Hi guys!

Installation instruction

If you're coming from stock ROM or want to have clean install:
1. Boot to recovery (i recommend to use TWRP)
2. Format /system, /data, /cache and dalvik cache
3. Flash ROM and then flash gapps (but remember - you have to install gapps before first boot of the system - otherwise they won't work properly!)
4. Reboot to system and voilà - you have installed CM14.1 and gapps

If you're coming from CM13 and want to keep your installed apps and settings:
1. Boot to recovery (i recommend to use TWRP)
2. Format /system, /cache and dalvik cache
3. Flash ROM and then flash gapps (but remember - you have to install gapps before first boot of the system - otherwise they won't work properly!)
4. Reboot to system and voilà - you have installed CM14.1 and gapps

As I'm writing this, I found only two bugs

- When in charge battery percentage (in the circle) only shows up on lockscreen
- The signal icon has an X instead of nothing, when 3g or 4g is disable

Nice work..

For the second bug, the x is a normal Android N feature, it's a way of showing you that you have LTE disabled. The only moment when there's nothing (not a x or a lte) is when you have LTE enabled but you are connected to an internet-giving WiFi network, meaning that the LTE will reconnect as soon as you loose WiFi-internet connection or WiFi signal.

OMG [emoji44] the great day is finally arrived! I can't wait to flash it and give my opinions. For now @sombree I suggest you to redesign the thread's homepage, because in my opinion CM14.1 needs more attention.

Exciting!

For who installed it: How is battery life? Does it have fast unlock?

 

[friscoboi]

BPK4 available.

Are all CM Features ported yet (AudioFX, Screenrecording, Theme Engine etz.)?
