Woke up from my nap and saw this! Amazing!!! Downloading now :D

Edit: I would like to point out that there will be a mount failed error in TWRP when flashing the build. Ignore the error and be patient. It'll flash! It took about 2-3 minutes.

Edit2: And it has booted! Approx time is 8 minutes. Be patient on your first boot guys!

Can confirm the 7/8 minute 1st boot. Must be to do with initialising ART?!
Anyway, now for a play and a few customisations.
Once again, Thank you and hope you managed to find some time to enjoy Christmas!!

I just got 5Ghz to work. At least on mine. So since a lot of my android devices don't detect my 5Ghz I had to do some researching. Changing the 5Ghz channel from Automatic/Auto to 44 or 48 will make it work. Can confirm on my Nexus 4 and the Kindle. Works superbly!

Everything seems to be working very nicely so far. Just flashed about an hour ago. Seems much smoother than kit kat did. Thank you very much. Looking forward to the updates.

How to fix allot of FC's? Google play is giving me trouble. I flashed 12/20 gapps right? And su 1.94
As the title of thread says, its in Alpha. But may I ask what FC's your'e getting? I'm running the build on my Kindle at the moment and the only FC I get is Bluetooth Sharing. Bluetooth was activated on the main user and when I switch to another user it FC's.

There's no need to flash SuperSU :p. SuperUser is built in already and working. Wipe System, Data, Cache, and Dalvik. Then flash the ROM and gAPPS.

Is anyone else getting a bootloop when clicking on reboot? I have to fully power down to be able to make it boot. Also, I'm unable to tick unknown sources when on another user (using Multi-Acc). Don't worry, I'm not downloading pirated apps xD. I download the APK's over at the Android Apps and Games forum.

This is great! Thank you Hashcode!

When I flash it, I get the error
Code:
mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/sys
(I can't read further)

Is this something to be worried about? It boots just fine.

My other problem is that I can't log in with my Google account? Is this maybe related?
I get the same error and google account works fine for me
