LTE signal is strong?

I read somewhere that one of the major reasons why phones drain a lot of battery when using 3G/LTE is because of poor network coverage..

Still on stock after 6 days of use. Updated to 4.4.3 after the first day. So far so good.

Battery life on par with S4(stock aswell). Camera better than S4.

Will probably root it once I feel a strain.

Dose of awesome sauce on this week from PA Headquarters, again. As you may know we merged 4.4.3 into our source. You will need to flash new bootloader, radio, Gapps and update to latest recovery before going forward. Many bugs have been also resolved on our bug tracker thanks to community’s reports, less to go.

Hover
After many months, many revisions and many concept’s debates we are really proud to finally release first public Hover state. Still some visual things to do but we achieved a great point Original idea and first  developed revision by +Jesús David Gulfo Agudelo, subsequently lead by +Carlo Savignano till current revision.
Due to popularity demand from the community we’ve added a couple of great suggestions:
- If current notification showed in hover is from current foreground app, don’t reopen it in floating.
- Ticker now shows for apps that are blacklisted from Hover.
More sauce to come.

Theme Engine
As you may know as for last monday release, we brought to you CyanogenMod Theme Engine. As for who asked it during this week, we’ll keep Theme Engine up to date with its upstream state. It will be a 0-Day upstream line. We’ve also added support for some AOSP base components as home button refreshing. More to come, since some AOSP components (as stock navigation bar) behaves differently. Nothing to worry about though, because right now only navigation bar’s background isn’t refreshed when applying a theme (needs rebooting).

RC1, what that means?
We achieved an almost stable state for this branch (PA 4.4), no special reasons

Superb news! When they said there's gonna be slight delay for this week's update to 4.4.3 I thought it's gonna be next week!

Clear whatever schedule I had for tonight ( which I don't ), and perform a clean flash ! Sometimes I love to completely setup my phone, although took long time, but it's fun.

Those headscratching moments after wiping clean & flashing while thinking whether all data has been backed up..
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!

ElementalX 0.44 update today!

Why people use swiftkey ? Kan nexus 5 also have swift feature on their keyboard. Did I miss something interesting in swiftkey ? 

Kind of a bummer, knowing you paid for an app and it goes free. They're giving free premium themes to those who paid for the app which I don't really care for =\
