This is now my official DD. Props Jermaine! Hopefully sometime in the future you can fix the ART issue? I tried it earlier today and, lets just say it didn't really end well. For some reason it kept spamming process.gapps has crashed and a whole bunch of FC's. But, Dalvik is still working pretty good so far!

[MENTION=2672626]jermaine151[/MENTION] I wanna report 2 small bugs:

I cannot disable profiles. When i do so it comes back on. No big deal because i can leave it on default profile.

Also vibration intensity setting resets after reboot.

ART

Got one question - what is the ART?. I know the Dalvik is emulator, but do not know what is the ART and what is doing. Thanks for the rom. Downloading now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
For some reason the battery is mysteriously draining in the background. I have no idea what's causing it because 4.4 is incompatible with BBS. I also don't use Google keyboard, so that cancels out that wake lock.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
Did you disable the google keyboard? If not, try it.

Hey guys just a heads up. I found an odexed version of the PA gapps made by TKruzze.

here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47274506&postcount=721

been testing it out the last hr with ART it runs noticeably faster. Also ran antutu and quadrant before and after and both benchmarks increased (4158 to 5045 on quadrant and 16231 to 16513 on antutu). Also none of the force closes like before.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
Yes, I did. That was the first thing I did in fact. Although, the biggest drain for the battery on the stats was the screen. Other things like Phone Idle, and Android OS where small percentages like 1 or 2 %.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lowlife546:
I should add that there are some apps that do not work with ART, such as titanium backup. Found a list of apps that are currently broken here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1qbko3/art_broken_apps/

Keep in mind ART is experimental and not widely used yet so i'm sure the app devs are working on it and shouldn't be rated negatively or harassed about it.

Can I use the latest TWRP or do we need to use CWM? I'm probably going to flash this after work tonight. Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] liesnomore:
The latest CWM is a "pain in the butt" as come as .img file. I had to convert to .tar.md5 to use in Odin. I found helpful article here http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2013/04/android-how-to-convert-img-recovery-to.html for conversion.

I Settings, I press on "Daydreams" and the phone lock up. I had to pull battery out. I am back to 4.3 as I need the front camera for Skype. I notice a better performance. I flashed minimum gapps. If someone need the new CMW 6.0.4.3, I will try to attach to this post. It is touch and for tmob only.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
That would be too much like supporting this rom. :p I may put one up with the next build.

The way I flash .img recoveries is pretty easy. Rename it to recovery.img, put it on the root of your sdcard and use adb or terminal emulator to run these commands:

(A TYPO COULD END UP IN A BRICK SO DON'T MAKE A TYPO!!!)

su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Done!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] liesnomore:
Well, I learned something new again, I was under the impression that recovery can be flash from Odin or bootloader. Since, the S3 do not have a bootloader, the only option was the Odin. dd to a block is dangerous as any mistyping number can brick the phone for good. Odin is the safe way for most of the users. I had the HTC One S and use fastboot and adb a lot. Still learning the Samsung devices.

Thanks for the rom.

---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

I flashed the new recovery and did back up. Wipe everything and flash the kitkat. Back to recovery and flash the gapps. Play with the rom for a while and then wipe everything again. Run restore from recovery and then notice that some of my apps were missing. There got to be some filesystem difference betwine 4.3 and 4.4.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sam_1421:
Do you see a big difference between ART and dalvik? I know users on the Nexus 5 say it's much faster, but I didn't see feedback yet about ART on our device, if it really adds much
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
I used it for the brief amount of time that I could and it is noticeably smoother and faster. I couldnt use it at all because there are so many broken apps. Especially TiB.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chefedogg:
Needs tethering fix before I can test please?!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yanikd:
It does feel smoother, but that could also be a placebo effect. I don't see a big difference quite frankly, but since all my apps works, I'll stay on ART for the time being. I'll go back to davlik next week to get a better feel of the 2.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Then don't test it. You either test and help us out with feedback or refrain from posting please. This upsets me you'd make a request on a beta when he said he didn't even want to officially support this, they're still some features broken granted that should and I'm sure will take precedence over this. That being said go try an app like Foxfi. No guarantee this will work. If you need tethering for fact, try Touchwiz.

Op you sir are doing a very sexy job. Tanks.

Alright man! This ROM is an absolute success all thanks to you! This ROM can definitely be used as a daily driver!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lowlife546:
Sorry to hear that man maybe you have an app thats not working quite right with kitkat. I was actually about to report really good battery life. In fact, my battery over the past 2 months has been so bad trying different roms, different kernels, different cpu governors etc. that I was pretty much set on getting a nexus 5. Running this rom the last 2 days I've seen a remarkable improvement so far. Hopefully it continues.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Quarmzz:
Mmmm I'm using very 'usual' apps; WhatsApp, Twitter, Instapaper, BBC News, Instagram, you know, those social networking apps. They didn't use to cause any wakes on 4.3. (BTW WakeLock Detector isn't working on KitKat, at least for me)

Well excuse me sir, that was my feedback, tethering not working, I apologize for mis-posting.

