I am back on the 4.4 ROM, and its working a lot better now. The difference is that I used the minimal CM11 gapps zip file. I also tried the CM11 ROM for our phones, and the ART function appeared to be (almost) working, to a point. After selecting ART, and rebooting, it then SLOWLY upgraded the phone by optimizing each and every app I had installed (about 30+min). However, the phone module and systemui just kept on crashing so that I couldn't do anything (except press the OK button on the notification), so much so that I had to pull the battery and re-flash a ROM; and hence I thought I would try Beanstalk KitKat again. Using the DALVIK
What doesn't appear to be working this time is WiFi. It appears to connect, and I can use an app called Wifi Analyzer to show the signal strengths, but I can't access the network.
I have yet to reflash the ST18a baseband, so hopefully that will fix anything that isn't working, but I doubt it.
Scratch that, I had the wrong password... :silly: Even ADB over WiFi is working!!! :good:
This ROM is now my daily. I do miss some of the features of the last ROM, but hey.
