So I'm seeing two different release types here, one from the cyanogenmod branches here:
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged,n,z
(and built roms here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425631),
and then the Kang project here:
https://github.com/AOKP
(and forum post her: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459287)
Are these the same thing? The commit logs for each branch sort of line up but not really. What's the difference?
Kangs are unofficial Cyanogen builds created by members of the community. They're not supported by the Cyanogenmod team. Sometimes you'll find that they aren't supported by the person who cooked it. Sometimes the "chef" of the Kang will throw in extra mods or config options, sometimes they'll just compile from Cyanogen source.
In this case, the Kang rom you are referring to is built and supported by Romanbb who is building off of the experimental (read: non-final) builds of Cyanogenmod. He cooks certain tweaks into the rom as he builds it. In this case, it's just a matter of development and support.
Basically:
AOKP = Roman's tweaks on Cyanogen (Unofficial, no CM support)
Cyanogenmod = The combined work of the entire Cyanogenmod team. (Official, full CM support)
Hopefully this information was helpful.
awesome, thanks for the info
No problem. Happy flashing!
While the above is sorta correct... I would point out AOKP is not your traditional kang. Roman has tweaks built into the settings menu that make it a top ROM and they support multiple devices.
Any ics ROM is going to be limited by the closed source of Samsung currently, hence the no camera.

Support
We spend an astonishing amount of time developing this software. We can't spend much time on XDA as a result, so if you need support, please try the following:
1) Search. Search, search, search. Yes, you. I don't care how unique or important your question is, it's very likely someone has adressed it already. Especially if you're even close to new at this.
2) Read our FAQ, which can be found on our website. Carbon FAQ
3) Ask a question in your device forum. Someone will no doubt try to help you. Warning: this help may come in the form of telling you it's a dumb question that has been asked before.

[ROM][AOSP][Nightly/Release] CarbonRom KitKat [i9100], ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S II

CarbonDev, Myself5
ROM OS Version: 4.4.x KitKat
Based On: AOSP

Hello Guys.
I'm your i9100 device maintainer.
I meanwhile tweaked the Rom specially for the i9100 so its difference to our other devices is:
Compiled using SaberMod arm-eabi 4.7 (Kernel code) and SaberMod arm-linux-androideabi 4.8 (ROM code) toolchain compilers
Cross-compiled using those custom toolchains results in a more smoother, faster, and battery friendly ROM
F.A.Q.:
What is Toolchain?
In software, a toolchain is the set of programming tools that are used to create a product (typically another computer program or system of programs). The tools may be used in a chain, so that the output of each tool becomes the input for the next, but the term is used widely to refer to any set of linked development tools.
A simple software development toolchain consists of a compiler and linker to transform the source code into an executable program, libraries to provide interfaces to the operating system, and a debugger. A complex product such as a video game needs tools for preparing sound effects, music, textures, 3-dimensional models, and animations, and further tools for combining these resources into the finished product.

What is SaberMod?
The term "SaberMod" is coming from:
SaberMod is a AOSP based ROM with some extra features added in and mostly from CyanogenMod. SaberMod started out pure AOSP when android 4.2.1 launched. Originally it was pure AOSP with a few extra features I ported over from CyanogeMod and linaro optimizations. Then I rebased everything off of rasbeanjelly because I liked many features found in rasbean. Since then I've modified a lot of the code so not much of it is rasbeanjelly based anymore. But you will still find some commonly used features found in rasbeanjelly. SaberMod is not a rasbeanjelly or CM clone, or KANG. Custom kernels are included for certain devices when available. These are personal builds we make for ourselves and originally became very popular in the nexus 7 forums. Features are very rarely added, and are built to SaberMod's team members liking. Currently there are two members of SaberMod working on this project. Myself and @jarjar124. Please understand our time is limited and we are only two people who have lives, and do not have 25-50 members like CyanogenMod to add things. And our goal is not to add a bunch of features that bloat the system of the ROM.

About GCC main compiler cflags
-O1
Optimize. Optimizing compilation takes somewhat more time, and a lot more memory for a large function. With -O, the compiler tries to reduce code size and execution time, without performing any optimizations that take a great deal of compilation time.
-O2
Optimize even more. GCC performs nearly all supported optimizations that do not involve a space-speed tradeoff. As compared to -O, this option increases both compilation time and the performance of the generated code. -O2 turns on all optimization flags specified by -O.
-O3
Optimize yet more. -O3 turns on all optimizations specified by -O2 and also turns on the -finline-functions, -funswitch-loops, -fpredictive-commoning, -fgcse-after-reload, -ftree-loop-vectorize, -ftree-slp-vectorize, -fvect-cost-model, -ftree-partial-pre and -fipa-cp-clone options.
-Os
Optimize for size. -Os enables all -O2 optimizations that do not typically increase code size. It also performs further optimizations designed to reduce code size.

