Hey there! I know that very few people still have this 2012-era device, and that the stock ROM is (like most low-end devices at the moment) sluggish and REALLY laggy.

As I'm going to sell the device, just wanted to publish he port I've made!

What does work

Wi-Fi

Camera

Sound & Microphone

Graphic acceleration

USB

Sensors

Sd card

What doesn't work

RIL (SIM and such)

Bluetooth

Wi-Fi Direct

DOWNLOADS

TWRP for restoring the ROM (flashable through Odin/Heimdall)

The ROM backup in zip format (DON'T FLASH IT)

READ THIS:

This ROM is a port of the original CM11 built for the Fame by wulsic.

This ROM isn't a common flashable ZIP

, as the patches I did in order to make it work were applied in the system itself. It may be possible to make a flashable zip form this, but meanwhile I will publish it as a TWRP backup.

PLEASE INSTALL TWRP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE, without it you can't restore the ROM backup.

The ROM is in Spanish language by default, so to set it back to English go to Settings icon at launcher, then the "Idioma e introducción de texto" section, tap "Idioma" and select English.

The ROM includes some gapps (as they need to be modified in order to work nicely)., If I need to remove them please contact me!

ADDED THINGS

Xposed Framework installed and running

GravityBox

XuiMod

Service Disabler (for making google play services usable on low end devices like this)

At developer settings, some options are enabled by me (like Show touches or Stay awake while USB connected). Disable them if you want.

The ROM includes Xposed just for some animations and GravityBox, you can disable most things at their respective modules (for animations disable XuiMod and for quick action tweaks and RAM bar in recents disable GravityBox). Those mods seemed to produce almost no lag so I did keep them.

HOW TO INSTALL THIS BACKUP

As I've said before, this ROM is a TWRP backup, so in order to install (restore) it you need to do the following steps:

Unzip the file and put the 4204134ec2ea3100 folder at /emmc/TWRP/BACKUPS (if BACKUPS folder doesn't exist create it) so the path looks like /emmc/TWRP/BACKUPS/4204134ec2ea3100/

Go to TWRP's main menu, select Restore and select the cm11-nevisvess-backup entry.

Iif it asks you for which partition restore, select ALL of them. They all are important (without data the system may not boot cause of xposed, for example).

After restoring everything, restart the phone. It should boot and you will get to the unlock screen (system done)
