very strange bug I just encountered. my notification bar disappeared and then constant system UI FC until i restarted. then i couldn't hear the person on the other end of the line when making a call. another restart fixed the issue.

i had this problem on PA so might be something related to that

Thank you for the incredibly fast rom. but now having problem with root permission. The apps does not request root permission hence doesn't have root previledge and could not perform the intended operation. tried to install other su/ supersu, but nothing fixed. I hope it will be fix soon

Reviews

Can anyone give their reviews about the 4.3 version

Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Good: Extremely smooth and fast, more customization with Nova Launcher
Bad: Built in superuser could not grant root access,

I upgrade from 2.1 to 2.5 illusion rom. Though 2.1 is fast, 2.5 is faster and use lesser RAM. Using nova launcher is a great add on. Have no compatibility issue so far, has installed all my favorite apps and games and still smooth. I had never experience such a smooth transition and quick response as it with 2.5 rom.

I can run overlay app such as "screen filter" and "swipe pad" and dpi sensitive app like "PAPAGO" and "Plant Vs Zombie" .so far, no compatibility issue

When I play "fruit ninja - Puss In Boots" it is very responsive and quick. How do I put it... you hardly wait for the level to load, it just... loaded.

Verdict: Awesome with a little flicker

Couple of quick things after just installing.

Overall. Awesome,

Great options, slick interface.

All options are available for custom buttons including last app (the ultimate multitasking button IMO.)
Really really good version of PIE (i think based on SlimPIE?) with every option you can think of. Pretty much perfect.
Sidebar
Halo ... version 1 only? it's version 2
Quiet hours, camera shutter sound, safe headset warning, and of course all the other CM goodies.

Backlight disable works ... yay.

Root works perfectly no need for alarm if you read that earlier "review" Dont install another superuser or busybox or anything. You can also turn on the torch from the lockscreen so Im not sure what that whole thing is about.

..

Small issues IMO

Lock screen ring is Slim. Not sure if thats cool really. Prob should use your own or default. Then again maybe its good advertising I dont know the rules about such things.

The illusion theme is pretty nice except the little CM man actually overlays all the menus obscuring some elements. Looks kinda cool but isnt really useable.

The included RoundR is out of date and missing the "essential" notification fix. It cant be updated normally and requires the old version to be removed manually (TiB) and then reinstalled from playstore. Then its not themed of course.

Focal doesnt work .. grey square captured instead of photos.

...

Things I would like (or perhaps just havent found yet?)

Remove lock screen page hints Found that one
Traditional style toggles for notification bar
Disable charging LED in Quiet Hours
Listview options to disable / change
Open apps in floating window from recents/quick settings. (Ideally create shortcut to open apps in floating window but I havent ever seen that)

Where are ribbons?
How do you enable halo? I turn it on in settings but the usual activation icon in status bar does not appear. restart fixed this...oops

...

Cant comment yet on stability or battery life of course but initial impressions are so good.
Thanks guys.

I flashed the ROM and unfortunately, wasn't able to use it for more than an hour. Reason was I was unable to connect to internet via my data provider. And WiFi in my library has firewall. So chat apps are blocked. Initial impressions were excellent though. Everything was smooth and quick. I found only one bug, but that was app centric or could be CM/4.3 bugs or app incompatibility with 4.3. Halo was working fine. Focal had no issues as far as I could check. Did have difficulty in finding root access. Got it eventually. I have flashed many ROMs and didn't face any issue regarding connectivity. I am living in India and I am on Vodafone network. I tried flashing my regions Radio, didn't work. Checked APNs (from online help and default apn), didn't work. Would appreciate any help regarding this as I really want to give this ROM a try.

Weird .. had no issue with 3g or wifi.

I have read other roms with data issues though. Try searching one of the more popular ones like PA or the CM release threaads.
