[KERNEL] KitBean 0.1.1: Super-slim | KitKat flavor | Fast | FancyKernel | JWR66Y

[gnufabio]

Description
KitBean is a super-slim ROM based on the latest Google Stock firmware (JWR66Y) for Galaxy Nexus.
This is a rooted stock-based ROM with some additions:

• Super Slim: the great part of the Apps contained in the stock ROM have been removed (You can download them from Google Play Store)
• FancyKernel: a fast and complete custom kernel that will give new life to your device.
• Preconfigured: kernel stuff is configured out-of-the-box. You can always change settings with leantweaks (contained in the ROM too)
• KitKat style: KitKat launcher, keyboard, camera and clock
• Advanced photo editor: KitKat Photo Editor has been partially ported, there are still some bugs though (See post #2)
• Super battery life

Changelog
V 0.1:

• Initial version
• Slimmed down
• KitKat launcher, keyboard and photo editor
• LeanTweaks

V 0.1.1 (update):

• Added themed dialer by default
• Switched to Fancy Kernel r43 (ext) which seems to give a better battery life. You can also install the bigmem version, which gives you 65mb of RAM but breaks 1080p video recording.

Don't expect miracles, it's a bit better than stock JWR66Y. I don't know if it's better than other ROM, I've never used one of them. lol

 

[gnufabio]

PSA: I've added a flashable zip package to Download page which contains a sort of KitKat-themed Dialer app by enricocid.

Nice! I will give this a try. Could you upload the libs for 4.4? I can give it a try to get the emoji working

EDIT: Can we get annother mirror? Androidhostfile? Mega is blocked at work lol

EDIT AGAIN: I got it working lol, found a workaround.. as a network engineer its my job lol

It isn't a problem with libraries, but with Keyboard application. Unfortunately, I can't fix it since - at the moment - Apktool is not able to re-build the apk. I could download the source and compile the aosp keyboard (if it has emoji too), but it takes lot of time, and I will do it when I have some spare time.
By the way, if you need the Android 4.4 framework just download the deodexed stock KitKat firmware for Nexus 4. It contains the keyboard too

About the mirror, I'm going out now so I can't upload it...I will create a mirror this evening if it's still necessary

EDIT AGAIN: I got it working lol, found a workaround.. as a network engineer its my job lol

LOL.Btw if you find any solution to Keyboard Emoji and/or PhotoEditor crash let me know. If you need the deodexed KitKat system here is a link

Hi Gnufabio, is the rome daily use? Which are the ultimate goals of the rom (stability, speed, battery life...)?

- Ciao Gnufabio, la rom è usabile giornalmente? Quali sono gli obiettivi finali della rom (stabilità, velocità, autonomia...)? -

I'm downloading right now and will give a try

Of course, it's based on the Stock Google Firmware. This rom is intended to be light, fast and with a good battery life. Everything with KitKat flavor. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed

 

[zamzameir]

i thought it will be kiktkat "theming" rom? i hope so (like transparent navbar, statsbar, icon app, statsbar icon etc etc to remove the blueish thing and replace it with kitkat white style)

i mean like this post:

- again corrected some parts where google missed to theme KitKat to the end

that is from SlimKat 4.4 ROM updates

I don't know yet, I fear it would compromise the stability.

So I tried to merge the libs and font files with 4.3 and i actually got several pages in the emoji part but no pictures.

I will try more when I get home.
