Finally CM 11 aka Cyanogenmod 11 Rom for Qmobile has been successfully ported by INCPak Team member, after this Syed Ahmed Ali Shah enters in Hall of Fame :) The Fastest Rom Porter in the world, Only INCPak Team mates knows the furious speed of Ahmed Ali Shah Sahab.
QMobile Noir i9 gets CM 11 but there’s one issue, Only One sim supported. I am sure Ahmed Ali Shah Sahab will try his best to fix this bug and we’ll update it over here. For Now check out the screenshots of Cyanogenmod 11 Rom for QMobile Noir i9.
My Personal Experience using CM 11 Rom for QMobile Noir i9 :-
It lags a bit, Phone gets heat up even on normal usage, battery drains, Video Recording don’t work while camera snaps are working, GPS having issue locating place, although the interface is good and but there are bugs in this rom, when I flashed this rom, first thing I needed was Gapps which Ahmed Ali Shah provided after which I was able to access Google play store. Dual sim issue is fixed but I was using on single sim so don’t know about it exactly.
you may try it out it worth trying but I woudn’t suggest you to stick up on CM 11 due to these bugs, specially heatup and video recording.
