Before installing, please make a nandroid backup of your data and then wipe your phone using Chillybean's Anti-Venom Super Duper Wipe inside of 4EXT Recovery. Install and use this ROM at your own risk. I am not responsible for any data loss or damage that happens to your phone. You have been warned.

On January 29, 2014, polymath257 posted an unofficial build of CyanogenMod 11 that he had compiled using Chillybean's instructions. I have now done the same thing, but with a newer build. I am merely a compiler, not a developer. All credit goes to @chillybean, Evervolv, and the CyanogenMod team. I also want to thank @polymath257 for helping me get started.

New build

I have just uploaded a 4/08/2014 build of CM-11.0:

http://d-h.st/0qa

The source from this is from chilly's and evervolv's material. From what I can see, YouTube works, but the camera is still non-functional. Wifi works. I do not have this connected to any other networks, so I cannot comment on anything further. This does require a kitkat compatible recovery to install.

Standard disclaimers apply. I am not a dev; I am just a compiler. All credit goes to chilly, evervolv, and CyanogenMod.

Please test and report back!

I got a Moto G LTE a few days ago, and despite being a low-end phone, it is much, much better than the Incredible 2. The difference in performance, stability, battery life and screen quality is night and day, and the LTE model has an SD card slot. My Incredible 2 is now setup specifically as glove box phone with CyanogenMod 7.2 to be used rarely if at all. I am almost certain that I won't be compiling any more software for the Incredible 2, unless something happens to my Moto G.

If you're using an Incredible 2 because you're low on money, try saving up for a Moto G or a late 2011 / early 2012 flagship like a Galaxy S3. The Moto G starts at US $179 off-contract if you buy it new, but you can also buy it used on Swappa, Amazon, eBay, Craigslist, etc.

If you're using an Incredible 2 because you're on a Verizon MVNO like Page Plus, the Boost Mobile version of the Moto G can be flashed to Page Plus (XDA thread, Howard Forums thread). There's also a model for Verizon prepaid that can only work on Verizon prepaid (no MVNOs). For either of those, use a Meenova and the Link2SD app to make up for the tiny internal storage. If AT&T or T-Mobile have sufficient coverage where you need it, consider switching from Page Plus to an MVNO on those networks so you can get a GSM phone. Visit the US prepaid section of Howard Forums to find affordable GSM MVNOs you might not have heard of.

The successor to the Moto G is expected to be announced in a few days, but from the leaks it appears to be a fairly minor change. 5.0" screen, 8 MP camera, front speakers, and possibly an SD card slot on all models, but everything else the same.

If you're absolutely stuck on the Incredible 2, try Lightning Launcher. It has a high learning curve, but is extremely lightweight. If you turn off reflections, etc., it can use as little as 6-7 megabytes of RAM. Combine that with this Incredible 2 advice post I wrote back in February, and hopefully the phone you're stuck with won't drive you quite as crazy.

To Chillybean, polymath, the B-Team, the Evervolv team, Aeroevan, the CyanogenMod team, Greenify, and anyone I'm forgetting, thank you so much for giving to the community and extending the useful life of our phones. You've been great!

Are you guys gonna compile CM with the updated Evervolv stuff?

Thanks. Sounds like I need to make a new build to try to fix those problems. I'll see what I can do.
