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.

IMPORTANT!

Bug Reports

* REPORT BUGS IN THE TOPIC ONLY.
* DON'T SEND ME PM MESSAGES ABOUT BUGS OR FEATURE REQUESTS.
* ONLY REPORT THE BUGS IN CM11. I DON'T PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR OTHER ROMS. POST IN THEIR RESPECTIVE THREADS.

Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE FLASHING!
1. If you flash this ROM from Stock ROM, it will wipe data due to different partitioning. The device would reboot while flashing and resume again.
2. Once on this ROM, the most effective way of going back to any other ROM would be to repartition from Odin.
3. While converting the filesystem, your efs that has your IMEI is backed up to /emmc/backup/efs. Keep a backup on your PC just in case.
4. Incase if you don't get a network signal, check if your IMEI and Baseband are proper. If not, go back to stock and try again.
5. Do NOT use Odin to flash Modems. Due to different partitions, Odin will screw up your existing MTD setup.


Stock ROM
1. Flash CWM Compatible Kernel (CF ROOT)
2. Reboot to Recovery.
3. Wipe Data / Factory Reset.
4. Select the ROM zip from your SD Card and flash.
5. The device will reboot and finish flashing.

Hi Dhiru.. Currently on it and its great work... A big thanks to you bro..

I have two questions.
1. How to SWAP SD Card.
2. How to disable Touchpad lights.

 

[ageback]

Oh God Dhiru you shocked me again!
But oops! I got stuck at the first boot screen. Previous was your CM10.2 A4. Flashed CM11 and gapps without wiping anything. After rebooting it stucked.

Edit: Tried clean flash from DDLF2 but still stucked after CM11A1 flashing.

 

[jayyu1983]

First look.. Awesome...
Unable to customize UI.. Seems like brightness is little higher even at the minimal level..

So far so good...

Hit Thanks if I have helped you...

By porting "CF-ROOT" for those CF-ROOT which make people phone boot loop .....funny hah...

well, i just want to ensure, our member are using the cwm or cf-root which Dhiru is using so, we can avoid unnecessary incompatibility between our so old cf-root. and also "why i get status 7 ? "

AWESOME. Amazing. Dhiru you're the best, seriously. Thank you for doing this. I hope you can make a stable ROM out of this. Thank you so much.

EDIT: Waited patiently for this... what are the absolute major bugs which effect everyday stuff? Phone calls/texts/app incompability/battery ... anyone who is using the ROM currently, please answer.
