Sent from my PACman'd GS²
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NonexistentParan0ia:
To be honest, I'm not too sure if it's a kernel related thing with the ROM being able to stream Pandora via Bluetooth as I can do such just fine with Carbon: all I had to do was turn LPA off, which was a change in this AOSPA build a while back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mp3deviant721:
Dang. Really? Is disabling LPA more than a build.prop edit? I tried it on a PAC build from 4/09 and it didn't work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NonexistentParan0ia:
Nah, you just need to edit the corresponding build.prop value to turn it off. I think it depends on the ROM tbh as it works on some with LPA off and doesn't work on others.

If it helps, I usually flash UBER to any 4.4.x ROM I choose to flash

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeybuttons:
I didn't get this using TWRP 2.7. That usually happens when your recovery doesn't recognize an installed SU solution (such as Superuser or SU). If you know the ROM is rooted (this one is, as well as all AOSP ROM's) you can safely ignore this.

Also, with the rep you have, you should know that mentioning other ROM's is disrespectful. Our device is aging. We don't want to lose any maintainers we still have left.

4.3 Beta 2

On Monday we revealed hover, but as with any new product it had a few bugs we missed during testing. Thanks to your feedback we have fixed the majority of them. Since one of the bugs caused a reboot we have decided to push out a updated build, stability is of the utmost importance to us. We listened to community request regarding notification spam and have implemented some fixes, the display time has also been adjusted and other minor bugs squashed. Default hide time is now 5 seconds (instead of 3). If multiple notifications are received simultaneously, that time is reduced to 2.5 seconds before the next notification is shown (previously 1.5). Tapping outside of Hover now dismisses the overlay in 1.5 seconds (instead of 0.75)

The ability to disable the IME notification has been implemented, while we work on full blacklist support (check language and input settings).

As a temporary fix for the spam created by some apps, we changed how Hover handled updates from notifications. This change however, has impacted how some messaging apps are not handled. For example, with hangouts, you will only receive the first notification from a given contact or group. Any updates to the same chat will not trigger Hover. However, once that notification is cleared (dismissed/viewed) hover will send you the next update.

We should have a better implementation in the near future.

As stated on Monday, swipe to dismiss and blacklist is a work in progress.

What recovery are you using? I recommend TWRP 2.7.

Coming from stock it is recommended that you wipe your internal storage as well (internal sd card). Some even wipe their external (removable) sd card, but I haven't and it works great for me. I did wipe internal though, even coming from Android 4.3.

Also, if you do end up using CWM, make sure you go into "Mounts" and format /system before flashing. In TWRP, go to "Wipe" and "Advanced" and select everything but Micro SD. Make sure you have backups of your internal storage and your flashables are on your Micro SD.

It runs the basics just fine for me. Some games like Asphalt 8 don't work but 3D rendering on 4.4 for Hercules is a mixed bag anyways so I don't expect too much. Either way, this phone proves that you can still run the latest on it.

Oh! Man, the day I decide to change my rom (from CM 10.2 official) to a KK, a new update for the ROM I meticulously chosen is already lined up? Ironic, but I can't complain.

My experience so far with PA 4.3-BETA2:

Fresh install (Factory Reset in TWRP 2.7). Had problems downloading the PA Gapps went with stock Gapp I already had DL'd (turns out I was out of space). On first boot the keyboard (AOSP) kept crashing. I was able to use the PA OTA to download PA Gapps. Rebooted and installed, now keyboard works and was able to login to my Google Accounts. So far it's been really solid. Some slight lag from sleep. Also installed Google Camera from Play Store, and it works great! (only problem is you can't view 1080p vids in Portrait, only Landscape.) Serious battery drain, so far, but that maybe because screen was on for a long time while I was installing apps (I assume crossing from JB to KK, google doesn't restore previous apps.)

So far it's excellent, seems stable. I was hesitant to install as a DD because of reported camera problems and other system crashes. I'm not having any of these, yet, but will report on battery and stability once used regularly. Using Google Now Launcher.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frequency1:

Overheating issue

I've mentioned this before but never got any response. I'm having the phone get really hot at times and I've narrowed it down to areas of low cell reception. I turn off cell service in these areas and the phone doesn't get hot. Obviously I don't want to switch off cell service though. This never happened on stock or other custom ROMs, did something change with the radio? I'm using a Telus SIIx but it's unlocked and on Fido. Is there a different/better radio I can try?

Other than this issue, the ROM works great, I just don't want the phone to overheat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RebelebeR:
Is the model of the phone SGH-T989? Make sure the Rom is the right one for your phone. My guess is the radio is using a good bit of power trying to connect to the tower constantly or maybe not the right Rom for your phone.

Mine does the same, I thought it was normal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RebelebeR:
