About to give it a try

EDIT: I flashed it and everything went good. . only issues I seen where that the home button wasn't working and the quick toggles button in the notification drawer wasn't functioning either.

You need to follow the install instructions. You MUST reboot between flashing the rom and gapps.

Just finished installing and as mentioned the home button is borked. I'll be out for a few hours using it to play tunes. I installed BBS, Jet and Android Tuner. Set minimum clock speeds to 192. So I'll play tunes for the next few hours and report back later with performance and battery results. You might also want to consider adding a file explorer to this. It makes it super easy to just pull up and install apks without the need to connect to play. Thanks for putting this out there.

How did you install it? Did you flash the gapps at the same time as the rom?

Yep. Flashed ROM then Gapps. Wiped cache/dalvik. Rebooted. That's the way I always do it. I'll do it the way you have in the OP next time and see if that helps at all. lol Also just noticed that the lockscreen doesn't come up. If you hit power it brings you straight into the launcher. I checked ROM control and everything looks good there.

That is your problem. You need to follow the install directions in the OP. If you don't you will have issues like that.

Funny thing is I've been flashing a long time and have never had issues. Why is this order so important? If you just flash the ROM and reboot it builds the dalvik. If you then go back after letting it settle and flash Gapps you wipe the cache and dalvik again. So then the ROM has to rebuild. Why not do it in one shot? Not disagreeing with you at all just trying to better my understanding of why this makes a difference.

That I am not sure. Just try it and let me know if it works. It's the same with miui too though. If you flash everything at the same time you lose your home button.

Cool. I'll try it that way later. I'm on my way out the door to test this thing under real life conditions. Like bouldering. Music makes climbing so much better.

It's also the same with Beanstalk, I tried to flash both at the same time and same issues.

@toyes when you remove the setup wizard from gapps it will frack the home button when flashing rom and gapps at the same time, rom must be booted first b4 flashing a gapps package w/out the setup wizard

Thanks. Ya I knew it has something to do with the gapps package but I wasn't sure what. As long as people follow the install instructions there shouldn't be any issues.

Well you learn something new everyday. lol It indeed works fine flashing the ROM first then rebooting to flash Gapps. But you guys already figured that one out. As far as battery goes I listened to tunes for 4 hours with headphones and have 80% left. So 5%/hour. About the same as putting a regular ROM in Airplane mode. That was with wifi bluetooth and gps off.

Glad to see this project has materialized Toyes. I'll charge up the ol' rocket tonight and run this puppy through its paces tomorrow. Since wifi is still included, the xbox glass app will still work right? I mean, I don't think it needs any other type of connection, correct? If you're unsure, I'll test tomorrow and report back.

Next version is in the works already. I may have to turn this into a phone functional rom too...

Honestly I run miui, it's my favorite ROM. I have never had home button issues by flashing ROM and Google apps together. That's the way I always flash.

It all depends on the gapps package you flash.
