Compiled with ArchiDroid optimizations & "Yellow Kernel"
https://github.com/JustArchi/android_build/commit/1125f60a15194e08fdf18feacefb47696647e05b
(-o3, gcc4.8, openjdk 1.7... lollipop's version)
Odexed, ext4 for now (a little hacking could accomodate for F2FS), not rooted. If flashed with a current TWRP recovery, TWRP will offer to root it (which works).
I removed the proprietary terminal from the build (with the intent of compiling one from source eventually. Until then, one can be downloaded from f-droid), prepared for USB camera support (rather than a 'camera stub'), & audio_policy.conf changes (USB headset,etc- which probably isn't supported in the audio_hw.c file... yet), and a few other experimental changes.
After the first boot, this has the fastest boot time I've seen of any ROM I've tested.

Thank you very much for all the work you are doing to make this piece of hardware working so good!!
Since this is odex it will be really fast... I hardly wait to flash it!!
It would be great to have a f2fs build too!!
Odex + F2FS = super smooth!!
Can't wait to try f2fs cm11 build!

Flashed this rom yesterday, so far so good. Complete wipe and flash. No gapps just side-loaded desired apps and running well. Feels like a current CM11 nightly
I am running this rom and i confirm that it works really well.
Great work!!
A F2FS version would be really the perfect rom.

Nevermind, I got it on my laptop.
Will you make a hummingbird (Nook HD) version?
Many thanks, Jon! Requesting F2FS version as well...
I'm having a problem charging. If I use a higher capacity charger, ( iPad) it shows a green charge light and not charging, even though it's at 18%. If I use a lower capacity charger from my phone, it shows a blinking orange and doesn't charge. I used the same twrp 2.8 I used before for Slim.
I've never seen this before.
Update, it looks OK on a third charger. Who knows?

I haven't tried ART on this device, but from my experience with other CPUs (tegra 3 and old Exynos) I think that Google started developing ART on Qualcomm Snapdragon (Nexus 4, 7 and 5). So, unless you have Snapdragon processor, I think that on Kit Kat is better to stay with Dalvik, especially if you have an odex Rom like this.
Only with Lollipop ART became mature to work quite well also with other architectures.

I'm using ART on my Nook HD without any problems. I run CM11 nightly fully installed to EMMC but with F-Droid and Amazon app stores and no Gapps (except Earth and an old version of Youtube which don't require Play Services). I switched to ART over the Christmas holiday. It takes a little while to rebuild the installed apps but it does work perfectly OK. I have experienced zero bugs with it and it does seem to make for a better experience.
@julian67
Are you running This build with Jon Lee's Yellow kernel or a CM nightly with the stock kernel. Art has always work for me with the CM stock kernel
Stock kernel, CM11 nightly (hummingbird on HD). I hope my experience and yours shows that ART working (or not) doesn't depend on system architecture/CPU. It is definitely worth switching runtime. If it doesn't work then it's probably just exposing deficiencies already present in omg_funroll-loops_optimilized-4-speed-ultraaar-stable-buttery-smoo......*crash* kernels and configs.
This is running great John.
Thank you, Jon.
I used all your roms.
All your roms are great.
This rom is really good, too.
But I'm sad that exFAT external memory doesn't work with this rom.
Please consider supporting exFAT external memory.

I'm running ART as well with the nightly from 1/5/15, the things I have tried have been working fine. Too bad BN got out of the tablet business, these are great little tablets.
Perhaps a bit of a rant here....
I'm sure the ART issue is a consequence of this build being odexed.
The exfat issue is a consequence of the archidroid optimizations (there is a patch for it which I failed to apply). All of my builds have been experimental in one way or another...
CM10.1.3 with the "Yellow Kernel" was perfectly long term stable (for me). I can't really speak for Slimkat because I didn't try it out that long, but Liquidsmooth and this CM11 are somewhat less than stable (for me). As another poster humorously pointed out, it's probably part to do with compiler "optimizations".
I'm quite glad that Hashcode came out with CM12, as it was mostly beyond my ability. I was tired and fed up with trying. So he saved me the effort....
This CM11 build may have some ffmpeg video codecs that the normal CM11 builds don't include (which would be one of the few advantages of using it).
Right now I'm working on compiling CandyKat (which is based on Slimrom). I'm learning as I go and the best I can hope for is that each subsequent build is an improvement over the last. Technically my true aim is long term stability. With that in mind, perhaps I should stick with CM10.1.3... or perhaps an AOSP build. I'm not content with leaving things well enough alone though. Behind the scenes I have more broken builds than builds that actually work.
Anyway.... /rant over.

