CyanogenMod (pronounced /saɪ.'æn.oʊ.dʒɛn.mɒd/) is an enhanced open source firmware distribution for smartphones and tablet computers based on the Android mobile operating system. It offers features and options not found in the official firmware distributed by vendors of these devices.
Features supported by CyanogenMod include native theming support, FLAC audio codec support, a large Access Point Name list, an OpenVPN client, an enhanced reboot menu, support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB tethering, CPU overclocking and other performance enhancements, soft buttons and other "tablet tweaks", toggles in the notification pull-down (such as wi-fi, Bluetooth and GPS), app permissions management, as well as other interface enhancements. CyanogenMod does not contain spyware or bloatware. In many cases, CyanogenMod may increase performance and reliability compared with official firmware releases.
CyanogenMod is developed as free and open source software based on the official releases of Android by Google, with added original and third-party code.

Notable features:
Uses ION memory allocator for audio, display, video playback, etc. (ION everything except for camera)
CAF KitKat ION drivers
CAF KitKat framebuffer drivers in kernel
CAF Jellybean 4.3 display HAL
Hardware vsync
No Maps 7 glitches, Google Chrome glitches, Browser glitches, Gmail glitches, etc.
Uses ION memory allocator
Uses the newest Adreno (graphics) libraries and firmware available for our platform (these are designed for Android 4.2; they are MR1 libraries)
HTCZ715E's WiFi region code fix (region code will no longer reset to USA after a reboot)
Installation:
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to do a standard full wipe (factory reset, system, cache) if you are coming from a different ROM, then install gapps for Android 4.3. If you're coming from a CM10.1 ROM then it is possible to dirty flash this ROM over your current setup and install gapps for 4.3 without wiping anything, HOWEVER, if you encounter ANY issues with this setup then I will not help you fix them. I will only listen to your issues if you do a full wipe before installing this ROM for the first time. When there is an update available it is OK to dirty-flash the update.
Common Problems and Solutions: 1. Problem: The ROM isn't booting! It's stuck on the CyanogenMod boot animation. Solution: Try updating your recovery to the latest version available. If 4ext isn't working then flash the newest version of TWRP, do a full wipe, and flash the ROM. If you're S-ON then flash the boot.img through fastboot while you're at it.
2. Problem: My SD card isn't working! Solution: Re-align your SD card by rebooting to recovery (4ext) and using 4ext's built-in tool to do so. I don't believe this issue plagues long-time users of TWRP.
These first three for all the help with CM10.2:

600.97MB of RAM has been allocated to userspace
No memory allocations are mapped to invalid addresses of over 0x70000000
Framebuffer glitches have been fixed (after the phone would be on for a while, the framebuffer would grow past 0x70000000 and result in artifacts due to addresses over 0x70000000 not existing)
Fixed a potential glitch with the MDP allocation (the space before 0x45C00000 is being allocated to something we don't see in board-pyramid.h, so if MDP were to actually grow past 0x2A90000 then it would grow into that "invisible" allocation and create artifacts)

The skipbrokendatacall flag is no longer enabled by default in build.prop
Focal is no longer included by default as it is too unstable right now; if you still want Focal then you can get it from the Downloads section of the OP
If you are still unable to stop video recording in this build then try rebooting first and if that doesn't work then do a clean install (I am able to take videos but it is still buggy at times)

Nice job! By the way, I know this is kind of impossible, but is tmous WiFi calling even remotely possible?
And yes, SebastianFM says he has a fully working 3.4 kernel with camera working, but that doesn't mean that he will share it with everyone (He says it's of vipers jb ROM). XxXPachaXxX and BanB are also working to port and fix the 3.4 kernel, so we could go to them for additional support as well.

Actually he'll probably share his kernel. But I believe camera libs that he's creating would be necessary to work properly, and I think it won't be shared.
And if I didn't have something to make it different from Albinoman's CM10.1 ROM then posting it would be a waste Personally, the ROM feels a lot faster and smoother with ION
Correct me if I'm wrong but at the very beggining of kernel deving for Sensation we also had only Sense kernel and we had to make it work for AOSP and we made it and it is working. So now if we had ported 3.4 we could make it work on aosp too.

Pretty sure those things require other (presumably kernel) things in order to work so they're probably still broken.

