I also flashed Faux, but then installed 4.4 non-shared... That's why I was confused, but this might well work.

First i installed pa_system with kernel not share option then gapps next faux kernel then i delete cache/dalvik and rebooted and woilla it works :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] getupandbeit:
Is there a mirror for this ROM? My attempts to download keep stopping about halfway.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] AidenM:
Just download this, the gapps, and Faux Kernel (mainline)

Will let you guys know how it plays out.

Has anyone tried using ART instead of dalvilk?

Same here. Root works great when installing from TWRP.

Faux+wipe did work for me, tried m-kernel and oxydo unsuccessfully with bootloops.....

running multirom:

primary = stk 4.2.2/motley-249

secondary #2 = pa 4.4/faux-22m

I got stuck in a bootloop, and if I go to recovery, I only get the dead android picture? I did use clockwork, what do I gotta do to get back?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Use fastboot to flash the newest twrp
[Nexus 7 Original Development] drewski_1:
dead android sounds like you're back to stock recovery.

try using ADB to flash the custom recovery img file?

here's a link to TWRP images. use 2.6.3.0

[Nexus 7 Original Development] AidenM:
Okay, got it working as my primary ROM, and ended up ditching MultiRom because 4.4 was stable enough to be a daily driver.

I assume the only difference between this and the soon to be released factory image is the binaries? Will we be able to simply flash over the stock images without losing data? I read something about it in the other thread that got closed. It mentioned that we could, but I would like it from a credible source.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] koko98:
Is there ANY way to get it working as secondary ROM?

[Nexus 7 Original Development] draggehn:
I got it working with MultiROM by flashing faux kernel. I don't know if any other kernel would work, but faux did it for me.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] koko98:
But how? Install faux for primary Rom and then install the ROM without sharing kernel?

Enviado desde mi LT30p mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 7 Original Development] draggehn:
Exactly.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Install 4.4 as secondary rom then flash Faux to 4.4. Just make sure your main rom has a patched kernel.

First make sure your recovery and MultiRom are up to date!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] koko98:
Ok, I don't know why that happens but will try later. Thanks

It will make a difference, install 16a
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Lar5:
Yes. It wasn't a success. :(

It took about ten min. to prepare 214 apps. After rebooting all apps crashed when launched.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Bronto9:
Strange. On mine only gapps crashed, all the apps I installed(by sideloading, not from the play store) worked perfectly(on a fresh install with no gapps).

To all those asking about Multirom, here's how I got it working as a secondary rom:

simply install it as a secondary rom, selecting the option "Don't share kernel". I used the last version of recovery and multirom from multirom's thread

Yeah for being so early in the game, this thing is surprisingly very stable.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] armyboy11b:
Running fine for me i don't have the keyboard issue ...and in fixed the rotation issue with an app..all good here
[Nexus 7 Original Development] AidenM:
Could you tell us what you did to install + anything you did after? The keyboard issue is something we'd all like to solve.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Leraeniesh:
Keyboard issue is related to GEL. Apex works fine. As far as rotation its been working fine for me without modifications.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] AidenM:
Interesting, thanks. I prefer stock launcher though, so we'll have to live with it until official :P

Did you flash a custom boot.img or kernel for rotation? I'm running only stock zip + gapps flashed, wondering if a kernel can fix this.

Thanks!

[Nexus 7 Original Development] armyboy11b:
Didn't install anything only xda lol but on the galaxy note forums a dev said the keyboard issue is related to a certain DPI setting if my note is set at 240 the keyboard always pops up but anything higher its fine..maybe its the same with our tablets (different DPI than the note ofcourse ) but other than that idk why mines not doing :\ wish I knew bro
[Nexus 7 Original Development] neo45215:
Bit off topic....haven't flashed try the ROM yet.... What I wanna ask is ,is there option for WiFi tether in kit kat for nexus 7??
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dareino:
I setup the ROM on MultiRom as "do not share". Installed Rom and 4.4 gapps...booted up just fine....

My other 4.3 roms are fine too running MKernel 63.1
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
So Mkernel works fine with 4.4? I used Faux because it was just the zimage.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dareino:
I am using the stock kernel that came with this rom...Mkernel is running my 4.3 roms...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] thereal_bigjake:
Oh! Didn't think you could run a secondary rom without using a patched kernel does it have Kexec?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dareino:
Yes.m-kernel is patched...running like a champ...I was surprised how kitkat booted up w/o any probs...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] metaldood:
Works great except the rotation issue. Stock launcher has the keyboard "problem". Should get resolved by using Nova.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] kboya:
I'm liking this early build, been using it around 24hours. Minor gripes, but overall very smooth and stable. KB popup is annoying, but nothing more. Camera is broken/inaccessible. Rotation wasn't an issue for me as I normally use the tab in portrait other than for watching films and one or 2 apps (eg iPlayer radio gives a full listing in landscape). And then thebelow happened after opening Google goggles, mixing landscape and portrait together.

