MD5SUM: 73977a4def08387436f45e1bf7fdd5e3- New partition layout and switch to emulated storage
NB! Requires new recovery and a complete wipe!
BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA!
Download recovery: recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.1-ancora.zip
Flash it in old recovery. Then go to "advanced" menu, and select reboot recovery. When new recovery has loaded, select wipe data/factory reset, then go to "mounts and storage" menu and select format /system. Then select "format /data and /data/media" (NB. only needed the first time installing the rom). Now you should make sure you have put the rom file on an external sd card. Install that and gapps the normal way. You can also use adb sideload.
The change of partition layout is done because CM12 requires it, and implementing the same in CM11 makes it easier for everyone to switch between them, since the same recovery can be used. For more info on the new layout, see here: https://github.com/arco/android_device_samsung_ancora/commit/d1cb921fb3ecd3e90a35da2af6a878aa294f168d
Another benefit is that it's now possible to install the full gapps package.

- Google Apps (UPGRADE REQUIRED)
- PA GApps
Micro Modular recommended
- PA GApps
- Install AppBak from Market, run it and save a list of all your apps.
- Install SMS Backup and Restore from Market, run it and backup your SMS history.
- Install Call Logs Backup and Restore from Market, run it and backup your call log history.
- Boot into CWM5 recovery. Make a full backup. You will need this backup later if you decide to go back to your previous ROM and data.
Install
- Use CWM6.
- Warning: Only use this recovery to flash CM-11.0. Otherwise, you risk bricking your phone, or you might experience boot and stability issues!
- Warning: Only use this recovery to flash CM-11.0. Otherwise, you risk bricking your phone, or you might experience boot and stability issues!
- Wipe data and cache.
- Flash update*.zip.
- Flash gapps*.zip. You must flash gapps after every upgrade to CM11.0 since /system is formatted, wiping your previous add-ons.
- Reboot phone.
- After you setup your Google account, reinstall the three apps from Market in order to restore most of your apps, call log and SMS history.
- Warning: Do not restore backup data of system apps!
- If you restore a bad backup with cached settings in telephony.db in data/data/com.*.*.telephony it can break MMS.
- It seems that restoring backups can also break Calendar sync.
Upgrades from previous versions of CM11.0 are the same process as install, except you do not need to wipe anything. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to even wipe cache and dalvik-cache when upgrading between CM11.0 versions. You only need to wipe if you are doing a major upgrade, switching to a different ROM entirely, or attempting to fix bugs caused by bad backups or corrupt app data.
