Update Galaxy S Advance to 4.4.2 Kitkat

Android 4.4.2 Kitkat S Advance
Galaxy S Advance user now can enjoy the sensation of having Android 4.4.2 Kitkat on their devices, although this is not the official one. It is still a good ROM to try if you wanted to have Android 4.4.2 Kitkat on your device. The ROM is called CyanogenMod 11 created by maclaw.
Maclaw fixed the bugs that can be found in the previous build, including the camera preview fix. This ROM also comes with minor audio improvement. The only bugs that I can found in the latest build is the Wifi failed to start, so you need to restart your phone if you want to start the Wifi again.

Features :

  • CM11 Functionality
  • Youtube HQ
  • Triple Buffering
  • Back Light Notification
  • Wi-fi
  • External Storage
  • 2D/3D Hardware Acceleration
