Do I need to flash SuperSU after flashing this ROM. I can't seemed to be able to save the change.

Select system folder and edit properties using es file explore is how I did it this morning

I tried changing the LCD top 320, but I'm unable to save the change. I also did grant the SuperSU to ES File Explorer when prompted.
Anything I missed?

Push and hold on system folder. When it selects at the bottom will be a more. Under more there is a properties setting. You need to edit these.for.the.change to stick.

For both the System folder and build.prop file, it's showing Readable: Yes, Writable:Yes.
What do I need to edit to the system folder properties?

Should be it

Here's the funny thing. I tried to view the properties of the 2 items from the Simple File explorer that cam with this Rom an it's saying they only have read permission. Is there another app that can change the permission?

es file explorer (free) or root explorer (paid).

All set now, I used X-plore and configured Root access with Superuser + mount writable.
I eyes had been suffering for the last 24 hours.
Thank you.

I got screen res changed... I think it was a bad flash. Nothing I tried would work. I reflashed, and I worked like a charm. Thank you all for putting up with me

this no longer uses AD5GB's kenel?

Is there a task manager in this? Been a while since I ran 4.4, and I can't find the darn thing... I'm looking for an easy way to switch between running applications.

OK, forget that... Which confirms my bad flash of yesterday. I had none on the last go around.

No but you can easily swap out boot.img, file_contexts, and system/lib/modules back into the rom and get it back if that's the kernel you want to use. I need to update the op and change the kernel source later.

What are the changes? Is there an easy way to Wheatley governor? Have had couple time I had to make it reboot, would not wake up.

changes can be found here http://www.slimroms.net/. Diablo kernel doesn't have that governer so you would need to flash a different kernel to achieve that. Sorry about the SOD (sleep of death) but setting max at 1512mhz and min at 384mhz and governer on interactive and io to deadline or at least that's been working for, haven't had to reboot to wake it up just had to push the power button multiple times to get it to wake up.

The pollutions ROM patch seems to be able to patch uber kernal and its not had a sleep lock since. I'm about to upgrade to 8.4 when my battery charges.

Try clearing data and see if that helps, its working fine for me via browser as well as the app. Any chance did you obtain youtube from gapps?

Best KitKat ROM I've used on this device. Didn't flash a kernel cuz it made it unstable. Works best straight outta the box . fast and responsive even after installing all apps . no issues thus far .

Thank you, glad you're enjoying it. 8.4 seems to be the most stable out of all the releases haven't had much trouble with it or random reboots compared to older versions. Its always great to hear its running smoothly for users.
