Some added goodies over 2.0 ROM that I have learned since then.
________________________________________
Features and release notes for my 2.1 ROM:
1) While 111K4 was rooted from the factory it was outdated and did not have the SU updates needed.
I re-rooted the ROM properly. This includes the new SELinux SU library and xbin files.
2) Updated Google framework core files. The ones in the stock ROM were out of date.
On first boot NOTHING will need to be updated once you logon to Google Play.
That is as of this date.
3) Debloated of junk APPs and Google Apps you can get from Google Play.
There was quite a few useless hidden apps in this KitKat release! Some of them did not even work.
I did remove XBMC and other pre-install APPs as well. I like a CLEAN ROM that you the user can setup the way you want.
Having APPs in /system leaves that junk in there forever (unless you delete them by hand with a root explorer).
NOTE: The XBMC that came with 111K4 is in this ZIP package (Oman modified). Feel free to install it if you like.
4) As always, full init.d support! If you do not know what that is... ignore it. For geeks that want to use it. It is there!
This time around due to updated security in 4.4, init.d was a lot harder to get working.
Again I had to figure it out!
5) I fixed the AOSP Launcher for several things:
Removed the Google search bar by request.
Added more than one screen for scrolling.
Updated the dock icons to things more useful.
Apps installed with Google Play will automatically be added to the home screen.
I think you will like this launcher better

6) Build.prop edit to open up the Google Play store to APPs that normally say "not compatible".
I am spoofing a Samsung device (Nexus 10) that will show almost any APP as compatible.
This should also allow Netflix HD but I have not tested it.
Your device will show up in google play as Nexus 10 device not a S82/S89! Understand this please.
I also left the original build.prop in the ROM called build.orig.
If you want to go back, just use ES FIle Explorer or a root file explorer and rename build.prop to build.old
Then rename build.orig to build.prop.
Go into settings, apps, all and go into the Google Play app. Clear the cache and data.
Reboot! You should be back to showing up as a S82/S89.
7) TWRP recovery is intsalled with this ROM. Special thanks to FreakTab developer Abdul_pt!
If you don't want TWRP recovery, I give you a recovery flasher ZIP that you can use to flash back to a stock recovery that works (fixed).
8) I added a reboot APP that will allow optional reboot options like reboot to recovery for easier updates.
9) Adjusted more permission that Google now checks for which should give even better Google Play compatibility.
10) I still had to remove the hw.nophone=false from build.prop as this breaks streaming apps like Bell TV.
Not sure after reporting this issue why Beelink did not also do this?
11) CPU fixer patches!
In this ZIP is a CPU_fixer folder. These zips can be used to adjust your minimum CPU frequency and Governor.
See the README.txt in that folder for an explanation and how to install them.
12) Carrier spoofs for better APP compatibility.
13) The usual tweaks I do for better performance e.g. TCP buffers sizes, etc etc.
14) Did a little "themeing" to the AOSP Launcher stock wallpaper.
