You're a genius.
Why is it so hard to see what works and what doesn't work in CM9 and CM11 for this smartphone?
Especially for you Bugs CM9: Audio routing (Front Speaker and headphones not working)
Video Recording
Encoders (Hantro) - this mostly will never be fixed
Tethering
Flashlight
And CM11 bugs: Tethering Flashlight does not work:
Flashlight
Video Recording
Flashlight
Fm radio
Does not work well:
HW
Videos at a quality higher than 360 are sluggish
Built-in browser does not load images
Microphone does not work in all apps
Charge consumption is not correctly displayed in settings
Keyboard dictionary does not work
Some graphics issues
