Always follow the OP through and through.

If things are acting weird, or you have things going on and don't see too many people reporting it.

Redownload rom and gapps
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe dalvik and cache
Format System (upon flashing rom it will do this automatically)
Then flash rom and gapps then reboot system. (boot the rom and then go back and flash your kernel of choice, if that's what you choose to do).


Also if having issues, boot into safe mode and see if issues still persist. Boot into safe mode by hold power button and long press on reboot. This will boot you into no 3rd party apps mode, basically. To get out of it, just reboot normally

To enable Developer Options, go to; settings|about phone|tap build number 7/8 times
to enable reboot options,(recovery, download) enable advanced reboot in Developer options
Dual Panel mode will cause some weirdness in settings. Turn them of to set everything up and forget about it after.
All the tabletui settings work but nav colors reset after reboot
If you have the "tick" while playing music then disable "Screen lock sound" & "Touch sounds". Temporary work around for now
No PhotosPhere in this rom still...might get added but depends on stability and CyanogenMod



You must flash Gapps everytime you install the rom as it wipes system every time. Use the gapps in the original post, if you use other Gapps keep those errors to your self and adress the person that made those Gapps.


Facebook acts up and is weird?? Stop using the app.
Update system apps before saying things are broken. (Google Now)
If you decide to run a 3rd party kernel, take your issues about; speed, battery, and reboots to that thread, we cant change their kernel to make it better for you, they can. Thanks.
You will not have a 4g icon, it is an H+ when data is being retreived, when idle it is a 3g icon.

This is a work in progress, I'll update it as needed

FAQ PART

What base is this?
It is based off SlimRoms, with a lot of changes... It is it's own rom now

Which MMS app is built in?
A custom one, it has Themeable MMS and Popup. look in screenshots for my goofy face and pictures.

How to activate pie control?
settings>piecontrols>activate toggle. The trigger is at the bottom, slide your finger up slowly, and it will come up.

Where are the Touchwiz features?
In a Touchwiz rom.

How do I take a screenshot?
Volume down & power, OR... settings>powermenu>enable the screenshot.

Does this rom have Tablet mode and such things?
No, and there are no plans for adding it as of now.

I am very happy everyone is enjoying my build both official and unofficial ones , both there is a little problem ,as I am from India bandwidth here is very costly and due to fair usage crap my high speed(2mbps) connection bandwidth is almost over.I would be very grateful if you people would help me buy more data ,so as to provide you with updated builds for your device.
Still I will try to provide you with as much updates as my pocket can buy ...

Having tested the initial build, I've found no bugs at all. This is the most solid beta I've found.

Edit:
A few things that might help a future build. ES file explorer really helps for installing apks we might have on sd card as well as moving files that the default file manager seriously lacks. There is no reboot to recovery option under the reboot tab. Beyond that, amazing first build.

Go into developer options and enable advanced reboot menu.

It's kinda funny cause last night I had emailed some slim devs asking if they would bring slim to us and then the next day we Have a rework of it.
I believe this to be the fastest, smoothest, fluent and graphic glitch free AOSP so far. All is perfect so far... I need to study audios and GPS before calling it the hands down best

Also I am digging the KLP theme
And the I truly love the animations

Can we get a link to the kernel.baked into the ROM.? I would like to dabble with Devil or Plasma just to see how they play but in case they don't do well with this I'd like to return back to the kernel initially baked in.

I absolutely love this rom and have only one minor issue, that's with the volume. Its a little low to me but I'll report back if I find a work around or any other issues. :)

Volume is going to be low around all aosp roms for a while. At least until CM Commits show a fix/change in the volume. Once that is fixed in the CM thread, then all aosp roms merge those changes into their own build. There are workarounds in the meantime and i believe Shangrila has posted one in the plasma kernel thread. Just the latest 411 for ya.
