Note: This rom needs to be updated to more recent files, I plan on doing it in the next week or so. It is plenty usable though (No GSM support though)
I am releasing my first barebones for the D2G. It is based off Revnumber's nightlies. This build requires you to be on any GB D2G rom.
Updates Between 1 to 4
Switched to GB kernel
Increased battery life via changes to CM as well as the switch the GB kernel.
Much faster!
Build is much smaller in size too (Download is 77 MB)
EGL and Bluetooth are fixed
Added keymap fix to fix certain keyboard and lockscreen issues
Any other additions inside CM between 08/02 to 08/30
Camera zoom is a none bug along with possible DSP issues (Camera zoom works if you enable zoom from volume buttons)
I have removed:
From Bin/Xbin folders
IRSSI, VIM, and TCPDUMP
From Fonts
I removed the CM one for Chineese (unless Droid fallback has some support)
arabic support. (The reason is not out of hate, but because I have seen these rarely used and they added 4MB to the build size)
From Apps
All CM themes (Left theme support in though so you can add what you want or download them, I use synergy personally)
Stock MMS, Email, Calander and Calculator (Left provider apk's in so you can use replacements or add back in and have it work fine)
Download UI
a few other apk's I can't remember.
From Lib's
Removed SwypeCore
Added auto odex support to /data/
Updated to Go Launcher EX 2.39
Removed from Gapps
G Books , G Talk, Quicksearch, Setup Wizard, LatinIME tutorial.
Changed Market to newest Market available.
All thanks go to Revnumbers, x13thangelx, Gasai Yuno, Asphyx and the rest of the developers for CM4D2G!
I HIGHLY recomend using all the GO apps and widgets as replacements for removed features. For email I use K9 email. All removed features are able to be added back in with other apps or by adding them from Rev's official build. This is meant to be the minimum for people to add specifically what they want.
Download for Release 4

Gapps barebones (Mainly for Market) Note: These did not update because latest gapps package is causing bootloops for me for some reason.

Also, please donate if you think my ports have made your phone a better device! Not asking out of greed but because I have spent so much time on my roms (quite literally if I quantified it, I would have almost a months worth of workdays in it)

Both links are broken, can you please update? I am having issues with CM7 and would like to try out this port/rom. Thank you.
Crap, Copy pasting straight from rootzwiki truncated the links. I will fix them sometime tomorrow.
Can you tether on this rom? I know that verizon's "built in app" is well build into the OS but i have a feeling if someone does enough digging they can find a way to block it from alway taking control of tethering.
any word on the new links?
I would like to try this out.
Is it possible to add the code lines related to gsm from bikedude's cm9 and make gsm voice and data work on this rom?

What would be a good way to determine what capabilities are present in the various recent custom ROMs for i717? (and also bugs/things that don't work)
For instance:
- Full S-Pen support (including apps & hover icon)
- Per-app dpi (Paranoid, Hybrid)
- Disable wake-up on volume up/down
- Builtin FJ-tools
- JB vs. ICS
- Netflix works
- Apps can be moved to sdcard
- Touchwiz available
- No-wipe version-to-version upgrades
- Comes with all CM10 known issues/bugs
- Builtin ad blocking
- etc.
Reading through each thread does provide some partial answers, but would be useful to have a clearer feature matrix that shows most important differences at a glance...
Thanks
Go for it!
That would be a great project to undertake ....
I agree with ranger ....OP ?
Are you up too the task ?
It would be a huge help for the users here ....IMHO
This would be a great project, what format or program you plan on putting this together with, I would MS Project due the program imho has all the tools from excel/accces need to compile but must have time....
But keep in mind if you get into the nut & bots of these awesome ROMs is going to be time consuming, for an accurate assessment, you will have to install all the ROMs and to be far. But there is an issue, due to we have the same phone but may not act or react the same to the ROM...
Good Luck

How about something new?
I am pleased to present, three years after the device's release...
AOSP 4.2.2 r1.2 for Nook Color
For this first release, I wanted to keep this as close to straight AOSP as I could. The device and kernel tree are identical to the the one in the CM10.1 release. There is a three year history of maintainance and improvement from the NookieDevs. Without that group of gentlemen, we would all be using ManualNooter, so be thankful. This project, and AOSPA as well, are not possible without them.
