Hello Everyone, in this article i’m talking about how to install kitkat 4.4 on android devices with CyanogenMod 11. CyanogenMod is an open source operating system for smartphones and tablet computers, based on the Android mobile platform. It is developed as free and open source software based on the official releases of Android by Google, with added original and third-party code. CyanogenMod releases are provided on a nightly, milestone, and “stable version” schedule. I’ve been running CM 11(kitkat 4.4) for a couple of months now and have been very impressed. Now, you can get the same KitKat (CM 11) experience on the aging but still wonderful . Here’s how to do it.
Warning:
The installation of custom ROMs is risky, so if you do not follow the procedure properly, you can end up with an unusable phone. Back up all your data first, charge your battery and proceed with caution. Neither “HelperTricks Team” nor myself will be held responsible for any damage done to your phone as a result of this process.

Rooted Android Phone and remember to backup of your android system
You should also backup your app data too as this process will wipe your device.
Downloads:
Download the latest CM 11 for your Android Device form Official Site of CyanogenMod. As always, there’s nothing preventing you from flashing a newer version, once it is available.
Also download the Google applications package for KitKat: gapps-kk
