CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 7.1 (Nougat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

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 information:
  • The following is NOT SUPPORTED: custom kernels, xposed, mods, supersu. Do not report bugs if you use any of those.
  • To report a bug, explain how to reproduce it and ATTACH LOGS (logcat and dmesg).
  • KitKat bootloader is required, you can find it on post 2.

Install instructions:
  • Reboot into recovery (latest TWRP required).
  • Wipe data, system and cache if it's a fresh install.
  • No wipes required if you're updating from a previous build of CM 14.x (wipe cache and dalvik cache recommended).
  • Flash ROM and Gapps. Reboot.

Bug reports:

cm-14.1 is in active development and still not considered stable. Please, try to focus on device specific bugs and don't complain about CM bugs or missing features. If you found a (device specific) bug, explain how to reproduce it and attach logs (logcat and dmesg). If you don't know how to get those, you can use this app. Please, do not report bugs if you use any kind of mods (xposed, supersu, third party kernel).

Will this thread be folded into your CM 14.0 thread as a current ROM update for the V500 or do you intend to have them continue as separate threads altogether? Just curious. And thank you very much for your continued development for our little tablets!

Flashed over CM14.0 and it's working great so far. Only the free space measurement is a bit off :silly:
Yeah, got the same Problem.

Also, battery gets charged super slow. Even with the charger pluged in, it can't keep or increase the charge while display active. Like an earlier build of the previous cm14 for this device.
Had one unexpected reboot while moving apps on the homescreen.

But overall it is damn smooth already. Thanks for keeping this device alive!

I could not download the rom from within the tablet: The file host page was loaded, but the file transfer didn't start. I tested with many mirrors and browsers, same result. I am having to download it under windows and then I1ll copy it to the device. I will do a clean install, as it is always recommended when changing OS version.
Thank you very much Fefifofum!

First of thanks to fefifofum for the amazing CM13 and continuing effort to give us the latest&greatest CM roms. :)
Now that this rom will become the main focus for v500, I'd appreciate some opinions whether it already feel pretty polished?
I've tried the 3rd build of 14.0 and it was still too early for daily use. Changelogs of new builds usually don't reveal much, but I'm keen to switch to 14.1 when it feels solid enough. Which features missing/broken in initial 14.0 builds have been fixed by now? Is the rom stable enough to make it a daily driver?

All fine here. I feel the system format was the best tip provided by fefifofum. Everything, including email, is smooth. Great job again by our combo team of Deltandroid and fefifofum!
