I should also note that this application is open-source. When the idea came to develop a cross-kernel application, there were none that provide source. Even worse, most kernels that endorse a specific app no longer document methods to modify the settings without using the app, or the documentation is extremely stale. Keeping everything open-source serves the purpose of allowing others that wish to contribute a chance to submit updates, but also serves as a reference for how the kernels are actually configured.

That should be fixed up. A lot of changes were made to that layout.
This app is now backed by ScriptFusion, which recently received a pretty substantial overhaul intended for rerelease. Instead the platform now backs the kernel portion of this app to provide a powerful modification and tweak system that would require multiple apps to rival. Cheers!

This might be a big help for Devs!!!
http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/index.html
not exactly as you think
that is for Apps/Games coding & design, not so much for ROM cooking
the only thing our ROM Devs can take out from that is to updated their current Tweakers or any Apps to use the same look and design
that basically goes to the Tweaker from Juggernaut, and CWR apps needs to be updated by Koush and TitaniumBackup needs to be updated by its Dev, etc...
but it's optional, they can choose not to follow that look that Google wish people to follow
Oh, well its helpful as a guide I guess.
It's more since the galaxy nexus doesn't have buttons. The menu/settings tabs would be in various different places in every app.

I have made a pure Android 4.3 build for Xoom Wi-Fi and want to share it to the community. There are still many problems waiting to be fixed as it is in the early development stage. Currently it is only released for testing purpose so don't expect it to be a daily driver. Please backup your whole system before testing! Due to the growing size of the system I only included necessary files in the Google Apps package. All missing Google Apps should be available through the Play Store.

It's all working for me.
Only observations are that it says no service on the lock screen and there are occasional very minor graphical glitches when a menu screen appears.
Otherwise, thanks for all your efforts
From what I can gather, hardware wise everything is working.
I've tested: Camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI.
Other than some graphical glitches it works great

I have the same experience. Updating a 4.2.2 ROM appears to have no ill effects.
The only thing I would add is TB can't backup - it complains about insufficient free space, although there is plenty.
The main issue is lack of root and the fact that the SuperSU .zip fails to flash on the Xoom.
edit: the solution to SuperSU .zip fail is to replace the "update-binary" and can be found in the SuperSU XDA thread.
I have Root
Using BaNkS Core Gapps I have 47.7MB free System.
I simply flashed ROM,Gapps and amended SuperSU in TWRP and the update goes smoothly.

4.3 issue with TB is well known, you have to change the path of the TB directory to "legacy", I'm guessing yours is on "0").

No, it is on the external SD card. No problems with 4.3 using a similar setup on another device.

Currently it is a pure Android build so it contains no other features that aren't available in stock Android system. I will add them back in future builds.
Currently the most noticeable problem is the graphic glitches showing on launching apps, dialogs and menus. I heard from other developers that it is related to the system base we used to create our builds. I will start from another base to see if it fixes the problem. After solving the problem I will start merging changes from my 4.2 builds.

Understand completely. After using for a few hours, this is definitely a step forward from 4.2.x. Noticeable improvements in responsiveness (must be the extra butter) and overall performance. Given that this hardware is 2 and a half years old, it's doing pretty well.

From my personal experience, yes. I've been using the lag fix app over the past month and it has been as noticeable change in performance (not as much as 4.3 itself, but noticeable). The first TRIM lasted about 2 weeks, and when it felt slower I ran it again. Hoping that Google's baked in TRIM will produce similar results on a ongoing basis.

Any chance we can see some unofficial cm10.2 built off of this down the road?
Also, I have the same question as extremetempz. The galaxy players got a huge performance boost when the Deva there bumped the kernel up to Linux 3.0 from 2.6

Some hints:
1. Be sure you are on latest CWM or TWRP recovery!!!!!!
2. Not all gapps packages right now are nice working. You can try others but at least I know that the one linked here is working. If you have other gapps which are working you can link it here of course
3. Full wipe when coming from any 4.3 or 4.4 rom (as well format system manually please)
Reporting Bugs
When you submit a bug you want to make sure that nothing from your side is causing it. Otherwise your developer might be hunting a bug which doesn't really exist.
The best way to achieve this is by doing the following.
1. Make a nandroid backup.
2. Perform a full wipe (factory reset + wipe /system)
Now we have two different ways depending on what kind of problem you're having.
3a. When you're having a problem with a ROM function, flash just the ROM without GAPPS etc. and boot back into the system. You will boot directly onto the homescreen.
3b. When you're having a problem with a 3rd party app in combination with our ROM then flash the ROM and GAPPS.
Boot now back into the system. You will boot to the setup wizard.
Log in to your Google account but make sure that you untick "Restore from my Google Account to this phone/tablet".
Finish the setup and open the playstore and download only the app you're having problems with.
4. Start a logcat recording and reproduce the bug (if possible more than once) while taking the logcat. If you don't know how to get a logcat read this tutorial or this.
5. Post the logcat in a txt file (this is important because you otherwise clog up the threads with your log) in the correct thread.
Please also write detailed description how we can reproduce the bug.
6. Restore your backup from point 1 and wait for a fix (don't ask for ETAs).
First,,,,,,,im all over this sucker trying it now i hope data works

