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)

Reporting Bugs

When you submit a bug you want to make sure that nothing from your side is causing it. Otherwise your developer might be hunting a bug which doesn't really exist.

The best way to achieve this is by doing the following.

1. Make a nandroid backup.

2. Perform a full wipe (factory reset + wipe /system)
Now we have two different ways depending on what kind of problem you're having.

3a. When you're having a problem with a ROM function, flash just the ROM without GAPPS etc. and boot back into the system. You will boot directly onto the homescreen.

3b. When you're having a problem with a 3rd party app in combination with our ROM then flash the ROM and GAPPS.
Boot now back into the system. You will boot to the setup wizard.
Log in to your Google account but make sure that you untick "Restore from my Google Account to this phone/tablet".
Finish the setup and open the playstore and download only the app you're having problems with.

4. Start a logcat recording and reproduce the bug (if possible more than once) while taking the logcat. If you don't know how to get a logcat read this tutorial or this.

5. Post the logcat in a txt file (this is important because you otherwise clog up the threads with your log) in the correct thread.
Please also write detailed description how we can reproduce the bug.

6. Restore your backup from point 1 and wait for a fix (don't ask for ETAs).

on maguro for 80% gps is working. There seems to be some user with GPS problems where we do not know why exactly...for most it works....on our team phones it works on all phones lol so:

Try to test it with GPSTest from playstore and if it does not work we need logcats

GPS is spotty for me so far, sometimes it works other times it just sits there. Only tested in my house so far, will see how it works tomorrow out in other areas. Other than that, only the noted issues so far.

Nice work, glad to see yet another 4.4 ROM for the VZW Galaxy Nexus! I think we're even beating the GSM Galaxy Nexus now!! Haha.

thetakerfan · Nov 4, 2013

and just when I decide to capture a logcat while trying gps, it worked first time. Of course

I just got a build done and testing. I can't believe how smooth it is for being an alpha. This is going to be a sick rom when it hits beta builds. Awesome work!

schnob · Nov 4, 2013

I'm guessing LTE works on this?

If you do I am available for testing.

been running two other Alpha builds One from here and one from RootzWiki. Strange but for some reason the one from here was like 153mb while the one from there was 328mb I think. That is the one I am running now and I am really digging it this KK will be scrumptrulescent when modded and themed!!!!! SUPERFAST and not that many glitches for Alpha builds. Anyways let me know, I am available for testing.

I haven't actually flashed any of the 4.4 ROMs yet (just got crdroid 4.3.1 set up with kitkat apps and I like the working data), just thought I'd put my two cents in on the graphical glitches. I've seen several posts for different ROMs talking about glitches in animations, just curious if turning off animations in developer settings would "fix" the problem until it's actually worked out?

Better try with GPS Test.
Maps is able to pull your location trough your WiFi.
Or switch of WiFi either will work.
