Issues:
If you have Google play services error follow this link HERE and read the red marked hint to resolve it.
Bugs:
- NFC Tags
- FM Radio
- A2DP media playback
F.A.Q:
Q) Icons and Fonts are too small. How can i change the LCD Density and whats the Stock LCD Density?
A) Default is 240, to change it either modify build.prop or use textdroider_dpi from Playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi
Q) Dialler and Contact search is very Laggy
A) Disable Dial Pad touch tones from Settings > Sound. Also do not install Google Now launcher.
Q) Few features from SlimJB are missing
A) All features from 4.3 will come back from time to time , for now you can use Xposed in combination with Gravity Box.
Gravity Box : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554049 / Xposed : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Q) Is ART stable to use ?
A)Test it for yourself , it is advisable to switch to ART after fresh install before installing any other Apps to reduce first boot time.
Q) Can i restore my apps with Titanium Backup coming from another Rom ?
A) Yes you can , remember " Don't restore System Apps "
Q ) There is no Theme Chooser in the Rom ?
A ) For now slim uses no Theme Chooser, you can use HK ThemeManager, it does the same and more.
Q ) I have problems with Memory Management (keyboard FCs etc) ?
A ) Install Performance Control App, set minfree values to Very Light. You can play around with these values as they suit you (WARNING: Be careful and always study what you are doing). But I am using these values and they work fine for me.
Q ) Back Button does not work sometimes ?
A ) This is a known bug that affects my Nexus 7 too, so it is independent of ROM or Device. Solution is to Lock and then Unlock the device. After that back button starts working.
Q ) Howto Enable Heads up Notifications ?
A ) Either enable it with a longlick in the notification drawer on the notification, or in Settings->app->App info via a check box. As soon it is enabled for this app every notification from this app will show as heads up, as long as it is not an ongoing notification.
Q ) Howto use OTA updates OR OTA updates not working?
A ) Make Sure u have the build from http://builds.hubdroid.com/ installed
1. Check for updates in Settings > About phone > System updates
2. When a new build is released, It will automatically download and verify the new build
3. If it does not work check that no firewall blocking OpenDelta. Disable any firewall
4. Make sure you have space free on your internal sdcard (around 800MB to 1GB )
5. Force Stop and Clear data of OpenDelta app and retry
6. New build will be downloaded and when prompted press Flash Now

Screenshots
When you first boot into this build, you will be greeted by the following screen
Although it looks just like CM with a custom wallpaper and Nova Launcher, this ROM has many useful features
Such features include the ability to delete system applications without any 3rd party apps
And of course, the amazing PIE
If like my phone, your phone's hardware buttons have become unreliable, it is possible to enable the navbar.
Finally, this is an Android 4.4.3 based ROM, as shown by the pictures below

ART is usable but its advisable to switch to ART after first install before adding any apps as it will make first boot time shorter
