This well established Android distribution treats development differently than any other to further our Android platform as a whole. This is the fastest source built ROM you will find on this forum, and also the only one to utilize our unique build system and a custom LLVM 3.5 suite based toolchain globally.

Here is our very well supported Issue Tracker.

We utilize a plethora of unique optimizations in a build system unlike any other:

• Utilizing the LLVM CLANG CI globally, working heavily with upstreams with a goal of furthering our entire Android platform.
• Consistently updated upstream toolchain module source with our custom backports, fixes, and optimizations applied in a patch at build time.
• Fully built utilizing Link Time Optimization and Polly optimizations (another custom ROM first). Feel free to google these a bit.
• Much of our source have code fixes, cleanups, and many minor optimizations to set us even further ahead of the community. These are too generous to even speak of here.
• Optimizations are toggled on and off based on device for the best experience we can achieve for your device without sacrificing stability
• Many Qcom optimizations and AOSP master (upstream) optimizations and fixes using device specifications to determine usage.
• Fully built utilizing strict aliasing and isognu++11 mode.
• Utilizing all O4 optimizations (Optimization Level 4) including LTO (with binutils plugins), and additionally LLVM Polly.

Of course we also have several neat UI features, including but not limited to:

• T-Mobile Theme Engine.
• DPI Wizard (no junk like build.prop tweaks).
• Quick Settings panel customizations.
• Live network stats in your statusbar.
• Button backlight customizations.
• Hardware button customizations.
• Volume button customizations.
• Many more being added during the nightly builds.

• Official nightlies
• Previous versions

Our thanks go out to all the open source developers who made our work possible.
Below is an ever-incomplete list of some of the 'indirect' contributors to our ROMs:

• The Android Open Source Project
• LLVM CI
• Linux Foundation
• Showp1984 for the awesome kernel!
• Code Aurora Forum
• CyanogenMod Inc.
• Chainfire
• Many more!

Instruction

Installation intructions:
These would be my personal preferences. If you feel you have a better method, go for it.

1. Wipe data, cache, dalvik, and system using TWRP 2.7 Beta
2. Reboot (or not) and flash GAPPS and reboot
3. If you want superuser access, flash SuperSU v1.93.
4. Enjoy

Thank you for this! Funny I just asked about it the other day, too. Will report back.

 

[johnwaug]

Setup last night. Will report how it runs today. Thanks.

This is very smooth. Not many features, but the fasted 4.4.2 ROM out there. Actually, it appears to be 4.4.3 Lol. But I hope we get official! These guys seem to go crazy with the built from scratch speed tweaks.

It's lean for sure. Lots of qcom work went in to cfx. Make sure you try out ART. My antutu score went 2000 points.
It's official already. I pushed my device tree to cfx's github last night so nightlies will start rolling out as soon as it gets added to Jenkins.

Awesome! Will that take like ~a week? I've never gotten art to work. I use banks gapps in the nexus 5 apps thread

Yeah i reboot into art and it still shows davlik. Do you have to use certain gapps?

Try PA gapps

@d08speed3 Hey dude, whenever you flash a new rom, do you flash absolutely everything in one sitting before you boot? Dalvik/bio libs, kernel, rom, gapps + tweaks? I flashed this rom and kernel and gapps and it booted fine, I rebooted and flashed dalvik and bio libs and crossbreeder, and now I'm sitting at the HTC screen
@danjull Is this rom compatible with the Sense/Bionic libs?

 

[KyJelly69]

Would this benefit from Palmers kernel and bio libs or is what they have done superior? How about faux audio?

I tried flashing dalvik-sense libs and it forever showed the ROM's boot animation, flash bionic and it doesnt even get passed the HTC screen... Sucks :\

Thank you for all the DNA love.

Flash ROM, PA Gapps, Kernel, CB Mod reboot. When things settle I then flash the Dalvik sense libs. I'm guessing your problem is the Dalvik libs or bionic.

Those libs are made for CM11 not ASOP I believe. Go to the original thread of the libs and flash the universal dalvik ones. Might work.

Yeah the sense dalvik libs don't work on this ROM.

I don't know what's different between the 2 zips but I'll look at the aosp one and see if I can get the sense libs to work.

The universal don't work either.

 

[jamiethemorris]

The universal don't work either.

Probably has something to do with cfx's own optimizations then.

Thanks guys for the great ROM! I love the amazing performance it provides, knowing me I'm always looking for a way to increase my devices performance so thank you Any chance of bloatware removal in the future such as the 3rd part File explorer among other things.

Not a CM base. Its stock and pure AOSP. These kernels will crash and burn on here

 

[jamiethemorris]

@KyJelly69 FYI both crpalmer's and my own kernel work on this rom. The dalvik libs cause it not to boot, but honestly on this ROM you're not missing much because of all the under-the-hood stuff they've done

[danjull]

I have no idea what's compatible besides what comes with the rom. I just flash GAPPS and SU. I echo what jamiethemorris said, I really do recommend to try out that and to try out ART though. To quote bigrushdog

Just some information to get you guys up and running.

USE ART! The first time you switch to ART, reboot and ART optimization will take a few minutes. You will likely experience a few fc's when you boot up. Don't worry! That's normal. It seems the ART disassembler often misses some dex the first time around. Reboot again and it will optimize some more. I usually reboot 3 times to get all the dex cleaned out. The only app i've found that fails on ART is GPS Status. Benchmarks are off the charts with ART.
