Android 4.4.4 KTU84Q / UNOFFICIAL CyanogenMod 11.0 (synced with CM/AOSP codebase 28th Nov 2015) for HTC Desire (GSM)
This is my personal rom -- source build from CyanogenMod 11.0 codebase by using portions from Evervolv (device tree, kernel, etc.). I have used few necessary modifications which I have learnt from other xda/github members (see in credits section).
Disclaimer
I am not the orginal author this ROM, I have just built it for my private pleasure. This ROM has been tested and verified to be stable for daily use, and even if I have spent a lot of my spare time into keeping it up-to-date, there may be some unknown bugs. Therefore be warned: If you rely on your device as it is your only phone be very cautious. If you decide to flash this ROM, you do it at your own risk and I am not responsible for any resulting damages!
About the rom
- Based on CM-11.0 codebase
- Some CM apps were removed to slim down the ROM (e.g. CMAccount, CMFileManager, CMWallpapers, etc)
- Trackball wake option in buttons menu (enabled per default)
- Tweaks for longer battery life and faster scrolling performance
- ART
- SELinux (disabled by intention)

Bugs in this ROM
- All bugs which are present in CM and Evervolv roms, e.g. Video Recording and MMS not working: You can try Videocam Illusion (audio at 44.1KHz!) and Textra SMS instead
- Sometimes the cLock widget does not display weather icons (Just remove the widget and add it again)
- According to user feedback, Exposed framework in combination with Gravitybox is no longer working on this rom!
Bugs with K3
- Some SD cards are not working with the latest rom version 2.0; In such case the rom gets stuck at the bootanimation, and you would find a bunch of logcat errors, e.g.:
-> Possible solution #1 if you want to stay with K3: try a different SD card..Code:I/dalvikvm( 95): Unable to open or create cache for /system/framework/conscrypt.jar (/data/dalvik-cache/system@framework@conscrypt.jar@classes.dex) D/dalvikvm( 95): Unable to process classpath element '/system/framework/conscrypt.jar' E/dalvikvm( 95): Could not stat dex cache directory '/data/dalvik-cache': No such file or directory
-> Possible solution #2: Flash this rom with K2
Please let me know if you find bugs. And please take a logcat if you encounter a FC (force close). Here you can learn to logcat like a pro!
Enable Developer Settings
--> Open up "Settings > About phone" and tap 7 times on "Build number".
