General:

These are UNOFFICIAL CM11.0 Kitkat Nightlies / Releases brought to you by Open Desire Project and TeamCodefire. Builds are generated automatically each night. Process starts around 00:30 PDT. If it fails, then there will be no build until the reason for failure is taken care of which can take time. Latest 12 nightlies will be kept on the server. If you want a longer history of them, you are free to archive them yourself.

FAQ:

Q: I tried to flash the ROM and got this:

Installing update...
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/..path od ROM.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

A: Update your recovery to one that is compatible with new recovery functions. See the list below.

4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.6 RC 3 or newer

TWRP 2.8.0.0 SAGA or newer

Q: I've used HTC Dev unlock and flashed the rom but it won't boot. What should I do?

A: You need to extract boot.img from the zip and flash it via fastboot. If you don't have fastboot executable anymore from flashing recovery, install Android SDK platform tools (Linux users should find it from distro's package management) and then reboot to bootloader, open command prompt and navigate to the location you extracted your boot.img and type:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

You need to repeat this everytime you flash new version of this rom to ensure everything will work fluently as long as you have just basic HTC Dev unlock.

Q: Where are my developer and performance options?

A: http://goo.gl/jpS8r

Q: Feature X doesn't work, let's make 1000 posts about it to annoy everyone.

A: Please, dont. Use search and then use search again and only then report your problem with necessary logs. [Logcat guide, thanks to MusikMonk for the link]

Q: I hate you for not fixing this issue X!!!

A: I love you too.

Q: How I can build CM11.0 myself?

A: Setup a basic Android build environment.

mkdir cm11
cd cm11/
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0
mkdir -p .repo/local_manifests
wget https://github.com/OpenDesireProject/android/raw/cm-11.0/local_manifest.xml -O .repo/local_manifests/cm_odp.xml
repo sync
cd vendor/cm/
./get-prebuilts
cd ../../
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch cm_saga-userdebug
mka bacon

Once the build finishes you'll find your goods from out/target/product/saga/ directory.

Q: Something about something something something.

A: Ask the guy/gal next to you.
