Bug Reports:
Reporting bugs is important But reporting them properly is KEY.

If you think youve came across something that is not working as desired [bug] folow these steps to report.

1. RE-flash your rom cleanly and do not install gapps or restore anything. This will confirm the bug is in the rom and not a compatibility issue with your data or chosen gapps.

2. A logcat is very important for me to trouble shoot the bug ..

3 pull a logcat by connecting your device to the computer and open terminal then type adb logcat hit enter.

4 navigate to your bug and recreate it while connected and watch for a fatal exception.

5 copy the text apd use paste bin to share it with me.. after youve saved it copy the link and post it in the thread. Please ensure youve captured the fatal exception in the paste otherwise it will do no good.

If anyone experiences lag try using nova launcher... Google home is laggy and twitchy I just personally like it and it also includes the new walls.

Also speed up animation speeds in Dev settings til I get it updated in source...

Hi Droyd,

Yes, we all know about you striving for perfection :)
So a great thank you for this one...

I'll install it this very evening / night :)

One question though (do not mean to rush you or anything) but do you plan to release it for other devices ? If so, which ones ?

Regards.

Does this ROM have the problems of the other 4.4 roms? Like no compass in Google Maps, random bluetooth disconnects etc.
Never use Bluetooth and don't even know what or where the compass is so you'll have to try and see.. The compass thing is probably related to your gapps package tho..

Shouldn't have any of the nexus 5 port issues as its not a port. It's 4.4aosp based.
