OK so far running good just a few issues. No gesture typing on aosp keyboard. No sound tile other than that seems like a solid running ROM. Thanks Codename glad to have you back loved your work back in early jb days can't wait to see how this turns out.

In the past when gesture typing hasn't worked for me it's been the gapps package I used

I have now had 2 random freeze ups that required battery pulls. Was using askp grande kernel. Have switched to fancy to see if that helps.

Gesture typing has worked on multiple roms with the gapps package I'm using, but it doesn't on this one. Other than that, this is running great.

Gesture typing isn't even an option when I checked it, but having proper data hand-off is what's keeping me on this rom. All the features that I want are here and I don't have to run CM. Happy days.

Also, there doesn't seem to be a toggle to show data activity in the status bar. Not sure if that was a feature added in, but as long as mobile data works I'm happy.

Edit: And of course I spoke too soon. Data switched from Wifi, to 4g, to 3g the first time, then never worked again after that. My problem so far with every KK rom is I can switch from Wifi to 4g, but never to 3g. Have to reboot with the radio forced on 3g for 3g data to work.

Welcome back!

It's been a long time and you've been missed. Thanks for giving my Gnex life again. I'll be flashing this as soon as I get home from work!

Almost positive it is an added feature. Only way to see data activity in KitKat is to pull down quick settings. Unless the option is added into a ROM.

Since switching to fancy kernel, I have had one random freeze when trying to open the Google dialer. Dunno if its the dialers fault since I had to flash it or if its the ROM. When I was running askp kernel, the freezes came when doing random stuff.

The last freeze was a few hours ago. Hopefully its ironed itself out as everything else is great!

Spoke too soon. Another issue with lockscreen not unlocking unless I click on one of my dashclock widgets. Also, and the deal breaker for me, getting some serious random glitches with apps. Take a peak

Guess it didn't save my screenshot of tapatalk doing something similar. Hope it gets all ironed out cause I'd love to come back to this ROM.

I've not had any issues and I've surfed the web, watched flash videos on dolphin browser, and played a couple games at lunch break.
Running mpokang sr with slimbean 4.4.2 minimal gapps.
Also, I had to umount /system to get it to flash due to symlink failure, but flashed fine after unmounting.

Alright so I saw Superuser in "Other Tools", can anyone confirm that this means SU is built into the rom like CM and PA?

Thanks, I think I'm gonna give this one a try, seeing as it's been confirmed to work with Mpokang SuperRam. :D

You won't regret it. No issues with it here. So happy to have pie back! I didn't miss it as much with the new immersive mode, but I love being able to just swipe my thumb from the right and having all my buttons right there!

Hmmm, where exactly are you getting PIE from? I have HALO enabled but I see no section for PIE.

Also, any idea if Codnamedroid plans on adding theme-chooser to this rom? Honestly I'm digging it so far, really the only thing I would like to see is Theme-chooser added and a volume settings option in quicksettings.

    I've been using your settings on a couple different kernels - What are they optimized for? Speed, battery or a combination of both?
    If not for battery, what would you change to make it/them the most battery efficient? I jumped from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 and it seems like the battery is mildly worse, I was wondering (hoping) you have "performance" settings listed...

    Would the color settings change the battery life?

    I am currently using Mpokang SuperRam Kernel with my settings on LiquidSmooth 3.0 and my battery life is fantastic! My settings are adjusted for an optimal balance of performance and battery life. You can always lower the max cpu frequency for a slight battery bump but I found it's not that substantial.

    As for color settings, nope, they won't affect battery. Screen brightness will though. With my color settings I use 50% brightness and the screen still looks great.

    I don't want to further derail this thread so if you need anymore help drop by my kernel settings thread here on XDA or my G+ Community, links to both can be found in my signature. ;)

    Download link broken and where do I get gapps from?
    Good riddance to CNA and its creator. Better off without it.
