Not working
- FM radio.
- Apps that expect newer libOMXVidEnc will not work, Skype is one example. Viber and WhatsApp are working.
- do not use stock browser for serious browsing, although it is working, it has bugs with adreno libs. For 2-step authentication on Google, it will do.
Upstream issues
SDCard not showing unmount option
Trebuchet crashing when you enable CM Home or Google Search as panel
Cyanogenmod stock camera app shows 4.5mp instead of 5 mp - camera works properly with other third party apps and takes 5MP pictures.

How to install:
You must update recovery with this one - TWRP 2.8.6.0 or this one Philz Touch 6.59.0 - ClockWorkMod 6.0.5.1- these two have SELinux support. Philz and CWM do not have support for F2Fs!
Install the recovery trough fastboot
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Reboot to recovery from fastboot
- make a backup of your current ROM to SDCard
- wipe -> do a factory reset
- wipe -> advanced wipe -> select only system and wipe
- install zips (rom and gapps)
- reboot to bootloader
if you are updating from previous CM11, you can dirty flash -> just wipe /system in Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, and install rom and gapps. No guarantees here.
Install boot image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
install boot.img that is inside the ROM that you downloaded
do not do fastboot erase cache
As of RC5, ROM now supports both EXT4 and F2FS in a same installation, and there is an easy way to switch back and forth between full EXT4 and F2FS setup, or any partition layout you would like (why would someone want this, I do not know, but the option is there).
Switching to F2FS from EXT4:
-
You must install TWRP 2.8.6.0 with F2FS support.
- install RC5 and gapps (optionally), flash boot.img and restart. Check that the ROM is working properly. Activate advanced reboot in developer options. Reboot to recovery.
- backup - make a nandroid backup of system, data and cache.
- wipe, advanced wipe - select system - change or repair file system - choose F2FS. Repeat this for data and cache.
- settings -> Check use rm -rf instead of format.
- restore -> this will restore your data to existing partitions without format.
- settings -> Uncheck use rm -rf instead of format.
- reboot
You will boot to full F2FS ROM, with all your data and settings intact. Check it out in terminal with
mount | grep f2fs
How to build:
Up to date sources on
github. (one patch for legacyMod frameworks_av is missing, will update device tree soon)
1. Follow instructions on
initializing a build environment up to a point of downloading the source code.
2. Initialize CyanogenMod 11 repo.
Code:
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0
3. Add local manifest that downloads HTC Desire C device config, properties and kernel source from my github and few CM replacement projects from legaCyMod github.
Code:
curl --create-dirs -L -o .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml -O -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/high1/android_local_manifest/cm-11.0/local_manifest.xml
4. Sync source code.
5. Update prebuilts
Code:
cd path-to/cm11/vendor/cm/
./get-prebuilts
6. Apply patches
Code:
path-to/cm11/device/htc/golfu/patches./apply.sh
7. Compile.
Code:
cd path-to/cm11/
. build/envsetup.sh
brunch cm_golfu-userdebug -jx
(x is number of your processor cores -+1)
'repo sync' to pull merged changes from upstream.
'make clobber' to clean the build environment.
Repeat step 7 to make a new build.
FAQ:
Q: I can't find developer options and performance settings, why?
A: Settings -> About phone -> Click 'Build number' several times
Q: I don't have reboot options in power menu, why?
A: Settings -> Developer options -> Advanced reboot
Q: Is ART runtime working?
A: Yes it is. Beware, it is not compatible with xposed framework.
Q: How to make fastboot and adb work with Windows 8.1? (Device enumeration failed error)
A: First, make sure you have this update installed -
http://www.microsoft.com/en-pk/download/details.aspx?id=43515 . Unzip
http://goo.gl/CAXglZ and merge it to your registry. HTC drivers must be installed, compatible with Windows 8.1 here:

Changelog
3.5.2015 changelog:
-
one ROM for both file systems - made multiple file system patch work on CM11, and update fstab and updater-script for that,
-
fixed black screen in call - updated touchscreen and proximity driver from cyanogen_htc_msm8960 3.4 kernel, and updated board definitions, so that the proximity sensor is now working properly
-
switched back to legacy OMX - camera recording is working, and the latest Viber is working properly. Skype is crashing due to old OMX libraries, but does not render the phone useless.
- using adreno libraries from TeamHackLGE - just for testing
- updated libqc-opt.so from TeamHackLGE repo - seems that this fixes some schedulers get stuck on lowest frequency.
- addes sioplus scheduler to kernel.
10.4.2015 changelog:

This all would not be possible without help - I looked up alot to KonstaT that makes CyanogenMod for ZTE Blade III, and a lof of this post is taken from his way of posting. KirmaniArslan helped to solve quite a few quirks, and posted patches actively, and started the development - his device tree was made bootable.
I expect logcats from all who will do testing, and hopefully we can fix the remaining bugs and let this device have fully working Cyanogenmod (Omni, Pacman, AOKP hopefully later). Also, with the release, you have full permission to use the source to build other ROMs, only requirement is that if you find a fix, you do a pull request at Github.
Regards, and enjoy the ROM as much as you can.
