Update: ZaJules has created a One step cab fix off these instructions - should make things much easier Read his post here! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1161652&postcount=11
I left the contents of the old post bellow incase people wanted to check the steps but probably the one step install created above will be much easier for most people!
Well after a long bit of searching reading I finally got it to work!!!
This is with a Motorola H700 bluetooth headset though I'm guessing it will work with any compatible headset
thanks to BKbroil's post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1146407&postcount=317) I followed his directions.
it still didn't quite work - after fiddling with the registery a little bit (he didn't include what type of reg entries they needed to be) it finally started working!
Here are the steps I followed:
1. Install VC 1.6 (make sure it is in Main memory)
2. Download Bluetooth Voice Command 0.9f.cab
3. Download BTVoiceCommand.exe
4. On your phone, create the Folder \Program Files\Bluetooth Voice Command
5. Copy BTVoiceCommand.exe into this folder
6. Extract the "Bluetooth Voice Command 0.9f CAB.zip" file, then copy the cab to the phone and run it
7. Create the following Registery Entries:
HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand:
Default - String - (value not set)
LaunchAPEnable - DWord - 1 (decimal)
Path - string - \Program Files\Bluetooth Voice Command\BTVCBasic.exe
VoiceCmdDuration - Dword - 30 (decimal)
VoiceCmdEnable - Dword - 0 (decimal)
and
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway:
BTAGExtModule - string - \Windows\btagext.dll
This last one was already set for me but his directions had it so I included it for you to check
8. Go to newly created BT Voice Command config (in Programs) and tick off the check box "Enabled"
9. Set command duration to 30
10. Save settings and exit
11. Soft reset TyTN
12. Delete Headset Pairing
13. Recreate Headset Pairing.
14. Set button 5 to VoiceCommand
15. Reset Device
Hope this helps people out there!!!
Chy
P.S. - I take no credit for anything here except pulling together everything into one neat place and figuring out the registery entries that worked for me - all the hard work was done by the smart guys in this thread! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=283412
EDIT - attached the files I needed (not including VC 1.6) - they were scattered throughout that other thread and hard to find - thought it would be easier if they were in one place and clarified instructions!
Edit 2 - Here is the Exported Registery entries if it makes it clearer - I understand it the way I wrote it more but I suspect the smart people here will understand this more:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"VoiceCmdEnable"=dword:00000000
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dword:0000001e
"Path"="\\Program Files\\Bluetooth Voice Command\\BTVCBasic.exe"
"LaunchAPEnable"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]
"BTAGExtModule"="\\Windows\\btagext.dll"
hmmm, when i try to enable xcsdm`s hack an unexpected error occurs in btvc config.exe (nullreferenceexception ...).
what is wrong?
Oh I actually had that happen to - then I went to check on the registery settings (which were the next step) and they were not there -I manually edited them and then went back and did that step again and this time it worked fine! Perhaps I should edit the post and reverse those steps (even though that's the order he had them in)
Sorry that I forgot to mention that!
EDIT: I have gone and revised the instructions above to follow my exact steps as opposed to quoting his steps as before then listing my corrections after - I think this makes the directions clearer and easier to follow - if you have any further questions - let me know - I'll do my best to answer!
could you please post what kinds of regvalues have to be created? f.e. dword etc.
thanks

They are there - they were listed down bellow but have since been edited into the post above. However here they are again
HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand
Default - String - (value not set)
LaunchAPEnable - DWord - 1 (decimal)
Path - string - \Program Files\Bluetooth Voice Command\BTVCBasic.exe
VoiceCmdDuration - Dword - 30 (decimal)

and
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway

still no progress, the same error occurs. though values are saved ):

Go over one more time the steps since I've edited them - I just hard reset it and reinstalled following them exactly as stated and following the instructions point by point the way I posted them worked first time no errors!
Is there anyone that would be kind enough to make a cab that creates the registry settings?
I must be doing something wrong because the registry ones I keep making aren't working..
VERY Helpful!
@chymmylt: Super job - thanks for making this so much easier!

Can you clarify step 10
OK here is a one step cab to fix Voice Command 1.6
Please test it and let me know if there are any problems
Instructions:
Install Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 (Duh)
Copy this cab file to your device and tap to install.
Then go to Start > Programs > BT Voice Command Config
and tick enable.
Tap "Save"
Tap "Exit"
Go to bluetooth devices and remove your headset.
Power off your Device (Hold the power button till it asks to shut down)
Restart device.
Re pair your headset.
make sure button 5 is set to Voice Command (Settings > Buttons)
Reset Device.
This works perfectly on my device.
Credit to all the brains on XDA-Devs (you know who you are). This is not my work I only packaged it for easy install.
Jules
Just tried and when I click save I get a
An unexpected error has occured in BTVC Config.exe
Select quit and then restart this program, or select details for more information.

Good work! I'm not good at creating installers but I figured it wouldn't be long before somebody compiled it into an easy installer!
@ZaJules and chymmylt
I just tried the cab along with your instructions and it worked like a charm. Excellent and great work to all that were involved.
I don't understand why the program crashes for me but works for others..
Mine is on a fresh install of .20 ROM with VC 1.6 and my exchange server and thats all I have done..
Hmmm.. Not sure. as I said, I didn't write any of these files, I just read through this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=283412 and pulled together everything I did into a single post to try to make it easier for people. It seems to be working for a number of people but there are a few people that it is not working for.
Did you install VC to your voice or your storage card - everything I've read said not to install it to your storage card - install it to your device - you might check that. If you installed through Zajules cab, try looking through my instructions and check that everything checks out. I'd also try reading through the forum above and see if anything strikes you.
I've seen reports of it working on an 8525 and I have a TyTN (And I suspect it should work on any hermes hardware). I have the 1.34 radio rom though I don't know if that should make any differnce (It might - Bluetooth is controlled by the radio - I really have no idea if that would help and hate to suggest anything that could brick a device - just brainstorming here). I don't have exchange installed so I couldn't say if that has anything to do with it.
Out of curiosty, when you run \Program Files\Bluetooth Voice Command\BTVCBasic.exe manually does it work?
Yes everything is installed to device and that file you asked me about launches the VC for me to input something..
I have tried to add the registry settings but I am very clueless and they aren't coming out right..
Okay I looked and
HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand
Default - String - (value not set)
LaunchAPEnable - DWord - 1 (decimal)
Path - string - \Program Files\Bluetooth Voice Command\BTVCBasic.exe
VoiceCmdDuration - Dword - 30 (decimal)
VoiceCmdEnable - Dword - 0 (decimal)
This entire string is missing..Heck the whole folder VoiceCommand is missing and I can't for the life of me figure out the correct way to add it..
Ok finally figured out how to make the registry keys that are missing so now the applicationlaunches with no error and all the registry settings match but it still won't launch when I press the headset button.
It has worked before WM6 so I know my headset works..
Man If I could just get this going its all I need.. :-(
This will officially not work for 1.1
What it does:
Enables ADB via uRamdisk
Installs su and Superuser.apk
Installs Busybox
Installs Button Savior
Installs Go Launcher
Installs NookColor Tools (To Enable Non-Market Installs)
Installs Gapps (Gmail, Market, Youtube, Others)
System Files that get Modified:
/system/build.prop - Enabling Google Check In
packages.xml - Allows Gapps to install properly.
framework.jar - Should allow a proper Android ID to generate.
Changes:
June 24, 2011 -
Removed: Multitouch Permission
Added: Modified framework.jar
June 22, 2011 - Fixed: Script not running at boot.
June 20, 2011 - Initial Release
Before you begin:
You must already have a registered Nook Simple Touch
You must have a Gmail/Youtube linked Account. IF you used a Gmail account for B&N Registration you should use that one for this process.
You must either have dd (Linux) or WinImage (Windows) software.
You must have an external microSDCard reader or this will not work. Do NOT use the Nook Simple Touch.
You must have enough intelligence to follow instructions.
Let's get started:
Download TouchNooter from here: touchnooter-1-6-24.zip
Linux: Unzip and use dd if=touchnooter-1-6-24.img of=/dev/sdcard
Windows: Unzip and use WinImage to "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image" to your SDcard.
Windows Alternative: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download
Power off your Nook Simple Touch.
Insert TouchNooter SDcard into your Nook Simple Touch.
Power on your Nook Simple Touch.
You should see the screen "Rooted Forever".
It will boot like normal and you should be asked to select a launcher now. (If not use Button Savior to go home. This will bring up the launcher chooser.)
That was the hard part, now to the simple stuff.
Upon boot unlock your screen.
At the Android Welcome Screen skip Sign In.
Enable Location Services when given the option.
Connect to Wifi and launch Youtube from Go Launcher's App Drawer (Or the App Drawer of your Choice).
Click the Menu button (The right one in the middle of the status bar).
Select "My Channel" and Login using your Gmail Account.
Exit Youtube and Launch Gmail from "Extras".
Sync your Gmail Account and Exit. (If it fails to sync that is fine.)
Open up Market and Accept Terms and Service.
If you made it this far your nook should be successfully Rooted. Go Download an App to make sure.
Enable Non-Market Installs by running the NookColor Tools App.
If your Youtube fails to launch Uninstall and Reinstall Youtube from /data/app
Go to Settings > Device Info > SdCard > UnMount > Format
Thanks To:
Arnold Snarb - modified framework.jar
nemith - helping me figure out getting it to run at boot.
JesusFreke - For getting root.
MrMuffin - For the original Market Hack that we're using.
Currently Working On: TouchNooter 1.11.x
I've probably screwed up, but perhaps not too badly. Tried to follow all the steps and got the system files copied to media, and then to replace the main system files, but there I got confused. I ended up rebooting without attempting to install the youtube app, which I didn't find in the download. Even now, a lot looks like it is working, but I can't even attempt to sign in to google cause I can't get a keyboard to come up to allow me to enter my user name and password. Is there any help for me, or am I a total dunce needing to start over? thanks!
EDIT: I see I am screwed -- no keyboard is coming up for me anywhere. I guess I can go through a major reset but if anyone has a suggestion to just get the keyboard back I will appreciate it.
EDIT2: Well I got past that, simply chose multitouch keyboard instead of Gingerbread in NookColor Tools.
EDIT3: But now I am stuck again as I can't sign in to a google account... says can't establish a reliable data connection to the server, even though my wifi is fine. But at least at the moment everything else is fine, though the keyboard isn't working very well (but it does work; lots of ghosting)
An .img file is being uploaded for TouchNooter 1.6.20 It'll do all the copy and edit stuff, the only thing it can't do is create an android ID.
In the "GappsAndMore" there was some keyboards which were from the NC it was just a raw pull from AN. This is more refined with things that could cause issues removed. (Like Keyboards, Framework.jars from the NC, etc.)

