Good work buddy. Looks good.
Kindly update what is not working.
It's a very good job, BUT every time you make a big change to the phone it restarts.For example when i changed the language it restarted, then i added my Google Acoount again restart...idk what's going on!
Yes. I think new Andreno libs working not excellent, maybe conflict with KGSL 3.8 in kernel, phone restart without log at this moment, so need finding problem.
fix for ugly gradients in Settings
Here is info how to fix ugly black gradients in Settings:

The purpose of this thread is to show the current status of CM 11 (Android 4.4 KitKat) on the P990 (LG Optimus 2X) and to discuss the various builds that may appear.
I will try to keep this post updated with the latest info about CM 11 for our p990. If you guys find new information that you think should be in this post, then please make a post about it.
Please remember that there is no support for any bugs you might find in builds listed here!
You are very welcome to post about stuff that is broken, which has not been discovered before and I will then include it in the working / not working section below.
Status:
@tonyp have released a new test build (cm-11-20140120-UNOFFICIAL-p990) and here are his notes for it:
tonyp said:
Last notes:
As always thx to @hjuuni for his great work, without him this wouldn't be possible.
The kernel is NOT updated! Do that yourself.
The PerformanceControl app you'll find in the Appdrawer is there by accident and is a _different_ version than the one baked into the settings.
Don't use it, or just remove the apk from /system/app.
The reason for stuff like that is simple: This is an alpha testbuild for myself which I'm just sharing because I haven't released anything in a while and am going to be busy again during the next days.
Once I do a proper release I will of course polish it.
So don't complain, if you do I just don't share the testbuilds anymore, easy as that :cyclops:

The working / not working list looks a little better for this build and the changes are great, so I think it is just a matter of stability if you are thinking about running this build as a daily driver. I can't conclude anything about stability just yet though.
If you dirty flash this build over your current CM 11 ROM then remember to do this first:
pengus77 said:
For those of you having issues with the hardware keys (not working after dirty flashing) I found reason and solution
Most probably you had (like me) the google keyboard selected as default before flashing the new build... which removes it. This leaves the rom without a default input system, which in turn blocks also the events from the hw buttons (excluding home apparently). To fix this, just go to settings -> input and click the little settings icon on the right of the aosp keyboard. By doing this, that keyboard will become the new default one and everything will work again. Have fun

The previous build (cm-11-20131226-UNOFFICIAL-p990) is working very well as a daily driver if you can live without BT calls and wifi tethering.
The builds come with kk alpha 15 by @pengus77 and a mini gapps package.
To read more about the status of the KK 3.1 kernel check this thread: [KERNEL][stable: M1 (2.6.39.4) - exp: Alpha 28 (3.1.10)] Kowalski Kernel.
Most stable test build: cm-11-20131226-UNOFFICIAL-p990 or cm-11-20140120-UNOFFICIAL-p990?
Latest test build: cm-11-20140120-UNOFFICIAL-p990
Please don't nag anyone about ETA's or progress updates.
Builds:
Test builds by @tonyp can be found in his basketbuild folder. These are for the new bootloader only! Use the tool from this thread to convert to old bootloader.
Installation:
Do a full wipe and format /system before flashing.
Flash ROM.
Flash latest KK 3.1 alpha by @pengus77 (min. alpha 15 for working wifi). It can be found in his Dev-Host folder.
Credits:

