I saw that, but honestly nothing really works. Hence why I haven't done a single thing yet in terms of releasing a build. Maybe I'll do it just so that I'm not completely left out, but I don't want to tarnish the beautiful Quantum name :fingers-crossed:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
Same exact things as his minus External SD. Only one person has audio working on d2 as well.

One tester you mean has audio?? Hmm weird so that means no phone calls then hmm
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] berryman13:
Hey Pwn I messages you about testing, right now I'm about to flash 2.35 and 11.7.

Man I missed a lot of discussion on the past 20 pages since kitkat hit.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Don't release it for the sake of releasing it. He said he isn't really supporting it.

If people here get the itch to flash 4.4, let them. They'll be back. It buys you time to iron out the bugs.

I call that a win win :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ps3kev:
Pwn is it just me or why are you so negative on 4.4 ??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
It's not even like that, it just would've been nice to see the same people again in the same type of thread. And after posting in the 4.4 thread I realized why I rarely ever post on XDA- people can really follow the crowd mentality even if there's nothing wrong. Which is something you'll even see on Gerrit.

Anyways if you want a taste of what 4.4 will be like, go install the build in the Android forums, but just remember that a lot of stuff doesn't work. Less than what worked when 4.3 originally came around. It'll be a quick bring-up though so it shouldn't be an issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ps3kev:
Seems like you gave up on 4.4
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
I don't know what the last few pages have been about then. It's more like, why push a release that's the exact same as what somebody has up, that's already buggy and doesn't have a lot of working features. I'm not even using it on my phone yet because of how bad it is in some areas. I atleast need to have working audio and camera.

Nobody is making you use Quantum. Nobody even has a remotely perfect version of KitKat on their phones, not even Nexus 4 owners really. Plus it came out LAST WEEK.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sajoeee:
you honestly, need to chill. ive been a quantum user for sometime since 4.3 cam out. but i might move away because of the ****ty attitude your giving us because were just asking about 4.4. someone released it before you so what? chill out and take a break. good luck man! :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
I don't know how you think this is a bad attitude. Re-read the last few pages of 85% KitKat questions and then come back here. The first time I ever even got mad about it was when I have someone pestering me in the thread about it, like the last few posts. Sorry I didn't send you a message back to even test out the 4.4 builds, but being bitter in a thread is worse. Asking for a build is one thing, nagging is another.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gvsukids:
Take it easy, he wasn't negative; just stating the facts about kit Kat
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
I don't want you to take what I said as bad. I support you and your decision. I'm glad you aren't releasing it for the sake of releasing to appease the masses. I'm perfectly happy with what's out right now from you. I love my quantum experience. I'm not jumping on the kit Kat band wagon because nothing is worth flashing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zeppelinrox:
Troll #1

Troll #2

Either trolling or English comprehension/brains are non-functional.

Doesn't matter because Pwn likely doesn't cater to either of those classes so best find a handicapped ROM to flash ie. KitKat.

I've been a silent user prior to the Quantum name change and I think this ROM is fast n spiffy.

Pwn has better things to do than release a crippled ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
Oh no I didn't mostly what my post was sandwiched between was what irked me. Things are already picking up again. Once camera and External SD are working again perfectly, then it'll be time to post. I don't know if it should be version 3 or not. We'll see when it gets to be that time. In the meantime I may release another 4.3 build just because they've made some changes that have completely fixed some battery drain issues. It may or may not be one of the last 4.3 releases.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Good. I didn't want to be misinterpreted. Much love. No homo :D

It's not all me, thanks to invisblek and some guys at the vzw side we got a nice guide going on. If you want to build 4.4 right now instead of waiting for me to put my spin on it, here you go!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tybalt:
Hey PwnCakes, really love the Rom and the kernel.

Is there any thing that would prevent me from trying to run your kernel on my Asus TF700 tablet? I am running the latest CM10.2 nightly on my tablet.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
Seriously? You think because he's frustrated at some unfounded accusations that he's having a sh*tty attitude? You need to go to one of task650's threads to see what a REAL sh*tty attitude is like. PwnCakes is Pollyanna compared to that bunch.

My advice, for what it's worth: calm down, take a stress pill, and stop trying to start sh*t when it's not needed, wanted, or necessary. Things will happen when they happen. Until then, we're getting some damn fine 4.3 releases, which I for one am quite grateful to have. Being a programmer, I know more than most what's involved behind the scenes and what hard work it is, so lay off the guy and let him do his thing.

