Finally some one who uses the Q&A.yes it should support AOKP/CM themes.

I'm thinking test your ROM, but whats is the kernel included in the zip file?
Lupus v11? 3.X Kernel?
The main post said dont work JB Camera (4.2.2). There is other camera app included in ROM (CM camera 4.1.2 perhaps) or we must install other third party camera app.

setup wizard pac-man
Hey I flashed the inkludet kernel and did a full wipe and installed the ROM. The Rom boots but then the Setup Wizard does not respond and I cant set upp my phone. A tested this tvice and then re downloadet the rom but got the same results.Is it only me or are others having the same problem Im comming from a nother JB 4.2.2. rom if that helps. I realy want to try this rom and a realy like your work, been using lupus kernel for a long time now. Thanks

No its nAa kernel as I havent started on a 3.x kernel. Of course there is legacy camera like in cm10 included in the R no need to flash extras.

Others seem to be having no problems. Perhaps its something to do with gapps. I'm assuming you used full gapps. Try the mini or light version of gapps. So long as u done your full wipes I can't see any other reason. Maybe try flash ROM let it boot then go back to recovery and flash gapps.
Edit - OK so apparently light gapps just causes FC'ing I'll link to other gapps when I'm home.

i flashed this ROM with full Gapps in Xperia Arc S, and it's working really fine, until now had twice random reboots, but that's not really a problem to me.
other than that the ROM is awesome. :good:
Q: is it okay if i use Lupus JBv11 Kernel? (qurrently using kernel included in ROM)
thanks in advance

See I'm pretty sure its the kernel giving random reboots. But with LuPuS or Fusion kernel, WiFi and Bluetooth will not work on 4.2.

Hey, one question:
Why the Wifi doesn't work on LuPuS or FusioN Kernel? :/
I#m using Paranoidmod now, because od that...
LuPuS Kernel v11 by wedgess + P.A.C.man by wedgess = Doesn't work?

All 4.2 ROMs changed firmware binaries and changed wifiload script. But... suppose I could try get get kernel to install and use old firmware binaries and run lupus wifiload script?? We will see!! maybe I'll push back kernel update until I give it a go and get someone to test.

Hi,
May I also post on the Pro version here? There is no seperate thread for it.
It's my first attempt on a custom rom after using stock ICS. Unfortunately, I found it to be very unstable
My first attempt was Lupus/v21, now I'm on Fusion/v22. Both seem to be highly unstable. Just using apps is normally fine, but a few things seem to provoke lockups including unlocking the screen, listening to music and using the camera.
I did a full wipe before installing (system, cache, dalvik cache, data), I even tried the permissions fix.
Otherwise it seems a great rom, perfect feature set and very fast, but the unstability makes it unusable for me

Yes u can post here also. Comparing any 4.2 ROM to STOCK ICS, stock ICS would be the winner in terms of stability. 4.1 is the best if you want JB IMO. But 4.2 and especially PAC 4.2 has a lot more features, customization amongst other things. It doesn't matter on the kernel its going to be the same. This is why FXP stopped developing after CM10 for the XPERIA 2011 line-up. It will never be 100% stable as will any 4.2 ROM for Xperia 2011.

I don't know what calls you stabillity, but 4.1 is very stable, almost as 4.0. 4.2 isn't stable specially with 3.x kernels, but 4.1 is perfect. And FXP stop the development for 2011 line becase they have to develop for a lot of devices, i think.

I said 4.1 is stable. And no they stopped because without a stable 3.x kernel it would be impossible for a stable 4.2 J. There was no 3.x kernel for 2011 device back then, but even still they knew if there was a 3.x kernel it would need a lot of work to get stable, if it even can.

[Q] Can't install kernel [FIXED]

Hi!
I tried to install several kernel on CM11(2013 12 27 nightly)
the installation is doing well:good:, i quit CWM but when i reboot after the google logo i have some blue/cyan/pink stripes moving slowly, like a big graphic bug... the only kernel working is the CM stock...
have you ever had the same problem? how can i resolve it?:fingers-crossed:

Did you factory wipe before installing CM + the kernel?
What kernel are you trying to install? IIRC CM uses CAF libraries so some kernels might not work when used with CM

I have wiped the cache and the data (it has erased my music is it normal?:what: ) before installing CM but not before installing the kernels which are : Franco kernel nightly r10, and ElementalX N7 2.2 (and an other that I don't remember the name.

Pyroh is right, some kernels will Not work with CM. I know that ElementalX is one that will not work.

Oh! OK! I thought that all kernel were working with CM...
So I have to found a kernel made for C11...

