Changelogs

AOSPA 4.41
* Fix Documents UI crashing
* Full battery meter theming from CM
* Other upstream theme engine fixes
* Translations updated
* Other miscellaneous bugfixes

Device Specific:
Fixed GPS
Added Move to SD support
Added Wireless Display support (Miracast)
Previous changelogs:


AOSPA 4.4 Final
What does 4.4 Final mean?
Current featured branch reached final stable state. Doesn’t mean at all that development has stopped :) You can just flash this, and feel safe.

KITKAT UPSTREAM
Android 4.4.4 upstream tag has been merged into our source.

VOLUME PANEL
The Volume Panel has been re-designed as you can see in the image below to be inline with hover, be less intrusive and more beautiful.

HOVER
Hover UI/UX has been reworked a bit for tablet users: Hover will not take the whole screen width, but it will respect notification size. Also status bar isn’t hidden when hover shows and you can pull it down when you want, as you touch status bar Hover will be dismissed to not overload on top of status bar expanded state. Another awesome thing is that un-dismissible notifications cases like screenshots etc have been solved (yea is true). Last but not least the marriage with ticker view has been reworked, when hover is enabled and you receive notifications from foreground app they will not be shown in Hover but in ticker.

PIE
Fixed a couple of issues regarding repositioning. Also, Pie now follows same behavior of navigation bar on phone when in landscape, sticks at right. Last but not least Pie is now themeable by external xml resources, by Theme Engine.

PEEK
As for Peek App our Native Peek got some love on sensors side. They should work better now. You can find latest Peek App with advanced features on Play Store, check link below.

THEME ENGINE
Merged upstream changes and added style support to Dialer app, IME switcher alert dialog and many more.

BATTERY TILE AND STATUS BAR INDICATOR
Added colorizing support for all components for both circle and stock look. Themers can play with everything now :)

Hi, can you provide some screenshots?
PA is my favorite rom hehe
Working great so far.

Only could find one little glitch, which you can see in the last screenshot. That only happens in the menu for the ads settings and disappears after changing to landscape mode and back.

EDIT: Also occured in the calendar and other screens where the white theme is used.

Sent from my C2105 using xda app-developers app
Does the 4 Gb works ? It's not mention in bugs.
No the storage hasn't been fixed yet. I have added to the list of bugs. Forgot about it before. Thanks for pointing that out

Thanks for the screenshots. As for that graphic glitch, its pretty minor, and I'll be looking into it.

well done man...

thanks for hint, now testing! :) @dj2tusk Thanks button hitted...i will be back with a review ;)

I was testing, several hours and here is my conclusion:

I highly recommend you to keep going, while it looks awesome and the bugs can be fixed in time !

I will add some screenshots and i can`t wait for the time when this ROM will be 100% ready for our devices!

Thanks a lot for your awesome work!


P.S. on 4 of my screenshots i think there are some bugs like FC on bulb, the frame on right side of my mobile display and other 2 ...the rest is just to proof others the rom is rooted, just is missing CWM (or maybe i am noob and idk what key to press to go into CWM)

2)install bubble launcher
3)enable halo mode and download extension
4)reboot now u have full halo mode.
(this will not make ur phone look bad as like fn its same like pa halo)
No, no, no... I am asking about the original HALO mode of this ROM ;)

Had tried that way but i didn't like it :D

Thanks for awesome work.

Use file commander from stock ROM. It is working fine. I am using it with percy_G2 AOSP ROM. If you want, I can send it to you.

I misunderstood. internal sd card is not accessible.

The glitch really is minor and I don't mind it.

Unfortunately though my battery went from ~50% to less than 5% within less than 10 hours. In flightmode...
I can't be sure it is the ROM itself since I installed a couple of apps and battery usage data isn't available...
Anyone else facing the same issue?
