CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.4 (KitKat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

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. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. 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. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

What are Nightly builds? Auto compiled builds of the latest CyanogenMod source from github. This version change each night and aren't officialy supported. If you find bugs/issues you can/must discuss here (do not submit nightlies bug on CyanogenMod issue tracker).

All bug reports that don't meet this conditions will be ignored:
  • You have the kernel provided in the zip file
  • You made a clean flash and didn't restore anything
  • You made a detailed review of the problem
  • You provide a logcat in a .txt file (Search internet)
  • You provide dmesg or last_kmsg if it is a kernel panic (Search internet)

What's working :
  • Booting
  • RIL and Mobile Data
  • Dual-Sim
  • Storages (Internal and External)
  • Notification Led
  • Flashlight
  • Sound
  • Wi-Fi
  • Bluetooth
  • GPS
  • Tethering (BT, Wi-Fi, USB)
  • Sensors
  • Video playback
  • Camera
  • Browser

What's not working :
  • NFC (causes instability)
  • Fm Radio
  • Cpu Governors SmartassV2 and H3 causing instability
  • Other stuff that is not here
  • I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING CM CAMERA (it can stuck and you need to restart); USE OpenCamera INSTEAD!!!
  • Care with volume. Lower until no cracking sound is present

Instructions :
  • Reboot to the latest TWRP/CWM/Philz
  • Make a full wipe (/system, /data, /cache, /dalvik-cache, /internal storage)
  • Flash the CM11 zip
  • Flash the four_button.zip (if you have dual)
  • Make factory reset
  • Reboot to system
  • Flash Gapps (if you want) => you need to test which work. Flash pico please or you will have crashes. You need to test this. FLASH ONLY AFTER FIRST BOOT
    You can also flash Gapps before booting (after CM11) but if you know how to skip initialization screen (the clockwise press trick). If you don't know what I am talking about, don't ask use the flash after first boot method.

You will not have a setup wizard because I am using INIT to set device model. Please use settings to set up your stuff.

Thank you for this final effort. And thank you for the TWRP 2.8.6.0(doesn't flip the screen on reboot anymore).
I'll be sure to try your CM11 rom once I'm out of university for the summer.

By the way, and it came to me just now, is it possible for you to include the following options?
- turn on/off the annoying "safe headset volume" message
- turn on/off camera shutter sound
- turn on/off heptic feedback(vibration on unlock/hold home key/input pin code when turning the device on)
- custom power off and restart option: reboot/reboot to recovery/reboot to boodloader

Those would be very comfortable for most of us, if not for everyone. Currently on the purified stock v2(KK 4.4.2) i have to use:
- GravityBox(Xposed) for headset volume message and custom restart options
- Open Camera(from play store) because it has an option to mute shutter sound
- Spare Parts to remove heptic feedback(although you can uninstall the app and still have heptic feedback disabled)

My whole point is to have the above mentioned options native to the ROM itself without using third party apps/frameworks.

Haptic feedback in stock KitKat need to edit build.prop, in CyanogenMod you can enable and disable in sound settings and lock screen settings. Advanced restart mode in developer options (I think only CyanogenMod, not sure stock roms)

Well just some updates. Found time to work today. Camera got fully fixed (Resume now works). I adverted GPS working. Well trying to get a signal it could not lock. That is also fixed now. I just switched to Classic Web View since exams are comming and I see no problems. We can count browser also fixed. Maybe tomorrow is a good day to release an RC already. Will test until then. Peace out.

What exactly are nightly builds? I searched a lot but still not sure how that will work with this rom. Sorry if I'm too dumb and thanks in advance!

Edit: And another question, no battery drain at the moment? (Is not listed in known issues so I guess is fixed or never wasn't there)
