Hello,
I've used your template to add settings in android's kitkat DessertCase dream, but I'm having some trouble. When I change a preference and launch the dream, the dream does not load the new preferences and acts like nothing changed. I have to reboot the device in order to load the correct preference.

Do you have any clue what I could be missing? Here's the code http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/55041/

Thanks in advance for any hints,
Michael
