Running perfect for me aside from two small problems: no screenshots, it shows an error "couldn't save screenshot storage may be in use," and the running app previews are all blank. The latter I don't care too much about, but I'd really like my screenshots to work. Otherwise, smoothest ROM overall so far, no data problems or freezes yet!

Pixilated transitions are gone in the new build. :-D Not many other changes I can find.

Where are you going to get updates? The earlier link is not showing updates is it?

I'm using ART just to try it out, and it really does make a difference. There are comparison videos on youtube that show the difference in load time. For me, and all of us on our Bionics, I feel it smooths the transitions between apps more than anything else. Quadrant Standard showed the highest score I've seen with my bionic without overclocking: 3506. Before enabling ART, it was 2987. I know benchmarking isn't something to go by in terms of actual daily use, but it's a real difference. Sorry, can't take a screen shot to show those numbers while on this rom, but I've got no reason to lie

 

So far, and this is just me, I've had no force closes. I've been using this rom for the entire day with ART. I've literally opened every app then checked my RAM usage, and barely hit 70%, whereas I was typically scraping for it on stock JB. That may just be Kit Kat, though.

Are you talking about the art gapps? Or something else?

He's referring to the ART runtime that is set to eventually replace dalvik. There have been quite a few articles talking about it. I don't know why it wasn't working for me... Maybe I'll try it again to see if having the rom running for a day or so makes any difference

How are you activating this?  I don't see the developer option in setup.

Couple of pages back. About phone, tap something 10 times. I think maybe build #. I didn't see a choice i n dev options

got it!  Thanks.  Has anyone else had trouble with the last couple of dailys of 10.2?  After I load them the phone bootloops.

I gave up on the 10.2 builds after the 11/9 nightly as they seem to have a memory leak problem on CM 4.3 that affects my nexus tablet too, not just the kexec rom builds. Try the cm 11 unofficial from dhacker. I don't think you will be disappointed.

I've also got cm11 running on one of the slots.  I don't see any big advantages over 4.1.2 stock although it's fun to play with.  It seems to have gps and memory assignment problems for me.  I tried ART but ran into insufficient memory problems.  Maybe I will delete the slot that I have cm10.2 on and try again.

11/25 is up this morning. Wonder what it fixes. Flash it it a bit after I get to work!

Saw dhacker post screen graphics and screen shot fixed

Ya, I'm more concerned with 3g. I rarely take screen shots. But 3g is an absolute make or break for me out here in GODS country.

[terrapin01]

Can someone post a link to the 9/26 nightly? Based on everything I have read here, that seems to be one of the most stable releases, so I would like to try to use that as my DD. Much appreciated.

Looks like 1% battery mod is back in this one as well

[eanes_87]

Getting a RAZR M tomorrow, I hate leaving my bionic right when it gets kit kat :/. Free phone from my sister, been having screen issues with the old bionic. It's been fun though.

Got it under settings but not 1% on home screen. Is there a way to enable it?

As far as I can tell, no. But at least it is being reported. I have the battery stats in the quick settings menu and have that set with a quick pull down. So to see the % I just have to look there. I also have battery monitor widget installed which has the % there as well. I think that adjusting the way the battery notification looks is normally under interface in settings which currently only holds quick settings panel and notification drawer. There are still a lot of things to be added before it has all of the customization most of us are used to with CM, but it seems each nightly adds things back in a few at a time.

 

I've been running in ART which I find really nice. If you want to do the same, be aware that there are a few apps that don't work. For example, TiBu will not work with ART for now. I've also had some issues with Sound Search for Google Play saying it stopped and the Wikipedia app won't work the first time, but I can open it up right after trying the first time without a problem.
