Hello,
very short question: Does there exist any differences between the different S III models 16- and 32-bit when i aim to flash custom ROMs on the device?
I want to flash at least CM 10 or CM 10 based ROMs (hopefully paranoid ROM for example) on it.
I really searched on google for it and did write "xda" behind it to find topics on this forum about it but maybe this question is too trivial that noone asked that question yet.
But in germany we say: There are no stupid questions... just stupid answers!
PS: Sorry for the title!
No differences!
Rom will works on both variant
I wanted to ask, witch Roms are stable and support all features of Kenzo.
It seems that in several Roms there are different Problems,
from wakelocks and Battery drain,
over Wifi Problems
to missing Fingerprint or VolTE support.
Is it a Problem with Android 6.0 or also with 5.1 based Roms?
This should be in the Questions & Answers section. However, I have official CM 13.0 and I haven't encountered any of the problems that you mentioned above. If you read instructions carefully and understand what you're doing, you won't have any trouble as long as the rom you are flashing supports those features. If you head over to the Android Development section, you can see the features that each rom does and doesn't support. If the OP says it is supported but you can't get it to work, then the problem comes from your side. Before flashing make sure you have read and understood the required steps and have taken all the necessary precautions to avoid ending up with a "bricked" device. Let me know if you have any trouble.

Thanks for your reply,
yes i know what im doing (had Nexus 4 and flashed it more than a hundred times).
I normally check first post (+ following from OP) and the last sites of the Thread to see if there are bugs or not (cause "no bugs" in OP-Thread is not always correct).
But if CM13 is, so far, bug free and full featured (fingerprint and so on) than i will give it a try.

It is. I've been using it for almost 1 month now, and I can say it's probably the most stable and complete rom for me. I also flashed the CM 13.0 supported firmware along with Radon Kernel and the device is blazing fast. As for the battery, I can get 1 week+ with minimal usage, and about 2-3 days with heavy usage which is pretty impressive for a hexa-core device with a 1080p screen.

I was wondering about this "firmware" thing, never had to upgrade any software. Normaly just flash the Rom.
I was also wondering what's the difference to the unofficial CM13

Well, if you are going to flash this rom you are going to have to flash the appropriate firmware too, since CM is based on it. If you flash the rom without flashing the firmware, you might end up with missing options in settings (I tried this and the "fingerprints" tab was missing). As soon as I flashed the firmware everything got fixed. Also, an official rom means that it is developed by a member or a group of members that have created the original project, while unofficial roms can be built by anyone. For example I can take a CM build and customize it the way i want and then release it to the public. This makes it an unofficial rom, since I'm not a member of the CM development team. But if a rom or an update releases on the CM website, then it is considered to be official.
By the way about the VoLTE support, quoting from OP Q&A:
Q) Is VoLTE supported? (Also useful if you have GApps related problems).
A) No. We use all proprietary blobs from MIUI Marshmallow alpha 'leaked' builds and those builds itself do not have it working. So we'll have to wait until Xiaomi fixes it in their marshmallow builds in future. Also we can't fallback to old LP radio blobs/libs and are not suited with current setup. #blamexiaomi

I guess you'll have to wait for Xiaomi to release a stable working MM build if you want voLTE support. :/
I just Wonder if we never See CyanogenMod 14 (Official)
After i read that...
Click here
And does this Affect other Custom Rom Releases?
Because i not Seen a New Custom Rom a while now for
The OnePlus X.
Your Opinion to this?
Reserved.
Reserved.
It does not affect the Cyanogenmod itself.
It is only concerning the Cyanogen OS project (kind of commercial one), which comes in stock with several devices, like Oneplus One or Wileyfox.
The announcement is regarding mostly about the commercial variant, i.e CyanogenOS. SO for now as they state...
"The announcement also doesn't make clear what will happen to CyanogenMod and CyanogenOS. "
We don't know what this bring for the custom ROMs community.
The question is : why reserving 3 posts for that ?
Kéno i'm Sorry
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...
Hi, this post is to ask which one do you prefer and why.
I'm planning to change my Rom after all the updates since the last time I used custom ROMs I want to get in context... So... Wich one do you recommend me and why?
