after installing the nightly, i am on android 4.3.1?

Meh..

You downloaded the JB nightly?
You didn't factory rest your phone?

I know that 2013-12-26 nightly is Kitkat. I haven't tried 2013-12-26 as I reverted back to JB since sms restore apps don't work yet because of changes in kitkat API.

Anyone point me in the right direction for an SMS backup restore app that does work with JB to Kitkat migration i'm all ears.

Kitkat is very cool though.:good:

This works perfectly https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en
Set it as default sms app under Settings>Wireless>More (i hope)
Restore SMS's
Set Messaging as default sms app

My backup seems to work for me. It asks you to change the default app to do the restore but then it will change it back once it's restored.

Yep That worked

Yes that app restored my sms just great then I went back into settings and switched the default messenger back. I've found that the initial Google setup doesn't restore my contacts though or restore my apps, like in 4.3,4.2 .. So I've rolled back to 4.3 until I can get this worked out.

CWM is a life saver

P.S.

I'm using a slim build of signed gapps ~22MB Just like with 4.3 To get over the extra bloatware

No SD Card

Hello

Could anyone tell me if they have been able to get the internal storage working on this rom? I have OmniRom, Free Xperia and this one but all the KitKat roms seem to have the same problem.

Once the rom is installed everything works really well except the internal memory (ext sd card is fine)

I would really apreciate it if you would be able to point me in the right direction.

Thanks

John

did you format your internal storage while running 4.4kitkat custom rom?
you see the internal storage but cannot write it, or is it not visible?

i know about an issue on omnirom:

if you install omnirom, and then you format internal storage, you lose internal storage.
how i fixed it? clean installation of sony stock.145. then format internal storage. then install custom rom.

is that your problem?

edit:
seems quiet here about aokp kitkat for XT, how is that rom? same like CM? any thoughts from you?

 

[championswimmer]

If you would like to use TWRP Recovery with this ROM, you can use this app to install it
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...mer.twrpxperia

Also, this app allows you to come back to CWM if you don't like it. This app works on all custom ROMs (that have FXP-based kernel) and allows installation of TWRP to FOTAKernel partition.

This Rom looks very promising. I am coming from Samsung and are new to this kind of flashing. My device is new so I didn't try this Rom. But after further reading I will definitely try this.
How about bugs in current nightly versions? I saw that there were no bugs filed depending this device. Do you need testers?

Google Sync works? And no huge Android System battery drain issues?

Last time I tried was like, a month ago with CM11 and it had quite some issues.

Sync doesn't work no gmail and contacts

 

[Imprezzion]

That means battery drain as well as it tries to sync infinitely when you have GApps installed.
So, still sticking to 4.3 here..

 

[djfuego]

Killin my battery

Yeah If it wasn't for the killa drain on my battery I'd be using this.

 

[-droidberg-]

Any iprovements, still battery drains, no GPS and sync issues??
