Idk if this info helps but I've been using the stock kernel for the core lte sm-g386w on my avant for weeks now and it hasn't caused any issues. Everything works exactly the same.

Can you post a flashable zip ... I would put one together but I'm currently mobile (visiting family)

I'm on a mobile I can try here in a bit
i wanted to use the g386w kernel as a base for the kernel but idk where i can find the caf-display-new and caf-media-new patches to merge them in to be able to compile the kernel in-line with the cm source.
the back camera is a S5K4ECGX most info im finding is kernel 3.6 and up.

I don't know if I read one of the logs posted on here but one of the modules failed to load. Something along the lines of faceproc
I've been running all these ROMs and recoveries for the Avant on my Core LTE!
The phones are pretty much identical.

Sweet if we really get working on this we might be able to get the camera working and have the drivers for future phones with the same camera

Is there a certain date when this will be finished? Also can someone tell me how to flash this onto my phone. I have TWRP and I also need GApps. Thanks

I seriously doubt that anyone will promise to have this done by a specific date. Building ROMs from source is tricky business and sometimes they never get 100% finished. We all hope that it does get finished soon but all we can do is be patient.

One thing is, please don't ask a dev for a finish date. Most of the devs working on this have lives and other things going on. They do this as a hobby. Now in twrp make a backup of your phone to your external SD card before doing anything, Make sure you have gaps from goo.I'm/gapps/ you will want the ones for 4.4.4 put those and the zips you downloaded from this thread onto your SD card and flash them all in order (Cm11 then the drivers fix, then the gapps)

The ROM zip you need is on post # 617
The patch for video playback is on post # 917
You can get the 4.4.4 gapps HERE
Boot into TWRP, make a full backup on your External SD card, do a factory reset and wipe system, then flash the ROM, then the patch zip, then gapps in that order, and reboot.

When I tried to flash the rom itself I got a blue prompt from TWRP saying " E: Unable to open zip file. " any tips?

Do I have to update my system to Android 4.4.4 to flash this? (I'm on 4.4.2) If yes, then how do I do this if my device status is "custom" in settings. Is there any way to undo this? Or does anyone know where I can get the file for Android 4.4.4 for the Avant?

All you have to do is follow the directions in post #1019

After I installed all the files for the avant in order and rebooted into system I got stuck at the Avant startup logo.