You did really an extraordinary job on this device: you succeeded in bringing F2FS (which I consider a great improvement) and you compiled among the best Roms available here.
This CM11 is near perfect, since its target is to bring more optimization and more performance, and I consider Odex+Dalvik smoother than Deodex+ART (which on KitKat is still experimental).
Only thing I would add is a F2FS version.
For next project I suggest to try a vanilla AOSP ROM, maybe also in Odex and F2FS version, since usually more functions means also more ram and CPU needed.
CPU and GPU are quite OK on this device, but the real problem is RAM.
Also Roms based on Slim should be fast and efficient.
Of course doing experiments can also disappoint someone, but from my point of view you reached great goals with your work on this device.
The purpose is to give users more choice: this ROM offers a different compiling approach than standard CM11, and if someone is disappointed can run standard CM11.
But this ROM gives the option to other users to try something different.
So I think that majority of users here are supporting your work and anxiously are waiting what you will bring next to Ovation.
Keep up the good work!!

Introducing codefireXperiment for your device! This OP is going to stay slim and bloat free, just like codefireXperiment. No marketing buzzwords either. We take such confidence in the speed and performance of this distribution, we challenge you to find a faster and more stable one!
Warning: we only support anykernel methods of custom kernel installation.
Here's a bit of info you may want on this project for how we do things differently:
CLICK HERE to find out more about the new team working on this project since our TeamEOS merger.
No features you don't need which slow the device down, or put your data at risk of being stolen. If you want to give it away, it should be your decision.
A fast and clean install with no UX decisions made for you. You make the ROM whatever you would like.
A team constantly exploring totally new feature sets and optimizations geared toward you, the user
We utilize a plethora of optimizations in a build system unlike any other:
Each build has a toolchain built for your device at the time of build. No more generic toolchain android builds.
Consistently updated upstream toolchain module source with our custom backports, fixes, and optimizations applied in a patch at build time.
Fully built utilizing Link Time Optimization (another custom ROM first). Feel free to google this one a bit to get an idea of the performance gain.
Many repositories have code fixes, cleanups, and many minor optimizations which are too generous to even speak of here.
Optimizations are toggled on and off based on device for the best experience we can acheive for your device without sacrificing any stability
Many Qcom optimizations and AOSP master (upstream) optimizations and fixes using device specifications to determine usage.
Fully built utilizing strict aliasing and isognu++11 mode.
Full "-O3" build. To those who don't know, this is the highest "optimization level" available in gcc that sets many other flags.

Thanks to the CM team for all thier work on this family of devices, especiallly h8rift for his work on evita for all of us to enjoy.
Also thanks to my beta testers for experimenting with me.
DISCLAIMER: I will not be held responsible for any damages caused to your device by flashing this ROM. Your warranty is now void.
By proceeding you accept the risks involved with flashing ROMS. While I test everything on my own device, I cannot garauntee yours will not explode into kittens and rainbows.
KNOWN ISSUES:
ROOT ACCESS : On-going disscusion within the team but as of right now root is not available to userspace. Root currently works over adb only. Flash the superSU.zip and carry on if you need root access for apps like TiBu or root file explorers. Otherwise you really don't need it
BOOT ANIMATION : i'ts just full of struggle, it's an old animation made for smaller screens. It freezes and goes blank screen on first boot. Don't be alarmed, it'll be OK. New custom boot ani is being designed now by a fellow team member
BROWSER : Ocassional FC on embedded browser streaming video. You tube and links that open a video player are fine, just embedded video.
ROM is still under construction so i'm sure more will surface but this should be more than ready to be a daily driver.
mine too

Nice! I'll wait til a more stable version comes about, but I'm looking forward to trying her out. With your success on Vanilla Root I'm sure this will be great as well!
How's the Camera on the One XL in this ROM? That's the only thing that's really ever bugged me about AOSP ROMs on our device, is that the Camera isn't nearly as good as Sense Based ROMs (not devs fault, camera libraries in sense are much different than AOSP). Does it change orientation quickly?

