- Uses a minimalistic kernel patched for AOSP from scratch by me (Sultan kernel Pure; kernel details can be found in the 3rd post)
- Kernel is based off of SebastianFM's Overclocked kernel v1.5.2
- 620MB of usable RAM
- Self-powered USB OTG
- Uses Ion memory allocator for everything: audio, display, video playback, camera, etc.
- CAF KitKat Ion, framebuffer, and video controller drivers
- CAF Jelly Bean GPU drivers
- CAF KitKat media and display HALs
- Hardware vsync
- No Maps 7 glitches, Google Chrome glitches, Browser glitches, Gmail glitches, etc.
- SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) enabled and set to Enforcing for better security
- Uses the newest Adreno (graphics) libraries and firmware available for our platform (Android 4.2 binaries)
- MTP
- Adreno libraries version: AU_LINUX_ANDROID_JB_VANILLA_04.02.02.060.051
- 4.0.0056HMQ RIL
Working:
- Camera
- Camcorder
- Video playback
- VoIP
- VPN
- Native USB OTG mounting
- Screenshot
- Recent apps switching
- MTP
- Audio
- Mobile network
- All sensors (accelerometer, proximity sensor, etc. work)
- GPS
- Everything else, as long as it isn't listed as a bug
Major bugs:
- No major bugs
Minor bugs:
- Some issues with VoIP reported (this happens with all KitKat ROMs on the Sensation)
- Shortcuts for apps stored on SD card disappear from the launcher homescreen after a reboot (also happens with all KitKat ROMs on the Sensation)
Installation:
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to do a standard full wipe (factory reset: wipe /cache and /data) if you are coming from a different ROM, then install the ROM and gapps for Android 4.4. If you're coming from a CM10.2 ROM then it is possible to dirty flash this ROM over your current setup and install gapps for 4.4 without wiping anything; HOWEVER, if you encounter ANY issues with this setup then I will not help you fix them. I will only listen to your issues if you perform a full wipe before installing this ROM for the first time. When there is an update available it is OK to dirty-flash the update, but don't forget to wipe /cache and Dalvik cache.
Detailed installation steps:
Common problems and solutions:
1. Problem: Music starts skipping and/or plays out of the speaker whenever I go to the home screen!
Solution: You need to disable "Ok Google" hotword detection. Go to Google Settings -> Search & Now -> Voice -> "Ok Google" hotword detection -> disable Hotword detection
