I'm using CarbonRom KitKat 4.4.2 too.

The Good:

- Great performance. Snappy once you disable the lock-screen notifications.
- Excellent battery life

The Bad:

- ANT+ service doesn't work. Anyone knows how to fix this?
- Do not like that Data is enabled by default
- Should include a Walkman app or at least a free media player

@ ph4nvu

I think you can remove the camera widget from the lock screen by going to Settings > Carbon Fibers > Lock Screen > General > Shortcuts.

May some Idea:
Make a Bar Chart to give a nice overview about:
Battery
Customizeabillity
Performance
Lightness
Active Developement (how many updates/month)
etc.


That would be clear an nice!
If you need Help by creating thus, PM me!
I just don't have the time and resources (Just got an Xperia Arc) to test all these ROM's :/

    well as i ve been saying we have many roms 4.4.2 with similar features but at same time different..so questions for users are:

    1. wich one is the best? --i cant say..its user choice for his needs.here you can see most features of each rom and choose.:)
    2. what makes this/that rom unique? --see screenshots and video reviews.
    3. wich bugs do they have? --report here some more or all you find.
    4. wich one haves more free ram? --see screenshots.
    and so on..

    i have choosen this roms,so users can say what they think and report bugs (if any) besides cm11 bugs.HDMI,video recorder laggy,stock web browser super laggy.

    I was wondering if you was updating this topic!

    PolygonKK:
    Good: Smooth and fast, even after I install many apps.
    Bad: Maps and navigation is blinking, video recording display often freeze (but the recording continue).

    UltraKK:
    Good: More Xperia apps (album, walkman, video player, social, sony sketch)
    Bad: Somehow the response are much slower when more apps are installed. (I have not testing camera and maps yet)

    Just found out that Google maps and video recording are kernel problems. So they also happen to other KitKat ROM.

    Oh well.

    Now these ones are specific to polygon kk:
    * Camera button does not wake up camera app.
    * Instagram can not upload stored image.Hang or restart when finishing the process.