This is a straight a port to AOSP as a device with our boot parameters could hope for. Let me know what you think. The deviations from stock AOSP are minimal and almost wholly hardware related...a list is on a following post.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note: these are random Google image results, not screenshots. I have not enabled native screenshots yet, and have no intention of buying an app to do it now. It's AOSP, you guys are familiar.
The only thing I added to this build that wasn't necessary or direct from AOSP was that I embedded Superuser, because ROOT! (and things just work more smoothly if it ships with the SU stuff handled.)
I think the performance is actually really nice, let me know.
Bug List
Nothing jumps out at me. Let me know. (Please check if you are reporting a bug with this build, or one from AOSP upstream. Google helps.)
Downloads
Rom is here.
Gapps are here.
I may decide to enable update notifications from Goo Manager...I haven't decided. I don't expect to update this as often as PA, not until 4.3 drops anyhow. But an update or two is for sure coming.
The Future
We can add some common-sense extras to this rom...but I do not want to spend a bunch of time and effort skirting the line between this and CyanogenMod. We already have CyanogenMod...it's awesome. Having said that, I am willing to add some basic extras. Post your thoughts about this issue in the thread...the more we add, the further from AOSP we go. Options include:
Performance Settings
MTP/PTP
Screenshots
Power menu (reboot etc.)
Requests may be considered (no promises...my plate is already pretty full. But contributions from the community are treasured...see the next post for source code info)
Thanks
NookieDevs (fat_tire, nemith, eyeballer and steven676 especially)
TeamWin for the vast amount of free hosting they provide me (and so many others)
inportb, koush
Leapinlar and RedneckReg for the replacement device.
Scroll down for build guide
Technical info for source code enthusiasts.
https://github.com/mateor/android/tree/aosp-4.2
CM projects used:
build
system/extras
vold
The above are all related to either the Nook's unique boot (having a uboot and MLO) or the partitioning scheme in the emmc. I intend to change to using the AOSP versions of those projects with the needed changes cherry-picked. Almost all of the commits we need were written by our own nemith and dalingrin.
hardware/ti/*
frameworks/av
frameworks/native
I have not decided what I will do with frameworks/av(whether I will pull out the OMAP stuff from that project or leave it as is), but the other hardware/ti handling will likely remain as the CM versions. I will peek at a diff, but the odds are high that we will stick with CM version there.
android_device_bn_encore
android_kernel_bn_encore
These two will 100% closely mirror the CM versions. I had to make some no-brainer changes to device before building...that will likely be the end. Thanks and credit to NookieDevs, especially Steven676 for 4.2.2.
Omap aside, my experience showed me that we only needed 15-20 changes to AOSP to port. So we will try and dial it back to just the barest changes necessary as an intellectual exercise.
Contributions from the community are welcome...the branch naming is all over the map right now...look at the manifest linked above for definitive answers about the source code used.
Thanks.
Build Guide (perfect for first-timers. Support can be requested in the thread)
These instructions are for 64 bit Linux environments, try VirtualBox if you don't use Linux normally.
Take 15 minutes and follow the beginning of this guide. if you don't have ADB set-up, it will take longer, but that is just for downloading the SDK.
If you need help installing the JDK on Ubuntu (or another system with apt-get) do this (the absolute easiest way)
Code:
cd ~/
wget https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6/raw/0.2.7/oab-java.sh -O oab-java.sh
chmod +x oab-java.sh
sudo ./oab-java.sh
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
When it gets to the step to intialize the repo (repo init -u ETC.) STOP, and come back here, You are done with that guide, forever. Those steps only need to be done once.
Enter:
Code:
[FONT="Courier New"]repo init -u git://github.com/mateor/android.git -b aosp-4.2[/FONT]
[FONT="Courier New"]repo sync[/FONT]
If you experience fetch errors during the repo sync, change the command to repo sync -j4 -f. If they still occur, then repo sync -j1 -f.
This will take a long time, do it before bed, or family time, or go eat.
When the sync is done
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch full_encore-userdebug
make otapackage
You're done!
When it is done compiling, your ROM will be waiting for you at out/target/product/encore.
Fat-tire says building your on rom makes you an Android ninja, so you know it must be true. That means that if you don't try, you are admitting you don't want to be a ninja. Which reveals you to be the geek you already are but with loser rubbed all over you. Why else are you on XDA if not to learn?
Wow! Amazing work mateorod! I know we personally have discussed this project many many times and I'm glad you were able to dedicate some time to pulling it off, sorry I haven't been around as much lately.. life in the way but will definitely give this a look
Congrats!
badass!!!!!
coulkd you add the option to edit quiccktoggles
Wow! Awesome stuff mateorod! Looks like you've been pretty busy here. Gonna give this a go for sure!
