[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][4.4][CM11] CyanogenMod 11 Nightlies for Galaxy S4

[HazAnwar]

Hi guys,

These are my UNOFFICIAL CyanogenMod ROMs, I build straight from the official sources and try to change as little as possible to leave it as much like the proper CM as possible. There are official ROMs and you can find the official thread here. The instructions below still apply for the official ROMs though, so check down for installation instructions. The official nightlies available here.

Thanks!

Downloads:
- Google Apps
- ROMs

Instructions:
1) Root device (suggest using Chainfire's CF-Root)
2) Install a custom recovery (I suggest using official from the CWM site) - Use SGS4 Flasher to install it directly onto your phone (you need make sure you have root access). Also note that people are running into problems when running other recoveries so try use the ones stated above for your own sake!

Upgrading from Stock/other ROM?
3) Reboot into Recovery
4) Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5) Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
6) Install CyanogenMod
7) Install Google Apps
8) Reboot

Upgrading from a previous build?
3) Reboot into Recovery
4) Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache (optional but advised)
5) Install CyanogenMod
6) Reboot

If you need any help then feel free to ask

Enjoy!

This may not be very accurate, just based on what I thought when I used it and what people have reported back...

Not Working:
- Nothing is broken (?)

Working:
- Everything else (i.e. WiFi, NFC, Camera, Proximity Sensor, Audio, etc...)
- IR Blaster (only tested with Smart Remote with root access)
- ART seems to work fine but some Google processes crash, most apps work fine as well; the only one I found not to run on ART was WhatsApp and apparently they've said they're not going to support it till it's official/out of beta

Any ideas?

[deathnotice01]

for thermometer/barometer/altitude sensor install Ambient from Play Store so it can detect the sensors.

Is it set to sync in your local_manifest.xml? I had this when trying to sync for PA earlier, and when I checked it was something in there that I'd missed and it kept saying exactly the same thing...

I'm not saying thats your issue, but just go through all the stuff you've added and double check it

It's set up to sync .repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml? It was working fine earlier as that's how I managed to make the first build. Just not sure why it's not working now. I've tried "repo sync -f" and "repo sync -f -j8" and still no luck ... I'll keep looking

Just try moving the roomservice.xml and local_manifest.xml out of those folders (maybe to desktop) and then try again and see what happens, if it syncs ok, you know there is an issue with those files, so you know where to look...

That is what I would do anyway

Just did that before I read this and it seems to be syncing fine now.. What do you think could be the problem with the roomservice.xml?

Working:
LTE
NFC
GPS
Audio
Compass
Bluetooth
HW Acceleration
USB/WiFi Tethering
Proximity Sensor (When taking away from your ear it takes some time for the screen to turn back on)
WiFi (Some users have intermittent problems - hopefully they wont happen anymore Thanks to Vertigo)
Camera (Front facing in camera app looks a bit distored but works fine elsewhere e.g. Skype, Instagram, etc..)

Not Working:
IR Blaster
Thermometer
Hover Touchscreen

For all the not working features Cyanogen (Steve Kondik) himself is working for licences to bring them to CyanogenMod as they only work on the TouchWiz Framework at the moment so hopefully they'll come along with the official nightlies

Can anyone please verify that the headset is working with phone calls yet?

With every other version of this ROM, it hasn't been working for me.

 

[deathnotice01]

WTF THANKS!

New bugs fixed in this version:

- Screen Color Temperature Calibration (Other versions such as vic and vertigo's builds has a "hot" (greenish) tint on screen at low brightness on my device)


Not yet fixed:
In-call headset (wired) still not able to input sound

Download link broken??

Really? Never noticed before as I usually run on low brightness to save battery when indoors. But not complaining if my ROM fixed it.
