[ROM]CM11 4.4.2 - WiFi [KOT49H] [19/04/2014]- [native USB OTG (charging), DAC, etc.]

Hi

Thanks to Temasek and webdroidmt for info, native USB OTG works again.

Thanks to NetFluke, who managed to implement Timur Merhvarz patches, we have DAC hotplug support with volume adjustment. NetFluke also made kernel with OTG charging.


New 4.4.2 works really really smooth, ART and built in Superuser work.

How to install:
1. Reboot into recovery (I use TWRP 2.6.3.0)
2. Select advance wipe: dalvik cache, system, cache and data. Basically everything except internal storage. Just in case
3. Flash rom and gapps
4. Wipe dalvik cache and cache
5. Reboot

How to enable ART:
1. Select settings
2. Tap 7 times build number to enable developers options
3. In developer options tap on runtime and select ART
4. Reboot and wait

I recommend to enable ART before install any new applications. Works for me since rom is built.

Links:
All builds are here, just take the latest. 4.4.2 builds are in 442 sub folder. For rom with USB DAC support look here.

Gapps compatible with ART:
gapps-proper-art

Recently I use minimal gapps (playstore, syncing apks and libs, AOSP calendar sync) from here. I don't really need face unlock, Google now, search, etc. But you should be fine with full gapps. You can find two flashable gapps which I use here.

Gapps partially compatible with ART:
gapps-kk-20131119.zip
gapps-kk-20131119.zip - mirror

If you wish to try CyanogenMod Screencast:
- first join the CyanogenMod community
- then download CyanogenMod Screencast



I have Linux laptop dedicated for development and plan is to make clean build every few days or when CM team submit noticeable changes, test on my device, upload and post a link.

Changelog:
- search is not force closing anymore
- Newsstand works
- lock screen shortcuts
- expanded desktop
- buttons and layout
- quick launch shortcuts
- fn buttons
- more options in Interface menu (battery percentage...)
- OTG support
- DAC support
- OTG charging support with separate kernel


About ART, if someone haven't read already. May experience is exactly the same, a bit slower installation or first application start, much smoother later.

In case that something went wrong, you can restore dalvik without wipe:
$ su
# echo -n libdvm.so > /data/property/persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib
# reboot

Huge thanks to fattire for his guide and patient answers and of course to the CM team.

What's the difference between this and CM11

For now, no difference. Just another CM11 unofficial build. You may try this one, from someone else or build your own.
First I built for my self then realize that some users have problems with other builds. To avoid off topic or giving support for something I didn't test, I made decision to open new topic and share my builds here.

New build is made over night but didn't have time to flash and test. Will do after work.

Fresh new build, CM repo synced today. Tested on my device for about one hour (super user, art...), no visible changes. Link is in the fist post.

I cleared all cache and out directory for building tomorrow.

New build is up and running on my devices. Repo synced in the middle of night after great rock concert, building finished in the morning (my local time).

Work everything I tested, including ART, super user, RayMan and search is not FC any more or anything else.

Edit: Newsstand works fine.

The latest ROM is failing to install. Using twrp 2.3.6.1, it just says installation failed. Redownloading the ROM.

I use latest build all day today, maybe broken download or upload. Here is md5: e0f04a7d31a12e80f10a6238cc6851e2

Let me know if is broken and I'll upload again.

In mean time, I'm uploading file again. Build works really great

Thank you all for info. I also downloaded and md5 is fine. Anyway, just in case I will continue upload to dropbox.

Gapps, linked in first post, work with ART and I prefer smaller version. I can link also 245MB version but could you confirm that works with ART?

P.S.
I setup everything on my machine and new build is done much quicker now.
