Goal: Provide a similar CyanogenMod and AOKP experience which I enjoy to others with the same taste

Methodology: Build CyanogenMod (latest version) locally and cherry-pick unmerged revisions so that we may have the best of the future right now. AOKP will be built straight from nightly source.

Reasoning: It's silly to wait for the next new thing...With CyanogenMod's Gerrit code review, I've found it to be nice to able to pick-and-choose things that seem beneficial.

Release Type Update 08262014

I have now listed the URL to get onto Google Drive where my buildbot automatically uploads to once finished building. These are not tested, as I can't flash a new ROM every day. However, they are a nightly build catching you up to CM11, plus whatever cherry-picks I talked about previously...This means that previous cherry-picks are maintained even throughout the nightly builds.

Second Release Cherry-Picks 08202014 [discussion begins HERE]:

Add an option in the InCall UI to perform call recording

Change-Id: Icc86a0a7ae9d2493a837d02f321df7cb1387cded

cmhw: add tap to wake tunable

Change-Id: I82c913ceee0b23e2ab1e8261b36123cac898d589

m8: Increase the volume step at which the safe volume warning shows

Currently the warning shows up at less than half volume, at normal

listening volume. This bumps it up a bit.

Change-Id: Ie85bb036f75a55b2eb6d1802baba11e632c19908

GPE IR hal implementation. Ported from M7 work.

Using SmartRemote app, the standard in user IR remote apps, it was

confirmed IR code recored fails using AOSP IR hal implementation.

Using the GPE HTC IR hal, with associated resources, blast as well

as record works. There appears to be no conflicts having both

implementations on the device at the same time.

Change-Id: I2a97112a977d98ef601ce4e0f3922f3f7cd5e680

m8: switch to 400 density

Thank you to CyanogenMod and its community as well as AOKP's community for the opportunity.

Thank you to XDA and the community for allowing me here.

Thank you to HTC, Google, and all other hardware/software sponsors for the environment with which we work in!
