What to expect:
- This is not a McCopy ROM. What goes into our build is well thought-out and not a bunch of stuff duck taped together because we could.
- maximum optimization. We do our research. We test hard. We build -fstrict -O3 globally and include a massive array of code optimizations and memory leak fixes that we write ourselves and eventually submit to AOSP or Linaro.
- originality in our source. We generate a lot of new commits being features or general code improvements. We are open source to share and improve the community but we also try to make sure we offer a unique experience.

Just a few things strike me right off the bat..

Seems to be a common thing with 4.4.2 ROMS, but themes aren't quite applying properly.
'Dark' settings in the sms messaging app doesn't work - this app stays white no matter what.
Contacts & dialer app remain white irrespective of whatever dark theme is applied.
The 'inverted' stock theme doesn't fully invert everything - white menus still pop up and it really clashes with the overall look. See pic attached.

P.S. Can the inverted stock theme be like other ROMS - i.e. it's activated by a button in the main 'settings' menu? The reason I ask is because it's better when one can activate a 'dark' button and THEN apply a dark theme on top of that - the overall 'dark' effect usually ends up being more complete.

Please provide me About phone screenshot

Any more feedback :)
There's a screenshot in my last post, check it out. The ROM seemed to work fine even though I didn't stick with it for long. Themes not applying properly seem to be a recurring bug with 4.4.2 ROMS so I went back to my previous ROM - for now. ;)

Just tried the most recent nightly - the theming problems still exist as per my previous post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51321891&postcount=5

P.S. Like I said before - can the inverted stock theme be like other ROMS - i.e. it's activated by a button in the main 'settings' menu? It's more effective when one can activate a 'dark' button and THEN apply a dark theme on top of that - the overall 'dark' effect usually ends up being more complete.

it must be fixed

give last nightly try then feedback as i'm using it in my anzu no any bugs

Great rom,fast,stable and not battery hungry.
I have one problem with huge battery drain, but problem is with kernel and settings for CPU.With interactive and cfq I have fast battery draining
because CPU is always on 1017 Mhz, on Ondemond everything it's ok:laugh:
Performance setting and sound it's really great.
Thnx 3andala for this great rom!

I don't have that bug.

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

ART is working fine and everything is fast,but only problem is small internal memory when ART is enabled.
After enabled ART just reboot twice,because with one reboot dialer don't want to open.
