Mine as well...

As usual, I'm only tested on Sprint - but should work on GSM as well.

I found BT is broken - looking into it, I assume something is missing.

Edit -- seems after flashing gapps and rebooting, BT turns on....

Edit 2 -- kb backlight issue seems an issue, it's always on (when the screen is on)

The DPI also seems "off"... at least everything is really tiny. But it's fast!

Enjoy!

I applied the fix, didn't seem to actually fix it. They committed some other things which are now conflicting with it... trying to sort out how to properly fix it there.

Thanks for the info, idk why, but the keyboard issue's a deal breaker.. I guess I'm o.c.d. can't wait to try slimkat with it being fixed :)

I don't understand why you would have to keep editing .zip's... this is not normal.

Did the nightly's from Gummy have the same issue?

I don't need a video, I need a log. Pull the recovery.log if you're in TWRP.

idk man but its very irritating.. the scripts look damn near identical..im using open recovery.. funny thing after i flash slimkat im unable to mount data again until i reboot recovery.. then i can flash a rom.. no one elses roms do this.. i have no idea what the problem is with my phone..

this runs nicely once i changed out the meta-inf folder

Why does it make me push one to answer a call?