I'd suggest a wipe and running TouchNooter... GappsAndMore had Keyboards and stuff in it and removed the stock keyboard =\
is a wipe in the nook touch holding down the power for 20 seconds?
No you need to do a complete wipe by triggering recovery, but I don't know how to trigger recovery yet.
oh well the perils of early adoption. I'll follow the thread with anticipation!

You could try 8 failed boots. Basically you power it on and then power it off before it fully boots. Do that 8 times and it might trigger recovery.
Confirmed this works great. I'm going to find a fix for the calendar.

This doesn't seem to work for me at all... I tried restoring the backup image and starting from scratch and it still will not work. I tried enabling Google Apps manually and it won't work for me either.
I think I'm done, if the 7th time wasn't the charm then I'm giving up for now...

I did a reset of the device back to the out of the box experience, registered with my BN account, shut down and followed the directions to the letter. I had no luck at all. It just shows the Rooted Forever screen, then boots normally is if nothing happened.
Sorry Guys and Gals. Entirely my fault. It seems a combination of my own forgetfulness and bad scripting (I forgot proper codes and methods used in AN) caused this just to do nothing. I'm uploading a version as I'm typing this and will remove "BROKEN" from the title when it's up.
Still broken. init.rc isn't running it's script properly.
Script can be ran manually with:
Code:
adb shell sh /sdcard/nooter/tmp/scripts/Nooter
Will be working on getting it to trigger properly
This is a support thread for the ROM posted here.

