Thank you for providing this for the community! Does it use the same DKP kernel that old&slow's build utilizes? I'm guessing yes, since he was thanked in the OP.

Would this ROM be similar enough to old&slow's that it can be flashed over it without wiping data? Sounds like it's the same as old&slow but with some optimizations.

Just answered my own question - NO. Got stuck in "Optimizing Apps...".

EDIT: I think the answer is NO partly because of the build.prop handling of the dalvik cache. That's why it gets stuck at optimizing apps.

The tweaks made in this ROM certainly make it feel smoother!

However, I'm having some issues restoring my apps via TiBu, specifically Poweramp Unlocker. TiBu freezes when restoring and then the system gets stuck at Updating Apps upon reboot. I have to manually delete data/app/com.maxmpz.audioplayer.unlock through TWRP's File Manager.

I don't know if it's with this ROM in particular or if I just have a corrupt backup, but the first time I came across this issue was after installing this ROM.

EDIT: I'm more convinced it's something with this ROM because it freezes when installing the same app from the Play Store as well.

This is running real smooth. I did dirty flash from the stock ROM and all is fine.

I had the same exact issues with TiB locking up on PowerAmp. Then a reboot wielded a freeze on Optimizing Apps.