Thank you for keeping our little device still alive, kicking and fresh!
Intriguing.
Not only am I checking this out, but the goo.im link wasn't working so I'm building a rom from source for the first time
Would an AOSP base be good for a AOKP port, or would Cyanogenmod be better?

Use AOSP, for sure. AOKP is AOSP-based now, except for the hardware implementation (I.e. the hard stuff) done by CM and their device maintainers. But definitely use my aosp-4.2 manifest as your base. All the changes are very specific...you must use my forks of those CM projects not simply the CM-10.1 versions. (that probably goes for the device tree as well).
A good example is vold. CM-10.1 vold is not backwards compatible with the AOSP repos...there is some undocumented dependency in another project. I could go on and on...deviate from my choices at your peril.
However, swapping out the AOSP repos (I.e. anything straight from aosp) with AOKP repos should work fine. Krylon stalled out on an AOKP build for the Nook...I think this manifest will allow you to be successful. Ask any questions you like...if I can answer I will.
PA Halo goes Open Source!
Hi mateord,
may be you didn't know about that: Paranoid - Halo goes Open Source now.
Please have a look here:
Code:
HALO goes open source
Non PA users
Make sure to tell your developer to take a look at these two links:
1. [URL="https://github.com/ParanoidAndroid/android_frameworks_base/commit/518c329e8c67fa96b8a8fc22e1962ddb8497c333"]https://github.com/ParanoidAndroid/a...962ddb8497c333[/URL]
2. [URL="https://github.com/ParanoidAndroid/android_packages_apps_Settings/commit/7c739a86e7a02451a63615d71f1b6c846caacdc6"]https://github.com/ParanoidAndroid/a...1b6c846caacdc6[/URL]
Commits are streamlined and squashed, should be merged in a few minutes easily. HALO is still in beta since support for TabletUI and PIE is unfinished, among other minor things, but it's good enough for a release.
As for the feature itself, I can honestly say it's been the most exciting Android project I've been involved in. I can think of absolutely zero reasons why anyone would dislike it in its current state. I sincerely hope you enjoy it, whatever rom you run.
Facebook
Again, we would like to thank Facebooks clever engineers for this idea. We've had a blast bringing it to new levels and making it entirely and creatively our own. This ain't
just a random carbon copy, we've tried hard to make it adapt Android as best as we can, starting by extending the basic functionality to all apps of course and ending with that sort of integration which you would expect from any native feature.
Google
As for threats to Androids eco system, until now apps react nicely to our changes. Apps adapt, they simply assume a smaller screensize. We do have some remaining issues to clear but this should be safe when we are done. Should any doubt come up as to our integrity, we are prepared to do whatever we can to lessen negative impact. We have created white & blackliststs, we have flagged this feature beta and instructed our users of their responsibility to respect app developers should any issue arise.
We earn nothing from our feature and do this solely because we enjoy Android and the Nexus/AOSP platform. Our goal is not to spread and hack, we simply want to demonstrate that the AOSP platform and its compliant devices are already the creative breeding ground that anyone could wish for.
PA users
There seem to be no crashes or spontaneous reboots that we know of and we have observed and measured it long enough to know it poses no danger for your battery and performance. Therefore the code has been merged into our main branch. You'll get all the features and changes that happened outside of HALO's scope.
I will try to sum up what i see on Git:
- HALO has white & blacklists now. Blacklists can prevent apps from pinging through HALO, whitlists do the same but only allow pinging when you explicetly allow it for single apps, everything is silenced
- dismissal of notifications has been improved
- PA Wallpapers has been taken out of the rom and can be downloaded for free on Google Play: [url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...oid.wallpapers[/url]
- DCHSPA+ symbols
- Dirk Rettschlag's Quick unlock
- PIE option for emptyangle (the start gap)
- Birthness dialog updates
- Statusbar date/time layout changes
- Option to use volume keys to control media volume anytime
- Launcher does not need to be started when you go in and out of fullscreen (no more black flicker)
Oh, we took out GooManager since we will soon replace it with a custom solution that will make updating as easy as possible, with full context awareness of course (hybrid props, backups, kernel updates, PA-gapps, etc.).
Enjoy!
regards and thanx for your hard work...

All this is really missing is battery percentage, and performance settings. I like built in performance settings, I feel it take up less ram (vs setcpu).

