Original thread is located here: CM11 aka KITKAT 4.4.2

Direct download for RC4 CM11 RC4 with recovery

Direct download for RC3 CM 11 RC3

Direct Download for RC2 : CM11 RC2

Direct Download RC 1 with changelogs: CM11 RC1

Direct Download Beta 5 with changelogs:CM 11 Beta 5

Direct Download Beta 4 with changelogs:CM11 Beta 4

Direct download for new build with changelogs:New Build (GPS still not working)

Now flash the gapps from here : Gapps for cm11



For RC3 and RC4 you need awesome recovery older version.. Have attached the rcovery check the end of the post..


It is a special modified TWRP Recovery known as aw3som3 recovery.. This recovery increases our system partition.
Many users flash the aw3som3 recovery via app but its not a good process as this recovery changes the partition.

How to flash the aw3som3 recovery.
1. First fash THIS via your present recovery.
2. Now copy the downloaded recovery in a folder where adb and fastboot drivers are installed.
3. Connect your device in fastboot mode.
4. Open command prompt and type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img(If your recovery is named as recoveryv1 then instead of recovery.img type recoveryv1.img)
5. After succesful recovery flashing, again flash the attachment on first step then flash the rom.

You should freshly install RC1 and New build dont just flash over beta 4 or beta 5

Clean flash RC2

RC1 and New build has enough system memory for the gapps to work..

So no need to delete anything..

Installation instructions for RC2

1. Flash the rom. Remain in recovery.
2. Just after flashing rom flash : This
3. Flash gapps

You wont face any sign in errors..

GPS is not working in RC1.. Some users reported it to be working..


Installation instructions for beta 4 and beta 5 :

There are two methods:

1.Before Install

Open the zip.
Delete following files from rom zip:
term.apk
email.apk
exchange2.apk
browser.apk
cmfilemanger.apk (optional)

Now flash the rom and after first boot of the rom then flash the gapps..

2.After install

1.Open Titanium backup
2.Tap on Backup/restore option (Before uninstall it asks to take backup if you can backup the app then uninstall it)
3.Tap on the apps listed above.
4.Select uninstall
5.Done

If facing sign in error mount your partiton from settings -> extras-> tick on mount /data to /SD ext reboot then manually install Google Play services(Beta 4 and Beta 5 only).

You can find that in gapps zip in system/priv-app named prebuilt GMScore.apk like this..

Make sure your are on latest TWRP or philz or whichever recovery which mounts and supports ext mounting..

Check here for Philz Recovery : Philz Recovery

Check here hor TWRP : TWRP Recovery

Check here for CWM : CWM Recovery

There is no option to enable int2ext in RC2 like previous builds so you need ti flash the script.

If you are a user who doesnt install use or install many apps but want the memory increase:
Just go in settings-> Extras->Tick on /mount /sd ext option->Restart your device.(Not for RC2 as there is no option to enable ext))

If you are using many apps then refer this: (Its int2ext)Script or else you wont be able to download apps from playstore.

The reason for not able to install apps from playstore
The inbuilt script is int2ext+ Which leaves /data to /data (The reason and explanation in detail Check Here)

List of all scripts working check here: Cronmod Scripts

How to copy paste scripts and list of scripts : Check here

If you dont want to do any copy and pasting of scripts just follow this steps:
1. Open the rom zip .. Dont extract
2. Go to system/etc/init.d
3. Now copy the above script in the location given in 2nd step.. It will ask for replace replace it..(Not applicable on RC2)
4. Now flash the rom.
5. Done


You want to oc(Overclocking) refer this: OC kernal for beta 4

OC for beta 5/RC1: OC Kernel for beta 5/RC1 Instagram is not working in this OC Kernel.

OC for RC2 : OC Kernel for RC2

OC for RC4 : OCKernel for RC4
Partition for oc:
SD main-> SD ext (512 mb or more)-> SD cache (65 mb)
All partitions should be primary

SD ext and SD cache partition type should be same.

Ex if SD ext is ext4 then sd cache should also be ext4.

Hit Thanks guys
It will encourage me to make more helpful guides​

If facing sign in error install play sevices attached below..

Flash the ROM..
Now copy the script and paste it in the system/etc/init.d with permission rwxrwxrwx now restart.
Don't select the the mount ext option from extras..
Before copying the script make sure no apps are installed or else its gonna get stuck.

You need to delete the script from from rom zip then flash the rom.. the reasonn behind deleting the script is there will 2 scripts in init.d folder one in the rom and other made from m2sd this will lead to a bootloop so before using m2sd you need to delete the inbuilt script first.

thanks buddy but the problem is that i m getting the inbuilt script by default.
I don't activate it but automatically gets called. i did nothing. now i got 200 mb free space but fb is not installing and many other big apps too
and if i change scripts, it will not boot.

this is my experience just after flashing the rom when no apps were there.

also it never got installed over my ics rom, this rom has bugs related to memory scripts, i told the developer too but don't think he's going to do anything.

btw ty for help

The best way I will say is copy the int2ext script in the ROM zip then flash the ROM.. You can check in settings -> app you would see increased memory cz I m using this method and didn't face any issues ..

    Hello? after flashing memory script in RC2 memory shows 150mb or if i install manualy "copy files in etc folder" then i received insufficient memory error while downloading Apps from playstore....??

    Even i have faced that too..

    The thing is first flash super wipe..

    Then do a wipe factory reset wiping and all that stuff..

    Then flash the RC2 then flash fix..

    Let the phone bootup..

    Now copy the script in init.d folder.. Restart your device..

    Even after restart you find memory not increased again copy the script.. it will overwrite allow it..

    AFter memory increase flash the gapps package..