Changelogs
cm-11-20140120-UNOFFICIAL-p990 by @tonyp:
Ported my TheROM hardwarekeys customization options (open power menu, screen off, toggle torch, take screenshot, toggle last app).
If someone is wondering, personally I do the following changes:
double press home: power menu
long press menu button: screen off
short press search: recent apps switcher
long press search: In-app search
Added my dynamic Quickmemo support which activates when you flash the (CM10.2) Quickmemo app. Untested!
Replaced CMs performance menu with Omnis PerformanceControl.
It's been a bit more work than I hoped, but it's really nice imo (as it's fully baked into the Settings app, which I like a lot :good
This hides the zRAM preferences currently, though (so you'd have to disable it via the build.prop if for whatever reason you don't like zram).
Cheerypicked the commit which keeps the InCallUI in memory (thx @pengus77 for discovering it)
debloated and slimmed down the ROM (CM Updater etc. stuff gone). Forgot the Movie Studio which will go in the next version
Updated mini gapps to 4.4.2
Synced (mainly) to CM11 M2 (this might be related to the issues, I'll try a full nightly build once I find the time)
Pre-included BarcodeScanner (as I use it to connect to my wifi after a full wipe).
Using tegra2 optimized bionic instead of the generic one, thx to @Firtecy. No idea if this has an impact.
Removed Google Dialer and Google Keyboard. You can flash them yourself if you want them.
Edit: Oh I almost forgot, fixed some permissions (mainly bluetooth related), but I have no idea if this has any effect.
I don't have any bluetooth devices here.
Lowered overall vibration intensity.
cm-11-20131226-UNOFFICIAL-p990 by @tonyp:
switch to bcmdhd & 3.1 kernel (kk alpha 15)
fully fixed internal storage
removed the CM crap (CM Account, CMUpdater, CMFota)

An earlier test build had non oft the hot reboots wheb turning screen off. It seems to something with the surfaceFlinger, but not directly the surfaceflinger. But it is something in frameworks/native.
The first testbuild was quite stable related to hot reboots. But there are problems related to SD card, wifi, camera...

I'm glad to hear that hasn't been a consistent issue. I noticed tonyp wrote some notes about the build from 02/12 being more stable with regards to the hot reboots. I haven't tested that build myself though. Thanks for the info and keep up the good work.
I just tested the latest build from 6/12 and updated the working / not working section accordingly. You will notice that I added some logs in case you guys are interested.
I try port kernel from android.googlesource.com/kernel/tegra/+/android-tegra-3.10/, anyone insterested, please give me a hand
If you get that one booting, let @pengus77 know

I just tested build cm-11-20131202-UNOFFICIAL-p990 and it seems quite stable as I had 0 hot reboots during the hour that I was testing. The hot reboots when turning the screen off is also gone, just like @Firtecy said earlier. The build have no gapps though. Apart from the hot reboots this build have almost the same issues as two most recent ones. Check it out in the working / not working section.

Thats right and because of that i use the libgui, libui, and libsurfaceflinger from that build if i need a stable build regards of hot reboots.
That works for nearly all new CyanogenMod builds i made.
So you can test other builds, but when you get a dark screen, just push the libs to /system/lib/ and reboot. For me it worked several times. But when cm update their sources in next time, i don't know if it still works.
Hi, hot reboot may be resolved with this change http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/53162/.

Tried it with a dirty build and no success.. I think it is only a fix for taking Screenshots and that works for me, when I take functional libs.

CM11 ROM for SU660 maybe help our developers.It is said that it doesn t have hot reboots and works ok.Here is a link of this rom:
http://d-h.st/hU8
I've built a new version, which should fix most of the apparent issues.
No constant hot reboots anymore and a working camera :good:
Edit: It appears only the preview works, actually taking pictures doesn't.
The external SD card doesn't get mounted properly yet, but apart from that it should be fairly stable to use (although I still wouldn't recommend it as a daily driver).
Note that this does still ship with the Kowalski Kernel. The 3.1 kernel will make a huge difference once it's fully ready.
Getting the kernel stable now should be the first priority now I think, if that turns out great the future of KitKat should be a lot brighter.
Unfortunately i'm extremely busy and will continue to be so, this is just a quick build I've been working on every now and then.
It might as well be the last one I'll be able to make until next year
Huge thanks to @hjunii, this is largely based on his SU660 build.
Download:
http://tonyp.basketbuild.com/index.php?dir=main/CM-11.0/
Edit: some more notes regarding the build:
I've enabled each and every of the low RAM configs. This does disable some of the nice animations and apparently even the transparent statusbar but in return it will result in a smoother device experience.
Some of these effects will get enabled again at a later stage, I just wanted to see which measures kitkat does offer for low end devices.
I did not yet do any customizations to the build whatsoever apart from the needed changes.
I would suggest you remove/disable/freeze the CM Updater, it's useless as we don't have official support anyways and it takes about 2mb of ram.
(but even with the included gapps we do have >120mb free ram after a reboot, Google really brought down the ram usage of their apps & framework!)
Allow me some general advice:
Pretty please do not constantly ask all those people who're working on pushing the device forward about their progress.
You might not believe it, but they will tell you if there is anything new that's worth mentioning.
I'm seeing all development threads cluttered by meaningless posts, it's insane.
Yes, I know at the 2x (and in general at xda) the development section is often misused for unimportant comments and this might not be a problem when a ROM is established and only gets minor updates.
But ask yourself if you're doing yourself a favor if you're making useless posts in the dev threads which will make it harder for the devs to find the rare useful posts somewhere between all those spam.
(This does not apply to this very thread as far as I'm concerned as it's in the general section - but ultimately it's @Fíghter02's decision as he's the OP).
Fantastic tonyp, just fantastic thanks
I had install today's version everything work perfect very fast fluid just only thing about sdcard like the first picture that sdcard report error AND I prefer to use external SD as sdcard0 and internalSD as sdcard1 so I push some script into /etc/init.d and bingo other picture.
IF someone want to try just push 99kmount file into /etc/init.d and set permission to rwxr-xr-x OR wait for tonyp add feature of switch sdcard like the previous rom has in setting.
EDIT 99kmount file content for script are
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702 -t vfat /dev/block/vold/179:11 /storage/sdcard1
mount -o rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702 -t vfat /dev/block/vold/179:17 /storage/sdcard0
SORRY IT seem to be trouble with camera so please do not use it just delete file if you create it SO it will be back to tonyp default.
wow,downloading now.....great dev @tonyp