Okay, I have to ask. Any guides on flashing this to emmc? I was running CM7 on emmc (Got stale), went back to stock 1.4.3, tried rooting but could never get full market, Then saw this and it looks awesome and would love to go for a spin on it. I have the zip files ready to go and a CWM sd card, but I need to know how to get it installed on emmc.
I am on pure stock 1.4.3
Thanks

If you have everything on a CWM sd card then just flash it
You can follow my (slightly outdated but mostly valid) guide over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227 Just replace the CM stuff with the stuff from this thread.

I gave it a try with a clean install. It is actually very impressive. it has smaller foot print, boot up quicker, runs smoother and faster. I think it is perfect for such old device compared to CM10.1, I would have it for daily usage after try it for few days.
I installed it in SD card (EMMC has CM10.1 RC5), and I don't see upgrading android even when I boot from this ROM to CM10.1 (not sure why).
One thing might need some attention is the storage in settings crashes. Again, not sure if it is due to installed in SD card or not. However, it is not a big deal to me.
Another couple of things noticed, it has color band, and youtube won't play HD videos. I really don't care that much compared to the speed of this rom.
Thanks a lot for this great ROM. it is a better choice for my Nook Color.
Not just you. Have it installed on emmc and storage crashes in settings for me as well. I have the color bands too. Haven't tested YouTube yet though....
Great ROM so far! Good job devs! Fast, stable, and runs great!
Thanks
Geeve
Edit: I have the same YouTube problem. Could it be the kernel not using the display correctly? I am by no means a Dev, it just leads me to believe with the color bands and lack of HD that either the driver or kernel isn't doing its thing. Just a thought. Are there any other kernels we can flash to test?
Sent from my NookColor using xda app-developers app
The installation was a breeze, excellent ROM!
I can confirm the crash on Storage settings.
The performance is horrible though. Could it be because of the SD card? I have a 16G SanDIsk, should I go with class 4-10?
Thanks for the heads up on the settings crash...I just grabbed a log cat from it myself. I haven't looked into it, but it shouldn't be too hard. The banding that you mention, that is the background in holo dark, correct? That is actually an upstream AOSP issue. I don't understand how it has lingered so long...it certainly hasn't made it's way to the stock production builds. CM already fixed it back in ICS...http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/14945/. I will add it here as well.
We don't have HD YouTube for PA either. Is that working on CM10.1? I thought not but I have spent very little time on CM10.1 for the Nook (due to my development commitments only...CM is the best.)
I have also been really pleased with the performance of this ROM. I will probably add in CM performance settings, just to make it easy to add our standard 200mhz over clock. There are a couple other small things I will cherry-pick in from other ROMs to make things a little easier. But I don't want to add too much. Like I said in the OP, I want to try and keep this as close to stock AOSP as is reasonable. We already have CM10.1 for this device...no reason to mimic all of it's features. I also think the small footprint is inemof this ROM's best features.
Performance settings, gradient fix for sure. Quick toggles editing has been requested and will be considered. Anything else?
yes, HD Youtube is working on CM10.1. I don't care if it plays HD videos or not, even it plays, it is not perfectly smooth. However, HQ videos have HD video as ads in the front, so most of time, it can't play HQ videos without playing the HD ads ahead.
I totally agree that we shouldn't have all of CM10.1 features, and keep it small footprint. Currently in my opinion, it is better than CM10.1 on Nook color (due to hardware limits). I feel less laggy compared to CM10.1. A full feature ROM like CM10.1 maybe better for new hardwares. for nook color, this rom is almost perfect. It will be perfect after the minor issues fixed.
thanks a lot for your excellent work!

Welcome to Starship Nexus. A Cyanogen based Rom designed to be lite-weight, simple, fast and efficient like any good Starship should.
THANKS
All praise goes to the CM Team and the Nexus 5 development community.
I had honestly never intended on posting this and was more a project for setting up my phone the way I like it. I have been developing in the past for the most part as part of different organizations who's initial purposes was to just bring Cyanogen to different devices.
https://github.com/Chairshot215
Up until the Nexus 5 I have never owned a supported device so as mentioned have worked with different teams to get CM up and running on mainly Sprint or VM devices. Also being the Art School Dropout that I am have also spent the past few years starting with CM-7 creating alternate themes for each device I have worked on and have released different versions of the starship theme for Sense, Touchwiz and other devices and have created a stockpile of images over the years to work with for each variant all sharing a common design. Unfortunately all those images are HDPI and will not work with the higher resolution of the Nexus 5 but what can I say developing has been a big part of my life over the years and although the Nexus 5 has no shortage more experienced developers it just feels strange not actively working on a Rom so have decided to go ahead and post what I have as I work on theming and adding different options and customizations.
