[Q] Any 4.4 based ROMS available? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It's been a while since I checked out ROMs for the G2. I remember most, if not all, ROMs were kit kat versions based on the JB source and different radios were required to correct some issues.
With 4.4 source being out for a while now, are there any 4.4 based ROMs for the G2 yet? If so, what are some?

I've heard very, very good things about Mahdi, but I'm not a big fan of the stock UI.

Thanks, been a while since I tried PA. Last time it was very dry - not a lot of customization options like SOKP or Slim

Haha, Idk. I love all the custom options on SOKP. Plus, I like how it is in the settings so I can skip Xposed mods.

don't know not a fan of aosp roms on my g2 mainly because of the features available on stock that aren't on aosp
main reason you don't see sokp around the main thread is because they decided to post device specific threads and reason you may have not heard of it is because they lack ls980 support but you just want to look at rom here you go:
d800 sokp
just by looking at features section you can see they offer tons of options

BTW, I had a complete dumb moment. For some reason I thought Mahdi was stock ROM. Tried it out last night, and I really like it.

Yeah, SOKP is the sonic open Kang project. Their ROM is literally PACKED with features. It's a little buggy at times. I think last time I used it my screen would become unresponsive and I'd have to reboot. May have been a modem issue though, not sure. It's still based on 4.2 source instead of 4.4. Just hacked to run kit Kat.

custom stock rom?

wasn't sure where to post this? does anyone know if any devs plan on making a custom, debloated, deodexed stockish rom for us? maybe something with some tweaks and a jellybeanish theme? i know we all want aosp but id like something to tide me over until aosp get a bit more stable.
id gladly donate to the cause.

Give them some time. We have several Devs with this device that are known for making the roms that you speak of. You don't want a rushed product.

Could a modified Touchwiz rom take up much less space than the stock one? I like a lot of things about the S4's TW, but it's also tempting to go to CM or similar and free up a few GB.

Apparently this wicked rom is ~400mb less than stock. I just finally downloaded and flashed, everything's good so far, just setting everything up

/system and /data are different partitions. Debloated ROMs use less space, but it is still stuck on the /system partition. Now you can move some apps to /system if you want but right now no one has repartitioned the S4 (and if you did it could mess s lot of stuff up

Yeah it's stock alright but PA with halo is based on AOSP. What you want may not happen at all. I suggest flashing PAC rom for the meantime or Paranoid Android on the original development section

PAC ROM is nice as its still early days for 4.3 as not officially released I've used a stock 4.3 and suffered battery drain hopefully the devs will work there magic and fix and add stuff we all want to see :thumbup:

[Q] SVIEW not on Custom ROMS

SO I guess SVIEW cover is not supported on any custom ROMS, is that a licensing issue?
I've tried the HATROID app but it doesn't work that well at all which is a shame as it's such a great feature (in my opinion).
Are there any custom ROMS that support the original funtionality?
Normally every stockbased custom rom...and even the Google edition supports sview...aosp and kang i dont know...

I've been using both SlimKat and Mahdi and in both cases Asphalt ran just fine. Actually, I might add that the game actually runs better on 4.4 than it does on stock based ROMS...

Yep that's what i meant strangest thing it works fine for me on mokee ROM, but i don't like this ROM lol.
And the only thing different in this rom that is obvious to me that would cause conflict is it only has Launcher3 where as on the other rooms i always use google.

Try SlimKat and see if it makes any difference. In my case I also had Asphalt lag on some other roms but right now if's working just fine. Give it a try! If nothing changes, then I guess it might be specific to your device...

Well i got my reason not to update, since my favorite rom isnt updated yet.
I know i can just update to 4.4.3 to get the newer kernels to work, but i just dont like to.
yea, too many kernel changes in 443. my only one experience of flashing a 443 kernel on 442 was a non boot. what rom are you waiting for?

Rastakat chameleon edition! I could use the xposed module to get the same effect as this rom (statusbar color changes) but honestly, its quite buggy that way.

My apologies, I was not aware you were waiting for a custom ROM, I thought that you were trying to flash a custom kernel for 4.4.3 on 4.4.2 stock.
