Yes. It is clean because I have installed it separately.

I'm dual booting 4.3 and 4.4, but I don't think that would be an issue because KitKat is a separate entity in the memory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RajatPatel:
Oh yeah, this happened to me too, i forgot :p

I did a workaround actually. Installed whatsapp while in dalvik and then switched to ART and viola!! It worked :D

Missing Titanium Backup on ART btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd3993:
Delete the /data/data/com.whatsapp folder and try installing whatsapp again. Should solve your problem! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RajatPatel:
I'm not actually that much into this dual booting thing, so I'm not aware what kernel does it uses. The kernel that comes with ROM or the multiboot kernel? It must be multiboot kernel, no?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LiquidXed:
C.. I believe the multiboot kernel is a loader that then loads a seperate kernel for each rom..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gabboplano:
So, I come from PA, and I can say that this ROM is one of the best ROMs I've ever tried. No freezes and reboots, no strange bugs, with Mpogank and ART my GNexus just flies. And I used to get ~320 mb of free RAM with PA, now I get ~420. Same apps. Same kernel. This is crazy. Battery life seems better too, but I'm still testing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kergefarkas:
I just flashed this ROM, running with stock kernel at the moment, but it seems a bit smoother than CM10.2 with franco.Kernel. But this was a clean install, which always speeds up the system, but so far so good. ART works like a charm, only Sound Search crashes on me. But you can disable it, so that is not a problem if you don't use it anyway.

But no glitches, only one freeze on first boot with CM Account manager.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jac0verflow:
This rom is just incredible: flashed it today, with ART-compatible gapps suggested in the OP, I'm really impressed.

I forgot the meaning of the word "lag", believe me: everything runs smooth and pretty fast (using stock kernel). I enabled ART, disabled Google Sound Search (which FCs using ART) and installed a decent number of apps.

The Webview fix easily made this rom my daily driver, for sure. Yeah, there are still minor screen artifacts while rotating, taking a screenshot and switching off the screen, but overall the experience is above any 4.3 based.

Thank you so much for your hard work! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vetala:
Better than the SlimBean addon is this http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291677856

I flashed it and ended with a perfect 4.4 camera with working photosphere.

Dalvik, not ART, at least I haven't tried.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
umm dialer looks new & different to me. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fux0r99:
If only titanium backup didn't crash with art, would be perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dudeman1996:
That doesn't sound right to me. When I used this ROM and it would freeze up and reboot, I never used to pull out the battery because it would reboot on its own, yet I would still get those battery drops, often between 5-20%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] parasetam0l:
what about whatsapp ? anybody ?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47604251&postcount=77

i tried this solution but every system program gave fc after boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zamzameir:
can anyone confirm me, I'm on PRIMELC03 (4.2.2) Bootloader,isit safe to flash this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyYan:
Yes yes and yes. I have PRIMELC03 and have been flashing KitKat ROMs since day one. (You shouldn't ask this everywhere...)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martin707:
Not bad for an alpha! I might settle for this as a daily driver
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zamzameir:
Thank you for answering and sorry..i kinda new :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
its been bumped to beta and no real reason it cant be called stable. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sdzbwxp:
great rom

This rom should absolutely be called stable, as it is more stable than all 4.3 roms I used. I didn't use ART, but everything works, and no reboot whatsoever. Things can only get better from here..:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcsww:
And faux123 is working on a 4.4 kernel for the Galaxy Nexus. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
hes not alone lol

Are you running it?? if so how is it?

and technically its a 3.4 kernel. kernel version has nothing really to do with android version. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
Not out yet, he's teasing it by putting a kitkat folder on his website.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcsww:
No but this was left in his thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
ah, wonder if hes any closer than asop, dhacker29 and the gang are.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
Well it might be a 3.0 kernel. I just meant he's teasing something for kitkat. It may not be a 3.4... unless you've got some insider information haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
I been told a 3.4 kernel is being worked on as well as updating the current kernel. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tb5...:
can't wait for a proper kernel.

battery life is the only downside of this rom imo.

i assume a 4.4 kernel will help with this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andriodee:
Oh, I haven't even noticed, lol. I'm so used to them being 4.3 that I just flash the new dialer after I flash the ROM and Gapps.

But speaking of Gapps – I'm running dhacker's and I'm on ART; what's the fix for the Google Search error again?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
It's okay ;)

Just know that on Gnex, which boot loader version you run isn't really a concern (in my experience)

Just always try to be on latest custom recovery version for us tuna(gnex) users and you should be all good.

