Hi bud. Just to confirm Rom boots fine and installs flawlessly! So far not noticed any issues. Unfortunately I'm a loyal candyRom user so will be bouncing back to that but good work and thanks for bringing this to the m4..cheers

Good luck on getting it official

I think people (including) me don't dare to install any non-sense ROM because of the overheating-and-phone-killing-issues that are apparently in the CM11 base on the mini (and every fork of it). Now, the error isn't in CM11, but I take from it that there are still reliability issues in getting a non-sense rom working to a point where it doesn't brick phones.

The issue is that on some phones CM11 runs fine for 5 months but then kills the phone, with others it's within two weeks.

And I don't blame anyone for some bricks that might have happened, but it does put me off from any non-sense (AOSP?) based rom, including this one. Are my fears justified?

Well that's up to the user if he wants a none sense ROM. I seen all the fuss about the issues etc even seen the Sense Fanboys loving that people are being scared off AOSP too. Tbh I don't see any problems with it my Rom been tested for awhile and is build from slim not CM with no issues at all... if people don't wanna try aosp then that's their loss....

Doesn't have to do with 'fanboys' or not, does it? I had some version of AOSP on most of my devices (also MIUI and such) and would like to try it on my M4, but seeing reports of dying phones on multiple AOSP versions make (even) me hesitant. Since it only happens on our device it's not in the AOSP base or CM11 base but in the device specific portion, like kernel, firmware binaries in the ROM and maybe configuration on some background daemons (thermald?)... was hoping you could take my doubt away :).

Well I don't own this device anymore but the guy who tests builds doesn't have any issues with my ROM. This isn't my thread and I didn't build this ROM so you would have to take it up with the thread owner...

"On multiple aosp version" ???

Had no problems with any aosp rom on this device and I haven't ran sense for about a year now. No issues with pac,or slim and definitely none with candy which is my daily rom. Tbh I did have one issue with cm in the early days which I managed to recover from... But I put that down to my error... Flashing different kernels, installing performance mods/scripts etc and using different xposed modules.
Apologies for hijacking thread
