I've had my CX-919 for a while now, repeatedly mixing and matching kernals and ROMs as stuff develops. Tonight I've found my favorite setup so far.
ROM:
T428 Nexus SDK2 Official V1
Kernel:
From 4.2.2 Finless ROM 1.4
This is the only combo I've come across that enables all of the features I feel that I "need". I live here in an apartment and need to keep the volume down late night, so I use a pair of bluetooth headphones in order to stay quiet while still being able to hear things throughout the apartment. Every combo I tested until tonight would make my bluetooth headphones severely impact WiFi, they would work perfectly fine on games and downloaded videos but would throttle Netflix streams causing them to buffer for 10 seconds every 60 seconds or so which was completely unwatchable. Now I'm able to stream Netflix in HD with no wait times without it affecting audio in any way. Hulu Plus works perfectly as well, many of the combinations I tried would refuse to play the ads and Hulu would close but now I can watch things just fine with or without the headset.
Antutu scores are at 15700 in landscape and 17200 in portrait which is the best I've seen, WiFi tests are showing my network speed at the same values with or without bluetooth turned on and my headset connected. After repeatedly running various benchmarks I'm seeing no heat issues. I imagine it won't play 1080p videos as well without Strauzo's MK908 kernel but to me it was a fair trade for the seemingly stable WiFi and Bluetooth performance. I'm missing features I want from Finless' ROM such as the ability to change output resolution, the "hide taskbar" icon and having "back" mapped to my airmouse's right button but Strauzo's Nexus ROM is clean and fast enough to make that worth it in my case (there are software solutions for many of these issues anyway).
Anyway I just wanted to share my results as I'm currently really happy with them, and I wanted to contribute in case I had any relevant information for others. Only thing I'll be updating for at this point is a new Finless ROM based on the new info from Phjanderson regarding video playback
