NOTICE:
]As a lot of users are posting none related stuff or questions where the answer is already in the OP I think it is best to add a Q&A thread for this rom as I want to keep this thread clean and easy to follow for the user.
I'm giving Android.Ninja full control of this thread.
He will be answering questions and helping you out. Don't pm me , Android.Ninja will decide if it is important enough to pm me. And if so he will contact me.
DON'T pm me.
I'm not samsung help desk
From now on every post without logcat, screenshot or clear explanation of the problem (rom , device, kernel, app) I will consider it as a user error.
The Q&A sjit sjat thread is here.