Yeah, I'm sure I will. I've always wanted a Nexus device and I couldn't pass up the $199 price tag. I'm hoping I will be able to keep both devices but the wife will probably want me to sell my One X to pay for the N4.
I did take a look at the N4 section and it was a little out of control. I was always amazed how much development the DesireHD/Inspire had and the N4 was like 5 times that, lol. I think they have more kernels than we have ROMs, lol.

Right now there is not. I played the same trick AOKP does do get recent on long press home. AFAIK aokp still doesn't have remapping either.
It could possibly be added later but I'd have to discuss with the rest of the team. They are far more concerned with getting the rest of their supported devices back up on 4.3 than anything else right now.

Not yet, last I talked with synergy he was adding us to the nightly build list after I merged our device trees in, but it must not be done yet. Op will be updated as soon as I know something certain. If there's a hold up I'll post newer builds on my own until he catches up.

Some "features" will come but the team concentration right now is getting all supported devices caught up to 4.3, and debugging major issues. I didn't have any issues with any root apps but I don't use adaway.

The problem with an upgrade to any newer OS on the Charge is the radios. I don't see KitKat and an exception.:crying::crying:
Interesting how they had it where you could use Hangouts as your default SMS App with all the Emoji smileys on phones with Gingerbread including the Charge on the leaked version from the Nexus 5. It was fully working and I tried it. However, now that it's released to everybody through the Play Store, the SMS option is for Android 4.0 Only.
just got kitkat on my razr.... wish I knew how to port, b/c then I would attempt to port this great ROM over to the old Charge....
I'm interested in doing a CM11 build for the Charge or atleast a CM 10.2 build. I have a Galaxy S4 now but I would love to get some use out of the charge. I just want to turn it into a kickass media player since the RIL situation is never going to get solved. If anyone knows what is involved to make this happen it would help me greatly. I've never built CM before. I've read the CM developer wiki. A lot is over my head. I am trying to learn though

I think you're on the right track, though I think I'd stick with CM11 rather than CM10.2.
Well I am really interested in learning how to build. So I think I will run a few builds for the Fascinate and then see what I can do for the Charge. My programming experience is intermediate. I feel confident I can learn the process and at least get a semi functional kitkat build up and running and then maybe others could help work out the bugs

good luck brother... i'd be glad to test for ya.
some tips that you may/may not already know:
my understanding is that OS 4+ require EXT4 rather than RFS, so it might help to start with a kernel that allows this conversion. there are a few floating around that work.
someone (JT) has successfully (and I guess relatively easily) ported ICS and JB to the charge, the key aspects not working though were mobile data and camera.
I'm told the key road block is the RIL for the kernel in order to get those aspects functioning properly.
as for me, I'd be happy with just a working camera, as the Charge is used by my son as a WiFi-only media player/gaming device. he likes to take pictures/videos, so this is the only thing preventing me from converting it the latest JB port.
again, good luck, and let us know how the progress goes!
Well I just started a new job and am settling into that so time will be scarce for a bit. I wouldn't even know how to start with the RIL. I would definitely want to get the camera working provided I can even successfully build CM11. I want to make it clear that I am new to this so it is a big undertaking for me and I have a lot to learn. Once I get a build enviroment set up I will see if I can make some fascinate builds for practice since it is very similar to the charge. Then i will reach out to sbrissen or jt1134 and see if they can give me any pointers. I forked their code on github already.

As a previous owner of a droid charge, I honestly hope I can squeeze some use out of it as a media device.
as the title
Are you asking if it will get an official version or unofficial version?
Official version is out of the question, gingerbread was the last official OS for the infuse. Unofficially is different, I'm going to say it likely will, but I'm not a dev so I can't say for sure.
Unofficially ART can be used as a runtime already in many roms already (carbon, beanstalk, CM that I know of for certain), and from my imperfect understanding Lollipop is basically the ART runtime. Having used ART for about a week I will say it's less stable than dalvik but as I'm using a beta form of a run-time on an unofficial ROM for a 3 year old phone I'm not really complaining (and hopefully L will fix some issues with applications, currently the biggest issue with ART for me is that certain apps just flat-out don't support it, but that's really on the devs for the apps than roms or anything).
Infuse can run lollipop as long as system sizes permit the growth it needs. ART is a space hog for data, and any app you install now, expect it to take up twice the room it does under Dalvik.
I don't see any restrictions as far as commits go, and even though we're running an older kernel there shouldn't be much patching needed.
Entropy would know more about kernel level changes than myself...
Any updates?
Hi Guys,
I have been running on CyanFox for about a year and it has always been quite slow and sometimes it will make the clicking noise that you have pressed various icons etc after it has decided to do whatever you have asked it to do (if you know what I mean?).
My daughter has been using it, but now she has her own tablet - I am thinking of starting again with it and want to know if this is normal for the CyanFox ROM or in the past year there has been a ROM that gives better perfomance?
Thanks in advance

