Main Features
1. Fast, stable and intended for gamers
2. Built from CM11 source with O3 optimizations, heavily debloated , no 3rd party apps are installed.
3. Modified CM Kernel included (for now, since CyanCore is not yet ready)
4. Additional tweaks ( vary from version to version )
5. For those people who love ROMs with lots of themes , customizations , apps etc , please leave now , you will be disappointed , this ROM is not for you.

I understand that my ROM will sound simple and backward to many, but it is a stable and fast base for gaming, probably the fastest without OC, and with OC, it flies.......

Due to the cleanness of this ROM, it will provide exceptional battery backup too.

So do you users want a clean gaming oriented ROM or do you want your gaming to be riddled with problems and lags forever?

Feature Requests accepted, but only stuff which enhances the speed and stability, or betters gaming speed without lessening stability will be added.

Known Bugs
Some minor CM bugs

Install Procedure for best performance
You should take a nandroid backup if anything goes wrong

1. Wipe data , cache , dalvik cache (required while changing layout)
2. Format system and datadata (required while changing layout)
3. Install CyanAOSP ROM.
4. Install my Gapps package (required) , link below.
5. Set up the ROM and leave it alone for 10-15 mins.
6. Reboot again and enjoy.

FAQ

1. What is the partition layout ?
This ROM uses the 1.3GB /data layout like CM11, SlimKat and all other KK ROMs

2. Its Kitkat, where are the transparency ?
They have been disabled because Galaxy S is a low RAM device. Remove this line from build.prop to re-enable this and other effects - ro.config.low_ram=true

3. Where is the browser ?
I have not included AOSP browser as of now, because there are a few bugs in it, and after the move to Chromium engine, it became kind of laggy. I recommend Chrome Beta and Opera Mini as replacements.

4. Can I use any Google Apps package ?
No, you can use only my modified package, as the system partition is smaller and some stuff is packed in the gapps.

5. I get a Status 7 error while installing. What to do ?
Install ROM once, reboot recovery and install again. If still not working, install latest CM10.2 , and flash from it.

6. How to get Adobe Flash on Kitkat ?
Install this Kitkat compatible Flash Player apk from here. Now you need a flash compatible browser, I could find only Dolphin Browser which works. Install Dolphin , set Flash Player to Always On, restart browser and you are done.

Problems with Google Play

Hi,
first of all thank you for the great work you are doing.

I installed your KK Rom 4.4 1.0.0 and am not able to get connected to Google Play. Actually, I connect to it, get the screen with Apps, Games etc. but I can not search and when I click on Apps - it tries to connect to Google Play but nothing happens (white screen under the search line) with circle rotating in the middle and after a while I get message: Connection time out.

And this stayed even after I rebooted ,my I9000.
I used your Gapps.

Best regards,

Pavana

Thanks for the prompt reply. Might be, but I get gmail synchronised without any problems, phone is working just fine, SMS also, and the first impression ist that it is faster than my old CyanAOPS 4.2.x or SlimBean 4.1.



I think its a connection issue on your end. It works fine here.

Thanks for the ROM! I dont have any issues with google play and I hope not in near future :p. As much as I love ART as it gives more RAM, but it's really unstable, giving me random restart and so many apps can't be downloaded sighhh.

Tried flashing but install fails:

set_metadata_recursive some changes failed
E: error in <rom>
Status 7 aborted

Done all wipes and formatting. Flashed twice with same result.
I've got a back-up. But is there anything else I can try?

Edit:
Any chance of an md5 sum for the rom so that I can check the download?
