I have a Nexus 6 running Android N developer build NPD90G. I really want to go over to Cyanogenmod because of the 13.1 Mod Ready update, which integrates Cortana, Skype, etc. However, all the builds are 13.0, not 13.1. This made me think that I cannot install the mods, but on the CM website it says that mods are supported on phones running CM13 and up. Does this mean that I can install the mods on my phone if I go over to CM? And if so, will my phone even support them? I've tried to find an answer to this but I couldn't find one anywhere.
UPDATE: I realized that the mods are only in Cyanogen OS, not CM. But is there a way to still get that deep integration of mods in CM itself? Sry I'm a noob...

CM has little if anything to offer except a list of things that do not work and Android 4.3 (which is a moderate incremental step over the Android 4.2.2 Sony is using.) Even when CM goes to Android 4.4 some of the best features of 4.4 can be installed now with the current Sony software (launcher and hangouts.) What's the point of flashing a broken OS? Its not faster. Any customization can be done by rooting and installing recovery. You can hide apps with almost any launcher and do not even need root. A lot of features do not work. CM has lost any edge it had years ago when it improved speed, made customization possible, and closely recreated a pure Android experience. Flashing CM is as useless as it gets. Times have changed, the manufacturers have caught up with users.
Pretty sure this thread is for CM users

This is something I've always wanted for my G3, a vanilla ROM that's always up to date with the latest Android version, but without any "extras" and "features" seen in typical ROMs. I don't like having to deal with frequent ROM updates that add new features/create new problems. I just want a clean ROM that works like a Nexus device.
Why does this not exist?
(If it already exists I have not come across it yet)

When you say vanilla I'm assuming you mean AOSP, in that case we do have cm12.1, but I don't know if that's what you mean when it comes to "frequent ROM updates"
But if you're asking as to why we don't have a stock 5.1 ROM, that would be because LG hasn't released a base for it yet

CM is not aosp based, it's cm based.
Yes, the argument could be made that everything starts with aosp, but AFAIK there is little true aosp left in cm, and mostly custom cm code.
As for the op,
You get what devs decide to build. Your question is borderline offensive.

Well, you could always start a stock rom, root it, and use Titanium Backup to remove any feature you don't want and arrive to a "vanilla ROM". The ROM development is a hobby for the dev, so of course there are "frequent ROM updates". By the way, LG has not released the 5.1 yet, they are still on 5.0.1 (23c).

Been using validus for days. Works great. No freezes. Don't use the features if you don't want em.
I've tried searching and have had little luck in trying to get the details on this so hoping I can get a little more clarification here.
There's been a lot of good work being done by MasterAwesome in:
[ROM][5.1.1][STABLE] CyanogenMod 12.1 for OnePlus X
and while I understand some of the ROMs in Android Development such as Resurrection Remix and Euphoria are using the CyanogenMod 12.1 base and adding some customizations...
What is the benefit of using these as opposed to just using the source. I've tried to search for a quick guide to see what the added features or customizations are but unable to get clear answers to what each add that isn't on the other.
If this stable CyanogenMod gets to be an official build, will these ROMs be automatically updated as Cyanogen is or will you need to wait for each ROM developer to update them with nightlies, security patches, etc.
try resurrection remix

....its the best rom
dont worry
I have entered the world of modding and found my way to this forum because of Pokemon Go.
I wanted to give the game a try to see what all the fuss is about but can't run it on my phone - it's a blackberry provided by my employer.
So I dug out an old S3 I9300 from the drawer of old phones, but soon found that the version of Android (4.3 Jelly Bean) is too old. I am very IT literate and technically capable so I started researching what to do. I have now rooted my phone and have the following ROM and GAPPS files ready to go - CM11 (Kit Kat), CM12 (Lollipop) and CM13 (Marshmallow).
I don't need any technical help, just advice on which ROM to go for. Should I just go for the latest (CM13) or is that unstable and too much for my phone. Or should I go with CM11 because that is the latest 'official' CyangenMod release. Or should I go with CM12 as a comprise between newness and sufficient releases to address any problems.
My main aim at the moment is to play Pokemon but now that I have discovered modding I suspect that I will be experimenting more.
Cheers,
Nigel
I googled and looks like all 3 CM supports Pokemon Go but:
I also found out that there's no CM12 for gs3
Also, there's no more update for CM11 as CM13 is released, right?
OR you can wait for CM14 actually as Android N is almost done :silly:
But, for now, I would recommend CM13
Hello, I should be buying a Swift 2 Plus soon, and as a complete noob, I don't know what the death of Cyanogen is going to do to my device. Obviously it won't instantly brick it, but how am I gonna get future Android updates without installing a custom rom?
have a sexy christmas
Please, read my post here, and the (unconfirmed) Wileyfox's response to Cyanogen move here. It should be enough to clear your doubts

One thing relating more to the custom ROM area. So some of the CM team (not COS) are rebranding as lineage OS right. And they are continuing off the codebase of CM however we don't have a build of CM so how will and developer , from lineage or anywhere else, build a custom ROM without code from CM or AOSP. Unless Cyanogen Inc release the source code for our phone which I'm not sure they will. (Sorry if this is a noob question)

You're absolutely correct. We can't start with the development with no sources. However, I don't think Cyanogen would do that at the moment, and, after seeing Wileyfox's response to Cyanogen moves, I think (and actually hope) they'll switch to an AOSP-based ROM with Android N 7.0 upgrade, and if that happens I'm really sure they'll have no problem on releasing the source code (remember Wileyfox devices tend to be quite developer-friendly). From that, we can work on bringing Lineage...
