Introduction

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. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). 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 our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.

Instructions

First time flashing CyanogenMod 12.1 on your device, or coming from another ROM?
Download the zip(s).
Install a compatible Recovery
Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM (Optional)
Wipe data & cache partitions of your device (required when coming from stock!).
Flash CyanogenMod.
Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.

I'm​ providing the twrp download link since the one uploaded by shaky156 isn't accessible anymore. I'll remove it if the dev requests it.

I just tried to flash the zip but it ended in error saying this package is for device teratab , this device is tegranote..
Edit : my device is indian variant xolo tegra note 7.
Edit 2: I flashed op recovery and that gave me error but I reverted back to twrp which I had earlier. After that I successfully flashed the ROM and pico gapps. Booted and them used supersu 2.81 beta which have issue so better stick to either 2.79 if you want or wait for that update. But I wanted magisk so I flashed it and got root too . though safety net checks fails but that doesn't matters me. Right now I am typing this through tegra tab itself and gonna test it fully. WiFi works and other thing I will post after checking... Thanks again.

Edit the updater script and replace tegratab in it with tegranote.

Yes I was about to do the same... But then I revert back to twrp which I had earlier.. the recovery provided in op is old i guess... And now it successfully flashed... Flashing gapps waiting to boot... Yaayyy... Thanks to dev!

Great to hear it by the way can you upload the twrp somewhere and give me the link so that I can edit the op.

 

[yasteora]

wow nice

I can't believe I looked just for fun if this xda thread is still alive as I wanted to look for ROM and you upload beta version of CM12 just today? I love you !

sure.. check the pm.

how do i do this?

ok ! i do it!

Huh. I thought the device development was dead for sure. I watched the announcement thread about CM 12.1 for quite a while now but stood silent as i was skeptical. because Nvidia's kernel source is a mess for many devs, no custom development existed except the kernel by shaky (which seems to be discontinued by now). So i wasn't sure if you would really be able to have that patience to go through Nvidia's source code. But here you are with the very first custom rom release for this device. Congrats to that ^^

Anyway. Since its still a very fresh custom rom i had some questions about it:

What features does the kernel come with (overclocking cpu/gpu, new cpu governors)? Or is it just stock features implanted for now? (Mabye new stuff in the future?)

How does the rom perform compared to stock in terms of speed (loading times, smoothness etc)? Also what about gaming performance?

What about the features in general?
-nvidia specific features like stylus launcher, selectable part of screen to make a screenshot of with stylus etc
-is hdmi out fully working?

Thanks in advance

One thing I would really like to see is the ability to disable that NVidia PRISM feature that adjusts display contrast to save power but also makes the image look awful most of the time. It's one of the toggles that NV's 5.1 release didn't include.

Here is small review, didn't faced any crashes yet.. smooth and feels of cm12.1 as it is...
I fully charged tab, and kept whole night to see any battery drain and for around 8hr it's reduced from 100% to 96% which is good and much better than stock one.
Camera is good, whats you can expect from this. But there is issue with video, both side front and rear cam video get recorded but unable to play through gallery or xplore app, but they get played via vlc android player.
I checked HDMI , i have converter so I conneted to my fhd tv and it connected at hd configuration of 720p, and also the resolution was miss matched maybe due to 720p but I'm stock it was correct. I hope skoar fix this cause I connect device to tv for playing games... Lol..
Live display works once I switched on GPS. GPS work well too.
Let's see the performance and sot as I used more. I have attached overnight drainage battery status ss.
Sometimes I feels lags or shutter suddenly but for few sec and that too not much frequent.
The stylus works as our normal touching finger ,no extra features like stock one. No complaints though
I haven't added apps yet only greenify and few one. The battery uses is high , hope dev can reduce it cause while writting this i get down to 65% from 71%

This is cm12.1 so here we will get adaptive brightness and live display feature which are good

You're right about the kernel source it's a big headache. I worked on it for sometime but frustration got the better of me so I extracted the stock boot image and used the zImage as the prebuilt one that way it temporarily solved the kernel problem. So the features are same as stock. I think I might be able to get the kernel to work. I've made considerable progress there. As for the launcher I completely removed it. It was giving force closes and since the stylus is working I don't think it's that necessary. I hope you guys will agree on this one. As for the performance I think it's better than the stock one but at the end of the day the truth is nvidia guys messed up with the lollipop update. They made it a lagging and stuttering ****. Since I'm using their lollipop sources so I inherited some of them. Gamming performance is good for me. When I'll be able to fix kernel sources I'll improve performance and battery backup. The ROM is currently in beta stages so bear with me for now. I hope this answers all of your questions. But for the time being I gotta catch up with studies. Try to get shaky on board for kernel development. He has done it once and hopefully will be able to do it again.

Thanks for the honest review really appreciate it. For performance and battery backup read the earlier post and I'll see about the video playback and hdmi bugs.

I think it's already disabled. But I'll take a look anyway and like mahesh said you've got much better features now
