Hey XDA!
I have been making custom LX CM11 builds for my iyokan. I thought I'd release them here.
Credits to mikeioannina, CyanogenMod Team and others who made LX possible. I am just making minor changes to their hard work.
I will try to keep up with latest LX and CM changes but their are no guarantees. This work is provides as is.
WARNING: This ROM uses a modified internal memory layout. You can BRICK your device.
Our /system partition is originally 400MB but this space is not enough for a fluid kitkat experience and a full installation with proper google apps.
Our /cache partition is also too small to fit art-cache when we enable the ART runtime. We originally had 100MB /cache but art-cache needs ~150mb of free space.
I have repartitioned the internal memory layout, giving:
353.5mb in /system
570mb in /data
4mb in /cache
If you want to use this ROM you will always have to use the included kernel or use a kernel that includes the layout changes. Bug reports with non-standard kernels will be ignored.
You will have to wipe the device and make a clean install.
You cannot restore nandroid backups from previous android versions or restore nandroid backups from this ROM to other ROMs that don't use the new partition layout since you risk corrupting the data.
I suggest to use Titanium Backup, Helium or any other similar app to backup your data if you really need to.
Requirements:
* Have the stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587 full ftf flashed (doesn't matter if you have flashed it in the past or if you flash it before installing cm11.0, it will work both ways)
WARNING: If you are coming from mike's LX CM11, FLASH STOCK FTF first and follow the instructions below.
Steps required for correct installation (order is important):
1: Flash boot.img in fastboot & reboot into recovery
1.1 (optional): If the device is not booting, reboot to bootloader again and run:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
2: Enter recovery, go to mounts and storage
3: Format /system, then /data and then /cache (Important step!)
4: Flash update zip
5: Flash gapps (recommended package is the one provided in the link below)
Steps 1.1, 2 & 3 are not needed when you install new builds of iyokanLX CM11 on top of older iyokanLX CM11 builds in the future.
If you want to return to a ROM that doesn't use the new partition layout, you need to follow the above steps again (only replace boot.img & update zip with the ones you want to use).
