What a difference a day makes.. 2 days ago I couldn't get it to build. Yesterday it had big issues... Today we have:

  • Sound
  • Phone calls
  • Battery reporting properly
  • No soft reboot on first boot
  • Bluetooth turns on (Haven't tried connecting it yet)

The external SD card is still not mounting so I need to look into that. Give me a while to see if I can get that working.
Awesome can't wait :)

After you iron out these issues, I'm definitely gonna run this ROM.

I see you uploaded the 11/9 build. Does this have all these problems fixed, and the Ext. SD card mountable?

This is wonderful dude.

I have been looking for a 4.4 ROM for days now. As soon as the SD card mounting bug is fix'd, i will be installing it for DD testing.
I have plans on making my own 4.4 rom. but getting this ported to the SGH-T999 is a pain the ass.

Thank you for your efforts. Your work is appreciated very much.
:cool:

A treat for you guys coming in a little bit. :D Sorry, couldn't fix the external SD card, yet, but this is a nice build! Leave the ART disabled. I'll update OP and thread title when it's ready.

Dang, I really need that Ext. SD to work. And why leave ART off?

I'm trying to download this rom but it seems as though the download link is invalid. Is there a new build on the way?

I'll get Ext working soon. ART is not fully implemented yet, breaks root, causes other issues and this thing screams with Dalvik.

New Build is posted.

Enjoy! :good:

Alright man, I'll be waiting for that build! Props! I'll give this build a run and see how it goes.

    Well... I came out of retirement because I don't have the patience to wait for KitKat on our SGSIII T-Mobile version. If you didn't own a Droid Incredible or Transformer Prime, you probably don't know me. No worries.

    I will NOT officially support this! I WILL fix the issues that I can't deal with and update this thread with my new builds.

    Credits:
    @cyanogen Mod Team for just being awesome, and the code, and all the things..!
    @invisiblek for his commits and just being awesome!
    @RMarkwald for brainstorming with me and just being a Great friend and Android enthusiast!
    @Jiggs82 for pointing me to commits that fixed the external SD card!
    @saranhai for the Kit Kat artwork!
    @cashmonkey for the external SD card final piece!

    What's broke:
    • WiFi tether
    • Netflix not displaying videos properly on phone (works on Chromecast).
    • Mute button doesn't work (Hasn't worked but it was just brought to my attention)
    • You tell me

    Frequently Asked Questions (READ THIS BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION!!!)

    First confirm your device model and see that your recovery is also as per model
    Your signature shows t999l
    So this may be issue.
