Introduction
I started this project as a one-time test. But something was still bothering me - the latest version of CM for locked bootloaders was outdated
, so I released my test build to public. It received so much appreciation so I thought to release this periodically - and weeklies, released in the Friday-Saturday-Sunday period are the best I can give to the community. So, now just enjoy CyanogenMod for locked bootloaders!

Changelog
Build #12.5
- added intellimm, a new governor by faux123
It's so new that it's not on any govenor mega list, so here's some info about it:
intelliminmax (intellimm) governor is designed to work with the newer SOCs with fixed voltage rails (ie MSM8974+ SOCs). It is designed to work within thosefixed voltage ranges in order to maximize battery performance while creating a smooth UI operations.
So that's the theory, in practise it's only using three frequencies most often. It look like a stupid idea at a first glance, but the governor gave me another hour of screen on time(previously I was getting 4 hours, now I'm getting 5 hours with minimal perfomance impact)
Some more info here:
https://plus.google.com/+PaulReioux/posts/DkCKEWRJFnf
- added msm_cpufreq_limiter, so now the frequency of the second core is following the user's choice (previously the second core's max frequency was stuck on 1728Mhz)
- added TCP congestion algorithms:
* bic
* westwood
* highspeed
* hybla
* htcp
* vegas
* veno
* scalable
* lp
* yeah
* illinois
Some results with different ones:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28152737&postcount=2
(scroll down and skip all the tweakable values of other things)
- previous lagfix integrated
Build #12.1
- lags fixed
- discard option removed from fstab
Build #12
- fixed glove mode reverting after some time
- added another batch of governors, this time they are more "modern", and imo they are one of the best in its kind:
*smartassV2
*intellidemand2
*intelliactive
(thanks DooMLoRD and pec0ra)
*abyssplug
*adaptive
*badass
- added ROW I/O scheduler(thanks pec0ra)
- now ROM boots with noop, and after booting the default is row
- now ROM boots with performance governor set on boot, and then it gets back to interactive - the good old CM default
- merged improvements from the official trees
- added ZRAM driver, use any app, like Trickster Mod or Performance Control to set it up(thanks bagyusz for the idea and faux123 for the updated zram in Doomlord's kernel)
- CM source update(built off the stable branch)
- added frandom module(fast random number generator, works like Seeder - fyi - seeder and frandom don't give us such wonderful effects as on 2.3, but it at least decreases latencies, so it's an improvement )
- fixed mirroring sound thanks to @Steph310
- fixed SIM storage(SIM contacts, etc.)-proof:
- lowered the lowest brightness value from 10 to 1(seems like stock also uses that as the lowest one)
Older builds:
Build #11
- CM source update, check cmxlog for more info
- added some governors for you to choose and play , like:
* conservative
* lagfree
* lionheart
* powersave
* wheatley
- added some IO schedulers to go with the governors :
* sio
* vr
* bfq
* fifo
* fiops
* zen
Have fun finding the best combination for you!
The modules were compiled from their trees, so I have to at least mention them
Build #10
- CM source update
- SIM ICC number reading is fixed now(part of upcoming SEEK support)
- working FM radio reciever support
- working FM radio transmitter support - I guess you can make your own radio station that can transmit waves in a ~1m radius But to be serious - this could help people who want to listen to their music collection in a car that doesn't have bluetooth.
- cleaned up the leftovers from the faulty commits
- use the correct qc-opt library for power HAL to function properly
Build #9
- CM source update, check cmxlog for more info
Merged some bagyusz improvements, like:
- small cleanup in sources
- added dumpstate back for bug reporting
Build #8
- CM source updates, check them out:
http://www.cmxlog.com/11/huashan
- reverted to the source-built RIL, let me know if it fixes the connectivity issues(especially data connections, like LTE, etc., etc.)
- cleanups to the makefiles
- small changes to RIL
- switch to the c2d composition type(previously cpu was doing all the job, now the screen composing is split between CPU and GPU)
Build #7
- GPU drivers updated to newest available ones (yuga .283 firmware ones)
- swapped EGL config with a proper one, now it references adreno instead of adreno200
- add setup_fs service into the init part - if your device was freshly unlocked, it will prepare the filesystem on /data for you
- removed wheatley and lionheart governors, as they were a little bit bugged
- cherrypicked some bagyusz commits(most of them, just without the whole device tree splitting, I'm leaning towards unification where possible with UB trees)
- hijack.tar is now split into two parts - backend.tar and ramdisk.tar(it creates more room for homemade experiments, and makes users more safe - now you need to screw up two files instead of one to make the device unusable)
- minor cleanup in the ramdisk scripts, to make it more like in the official repos
- revert back to official releasetools(updater-script and binary in the final package) to make flashing more seamless and "stable"
And, this is something that you won't expect:
- CM source updates, covered in the good old nightly flavour
Build #6
- merged all the improvements from official trees, like:
* new qcom power HAL
* new libqc-opt.so library
- one change to GPU driver subsystem that's not even committed yet(test the gaming performance and tell me if it's better, for me it fixed choppy menu animations in GTA:SA)
- CM source updates:
* SystemUI crashes fixed
* other improvements, check cmxlog.com for the full CM change list
- probably more stuff that I can't recall, I'm a little bit sick
Anyways, enjoy!

- CM source update
- lags fixed
- audio imbalance fixed

Oh! Nice! The nightlies that come out in the 28-8 build can be installed? I thought that in the LBL ROMs they couldn't be installed.
Thanks

If you have unlocked bootloader you can do that, but if you have locked bl, you can only use the build #1.
