This is an unofficial build of CM11.0.
This is an attempt to stay close to official cm11.0 and not make crazy hacks to make things working.
This is a pure CM build, only contains official CM features. I will not add any other external feature/app/etc.
For an up-to date working/not working list, bug tracker, useful guides & FAQ, visit our website:
http://legacyxperia.github.io
WARNING: This ROM uses a modified internal memory layout.
Our /system partition is originally 400MB but this space is not enough for a fluid kitkat experience and a full installation with proper google apps.
Our /cache partition is also too small to fit art-cache when we enable the ART runtime. We originally had 100MB /cache but art-cache needs ~150mb of free space.
I have repartitioned the internal memory layout, giving:
450mb in /system
469,5mb in /data
8mb in /cache
If you want to use this ROM you will always have to use the included kernel or use a kernel that includes the layour changes. Bug reports with non-standard kernels will be ignored.
You will have to wipe the device and make a clean install.
You cannot restore nandroid backups from previous android versions or restore nandroid backups from this ROM to other ROMs that don't use the new partition layout since you risk corrupting the data.
I suggest to use Titanium Backup, Helium or any other similar app to backup your data if you really need to.
Requirements:
* Have the stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587 full ftf flashed (doesn't matter if you have flashed it in the past or if you flash it before installing cm11.0, it will work both ways)
* LT15i (Arc) users need to flash LT18i (Arc S) ftf
* MT15i (Neo) users need to flash MT11i (Neo V) ftf
Steps required for correct installation (order is important):
1: Flash boot.img in fastboot & reboot into recovery
1.1 (optional): If the device is not booting, reboot to bootloader again and run:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
2: Enter recovery, go to mounts and storage
3: Format /system, then /data and then /cache (Important step!)
4: Flash update zip
5: Flash gapps (recommended package is the one provided in the link below)
Steps 1.1, 2 & 3 are not needed when you install new cm11 nightlies on top of older cm11 builds in the future
If you want to return to a ROM that doesn't use the new partition layout, you need to follow the above steps again (only replace boot.img & update zip with the ones you want to use).

I think we don't need to care about how many RAM did the system use, but the apps.
So ART is the most thing that interest me.

---

When i select ART my Ray got bootloop. why is it? XD

---

Changelog says wireless and hotspot are buggy. Any first hand experiences?

@mikeioannina I may be wrong but to fix the screen-off animation glitches try adding these lines to build.prop
ro.hwui.disable_scissor_opt=true
ro.zygote.disable_gl_preload=true

even without ART the RAM usage should be lower.

because it's an experimental feature on an unstable rom,
just use dalvik for the time being.

My notes after playing with it for a while...
For a first alpha, it is very good; much better than the first 10.2 or 10.1.
It feels a bit faster, even after all apps are installed; side by side with a 10.2, the difference is small but on average apps open/close faster.
Ram: about 30-50MB more is shown as free. A similar effect can be had by installing KK gapps on 10.2. The homescreen reloads less often than 10.2.
Max memory available to an app is ±the same, 220MB.
Didn't try Art as noone has it working.
I'll wait a while until I put it on my daily driver. Give some time to cyanogenmod, to Mike, and last but not least, to app developers.
(I'd probably do it right now, if I didn't have the luxury of a test Ray. I love the smell of brand new roms
Some issues on top of the known 10.2 issues that I encountered:
- a couple of random battery killers (so far, I had two wakelocks, and cLock kept the GPS turned on while the device was off)
- Android browser (and any app that uses it, like my newsreader) is very very slow. Opera too. Chrome runs like on 10.2
- a couple of glitches here and there, stuff like:
..- "reboot to recovery" hangs, and the home button workaround no longer works
..- unlocking and turning off the screen causes Bluetooth music stutters.
..- sth spams the logcat with "D/AudioTrack( 241): latency() mLatency = 490, newLatency = 490"
- the google launcher is a bit too simple compared to Trebuchet
Again, for a first alpha, those are nice problems to have. I have high hopes for the future of this rom.
Yeah, and we're all really really lucky that we have a dev like Mike. He does a L.O.T. of work for us; and he works in an organized and professional manner, otherwise he couldn't keep all these releases under control. I think the rollout of your KitKat roms went really smooth. Hats off to you, Sir.

i really like this rom and kitkat. it is vry advanced for a first time build. stable too
but the battery is a problem. i went to sleep at 12, at that time battery was 98%. and woke up at 9, at that time 44%. (brightness-minimum, wifi-off, evrythng off) but in battery stats, it shows it was always awake.

---

really impressive. stable. one thing i cannot find is the options where we can change the appearance of status bar with batter percentage. clock AM/PM etc. its not available. Wifi works for me without any issue. have reboot phone many times and every time wifi connected as soon as boot up. system partition got almost full . but i have remove unwanted stuff and freed now have 90mb + battery is ok without any unusual drain. but i haven't fully charged it till 100.
attached some pics for reference

I suspect that the charging stops at 100%
Two nights in a row, leaving the phone on the charger and the next morning battery is less than 100% and not charging

If you look into kmsg, you'll see that charging cycles between 95% and 100% when the charger is connected long enough. I guess it's better for the battery.

1. CM hasn't implemented that yet
2. settings > date&time > 24h format
3. Wifi is ok but not fixed, like the latest 10.2 builds. It still restarts in the background, and occasionally the connection drops
4. why do you want free space in /system ? It's wasted because nothing writes to /system - or am I wrong here?

I flashed this ROM only to try the flavour of kit-kat because I always use ICS based ROMs as daily ROM which always includes some great Walkman and Cybershot mods.
But I really feel that its a good time to change to this KK CM11 ROM.
This ROM is just awesome with the 1st build itself.
Thanks for this great development... bro
I will use this as my daily ROM because this ROM is full of potential.

---

Can i have a screenshot from the homescreen ?
thanks

That is the standard behavior (but the user will not see this as the charging indicator stays on).
On my phone the charging stopped completely. After disconnecting and re-connecting this morning, battery was at 92%
I'll investigate this further though and provide an update

Really like the rom, awesome the Ray may experience android 4.4.
Some thoughts:
The phone feels more responsive/faster than the last 4.3.1 build, even with all apps reinstalled.
Some bugs:
- When pressing the settings button while in app drawer 'wallpapers' 'widgets' and 'settings' can't be pressed (theyre behind the apps)
- Reboot doesn't work (hangs)
- ADB screen recording not working (also tried with custom resolution but to no avail)
- Settings are missing, i.e.: Buttons, Home screen and more.
- Browser very slow
- Wrong resolution when entering pin
- Echo when calling (repeating my words)

Chrome works a lot better than the stock browser on CM11, scrolling freezes are almost completely gone.
