Hey guys update is here finally Check the OP and blog site and waiting for feed backs

Ugh, I'm not sure If I love you or hate you. Haha I just finished flashing Jedi X17 and finished setting everything up, then you drop this on me. Like what even! Hahaha I've been hanging to try this though, so I'm going to give it a shot! :D

Okay so I've flashed but it seems that Root is broken. Everything else works like a charm, but sadly for me, Root was broken.

Rom flashed just fine, and I LOVE the new animations, and just how slick everything looks and feels. BIG props there. However, I can't get root access. Root is broken sadly. :( I've reflashed the ROM a few times now, and same thing. :( This makes me sad. But Brilliant work on it. For an Alpha, it sure feels damn amazing!

Okay, So i've run this now for a better part of a full night, and yes, I haven't slept I've just been playing around with the Rom. >__>

I must say, of all the 4.3 Roms, this is the slickest, smoothest and most damn stable. I've not yet come across a random Reboot like other 4.3 roms.

The amount of cusomization is just through the roof too. Considering it does not yet have PIE control and a few other small things, this is still so feature packed it's not funny. I thought I would miss pie, but I honestly don't. LMT launcher or Pie Control can fill those areas just nicely.

Some little things I have noticed though. Using messaging in Halo, does not allow to send MMS messages like other Roms. I couldn't do this in Illusion 4.2.2 either. Once the clock in the status bar froze, but that was after doing some status bar tweaks. Gesture Lock isn't available yet. It's a feature I personally like, and SMS cusimatizion isn't there yet either, and couple of force closes in settings have happened.

So, very minor Gripes. Very minor.

I'm going to run this as my daily driver for sure. SMS works fine. Audio is fine. Installing the modded version of Xposed worked just great too. LED notifications work great. Can't comment on battery life yet, but I will edit this once I've run it for a few days. Snapchat video FINALLY works on this Rom. It could never record a full 10 second video on any other 4.2.2 or 4.3 Rom before, so bonus props there.

Seriously, TRY THIS OUT!!!! Just keep in mind if coming from a touchwiz Rom like I did, flashing this will completely delete your internal memory. So back it up. I didn't. I was just lucky all my photo's got backed up on Dropbox.

Brilliant work. Just Brilliant work. This ROM is the BOMB!:cool::D:good::good::good::good::good::good::victory::eek::cowboy:

Edit: Pie does work. I just didn't look hard enough. Loving this ROM so much. Must also report that Battery life is really nice on this. Ran it for 8 hours straight, with lots of messaging and browsing on through the play store and net, with WiFi and 3G and got it down to 70%. So very nicely done. Didn't do anything to change the kernel, but was running Greenify.

Only thing I have noticed to be a slight bug, is that opening messaging in Halo, will take you out of whatever app you are currently in, but not always. Still no random reboots and that's just awesome. :D

Does this ROM has the graphic glitches as many other 4.3 ROMs have or is it fixed after the open source drivers were released?
Pardon my english.

No. Sadly there are still some glitches. I have found them not as noticiable, but they are still there. Keep in mind this is still an Alpha release. It will only get better.

The minute hybrid settings or lcd density settings etc are done I'm gonna send you a donation. I only have one device, perhaps when the Note 3 comes I could consider, but then please get PA settings working. Great rom. Always liked your work.

I would just like to report a potential bug, that others may encounter.

After a day of usage, I wasn't able to recieve MMS messages anymore. It would keep saying that the file download had failed. I went into recovery and wiped cache, and Dalvik, and also fixed permissions. This fixed the MMS issue, but somehow broke the stock lock screen, as it would no longer work no matter which one I tried.

In the meantime I nearly killed my phone flashing another ROM, but I got Illusion back up and running again so all was well. Again another day went by and MMS didn't want to work. Again fixing permissions and clearing cache and dalvik fixed it. And this time with no loss of the lock screen.

Not sure why this happened, but anyone else experiences it, this is one workaround.

Loving this Rom so much, it's not even funny. Brilliant work!

So I've been using the 4.3 alpha since release and I've got to say, It's still the smoothest 4.3 Experience I've had. However, there is one bug that does seem to be a hassle after a while. It seems that I can't keep MMS messages onto a conversation thread after a little while, otherwise messaging will force close. I can open up any other thread that doesn't have an MMS message in it, or has the MMS pushed further up the conversation theread or it will force close.

Work around is obviously Save the MMS straight away and then delete it, or as stated above you can fix permissions. Using another SMS app usually stops this from happening but I do prefer to use the Stock SMS app. Another bug is that when you receive a message an open it up in Halo, it will exit out of of whatever app you are in. A work around to this is to Pin SMS to Halo and when you do get a new SMS don't open it, but the SMS app and all should be okay.

They are not big bugs, because there are work arounds to them. But I thought it would be good to point them to help out others that have the problem.

Still an amazing experience to use. Just Amazing. Keep up the good work.

    Flashed NEAK kernel on Rootbox. Sound issues have been resolved. Actually fantastic. Looking forward to this rom. Waiting for PA settings to work. I have a feeling this is going to be a great rom.

    No. Have a look at his blog, The main Dev is having some time off because of personal matters, but the maintainer has a broken laptop. He said it would be about 15 days before he would get it back. There is also another person on the team to help out. So Hopefully after all this is sorted, new versions will be pumped out.

    If they incorporate any of the features that Beanstalk has, this Rom will be pumping. I still float between this and Beanstalk. Sticking with the new of Beanstalk atm, it's just too damn good. Will come back and visit this Rom, once things are up and running again.

    I am looking for more help...if anyone is free and interested to join the project (who can contribute)