Ah yes, they don't maintain a ROM thread here on XDA. That's why the name did not ring a bell.
With "clicking noise" you mean the sound it makes a second after you touched a button? This tablet is notorious for lag and it sometimes takes a little while before the toch input is executed. Yes, that's normal. It's just supposed to happen simultaneously with touch input.
Well, I am partial to ZOMBi-X, but OMNI, CM11 are very god also.
Personally I feel this tablet is at it's best if you run it with data2sd. CROMi-X, CROMBi-KK and ZOMBi-X support it.
I am currently running a pre-release version of an OMNI Lollipop port (same devs as ZOMBi) that should come out soon. And with data2sd on a fast microSD (best I own for this is a Samsung Evo class 10 SDHC) it runs very, very well!

Why wait? Give ZOMBi-X a whirl, follow that thread, they will annunce the release of the L version there.
The release version will be much better than what I am running now I am sure. But it is very stable already, just not as refinded as I expect it to get.
Lag is:
severe - installed with /data on internal
moderate - installed with data2sd and ext4 file system
amost non-existing - installed with data2sd and f2fs file system
Right now, on a fresh install, it's almost as responsive as my TF701.
Very promising.
I have been a flashaholic for some time, probably the Eclair days, but I really question if it's worth it now days.
Most Lollipop and newer ROMs, except for Nexus devices, seem to have some kind of issues... If not immediately, then over time. While at the same time factory ROMs get better, partially because the base code is better and because many manufacturers are getting better at it.
And now, some features are being blocked just by unlocking of bootloader, even if you're otherwise stock, like Android Pay and others like Pok�©mon Go.
I find all I really do now on custom roms is some interface tweaks... Change the battery icon, add a clear all button to recents, and add arrows to the navigation bar, all minor stuff. Otherwise things like Nova Launcher, SwiftKey, and GSAM largely don't even require root anymore much less a custom ROM. Part of it used to be for battery life, but now, at least on modern Moto devices, most custom roms struggle just to match the battery life of stock.
I've tried every rom for this device I can find, here and other places, and they all seem to have a variety of things that fail, from minor annoyances to major services broken like GPS, or they fail over time.
My question for discussion is it still worth it, and why do you ROM or even root anymore?
I used to run a variety CM ROM's on Samsung Galaxy & Note devices. Starting with the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and then every decent device Samsung released until the bootloaders stopped getting cracked.
There was always something that just didn't work right and I'd have random crashes.
But for me it was semi-worth it. I like to tinker and customize a lot.
Fast forward to the last thirteen months with my first non-Samsung since. A Motorola Moto X Pure.
Best damn phone I've ever had.
And there is CM available, but I quickly discovered AOSP ROM's like Dirty Unicorn and Broken OS.
Both these ROM's are FULL of customization not found in Xposed modules, and both ROM's have been 100% reliable.
I may have had one lockup in the last 13 months. And everything from GPS to Bluetooth, etc. have all worked perfectly.
So for me, yes... custom ROM's are more than worth it once you find the right ROM. My phone is heavily customized to my needs and super reliable.
The only thing lacking with MotoX was kernel development. Which I guess is where you start losing some reliability.
But it's also where I'm hoping the Pixel will get some good development and I'm looking forward to it. :good:
Non-rooted stock MM has been going great for me lately. Lots of great built in features like Moto actions, etc. I play Pokemon while walking on my breaks at work, and the last few updates forced my hand to go back to stock. I was (am) also a flashoholic, and it was mainly to have custom features and better performance on outdated and mfg abandoned phones. It was also a must for my Kindle Fire. I really don't see myself going away from stock MM (soon to be Nougat) on my MXPE at this point. I still flash ROMs on my G2 and Note 3 though, but barely use them outside the house.