Features Include
Now Launcher as the default Launcher.
G-Camera
Heavily Themed
Bare-bones app selection.
GCC 4.7 Compiled.
many minor modifications to numerous and insignificant to all be listed but includes things like customized text for example changing instances of generic terms like device to be more specific and allowing non market app installation as the default for those of us who may have owned a Kindle and either purchased or installed enough free apps of the day through Amazon that installing the Amazon App Store is a first after flashing. Otherwise would be a lengthy list of changes I don't think would make or brake anyone’s decision on installing the Rom.
Kernel Version is 3..4.41 which is nothing compared to other Kernels. With that said the Kernel is based on the current CM Kernel that although has incorporated many back ports from higher kernel patches starting this late in the game it is not easy to apply other patches even if already done so by other developers because other kernel patches had been made at earlier times so it is not as easy as just cherry picking entire patches as after confirming the CM team has not already incorporated each individual change each change must be tested individually. So anyhow that’s what’s going on with the kernel. Have also incorporated a few other changes not included in the version patches or by the CM Team from other Kernels like Omnirom for example. I would otherwise like to thank all the Nexus 5 Kernel devs as the patches are based on those found in other kernels like UBER and LiquidSmooth taking common commits between many different kernels to form each patch. Otherwise I plan to continue improving the Kernel as I work on the Theme. Kind of excited as for the most part working with other teams have always been the vendor blob guy and looking foreword to learning more about the kernel. The Kernel has not been tested on all CM11 Roms but is compatible with current Official CM-11 builds so probably will work with most CM-11 Roms built from the current source so will include the Kernel only as a separate download.
Each individual change made as part of the Linux Version Patches are explained in detail under the cm-11.0_testing branch. The Version Patch commits are grouped together under the primary cm-11,0 branch without individual explanation for an easy view of what changes or commits made to the Kernel are made outside of the Linux Version Patches. The testing branch link below shows all changes tested before added to the Starship Kernel as well as the individual commits for each change made as part of a Linux Version Patch.

Yeah it is definitly at this point bare to the bones and will post a few screenshots in a bit. Ultimitly I would like to base the theme somthing like the original incarnation of the Rom from what I had done with the Motorola Triumph.

There is a script that runs the first time the Rom boots that removes allot and moves the necessary files for the now launcher to work correctly from a staging directory to ware they need to be placed in the system & data partitions.
HTTP://github.com/StarshipNexus/android_device_nexus_starship-common/blob/cm-11.0/app-update
After this script has run a second script cleans everything up including the staging directory.
https://github.com/StarshipNexus/android_device_nexus_starship-common/blob/cm-11.0/cleanup
Is done this way to prevent needing a specialized Gapps package for every update as the Now Launcher requires newer libs for Google Search than what is found in the Gapps zip that would be replaced when the Gapps zip is flashed. So in short for multiple reasons the zip is large but by the time it starts installing apps the first time the Rom boots it has been slimmed down pretty well.
Very slim. Now I test it.
I have updated a few new thing. I have first been testing out new Bootanimations and default Wallpapers. Nothing set in stone although kind of dig the new Wallpaper. The Bootanimation is from the G2 as I have also been working on porting the G3 Stock Rom ported to the G2 so is more a port of a port. Anyhow decided to give the Boot animation a try. The G3 is also the source of a few of the new Icons mixed in with a few Blur and other images. Most notably are the buttons and settings divider line. I have also applied patches for the 3.4.16, 17 and 3.4.18 Kernel version patches along with different Audio and a few video Enhancements.
Posted an update, mainly because I found a few parts of the theme hideous. Is definitely getting there though and starting to see glimpses of my pre xxhdmi resolution Starship Roms. Looking at the last updated screenshots definitely need to hit up some text colors for next time. Otherwise happy how things are coming along and posting is definitely motivating my Ars. Think are not yet downloads so going ahead with aditional text color. Just in case will add a b version in a few.
