OK so far running good just a few issues. No gesture typing on aosp keyboard. No sound tile other than that seems like a solid running ROM. Thanks Codename glad to have you back loved your work back in early jb days can't wait to see how this turns out.

In the past when gesture typing hasn't worked for me it's been the gapps package I used

Gesture typing has worked on multiple roms with the gapps package I'm using, but it doesn't on this one. Other than that, this is running great.

Gesture typing isn't even an option when I checked it, but having proper data hand-off is what's keeping me on this rom. All the features that I want are here and I don't have to run CM. Happy days.

Also, there doesn't seem to be a toggle to show data activity in the status bar. Not sure if that was a feature added in, but as long as mobile data works I'm happy.

Edit: And of course I spoke too soon. Data switched from Wifi, to 4g, to 3g the first time, then never worked again after that. My problem so far with every KK rom is I can switch from Wifi to 4g, but never to 3g. Have to reboot with the radio forced on 3g for 3g data to work.

Almost positive it is an added feature. Only way to see data activity in KitKat is to pull down quick settings. Unless the option is added into a ROM.

Since switching to fancy kernel, I have had one random freeze when trying to open the Google dialer. Dunno if its the dialers fault since I had to flash it or if its the ROM. When I was running askp kernel, the freezes came when doing random stuff.

The last freeze was a few hours ago. Hopefully its ironed itself out as everything else is great!

Spoke too soon. Another issue with lockscreen not unlocking unless I click on one of my dashclock widgets. Also, and the deal breaker for me, getting some serious random glitches with apps. Take a peak

Guess it didn't save my screenshot of tapatalk doing something similar. Hope it gets all ironed out cause I'd love to come back to this ROM.

I've not had any issues and I've surfed the web, watched flash videos on dolphin browser, and played a couple games at lunch break.
Running mpokang sr with slimbean 4.4.2 minimal gapps.
Also, I had to umount /system to get it to flash due to symlink failure, but flashed fine after unmounting.

Thanks, I think I'm gonna give this one a try, seeing as it's been confirmed to work with Mpokang SuperRam. :D
You won't regret it. No issues with it here. So happy to have pie back! I didn't miss it as much with the new immersive mode, but I love being able to just swipe my thumb from the right and having all my buttons right there!

Hmmm, where exactly are you getting PIE from? I have HALO enabled but I see no section for PIE.

Also, any idea if Codnamedroid plans on adding theme-chooser to this rom? Honestly I'm digging it so far, really the only thing I would like to see is Theme-chooser added and a volume settings option in quicksettings.
