Atm i've no lags. The rom is smooth and really fast, but unfortunately there isn't a way to choose the default governor and scheduler, so I'm pretty sure that ondemand is running (that means full power cores every time a process has to be done).

Interactive is more smooth than ondemand by design

Ondemand use less battery than interactive but anyway, interactive is the best atm for our nexus

How do you enable developer options in 4.4? I'd really like to try out the screen recorder

rotation and camera will get finally fixed when google hopefully soon decides to release the 4.4 grouper blobs...if not I will hack around for you.

the launcher keyboard popup we cannot do anything...this is a bug on googles closed sourced new launcher lol. Lets hope they will update it as well soon. You can use nova instead which is in our builds as well

Great work guys! Are Slim features included in this build? Oh why the hell i'm asking for them? Downloading and testing :D

EDIT: just updated (wipe cache and dalvik, flash rom and supersu.zip) and rotation doesn't work (or at least the tile in quick settings menu doesn't allow me to set rotation mode). Neither camera is working :|

    it is currently a hard task on the one hand we bring all our devices up on the other hand we put back our features...some are redefined some we programm completly from scratch with new stuff. Eg today we pushed about 200 commits from 4.3 into 4.4 for our other devices + fixes for current devices

    but mostly ppl are interested in new features...so new build has:

    - superuser included (need to be enabled in developer options!!!)
    - a lot new features just discover them...to much to write up
    - a new crt animation...check it out
    - fix settings locale language problem
    - and tons of fixes under the hood

    and new build is up

    I added a simple list yesterday but it is actually more we have already included:

    - all keyboard features are back (force auto rotate, disable landscape fullscreen, force enter button, ime notification, volume key cursor control)
    - clock statusbar features
    - crt animation
    - statusbar brigthness slide
    - safe headset volume
    - volume rocker features (wake device, sound skip)
    - slims privacy guard
    - volume panel features we had
    - keyguard on supported devices shows now transparent navbar/statusbar as well
    - wifi country code
    - advanced reboot menu
    - custom LED battery and notification features
    - swipe qs -> notification and back
    - disbale OTA from google
    - slims camera and video features (smart capture, image quality, image size, gps indicator etc)
    - implemented root (needs to be enabled in developer settings or in superuser settings. Disabled by default)
    - tons of fixes in google code and optimizations
    - a lot under the hood stuff
    - and whatever I forgot to mention lol

    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)