And voila, with a few tweaks here and there, it works (for the most part).
What works:
- Display
- Sound
- WiFi
- 4G Data
- Bluetooth
- NFC (somewhat flakey, but much better with fixes in V4)
- LED
- Magnetic Cover Sleep/Wake
- WideVine DRM
- Double-Tap to wake
What doesn't work:
- FM Radio (working on it)
- Camera (Taking Pictures works, but sometimes the camera is not able to connect. Taking a video crashes the mediaserver.)
- You tell me
I have used it for the last few weeks. Battery life near optimal now and I had no crashes up until now. If your battery depletes rapidly, please disable NFC and check if it betters things. Then comment here, so I can look into it.
Keeping your data:
If you come from an earlier version of this ROM it should suffice to only flash boot.img and system.img. Coming from Stock or another ROM you could try to not flash userdata and see if it would keep your data, but I think it will not work in most cases.
Flashing:
Flashing userdata it is like doing a wipe. So BACKUP your data! You have been warned!
To flash it, you need to put your tablet into fastboot mode (VolUp + plugging in USB-Cable) and then flash the three image files from the zip file in the provided link like:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
gapps and/or root:
If you want Google Apps and/or root you need to download official twrp for scorpion windy (or inofficial for scorpion) from here and flash it to the FOTAKernel partition with the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash FOTAKernel twrp-3.0.2-0-scorpion_windy.img
After that you can boot into recovery by hitting VolUp multiple times once the LED flashes purple until it turns orange.
From there you are able to flash
- gapps for Nougat 7.1 arm (nano confirmed working, others could be problematic)
- Magisk-V8 and phh-SuperUser (confirmed working)
Tips for better battery life:
I installed Naptime to trigger deep doze as soon as the tablet goes to sleep. I also enabled zzmoove cpu gov and noop scheduler in the kernel options. Because of the high display brightness, I installed Lux Lite, to dim the screen if it is darker. This leads to me getting standby battery consumption of around 1.2% per hour (measured with GSam Battery Monitor) which is nearly the same amount I got with stock.
Changelog:
18.11.2016 - V4:
- Integrated newest Android Patches from Sony and Google.
- New binaries from qcom (camera, sensors, display, ...)
- Custom kernel with additional fixes, FMRadio patches (not working yet) and zen I/O scheduler
- Fixes and Enhancements here and there
08.11.2016 - V3:
- Integrated newest Android Version NDE63X from earlier today.
- Integrated and enabled WideVine DRM, so that Google Play Movies is now working.
- Custom kernel with additional zzmoove governer and adreno_idler patches to lengthen battery life
- Fixes and Enhancements here and there
04.11.2016 - V2:
- switched the Camera subsystem to HAL1 after discussion with the sony camera guys
- fixed most of the camera related crashes and hangs. Quality of the preview is poor, but pictures are okay.
- Taking a Video crashes the mediaserver and yields no playable result as of now.
- added build for SGP611, which is untested as I do not own the device. But it should work.
02.11.2016 - V1:
- Initial release: Everything except Camera is working. Camera uses HAL3.
Thanks:
- Sony, for providing awesome AOSP support on github

oh man, you're awesome! i will test it when i have a little bit more time. Thanks!
for the camera there is a post in the forum that some dev are trying to figure out a solution for get a camera fully functional?
edit: for the moment the most things are working fine, only one thing when i play video, the video show a green imagen. i will continue testing.

Are you using a specfic video player? Which codec does the video file use?
As for the camera. I am already in contact with the camera guys from Sony and will experiment a little with their suggested solutions today.

Nope, only SGP621 (scorpion) for now, as I have no scorpion_windy. I'll maybe do a blind build once scorpion is stable and functional enough for my taste.

Tried with many different samples from mplayerhq with many different codecs. In VLC with hardware and software decoding as well as with firefoxes internal playback. They all played back fine and without color distortion. Maybe your player app is not yet compatible with 7.1?
Well this is a surprise. Since I never used NFC and the Cameras with the tablet and always got rid of the corresponding apks in /system this would actually be a daily runner for me right now
Sadly I only have a SGP611, so no love for me right now...
Anyway, top notch work, keep it up!

I think I nearly have the camera figured out. As soon as I am done with that, I will try to do a blind build for the SGP611 (scorpion_windy). If it goes through, you can be my guinea pig for testing if you want

TWRP stopped working after Gapps flash.
Reflashed TWRP but still stack at TWRP wallpaper and doesn't start.
Does anyone have the solution?
ps. Found out if I take out SD card, TWRP works.
SD card corrupts easily, it seems.

This is strange. Please try reflashing boot.img to boot and twrp to FOTAKernel. If that does not work, you could try formatting those partitions before writing to them via fastboot format.

Is there a way to get ROOT?

Thank you for your info.
I have flashed phh-superuser-magisk-r259 but the root is still missing. No boot loop though.
ps. Solved by installing phh's superuser from Play store.
Added build for SGP611, but the following Warning applies
Warning: The SGP611 images are not tested, but just built by me, as I do not own the device. But as the two devices are the same except for the 4G Modem, it should work. If not, please let me know.
Have fun testing
This ROM is discontinued. The successor of CyanogenMod is LineageOS which can be found in the corresponding Thread. The Downloads will be left here for the time being.
Disclaimer: Flash at your own risk! Backup your data before flashing! I am not responsible for bricked devices, World War III or your exploding cats!

About:
As my beloved SGP621 was just collecting dust, I decided to try porting Android 7.1 AOSP onto it. That worked well, so I moved on to CM 14.1
And voila, with a few tweaks here and there, it works (for the most part). But this is still considered BETA, so be warned and flash at your own risk.
What works:
- Display
- Sound
- WiFi
- 4G Data
- Bluetooth
- NFC (somewhat flakey)
- LED
- Magnetic Cover Sleep/Wake
- Double-Tap to wake
What doesn't work:
- FM Radio (It works, but only if Bluetooth is off and breaks if BT is on while Radio gets enabled)
- Camera (Taking Pictures works, but sometimes the camera is not able to connect. Taking a video crashes the mediaserver.)
- LiveDisplay is not working correctly
- Performance Profiles cannot be set (CM14.1 issue)
- You tell me
If your battery depletes rapidly, please disable NFC and check if it betters things. Then comment here, so I can look into it.
Flashing Recovery (This only applies if you do not have one already. If you do, go to the Flashing section below):
If you flash for the first time, you first need to download the CM recovery for your device from below.
To flash it, you need to put your tablet into fastboot mode (VolUp + plugging in USB-Cable) and then flash the recovery like this:
Code:
fastboot flash FOTAKernel recovery-scorpion.img
If you come from stock or from a ROM that does not support Recovery on the FOTAKernel partition, you also need to fastboot flash the boot image for your device before rebooting into recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot-scorpion.img
Flashing:
If you installed the recovery to the FOTAKernel partition then, while booting, get your device into recovery mode, by hitting VolUp multiple times once the LED flashes purple. Do so until it turns orange. (If you already have another recovery installed, boot into it.)
Now select install from adb sideload and from your computer issue:
Code:
adb sideload cm-14.1-(DATE)-UNOFFICIAL-scorpion(_windy).zip
gapps:
CM14.1 was tested with open gapps for Nougat 7.1 arm (nano confirmed working, others could be problematic)
Tips for better battery life:
I installed Naptime to trigger deep doze as soon as the tablet goes to sleep. I also enabled zzmoove cpu gov and noop scheduler in the kernel options. Because of the high display brightness. This leads to me getting standby battery consumption of around 1.2% per hour (measured with GSam Battery Monitor) which is nearly the same amount I got with stock.

