Likes:

- Really dig the new blue CM boot animation.
- Choice of launchers.
- ROM usage is way better. To have this tablet have almost 500mb available at times when running is really good.
- You Tube is snappy and sound is great.
- All the Amazon apps work: Amazon Android Market APK, Cloud Drive, Kindle app.
- Movies play great on Netflix, Crackle and Tube Mate as well as playing personal movies with the internal player.
- Downloading works fine.
- Browser is fast and without glitches.
- Some real classy wallpaper choices.

Concerns:

Could not use my VPN (Private Internet Access) I tried updating Binaries through Super User (just to see if it would work.) Same response as last time when no root access could be given. Not sure what the deal is with my VPN. No servers had any latency when I can normally see a percentage amount.

Screen flips in portrait mode (listed known issue.) Just in case folks want to give a full test run before that's patched, the rotating screen does not happen in portrait mode. Also just touching the apps to run them in landscape mode does not rotate the screen.

After tinkering with it for some time, launcher one lost the widget settings and keeps FC to the point it was no longer uasable. Launcher 3 did not have this problem.

It's a dang fine ROM for the first drop. I gave it the best test I could. Thank you for your continuing efforts for our tablets, Hashcode.

Yes, VPN may need some testing.

My findings are similar. I've been using Launcher3 without issue.

Are you using the newest TWRP? 2.6.3.1 here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128848 Maybe try to download from the crackflasher mirror on Hashcodes OP in case goo is having issues. Did you inspect the zip to make sure it downloaded properly? Other than that, make sure to factory swipe when in TWRP first, flash your zip(s) and then wipe CACH/Dalvik (for good measure.) I had no issues at all with the install so thinking the download might have got corrupted.

BuQQzz · Nov 26, 2013

OH MY ... im bout to faint

!! AMAZING Hash.. simply AMAZING... cant thank you enough for this!

The format is important during the install because if you've just swapped to TWRP 2.6.3.1 it will re-initialize the partitions with the xattr's used in SElinux.

CoB_Mike · Nov 27, 2013

I had just swapped to to new TWRP and hadn't rebooted and when I tried to do the install it had said fail. Hard reset and reboot into TWRP again. No issues with the install. Well....that was what I did yesterday morning...before I saw the 11.0......lol time to update again

There seems to be an issue for me with Javascript on the in-app browser. I tried signing into both Facebook and Twitter (via Plume) and both give me an error related to Javascript being disabled/not working. I double-checked the browser settings and Javascript is enabled.

Supranoob · Nov 27, 2013

This version seems to be missing the extra unlock ring options and quick launch shortcuts for the home button. Navigation bar and status bar aren't transparent in the lock screen as well. Other than everything is working fine and 4.4 definitely feels smoother. Good work on the port hashcode!

south956 · Nov 27, 2013

Tried this version and it works awesome, thanks Hashcode and keep up the great work.

Brodal · Nov 27, 2013

I would like to shake your hand in real life. You're my master!

AmrBanawan · Nov 27, 2013

As always, Amazing job Hashcode

My thoughts on 4.4:

- The interface is a lot less customizable than 4.3, No idea why but since this is not a performance issue, I don't really care!
- Feels much snappier while opening apps and changing orientation.
- Noticeably faster than 4.3.
- Lets you set wallpapers however you want, in 4.3 this was a major pain in my ass.
- Not sure if this is a new feature, but in any full screen app swiping from top edge reveals system UI.
- OK GOOGLE!!

Only met 2 bugs so far and it seems that nexus 10 4.4 users too have the same bugs

1- FLAC audio files stutter a bit if the screen is on and stutters LIKE HELL when sleeping! The only workaround i've found so far is to use Poweramp player

2- Stock browser crashes if you open an incognito tab.

What happened to the Expanded Desktop feature?? I was used to not having the navigation bar at the bottom since I use Pie.
