I built this today using vanilla CM-11. I also included the recovery image that was built.

I did not test this, so use at your own peril, blah blah, brick your phone, blah, entertainment purposes only! Feel free to hit the thanks button.
Thanks G1 for sharing your build - much appreciated especially as I have no time to setup and learn how to build my own atm.
In fact, I don't even own a Nexus 5 yet, but I'm doing my learning and reading in case I bite the bullet and go for it very soon.

OK well that being said, anyone has tried that build and have feedback on it?

I was disappointed to read earlier today that on the last official CM11 nightly (or on the last snapshot -can't remember now), the wireless charging was not working: well that's a bummer!! Has it ever worked on CM11?

Other than that, I'm a bit surprised seeing that no one seems to be maintaining CM11 hammerhead anymore... I thought that this being a Nexus phone, tons of developers would be still on this (not everyone wants CM12 or M...). In fact, how come you guys never got the last 2 official snapshots from CM? The Motorola Atrix/Razr family phones all got a M12 and even a final snapshot back in June 2015 (which for some reason CM haven't called M13 but some strange alphanumeric build) - which was bringing important security fixes...

So now I'm a bit disappointed: I thought that the Nexus 5 would be one or the best phone (based on my other preferences -phone/screen size, etc) that I could buy to run CM11 on. But no wireless charging, no "recent" nightly builds (apart from the unconfirmed build above and btw, the Mega link for last official nightly on post #10059 is down), no final snapshot from CM, probably no heartbleed fix.... mmmm! Maybe a should have a second look into the LG G2 again...
:crying:
And btw, even if this thread is almost dead, I think anything CM12 related should not be posted here - but hey! I'm the n00bie here so I won't complain too much.
:cyclops:
Thanks for reading and I'd appreciate and will hit thanks for any reply in regards to the above.

Cheers and long live CM11!

I think most people have moved to cm 12.1 which is why development for cm 11 has slowed or stopped.

There are at least 2 threads here for the caf and non-caf versions. If you are studying ROMs, the differences might be interesting.

Anyone still using cm11 ? I really dislike lollipop, but i have a terrible memory leak in surfaceflinger that forces me to reboot my phone every 2 days. Anyone else facing this problem ? I have compiled cm11 from repositories and all surface flinger bugs are fixed there.

    Update inofficial build #18
    Built with CMs audio-caf (again), enable offloaded post processing effects bundle (cpu sleeps even with eq, bass boost etc. enabled), readd AudioFX equalizer app (sometimes takes two attempts to hook into the music stream, this appears to be an issue on bacon as well, will probably be fixed once it's open sourced), music sound is awesome, camcorder stereo sound is nice and with much less static than L's cam

    If this works, I will do my best to get our plain CAF HALs and make it a nightly. If you feel like discussing, do whatever you like...

    CM L first build. For root access, use SuperSU and (only once) a kernel with permissive SELinux rules. This will now be my daily driver, 11.0 is more or less a thing of the past now.

    cm-12-20141109-UNOFFICIAL-L-hammerhead.zip

    The kernel lacks the not-yet-pushed LGE IRQ patch that stopped the relase, so battery might be bad. Display gamma is there with full compatibility plus other important patches.

    There is a history of repeated blatant lack of respect for basic rules, such as not keeping original authorship, inapropriate wording and intended offenses. I cannot go into details without appearing as a disgruntled elitist prick to somebody that lacks more background info. Read through each and every single one of my postings here and anywhere else to understand that I never talk out of my butt.

    My share in the drama is naitivity about the traps of making a release ready for CM nightlies. Stupid me, I underestimated the hours it takes to finalize the details. But that's about it.

    With Sultan's awesome "**** the rules" attitude, we would have been ready at least one month ago. And now, just an inch before calling it "stable", even by the highest CM standards, everything just stops.

    In my job, I usually do 10-15% overtime because our business is flying. Then there is a family with wonderful kids who want to see their daddy. So basically the available timespan starts at around 10pm when the day is done and I exchanged the news with my wife. I rarely get more than 4 hs of sleep before real life is calling me again. Honestly, I love it like that. This is how most of the CM staff lives, I guess.

    There was a point when it became obvious that a) there appear to be flaws in CM repos that cause really bad errors (3 nasty ones from the known-bugs-list), b) nobody at CM appears to care and c) the regular nightlies are in such a bad state that I'm taking too much fire than I could handle. That was when I stopped updating github because the total number of available options and their pros and cons make it impossible to keep commit history appropriate for eventual nightly releases. That's just 10 or so days ago, actually...

    In this situation, I took the consequences exactly the way I described so time ago as I smelled it might come the way it came. See paragraph one, I always stand by my word. I can't comply with xda's rules without breaking my owns. I don't take unfounded accusations and threats, especially not with the above described history. 6 more hours of waiting until I got home from work at 9:30 pm yesterday would have probably saved everyone from this crap here.

    Hopefully somebody will take care for hammerhead. After yesterday's hilarious news from Google there is a bright future for our device. Or maybe several wonders happen at CM, that'd be fantastic.

    Unofficial update with fixed wireless charging, fixed voice messaging in Whatsapp, improved camera with hardware sound encoding, USB over OTG, Google's HDR cam broke by accident and is now ok again, lower system base load plus all the latest CM stuff. Had to switch hosting as you killed my Drive.