I make all wipe data/cache and even Dalvik cache before and after install CM7 - but I stuck on the android boot screen.
But note: I made all wipes from CWM, because stock recovery is not works on my phone (only green robot and yellow triangle and that's all - nothing key works, only pull battery helps).

How can I make this (run logcat)?
Thanks for the advices.
Im not sure the clear data/cache works right in CWM. I have not tested it. To access the menu in the stock recovery hit the Home key.
To output a logcat open a command prompt and run "adb logcat"
If you want to output it to a file use "adb logcat > filename.txt"
so there is some querrys:
- torch app does not work as a flashlight, while it stay in status bar and even task killer wont help
- led notification light does not work at all, i guess there is no app for that and original is missing
- it wont unlock sim card, or lock it while it's unlocked. message is "incorrect pin". previously unlocked on other phone sim works fine. pin correct.
- the reboot menu list wont operate with joystick, only touch.
- both cameras wont work in skype, when forced induce crash.
- dev tools options become a force close
- voice dialer started by long press call button opens in wrong screen orientation and does not work. it work if started from all apps.
- superuser does not ask about allowing su permissions, there is no app listed as allowed su perm. while all super su apps works fine as usual.
- yandex maps app issue. rendering map result is quite not what it should be
I did it! Thanks for stock recovery main key (Home) .
And now some my notes (first, I use Russian language and CM7 has it).
- torch app doesn't work - this right for me too;
- about led - not work too;
- about sim - not check this yet;
- the reboot menu OPERATE for me with D-Pad;
- I don't use Skype;
- dev tools work in full for me;
- all correct about voice dialer;
- it's right too;
- don't install yandex maps yet.

was't been working for me too, but first reboot solved it
a lot of apps that uses the hardware gpu does not work properly, i guess this is same as camera driver problem and it can't be resolved till motorola releases it freely(only if)
also i am having issue with call ringtone - it rings for fraction of a second and then goes silent
I missed some egl librarires in the build, copying the attached files to /system/lib/egl should correct some of the graphic issues.

Hello, this is my first time posting here. I was having some trouble with the touch screen not being responsive enough, sometimes missing my taps. So I installed this mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347009&page=3
Not only did it not appear to change anything, after rebooting I found that my menu and back button no longer vibrate like they should (yes vibration is on in settings) and my q-button no longer does anything. And my home key does not turn the screen on now either. This has to be a simple key configuration change but someone please help me fix this issue Oh also I have the at&t version of the phone if that makes a difference.
Edit: I have found more information about this problem. One being that the mod I spoke of only changes the usr folder of the system folder which contains the key mappings gk-keypad-8064.kl file. I tested and trying to change the QuickButton command in the settings no longer affects this key mappings file as I believe it should. So somehow it either can't find the file (even though it's there) or thinks that the file is corrupt. So is there anyone who has the stock gk-keypad-8064.kl file I can use? Or maybe there should be different permission settings other that rw r r? Please let me know as I think this is the main problem here.