Will this rom contain the tweaks/things that Myself5 added to his unofficial build?
It seems like we're currently having some issues with our download page getting accessed by mobile browsers. Please use your computer to download until we fixed it.
@GreekBlood: All in all the most tweaks I made were coommits from gerrit, so sooner or later they will be included
http://carbon-rom.com/downloads/?device=i9100&type=nightly&country=BE
Here i can see the downloads perfectly and they also work.
And here is the latest nightly for our SII :> http://eu1.dl.carbon-rom.com/files/i9100/nightly/CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140215-0148-i9100.zip
congrats myself5 on getting to be the maintainer for this great rom on our s2.
i think i will just dl from the official carbon page,and then just use the updater to get all the improvements and fixes moving forward!!
well first hour whit this rom.and everything seems good after all! just one question,how i can enable wheater widget in the lockscreen? i cant find an option..
also some translations are missing (in spanish) i can help if you want.
also another question Halo will be added on the future?
i flashed newest rom all good.kernel included is not compatible with stweaks.
I plan on flashing gustavo 2\09 kernel.
will nightly updates flash a another kernel each update??
thnx
A little problem
I have a little problem,when i try to install gapps it says that i have insufficient space. How would i fix that? I`m using PA-GOOGLE APPS (FULL MODULAR PACKAGE) .
And another question. Previous versions that were unofficial had TWRP, how could I get that back too?
@attack11 the Weather Widget is called cLock. HALO will be added it just has some small bugs ATM we need to fix. Thanks for your help, I will later PM you all files you need to translate.
@saskrider: It will flash a new Kernel every Update. However when you later (as soon as it's working) use CarbonDelta to update there will be a option to add Custom Zip's to flash after the Rom (like GApps and Custom Kernels)
@Pecka40: the S2's Sytem Partition is to small for these GApps, use some smaller ones

Good work bro
Theirs a lot to learn from you
Awesome love it
this project looks interesting. btw, is that "Ultra Slim Gapps" package meant only for this rom or can it be used on other stock/aosp roms? to be frank, the "slim gapps" term is very appealing.
You can use slim gapps on any ROM but android version should be same.

Nice, might test this out when I have time
Going to try out now.Thank you
just wondering, does this still use the CM theme engine or what?
also you should post the source
and why only F2FS? Could you make a build for like the 99% of all users have which is ext4
quickest rom i've ever used
Interesting combination.
Any chance to get a non f2fs version? Dont see a real benefit of that..
I will waiting for an ext4 versione too
It implements RRO Layers or Theme engine?

Just tried.
CM theme engine.
yes its working on ext4 and it have cm theme wich is ok for me thanks
I have waited for official LS updates for soo long but no update from last month. This ROM sounds promising keep it up man :') downloading :highfive:
Incluid gapps?
---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------
It includes the option of waking up to double tap? can you tell me where it is? I can not find
Going to download and flash now, sounds amazing thank you!
Great rom. Only bug i noticed so far is settings fc on start. Maybe cleaning the cache will do the trick.
this rom no have waking up to double tap? is possible add by xposed?
Couple of things and I may be off on this so I apologize up front but those of you having dt2w issues. Have you tried looking through all settings especially display. Also have you tried flashing a different kernel or installing a kernel app and turning the function on that way. I forget if the ability is still in the kernel or if its just baked into the rom now...
Secondly, remember people he said he is sharing HIS personal build. So remember that when telling him why does he not have this and that and why F2Fs and not ext4. Since its his personal rom I would say its fair that he does what HE wants to do with it. IJS

Hola
Below is a list of third party ROMs that I have found both on XDA and elsewhere. I am in no way associated to any ROM development or developer suffice to say I do have my own preferences.
I have tried to list either the XDA page, or external sites from which the ROM is associated with. If I can't find an official XDA link or external site, I may just list the download link.
Hopefully the ROMs that are only available via a download page will not give rise to any issues from the developer.
All ROMs are based Android v7.x Nougat.
And of course - our greatest thanks to all associated developers, maintainers, cooks, and other folks who assisted us regular users - we're looking at you DrakenFX, musicman5844, among others!

IMPORTANT NOTE:
1. Please let me know if I missed any ROMs that I can add.
2. Let me know if I messed up with any info I have provided.
3. Again and again, we must all thank the developers and other folks who have helped us along the way. Thanks to all!
I flashed DARK ROM not knowing one single thing about it. We don't have a thread and I didn't see a Google+ footprint (yet).
ROM is totally bare as far as apps go. Nothing there but AudioFX, files, and Settings. Not even a launcher.
At first I thought it was broken but then realized it was probably by design. Leaving it up to the user to provide their own apps. Nothing needs to be uninstalled, disabled, or frozen (as some folks like to do).
Currently I have a mostly transparent setup (themes, TBO Clear apps, etc.).
Searching some more I found the Nexus5 thread for this ROM that details its features. It apparently has signature spoofing support making it ideal for microG / NanoMod.
The dev does provide his own gapps and extras in the OP. Full support for Viper even with Enforcing.
Found the the following thread after already being setup with it.

Premature ROM info. ?
Hi, I'd like to ask which ROM would you recommend
I used to have nexus phone and I loved it. What I'd like the most is stable experience with solid set of features. I don't need root. I don't need the high customisation but just stability and solidness. I want all the features to be working straight after flashing the ROM. I would like to have audio on quality like in the stock ROM. What would you recommend? I don't want to test all the ROMs.
Good support with ota updates is important too.
Has anyone found a MIUI rom for this great phone ?
