Hi folks, I'm trying this alpha from three days and now I can try to give a feedback:
- build 20131106-033956
- kernel default, with default settings minus Read ahead buffer (128), Governor (interactivx) and WiFi High Perf (ON)
- for now I have no reboots

* Battery doen's seems bad, in the night, airplane mode, in 7 hours it drains max 5%, I'm in hotel and use the phone as alarm.
* Mobile networks give me no problems, I update all via mobile network (Wind in Italy) and also WiFi is ok.
* I use dolphin as default browser, last release (1.290.587) and I don't have bigs problems in browsing internet.
* I'm using Hangout for SMS, it's a little slower then messages, but it's works quite well.
* I restored data for user apps with Titanium, lighter apps directly instaleld via Play Store.

Experience was near to daily basis like it was with Slim Stable 2, except for:
- graphic glitches on some apps due to Html viewer, GMail, settings and some other, but rotating phone it come to normal almost ever (known bug)
- dialer stay opened after close a calls (bug?)
- Bluetooth headphones sometimes don't connect to phone (same problem with Stable2 but it seems a little worste after three days, but I'm not sure)
- some settings don't open from notification bar, but only from Setting panel (Privacy Guard for example) but also these is already written
- some minus problems with apps, probably not updated for 4.4, so I don't care about them for now

I'm using from three days, as said, with no huge problems, so I could say it's another great job from our developer, it can only go better!
And it's only an alpha release (in other release I remember a lot of flashing activity with less stability... :p )

Have a good day, folks
Cesare

OK, back on stock. Now what shall I do. Moved on to Mpokang because people were stating it was working.

Hi hitechchef, I'm on stock kernel, my config is written few posts before, and with Trickster show me my GNex after 1 day 20:10:45 of usage
- deep sleep for 21:26:31 (48%),
- 350MHz for 20:06:55 (45%),
- 700MHz for 01:51:20 (4%),
- 920MHz for 00:06:58 (0%),
- 1200MHz for 00:38:52 (1%)

It seems good, I use mosty for gmail, exchange mail (TouchDown for SmartPhones), some play with OpenSudoku and DragonCity, some facebook and some calls with BT headset.

Have a nice day, folks

Well, my phone just started going into deep sleep with out me changing anything. 70% over 12 hours, very strange, my phone was lasting maybe 6 before last night. Actually the only thing I did was freeze Gmail and just use the stock mail client. Might just be luck of the draw for now for deep sleep.

    Some hints:

    1. Be sure you are on latest CWM or TWRP recovery!!!!!!

    2. Not all gapps packages right now are nice working. You can try others but at least I know that the one linked here is working. If you have other gapps which are working you can link it here of course

    3. Full wipe when coming from any 4.3 or 4.4 rom (as well format system manually please)

    so guys....seems to be that I need to clarify something


    1. this is an alpha version for a good reason......testing things, optimizing things etc etc. Bugs can happen bugs cannot happen depends on what we try.

    2. We have now an officially unsupported device. That means way harder time for all of us!!!!!!! You can really be happy that in such a short time the main things are working.

    3. To say switch to another rom is the worst advice ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How do you think we can solve any problems without proper reports??????? If you guys really search a perfect daily driver....do not switch to 4.4 at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    4. I see so much roms and commits which are using slims device tree for tuna....but ya switching rom is the solution

    5. As neb said CM did nothing.....this is a google fix and included since last 2 builds

    6. about features yes they come step by step........we recode a lot parts we are not a kanger rom.....although some seems to think that :( Interesting that tons of our features are included in other roms

    7. guys I need for the reboots more logs please from latest build to see what reason is left. Thanks :)

    sorry guys but the last pages pisses me partly of. Roms are living because of the community and help. This way roms scene will die due that no developer has the patience to do it further more.

    cheers


    PS. any yeah the big menu button a lot lot guys requested to have it back is the surprise ;) we had endless discussions about it lol :D

    sorry guys was not online yesterday....in some hours new build will arrive

    slims privacy guard completly fixed
    volume options
    safe headset volume option
    2 fixes in google code regarding inversive mode
    some minor fixes

    so stay tuned

    about the gpu problems...still same only minor imporvements internaly...good thing more and more devs are working on it. tuna is not the only device with this problem....just nice to see that now other devices in our team as well in other teams with omap4 are getting 4.4. The more devs we have the more hope is for a together worked out solution
