OMG thank you a lot!

I am a fan of AOSP roms from google! I like CM11 but I wanted this!
Can someone test camera? is working? bugs? Thank you and keep giving us hope!

Looks like someone has too much time on his hands. The build box is working overtime! :laugh:

Thank you, time and time again, for all those hours spent bringing us high quality releases.

Looking forward to test it, hopefully this weekend...

Thank you @ggow. Rom works great!
But this Rom seems to be incompatible with T-Mobile Cellspot. Actually all 3 custom Roms gets into boot loop while connecting to Cellspot.

screen not rotating. . .

 

[ferolac]

proximity sensor is also not working. . .

The battery is excellent with this ROM. Better than cm11 and slimkat.

@ggow, this is the logcat for boot loop while connecting to the Tmobile cellspot. Thank you very much!

 

[rster]

Another nice rom. To add the issues already noted, compass and pitch/roll don't work (when using "GPS Status") although gps does. Thanks again.

Looks like sensor service isn't working, will try to fix for the next release

How the heck did I miss this?! Im running the same rom by ggow on my fire tablet and I love it! I was going to ask why this wasnt ported to fire phone but just assumed it wasnt a possibility. Well no need to ask now. Thanks!
***how much luck have people had importing apps with titanium?

 

[zerbey]

Thank you for this, I'm sticking with your CM version for now but having options is a great thing for everyone!

 

[KLit75]

@ggow, is this based on kk? Id just like to know which xposed to install. Thanks
Nevermind. Its kk. Shouldve read op more closely
Hmmm.. it appears something went wrong. i did a factory reset, then flashed the zip (md5 check was fine). But its been hanging on "flashing file" for about 10 minutes. Im not sure what to do. Normally itll fail but never hangs. Theres no option to cancel....
update - it flashed ok. But that took about 20 times longer (at least) than any other zip Ive flashed on this. Booted fast though.

 

[KLit75]

Which camera are people using? I'm using snap and all my pics come out sideways.
