NXTeam vastly improved the N7 camera in the latest MagMa release (UX), but it still has a delay on tap focus. That ruins it for me. Only the N4 camera does instant tap focus. Also, MagMa has an issue right now with resizing videos for text. Can't do it unless you record the video in text quality directly from Messages. Surprised at that, but hopefully it'll get fixed in a future release.
I'll try the kernel. Thanks!

Seems everyone I try, I get a bootloop once the SIM is in. I'm on att with n900t phone. Any ideas?

Z2 Plus overall usability review with custom roms and bugs, battery life, heating etc

Hi Z2 plus users.
After lot of analysis and research, I finally ordered Lenovo Z2 plus today. Got a great deal.
8k INR / approx 125 USD
I have the option of getting Redmi Note 4 as well at approx 150 USD / 10k
I have gone through lot of videos on youtube with different custom rom reviews of Z2 plus, pros, cons etc.
My main concerns are:
- Battery Life
- Heating issue
- Overall usability without digging into custom rom installations and updates very frequently. I will install custom rom but would like to use it as daily driver for few months at least before I look for new updates etc. (Time is the issue - Don't get much of it these days to do all the research and experiments )
With custom roms like AICP, Jaguar - how is the battery life in terms of SOT?
How is the heating issue with custom roms which this phone is infamous for?
I saw a review from Indian tech reviewer on youtube suggesting Jaguar R14 is very stable and good rom for this. But I see some complains and users posting different issues in Jaguar rom thread.
Kindly suggest, if it will be good to go for this phone now (after 1.5 yrs of it's launch)?
Can I expect to use it as daily driver without any significant issues for next 2-3 years with custom roms?
At present which custom rom will you suggest with regards to Battery life and heating issue resolution?

some inputs here will he really helpful

I do not have the device yet and that is my dilemma whether to accept it or return it.
Does these roms also have overheating issues?
How is the battery life on these?

CitrusCAF 3.5 by miju12 seems very stable(dont flash custom kernel unless you know what you are doing) and have favourable review from the users.
and Lenovo z2 is better choice anyway

looks okay
Got mine today as well. Same deal as the OP (around $120). First thing done was an upgrade to Nougat. Sept 2016 manufacturing and there was still 30% charge left . Device did heat up during upgrade as it was on charge. Haven't observed any major heating since. I have upgraded (or downgraded) from a oneplus 2 so my criteria of heating may be somewhat biased. A 5 inch display does seem smallish though.
Geekbench 4 was 1720, 3999 which is par for SD820. So no throttling etc.
Just wondering what is so broken about stock ROM ? What's not going well with everyone on ZUI ? I did tweak the DPI to my liking - other than that ROM feels pretty much stockish android. I mean I have heard so much hate about stock ROM for this device?
Edited - Ok I am starting to see oddities. 1. Double notifications (any fixes?)
And the usual follow up questions -
- Does the U touch specialization / gestures (swiping etc) work on the custom roms for this device ? Edited - Yes I guess.
- Would unlocking bootloader reset the device ? If yes, might as well do it before setting up apps etc. Edited - Yes it would like any other device.

I have been using Rooted ZUI (I believe that’s what the stock rom is called) for a few weeks now (Xposed now, but that’s been just a few days). At first I thought I would keep it stock rooted and get all the things I need with Xposed, but the Notification drawer and Lock screen is getting on my nerves. All notifications are ICS Style, i.e. they are not expandable and they have no quick action (except USB connection to PC which lets u choose cam/file mode). Lock screen has this weird image in the middle which just sits there doing nothing. Notifications doesn't get displayed in lockscreen (weirdly I am getting 1 calendar notification there, but nothing else). I tried enabling lockscreen notification for a lot of apps, but it seems to just allow calendar and nothing else.
The U-touch is awesome BTW, but wont let me start Google Assistant voice through it (I like being able to set alarms through it)