How about you try to flash back to the stock rom using the lg flash tool?
I fixed it with a work around. I used exposed additions to force haptic feedback and also to map the q button key. Hopefully if anyone else has this problem it will help them.
[ NO LONGER ACTIVELY BEING DEVELOPED - SORRY, READ THE POSTS FOR INFORMATION ]
Yes, you read that right. What we have here is a semi-functional CM11 (Kit Kat 4.4.4) for those with the locked boot loader using Safe Strap. I have been working on this for about a month, and this is what has come of that work. However, I need some help. I am not Android savvy enough to fix all of these problems to make this a fully functioning phone.
That being said, the phone does boot up and appears to mostly work. At this time, it is not a stable daily driver.
I did search all the threads, and I believe that this is not covered in another thread, so please forgive me if there is another CM11 thread that is for SS users on AT&T's locked boot loader phones. I don't see any.
How I got here:
Well, I wanted Cyanogenmod on my AT&T locked boot loader Safe Strapped phone. Every thread says we can't do that, and I just don't like hearing people tell me we can't do something and not provide any reasons. So I decided to try for myself. For the most part, they are right, but with enough perseverance, anything could happen.
I wanted to still use my phone as my daily driver, so I needed SafeStrap to work without having to bounce between kernels.
I was currently using Safe Strap with the NB1/NC1 kernels, and running Joe-Tech's GPE 4.4.4, so I decided that I should start with a 4.4.4 variant of CM, which lead me to CM11. I tried all of them, the nightlies, the home builds, the official builds, and I stumbled across one particular CM11 nightly (20151115) that would boot and then crash as soon as it booted. So I decided to use that as a base.
Reviewing the situation/logs/errors after each crash, I slowly removed, edited, or replaced something until it would not receive that error and would move on to the next error. By the grace of God it was slowly coming together! Hence why the built in camera app is gone and replaced with open camera, etc.
If we get this working, we may be able to use these hacks or tricks to get higher versions such as CM12 or perhaps (fingers crossed) CM13. I know this is kind of lofty, but perhaps we could get something going here. Once we identify the key problems, perhaps we can also apply these tricks to other AOSP variants, such as Slim Roms.
However, let's stick to putting one foot in front of the other right now and focus on CM11.
The Setup:
AT&T boot loader locked phone with NB1/NC1 kernel and modules flashed.
Safe Strap 3.75, currently using Rom Slot 1 for this, as my daily driver is on the stock slot, however I have done it both ways, and it works either way.
Download the below CM11 zip and put it on your phone.
In Safe Strap, choose stock or rom slot, then wipe and flash the CM11 zip.
After flashing the zip, flash the wifi modules for your kernel.
Once it boots:
Go to the settings->about phone->tap on build to enable developer mode.
Then, in developer menu, choose "Disable HW overlays" to always use GPU for screen compositing. (To improve graphics performance, you may find playing with the other graphics options help also.)
Then disable the lock screen by changing "slide" to "none" (To prevent sleep of death until we fix it.) Thanks @Sterben Pistole
Temporary Root:
Simply open the KingoRoot app and click on the padlock. This will take roughly 3-5 minutes, but it will successfully give you root permissions. After reboot, root permission will be lost, but you can simply open KingoRoot and give yourself root permissions again.

Check the following posts for issues and known working items. If you have an idea of how to solve the item, the best thing to do would be to download this CM11 and try it out. If you can't do that, or if you did and found a solution, just post your thoughts/trials/2 cents here in the forum and we can hopefully integrate it into the final product!

Beta testers: @DeadlySin9
Huge special thanks to @jmsq and @Joe-Tech for permission to use things we need from their GPE roms!
Known problems
Here is a list of the Known issues:
SYSTEM:
-USB - MTP, UMS, and PTP are not currently working properly. The PTP may be working, but my Linux computer cannot connect to it. The UMS will not mount. The MTP says the connection is taking too long and resets (on my computer).
-Sleep of Death - Lock screen causes sleep of death and reboot errors. Must disable the lock screen to prevent this. Thanks @Sterben Pistole !
-Mounting external SD card - Currently the extSdCard is mounted, however it requires root privileges to use it.
-SU - Currently, @Sterben Pistole has found a SU temporary work around, however, it is lost on reboot.
-GPS - Not currently functioning.
-APN settings - Since that portion of the settings crashes, I thought we could edit the xml file directly and set a default option for the carrier of choice. Not ideal, but perhaps a good work around?
-TeleService.apk has been removed, it causes too many crashes, this apk is really important for phone calls/radio control, so this would really need to be replaced.
APPS:
-GPS Status - The app works, but GPS does not appear to be functioning.
-Messaging - Crashes when you open it. I think due to settings issue with connectivity to network.
-Settings - Mostly works, a few settings options cause it to crash, most importantly, the mobile network settings for APN's etc. crashes.
-Torch - Torch apk does not function at this time. Found that during CM kernel init, changes are made to facilitate the torch.apk, which are not done by the stock kernel init. However, it is possible that these could be written in as a init.d script.
Known Working
Here is a list of the known working:
SYSTEM:
-ADB - Fully functional.
-Audio - Makes sounds when you tap on buttons, appears to work fine.
-Bluetooth - Fully functional, used it to tether internet to use the browser, worked great.
-Bootlogo - Fully functional.
-Bootup - Boots all the way up the first time.
-Camera - Fully functional.
-External SD Card - Currently mounts, but requires super user privileges to use it.
-Internal Storage - Fully functional.
-Themes - @Sterben Pistole has verrified that different themes work.
-Wifi - Remember to flash your modules in SS! Thanks @Sterben Pistole
APPS:
-Apollo - Works great.
-Browser - Works great when you have an active network connection.
-Calculator - Works great.
-Calendar - Works great.
-Camera - Works great. Thanks @Sterben Pistole
-Clock - Works great.

