CyanogenMod 11 Android 4 4 2 Kit Kat OS for HTC One Mini How to install it

Did you get HTC One Mini and want to upgrade it to KitKat 4.4 OS? If yes, then I have got an *extra* thing for you. I hope you know "CyanogenMod" ROMs. Most of you might know whats that, so I wont write a long paragraph on explaining what CyanogenMod is. 
HTC One Mini users can now enjoy latest Android OS, Android 4.4 Kit Kat on their mini devices. Also, it is not 4.4 OS, it is based on latest CyanogenMod sources: 4.4.2 KK.
The ROM is built by recognized developer h8rift in XDA-Developers website, which is very much popular for development and Android tricks and tweaks. Also this ROM is compiled with 4.8 toolchain, which modifies RAMDisk by tweaking it and also it has modified load address.
The ROM is tested by users and is fully compatible with ClockWorkMod Recovery (touch recovery has not been tested yet) which is fully working on HTC One s-off and unlocked.




MXRootRom wants to remind there users that MXRootRom is not responsible for their bricked HTC One Mini while trying this guide. Firmware installation voids the warranty and therefore the users may try this guide on their will.

Pre-requisites:

  • The installationg guide of Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat CyanogenMod ROM is only meant for HTC One Mini users only, and not for HTC One or any other HTC or non-HTC device. If you are trying this ROM in your handset, then let me be clear that it wont boot in any device except HTC One Mini and MXRootRom holds no warranty about their devices.
  • Make sure you have latest version of recovery. TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) v2.6.3.0 and CWM (ClockWorkMod) v6.0.4.5 is fully compatible with this ROM, if you dont have these recoveries, then also it will work fine.
  • Backup your device before trying anything mentioned in this guide! You can make a Nandroid backup in CWM Recovery by going to Backup and Restore and selecting Backup option. For TWRP Recovery, go to Nandroid backup, and select every partition to backup them and press X.
  • Do make sure that the drivers are installed on your computer to connect HTC One Mini so that you can transfer files (ROM and other ZIPs).
  • Ensure USB Debugging option is working. To reveal the option, go to Settings, follow to About phone and tap 7 times on build number. Now go back and you will see a new option Developer options. Enable it and enable USB Debugging too.
  • Make sure you have more than 70% of battery to install Android 4.4 Kit Kat (CM 11) on your device.
  • Also confirm that your device is unlocked (depends upon carriers) and rooted with the TWRP or CWM Recovery.

How To Install CyanogenMod 11 ROM Android 4 4 2 In Motorola Moto G

CyanogenMod is the best custom ROM or firmware for Android currently. There are many other ROMs like CarbonROM, MiUi, Lewa OS etc. which are popular but CyanogenMod ROM is mother of these ROMs! There are many reasons for that like when the new version of Android releases, CyanogenMod releases their next Firmware or ROM version as soon as possible but in less than 1 week after the release. That makes people to download the ROM and not only this, the ROM provides many features that stock roms dont provide like DSP manager, Focal application, Theme support, better and faster notification bar, better and modified call application, fully cusomtizable, all blotwares, light launcher, VPN like application which allows you to surf internet anonymously.




I am now fed of writing the long features of this ROM so you can see some features of this ROM in my older post on Samsung Galaxy S for this ROM.
You can Google too about the features of this ROM and other details of this ROM and about CyanogenMod. Lets first of all see prerequisites and downloads and then finally the main guide of installing the ROM in your device

