[ROM][CM11][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 11 - LS990

Hi all. I have managed to piece together a build of CM11 that has working radio, bluetooth, sd card, gps, etc.

Here it is. FYI, I am not really a developer, This is my first attempt to build a project. In order to get it working I had to use the proprietary blobs from CM12 - the muppets - and make a couple of changes to the cm11 source code. The rest is straight from the cm11 repo's. I will post what I did at a later time so hopefully we can get these changes into cm11 so it builds properly.

CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 5.0 (Lollipop), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.<br />

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 out Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.


Yup. It's finally here. CM11 with basically everything* working.

*Working:
Pretty much everything:
WiFi
2G/3G/LTE
Camera (back and front-facing and LED flash,) camcorder works in 1080p, no 4k yet
Sound (little bit quiet)
Screen (duh)
Proximity, Accelerometer, Gyroscope
GPS (can drain battery really fast)
Bluetooth
SDCard read/write

*Not working:
Wireless Charging (it works but it's very, very slow)
NFC - (Might be a battery killer in current state, uninstall or freeze it in TiBu) <--Working on a fix

Installation Instructions:
*NOTE*: You must be Bump'd for this to work. This requires flashing via custom recovery
1. Download this and GApps (recommended PA GApps. For android 4.44. You can find on xda
2. Put both on Internal Storage or external storage
3. Reboot into recovery
4. BACKUP CURRENT ROM
5. Factory Reset/Wipe
6. Flash CM11 (I wiped all but interal and external)
7. Flash GApps
8. Reboot
9. ???<
10. Profit

Downloads

Repositories are stock cyanogenmod with proprietary blobs from TheMuppets CM12 branch. A couple of edits to the ls990 device for cm11 - I will add later.
@invisiblek was pretty awesome in getting this going, much more credit goes to him than me, he really had the base for this, and now I just fix crap for the ls990.
@Berzerker7 @jholtom, shoutout because I stole your thread body.

Yes yes yes my friend. Welcome aboard. I'm chilling with family at great wolf creek lodge & I'm a gonna flash just cause it is kk. And thank you sir for bringing it to us. Kudos

Edit - Up & running. Running really good I might add. Still in the process of setting it up? Great work. Thanks again

No one is experiencing random app closes ? I open apps and they randomly restart or just close with out any notice of force closes. For example instagram will randomly send its self to the top of the feed when scrolling. Any solutions to this issue?

"Everything is fine but screen is still off when I finish talking. I need to push power button and screen on and then end the call."

This is an issue with just about every AOSP rom available at the moment. Probably gonna have to wait until someone manages to find a fix for the proximity sensor (someone submitted a fix and from what I read it still didn't fix it, yet). Once that's done it will likely be a simple addition to this rom. Sit tight. Once the holidays and their associated hangovers pass I am sure some more fixes will come down the pipeline.

but thanks for the build.... pretty solid otherwise so far

sms

When I used this rom I used the textra sms program and was able to get all texts working, mutlimedia, etc. Unfortunately, my ls990 gets blue screen of death on any of the cm11 or aosp based roms currently, which is a known issue that only affects what seems to be a small numbers of users that have what seems to be slightly different hardware boards.

I will do an updated build once this issue gets sorted out. Everything else seemed to work pretty well on this rom once you have textra installed. Advantage over cm12 is xposed modules work fine. Also I didn't have any network issues that I seemed to get while streaming with some of the aosp roms.

well i've been using this since the 5th of February (so almost 3 weeks now) and while i've tried some other roms.... i kept coming back to this one. like you said textra replaces the standard sms app just fine..... and i've had great battery life as well as no crashes whatsoever on this rom. so, thanks again for this one.

actually i did finally get one kernel panic the other day.... just while the phone was sitting idle.

edit-

i'm on the cm12 builds now... i'd go back to this if there was an update to fix sms though (current cm12 builds it does work on) but i crash a lot more on cm12 than this build ever did

any chance for an update to this one?

just went back to it from an old backup due to cm12 just being too unstable....

this build would be almost perfect for me if the default texting app worked

battery life seems much better on this cm11 build vs. the newest cm12 alphas

thanks

I am waiting on a new build for cm11 until we get bluetooth issues ironed out. I don't think there have been a whole lot of changes to cm11 since my old build. The changes that we need to make this more stable are the bluetooth proprietary firmware / drivers it seems that the devs have yet to figure out.

Once we get this working fully I will do a new build of cm11.
