From previous Android 4.3 builds at around 99mb to 140mb for 4.4... What's the extra that is included?

So for anyone trying this, here's my results after a little trial & error

Latest twrp didn't flash, aborted installation, error 7, etc..... In the n4/mako threads the majority of users were having this issue (worked fine for me). twrp for mako has been updated, but still waiting on a manta update

In the meantime i went over to cwm recovery thread. Haven't used that in ages and it seems there may be issues with some of their updates in general. There are flashables available for the last several versions. Here's the one that worked for me:

Clockwork_MOD-6.0.3.8-Touch-manta.zip

edit: just now signing in, everything booted well....happy flashing!

I can confirm Slim 4.4 didn't flash in TWRP. Just finished trying to flash a few minutes ago. I like TWRP better, so will wait until the issues can be sorted. Thanks damngood!

i'm picky about what apps i restore but i've had no issues so far with tb

although when using google's launcher, the keyboard pops up everytime i use the home button

and for those asking about features, most are not available....have a little patience and we will see them arrive in time. the slim team has much planned (or so i hear

)

Went ahead and no problems so far (FCs with a couple of apps, but I guess that's to be expected coming from 4.3). Yeah, the keyboard popup with the Google launcher is annoying as hell. Went directly to Nova. And I hope TWRP gets updated soon. Not a big fan of CWM.

Edit: CWM recoveries are written to the system partition, correct? So they're not accessible with any ROM/Nandroid management app?

Is wifi, sound and bluetooth working or are we going to need to wait for the 4.4 binaries? Either way I'm looking forward to seeing how 4.4 progresses on the Nexus 10.

Kills me that you would release this right as I get to work, can't wait to get home and give this a shot.

could be something i restrored, gonna wipe/flash all over again, no tb & I'll report back when i get the chance

How is the performance and smoothness overall? Compared to 4.3? Is it worse, better but not noticeable, better and totally awesome!

how about you just give it a shot yourself?

damngood98 · Nov 4, 2013

OK, fully wiped again. No mods, only signed in. YouTube isn't playing back for me. Only app I downloaded was Netflix, didn't work either. Not complaining, it's early, just thought if give a heads up for everybody. Otherwise the performance is excellent. Can't wait for this to move forward :good:
