Hi,

First, I would like to say you a big THANKS for maintaining kitkat so long. I am a long 4.4.4 user, since when it appeared on S2 (I still have it), and I don't know how I will do after. I tried different newer versions, 5, 6, 7, and I'm not really happy with them.

Now, I have a question about the links in OP. There are two possibilities in "extra kernels". I would like to know the differences between #1 and #2. #2 does not seem to have a mirror anymore :/

And, maybe you have a suggestion for what version could potentially replace kitkat, in general and especially on the s4 ?

Regards,

SideCore kernel from here adapted for LineageOS 11.0. I removed SideCoreAudiutor, not compatible with kitkat.

All credits to @side

I also made a zip for people who want to have Xposed framework, it will flash three files from an old cm11 build : bin/app_process, lib/libandroid_runtime.so and lib/libdvm.so.
After flashing Xposed_fix.zip just install the framework with the official installer.

    i9505 LineageOS (former CyanogenMod) 11.0 - ABANDONED

    LineageOS (as well as CM did until December 2016) still maintains the cm11.0 / 4.4.4 sources to keep pace with 'The Android Security Bulletin' (ASB).
    https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/index.html.
    Patches for security issues are released at least once a month to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) repository.
    Patches for Android 4.4.4 are not provided by ASB anymore.
    This means, security wise Android 4.4.4 is formally dead.
    Nevertheless there are a few enthusiasts, still backporting security patches from recent Android versions to 4.4.4.
    You should know, such backports are no formal ASB security patches.
    Therefore the security patch level of this ROM is named: Unofficial Security Backport "December 2019".


    Despite of implementing these security patches by the LineageOS team to its own repository https://github.com/LineageOS,
    LineageOS does not provide cm11 builds anymore.
    Since I personally like 4.4.4. more than later versions, I build it myself unofficially and would like to share it.
    The build is made from LineageOS "Branch: cm-11.0" PLUS ASB security patches, even if they are not yet approved by LineageOS.

    Extra Kernels:
    #1: LOS 14.1 Kernel for the LOS ROM 11.0 S4
    It turned out (thanks to side), the LOS 14.1 kernel works in conjunction with LOS 11.0.
    Just a small modification to its ramdisk was needed.
    Benefit: Security wise the LOS 14.1 kernel is much more advanced compared to the LOS 11.0 kernel.

    #2: 14.1 SideCore Kernel by Lenny Bard modified to work in conjunction with this LOS 11.0 ROM