Switching from Dirty Unicorns to Cyanogenmod

Hi Friends,
I am currently running Dirty Unicorns ROM (Android 4.4.2) in my Galaxy S2 T989. I wanted to switch to Cynogenmod 10.2 which would be Android 4.3.
1) Please let me know whether we can go from 4.4.2 to 4.3 or it has a chance of giving problems while installation of CM.
2) I am thinking that I can simply put the CM 10.2 zip and GAPPS on my external SD and boot into recovery(I'm having CWM recovery) to install the CM 10.2 after wiping data and cache. Correct me If there is any other step to follow to switch to CM from other ROMs.
3) Gonna take a backup of user apps using Titanium backup in Dirty Unicorns 4.4.2 and restore those user apps after installing CM 10.2. Please let me know if this works.
Thanks in advance.

It should work if you wipe system, cache, Dalvik cache, and Android secure. Restoring apps might not work. Why go from 4.4 to 4.3? Anything you don't like?

You shouldn't have any problems downgrading if you follow these instructions. However, I will tell you that Cyanogenmod 10.2 stable didn't have the greatest performance on my Hercules - I had a slow lockscreen wakeup and some laggy audio. You might try 10.2 and see if it works any better for you, but I've been much happier with the performance of CM 10.1.3 stable.

Is it! I'm even fine to go to CM 10.1.3. S2 Hercules is my friend's phone and it's me who has changed the ROM to dirty unicorns but now he is not happy with the bugs.
I own a Galaxy S3 running CM 10.2. It's just awesome and super fast so that's the reason I planned for CM 10.2 for S2 Hercules too.
Does CM 10.1.3 have Apollo music player?

CM 10.1.3 does have Apollo! I didn't spend much time on 10.2, but 10.1.3 seems to have every feature from 10.2 (aside from the android version number of course). The difference in speed and responsiveness from stock has been great for me.

I've mostly tried out Jelly Bean ROMs, and as far as JB goes I'd have to say Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 has been my favorite for its simplicity and performance. However, if you're looking for much more customization, AOKP Jelly Bean MR1 Milestone was very stable and performed similarly well to CM. Haven't tried many KitKat ROMs yet, but the new SlimKat release as well as Paranoid Android Legacy seemed great. I stayed with CM for now though.

Nope, when you flash a ROM it'll come with it's own kernel. You can search XDA for a custom kernel (usually includes overclocking features, tweaks, etc), but I've never used a custom one personally. Enjoy!

[Q] Random reboots on Nexus 4 and PA 4.5 BETA

Hi, I get random soft reboots on my Nexus 4 running PA 4.5. It happens on both BETA 1 and BETA 2 releases and it is random.
My Nexus 4 has TWRP recovery and this never happened on PA 4.44/4.45.
Is this an issue of the beta releases?
Thank you!

Nothing changed that would cause random reboots between 4.45 and 4.5. Are you using stock kernel?

I am using Franco Kernel, but on 4.44 and 4.45 versions I did not have any reboot.
Do you thing it is better to keep the stock kernel? Can I just do that by flashing again the rom?

In order to troubleshoot properly, you have to try stock kernel and see if it persists.... Just flash the ROM again without wiping anything.

At the moment, with 11 hours of activity, no reboots or crashes (except a QuickOffice crash). It may have been a kernel-related issue.
Do you think that custom kernels are not useful for a regular use of the phone? Btw I didn't know Paranoid uses Android stock kernel.

Depends on the custom kernel but I prefer a completely stable kernel. When you add a custom kernel you can possibly introduce issues. The whole idea behind the custom kernels is that features are enabled and added for more functionality which means it introduces more complexity and possibly instability.

I am now on PA 4.45 stable with stock kernel, after the 4.5 beta 3 WiFi issue I decided to rollback to stable version.
This morning, when I accessed the memory details in the settings menu, I had a soft reboot while the phone was calculating the used memory. How can this be possibile?

Nexus 7 2013 Installed Franco Kernel Bootloop

Hello, I have got a Nexus 7 2013 unlocked bootloader, rooted and running CyanogenMod 12.1 nightly. Recently I have tryed to install the Franco Kernel since i have heard a lot of good things about it, but whenever i do, it reboots into a very laggy CyanogenMod 12.1 boot animation and goes into a bootloop. I have tried installing through recovery and through the non pro version of the Franco Kernel app. The only way i could fix it is by installing the CyanogenMod 12.1 ROM again. Any help would be much appreciated

That's because the kernel isn't compatible with cm12, cm and stock are built in a different way and a cm kernel is not compatible with stock and vice versa..
If you ever see a laggy bootanimation after flashing a kernel you can be 99,9% sure that it is not compatible with your rom

Use the CAF version of a kernel for CM or CM-based roms. Use AOSP for stock or aosp-based roms.
Franco doesn't have a caf version but most of the other kernels do.