We all know what it's like to be "new"

:D

I've found the main thing to concern yourself with is your custom recovery version. (Whether you use TWRP or CWM(r)) you will want to try your best to stay up to date with that. If there is ever any specific reason you should update/change bootloader version you can be sure the info will be prevalent in instructions or thread replies. :D have fun modding buddy!

Sorry for ot all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
Oh that wasnt due to gapps or src, that was due to java not being fully set to use java 6 on my PC, thus causing issues in the ROM. Once I had all that straightened out the issues was gone. So most likely if I had all that right to start with, we'd had builds on par with dhacker29's a couple days before his. Grant it tho, dhacker29 and others did alot behind the scenes etc etc that got us where we are today. I am basically just building from cm repos now. At first I had a mixed matched bag of poo that happened to work. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sabby06990:
99% working Awesomely

Flashed this rom yesterday .. and flashed gapps from dhacker29 and Everything is working just fine !! only problem yet is the battery issue especially when using 3G and when rotating the screen tears.. but that doesnt define any conlusion .. this is by far the most stable kitkat rom till 22/11/13 ... kuddos for the developer team :good: .. This rom gets better and better everytime :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fux0r99:
20131120 build + kk 20131113 gapps I get lag on apps like facebook just using dalvik runtime not art.I think its due to the screen glitch fix, instead of black it goes white now then after a few seconds renders the screen to scroll normally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lesp4ul:
Thanks dev, seems most of the bugs are fixed. Waiting for xposed update first so i can adjust the dpi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shockerz1z:
try using this gapps http://d-h.st/mDt its gapps-kk-20131119

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kostas1601:
You're using mpokang kernel aren't you? Only way you could b getting so much free ram...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Driver007:
apps whit glitches just FC like feedly, google+...on aosp browser black boxes in other hand works quite well, didn't had reboots while testing oh and root access has problems so it needs to be flashed manually
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] niallmcg:
So is ART actually working? or does it just cause mass crashing like on AOSP?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
kernel and device_samsung_maguro from cm (I created an cm-11.0 branch for it), device tuna and vendor from slimrom.

I will add links to each src repo later tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ballubas:
Dirty flash worked for me coming from previous nightlies on cm10.2, I just flashed ROM, pa gapps, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, rebooted and all was good!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HyvelTjuven:
Does anyone know the cause of the graphical issues and if it will be possible to fix them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gkilah:
GPU/CPU binaries are outdated ( to old )

I think will be fixed at some point. Alot of devs & teams working hard to get it fixed.

Linaro started working,

Alot of XDA devs and i think CM Team its working to make it working without any issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robkoehler:
Pick a thread and read. Same problem in every 4.4 ROM. I've had a few beers and refuse to answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julian.kueh:
Installed this ROM a few hours ago. Went smoothly. Gmail force closing. Deleted using root explorer and reinstalled via Play. Still force closing. Otherwise no problems. Thanks OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] youStolemylaptop:
So, since you guys call the black boxes in browser WebView or w/e. is anyone else getting the black boxes in gmail / google search / instagram / reddit is fun / etc? Because webview made me leave 4.4 for now :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd3993:
Could someone please post a flashable zip of the superuser binaries? The ones included seem to be faulty. :/

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RajatPatel:
Shall anyone using this ROM have a say about random reboots? How frequent they are?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cano IV:
Have you experience any random freeze with this rom??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
I've not had any freezes or random reboots... yet. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cano IV:
thats great, I have installed PA AOSP 4.4 and i got like 2 or 3 freeze per day. I will think to change to this rom:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RajatPatel:
Oh that's good....will definitely try this :thumbup:

I can live with other bugs but reboots are battery eater....I easily lost 5% or more battery on each reboot on other kitkat ROMs...that's why I'm more concerned about reboots. And ya, if i had to pull battery due to freeze, then its 20% down :banghead:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
my biggest issues is gmail fc'ing lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Boytrix:
Gmail was crashed, Google+ was Crash ed :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lolobabes:
Our galaxy nexus lives on! ahihihihi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oct_7:
phone refused to wake up

Happened to me twice today. Both while receiving text. The power button could not wake up the phone, I had to take out the battery. It happened both when I was using dalvik and art.

Any idea?

