Root Kit kat for elite ?

[Junkyarddog269]

Any chance of someone working on a kit kat ROM. I hear it requires less resources to run than jb there is even a ROM for optimus v which has less space and memory than the elite. Just wondering.

Cool I will be watching for it thank you
BTW currently running your aokp jb ROM and love it.

Im looking forward for kitkat Elite aswell

Damn I might be switching to the Optimus f3 because my elite has been acting weird every since I flashed CM10 and AOKP but I will try kit kat when ever you release it. You did an amazing job with CM10 too keep up with the great ROMS

I was able to get kitkat to compile successfully but I think two things may be in our way.

1. We need a new recovery to flash kitkat. I didn't make one yet so I don't know if kitkat will even boot.

2. Kitkat may be too huge to fit in our system partition so we have to somehow repartition or I'll have to trim somethings out.

We may have to repartition and or trim it and almost all gapps are market installable so that'll help.

 

[HaTrEd360]

Make a custom gapps that installs to data

I know I seen a post on AC that there is a working but not fully functional ROM for the optimism v . not sure what they had to do to flash there's . It may also be on this forum but haven't looked.

Made the recovery needed to flash the rom but it doesn't boot and is stuck at LG logo and unable to get a logcat. Measured the space left we would have after flashing in /system which is 75.3MB.

 

[Kasenomateru]

Back to the drawing board I assume?

Is there advantages with kitkat over jb my interest in it was the impression it required less resources sounds as if I may have been wrong

Its larger in size but has less of a memory footprint. There's 2 framework and systemui folders....it actually runs better for me on my nexus than 4.3 did.

 

[Junkyarddog269]

Some day I'll learn how to make ROMs always wanted to learn how to

 

[phenomx4]

I'll try cm11 today. It could be something wrong with aokp source. Hopefully it'll work.

love the AOKP, juts somehow lost root, but everything else works great.

Reluctant to start over because I have zero issues other than no root.

The way I see it, if the phone bricks on its own, i can just do the unbrick method, which I would do right now and start over to regain root, and only need root for backups, so currently I am good.

But, I so wanna start over with the COM10, but AOKP is working great, no root

Oh yah, I am using the cell for wifi only, it appears the wifi shuts down some time after the cell is left inactive, but its not as if ppl call me anyway, I just unclick the wifi blue on thing in the notifications bar and reclick and it reconnects.

 

[Dark One]

If you click on wifi in the settings, press the menu button, then advanced, there's a setting to keep wifi on all the time.