-DSP Manager - Appears to work.
-Email - Appears to work.
-Gallery - Works great!
-Movie Studio - Appears to work.
-People - Appears to work.
-Phone - Appears to work, but due to a settings issue with setting the carrier, I could not connect to make a phone call.
-Terminal Emulator - Works great.
-Voice Dialer - App opens, don't know if it works as I did not add my contacts.
Change log
Code:
3/26/16
-New QCOM script testing download link CM11-20160326-SS.zip
-Removed two of the scripts, the BT, and the BTDUN scripts. Those two scripts cause the Bluetooth to fail. Now the bluetooth works just as it did before the scripts were added.
3/24/16
-Alternate CM11-20160324-QCOMSCRIPTS-SS.zip download link
-Our NB1/NC1 kernel will need certain settings, services, and scripts run to be fully functional in regards to the hardware. Our kernel, through init, was calling for several qcom shells that did not exist. They have been added into this zip. Although it does not immediately solve any issues, it may be worth trying some of the things in these scripts, thus the original 20160322 zip is still available for download.
3/22/16
-New CM11-20160322-SS.zip download link
-Removed /recovery, boot.img, and file_context from zip as well as from updater-script. This makes it smaller and quicker to flash to your phone.
-Removed Loki script from installation script, as we do not need it on SS.
3/16/16
-New CM11-20160316-SS.zip download link
-External SD card now is auto mounted to /storage/extSdCard, however, it requires super user permission to use it.
-Dropped UltraExplorer and added ES File Manager for maintenance tools. Not intended for final product.
3/15/16
-New CM11-20160315-SS.zip download link
-Added Kingoroot for simpler one click rooting, root is still temporary.
(We had already achieved temporary root, but it was more complicated to activate than this. Kingoroot can re-root after restarting your phone.)
3/14/16
-New CM11-20160314-SS.zip download link
-Subtle changes in build.prop, fixed model # in about phone.
-Added TowelRoot, UltraExplorer, and Pushbullet for maintenance tools. Not intended for final product.
3/13/16
-New CM11-20160313-SS.zip download link.
-Camera2.apk fixed, open camera removed. Thanks [user=6053184]@Sterben Pistole[/user]
-CM File Manager fixed, removed ES File explorer.
3/12/16
-New CM11-20160312-SS.zip download link.
-WiFi Fixed, be sure to flash the appropriate modules in SS! Thanks [user=6053184]@Sterben Pistole[/user] !
3/11/16
-New CM11-20160311-AKLU-SS.zip download link with fix for internal phone memory "sdcard" mounting with SS.
-Sleep of death and reboot error workaround - Thanks [user=6053184]@Sterben Pistole[/user]
- Disable the lock screen to prevent sleep of death and to allow future reboots. We will want to disable or fix the lock screen function, but the workaround allows us to continue working at this time!
3/10/16
-Uploaded to XDA for assistance from other members and to share what has been done so far.
2/26/16
-Created new boot animation reflecting SS and CM.
2/24/16
-Removed Torch.apk, camera.apk, camera2.apk due to issues.
-Added OpenCamera - works great, and you can choose where to save pics.
-Added /system/lib/modules, but still cannot insmod them, due to no root permission.
-Tried Kingroot, will not root without internet connection, used bluetooth tether, but it did not recognize internet connection, even though browser worked online.
-Tried SuperSU, but it cannot update the binary.
2/23/16
-Removed teleservices.apk from /system/priv-app due to issues.
-Edited build.prop
-Now the crrashing has stopped, however we cannot use data or make phone calls without teleservices.apk. Perhaps we can steal it from another rom?
-Camera app crashes when accessing the camera.
-Settings sometimes crash.
-File manager could not find any storage devices, internal or external. Replacd with ES File Manager and now can see all files in mounted partitions.
-sdcard and extSdCard are not mounted at boot. Write script to do that?
-GPU needed set to no HW overlays in dev. options to prevent graphics errors/tearing.
-Bluetooth tests sat! :)
2/22/16
-Installed CM11 nightly through SS, but it constantly crashes.
I'm going to be experimenting with your build as I've started working on the same type of project as of last week. I'm going to see what I can do to fix a couple of the crashes and report back to you.
EDIT: TO ALL, IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING DO NOT INSTALL THIS. IT IS NOT A DAILY DRIVER AT ALL.
EDIT 2: As I suspected, if you go into the settings and disable the lockscreen it won't go into the sleep of death.
Wow, this looks great! I'd love to help with this if I can.
Rebooting works flawlessly if you turn off the lock screen. As for the internal and external storage not mounting properly, you need a wrapper script for that. I think @jmsq made one a while ago, but he's not active anymore.