Great ROM btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
battery life?? I'm getting great battery life, at least as good if not better than it ever did previously. Grant it I'm not doing stuff on my phone 24/7. I check/read emails, check g+, call/text and I can get 24+ hours with that usage.

you can change the density in the build.prop with any good root explorer. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
When are you planning to add the quick settings (tiles) modification? :)

That's good to know. will download and try it, then get back to you if there is something abnormal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lesp4ul:
I know man, but i don't like it messed up all the apps ahha, i like PA like hybrid props, so far xposed module is the closest yet. So I'll patiently wait :D:highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shazmn:
hi sorry to interrupt...if i were to install this, coming from 4.3...should i flash any kernel or this build already have the kernel included?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
cm kernel included and reported to be the stablest. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bush911:
sorry for off topic question: what does OP mean?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shazmn:
cool...4.4 on the way
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kergefarkas:
Okay, I lost a lot of sleep but I messed around a bit with this ROM last night. Here are the most important things I guess:

- yes, there are glitches when rotating and a bit of a lag there, but nothing you can't live with. I think 4.3 had the same rotation lag now & then.

- when I flashed Mpokang-CM I got stuck in limbo and had to make a factory reset (no reflashing ROM saved me). but I never had any luck with Mpokang so...

- the dialer is new and I kinda dig it, you can reorder the favorite contacts etc, but you can't customize who appear under the All Contacts tab (thanks Google)

- ART vs Dalvik: well, ART needs a ~half an our to get rid of the lags at least, but now it seems smoother. Animations and loading time is faster, smoother than on 4.3, switch takes like a good 15 minutes with 130 apps

- ART: Superuser (inbuilt) fails, TTS (inbuilt) fails, but Google Now works like on the Nexus 5 - though TTS crashes make it stop from opening an app, so you might want to disable TTS feedback or output or whatever it is called when the phone talks back and says "Opening app"

- ART: Sound search crashes, other GApps work fine

- ART: Viber, BBM works (I don't use other means of VoIP IM,and I hate those two as well, but friends...)

- Hangouts with SMS: restoring Messaging storage with Helium failed (on Dalvik). Process runs, but no actual messages are restored.

- The "one second" lag is gone, at least on ART: the system seems to immediately respond to any touch events, like opening app or app drawer. This is a huge improvement.

Now let's flash new build :)

Thanks everyone who is working on this ROM, you are awesome :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
Original Post and/or Original Poster. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shazmn:
sorry to interrupt again...so is it safe to flash gapps with ART or for the time being Dalvik seems more reliable?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kergefarkas:
well, I'd say it is safe, at least at my end everything works fine with ART just as with Dalvik on 4.3

and I even got Photosphere working with installing the early Nexus 5 dump Camera apk :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vetala:
Flashing right now, I can only say thank you! Every day better. Galaxy Nexus will live forever.:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kergefarkas:
2013.11.22 build brings back Quick Toggles customization and inbuilt superuser works with ART (CM made some changes to the SU daemon on 11.21, I guess it fixed it). Dirty flashing over previous build keeps ART runtime as default, if set before.

Bug: QT battery tile displays 0% constantly, but the battery pictogram seems to represent the approx. value.

Edit: nope, now it displays proper %.

Bug #2: Location toggle always says off, long pressing brings up the settings where it says on.

Taking screenshot shows glitches, but not on the actual pic. Using ART takes a lot of time to boot, probably 2x Dalvik boot time.

Keep it up! :)

Edit #2: Simple Last.FM crashes on ART, but PowerAMP and music playback works good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aini12aian:
Does this have the kernel 3.0.101?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd3993:
2g/3g toggle doesn't work! Will keep testing and reporting other bugs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
yea the screenshot glitch has been there from the start, but like you said the actual pic is fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vetala:
yes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
did it ever work??? I never used it b4. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shriom_manerker:
haha it worked fine on cm10.2 :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
they may have just added stuff, which had the layout for that, but not got to the function stuff for it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd3993:
yeah worked absolutely fine before :)

would you please look into it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
I'm sure the cm team is on it already. Its prolly not isolated to the gnex. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sveex:
I dirty flash update, gapps and mpokang kernel each time the new build is out, is it ok?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
yea, just like doing a update now. ;)

actually shouldnt have to reflash gapps. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sveex:
Shouldnt i? According to my past experience, every time i dont flash gapps i got force closes of everything on boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kergefarkas:
Multitasking is sick with this ROM: on CM10.2 I had to close the apps now & then when they reached around 7-8 in order to get some performance back, but now it is not needed. Around 20 open apps is where the performance starts to drop noticeably.

And I have only ~210MB RAM free with a lot of BG processes and sync enabled, with default kernel and ART.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nischalnischal:
the only thing i find missing is Volume Button Wake option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thesebastian:
Anyone know how to disable transparent notification and navigation bars?

