CyanogenMod 11.0 for Samsung Galaxy Mini 2​

Notice:
Because the ROM is only tested on GT-S6500D, only this variant of Mini 2 is supported by me (since I only have this variant of Mini 2).
Functionality can be broken on other variants.

The ROM theoretically can be installed on:

• GT-S6500
• GT-S6500D
• GT-S6500L

Notice 2:
Uploading my files elsewhere (mirroring) is not appreciated.
If you need to add my files somewhere else, just post the link to my goo.im account.

Could someone test if the white screen still appearing in kitkat ? I can see that the kernel has been changed from 3.0.x to 3.4.x :3

Thewhisp didn't create the cm11 file on goo.im until now he said that he need few hours test it then upload it but he has linked it so when he upload it the link will be available without editing the post that's all so be patient

I am rebuilding. Since SELinux is now set to enforcing on kitkat, FM had some problems, so it won't be available in this release yet. Consider this as a preview release

Some notes:

1) If you decide to use ART:
* It will increase the size of your apps
* Updating from one release to another will take quite a time (since all apps needs to be rebuilt)
* Performance increase is barely noticeable
* It is still in beta

2) How to get kitkat goodies: edit build.prop, change ro.config.low_ram to false
