Hello,
I am planning to install CyanogenMod: Honami on my Sony Xperia Z1 phone.
This is my first time ever installing CyanogenMod, and to be completely honest, I am not sure how everything works.
I have a few questions about it, and I would be really grateful if someone answers.

Is Honami still being supported with software updates for security?
Is it still based Android Lollipop or has it been upgraded to Marshmallow?

The last snapshot was released in 2014, but in September, several nightly versions were released.

Does this mean that it's still being supported?

Thank you fro any and all answers.

Yes, you are right, I apologize.

However, it is very difficult to find any information about end-of-life dates and such on CyanogenMod's site. I've been trying to find this information for several days, so I thought that I may find someone who uses Honami who could answer these questions.
The most important question to me is whether CyanogenMod is still being supported with security updates or not.
It's a community project, so I am assuming that it's still being supported, but I want to be sure before I unlock my phone's bootloader and install CyanogenMod.

custom roms on sony are hit and miss

got a z1 compact myself but to be honest it's not worth the trouble because there are bound to be issues and you fuck up the camera quality

Yes, I read that it is possible to lose access to several proprietary hardware features if you flash CyanogenMod.

Had the same phone.

>Only fuckin outdated CM 11.x available as stable version
>Installed it anyway
>Slow as shit
>Drains battery at the speed of light
>Fucks up camera pictures
>Fucks up Wifi


>Back to stock rom
>Everything is perfect

This is my second phone I tried CM on and it is still completely shit. Never again!

you make security updates waaay too much of an issue my dude. you dont need cutting edge only 6 hours behind

cm12.1 is 5.1 so no lollipop for you, but check xda
as far as i know latest cm nightlies ship with latest security updates but come on just look it up yourself

CM is overrated these days. Just look for a ROM that has support for what you need, throw Xposed on and you'll be fine. I did a heap of modding on a few S2's, my S5 and my S3 in particular. Currently running Exodus in my S5, few things are broken but it's mostly fine and backups/restores are too tedious for me to be worried. I hoard my shit.

>>57383338
Yes, this is what I have been thinking about doing, too.
Thank you for the answer! :)

You're not the first to say this to me; I have a friend who installed CyanogenMod and found it pretty slow. This is making me a bit hesitant to install it.


Thank you for all the answers, everyone! :)
