They said it will be released with the new S4.

ok, well samsung are messing their 4.1.2 up atm, so im not updating to mr2, mb1/2 - if theres another one soon that is back to normal then i will upgrade to that

didn't they actually say 4.2.1 will be released for the s3 when the s4 is officially announced in april/may not released?

Everything that was added to XXEMR2 is in the latest 4.2.1 leak also.

Re: [ROM][XXEMA2][14Feb] ●CodecROM™ 10.5.2● | Black Edition | Pure Customization

Hi, it is still impossible lock icon from status bar ?

No, the removal method described in the q&a thread still works. If what you meant is does DSA provide an easy removal method then I'm afraid the answer is no.

I think I might have found a bug! In Codec 10.52, I set the settings-display-display timeout to 1 minute, but after shutdown the phone (at night) and powering it on in the morning, display timeout is back to the default, 20 minutes! Anyone want to confirm?

Confirm. Mine jumps randomly from 30s to 20 minutes. I did not find any pattern of actions that would lead to the 20min change.

    Too crowded in here, too many aosp roms, too many fanboys

    Im done, its been a nightmare all the way through
    Unless you release an update every couple of days, people arent interested - thats not what rom building is about imo
    I guess ultimarom is the one for you lot now, its based on my work anyway
    See ya around the forums

    Thanks to all the relevant people, you know who you are
