Not at the moment, but I was thinking of integrating that here pretty soon. Something I want to test is battery life with the linaro toolchain compared to the stock one.

Hope that answers your question! If not, let me know :)

It definitely improves battery, as would anything that increases the efficiency of the system. Looking forward to it, haven't seen 4.3 with linaro yet. Hopefully -O3 flags don't have the same issues that Manta had with 4.2!

Really? I would think that improving performance and speed would sacrifice battery life, wouldn't they? That's why I was thinking of running the tests...

The Linaro toolchain makes the code more efficient. This allows the rom to accomplish a task with less cpu instructions. So increase in speed is due to less work the cpu needs to due which also translates to lower battery consumption. Being that the Linaro toolchain optimizes the code so heavily there can be some bugs which is why alot of developers don't bother with it. Generally Linaro works well with Nexus devices.

I've tried most of the ROMs for the Nexus 10 since the update and I believe this is by far the best. Very lightweight, smooth and fast. Not overly customized either. Great work dev hope you continue with it.

Error flashing. It was symlinking then said some symlinks failed, then error executing updater binary.

I was using TWRP, that has worked for me flashing 4.4.2 roms many times.

If you take a look at the features listed in the OP that should give you an idea of what's been added.

Can you try it with CWM? Anybody else getting this error?

What exactly is the error?

I might not get time to try it with CWM today but here is a pic of the error with TWRP, it might just be a TWRP thing but like I say I can use it to flash other 4.4.2 roms.

But, there was a problem with TWRP when 4.4 first came out on Manta.

I will try CWM today if I can. :)

It flashed with CWM (latest Philz touch). :)

It is weird for TWRP not to be able to flash it because, like I said earlier, TWRP did have problems with all 4.4 roms at first but with 2.6.3.1 I have had no problems flashing roms lately except this one.

Anyway, it boots and has wifi. :)

I will test it out a bit longer.

I flashed your rom using twrp and it failed so I rebooted back in to recovery and reflashed your rom again and it flashed ok that time. I have had this problem happen before with twrp but rebooting back in to recovery and flashing again seems to sort the problem out.

Hey all,

If anybody is using the Voice+ integration on this ROM, I've noticed the the functionality of the add-on seems to have ceased (at least on my device - N5) with the newest Hangouts update (2.1.075).

To be more specific, this newest update seems to have broken Google Voice integration through Voice+ for hangouts. Is anyone else having this issue? I'd really appreciate some more feedback.

When I get a little more time, I will wipe my phone and try a fresh start, but I would love to know if anyone else is having this issue.

Thanks!

    Hey guys, I know it's been a while since I've posted an update, but here I am, just letting you know I'm still here! I was planning on having a build out here these past few days, but my main drive in my build server failed :(. I'm working on getting it back up and running, but it might be a few more days before I can get it working again. I will have a build up here as soon as possible, and thanks for hanging in there guys!

    can I flash just the latest stock gapps. What does minimal consist of

    The minimal gapps just points to the latest gapps from http://goo.im/gapps. Only reason i say minimal is because it doesn't have the gesture keyboard and a small amount of google apps.
