Root [Virgin Mobile] CM12 for SPH-L710t?

Does it exist/is it in developement, I prefer Cyanogenmod over stock android and I really want a CM12 rom for my phone, any info is greatly appreciated :D
 
There is a CM12 Unofficial at XDA. If you go into XDA and hit up the Android Dev forums there are several different flavors of Lollipop to try out. I have tried LiquidSmooth, BeanStalk, SlimLP, and Vanir. I have found they are still kind of buggy and I have had problems with random reboots. Once on Vanir I had the phone shut itself off and not reboot itself, not good if you depend on it for an alarm clock o_O. I have also had battery consumption issues. I found that Vanir and a custom kernel I was able to get AMAZING results. Personally, I still suggest running a solid KK build for right now as a daily driver.

Thanks for the help but I have previously flashed the ROM and got an unknown baseband version. Since the time of this posting I have found a rom made by OctOs for the SPH-L710T that is CM12 based, it's close enough to what i'm looking for. Thanks anyway!

How is the OctOS? Specifically, how is battery life, random reboots, generally stability? I have been thinking about trying that and resurrection but haven't had the chance yet.

It's a very good ROM, the only issues I found were that switching through pages in the app drawer is very laggy. Also the camera doesn't work. And rarely when selecting the flashlight from quick settings your phone will randomly reboot.
