Those who'd like CWM on this ROM can use the bundled ArcTools app and installed the CWM for iFive Kitkat. Worked for me.

Problem with this rom: SCREEN FLICKERING.

Anyone seen this problem?
Netflix with the screen flashing (flickering)
Some people talked about lowering the brightness up to 40%, but for me, not solved.

I've seen reports that on google maps, the screen also flashed ... Someone saw something or is it a defect of netflix?

Disabling HW overlays under developer tools should do the trick.

The following users say thank you to Riederan for this useful post:

Confirmig the same. It was quite easy to install both kasty ROM and DJ mod, in accordance with their instructions posted earlier. Now everything works just fine. Battery drain is acceptable even with phone appks. It is now the same like it was in 4.2.2. JB. Moreover, the most important change is a significantly bigger Wi-Fi range. Now I can get and use internet everywhere in my three rooms apartment. With all previous ROMs it was impossible. I am really surprized that nobody is mentioning about it. Am I the only one who is observing it?

Nope. My home button works as usual, without fail.

Once again many thanks for admin and DathJabba for their great work!

I have noticed that wifi range increased significantly. I think everyone has. It is as strong as if I was next to the router. Great work to all who have made this possible.

Hi,

I just installed yesterday this rom. So much improvements !!!!

1- Wifi range is almost two time better then before (last stable 4.2.2 rom)

2- Another big point that nobody point before : during download and update the tablet does not hang or freeze.

After installing the new rom I did connect to my google account and re-install all app : almost 4Go. During 4h the tablet has download and install all app and at the same time I was using it to browse the web and play some games : no freeze, no lags !!!!!

Again thanks so much for your efforts and the quality of this ROM.

No one can answer me, specialy the second part of the question, as the first part has been answered throughout every comment red since.

I can only respond to you on this. I like to use the latest SW with the latest optimizations. And kitkat provides a big experience compared to jellybean. But you it's still beta so expect issue, but based on the previous jellybean version I don't see any downside by upgrading to kitkat.

the second questions answer is, use titanium backup and backup your saves or whatever you want with root access.

Can anyone provide confirmation on the following:

Does this ROM support multi-window?
Any confirmation on whether the latest version of the Netflix app (from Play, v3.3.1429, dated 21 Mar 2014) works properly, as this version just stopped working on v2.06 (with Xposed)?
Is the Xposed framework required/available on this ROM?

Thanks in advance - getting ready to jump ship from 2.06 - I can back everything up with Titanium, but the most important aspects for me are:

Battery life (seems OK)
Wi-Fi connectivity (improved!)
Lag when updating (improved - amazing!)
Netflix
Flixter/Ultraviolet
Chromecast support (just got one and I LOVE it! Maybe a Roku next...)

As always, any answers are gratefully appreciated (and always get a Thanks from me!)
