How to install Cyanogenmod 11 on the Micromax Canvas A1

We all love Cyanogenmod and Developers on XDA always work hard on porting the ROM to the latest Android Devices, it appears that this also includes Android One devices as XDA user Varun.chitre15  has just been ported Cyanogenmod 11 to the Micromax Canvas A1. 

The CM11 port is still in early stages but is very stable and should be no issue when used as a daily driver, the only main 2 issues are that the second SIM card doesn’t work or the WIFI, other then that everything should work fine.
