Installation instructions
- BACKUP YOUR DATA (using CWM)
- Verify that your backup is complete - a backup of your sdcard may also be a good idea (see below)
- Verify that you are running hboot 1.26 or newer (hboot 1.39 is recommended)
- Download the ZIP and the boot.img (see Downloads)
- Copy the .zip to your sdcard and reboot into fastboot
- fastboot flash boot boot.img, then boot into recovery
- WIPE your phone (this is not optional)
- Install the .zip and reboot
Upgrading
You can always upgrade to a newer version without wiping any data, formatting system or wiping the cache.
But keep in mind that you must always flash boot.img + re-flash gapps after upgrading
Changelog
RC20 (20130825)
- Fixed the two Android 'master key' bugs
- Kernel patch for CVE-2013-2094
- Merged CMs audio volume patch (http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/33778/)

- Option to control button backlight depending on the screen brightness (Settings -> Display)
- Software fix for pabx's broken headphone jack detecion: Added an option to forcefully route mediaplayer-output to the headphone jack. (Settings -> Audio)

- Added ro.adb.secure=1 to build.props. The phone will now only accept ADB connections from authenticated hosts. Note that you must upgrade your local ADB installation to the version included in the 4.2.2 SDK. Connecting with an pre-4.2.2 adb will not work

- Mounting USB-OTG devices on 4.2 is somewhat tricky as filesystems are not shared with 'parent' processes - using some userspace app like 'Nexus Photo Importer' is recommended

FAQ
I can not upgrade my hboot to 1.3x, help!
You can still run RC13:
This was the last release using Linux 2.6 and will therefore work on older hboot versions. RC13 is stable enough for everyday-use.
What kernel should i use?
Use the stock kernel from boot.img - there is nothing wrong with it. Using a different boot.img or/and kernel will just break stuff.
Even more links!