Filename is 20140930 not version b
Made more changes for next time with the Teal blue taking up the right side of the Statusbar leaving the left using the OG White. Doing this because some user intalled apps will add images on the left and think it looks silly mixed up between the two so each side of the Statusbar will have its own color. Using the darker Teal in place of the lighter Teal / Blue coloring I have used since Froyo after reading an article about how certain colors help reduce battery usage from the display depending on the display type of the device. I have been desighning the Rom in a way that it can be built for any device with a CM port official or otherwise with most of the changes being aplied through a Starship Device directory so far requiring only 2 lines added into the device directory importing the Starship directory like shown in the below link to the commit for the Nexus 5. With that said Im going to end up changing the name as I built what has been completed up to this point for a friends Moto as simple as adding the Starship directory and adding two lines into the device directory.

Anyway posting these things in advance because I havnt seen many opinions or feedback on the current look and feel but can see a steady number of downloads so if anyone has an opinion or idea for improvment let me know. The current incarnation or reboot is still very young and as some may have noticed things are changing pretty drasticly version to version so could still use any help anyone is willing to offer.
Instead of reboot think Im going with reimagined, seems to be the new term going around.
Ok. This rom is rock. Do you will its development?
Wallpaper
Anyone got a separate link for the wallpaper please?
TIA
This is all based on personal opinions and experiences. I mean no offense to any of the developers. None of this should be taken as an insult, because it's not intended to be.
Android 5.x:
- Stock: I'll always like the simplicity in design of the older Touchwiz versions. It was nice, but it got pretty laggy after a while.
- Light Xperion:
- ColorOS: Link's broken.
- MIUI 8: Link's broken.
- MIUI 9: Link's broken.
- ADS Sony: Link's broken.
Android 6.0:
- Stock: Starts lagging so bad after around two years of use. Literally no apps installed other than the necessary ones. No games, nothing. Internal storage kept always empty. Became so laggy that the status bar took literally almost one whole second to pull down. Not really that good of an experience. The system took way too much space and didn't have that many features. Sure the theme engine was nice, but that's about it. There isn't really any point into reviewing this, but i thought it might be kinda interesting, if anyone else experienced the same issues as me.
- MIUI 8: About what you'd expect. It's MIUI. Feature packed, as usual. Sometimes laggy, as usual on a low end phone.
- MIUI 10: Graphics pack over MIUI 8. Looks nice.
- Slim6:
- ADS Asus: Link's broken, sadly. I really wanted to see how it was with all the apps i suggested adding. Should have been pretty much a full Asus experience, except the SystemUI.
- SuperROM:
Android 7.x:
- HalogenOS: Doesn't install, "E3003: Can't install this package over newer build.", which makes no sense because the phone was fully wiped. Tried many times, going from different ROMs back to this. Never worked. It looks pretty nice in the screenshots, even has some custom apps. Quite unfortunate that it doesn't install.
- Odyssey Note8: I personally don't like 3MinitBattery, never liked it. Other than that it lags quite a lot. But it's kinda expected since it's supposed to be a ROM ported from a phone with much more horsepower under the hood.
- SEP Lite: Doesn't recognize the J500F as "J500xx". Refuses to install
- SEP: I just don't get why the Lite version doesn't install. This one installed just fine. Anyway, it's just stock Touchwiz, nothing much to say about it. It runs just fine, nothing more, nothing less. I like the little touches like the Aroma installer and the amount of options are offered.
- WyckedOS: Doesn't flash. "No digest file found".
- SpaceOS: Doesn't flash. "No digest file found".
- Mokee: Doesn't boot. Artefacts. Booting forever.
- AOSP CAF: Doesn't flash. "Can't install this package over newer build".
- CosmicOS: Doesn't flash. "Can't install this package over newer build".
- Serenity: Touchiwz, just Touchwiz. Just like SEP, it's just Touchwiz. The same, but slightly different features. Like SEP, it's as fast as Touchwiz can get, which is not very fast, but it's usable.
- XOS: Doesn't flash. "No digest file found".
- XOSP: Crashes on boot. Massive graphics artefacts. Custom kernels result in bootlooping.
- Ground Zero Validus: Very slow boot compared to the rest, takes way too much time. Glance doesn't work, just shows the lockscreen directly. Doesn't even have an internet browser app installed. The home screen is a random mess. It's not really that polished. But i like that you can make the statusbar transparent with a blurred background. I get what they were doing with the grid style recents, but a more HTC-like approach would have been a lot better, since the grid style only allows 8 apps at a time to be shown, plus they change size depending on how many there are and you can't swipe them to close them, you must hit the tiny "X" button.
