[DEV][ROM][ION][STABLE] CyanogenMod 11 | RC4 | Development thread | FINAL RELEASE

galaxyfreak · Oct 22, 2014

CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.4 (KITKAT), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

Code:

#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/

CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Congrats on getting this done. Best of luck for future builds

Some c*ap that can be removed IMO for those who want to try it :
Charging animation (for now)
Loads and loads of unnecessary ringtones
Apollo
CM Wallpapers (its pretty big in size)
CM File manager
SoundRecorder
STK

and you know the remaining.

I don't think this is considered even close to a daily driver.. so no. no gapps only ROM..

Since the preview build obviously doesn't fit into the internal NAND, open up updater script, and replace with these lines

Code:

Next, unpack boot.img, and ramdisk, open up ramdisk and open up fstab.pico...

Replace this:

Code:

/dev/block/mtdblock3     /system      yaffs2     ro,barrier=1                                       wait

with this:

Code:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2     /system      ext4     ro,barrier=1                                       wait

What I found :

Bluetooth works
Toast notifications's are new
WiFi doesn't work (switches on, but doesn't find any networks)
RIL working
Not much customization options
~200 MB free RAM at boot
ART probably doesn't work (phone's still on bootanim)
wtf!? I think ART's booting Optimizing app 4 of 72
edit: ART Doesn't work! Hell lot of FC's :\
USB probably ain't working, and ADB too
SD Card not mounting
Camera Missing!
Gesture typing not working
Lockscreen clock not sized properly

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

edit: added sweep2wake kernel
Here's flashable zip for kernel with sweep2wake

P.S. Mounts sd-ext as system, so,... make sure you've installed cm11 with above method

View attachment cm11_s2w.zip

So, that's about it... Waiting for more stable builds... Currently got some bragging rights, thanks to @galaxyfreak, swiping phone, opening up the KitKat Easter Egg, and all, but seriously, we could use some more stable builds...
[/HIDE]

Oh, and BTW, click the "tip us?" button on the thread... SD Card isn't fixed!? never mind

It will be, in next build... OP said it was an easy fix
