Sorry, but I haven't worked on it for several months now. All my spare time got lost because of other projects.

4I'm not allowed to post into Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development. So I have to use this forum which is definitely the wrong place.
I've forked the old CM-11 branch for the Galaxy I9100G, translated it to the LineageOS brand (like for the boot animation) and compiled it with LineageOS' Android 4.4.4 Sources including Patches from Google up until July 2017.
first rom image download:

newer build with a little newer kernel:

(still waiting for AFH upload/dev membership, so I have to use some other one-click-hoster)
Feel free to fork the sources and compile yourself. I used the following guide / how-to, with the exception of "i9100g" instead of "manta" as the target for breakfast, brunch, etc.:

And of course I have modified the part for the i9100g, you can find my sources on github:
https://github.com/hede5562/android_device_samsung_i9100g/tree/cm-11.0
Clone them to ~/android/system/device/samsung/i9100g/ if you use the guide in question.
All other sources (including the kernel) are provided by the LineageOS repository (https://github.com/LineageOS) - they get automatically downloaded if you follow the guide.4Correct, that's the right repository. Thanks. Hopefully my reputation will rise the next days so that I can link to binaries (image files), screenshots, etc. so others can test it.
BTW: I know this CM-11 image is quite useless if there are working CM-12 and CM-13 builds. At least CM-12 seams to be quite stable. (This one seems even more stable; I cannot reproduce known bugs on CM-12/13 like GPS, flashlight, network selection -> it's all working here.)
Nevertheless my main intention is to show: There are still patches to Android 4! If you are using Android 4 that doesn't implicitly mean you are vulnerable to known security issues. (Nothing new for most people here I think.)
And btw. maybe there are other use cases I don't think about right now ... I just wanted to play with the Android build system.

I just installed lineage-11-20170830-UNOFFICIAL-i9100g and I must say it works flawlessly.
Thanks for all the effort you put into this. Vielen Dank!
For the record, I used the following gapps, downloaded from here: http://opengapps.org/
3Well done and keep it up. I think this lineage 11.0 build is still useful for some people.
Especially because lineage 12.1 sources do not get android security patches any longer, which also runs well on i9100g. And newer versions have some problems with gps and sound.
edit: t1 kernel sources are old, with lot of security fixes missing. I noticed espressowifi/espresso3g have switched to a new kernel lately. It's a kernel for galaxy tab and nexus devices (omap4). It's well maintained, but i think no one wants to spent 'countless hours' to add i9100g support.
About android patch level: cm-11.0 branch often gets those patches between mid or end of month. August patches were added 27./28.08. but are still unmerged. But at least this branch gets updates.2Playing around with kernel patches...
I won't update to some newer kernel, but an increased sublevel is still possible.
The CyanogenMod/LineageOS kernel sources for t1 (I9100G) are based on Linux 3.0.31. There's 3.0.101 as the latest 3.0-version. The android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412 actually is 3.0.101, so why not also update android_kernel_samsung_t1 to 3.0.101?
Challenge accepted. First tests are promising. I patched 31->32->33->34 so far and most things work without much manual interaction.
And btw: It's September in a few hours but the patchlevel is still July... I think I have to investigate further into this.
