Welcome to Eos 4.0! The Eos project originated with the AOSP release of ICS, and was originally founded by Solarnz and co founded by Bigrushdog. Since then, Eos has evolved into a multinational collaborative effort backed by top Android developers. Our objective is to provide a world class AOSP build with unique features and enhancements. Eos is an ongoing development project in which builds are released on a regular basis. Every release should be considered stable and highly functional.

We give love and much respect to Cyanogenmod. The AOSP scene would not exist as it does today without them. We implement some of their branches to support legacy devices and features that users have demanded. The resources we use include, but are not limited to:
Features:
Code:
Phone: for T9 dialer support
MMS
T-Mobile Theme Engine
Branches:
Code:
libhardware, libhardware_legacy, system/core, system/netd, /system/vold, frameworks/native, frameworks/av, isolated frameworks/base cherry-picks,
and various qualcomm support related branches. We also use some qualcomm related branches from CodeAurora Forum.

Caution - SDcard directory changes with 4.2 installation
For those of you that are new to 4.2 releases, be aware that installing and running this rom creates a directory "/sdcard/0" and moves all content in the sdcard directory to the "0" directory. (Perhaps I missed a posting somewhere on this.)
I reinstalled this rom a few times due to Gapps crashes and later could not find any of my files files in the sdcard directory including my backup files. I first thought I had accidentally formatted the sdcard, but later found that each time I had tried to flash and start this rom another new "0" subdirectory was created and all files were moved to yet another subdirectory. By time I was done all my files were safely stored in /sdcard/0/0/0/.
Also be aware that the Clockworkmod directory is one of those moved and Clockworkmod Recovery may not be able to find your nandroid backup in the new directory if you decide to restore. I haven't tried the latest version of CWM, but it was a problem on the six week old version I had installed.
It took me a few minutes to figure out what was going on and am hoping to save someone else the trouble.
Edit: Installed the latest version (as of 12/17) of CWM and it.too was unable to find my nandroid backup once it was moved to the /sdcard/0 directory by the 4.2 installation process. To restore my old rom I had to do a clean install, then install ES file Explorer, move the clockworkmod directory to /sdcard/ and THEN restore.

You need to upgrade your recovery to the latest cwm or twrp. The issue has been fixed since 11/16

Its not "this ROM" its all 4.2 ROMs that do it. And the way to prevent the /0/0/0/0 is by updating your recovery to the latest CWM or TWRP.
the new multi user in 4.2.x moves all your internal data to /data/media/0 for the main device owner. And if you create another user you will see /1 for the second user and so on for however many users you add.
So on 4.2.x ROMs you will have one /0 and it needs to be like that, if you move all your data to /data/media you will have issues. The /0 is a must and is the way of the future.
Having said that I will say it again. If you haven't already you really need to update your recovery.
Also on the note of gapps you must use the gapps specifically for 4.2 not 4.1.1 if you don't use 4.2 gapps you will have gapps fc like crazy

The slider in the Quicksettings menu for brightness is very laggy. Volume seems fine though. Also, my battery meter in Quicksettings sometimes says 0%, even though I'm at 97%.

The version of gapps I installed was 4.2 downloaded from the OP. I also tried a 4.2 gapps downloaded from another link so I was probably just missing a step somewhere or had a bad rom download, I'll try again tomorrow.
I do not believe I suggested that there was anything wrong with this or any other 4.2 rom (and certainly did not mean to suggest anything of the sort), only that there are important changes to be aware of when moving from 4.1 to 4.2 and back.

Thanks, will give it a try.

Also note a full wipe is a MUST coming from any other ROM or even eos3
And I didn't read it as implying anything.
Just be sure to update recovery
All good Buddy

In a way.. It has the option to put the soft keys in the left side like tab ui but keeps the top status bar

New build out. Eos is on a roll

Can we just dirty flash 45 over 44? Will gapps need to be reflashed again also?
44 was running pretty well. Already downloaded 45. Waiting on answer before I flash new build.

Yep..dirty flashed rom an reflashed gapps. All running well so far.

Unless instructed otherwise from eos4 nightly to nightly a dirty flash is fine.
Also the latest update fixes ALOT of the third party apps FC'ing.
So put firefox, kindle, and many more on the problem squashed list.

Anybody having issues using the latest nightlys with custom kernels? I tried using Franco's kernel and I am unable to install paid apps with it. I get the USB storage error.