Tested, works great! Updated thread! Great work!
Now we should replace or fix the lock screen. At least now we know what the problem was. Great insight!

Evant28,
You bet, if you can, download the files and play around with it. Let us know if you find any way to fix anything and we'll put it to work.

Great find on the disabled lock screen allowing reboots! I've added it to the instructions after booting up the first time. I am breaking down @jmsq GPE 4.4.3 rom to look at the script. I've also pm'd to ask their permission.
To be fair, some of those people saying it wasn't possible did specify that it would require plenty of work that most people don't want to/can't do. Kitkat probably is the best option since we did get those GPE's working though, and I certainly applaud your efforts. I'm no developer myself or I'd help out, but I think a good way to get some things working since we can't change the kernel is to try and build and load modules for it using bypasslkm. I don't know the viability of that, but I know at least for the storage issue I've seen a case where a module was loaded in order to allow mounting.

Does BypassLKM work on 4.4.2? I know it works on 4.3, because that's what it was built for, but if it does it would definitely help a good bit.
Mounting of sdcard fixed.

Internal phone storage "sdcard" mounting is fixed, new download link in OP. Turns out SS roms use a special sdcard mounting script. Thanks for the suggestions though, we need all the help we can get!
Wow great progress! I'll be installing as soon as I get home. Now that internal storage is fixed does WiFi work?

Not at the moment. Even if Wi-Fi was working this would still be far off from being a stable daily driver. I'll post an update if I figure something out.
EDIT: WIFI IS NOW UP AND RUNNING! Modules are needed as always.
EDIT 2: Uploading build with working Wi-Fi as I am typing this. I have slow Wi-Fi so it'll be a while ;-;
EDIT 3: Got root working, but it's not out of the box. You need to flash SU in Safestrap right after modules, download towelroot, make it rain, and then install SU binary's from SU app.
EDIT 4: Root is only temporary. After a reboot it disappears. Also, theme's work great

I'm pretty sure someone got it working while everyone was looking into getting a working kexec module. I'll see if I can't find a link somewhere.
EDIT: Still searching, but there are also directions on how to point it to the right address and compile it in the bypasslkm thread. Surge1223 built one for 4.4.2, but it's for verizon NC5 and I haven't found the link yet just found it here.
