[ROM][KK][4.4][SABERMOD] CyanogenMod 11 [ALPHA BUILDS] Ported for i777

[RenderBroken]

This is ported from @infected_ and his amazing work! I have been personally porting his roms for my i777 for awhile and have been blown away with how much of a difference SaberMod and Linaro have made to the ROM. I have ported this rom with permission to share some 4.4 goodness with the rest of my fellow i777 users. I may keep porting future releases but have not decided yet.

First and foremost, I nor @infected_ are responsible for what you do to your device and YOU accept full responsibility if there are ANY issues.
IF there are any issues please don't blow up @infected_ 's threads looking for support because you will find none. Please just do some research first before posting an issue. Since this is an Alpha build, someone may have already posted a fix for an issue your having in one of the i9100 threads.

I have personally tested this rom out and everything seems to been in working order. I may have missed something though so please don't quote me. The one thing I have noticed is the Battery Percentage is not correct.

Rom: Build 11/23/2013
GApps: 20130813

Older Builds:
Build 11/20/2013

Instructions:
First make a nandroid backup (DUH)
Make sure you are on the newest CWM recovery. These easiest way i do this is flash the newest CM Nightly
Once you flash the newest CM Nightly, reboot recovery
Wipe Data/ Factory Reset
Wipe Cache/ Dalvic Cache
Format System
Flash ROM
Flash GApps
WIPE DATA/ FACTORY RESET (If you don't you will get stuck on CM Logo)
Enjoy

I know there was a flashable zip in Wayland's original CM11 for i9100 thread. I am looing at building nightlies for the i777 and believe the source has already been fixed. In the meantime I will keep porting @infected_ 's builds and will see if its fixed in his newest build and if it persists when porting it over. It may also be a device issue.

I was able to flash this rom pretty easily. That's all I can really say for it though.

I flashed twice (followed the OP steps) and both times, none of the sounds work. I'll try it out another time when the sound is back. I'm excited this is finally becoming more of a reality for this device now though.

Thanks for your hard work!

PS- I did make a phone call while on it, and it worked fine.

got this to boot! phone is dead, so can't do too much testing but just wondering how to get the google launcher?

Thats weird, I was able to use my bluetooth and heard sounds but they were kinda low. If there is an update I will port it today.

Interesting. Do you have sounds for the ringer, notifications, and alarm clock?

I have already flashed back to my daily driver. I have also ported @infected_ 's 10.1.3v2 Sabermod/Linaro rom. I work two jobs and am pretty busy but I am setting up my build environment for CM11. I have bookmarked all of Wayland's fixed for different bugs and if they arent merged with the main source I will merge them in my own. The main thing I am working out now is setting up the proprietary blobs for the i777 and integrating them in the CM11 source to build with. The problem is there isn't a repo already setup for CM11 so I will have to create it. Entropy has done most of the work for it for OmniRom and I will most likely be using most of his i777 source. This part is new to me so I am learning this on the way. Once everything is setup and I am able to build functional builds I will try to then use the Sabermod tool-chain along with Linaro for the kernel. @infected_ has inspired me to mimic what he is doing for the i9100 and I have seen how big a difference it has made for my phone. I will post the CM10.1.3v2 port today as well. As I said I use this as my daily driver and everything works on it. Including GPS!

Kind Regards,
Render

flying colors

great port after a full day of testing the rom ran great no problems other than the batter bug runs better than 4.3.1 ever did on my i777
phone works
camera works both the pics and rec
games i've tested works (gba emu, and plants v zombies 2) both would freeze or FC on my 4.3
sorry but i have to say this launcher is better though http://goo.gl/19HBuF
and not a single random FC yet
