Seems good to me troop.
Thanks Steven. Appreciate it.
EDIT: What exactly does AOKP backup backup? Lol. Just rom settings and such? Or apps as well?
Thanks in advance.
Well, this is an interesting turn of events: I dirty flashed B40 and everything seems fine... EXCEPT:
My face unlock is suddenly covered up by my pattern screen! It still works, I hold it up and all I see is pattern but it still recognizes my face and logs me in... I just can't see myself while it's happening.

Which may be a good thing, since I have a face for radio

Scroll down to post #9967 here.
Is this similar to what you are experiencing? If so then it looks like a bug in B40 and MarcLandis already has it fixed for the next build.
Thanks Jbdan, that's EXACTLY what I'm experiencing. I guess I'll just stare at my pattern screen while it face unlocks until B41 comes out

I've tried both and they both seem right to my eyes.
Do you mean they are kind of small and there is a lot of blank black screen real estate not being used? If so I think it's been this way since b38, but I could be wrong.
I've seen some complaining when it was re-sized, but I don't use the feature enough to have noticed the change when it was made. iirc it used to take up the top half (~50%) of the lockscreen right?

You might be right. I don't use the feature enough to have noticed.
I remember seeing people complain about it in the rootz thread I had thought around B38'ish, but maybe it was fixed in B39, then got borked again in B40.

No issues here. The reason for the remove and repost was because the first post said build 39 in the about phone settings instead of build 40.
How come you reinstall all your apps manually? Do you have Titanium Backup? The paid version has batch backups/restores so if you quickly stop the play store from installing/syncing all your apps, you can use TiBu to batch restore all user apps with or without data. Once you've done it a few times and you go through the backup/restore process with apps/data, launcher settings, AOKP settings, and SMS, flashing a new ROM should only take 30 minutes to an hour (if you go slow like me)

Titanium backup was a life saver. It helped and I didn't have to do it all manually even in the free version. I just added the missing apps. it detected after reboot of new aokp b40 ROM.

Nice. I restored to b39. For some reason my phone is much smoother in this build?
Coming from m5, I'm going to suggest a complete wipe. A lot has happened since then.
BTW, .....429 is the latest gapps. You may want to update?Question.
I use Friendcaster and sync my contact photos with that because the official FB app and sync sucks. But every time I wipe I have to sync my contact photos again by syncing all the Friendcaster contacts and joining with the ones backed up on gmail.
I know backing up system data with TiBu is a bad idea, but what if you only backup the contacts app, then run the backup for the rest of the downloaded apps, so they're in the same folder? You could then restore all apps and system data (with the only system data being the contacts) and hopefully all would be kosher. The only thing I could see going wrong is if you need to remove the contacts app before restoring it with TiBu.
Anybody have experience with this? It sucks having to resync all my contacts pictures every time I wipe.

I is an app that will do this but for the life of me I can't remember what it's called.

Just a heads up...I downloaded and with a clean wipe installed the first version of the B40....I noticed the screen was brighter than I like it. The color multipliers were set high again on this build like, B36 or something? Just need to hit the reset to defaults to get it back down to .4666666 again.
All better!!
I am running B40 with LK 3.9exp5.....and loving it!!
I also added some more of the inverted...MMS, calendar, Gmail....looking good!!

To fix it, stop using leankernel with its gamma correction, or any rom with the correction cooked in. Of course, you won't get the benefit of the gamma correction mod or leankernel, but if not having that split second of graphic clipping is more important to you, then there you go.

Could be. B39 uses the CM kernel unless you changed it yourself. Maybe your phone prefers CM kernel to faux 18 in b40.

I actually use the Trinity kernel. Strange but my phone just did not like b40. Oh well, will wait for b41.
