i agree but he did say that it will be on android dev.com so i think it might be available for us to mess with

What exactly is a developer build? Is it just a normal build that is just available to developers, or is it some sort of demo with limited features?
Edit: fixed typo

Can't believe we will be running Android L tomorrow. Week made

[Dev-ports] IncDoes - All in one thread [Lexikon,Streak,MT4g,LiquidE,MIUI,FRG83,Z,HD]

This thread is where all my ports for the INC will be... no need to make new threads for every port.
These are ports for the community devs to take over and play with so anyone feel free to do what you want with them.
NOTE:
- I will not support these builds or ever plan on working on them "except for the currently working on ones"
- Base ROM will be posted
- All builds are alpha so expect nothing to work (fun to play with)
- All builds are open arms to devs
- More to come
What works and what doesn't:
- for most nothing works

Install CyanogenMod, don't look back

I wasn't sure if I wanted CyanogenMod on the Nexus 4. I tried the stock android for a week or so and was dithering on it. Finally I decided to try CM (I've used it on all my previous Nexus devices) and I was reminded why it's just plain awesome! Within minutes I was delighting in the additional options, the extra preferences, the ability to drag down at the right to open the switch screen, all that stuff. It's pure magic.
If you're a tinkerer, I recommend it. The monthly release has been pretty stable for me so far.

I like the stock, but there were lots of things I realised after installing that I'd missed from earlier CyanogenMod versions. I like the additional customisability of it. I can see that stock makes more sense if you want a phone to work reliably with minimal tweaking. Personally, I like to be able to configure it just the way I like it, to tune and tweak the power icons, the various panels, and so on. For example, I particularly like being able to disable the search bar on the homescreen and stretch the launcher to fill the screen. But horses for courses...

Well, it looks like kitkat.. is fast like kitkat.. Hmm.. probably not 4.3..
Booted up, smooth and fast.. so far all settings seem to work, no app issues.. Very nice work..
Playstore is a little crashy... if I try to download/install more than 1-2 apps at a time it crashes..

Good job. I did a manual build last night but seems the same as the one you uploaded.
I see it's also missing the widget enable control in Settings.
I've got Play store crashing but must be related to the change in DPI, as I'm dirty flashing from my unofficial build that had default DPI.

I think GEL won't be coming to SlimKat until Google releases a working official APK in the Play Store. Google is probably holding off until they find it stable enough.
Installed with CWM 6.0.4.3, TWRP 2.6.3.0 won't work. And it seems faster and smoother than build 2. Thanks for awesome work.
For all those having playstore issues are you using slimgapps beta 1? Are you using ART?

I download the full slimkat gapps instead which contains GEL. It's running smooth. My only concern is location service sucking up battery even in battery saving mode.

Oh, lockscreen widgets are disabled for low memory devices, which includes the Nexus S. I believe at least some the settings should be shown, such as to disable maximized widgets as these are disabled.
To enable widgets in lockscreen just change ro.config.low_ram=true to false in /system/build.prop and reboot using your preferred method. This has the collateral effect of enabling Ok, Google hotword. Might make the device slower thou.