Prerequisites and Downloads

  • CyanogenMod 11 ROM for Motorola Moto G: click here (choose any version which you like.)
  • Unlocked Motorola Moto G.
  • Rooted Motorola Moto G.
  • ClockWorkMod Recovery (tutorial for this recovery ONLY) or any other recovery like TWRP etc.
  • Charged Motorola Moto G upto 70%.
  • Dont flash the ROM on any other devices like Motorola Moto X just thinking that the name or the specifications of the device are almost same.
  • Dont mix the content of this ROM with any other ROM like SlimROM, Stock ROM or any other ROM because it might not boot.
  • Follow only things which are written here! If you followed anything else, no support will be provided.
  • The ROM works in any bootloader, either on Android 4.3 Bootloader or Android 4.4 Bootloader.
  • MXRootRom is not responsible for bricked Motorola Moto G. You may end up with bricking your Motorola Moto G like device not booting, SD Card not detecting or any other thing that fails to work. For that reason, I have added a special step to make a Nandroid backup but even after making a nandroid backup, I am not responsible for your device. You are trying the guide on your will not mine.
  • Nothing special except some common sense.
How To Upgrade Motorola Moto G to CyanogenMod 11 Kit Kat ROM [Android 4.4.2]
  • Download the ROM from your PC or from any source.
  • Move the ZIP to your SD Card without extracting the ROM or touching it (by touching, I mean by modifying the contents of it.)
  • Reboot yout Motorola Moto G to Recovery. If you dont know how to do that so type these commands in terminal emulator
    su
    reboot recovery    .
  • When you will be in CWM Recovery open Backup and Restore option from it and select Backup.
  • After the backup completes, select Wipe data/factory reset option.
  • After wiping your data, go to Advanced option in CWM recovery and select Wipe dalvik cache.
  • Now select install zip from sdcard option from the main menu and select the ZIP which you just moved to your SD Card and confirm it by selecting Yes in CWM prompt.
  • [Optional!!] Now flash Google Applications by using selecting install zip from sdcard and selecting the ROM and confirming.
  • Select Wipe data/factory reset option.
  • Reboot!
The ROM will take some more time to reboot because the system is building dalvik cache, data, cache and other files that are required for the booting of the system. The ROM will not take more than 5 minutes to boot, please dont shut down the device in the booting. If the ROM boots properly, then please comment here and give us your reviews, even if the ROM fails to boot, then too comment here and telling whats not working and the steps that you followed.

Install CyanogenMod 11 4 4 KitKat in Samsung Galaxy S I9000

Samsung Galaxy S I9000 is the oldest mobile phone in Galaxy series by Samsung but still they are quite popular because S has great development and its very cheap too. Till now there is Android 4.3 Update for Samsung Galaxy S I9000 but now you could update it from Android 4.3 to 4.4 too! There will be very less noticeable changes in KitKat when youll upgrade it from Jelly Bean but you can notice the performance in KitKat OS. Samsung actually left support for this device because its old and they want users to buy Galaxy S3 or S4 but we can get KitKat by ROM! Yeah, if you have rooted your Samsung Galaxy S I9000 then you can surely upgrade it to KitKat.



Not only the AOSP ROM! You will get CyanogenMod 11 [KitKat] for Samsung Galaxy S I9000. Its a great ROM (CyanogenMod). You will get many extra features added by CM which you wont find in AOSP ROMs. CyanogenMod 11 is totally customizable so you can set the color of notification bar, change to millions of themes, use DSP Manager. Lets see what you will get in CyanogenMod 11-


  • DSP Manager- Love the base? CyanogenMod has made an application that can control your loud speaker, headssets sound. In short it is an equalizer. You can set Loud Sound mode, Bass mode, Treble Mode and other Modes.
  • Incognito Mode- You want to be anonymous and surf the internet? With CM you can be anonymous while browsing the internet, I mean you can fake the IP address and hence you are anonymous.
  • Theme Changer- Bored of changing ROMs for just themes? With CM 11 you can download hundreds of themes available on Play Store as well as from XDA or blogs. Pink, Blue, Red, Yellow or any color, even transparent.
  • Faster- The AOSP ROMs are always slow because of their blotwares, heavy themeing, high RAM counsming applications etc. but CyanogenMod is 5x faster than AOSP ROMs, I can guaranty you that. It has zipaligned applications, tons of tweaks inside framework, boot etc.

Actually there are many features but even I am excited to show you CyanogenMod 11 for Samsung Galaxy S. Lets not wait and see whats required, downloads and install tutorial.

Prerequisite
  • The ROM is only made for Samsung Galaxy S I9000, please do not try it on your device untill youve S I9000 because it can lead to brick. No support will be provided to the users who will install this ROM on any other device.
  • Backup your current data and contact numbers because in the process of installing CyanogeMod, the data will be totally erased. You can backup your data with GMAIL or with applications available in Google Play Store.
  • Make a Nandroid backup before trying to install the ROM. If you backup the ROM with CWM (Nandroid backup) then you can easily restore the ROM if you found the ROM is not good or you find any bugs. The ROM is not supported by CyanogenMod so we cannot say that everything will be right. So be on the secure side by performing Nandroid backup.
  • Before flashing the ROM, make sure the USB Development is enabled. To enable it go to
    Settings -> developer options > check the USB Debugging checkbox.
  • Before charging make sure you have more than 70% battery because if the installation failed in between (because of no battery) then you might brick it.
Note
You might get set_metadata_recursive related errors if you are installing the ROM on custom kernel not supporting SELinux support to fix it, install any other kernel before flashing [having SELinux support] or stock kernel or simply install CM 10.2 before flashing CM11.
