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.

Notes:
Builds on/after Dec. 24 will have LVMv2 implemented (thanks to @Meticulus), where mmcblk0p13 (/system), mmcblk0p14 (/system/vendor), and mmcblk0p16 (/data) are placed in a logical volume group. This enables /system to be enlarged from 290MB to 600MB (or more as necessary later on). The packages that were removed from the first build (Apollo, File Manager, etc.) have all been re-added. Also, the removal of the vendor hack means that from now onwards, there is no need to reflash gapps after updating the rom.

-Installation Notes
--On the first flash, if the system logical volume is not present or
is less than 600M there is an assert error. This is so that if anyone
needs to backup information contained in /data, they can. In order to
proceed with the installation, the zip must be flashed a 2nd time.
--During the 2nd flash partitions in the logical group are wiped and
the logical volumes are created and formated then the /etc/fstab and
/etc/recovery.fstab are switched so that, when we hand everything off
to the normal rom installer, the new logical volumes are mounted.

-Reverting to a PRE-LVM ROM
--In the YP-G70 the "recovery", be it CWM or TWRP and in the kernel's
recovery-ramdisk. So in order to get a different recovery you just
flash a different kernel. So to get back to a PRE-LVM ROM, you just:
1. Reboot to recovery like normal.
2. Flash your PRE-LVM ROM like normal.
-- Note: All we really care about at this point is that the kernel
(boot.img) gets flashed. Ignore any other errors!
3. After the flash, Power off.
4. Hold volume up and power on, till you get to recovery.
5. Full wipe, including /system

Installation Instructions:
1. Reboot to recovery and make backup.
2. Do a full wipe.
3. Flash rom. You will see an error pop up. This is perfectly normal. Flash the rom again
4. Flash Gapps.
5. Flash US kernel if necessary
6. Have fun!

Update Instructions:
1. Reboot to recovery and make a backup
2. Wipe cache/dalvik cache
3. Flash rom
4. Flash US kernel if necessary.
5. Enjoy!


The links below are old downloads; please see the Downloads tab at the top for current release:

ROM: cm-11-20140517-UNOFFICIAL-venturi.zip - 175.13 MB
Gapps: Any will work, but I recommend PA's Mini Modular Package from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942.

Note: Builds now include a unified kernel, so there is no need to flash an additional kernel for any device

Previous builds

ROM: cm-11-20140414-UNOFFICIAL-venturi.zip - 170.86 MB
US Kernel: USA-Kernel-venturi-Apr-16.zip - 6.27 MB

ROM: cm-11-20140113-UNOFFICIAL-venturi.zip - 182.07 MB
US Kernel: cm11-USKernel-Jan12.zip - 5.80 MB

ROM: cm-11-20131224-UNOFFICIAL-venturi.zip - 176.60 MB
US Kernel: cm11-USKernel-Dec24.zip - 5.76 MB
Gapps: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319196268


Notes: This includes the fixes made by Meticulus to the camera, so now the back facing camera takes pictures if you set it to VGA. Note that if you are updating from the previous build, there is no need to reflash gapps. However, US users still need to flash the US kernel after flashing this rom.

If you are coming from a build before Dec. 24, keep in mind that data will have to be wiped in order for lvm to be setup. The installer will give you a warning the first time you try flashing and then error out so that you can backup your data if you forgot, and then you can flash the zip again.

Notes:
LVMv2 Implemented, see above notes

Rom: cm-11-20131215-UNOFFICIAL-venturi.zip - 158.50 MB
US Kernel: cm11-USKernel-Dec15.zip - 5.29 MB
Gapps (Go to the downloads link and grab the gapps core zip): http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2012857
Notes:
1. Our system partition is a little tight on space, so i had to remove a few packages during compilation so that everything fits. The things i have removed should all be replaceable with 3rd party apps. Here is a list of what has been removed and what you can use as a substitute:

CMWallpapers  - Google images
Apollo - Any music app
CMFileManager - Any file manager
LockClock - Deskclock
CMUpdater - this is for official cm roms so there was really no need for this

2. Use the Gapps I have linked. Standard Gapps wont work because they are too big for the system partition.
3. This is a beta build, so things may crash or eat your cat. Flash at your own risk and make sure to make a backup before flashing
4. The rom includes the INTL kernel, so US users need to flash the US kernel every time after flashing/updating this rom.

Would it be possible in the future to be able to repartition an external SD card so you could add more space for system apps?

Well a solution we were looking into was increasing the size of the system partition during updating like the aries people have done

What app are you using to edit build prop?

If recovery is broken then there is probably not a way to flash this rom with twrp. You could try grabbing the boot.img from the zip and use something like flashify to install it (although im not sure if it would work)

This is awesome! Keep up the good work!

I'll probably put screenshots here too.

 

[aznflawless]

Very nice! Cm11 Lovin' it!
Though is there a way to get transparent status bar? Transparent status bar doesn't seem to working.

 

[annoyingduck]

Oh my... Flashing this immediately! Thank you!

That same flag is in your build, just comment it or remove it in your build.prop should suffice though there's something from CM that should come soon regarding this functionnality.

So changing low ram to false will enable the transparency? Did I read that correctly?

What app are you using to edit build prop?

Rom Toolbox and the built in text editor, both no go. also unable to apply fonts from rom toolbox and can't delete bootanimation to replace with other bootanimation.

update 12/17: installed SuperSU and romtoolbox now works correctly, seems built in super user not working fully like in initial release of 4.3

 

[TheRealBubba]

Hot diggetty!

however, as I understand the paradigm, steps 7 and 8 are in the wrong order in the instruction list:

Installation instructions:
1. Make a backup!
2. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache.
3. Install rom zip
...

Yes. I just did it. Transparent status bar works now!

 

[zardak]

Works nice for me, thank you for this

For Those who are getting errors (eg. status 7), just flash a 4.3 rom based before jumping from 4.2 to 4.4.
@iurnait
Have you ever heard about Viper4Android? Well, I really like that app, and is a must have for me, but the last rom where it works is CM 10.1 (4.2.2) and looks like that the problem can be fixed by the rom maintener, just have a look here
If is it possible to get Viper4Android works on KitKat in this device should be really nice for me