Hmm... I have been on that "rom that shan't be named on XDA" for a while now. After a month started suffering SoD randomly and Play Services has stopped issues. DU 10.6 couldn't maintain GPS lock, but 10.5 was fine, seemed to effect only a handful of devices, lucky me.
Anyway, thanks for your input.

I also have been a avid user of the "rom that shan't be named on XDA" for many months now with no real issues. By chance have you tried a fresh install again. The latest release was back in late August a 4.9.1 version that made corrections to some issues on the 4.9 release.

Not yet... I have been on 4.9.1 already, and have been working with the devs a bit on it but seems mostly isolated to my device.

If anything try a fresh install and see if your issues were only from maybe a bad original install. If they show up again then I would say they are isolated to your device.

I'm out of town for the weekend, in a rather rural area, so maybe will try tomorrow evening.
LMT pie, adaway, naptime, and general tweaking are the only reasons I root on a phone this close to stock android.
I didn't run custom ROMs on this phone until about August of this year. That was when battery life on aicp started to get comparable with stock for me. I can get most of the features I want from gravitybox, but I prefer them baked into the ROM. Xposed always seems a little problematic even when you don't install janky modules. I really like the notification led; missed that when I got this phone. I know we're supposed to use moto display, but I think that makes more sense on amoled than a great big LCD. Never had good luck with lightflow or the led enabler apps, but the custom roms work great. I really like slim recents too. I haven't found any modules that work to put KitKat like recents on M ROMs.
TruPureXMM + GravityBox
Loved my MXP so much I bought one for my mom who was hating her iPhone5. Kept it stock (for obvious reasons), so I have a good baseline to compare to my MXP running TruPureXMM + GravityBox. I've tried a bunch of ROMS for this phone but I always come back to TruPureXMM + GravityBox. Oh, and Tasker.
There is no way in hell I would go back to stock.
I used Cyanogenmod on my HTC Incredible and Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Didn't root or ROM for a while due to using the stock ROM on the 2nd generation Verizon Moto X 2014 and stock Android on the Nexus 5X and 6P. But, I had the itch to unlock the bootloader on my Moto X Pure, due to curiousity, and because it's likely that we will only see one more Nougat update. I tried CM13, but I was getting UI freeze ups and slowdowns on multiple builds, so I tried Dirty Unicorns 10.6, and that has been working fine. I may return to the stock ROM after the Nougat update, but in the meantime, I'm happy experimenting with different ROMs on the Pure.
I'd be cool with stock- as long as I could debloat it.
And it was updated fairly quickly.
Stock for this phone is great. Better than most. Only issue really is Moto is so far behind on security updates. They are on what, May I believe? CM13 is Oct.

Stock here, never a issue. With Nougat in the horizon, a custom ROM is a big NO for me.

I would say TruPureX with a few mods is a very solid and stable way to go. I myself am on TurboROM which has ceased current development, but have ZERO issues. AICP's MM build is the most feature filled and works flawlessly aside from one issue I don't have on other ROMs, where my bank app only shows black when using the camera to deposit checks, making AICP unusable for me, but highly recommended for others to try as that's the absolute only issue I could find after a week full of testing (Kind of what I do as a hobby is push ROMs to their limits to find the issues.)
So in short: TruPureXMM, TurboROM, AICP - are all great choices without the negatives associated with many custom ROMs.
Pretty sure we are all here to push the ROMs to he limits lol?

Speaking of custom ROMs, I just searched android file host for Clark and there are new 7.0 builds of zephyros, pure nexus, aosp, and cos.
I'm in a limited data area so I haven't downloaded or tried them out yet.

Running the latest Zephyr after trying AICP and CM14. Uses substratum and SuperSU. Camera recording isn't working with snapdragon camera (FC), google camera (records but doesn't save). Had an android.phone FC but replaced with google phone/contacts and no problems so far. Still need to test speakerphone and bluetooth, but assuming those work as well as 6.0.1 I'm pretty impressed by Birdman.
Any roms that anyone can recommend? CM13 and OrionOS both have very bad stuttering after some time of use. Has anyone tried Pure Nexus or Slim6? Just need a good daily driver that can handle games without heating up so hot, and handle most social apps great...

Seriously? We've got like one and a half here.
