Known Issues:
This rom contains AOSP versions of Gallery2 and Camera2 which does not contain Google features such as HDR+ and Picasa album viewing. Also I DO NOT USE FACE LOCK SO I DIDN'T INCLUDE IT SINCE I BELIEVE ITS A WASTE OF SPACE.

Hi. Just installed this and I like it. A few others have been having issues with chrome and location services causing soft reboots and really bad stability. This ROM does not have that problem. I tried first with the full PA gapps and had issues with Google search and the Google calendar FC. Wiped and clean installed and used the Banks gapps. All is good now.

Gonna go install the Elemental X kennel now.

Thanks for the ROM.

HI @jakdillard . First off thanks for the great AOSP ROM. Glad to see more entries. I have a question not about the ROM because its excellent for me but ever since the AOSP ROMs started coming out, some of us have noted a recurring problem with many of them. @scrosler maintains a AOSP ROM which is afflicted. @ctfrommn does too for some of us. The main problem we have is that when we load these ROMs on our Nexus 7 wifi editions and visit pages which request access to locations like www.google.com, www.yahoo.com or others, the chrome browser crashes and for me it causes a soft reboot. If we just stick to the aosp ROM after some bit of time the AOSP browser also gets very unstable and will start crashing no matter how much cleaning, clearing, etc we do. @scrosler had documented some of this and we've collaborated a bit trying to figure out why this happens. On rasbean, carbon, your ROM, and a few others it does not happen.

I am hoping perhaps you could share some knowledge and let us know any commits, if you saw this behavior before you put the ROM up and did something to fix it. Any info at all would be very helpful. I'd love to be able to see this fixed and get the other ROMs working.

Thanks for the contribution again.

Very well put. I build rom's from aosp for myself. I am, of course, running into the same issues. Clearly there is something being added by Google that doesn't exist in aosp to make Google location services work. Obviously this rom has it. With the support of the aosp apps being slowly phased out in favor of Google apps, we are going to need a patch in order to be able to make a fully functional rom. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I have to look over those other roms sources to see what they are missing more the likely they don't have the location services pointing to the right adapter or still using the old way of making device trees causing make to not put the overlays together correctly.

Well there a beta quality build of KitKat in the op this will not be a daily driver until I have a complete source to work with and proper proprietary binaries but good luch and enjoy. Also consider this a nightly project as features will slowly be added.

Always under the radar for some reason, but your builds are always fantastic. Great job as always on 4.4. Loving the additional features.

Awesome. Best KitKat ROM of all I have tried so far. Smooth and no fc or other issues at all so far. Stable in tests that other ROMs have failed. Thank you!

Thanks!

I just double tap the home button. It's less annoying.

Love Jack's creations. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.