- Ground Zero Tesla: Boots the same as slow, but this time it's pre-rooted instead of just having Magisk there to root it yourself. Normally i would complain about it being the same, or about the fact that it's lacking Substratum unlike the other one, but i'm actually very ok with it because i like the features it has. Their custom Kernel Adiutor version supports voltage and sound control, which is a really nice feature. It even has a custom theme, which, yeah, it might hurt some eyes, but it's there at least. It's above average. I wouldn't say good, but it's not bad either and has some unique features. The presentation is messy.
- Hexagon: "No digest file found", but it's installing, maybe if i were to replace the installer script from the other ROMs with this one... Hmmm... Maybe some other time. After finishing installing, it crashed on boot just like XOSP. Graphics artefacts, display slowly fading to yellow for some reason. Doesn't reboot with other kernels, but stays on the boot screen indefinitely.
- DarkNess reDefined: Doesn't flash. "Can't install this package over newer build".
Android 8.x:
- LineageOS: First impression was great, as usual with all LineageOS ROMs. It's pretty much the base for all ROMs. it's good if you like clean and simple UIs.
- AOKP: Besides not having an "OOBE", the customization app has a rather outdated design. Also, the app installer crashes every time i tried to install anything. On the flip side, the customization app offers a wide range of options, nothing to complain about that. Can install apps with 1 Click Installer which uses root, or (i haven't tested) with Lucky Patcher.
- Toxyc: The customization was very complex, but it didn't even have an internet browser pre-installed and the messaging app kept crashing over and over again. Unusable, because it doesn't have basic functionalities like text messaging. Another unfortunate one, because the performance was also good.
- ViperOS: I don't have anything to say about it. Good customization app. Nothing more, nothing less. Good performance, almost wanted to stay on this ROM.
- dotOS: Didn't boot at first surprisingly. Got locked up at the Samsung logo. But the issue was the kernel. After i flashed Jet Cooled Kernel it booted right up. After boot, i was met with a really nice UI, a very mature and modern looking customization app and overall no bugs whatsoever. In conclusion, broken kernel, but good performance and stability with any other kernel.
- Ressurection Remix: As expected, it has every possible customization option there could possibly be. You can even customize the customization app. It's just mindblowing.
- Tipsy: Not only the home button doesn't wake the screen, it also has barely any customization and the home screen you're greeted with is quite messy. The theme engine only themes the settings app and the pre-installed Kernel Adiutor, not even the statusbar/QS. You can't even reprogram the keys from the customization app, like you can do on all the other ROMs, to some degree. Too bad the Tipsy theme was kinda cool, black with glowing yellow accents. Even has doze settings, something that the other ROMs don't have. Could have been a lot better, the 3rd unfortunate one.
- crDroid: Link's broken.
- Ground Zero Validus: Link's broken.
- LineageOS GO: Link's broken.
Common 8.x issues: Searching for locations in the weather provider app doesn't work.
Android 9.x:
- eOS: What a gorgeous ROM. Probably my favourie so far. Doesn't have lots of customization, compared to the other ROMs, but the whole UI is already custom. Good performance, very stable.
- LineageOS: About what you would expect from LineageOS. A perfect base ROM. Everything works. Doesn't really do much, but it's perfectly fine. Customizable buttons and LiveDisplay are the main extra features over basic AOSP, which are more than welcome.
- LineageOS GO: Link's broken.
- AOSPExtended: This was, like, GOOD good. I think this might have broken through RessurectionRemix's level of customization. The UI is smooth and responsive, probably the best i've seen so far. The pre-installed themes are really nice. The camera, omg... This phone can actually take good photos, it's incredible. It actually acts like a 16MP camera, the photos taken in daylight are so detailed. The amount of options in that camera app is outstanding, and you can even turn off denoise completely. The only bug i encountered was after flashing Magisk, the wallpaper broke completely. It defaulted to the original AEX one, couldn't change it in any way. After saving a wallpaper and going to /data/system/users/0, the actual wallpaper was the one i set, but the one showed was the default one. Something broke hard, i have no idea how or what. You have to change the wallpaper manually from where the current wallpaper is actually stored, but that means no Live Wallpapers. Installing an app also breaks the ROM, because the install screen replaces the home screen, and uninstalling an app causes the same effect. Needs a restart after installing any app. (Not affected by Google Play install/uninstall, only when manually installing .apk files.). I personally can get over all these bugs, because the battery life is amazing, the performance is probably the best out of all ROMs and it has the customization features i want. I kept this ROM as my main one.
- EvolutionX: Link's broken.
- Kraken Project: Link's broken.
- Ressurection Remix: Link's broken.
- Carbon: Doesn't flash. "No digest file found".
- Pixel Experience: Pixel ROM, nothing exciting. Doesn't have customization, doesn't have anything. It's about what you'd expect, it's just stock Pixel UI. One thing i have to complain is that the camera performance is extremely bad and i find it very wery weird that out of all the ROMs, this one doesn't have GCam.
- Bootleggers Shishufied: Doesn't have bugs. Runs fine. Has good customization. It doesn't really stand out in any way.
Android 10.x:
- AncientOS: First of all, wow, how animated everything is. I don't know if i should say it's obnoxious or cute, but i guess it's a bit of both. Nonetheless, i don't mind the animations. I like that it features an AOD, great UI customization and a variety of non-AOSP system apps. Two of the surprising features are Dirac Audio and double tap to sleep/wake. It's actually good. Besides a slight problem with the animation when going out of the AOD mode, i don't see any issues. Overall a fun ROM suitable for daily use.
- crDroid:
- Xtended XQ: I don't like being so negative about stuff, but there are too many problems not to talk about them. First of all, there is no Settings shortcut on QS panel, which i find really weird. If you change anything in the QS, the edit button just shoots offscreen, being unable to change the QS icons without "catching" the editor button while the QS are closing, or changing the DPI to some very high amount. The AOD settings crash the settings app and you're unable to change the AOD style, position, color, font, or anything else. The AOD text function is broken, but at least the image one works, yay... You'd better get used to screen burns, because the AOD is actualy, as literal as it can get, always on, no way to change it, enable a wave function or just turn it off completely. The transparent theme is buggy at best, The colors of the QS, even if you change them to accent color, they are still changing when you extend the QS panel. Yeah, that's about it. It's not that great. At least in terms of performance it was one of the quickest to boot and app opening times were very short.
- Corvus: Imo, the quotes app is really cringe. More or less the same as AncientOS, minus the animations and the fun UI. And mostly stock apps too. Mixed feelings about this one. Average at best.
- Bootleggers Unshishufied: It's nice. Runs well. Doesn't have that much of a custom UI, but i like that it includes non-stock apps, a custom theme from "out of the box" and many customization features. I don't like that LiveDisplay doesn't work. But, yeah, it's fine. I just don't get why the other version doesn't work. Oh, and it doesn't have a camera app.
- Bootleggers Shishufied: Doesn't flash. "No digest file found".
- Bliss: By far the best Andorid 10 custom ROM i've tried so far. it has all the customization features i want and even more. The performance is very good, you don't even notice it's an 8 year old phone. Besides a few weird bugs, like not being able to change the wallpaper (also an issue on AOSP Extended) and not being able to disable the AOD, it's overall very stable and functional. I also like that the UI has that extra something, that little bonus touch to stand out from the rest.
- ArrowOS: Link's broken.
- HavocOS: Link's broken.
- RevengeOS: Link's broken.
Android 11.x:
- LineageOS: Tried an earlier build, everything was broken (internal storage not recognized, not saving photos or screenshots, SIM didn't work, SystemUI crashes and other things. That day i wrote "Imagine that everything is broken, but then you dropped your phone on the floor and accidentally set it on fire afterwards. That's how this build of LineageOS feels.", which i think it's absolutely hilarious. But, yeah, now it's fine. Everybody says the bugs have been fixed and it's good for daily use. I may or may not test it again at some point.
Android 12.x:
- LineageOS:
Android 13.x:
- LineageOS: I mean... It works just fine. It doesn't help that the UI looks really bad on Andorid 13. That new quick toggle bar is just useless. So few toggles in view. Just doesn't make sense. As for bugs, only the Gcam Go app doesn't adjust exposure. But that's just an app, it doesn't really count as a bug. Surprised to see that it comes with Dolby. I wanted to enable stereo speakers, but i simply couldn't figure out the mixer_paths.xml. And the ultra dim display toggle is an S-Tier feature, especially because it doesn't seem to apply a filter, but actually tune the brightness. Double tap to wake/sleep is also a feature i wouldn't have expected to see.
Common issues on ALL ROMs: The "INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113" issue occured on all ROMs. Can't install any 64-bit apps.
If anyone has a link or backup of the ROMs i couldn't download because the links were broken, please help me by providing a link. Thank you in advance.
