first...:D
download in process....
i'll report feed back after flash

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------



just one question... mali driver 2 or 3??
Whatever the latest CM kernel is, not sure, I'm assuming v3 but I may be wrong, in any case, any of the CM kitkat kernels that have v3 should work on this as it is CM based

Thanks everyone, I really want to keep our device updated

My next project is pac-rom, but keep in mind it won't be posted for a while, 4.4.2 works on our device but really doesn't have much ported into it yet so there's not point in posting it until its fully working and stable.

Cheers!

P.S
There is a donate button in the rom for scott, he has worked very hard on this rom, please consider sending him a paypal donation!

Hi, before I switched from pound I have questions.....
1. Will this rom supported with continously updates for long time? I will not switch again and in 1 month the rom dead, because the Dev buy a other device. Updates comes weekly or nightly?

2. Is mali3 included? I must know it if I flash kernel with mali2 or 3 . example dori.

3. Is in this rom package installer with version info view?

4. Works with xpose, I know that than art not work, but I not used or need art

5.can I used supersu? I must take that because any apps only works with it..
I used flashable version.

7. In op I read, no full wipe? No factory reset if I come from pound rom? Sure?
Only wipe cash... Dalvik..if comes from other rom ?

What I read here is very great.... Good start for this new rom.... Great features included....

Answers:
1. I am not planning on buying a new device for at least a year and even when I do, I think I will keep my i9100 around for development
2. I'm honestly not sure, i am using the latest CM kernel source so if someone else knows that would be great, on my phone I use apolo kernel which is v3, great kernel with great battery life and tweaks
3. Not sure what you mean
4. ART works in this rom as reported, CM finally got it working (or scott), xposed depends on if it works on CM or not, if it does then yes, in any case there is a huge amount of tweaks in this rom to choose from
5. I believe so but am not sure, in any case I have never had issues with the stock SU
7. It's best if you backup your ROM and do a full wipe but since its also CM based I don't see why it wouldn't work with just cache and dalvik, but again, no warranty from me.

EDIT: There won't be nightlies for this rom, just FYI, I will try to update it at least once a week but please don't keep asking for ETAs, if the dev does a huge update the next day I will update it if not please be patient
