Would it be possible to provide a stock ROM for restoring our tablets if we were foolish enough to not do a full backup, or is that against the nVidia TOS? I wanted to try this until L was out, but now I can't restore (my developer application to nVidia is pending).

You don't need an account to download the factory image from nvidia. The one for L should be available in the next few days or so along with the aosp source.

Proprietary Apps

Can anyone help me with installing the proprietary apps for this please? I assume its "proprietary_vendor_nvidia" which I'm downloading. Do I install an individual subfolder within the zip? Or the entire zip?

    Will this go official?
    Not yet I haven't worked on this for a while. I planned to work on it this weekend.

    CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.4 (KitKat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.


    Code:
    #include 
    /*
     * Your warranty is now void.
     *
     * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
     * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
     * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
     * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
     * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
     */

    I only have a few issues so far with this ROM (I've been using it as my daily driver for about two weeks now). One, the touchscreen sometimes becomes unresponsive on the lockscreen, which requires me to do a hard reboot (maybe there's a way around this, I don't know). Second, sometimes, and I'm still working out why it does this, the speakers emit a high-pitched robotic noise and the screen freezes. This happened on the stock ROM, but not as often. Don't know if this is my device or the ROM, but is still quite annoying.
    Aside from that, and the few missing nVidia apps, I think this ROM is making great progress, and I hope it get's official support from Cyanogenmod soon :good:

    I'm waiting on L source to come in. There was no point in releasing a new build of 4.4 when 5.0 is coming tomorrow I believe. I'll be checking nvidia git for any repo updates.

    Crap , I forgot to apply the patches. Running build now will be uploaded in about 2 hours.

    * 9/15/14
    Added proprietary Nvidia Apps for power management
    Added support for Long Term Orbits (LTO) LTO Info

    For some reason the apps weren't included so I added a flashable zip may be installed on the previous build if your running it.