Not in my grouper one (but then why would it), maybe there's a separate build for tilapia with WiFi tether option?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dexviajiboy:
can you confirm kernel working on 4.4? I mean not just booted... I wonder even some JWR kernel cant perform for JSS ROM.. and this on KRT..:confused:

btw I use stock kernel currently... really appriciate your answer, thanks :cyclops:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sgt. meow:
There are no significant kernel changes (maybe in SELinux) as can be noticed yet. As long as a zImage or a boot.img with the 4.4 ramdisk is used, it will do fine.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] poondog:
Kernel sources are out??? :eek: I thought 4.4 brought all these new things like zram etc... which would be kernel side no?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sgt. meow:
Yeah true, but what I meant was it works anyways; the only thing causing hassle is the ramdisk.

And zRAM for 1GB+ devices are pretty much pointless; although for low-end phones like the X8, or the P500 it is a handy feature to have.

And no kernel sources aren't out for the Tegra platform yet.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] poondog:
I agree, unless apps are suddenly going to get heaps bigger on memory footprint, we don't need zram lol but google must have it for a reason...

did you run a log with the old kernel on new ROM? I guess the rom has 4.3 in it anyway but on the One, when you run the wrong kernel (it still may work) it produces a lot of errors but worked fine.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sgt. meow:
I didn't quite understand the last bit, but I tried dmesg and logcat. No *new* error. So nothing that significant I guess.

So guys, are there any screenshots?

I read somewhere that Nexus 7 2013 will get an OTA update the following week (11/4 - 11/10), and this (2012) generation a week after that one.

So let's hope that developers won't have to waist time to get some key functions working until the OTA update.

Is it only mee, but the sound/volume is not manageble as i volume up, it went from nothing to full.

And i thought kernel version 3.4 should be in Android KitKat... as this is in the nexus 5

So is this a full kitkat build or only the os, and not the kernel???
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dexviajiboy:
idk, i think with kernel but not fully build... just ok for runtest while OTA not release yet,

when OTA out, restore stock jwr66y and go with OTA..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] AidenM:
I do believe another way to go about upgrading to "official" 4.4 would be to download the factory image and flash that without losing data.

If I'm incorrect, feel free to correct me.

Yes.. But currently only hammerhead factory image official 4.4 release

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Murrda:
Sorry if this is redundant??

My apologies if this is redundant, I haven't read through all the pages yet and I'm just getting to test some of the KK features now! I am extremely loving this on my Nexus 7 for one!!!! /so far most stuff is working flawlessly.. Only thing I found so far and figured I would report here for others to know and to see if maybe there is a work around for this, or..... Or..... If it just has to do with us using the 4.3 blobs/binaries to run Kit Kat.. Since Google acquired the new co. and us being able to now use Art opposed to Dalvik for runtime, and Art supposedly being way way better for performance purposes and much more optimized for Android I figured I'd give Art a go! Upon reboot it took a minute to optimize all the apps for Art, once it was done and finally reached Android all Google apps and services repeatedly began to force close.

Anyone else experience this? If you were able to get it to work how did you go about it? Basically what I did was flahsed this build using TWRP and added the 4.4 Gapps to the install so it all installed at once. Booted in to Android signed in to Google, downloaded TiBu and restored "all missing apps" that way it didn't overwrite any existing apps with 4.3 versions. Went to settings and switched from Dalvik to Art....

After not being able to use Art I got back to settings in-between all the force closing lol and switched back to Dalvik, rebooted, reoptimized, and back up and running as normal...

How are you guys loving KK?? I can't wait to have it running on my HTC One!!!! Flyhalf I'm sure will have it running real quick!!

Mods if this has been asked and answered already feel free to edit/remove as you see fit. As I said I haven't yet had a chance to read through all the comments. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] wtgserpant:
Does ur rotation work? And also does you keyboard just pop out every time you go into home screen?

