[Q] Android 4.4 (KitKat) - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys,
I've been trying some ROMS, and settled with an ICS one for now, but every now and then, the phone just hangs and restarts. I heard that the KitKat is way better than ICS and JB. Anyone got any clue when we will be seeing the Android 4.4 for our beloved phones?
I'm looking for a version that has Arabic keyboard. Also the hardware keyboard should support Arabic like my stock ROM did.

Thank you for the reply, but may I ask, based on your experience with the ROMs, which one is the most stable ROM?
Best Regards,
Sikas.

Just try them, you might find the difference.

[Q] Miui Apps

I've been playing around the Miui rom and there are some really neat apps that I would love to have on CM's rom. File explorer with the way it organizes apks, music files, and etc and the traffic monitor app that tells you everything bandwidth you used and whatever.
Is there anyway we can port them over?
Im trying to find out the same thing. The framework is different so it may be hard but if someone could it would be awesome.
the miui music app rocks! Been using it on my Galaxy s, trying tonight on Desire Z aswell.
well, MIUI Framework is different and it wont work at all in other roms. But why do you want to use its app for another rom? is there something wrong with MIUI that you dont like ?
I don't like how miui looks more like the iphone os, I like the way the stock Android looks, hence why I'm using cyanogen mod.

So do what I do and use an alternative launcher like launcherpro or adw. Works flawlessly.

Miui has really improved since the last comment has been posted. Its super rootytooty now, in case anyone wants to try it, and it can be themed outrageously to make it look like android os, if you don't like the iphone-ish theme.
Anyway, I kind of like the op's thoughts. I wouldn't mind a few miui apps on mexdroid, for example. Flashing and restoring between roms for a few nice features is troublesome ._.

You can install some of MIUI application on other roms, for example file explorer. I copied that from miui rom zip and it worked well for me on my ICS (no MIUI) rom.

MIUI default theme really looks like iOS yeah but you can change it very easily.
I'm using ADW Ex so i can customize my homescreen and use an appdrawer.
The lack of appdrawer seems to me like the main reason why MIUI looks like iOS. So you just need to install the launcher you want (or enable the MIUI app drawer with the MIUI Extended settings mod) and delete all icons on your homescreens to make your MIUI rom more like the stock one.
MIUI Theming engine is the best and that's what i would like to be ported on other Roms.

hylz Ice Cold Sandwich - AOKP | Theme Edition v2
I have just tried the one in the topic and i really like it. Camera works fine, there is so many options to customize it but the only thing is that GPS does not even start to get a fix, thought they say it works fine. What can be the the problem? I can't even ask them directly as the new member..

IceColdSandwich 7.3...so far...
I'm running LordClockan's IceColdSandwich 7.3 and I can get everything working. Using an AT&T Inspire 4G in the U.S. Camera works, for video I use VideocamIllusion, works great. It's got a small footprint (ROMs are less than 150M in size), is light, quick, snapy, and gets to the point whenever launching an app. Every Sense 3.5 ROM I've tried has been laggy in comparison (mind you, IMHO, Sense vs. AOKP is nowhere near a "fair fight"), and I always end up coming back to this AOKP-based piece of win!

the same for me. icecoldsandwich is the most brilliant rom i´ve ever used on my dhd. with version 7.3 it feels as i got a totally new phone..
The best one which I have tried is the Ice Cold Sandwich. Pretty much everything is working. Waiting for camera to work on a Sense ROM.

Amen brother, I agree!
The only issue I seem to have with it is when I try to use the "AOKP-DesireHD-CobaltPort" theme with it in the 7.4 test 6 version...gives me a popup error right after booting up....but that's why it's a test version, I guess....7.3 Final is pretty much flawless for me though.
Upgrade to 8.5

In the newest version (8.5) of IceColdSandwich the camera works great, and the camcorder works up to 480p. Everything else works perfectly, including wifi. If you experience low wifi signal, there is an included app (WifixManager) which enhances the wifi. Mine wifi works great even without 'engaging' the WifixManager.

Problem is that they aren't releasing any source code. We can't do much without it. You're welcome to spam the f out of them
Giving it a try now, I think keep on bothering them to release source is the best thing to do, they have to at some point in accordance with opensource licenses

Install an AOSP ROM. The bar at the bottom is a crucial part of Sense. You can't simply remove it.

But is there a way to close running apps ?
In android 4.1+ if you hold HOME you can kill every running app you want with a swipe..
That just removes recent apps from the list, im sure it does'nt kill them. Have a look in ur apps and see if theres an app called task manager, if so u can kill all apps there. Most sense roms have it.
EDIT: Just thought of this rom, Alex-V, he has a bliss mod version, so basically theres not that "bar" from the bottom Alex GingerBreadSense-
And theres BlissMod007 .. very good rom
That can't because it is a sense rom . Do you want sense or not ?
