Cyanogenmod 11 for Fairphone FP1(U) Install guide + experiences

Hey. So far it really works surprisingly well.
*GPS performance actually improved in some situations compared to my 1.6, athough there is still a long way to go… In the thread it is said, that A-GPS doesn’t work and that it is kind of slow.

  • Accessing the file system and sd card via usb cable from my computer somehow doesn’t seem to work after the installation.

  • There are very minor glitches in animations (like turning your phone by 90 degrees) with smaller stripes, but videoplayback via youtube etc. works perfectly well.

  • No crashes, no blackscreens so far…

*Some glitches with the phone app actually disappeared.

  • And the phone seems a bit faster overall and some apps run more smoothly.

Known bugs (according to the thread):

  • 2nd sim card 3G switch
  • Dual SIM is a WIP and has some bugs (data connection instability, etc.)
  • camera for “movies” does not work
  • (hw) video en/decoding not enabled
  • bluetooth not available
  • FM radio not available
  • A-GPS does not work, GPS works though but slowish
  • rest of MTK specifics (what?)

So if you’re not relying on bluetooth and a second sim card, I’d say you can give it a try :wink:
