CyanogenMod custom ROMs are famous for a lot of things. Something people do not know is that a huge upside of the CyanogenMod custom ROM is the privacy. When we grant an application from the Google Play Store certain permissions, it doesn’t have to stay that way forever. We know this thanks to the encryption for your texts that CyanogenMod comes with when you install the ROM.
The Resurrection Remix custom ROM doesn’t come with that same kind of upside with encryption, but it does have many features of its own that will also have it holding its own against the CyanogenMod builds. Furthermore, I’m personally friends with many people who say the Resurrection Remix custom ROMs are even more stable — something that the official CyanogenMod team prides themselves on.

Hello,
If you are ever unsure about what particular version a ROM is for always click the download link and the specific information is always available on that page.
After taking a look for you on that page, I can’t see anywhere stating that this Resurrection Remix ROM is for a particular model number, and thus I would assume that it can be installed on all versions. However, that is just a guess. If you do not feel confident, then you can always leave a message on that download link thread and ask them.