Thanks to MethodKull, a new member that can't post, I think I know why. If you're using the Google keyboard, emoji aren't working. If you're using swiftkey, like I am, they're there. They don't show up when you send them, though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MrFunEGUY:
I can also confirm that the Google Keyboard is the issue. I just used the Fleksy keyboard and was able to see all Emojis. However, as already stated, you still cant see them after you've typed or sent them.

I noticed the dialer has the new look, but is devoid of any business search capability. I wonder why Google would want to keep this proprietary and i'm betting it's a nexus 5 exclusive.

BTW, great ROM. Loving it so far.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xObey:
I think the emoji's not working in hangouts because Google incorporated it into the system, so emoji's aren't built into the app anymore like have it was in 4.3 and below. Just like how GO SMS and the CM 10.2 SMS built it into the app and not the system. I think the only way to make it show up in the hangouts app is to fix it so it shows up systemwide.

*Just my opinion on the issue
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
Okay guys. I guess it's a 2 part fix. If you want emoji everywhere, in the AOSP and Google keyboards, you need to install THIS font into /system/fonts, set permissions to 0644 (User RW, Group R, Others R) and reboot.

Thanks to [MENTION=2808174]RMarkwald[/MENTION] for sending this to me! That's my bud!

Alright, tried again, I'm getting signal but getting blocked by Tmobile, that's actually what happened the first time I flashed.

Confirming that this works!? And does anyone know how to get root back on ART?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisG683:
As the title states, I was wondering if anyone out there happens to know why restoring an app+data from Titanium Backup after a Factory Reset causes Push Messages (GCM I believe) to stop working. It seems fairly obvious that when restoring an app+app data from a previous installation, they get confused and the push messages aren't being delivered to the right place.

So far the only solution that I've found to the problem is to wipe the app's data, and restart from scratch.

I've done a lot of Google searching, and I have seen that there are a handful of other people who have had this same problem, but I have yet to see anyone come up with a working solution, though there have been a few things I've tried. This is my normal procedure I do when I upgrade/flash a new rom:

-Backup with Titanium Backup
-Backup with GO Backup
-Nandroid with TWRP
-Factory Reset
-Flash ROM
-Wipe Cache/Dalvik
-Boot
-Sign into Google Account
-Install Titanium Backup
-Restore previous Android ID
-Reboot
-Use Titanium Backup to restore Apps+AppData, as well as some system settings
-Reboot

At this point, some of my GCM push notifications don't work. The only way I can get them to work again is to wipe the app's data and start from scratch. I have tried the following things, none of which worked, but they might provide helpful information.

-Wiped the app data, restored the app data by itself again.
-Uninstalled the app, installed from Google Play, restored app data.
-Used Application Manager to disable notifications, then re-enabled.
-Went into the app's settings to disable notifications, then re-enabled.
-Cleared data on Google Services Framework
-Removed Google Account, cleared data on Google Services Framework, rebooted.
[B] (This actually had an even worse side effect of re-breaking GCM push
notifications for all of the apps I had fixed by hand)[/B]

At this point I'm at a loss, I'm not sure what else to try. It kind of looks like the Google Account/GSF is related to GCM. I don't remember exactly, but I think I tried restoring the previous GSF App+Data on my most recent flash, and it still didn't work.

Anyways, I'm kind of rambling, if anyone is able to provide any insight or help, it would be greatly appreciated!

----------------------------------------------------------

In case anyone is interested, here's some lists of the affected/unaffected apps.

It DOES affect the following:

Accuweather
American Express
Bejeweled
CBS Sports

Add me to the annoyance list.

I can't figure out how to get SSG2 to notify me, and that's not an app I want to clear data on as it will lose my level saves.

Voxer also has this problem.

Interestingly enough, the Risk style game LandRule has a way to refresh the Google sync services and it works perfectly.

Multiplayer->Notifications->Having trouble...->Refresh Registration.

Very handy tool to have available, need to find a way to spread to other apps!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thereverend999:
Try removing and re-adding your Google account. After trying a few things, this either fixed it for me, or was just coincidental timing.

I do see that you tried this... but do it without clearing GSF data.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike_jnz:
So glad I found this!

I had been researching why Voxer lost GCM notifications, with no luck and getting frustrated. Eventually stumbled across this thread and problem solved. Back story: two days ago I flashed a factory image and restored user apps & data from TiB. Never would have guessed that any thing to do with GCM "breaking". But sure enough after reading this, I cleared data in Voxer and all is well.

God bless XDA for all the little things like this. Couldn't own a phone without it.

We could really use some type of GCM interface to relink or whatever, if that's possible. Maybe even TiB would be a great vehicle for that?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaymino:
OK I'm confused. So this problem is not solved?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike_jnz:
Solved my particular problem with Voxer by clearing data. Problem with it breaking to begin with not solved.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanpr123:
So, interesting update for folks in this thread.

My push notifications in SSG have finally been fixed with the latest update.

Now I don't know if it's because something in the update fixed it or because the act of updating from the Playstore re-synced with you/Google.

Will be interesting to check next time I flash a ROM and start from scratch. Will certainly be keeping an older version of the apk to update from if needed ;)
