 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 */

We've done it! Thanks to the androidarmv6 team's work, and the great people over at Team Simplicit(Especially Olivier, as he got it working on the Wildfire S and a couple other devices),
we now have a functional KitKat rom for the ChaCha!
This rom SHOULD now be daily driver ready. Please leave feedback on any issues.
I will also note that it takes a rather long time to boot. I don't know if it will stay this way or not, so don't ask. :P
And lastly, I recommend leaving the device for at least a minute after first boot, before going through the setup wizard. Otherwise it will be very laggy.

I am Really Enjoying Kitkate right now

———
Installing Steps:
1) I Tried to install the Recovery using the boot loader method but it failed with an error "CID incorrect, update fail”.
So i used fast boot Method with my PC & this command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”
2) Installed The Rom
3) Installed “CronMod-INT2EXTV2+_signed.zip” (Great INT2ext mod to increase internal Memory form SD card, now 1.5GB)

The system Feels good, but i couldn’t live with it without updating the minimum CPU frequency to 245 MHZ

Problems i faced At my first look

System:

Wifi & Hotspot NOT working
Bluetooth NOT working
USB Mass Storage Mode (UMS) NOT working ( I can Not connect my phone to the pc with any mean )
3G Stop working after WAKE - I Must Manually disable and re-enable it
Battery Still Testing

Apps:

Camera image is rotated !
Phone app buttons really needs to be reorganised

Keyboard:

@ and ~ are misplaced , should be switched (FN+y) with (FN+p)
No Number “0”
Lang, & Facebook Keys are not Functional
No Arabic Keyboard

Overall, Very Good for a First Build. I am Excited to Test the Next Build and i am ready for Testing

I will say that mass storage mode works perfectly for me. but I will do some testing with other micro sd cards, and see what happens.
But thanks for testing!

Good JOB...
Lot's of problems... it's better that we think about a new KERNEL

instead of a new ROM

Keep in mind, this is absolutely NOT a stable release. entirely a testing/dev release.

That having been said, if you want to start the efforts of working on a new kernel, I certainly wouldn't complain, and I'd even try my best to help.