These are the only two bugs I have faced, livable but annoying!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] annoyingduck:
Yes it does, some modules don't work. I'm running exposed fine with greenify donate, app settings, and boot manager. X blast and other system mods aren't working.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] lolcopter:
+1 on both of these

sure they'll be fixed soon enough. understandable though, given the quick turnaround time. that said, the overall visuals and UI of kit kat seems like a natural progression of android. i'm a fan of the font and light grey color scheme.

edit: lol, the rotation bug is kinda funny. you can't just rotate the device and have the screen rotate. however, you can enter an app which only uses landscape orientation to force landscape (NFL, DirecTV) and likewise with an app that forces portrait orientation. so there's a functional workaround if you wanted to watch landscape video in firefox like me haha. except now firefox beta keeps crashing... onto the next flash supported browser! (gotta get NFL redzone stream working this morning haha)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] annoyingduck:
Scratch that on exposed... Spoke to soon. Modules keep saying they are not active, sorry.. :p
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Khaiyan:
This has been mentioned a few times but, is there any fixed planned for the patchy gradient? The black background in Settings and other apps is not a smooth gradient...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] ofer6483:
When xposed framework will be compatible with 4.4, you will be able to this this with various modules, gravity is an example, and there is even one dedicated for this function only.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Murrda:
Yeah the keyboard pops up when you hit the home button for Launcher and not Home Sample.. Rotations don't work out of the box however "Xposed Framework" does indeed 100% work.. It's a matter of finding which modules work because not all of them don't. My favorite module for a for the most part stock aosp experience is GravityBox cuz it has mostly everything you would want to customize your ROM.. Grsvity doesn't work but others do like Wanam Module which has some cool features etc etc... You can find modules to force all rotations! Good luck, lemme know if you or anyone else needs help!!

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

Some modules are working.. You just need to figure out which ones. If they don't activate then they need to be updated to 4.4 if they activate you are good.... Some of them are activating....

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

Oh so yeah I haven't tested Wanam yet I was just using that as an example... I believe I'm using XuiMod Module..

Anybody having issues with Exchange? I can set up my account just fine, but then after it's added, it won't receive new mail unless I close the email app. Also, even though I have the calendar selected to sync, it doesn't show up in the Calendar app. I got it to show up one time after wiping and reinstalling, but I'm not sure what was different. I've wiped several times, cleared data, cleared cache, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] AidenM:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] scubastevegk:
I'm using the same. I've tried two different Exchange servers, too - one 2003 and one 2010. I'm downloading the GApps again, even though my MD5 checked out - grasping at straws, I know, but at this point, why not?

Edit:

Now that I look in the ZIPs, Email.apk and Exchange2.apk are part of the ROM, and not the GApps. My ROM MD5 also checks out, but maybe I'll give that a fresh download too.

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

Some more information:

Full wipe with freshly downloaded copies of the ROM and GApps. Did nothing but sign into my Google account and then add my Exchange account. Mail account downloaded my inbox, Calendar does not see the Exchange calendar. I deleted a bunch of emails from my inbox, and watched the account in OWA for a few minutes - the messages never deleted. I swiped away the Email app to close it, and IMMEDIATELY upon doing that, the messages I deleted went away in OWA. This, to say the least, is bizarre!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] oakleyguy89:
Thank you, I didn't see the search this thread, just saw search the forums.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] scubastevegk:
I think I might know what's happening - I dug into the ActiveSync logs on my server, and it looks like my tablet is syncing my entire Sent Items folder, which contains 10+ years of mail. If memory serves me correctly, this is new behavior for 4.4. I know in the past, I've wanted to find something in my Sent Items from my phone, and I would go to that folder on the device, and it would be empty and start downloading at that point. Apparently in 4.4 it's proactively downloading it at the time of account setup. It also doesn't look like (at least at a first glance) that there's any way to tell the Email app to NOT do this. I'm wondering if once it finishes synchronizing all of this, if things might start working...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] drewski_1:
There's an option for number of days to sync in the Email app. Is that set to "All"?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] scubastevegk:
Yeah, it is - that's how I've always had it set in the past. It looks like there's different behavior in 4.4, so I need to change some things. I like seeing my whole inbox, so I always left the numbers of days to download set to All. What I never found before now was the "Sync options" on the menu when you're in individual folders that you can change how many days are synced for that particular folder. I deleted the whole account, reset it up for syncing only the last week of messages by default, and then changed the Inbox to sync all. The account setup went fine, once the now very small download finished, new messages are being pushed properly, and the calendar is visible. So it seems like now with a new Exchange account, the app will download the specified amount of messages in all folders instead of just the inbox, and will not process anything new until that download is done. Thanks for your help!
