[MENTION=4065411]ajf64[/MENTION] - I was searching around xda's broke *** search ( [MENTION=3964321]Xda F[/MENTION]ix your search engine's regex(s) to include adjacent double quotes) engine for a fix for the browser. Finally found what I was looking for: MWisBest's Fix the "Black Boxes" thread. On the last page (3) there's a link to a post by metalspring with commits for 4.4 graphics fixes including black box issue. I'm not sure if you ran past this yet, but it should definitely be useful or solve the issue if you haven't. ( I still can't believe MWisBest's thread titled 'KitKat: Fixing The "Black Boxes", among other things' didn't show up searching for either "black" or "box" by itself | filtered to "title search" | filtered to MWisBest "author" on xda search...seriously. That's why I've never tried to be a useless dickweed replying to someone's question with a redirection to a search engine. )

My mileage has been f***in great with this rom so far. I'm definitely sticking with this. The base is just so goddamn stable and detailed with very updated binaries. The lz4c compressor CLI bin was compiled on 2014-02-05. This is amazingly fast and functional btw. The other day I ran some tests to compare compression pipeline of a cpio.lz4 archive to the usual tar.gz; I archived my entire /system directory to somewhere in /sdcard multiple times. The results were pretty amazing: cpio.lz4 was about 3x faster (~7+MB/s) compared to tar.gz (~2+MB/s) with roughly the same end compression archive size; both error checked, lz4c at stock 1x compression. For cpio.lz4 compression I basically just used

find /system -depth | cpio -H newc -o | lz4c -fz > /sdcard/system.cpio.lz4

. It's really fast, I definitely want to crank out some lz4 filesystem tools now similar to zgrep and friends. The binary has a pretty nice full man page too to brush off the cmdline fear. This is gonna be really useful for backing s*** up super fast so I thought I'd post my findings, also this an excellent candidate for increasing bandwidth via a compression | decompression pipeline over a network.

Couple things more using-the-phone-related people might find helpful: --

The stock lean kernel works with pgm and touch control

-- I'm using pgm. I was able to cross-breed this with Grarak's voluptuous Romswitcher ramdisk for a lean pgm-multi-boot-superuser-recovery-kernel. It's working real nice. I'll post it if anyone wants to check it out. The Synapse app won't load up but manual volume-click booting works.

I highly recommend downloading Xposed Installer, then immediately grabbing GravityBox from the app's depository. This will add-in (app_process function override) almost any feature you're looking for, definitely my favorite Xposed module / app. The set of options with the latest version goes pretty in-depth, and this is the only thing/rom/app/not-script I've seen that adds the AOKP navbar cursors back from 4.3 and earlier. They work perfectly too; sms or terminal, etc. The AppOpsXposed module makes app-ops quasi-security accessible in settings(use Xprivacy to actually secure the phone). The other module I'd add is Xposed Preference INjector; it adds a list of your Xposed modules in the settings. Remember you can always just disable a module or the framework to completely un-mod your sexy cfx installation.
