All cyanogenmod goodies ;)

Performance profiles explained:

Power save: Max CPU 1.2Ghz, slower CPU governor. If battery level <15% keylights are turned off and screen maximum brightness is limited. This is normally good enough for normal use.

Balanced: Max CPU 1.9Ghz, balanced CPU & GPU governors. If more performance needed, use this mode (e.g. heavy web sites).

Performance: Max CPU 2.1GHz, balanced CPU governor, performance GPU governor. This is good mode for heavy gaming.

Battery saving tips:

1) Use 'Power save' profile, when ever possible.

2) Set screen brightness as low as suitable for you.

3) Set screen off max CPU in 'ROM Extra Settings' to as low as suitable for you. e.g. I have set this to 883Mhz

4) When not in use (e.g. nights), turn off data (mobile, wifi) and battery consuption will be VERY low.

5) Use Privacy Guard to disable wakeup, keep awake and location permission from apps/services you don't need. This is really good battery saver! BUT if you disable from certain services that OS needs, some apps may malfuntion and consume even more battery.

How to install:

NOTE: If you dont have custom recovery installed yet, please see instructions for that elsewhere. (see TS-Recovery)

1) boot into TWRP (or similar) recovery (TS TWRP recommended)

2) backup and restore -> backup

When coming from other ROM: (or want to clean install)

3.1) mounts and storage -> format /system

3.2) wipe cache, dalvik-cache, data and factory reset

When updating existing superluminal CM11 ROM:

3.1) wipe cache, dalvik-cache

4) install cm-11-xxxxxxx-UNOFFICIAL-TS-kiton.zip (select from storage or via adb sideload)

5) install gapps (if you need/like)

5.1) Gapps can be downloaded from various sources. For example from here or here

6) reboot

7) profit :)

NOTE: All changes in system partition are lost when you update ROM. (e.g. lenovo camera addon)

Since build cm-11-20150308-UNOFFICIAL-kiton you will also receive OTA updates through CM Updater.

FAQ:

Q: How to enable Smart cover, Dual SIM or Double tap to wake support?

A: Open 'ROM Extra Settings' from application drawer and enable smart cover service.

Q: Where are performance modes?

A: Pull down quick settings from status bar and click '+' to add performance icon

Q: I can't find developer options and performance settings, why?

A: Settings -> About phone -> Click 'Build number' several times

Q: I don't have reboot options in power menu, why?

A: Settings -> Developer options -> Advanced reboot

Q: Is it possible to use Lenovo stock camera app?

A: Yes, you can download camera addon zip from download section. File must be installed from recovery mode.

Q: Why power button does not wake device?

A: Yes it does! You're just covering proximity sensor. There's "prevent accidential wakeup" option enabled by default.

Reporting Bugs:

1) Grab a logcat right after/during the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)

in case of modem bugs, also "logcat -b radio" is needed. If possible log must be captured all way from boot.

2) If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)

3) If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log

Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more changes there are we can reproduce bug and possible fix it. Please also do not report known issues. The following is a useful format to follow:

What is your phone model (K910, K910L, K910e, etc..)

- ROM Version

Are you using:

- a task killer.

- ART Runtime.

- Dual SIM.

- other modifications; Provide any additional information (observations/frequency of problem/last version it worked on/etc) as needed.

We have spent ernomous amount of time for porting this ROM.

All work is done in our spare time. We give this for you as free of charge.

If you like our work, please consider donating some money for a new porting equipments.

Or just

few bucks for team members to have a nice cold beer after long day of coding

;)

ENJOY!
