19This ROM is discontinued. The successor of CyanogenMod is LineageOS which can be found in the corresponding Thread. The Downloads will be left here for the time being.
Disclaimer: Flash at your own risk! Backup your data before flashing! I am not responsible for bricked devices, World War III or your exploding cats!
Warning: The SGP611 images are not tested, but just built by me, as I do not own the device. But as the two devices are the same except for the 4G Modem, it should work. If not, please let me know.
About:
As my beloved SGP621 was just collecting dust, I decided to try porting Android 7.1 AOSP onto it. That worked well, so I moved on to CM 14.1
And voila, with a few tweaks here and there, it works (for the most part). But this is still considered BETA, so be warned and flash at your own risk.
What works:
- Display
- Sound
- WiFi
- 4G Data
- Bluetooth
- NFC (somewhat flakey)
- LED
- Magnetic Cover Sleep/Wake
- Double-Tap to wake
What doesn't work:
- FM Radio (It works, but only if Bluetooth is off and breaks if BT is on while Radio gets enabled)
- Camera (Taking Pictures works, but sometimes the camera is not able to connect. Taking a video crashes the mediaserver.)
- LiveDisplay is not working correctly
- Performance Profiles cannot be set (CM14.1 issue)
- You tell me
If your battery depletes rapidly, please disable NFC and check if it betters things. Then comment here, so I can look into it.
Flashing Recovery (This only applies if you do not have one already. If you do, go to the Flashing section below):
If you flash for the first time, you first need to download the CM recovery for your device from below.
To flash it, you need to put your tablet into fastboot mode (VolUp + plugging in USB-Cable) and then flash the recovery like this:
If you come from stock or from a ROM that does not support Recovery on the FOTAKernel partition, you also need to fastboot flash the boot image for your device before rebooting into recovery.Code:fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery-scorpion.img
Code:fastboot flash boot boot-scorpion.img
Flashing:
If you installed the recovery to the FOTAKernel partition then, while booting, get your device into recovery mode, by hitting VolUp multiple times once the LED flashes purple. Do so until it turns orange. (If you already have another recovery installed, boot into it.)
Now select install from adb sideload and from your computer issue:
Code:adb sideload cm-14.1-(DATE)-UNOFFICIAL-scorpion(_windy).zip
gapps:
CM14.1 was tested with open gapps for Nougat 7.1 arm (nano confirmed working, others could be problematic)
Tips for better battery life:
I installed Naptime to trigger deep doze as soon as the tablet goes to sleep. I also enabled zzmoove cpu gov and noop scheduler in the kernel options. Because of the high display brightness. This leads to me getting standby battery consumption of around 1.2% per hour (measured with GSam Battery Monitor) which is nearly the same amount I got with stock.

The first version of LineageOS is here. It will most likely replace CM14.1 and can be found in this new thread. Here are the goods:
Changelog (LineageOS):
05.01.2017 - V1:
- Switch to Lineage Sources
- Newest security patches and fixes by Sony, QCom and Google

Flashing from CM14.1:
If you want to upgrade, you need to take special care and follow the instructions here or you could end up with a bootlooping device. Anyways, as always, before you try to upgrade, make a backup. I repeat, MAKE A BACKUP! LineageOS is now enforcing SELinux, which leads to all kinds of complications, but makes the device more secure in the end and is well worth the extra effort needed. So lets get to it then.
First you need to have twrp recovery, as cm recovery is, for some reason we have not been able to figure out yet, not capable of installing GApps to the device. After that, flash the update.zip any way you want (via SD or sideload) and DIRECTLY after flash GApps (if you use them. If not you should be good to go). If you forget to flash GApps you will end up in a bootloop. But do not panic, it can be fixed by (you may have guessed) rebooting back into recovery and flashing GApps.10Lineage OS is being checked out. Will do a build tonight and test if upgrade from CM14.1 works without problems. Then it is to decide if I rename this thread or open a new one. And then hopefully in a few days time, a functioning build will be provided here for you to download and enjoy

That sounds very strange and more like a hardware defect than a software one. My battery is relatively empty, so I will try to get it to low power shutdown and report back about the behavior of my device then.
Could others please confirm that GPS is not working for them on Windy? A friend of mine keeps insisting, that GPS works on his windy with no problems, without the fix..?

In other news. Lineage OS builds and is able to upgrade the latest version of CyanogenMod. All features that used to work seem to still work, but there is still a little more testing involved before I release the flashable images. So stay tuned.8New Version is up (V2 03.12.2016). Now a flashable zip
Disclaimer: Please make a backup before flashing this. There were massive changes in CM as well as in the overall structure of my ROM. Updating should work flawlessly, but I can not guarantee it.

- Switched to flashable zip (can still provide img files if needed)
