Samsung Galaxy A5 has just scored an alpha build of CM12.1 for itself. The ROM is being developed by faust93 over at XDA and is in very early stages at the moment, but the developer has stated that “The hardest part is almost left behind so it is a time to find and fix minor bugs”.

The ROM is only avaialble as alpha right now and once most of the bugs are sorted out and the device tree is ready for other variants Galaxy A5, stable builds will be released.

People looking forward to Galaxy A5 CM12.1 builds, or willing to help with finding bugs and accelerate development can grab the ROM file from the download links at this XDA thread.