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

There's nothing preventing you from running it. The fact that the TF700 doesn't have the same hardware as the GS3 is what will prevent it from actually working. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
Oh no, everything would be broken! Go check out kernels for the tf700, these will only work on d2att and d2tmo, and the Canadian versions. That's gonna be a lot of differences between the devices.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Man just stop, he's doing his best except everyone's is expecting the same quality and speed of 4.3 releases even though 4.4 came out a week and that idea is get far fetched. If you're super anxious to flash 4.4, look up bam android, but it's no where close to Quantum in terms of battery life, speed, or stability. Pwn, keep on doing your best and I'm sure a lot of us would rather wait to flash something stable and well-made like always, rather than something rushed and released just for the hell of making a release, like other devs. You're the man :good:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stew1411:
A few pages back I asked for help with iFunny and YouTube not loading correctly. I'm not sure why this worked, but I went into twrp, clicked advanced wipe, and wiped system cache and dalvik, leaving the data folder alone. I then flashed quantum and gapps. Rebooted. Everything works, and all my apps are still there since I left data folder alone. I had planned on reflashing, but decided to try this as an experiment to see what would happen. And all my apps are still here.

I probably wouldn't do this when flashing new Roms, but it fixed my problems.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
At the rate that these things are getting fixed, we could possibly see a release by Wednesday or so. It definitely wouldn't be official, and 4.3 and 4.4 channels will get updates accordingly. From what I've seen so far it looks like getting QuantumCore over is easy enough. Can't be that bad at all. Just waiting for a few things:

QCRIL branch merged back in

External SD working- Necessary for my own personal use with music and such

World hunger being solved

Once all those things are fixed then it's going to be a full on rollout.

EDIT:

You know what, to get rid of all the stupid pestering, I'm gonna try to get CM 11 to work with my kernel right now, and if it does then you essentially have Quantum. Minus the SD card. Beta testers will be receiving it MUCH sooner than everyone else. Expect it within 2 hours.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
I'll probably hold off until external SD card is working, because that's where all of my music and backups and stuff are. Quantum 2.35 is the bee's knees right now.

Oh, what am I saying, I'll still probably install it just to kick the tires a bit, then go back to 2.35. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
I'll be sure to message you once I make sure everything is still working. And then on top of that I'll have a 2.4 release out tonight as well.

Anyone else who is worried that I haven't answered them- YOU WILL get a link, got a little overwhelmed. I don't need you all to really test it as much as just enjoy it as a preview.

EDIT: AND WE HAVE BOOT. QuantumCore transferred over fantastically. Get ready you guys. It's time for the v3ALPHA.

Funny as my friends are always in Huntington Village on the weekends! Maybe one of these days I'll make a trip out there.

ALSO:

Considering two choices for a release. Either a whole build with a toned down kernel, or just the kernel and point you guys over towards the Android Dev thread. Debating on what to do.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rs3freak:
Lmk when u going!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:
A whole build? :)

Nicotine, caffeine, taurine, amphetamine, and classical music.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gvsukids:
Would the difference in the kernels be noticeable? I think your build would be beneficial knowing the quality of your work
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:
Not only beneficial, but an exclusive daily driver in my opinion.

Nicotine, caffeine, taurine, amphetamine, and classical music.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
The issue with the build is that it's literally the exact same as the one in Android-Dev, just because of the fact that nothing has changed. Releasing just a kernel saves me some legwork at the moment while I'm trying to get this 4.3 build out as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:
Would your build include the merged QCRIL commit so that external sd cards work? I'm not sure the new build in android development includes that commit.... It's up to you, I could probably go without my external SD card for a few days. No rush :)

Nicotine, caffeine, taurine, amphetamine, and classical music.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
No it won't, that's why it won't be an unofficial build yet- That kind of merge would take forever. It's not just one commit but a whole new set. That won't fix ExtSD either which is also an issue.

Anyways I'll post a kernel up soon. I think I'll call this one, "I gave up 4.4 development ;)"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] roemicha:
Currently it sounds as if everyone is failing flashing on the Kit Kat ROM if you are on the leaked bootloaders and modern.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Quantum Core is the name of the kernel that is bundled with Quantum, but you can download it separately for use with other ROMs (but Quantum is the bee's knees ;) ) or if there is new kernel update before a new version of Quantum is pushed out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spongdangly:
QuantumCore is the Kernel and the latest version is the kernel used in the ROM. So there's no need to flash it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Still on Quantum 2.35 and man, the stand by time is awesome, I'm at 13 hours on battery with 1 hour and 45 minutes of screen on time and still at 67%. Awesome! :D

Your Recovery is too old. Update it.

6.0.4.3 is what you need otherwise you can't install any 4.4 ROM.

I've hesitated asking as I'm sure this isn't related to your ROM, but it's driving me nuts! When I'm connected to hands free in the car a call waiting makes the notification tone and the contact photo flashes on the screen for a sec but I'm unable to switch callers. The second caller tells me they immediately go to voice mail. When Bluetooth is not connected, I can switch back and forth at will.

I've searched around outside of this thread and have come across a very few hits describing the same issue, but with no solutions offered and that's why I'm leaning towards a nut loose on the keyboard. Have I missed a setting somewhere or is this just remnants of the often talked about Bluetooth issues?

Thanks for all your hard work on the ROM. I had been a long time CM user but haven't looked back since yours hit the street.

It could be your actual phone settings when connecting to the network. I know I've been seeing a weird setting, but I've never had 2 people call me while on bluetooth so I've never noticed anything either. Try tightening the screws and check your provisioning, see if anything is weird.
