• Download this archive (Size=149342 MD5=9497D5087FEF04C1EA4EE215A3DC83B8) and extract there
• Create ZIP archive. Run in console:
  
  Code:

  zip -r9 full-pack.zip boot.img system META-INF

• Generate keys. Run in console:
  
  Code:

  openssl genrsa -out key.pem 1024
  openssl req -new -key key.pem -out request.pem
  openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in request.pem -signkey key.pem -out certificate.pem
  openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -outform DER -in key.pem -inform PEM -out key.pk8 -nocrypt

• Run signing archive. Run in console:
  
  Code:

  java -jar ${ANDROID_HOST_OUT}/framework/signapk.jar certificate.pem key.pk8 full-pack.zip full-pack-sign.zip

• Upload full-pack-sign.zip on FAT32 formated microSD card
• Turn-off tabled
• Insert microSD
• Press Power button while hold Volume Down button
• Release Power button when you'll see text in top left corner, some like "cleaning cache partition..."
• From opened menu select "wipe data/factory reset"
• Select "Yes -- delete all user data"
• Press on "install zip from sdcard" menu
• Select "choose zip from sdcard"
• In this menu select "full-pack-sign.zip"
• After installing press "Go back"
• Press "reboot device"

• Get a root access
  
  Code:

  adb root && adb wait-for-device

• Remount system partition with R/W permitions
  
  Code:

  adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system/

• Sync binaries
  
  Code:

  adb shell stop && adb sync && adb reboot

• Reboot to fastboot
  
  Code:

  adb reboot bootloader

• Select one of possible methods to use new boot partition
  1. Boot with custom kernel and ramdisk without flashing (boot partition will not be rewrote) - this mode useful for debugging kernel/root
     
     Code:

     fastboot boot ${ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT}/kernel ${ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT}/ramdisk.img

  2. Boot with custom boot.img without flashing (boot partition will not be rewrote) - this mode also can be used for debugging kernel/root
     
     Code:

     fastboot boot ${ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT}/boot.img

  3. Flashing new boot.img to boot partition
     
     Code:

     fastboot flash:raw boot ${ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT}/kernel ${ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT}/ramdisk.img

• Get a root access
  
  Code:

  adb root && adb wait-for-device

• Remount system partition with R/W permitions
  
  Code:

  adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system/

• Download this (i.e. GAPPS) archive (Size=16449776 MD5=C7E6FAAFE7223A17DE93DD1D7A968734)
• Extract it somewhere
  
  Code:

  mkdir GooglePack && cd GooglePack
  unzip googlepack.zip

• Stop dalvik virtual machine
  
  Code:

  adb shell stop

• Upload APK files
  
  Code:

  for f in `ls *.apk`; do echo "Uploading $f" && adb push $f /system/app/; done

• Remove Provision.apk - it looks like setup wizard, but SetupWizard.apk much powerful
• Reboot device to recovery and wipe data partition (use CWM "Wipe" menu for it)
  
  Code:

  adb reboot recovery

• Reboot device after wiping
• Use wizard on system start-up to configure your account
• Use Android Market to install GMail and other apps

adb logcat -b radio

Good point, but unfortunately I'd never seen CM source code. May be you can share link to CM Gerrit/Git with me?
