Known Issues & Fixes:

Boot loop when booting into TWRP with USB is plugged in

Workaround: Unplug USB after device reboots. It should boot into Recovery without issue. Replug USB after TWRP has booted.

Yep, but doubt I'll get much done this weekend. Going to be out and about, and on the road for a bit.

No problem,
I've install V50018a this week with @Jessooca build http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2692505
This morning, go back stock with @Jessooca thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2698401

So I can wait a zip some day.

So with this version I lose root and recovery? Is it rootable and can I install twrp on it manually?

No with this version you will lose root and recovery. You'll need to wait for a zip version

Sounds like too much hassle. I'll just wait for a flashable zip.

Curiosity made me flash it anyways... Worked fine and to me it feels even smoother than the 18A version.

Yea it's less buggy and really feels much smoother than 18a. You can always flash back to 4.2.2 if anything.

Yes, I was also curious. The instructions are a bit onerous, but clear. After installing it, the first thing I was glad to see is that it preserved my info (strange, since I clicked the clear phone data button), and stayed in English.

For those wondering, the Korean KK is real, and works fine. That said, since it seems other countries are receiving KK also (I read a forum saying it had rolled out in Spain already a day ago), I would suggest waiting, and here is why:

1) QVoice is in Korean. 100%.

2) Weather widget is powered by Kweather (not Accu) and is a bit buggy recognizing the cities. I live in Rio de Janeiro, which the 4.2.2 and even the leaked KK had no trouble recognizing. This one cannot find the city, and instead says I live in Sao Goncalo, which is somewhere else.

3) There are some local apps such as QTV, which is specialized to work with local Korean cable offerings. It is a remote control and TV guide, so no online streaming, and thus gives no advantage.

I'm "on my way back" atm because I don't need a tablet without xprivacy, adaway, afwall and tb. Still, great to see how smooth it is.

freddy5 · Mar 29, 2014

i can still wait for a flashable eu/us V50020a zip while I'm on the road with the twrp/rooted leaked KOT49I.V50018a

best regards

btw AdAway and Xposed Modules works like a charm..
