Root [15/9/2014] Cm11.0 / Kitkat 4.4.4 [3.X kernel]

I believe this release warrants a new thread as there are tons of changes from my previous buggy builds and uses a completely different kernel.

If this is your main phone, please back up before continuing!

Bugs:
Camcorder (records, but format is screwed up)
Video playback.
Probably GPS (need to switch to prebuilt drivers)
Memory leak somewhere causing massive slowdown/blank screen randomly (possibly panel) (Solution possibly found; missing IRQ entry in kernel?)

Gapps: [GAPPS][4.4.x] OFFICIAL Up-to-Date PA-GOOGLE
ROM: cm-11-20150114-UNOFFICIAL-lexikon.zip

@jianC please look at the vpn issue configure it with tun.ko. Please there are some applications that I can't use on this cm11.the one you build last year. Also solve the normal phone browser not showing (just showing black) problem. Vpn is not communicating on this rom at all (cm11 2013). You test the vpn with opera max and featvpn if it communicate

Arghh, so many issues :S. Thanks for being my guinea pig lol.. I am currently in the process of rebasing the merge board files off vivo (instead of basing off evervolv's layout), so more issuse should be fixed in next release. I have tested VPN with a 3rd party app (Cisco Anyconnect) and it does not work. I don't know about system vpn settings though.

I just finished testing the VPN now with opera max it didn't work. Please fix it in the next update. Test the VPN with featvpn and opera max.

I've tested the vpn this Afternoon both the system and third party application didn't work. Please fix it in the next update. Fix it with tun.ko

tun is already built into kernel, and 4.4+ kernel configurations are moving away from building drivers as modules so there is no explicit "tun.ko" in /system/lib/modules or when you do cat /proc/modules. I will see what's happening with the VPN/ram/freezing issue, but it is more than likely because of me forgetting some power management stuff in kernel (with regards to freezing). Should be fixed in the next update, but there is nothing set in stone yet.

Edit: VPN issue may actually just a permissions issue with tun procfs.. should be resolved in next update :)

Thanks for the development, I may flash this over the decent MIUI when I have the time.
