This working fine and snappier for me. Titanium backup works perfectly fine. Randomly rebooted only once after making call. Didn't tried moving apps to sd (because I don't need it).

Thanks cn.fydor for this awesome effort :)

Edit: Bluetooth is also working fine here

I have some questions:

What is different in Launcher 3?

What Gapps aren't working at the moment?

Is there a chance to enable BLN?

Thanks for all your work, guys :D
[Nexus S Android Development] nexususer:
nope its almost dead but i couldnt wait to check 4.4 so i flashed it

my device wakes up i've pressed wpower button 3-4 times .. so it would be very very very kind of u if u add this feature :D
[Nexus S Android Development] down4life:
Latest PA gapps working quite well. Also would like to know difference in Launcher3?
[Nexus S Android Development] Nexus311:
RAM usage is amazing on 4.4. Never seen so much available RAM on our device before. Multitasking is possible again!

I do have random reboots fairly often, though. Other than that it's pretty great so far.

Thanks! This ROM is going to be amazing.

Alpha build 2 is smoother but there still are issues when i try to move some apps on sd and when i restart my phone all my apps stored on sd are gone
[Nexus S Android Development] torchwolfery:
Dude thank you so much for the launcher app, this rom was already smooth but its been running the best part of today with out any lag at all since I changed to this launcher... plus it looks damn cool lol

for me I seem to have more stable time with the alpha build 1, nothing seems to work for me with alpha 2.. I cant even get play store to download anything without getting an error message...

I do have one little thing I could use a little help with and thats the calendar.. I just cant get it syncing with the phone has anyone managed to get it working at all???
[Nexus S Android Development] Zahih:
Same with me, all my apps that stored on sd are gone after reboot.

And also still random reboot when restore or moving app to sd with TiBU.

Anywayt this build 2 Rom is so smooth, and also I can browsing with chrome without any black screen.

Working with F-Droid and Firefox

Just wanted to add my 5c that the alpha2 build is working really well without GApps and with F-Droid and Firefox installed (I manually entered the FDroid APK into browser to avoid the browser display issue). On boot I have about 220MB free and I keep getting superuser binary out of date messages (from the ROM app) on boot (even after installing superuser from F-Droid).

Only thing of note is I needed to wipe /system to stop AOSP keyboard errors (likely related to the problem I had when flashing CM10.2).

[Nexus S Android Development] ui10:
Thank you for your great work.

The rom is very good.

There is a little design bug on the startup screen, the keyboard pin code numbers are cut.

It was the same problem with AOSP 4.2. In the thread i find this (dont't kwow if it can help) : https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/f84e114527b5c4761026b34a8d08f0284d6c2f34

Works perfect

I have installed FDroid and and just Mozilla Firefox (last version) and it works great: No blinking white (or black screens) any more, good speed and stable. Google Calendar infos are by Mozilla loaded.

Thxs for this hint, which supplies browsing experience without limitations. Internet Explorer supplied by OS version does not seem to work with me.

[Nexus S Android Development] rolf2000:
Intended to test "Webview" with SDK Tools and Mozilla Remote. After booting several times I could not start Firefox anymore and other Apps disappeared...

Restoring backup was challenging, because "system" was not restored. Finally (after mounting/dismounting, etc.) I could restore former backup.

What worked while testing today: Mozilla, Android Assistant, FDroid, etc. and WLAN, mobile phone, mobile data access, GPS, new launcher (4.4)

What did not work: GApps (but Email),Android Browser, Photo-Sphere with Camera (works with my 4.3 OS), restoring backup

[Nexus S Android Development] nitroxt:
do you experience laggs with the most recent beta? Is multitasking, starting apps and so on smoother than with 4.3.x? How much memory is still free, after having usual applications in it (greenify, whatsapp, swiftkey)?
[Nexus S Android Development] Basche:
Kitkat is made to use less memory compared to 4.3, so it should be smoother even with those apps. But considering this is just alpha build, there are some issues. For example, people's apps disappear if it's on SD and you reboot the phone. I'm waiting for a stable release to try it out. Also people here are saying it's much better than 4.3.
[Nexus S Android Development] zephiel:
Having problem with Photosphere. But not a big deal for me cause I'm not using it regularly.

[Nexus S Android Development] torchwolfery:
So after a lot of energy. Many wipes installs and reinstall it seems my phone will work only with alpha 1... But I did flash the pa happy you posted and Damn it's so much smother. Not only that but I got art working too. At first it's quite slow when opening each app but once done it seems to get faster and smoother... So now it's just a matter of patients..

I might have a solution also to the downloading apps thing. On one page some suggested going to /data/data and deleting any folder with the name of the app you want to download that didn't work. For me it was SwiftKey... I did it and low and behold I now have SwiftKey back on my device...

Weirdly enough 4.4 is working better for me on my nexus S than it is on my 2013 nexus 7...

Thanks for the gapps again

patch for app to sdcard

Hi folks,

Finally I did a work around to fix app to sdcard function. Please test the new boot.img. The tweak here is to disable the encrypt mount option for sdcard. Give it a try if you are looking for this feature.

BTW, KSM was disabled in ramdisk of this image.

If you are just asking about running Terminal Emulator, then yes, it can be downloaded from the Play Store. If you are asking about the commands, then they should work on any device as far as the device is rooted. You are free to try... :)

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

It cannot be ported until we see this app in other official devices. Say Nexus 4 and 5 or others. Then developers will be able to recognize if it is device specific or can it be used on other devices too. PA will try to include it in their GApps if it is possible... Till then, we'll have to wait... :)
[Nexus S Android Development] astonmartin214:
Yes on terminal emulator what I want to see if it can be done have my apps stored on my sd card instead of internal cause I saw you can use the boot.img & some emulator codes
[Nexus S Android Development] khalid_ham33d:
No, this isn't the case... This ROM had a bug because of which apps stored on SD vanished when the device was restarted. The OP changed the boot.img file to remove that bug and I just told the command how to flash that boot.img file from within the Terminal Emulator. This boot.img file can't be used for any other device as far as I understand. You can find the app Move2SD or App2SD which are free on Play Store in order to move your apps from Internal Memory to SD Card. Hope it solved your query... :)

All in all an excellent alpha build, being my main runner for four days with no show stopper issues and running ART with odexed gapps. I've been researching current issues and this is what I found so far:

I've managed to catch a logcat of Webview full of chromium errors, same as maguro build.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47121108&postcount=679

I've got a reboot when clicking the Google search bar once, I believe it's related to some animation and unsupported command to gpu, probably a drivers problem as well. Got this from last_kmsg