Good work!!! Done it. Works fine until now. Will do more research in the morning. Anyway, there is an issue with Google Play. It says that my device isn't compatible with a lot of apps that I normally use. I flashed multiple variants of 7.1 Gapps. Which one did you use? What about build.prop? Or dpi? No idea. I will get back tomorrow with more feedback. Keep it up!

Please give an example of an app which does not work, so I can test and have a look in the logs. Below solution should fix those problems.
For anyone who wants to fix this without flashing the full fixed version. Please download attached file, enable root for adb and do the following:
Code:
adb push tablet_core_hardware.xml /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /sdcard/tablet_core_hardware.xml /system/etc/permissions/
chmod 644 /system/etc/tablet_core_hardware.xml
reboot
Your device should reboot then and all the capabilities should be available again.

I had 3 crashes in 2h, while I was playing Clash of Clans. Always within a minute after waking the tablet from deep sleep. I tried to mimic the situation and get an adb logcat, but it doesn't crash while charging. Because it doesn't sleep. Do you think a logcat installed on the tablet could shed some light? Would that even remain logged after the crash?

There should be logcat apps in the playstore, that save the logs so you can review them afterwards. Could you also please try and disable NFC and see if that resolves the crashes? The only crashes I saw till now were all NFC related.
The NFC setting is just blinking on and off continuously. I'll attach a logcat anyway. There are really a lot of NFC related errorshttp://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5835b760cefb3/Log_2016-11-23_16-29-53.txt

CM is working great only issue I've noticed so far is that live display isn't working but that's not a serious issue.
Keep up the awesome work:victory:
Update: Ignore this part I just found out its a problem in CM and not with this rom-Another minor bug, after disabling control ringtone volume in settings-buttons the volume keys still control the ringer volume when they should be controlling the media volume.
OMG! I can't beleive that this rom exist for sgp611..Thank you, will try

At the moment I am looking into forwardporting an older version of the NFC lib, as it seems to have worked then. After that I will be examining the charging issue. To be clear, this happens if you USB charge while the device is on and once it reaches 100% the wakelock is kept? Do you use a Sony chagrger? Do you charge via USB or via Magnetick Dock/Connector?

It doesn't matter which charger I use, at least, apparently. I have a DK39 Sony dock, supplied by Aukey 3.0 Qualcomm fastcharger. All variants have the same result, even laptop USB charging. I didn't use my Sony charger in a while.

First of all, thank you for your efforts lowtraxx. I still love my Z3 tablet and the splitscreen function is a useful addition to the operating system.
It’s not really an issue with your rom itself, but with Android 7 in general. Google changed the way apps can request access to the external SD card. You could just edit a file in /etc/permission in the past, but that way doesn’t work anymore. I’ve only found a workaround using Xposed, which still hasn’t been ported to Android N.
Is there another way to achieve this? I’d like to keep the SD card as an external one, but I don’t think the ComicRack developer (my main usage for this tablet) will update the app anytime soon.
How may I contribute to get this rom running on top of the SGP-612 model (wifi 32gb)? By the way, many thanks for porting CM-14.1 to the Z3TC. This tablet is worth maintaining.

The only difference between the SGP-612 and SGP-611 is the storage so you could try flashing just system and boot without userdata (wipe internal storage and data in recovery first) or even flashing user data and then doing a factory reset if the wrong amount of available storage is shown (that works for nexus factory images) but I'm not sure if that will work.
