Same here. That would be torture for me. I loathe Apple with a passion.
I always say it's for simple minds who want to keep things simple. That said, I have been happy that a couple of my co-workers who are normally tech averse dropped i-Phone and got android devices. They love them. I was surprised by that honestly.
Okay so I've been using the ROM for a couple of days and I'm starting to notice like lines across the entire screen, it looks like the screen resolution is starting to decrease? Anyone else getting this?
Under developer options, there's the quickboot feature but after enabling it my phone won't shut off. It can still restart though. I just thought I'd make this aware to everyone.
I noticed 3 oddities in this one:
1) Titanium Backup seems to have problems uninstalling apps. It removes them, but the launcher (non Google Now) thinks the apps are still there. A reboot clears that up.
2) Titanium Backup app restore stalls. At 0%, in the first app.
3) Google Play Market only installs apps to /data. I need to dig through the settings on this one. I may have missed something.

Are you talking about installing apps to the external sd card? In that case did you go to settings > apps > menu > preferred install location > removable SD card
A few bugs/issues I've came across while using this ROM @Sultanxda
1. Font does not apply to all text. Setting a new font
Goes to some but not all text.
2. Stock browser cannot sign into google account.
3. No volume profiles in power menu or screen shot function
4. Stock keyboard(aosp or whatever) or even downloading google keyboard from the playstore has buggy text corrections
5. Earphones even when plugged in sometimes audio comes out through speaker only.
6. Smart lock: Trusted Faces crashes
Otherwise, no other issues besides the "broken" list on page1
Amazing ROM thus far.

I can't seem to figure out screen pinning anyone figure how to work it? Or is it broken. Also the ability to add and switch between users isn't present is it?
We cannot screen pin. Only nexus devices or custom
Roms that have the navigation bar or you download
Gravity box or an app from xposed to get a navigation bar.
To unpin its the two outter buttons (back and overview)
To unpin. As for user, I think that's a bug

*The ROM comes with my kernel built into it; however, sometimes I may release an update for only the kernel and not the entire ROM, so the newest ROM update might not come with the newest kernel. The kernel-only update package also comes with an Aroma installer that can be used to configure some kernel options (such as display undervolt).
**You must have completed the repartitioning process in order to install the TWRP recovery updates.

22Repartitioning Instructions
As of the February 26th update, I have virtually repartitioned the ROM. This means that you will now have 11GB of internal storage to install applications, and 2GB of system space to install any size Google Apps package that you want. Finally, no more storage space issues!
In order to install the February 26th update and newer updates, you must follow these instructions to virtually repartition your device. Note that this means your phone will not be actually repartitioned, so there is almost no chance that this process could brick or damage your device. After you have virtually repartitioned your phone, you will not be able to flash any other ROMs at all except for the February 26th update and newer versions of my ROM. The reason for this is that the special TWRP recovery I made for the new partition layout only allows you to flash ROMs that use the new partition layout. If you want to use a ROM that uses the original Samsung partition layout then you will need to flash a different recovery, and you must back up (nandroid) and restore your data manually.
If this is your very first time ever installing this ROM then skip step 6. After you have completed repartitioning once, you will not have to do it again unless you switch back to a ROM that doesn't use my partition layout (in other words, a ROM that does not have 11GB of internal app storage space).

If anything goes wrong for you at any time then you can simply reboot your phone normally to get back into CyanogenMod.
- Install the latest OFFICIAL TWRP recovery for your device (it is very important that you install the official version, NOT my version).
- Reboot into TWRP recovery.
- Go to Backup and make sure only Data is checked, then make a back up (this backup will ONLY be needed if something goes wrong later on; it's important, so don't delete it!).
- Back up EVERYTHING on your internal SD card to your computer (the internal SD card WILL BE ERASED in the next step).
- In TWRP, go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> check Internal Storage -> press on "Repair or Change File System" -> press on "Change File System" -> press on "EXT4", and then swipe to start formatting the internal SD card. This can take up to a minute.
- (SKIP THIS STEP IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME EVER INSTALLING CYANOGENMOD 12) Copy the data-transfer package to your device and then flash it. This will copy everything from /data to /sdcard (since /sdcard will become /data).
- Copy the newest version of my TWRP recovery to your device and flash it.
- After that is finished, go back to the main menu, then go to Reboot and press on Recovery.
- Once the device has rebooted back into TWRP recovery, flash the new ROM and then flash your Google Apps package.
- Reboot normally (back into CM12).
- Connect your phone to your computer and copy back your backed-up internal SD card data to the internal SD card.
- Repartitioning is completed. Enjoy your 8GB of additional app storage space.
Undoing the virtual repartitioning:
If you would like to undo this process (so you can flash a different ROM), see this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59093149&postcount=61115Regarding the limited internal storage,
Screenshot:
I have thought about what to do for quite a bit of time, and I couldn't think of a solution that doesn't require you to completely wipe the internal sdcard. The screenshot I posted above is not the result of any dangerous repartitioning with Odin; instead, I've modified the way that the ROM interprets the internal partition layout, transforming the internal sdcard into the /data partition (so it is very safe, as long as you back up your data prior to the "repartitioning"). This change would require a new recovery and for you to back up and migrate your internal sdcard's data, almost exactly the same as the process required when switching from EXT4 to F2FS.
Also, the 2GB internal /data partition would be transformed into the /system partition, giving you 1.5GB of more /system space to flash any size gapps package.
Thoughts on this? If the vast majority of you are opposed to this then I will not make any other attempts to increase internal storage space, as this is the best and most viable solution I could come up with (using the external SD card as a /data partition is out of the question as it is much slower than internal storage and because it is possible to remove it while the phone is turned on).
