This is still experimental.
Camera is not working yet
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
* R800i (Play) users need to flash MT25i (Neo L) 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).

Yhaaaa !!! You are awesome :3

Congratulations Mike, you did a great job, where I can help I will be testing ...
I would also like to say something, I have a Galaxy 5 and the most popular developer for he had space problems for kitkat, but he and the crew are androidarmv6 of parabens, the Galaxy 5 has only 160 mb of space for system and flows nicely ....

---

Thank you, and congratulations on the excellent work! :good: :victory:

to make system partition bigger same as neo l .. 400mb again flash lxp kernel to increase system partition even bigger 450mb ..
congrats guys finally has a kitkat build on play & neo .. credits to developers now whole 2011 devices on latest android ( not the android l ) :good:

i think we dont need MT25i (Neo L) ftf because we can unlock our partition by flashing .62 vendor or .79 once

If I'm not mistaken Neo L ftfs are fully compatible with the play. That means you can use the baseband from .587, which is the recommended one to use.

Amazing work!
Do wifi/camera etc seem like big obstacles still?
As for the comment about ART in the second post, is that ever going to be a possibility? It would be a great speed improvement for our old hardware.
On a side note, how the stability with only 8 MB of cache? Is it ever going to be possible to move the cache to the SD for example, or reduce the system size by moving a lot of system apps into data?
Thank you so much for having taken it this far! This is amazing in itself!

device will work normal with 8mb cash partition
but there are some apps in google play that they will link cache to sd card and u can use them if you want but as i said phone will work like normal with 8mb cache
about art i think it was working in other 2011 devices but im not sure
but it doesnt help you too much

ART in KitKat is still really experimental, you can turn it on, but the only big difference from Dalvik is that the first installation is slower (and also that lots of app aren't compatible).
If you really want to use ART pick a Nexus device and try the Dev preview of Android L, in this newer version you can see a difference (and it is still under development, really curious to try the official Android L this year).

thread is turning into a discussion thread.. though its Dev .. !!
and would have been better to post kernel once atleast WIFI works .. else its same as 4.4.2 and cm11 we tested some days back.

It's not the same. A lot of small bugs including front keys have been fixed.
I wanted to roll some builds so more people can test for both devices so I can have a base to start working on fixing the remaining bugs

Looks like the NEO L version is up, right? https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/LegacyXperia/phoenix/cm-11.0/nightlies/

Next time please read OP's posts
Anyways, thank you Mike for what you've done, this really should be on the xda news
About Wifi, I know it may sound ridiculous, but has anyone tried changing wifi.interface=eth0 to wifi.interface=wlan0 into build.prop and then adding persist.wifienabled=1? The persist option helped a lot back when ics beta was released
