Have no chance to tried your works, even already downloaded the last updated ROM. :)

As I'm viewing into the screenshots at page 1, icon apps at drawer set in 4 columns only, instead of 5 (well, I prefer to like it) as in Launcher3. It's happened also in original Hephappy's CM-11-20131227-NIGHTLY, which I'm using ATM.
Google Now works fine. Translucent status bar works like a charm using your zip file :cool: . No more annoying message, :good: after PrebuiltGmsScore (taken from CM-10.1.5-Kitkat-p500) was installed. GEL works fine except the drawer has 4 columns only. Will edit build.prop bring back 5 columns drawer when ran GEL as Home default? Did you try it out?

PS:
Which file you used for camera (5 max exposure). As you said, from 4.2.2 but I can' t fine Camera.apk at /system/app.

Is the video scrolling smooth? On cm-10.2, Had been quite "jerky." After a little manipulation, phone reboot.
Wow... I found video scrolling very smooth and even GPS navigation is so smooth, I have not faced any FC...

Original Launcher3 is not able to display Google Card on Home Screen Left page, so I would like use external launcher and for me 4 row is better than 5, its personal choice :laugh:
Gallery2 app included camera in 4.2.2.

If you are using xposed framework, then gravitybox module has an option to change the number of rows (and also columns) on GEL. Just keep in mind that xposed won't work with ART.

only gappslite package is a flashable zip
you dont flash other two

just extract the user gapps ( cm file manager wont help use PC or some other file manager )
and install them one by one
gmscore then quicksearchbox then launcher

set it home launcher via settings .... and enable google now in search settings

the user system apps pack is not needed, u can get them from play store as well
he just placed the ripped apps in that folder imho

Experiment with 4.4.2 came to a rude halt:

I flashed the Dec 27 nightly over the Xmas build, simply formatted system, flashed ROM and Gapps. Came up and I had it going. But it seemed less stable than the previous build, numerous FCs so I tried to restore to the backup of the Xmas build. This failed. The thing wanted to "optimize" ALL of the dexes, ignoring my link2sd symlinks and this, of course, ran me out of data space (Link2sd's Achilles heel). Tried a variety of things to get back, no go. So I restored the cm-10.2 backup without of hitch.

Since the emphasis is on omni now, might just wait.

The Xmas build installed with wiped dalvik, and after letting link2sd make new mount scripts (would not execute my old ones), began redoing dexes and I ran my symlinks in time to keep some data space open (in other words, it respected the symlinks). This did not work trying to recover that build. Maybe something is off on the restore from cm-11 backups?

G+ doesn't work (13 dec build). It's not rom issue (maybe), but have you any idea (workaround) to fix it? Thanks
G+ doesn't work with this too... strange! dont know why :(
have you tried trimming LatinIME? I was planning to give it a try using OneRomEditor but my volume button kind of misbehaves so entering recovery becomes a PITA.
This rom is already trimmed and Hephappy already trimmed original LatinIME (from 32mb to 12mb), dont expect more to taste kitkat.

How can people get the butter-smooth rom?

I came straight from V20g stock like this:
1-click root
flash CWM recovery 3 then to 5 then to 6.
In recovery: factory reset, then wipe cache, dalvik cache and format system

And then just flash P500 27 Dec.

Animation is always laggy
CM File manager takes about 1 min to display all files in a folder that contains about 15 files.
Installation of something like the GEL (11 MB) took ... 15 mins!

Everything is so laggy that it's impossible to use it as your primary phone.

However it always responds. eg. When it was installing GEL, I could still quickly pull down notification drawer then could swipe it away without a sweat.

May I know what's happening here?

    Updated ROM Version-12 is available now through OTA

    pd151z3hhhrb4xlfg.jpg

    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 <std_disclaimer.h>
    /*
     * 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.
     */

    CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    This Support of the CyanogenMod is Unofficial and the sources are up at Androidarmv6

    The fastest, smoothest and more stable Kitkat 4.4.2, Check out this video with installation procedure.

    Installation


    - First time flashing CM11 to your LG-P500 (or coming from another ROM)?


    • Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.6 or above (Get it here)
    • Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo (Power+Vol dwn+home)
    • Do a Nandroid backup!
    • DON'T WIPE ANYTHING (data/factory reset + wipe cache partition+wipe dalvik+ format system)
    • Download and flash the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery 6.4.0.6
    • Simply flash in recovery through sdcard or adb sideload,
    • Follow the Aroma Menu. Finish
    • Reboot Device
    - Upgrading from another CM10.2 or Older ROM

    • Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo (Power+Vol dwn+home)
    • Do a Nandroid backup!
    • DON'T WIPE ANYTHING (data/factory reset + wipe cache partition+wipe dalvik+ format system)
    • Download and flash the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery 6.4.0.6
    • Simply flash in recovery through sdcard or adb sideload,
    • Follow the Aroma Menu. Finish
    • Reboot Device
    - Instruction for upgrade to new version from older version:
    • Upgrade version through OTA Updater
    • In Aroma Menu, Select Wipe Option 1 to upgrade the version.
    • Must select previous running SD-EXT script and Avoid those apps, which you have already installed in previous version.
    • Finish and Reboot device. Done!!!

    - Increase Device Storage size for more apps (optional)
    • Install Link2SD app (Link Here)and create "SDEXT4" mount script (dont reboot here), change settings to autolink apps and then reboot device into Recovery (click to see how to create SDEXT4)
    • Successful boot, now install as many apps as you want
    SEX Must read this:
    Some people are really lazy to read and they ask the same question without reading this part. So just put something catchy to attract their attention here;)
    1. DON'T SELECT WIPE CACHE AND DATA IN OTA after download of ROM or any updater patch.
    1. You have to insert an active Sim into device or run into Airplane Mode otherwise the ROM will be laggy.
    2. In Version 9, if you are choosing "AD2Sdx" Script then please have some patient on first boot as it will take 20-25 minutes. This script will flash the all apps in data storage first and then move to external storage (SDEXT) but after first boot everything will be normal. Also note this script mean for Class 10 sdcards. Although I have put some tweak to increase the reading speed of below class 10 sdcards but still writing speed will be slow. So those using 2gb or below class 10, will face a little slow this rom with Ad2sdx.
    3. To use version 8, you must have to select one apps from "Music" and "Enhancement" section.