Data and everything not stated as a bug works. A couple questions for OP though.
1. Was this built with 4.2 binaries for radio and the like or the new 4.3 libraries we have now that 4.3 is officially released for the GNex?
2. Is the DPI correct for our device or is it set too high? When I had my own 4.4 build running on my phone it was a lot bigger when using branches from 4.3 ParanoidAndroid.
Thanks man

Look I've been around xda for a long time and am not stranger to root, hacking modding whatever. But this is the first nexus device I've own so the newest android OS is not a problem at least for now. And to boot this little guy is a beast with wings! So even performance is no problem. And also I made sure to buy one long after the reports of touch screen problems so I don't have no issues. So without any insults and cyber bullying kindly give your take on the matter. What the benefits at this point?

Faster ROMS, custom kernels for speed and battery save. As mentioned Ada way is great. Kicking system apps I don't need or use.
That said, even if for some reason some device came perfect I would still root because I can.

Simple. To make it simpler and better!
Xposed Framework definitely fun to play around with. Opens your eyes on new possibilities without flashing different ROMs, if you're like me and like a specific ROM / stock.
Mainly to satisfy the tweaking itch. For me, it's compulsive on Android devices nowadays. Some of the big reasons include:
AFWall+
AdAway
Greenify
Nandroid backups
Custom ROMs
Custom kernels
OpenPDroid
Backup of SMS/MMS & apps
Xposed
With KitKat....apps monitoring the battery (gsam battery, betterbatterystat, etc) need root now
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
App ops is the reason I rooted. It disappeared with 4.4.2 and can only be retrieved with root now.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I built on @locusto03's list:
AFWall+ (privacy, security)
AdAway (ad IP list blocker)
Greenify (memory optimization, performance, battery savings)
Nandroid backups
Custom ROMs
Custom kernels (allow you to over/under clock, etc according to your performance and battery preferences, network speed preferences, GPU preferences, etc. One of my favorite performance tweaks allows users to under-charge the battery slightly, thereby extending its lifetime).
OpenPDroid (privacy tweak)
Backup of SMS/MMS & apps
Xposed (unlocks a veritable smorgasbord of nifty interface enhancements, etc)
+ Xprivacy
+ PimpMyRom (many performance tuning enhancements)
+ Multiboot (ability to boot into distinctly different environments/roms - you could make your stock rom your main and install a custom rom, as well. Just read the about it 1st).
+ dSploit (pen testing)
+ WifiKill (look it up)
+ SecDroid (added security)
+ Ability to remove bloatware (Titanium Backup)
The most important one for me Running OTG cable
Isn't OTG supposed to be available to stock users?
Hit 'Thanx' if I've helped (just in case XDA goes rogue and starts offing the lowest common denominator).

Supposed to be or not, Google has it disabled in stock. Thus you need to root or use an app like Nexus Media Importer.
But I use media importer before and I'm not rooted.

Good thread. I was wondering the same thing since I'm unlocked but not rooted.
Rick
I felt the same way. I went nearly a week without even unlocking my bootloader, which is unheard of for me. I am now running PA with franco kernel and I don't notice much difference from stock, though the minor enhancements are worth it. I'm excited to play with other kernels to see how much battery life I can squeeze out of this thing.

Zedomax. It's an older hack, but if you go through the steps very carefully, one at a time, and be sure to follow the instructions on the video to a T then it's good. I just used it yesterday on a 2013 Nexus 7.
With any kind of knowhow is it by ay chance possible to port a Ics+ app for gb.
Or perhaps I would need the source?
Ř800x
Wish to know too, Greenify on GB roms would be awesome!
Set "android:minSdkVersion="9"" (or 10 for 2.3.7) in your AndroidManifest.xml
inspect the code to make sure you're not calling any APIs that aren't available in gb. If you are, fix the code, either by disabling the relevant functionality or providing alternative implementations. You're also going to have to make some changes to the XML layout files. And probably a few more things.
As far as getting source code, google it, there are many methods, easiest probably dex2jar.