My gnex LCD is all killed (faulty display) and i see horrible white lines at the top / bottom, except with a black color.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bush911:
Is this rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bubble-be:
Use another non-kitkat launcher. Apex 2.1 for instance.

Funny that's the thing most users *do* want. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sik-1:
You can use apex launcher as it isn't updated to the kit kat look yet, which I find much better looking any who, enjoy

How long have you had your gnex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] migueldbr:
no need to remove transparency, you can easily fix the burn in on your amoled. It happened the same to me on my galaxy S2. Just use this app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bari_ikutsu.oled_ageing&hl=pt_PT ) to burn in the statusbar (because of the statusbar always being black, the rest of the screen has suffered burn-in, so use that app with maximum brightness for like 2 hours a day and the white will cause burn in on the statusbar and then you will not see the white line anymore). It really works! For the navigation bar i dont know how to do it, because the S2 didnt have navigation bar, but maybe create a black wallpaper with only the navbar white and open it on the gallery with maximum brightness for like 2 hours a day. in 4/5 days of doing that, the white lines will vanish. Try it;)

Edit: found a better app for our Nexus. try this---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bengigi.screen.diagnostic

the repair function puts the statusbar and navbar white. Use it on full brightness for a couple of hours a day until you dont notice the burn in anymore;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kostheback:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thesebastian:
After updating to the new build (20131122) --> reinstalling the (same) gapps --> wiping cache partition (not the data partition) -> wiping dalvik cache; I solved my issue with the lockscreen camera and the black screen :good:

(And i had another issue before, sometimes i needed to press the PWR button twice to wakeup the phone from deep sleep. I'm sure it will be fixed now :fingers-crossed:).

dhacker29's gapps can be used by dalvik as well,right????:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sik-1:
Smh we have been running dalvik since android started, ART is the new kid on the block
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creeve4:
Deleted, problem solved
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcsww:
Yes. In order to enable ART, you have to enable the Developer options, choose to use ART, and then the device will reboot. It will take about 3 to 5 minutes for the phone to reboot but it has a snappiness that Davlik doesn't have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd3993:
anyone getting occasional crashes with com.android.core.gapps? or something like that? sorry i forgot the exact name
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kostas1601:
I get these too when I'm on ART... That's mainly the reason I don't use it... :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcsww:
I have never had a crash on ART. I am using faux123's 34m-sr kernel though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foosion:
Chrome identified the rom as dangerous ("appears malicious"). No issue with Firefox or Internet Explorer

I couldn't sideload using fastboot - error: closed.

Installed fine with TWRP 2.6.3.1

The only problems I've noticed:

- rotating the screen. Some thin black lines appear on the screen and rotation takes a bit longer than usual. Once the page is done loading, whether landscape or portrait, it looks fine. Obviously I'm not the only one

- there seems to be a slight vibration on most typing in apps, even though settings - sound - Vibrate on touch is unchecked. If it's checked, every touch vibrates, not just in apps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GoSooners345:
Are you using odexed gapps?

The boss is here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saumil25:
I'm stuck on the Google logo :/

Followed the steps as op.

Have the latest TWRP.

Is there anything I can do? Maybe sideload another ROM?

Or should I just flash the factory image?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kisrita:
I am still unable to get WiFi tether to work. I can set it up, I can connect to it from another device, but it does not provide internet access to the other device.

I have reflashed today's version after wiping data, cache and dalvik cache. I also reflashed gapps (version for ART).

I did nothing else. No other apps installed, no other setting changed. I have prepaid Tmobile, and data works fine. I'm able to use the same sim card to WiFi tether from an older phone with another custom ROM (and it also worked with cm 10.2 on my GNex).

I thought WiFi tether didn't work on yesterday's version because I dirty flashed it, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RajatPatel:
Link please!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcsww:
The link to his thread and his kernel is in my signature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kostas1601:
yes I am... today I decided to give ART another shot... I wiped cache, dalvik cache, flashed the odexed apps, then rebooted, turned on ART, system rebooted by itself, and then everything was laggy, and at some points different things kept crashing...

Really weird how everyone is so satisfied with ART...I can't get it to work properly...It makes my phone laggy as hell
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
My short and sweet review - Clean install of the 22nd November build

1. No Reboots even on heavy multitasking - I'm using Mpokang 1080p kernel

2. Webview glitches gone indeed

3. Scrolling is definitely faster in KitKat than Jellybean

4. SystemUI lags. The statusbar lags when pulled down and also when switched to toggles - this is the only thing annoying me, and annoying a lot.

I haven't tried ART yet even though I'm on dhacker's gapps because I don't have a good feeling about the stability of ART
