Well thank you for the review, keep them coming :good:
I don't use the phone much for heavy tasks like games and video recording. Always set video at 720 (don't need more, plus it can be played by slow computers). Is framerate constant or does it vary as on Sense (I think it did, not sure) ?
By multitasking, do you mean using recents ? I can make it crash (hard reboot) in landscape, when trying to scroll.
Reports on root usage is welcome, as LP is more demanding. Slim use "superuser" from Koush(cm). SuperSU may be ahead of superuser, try it if superuser fail. I have not seen any fails yet, but it may come.
Can't comment on Titanium and ES, I use 3cToolbox and RootExplorer with no problems.
LP is more demanding?(unless you mean security wise^^)
With your light 160 mb rom and cm12 lp gapps i have around 500 mb ram free all the time(got a min of 470)
apps take 2 secs maximum to launch.
The UI is fluid like never before and root is working fine(though titanium does recommend me to get supersu due to old v16 binaries or something) some apps doesn't detect the root(old versions of root apps and es file manager but root eplorer does.)
Landscape multitasking with HW overlays off doesn't crash no matter what i try to do. (stuffed it and scrolled it hard back and forth entered and exited apps excessively)
Landscape recents used to crash cm11 m12 too(if not crash just hang it and restart the launcher) and disabling hw fixed it.
IMO you should put this tip in the OP(disable HW overlay or dont enter landscape recents)
The only problem i had so far was that wifi didn't turn on once(turning on forever) a restart fixed it.
move to sd works fine indeed.
Camera: better than kk so far, snaps fast and works great(stock app) have't tried google yet.
Video: 1080p preview seems to drop frames(just a lil) when recording but when played back the video is fine and not skipping.
Didn't try 720p ^^(i barely record vids its a storage hog).
Battery at 34 degrees.(great!)
Google apps and sync: all synced well. google apps are working faster.(google calendar scrolls way smoother now)
all material apps that used to work slow in kk now are fast and have a lot of animations that were missing in kk.
what i miss: low friction scrolling
(used xposed to achieve that)
disable/tweak button backlights.
s2w is direction dependent.
question: if I change these values via a root explorer/userinit will the rom keep on working? i ask because you said some stuff about enabling/disabling s2w causing a screen of death.
