CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.4.4 (Kit Kat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.
*/
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.

Instructions:

First time flashing CyanogenMod 11.0 your device, or coming from another ROM?
Download the zip(s).
Optional: adb backup
Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.
Wipe data & cache partitions of your device (required when coming from stock!).
Flash CyanogenMod.
Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.
Issues?
Report them on github:
https://github.com/M1cha/android_device_xiaomi_aries/issues

What's important: if you use xposed - pls disable it and try it again because it can cause problems in some cases.
Also the issue must contain important information like your phone model(mi2(s)(c)), and the exact build version of the ROM.

GENERAL COMMENT AND REQUEST:
We ask all the regular contributors here to please answer the "xxx is broken" or "yyy force closes" statements without an attached logcat with something like "LOGCAT or it didn't happen"

Feel free to be creative but DO NOT respond with wipe cache/clear data or any other attempted solution before the reporting user has taken the trouble to actually try to help solve the problem (e.g. by attaching a logcat, detailed steps to reproduce etc.).

We need to force more discipline in how issues are reported which will help us all find and squash bugs that may exist.

Just clearing data etc. may in fact cause us to never find the bug that caused the issue and just makes for lazy users.


The CyanogenMod team would like to thank everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging & documenting! Enjoy!

Troubleshooting/ FAQs
  • I am reading FAQs, am I ok?
    • You're the best ;) , but I'm not sure how you'll fell after you've read these things...
  • How can I enable Developer/ Performances Settings?
    • Go to Settings>Info>Click several times on build
  • How can I enable 4 way reboot (Recovery, System, soft, Bootloader) ?
    • Enable developer options, then go to Settings>Developer and enable Advanced Reboot
  • Why there's no HDR on camera?
    • Cyanogenmod does not provide closed source software, like drivers for HDR, you need to install Miui camera, or another camera from playstore
  • Why is there no Play Store or <insert gapp here>?
    • Since there are 2 system partitions they're small, and kk needs about 800mb to have a rom + gapps. There are 2 things u can do: First: install this gapps package this. Second way: use the repartition script of XiaomiTool to extend them.
  • Why is performances profile resetted every boot?
    • You need to enable Settings>performances>CPU>Set on boot
  • Why the phone doesn't fly if I enable airplane mode?
    • It's a WIP (work in progress) feature, now it works only if you throw it at 11,2 km/s² toward the space. It looks like there's no fix for this (yet).*
  • How can I enable adb root?
    • Go to Settings>Developer>Root access> Apps and Adb
  • How can I hide apps from trebuchet (launcher)?
    • Click Menu>Protected Apps> Set a "password"> Hide them
  • How can I charge my phone?
    • It looks like the xiaomi charger isn't enough powerful to charge the phone with cm. Here's your fix: buy a small nuclear reactor (you can find a cheap one on amazon or ebay I think), place the phone between the uranium fuel rods, power the reactor on and let the phone charging for about an half hour. It will be charged and it won't discharge again anymore.*
  • (I'm running art, it's very good and i feel better running it) This app FC... What can i do?
    • Switch to dalvik
  • Today I updated the phone and it's in a bootloop now... :(
    • Nice to get know you're enjoying art, switch back to dalvik flashing this

[DEV] How to build
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_aries


Two Releases: Nightlies and Stable/Monthly
Nightlies and Monthlies are very different. YOU CAN NOT UPDATE FROM A NIGHTLY TO A MONTHLY WITHOUT A WIPE /DATA. Why? Simple, M releases uses a different branch and it's much older than the previous Nightly avaible, so this may cause bootloops.
So you can update from a Monthly to newer Nightly, but you cannot update from a Nightly to a Monthly. If you choose unstable branch (aka Nightlies) you shouldn't update via ota to Stable branch (aka Monthly), you need to wipe /data.

Hi, a question about TDB: I (stupidly) formatted /sdcard before flashing CM11 (to get rid of MIUI folders), and I lost write permission. To fix that, I enabled TDB and installed MIUI on system2 and booted. However, I will never boot into MIUI again, I'm only interested in CM. Is leaving TDB enabled affects performance in any way? And is there a different way to restore permissions other than flashing MIUI?

Sdcard format is not working well on cwm cuz of tdb. U have to flash a fastboot package and or flash a stock miui with miflash.
Tdb doesn't affect performances at all.

Tdb doesn't mess with sdcard at all so it probably is a cwm bug.
Another scenario in which this bug showed for me was this. Maybe this is useful to track the issue.
I installed CWM 6.0.5.0, and then WIUI (4.7.18) based on KK.
After formatting the sdcard from within WIUI, even without rebooting, at that point the internal sdcard couldn't be written any longer from within WIUI.

Great ROM!
So far everything has been running smooth. Performance is great, feels much speedier than Mokee OS. Battery seems to be going down a bit faster, but I've been setting everything up so that probably explains the battery drain.
Something that really annoys me though, is that music playback stutters whenever you touch something. Opening the app drawer, any app, upvoting a post on Reddit Sync, ... Everything makes the music stutter for a split second.

Video camera records video maximum 10 minutes. Could it be changed to unlimited?

And also sound quality is very poor in recorded videos. I looked through spectrums and it appears that they are cut above 8000Hz. Seems like on some stage signal is being sampled with 16000 Hz sample rate and, judging by some bubbling and other artefacts, it is made without prior antialiasing filtering. Output format acc 48000 Hz.