CyanogenMod (pronounced /saɪ.'æn.oʊ.dʒɛn.mɒd/) is an enhanced open source firmware distribution for smartphones and tablet computers based on the Android mobile operating system. It offers features and options not found in the official firmware distributed by vendors of these devices.
Features supported by CyanogenMod include native theming support, FLAC audio codec support, a large Access Point Name list, an OpenVPN client, an enhanced reboot menu, support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB tethering, CPU overclocking and other performance enhancements, soft buttons and other "tablet tweaks", toggles in the notification pull-down (such as wi-fi, Bluetooth and GPS), app permissions management, as well as other interface enhancements. CyanogenMod does not contain spyware or bloatware. In many cases, CyanogenMod may increase performance and reliability compared with official firmware releases.
CyanogenMod is developed as free and open source software based on the official releases of Android by Google, with added original and third-party code.
Source: CyanogenMod Wiki
Notable features:
Uses ION memory allocator for audio, display, video playback, etc. (ION everything except for camera)
CAF KitKat ION drivers
CAF KitKat framebuffer drivers in kernel
CAF Jellybean 4.3 display HAL
Hardware vsync
No Maps 7 glitches, Google Chrome glitches, Browser glitches, Gmail glitches, etc.
Uses ION memory allocator
Uses the newest Adreno (graphics) libraries and firmware available for our platform (these are designed for Android 4.2; they are MR1 libraries)
HTCZ715E's WiFi region code fix (region code will no longer reset to USA after a reboot)
Installation:
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to do a standard full wipe (factory reset, system, cache) if you are coming from a different ROM, then install gapps for Android 4.3. If you're coming from a CM10.1 ROM then it is possible to dirty flash this ROM over your current setup and install gapps for 4.3 without wiping anything, HOWEVER, if you encounter ANY issues with this setup then I will not help you fix them. I will only listen to your issues if you do a full wipe before installing this ROM for the first time. When there is an update available it is OK to dirty-flash the update.
Common Problems and Solutions: 1. Problem: The ROM isn't booting! It's stuck on the CyanogenMod boot animation. Solution: Try updating your recovery to the latest version available. If 4ext isn't working then flash the newest version of TWRP, do a full wipe, and flash the ROM. If you're S-ON then flash the boot.img through fastboot while you're at it.
2. Problem: My SD card isn't working! Solution: Re-align your SD card by rebooting to recovery (4ext) and using 4ext's built-in tool to do so. I don't believe this issue plagues long-time users of TWRP.
These first three for all the help with CM10.2:

Camera can record videos longer than 30 seconds
Made minfree values a little stricter
Enabled KSM (kernel samepage merging) by default for more RAM
Fixed issue where mapping a custom action to the search key did not work (credit: tdimarzio)
Disabled WiFi background scan support by default (this setting kept WiFi turned on even after WiFi was turned off; if you'd like to re-enable this feature then go to Advanced settings in WiFi)
Removed scrolling tweaks
Kernel: Both:
Increased CPU voltage for better stability (and to hopefully fix random reboots)
Enabled "Allocate 2nd-level pagetables from highmem" (CONFIG_HIGHPTE, which is a sub-setting for HIGHMEM)
Allocated more RAM to audio in an attempt to fix audio distortion issues
8/27/2013: ROM:
Latest upstream CyanogenMod changes
Fixed lags
Use the camera app from CM10.1 now as it is much more stable
Set vibration intensity to the maximum
8/26/2013: ROM:
Latest upstream CyanogenMod changes
ROM is now compiled fully with Linaro GCC 4.7.4
ROM has been patched with many fixes from IAmTheOneTheyCallNeo that improve stability and performance when the ROM is built with Linaro
ROM now uses full GPU rendering
Kernel: Both:
Added more WiFi changes from CAF
Added CPU-based alignment handling (improves performance)
Added USB modem support
Re-enabled memory compaction
Fixed all the freezing (freezing was fixed by re-enabling memory compaction)
Fixed dmesg (AKA /proc/kmsg)
Removed cleancache (it was never being used)
8/24/2013: ROM:
Latest upstream CyanogenMod changes
Upstream: updated to Android 4.3_r2.2 (previously was 4.3_r2.1)
Added VOIP support (to fix Viber and other similar apps) (credit: mikeyman77)
Added some flags to make graphics and animations smoother (credit: cyanogen)
Potentially fixed an issue with Bluetooth (credit: cyanogen)
Added NLJ's sweep2wake fix while calling
Kernel: Both: Brand new WiFi driver from CAF (Code Aurora Forum) for more info read my post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44933333&postcount=986
Many of the modules are in the kernel image now so you don't have to manually load them anymore
Made some minor memory changes to fix lag
8/23/2013: ROM:
Latest upstream CyanogenMod changes
Focal is now included in the ROM again as most of its force closes were fixed upstream
Kernel: Both:
Disabled memory compaction
Included kernel:
Now has 596MB RAM
The memory map should be completely stable now
Optional 624MB RAM kernel:
Random reboots should be fixed (if you're still getting reboots non-related to BCMDHD then I will investigate)
Kernel now only has the ability to record up to 720P video (the 624MB RAM kernel cannot record 1080P video)
8/21/2013: ROM:
Latest upstream CyanogenMod changes
Dalvik/vm: Dalvik startup with a low memory footprint (credit: Arco)
ROM is now compiled with mikeNG's GCC 4.7 toolchain
Fstab: remove the "check" option from data, causes hang on subsequent boots (credit: Albinoman887)
Kernel:
Updated to Linux 3.0.93
Attempted to fix random reboots caused by BCMDHD
Compiled with the August release of Christopher83's Cortex-A8 optimized Linaro GCC 4.7.4 toolchain Implemented new custom memory map New memory map features:
600.97MB of RAM has been allocated to userspace
No memory allocations are mapped to invalid addresses of over 0x70000000
Framebuffer glitches have been fixed (after the phone would be on for a while, the framebuffer would grow past 0x70000000 and result in artifacts due to addresses over 0x70000000 not existing)
Fixed a potential glitch with the MDP allocation (the space before 0x45C00000 is being allocated to something we don't see in board-pyramid.h, so if MDP were to actually grow past 0x2A90000 then it would grow into that "invisible" allocation and create artifacts)
8/18/2013: ROM:
latest upstream CyanogenMod changes
fixed the booting issue with some devices (credit: Albinoman887 for implementing this and Team Evervolv for their fstab code)
replaced the choppy CRT animation when locking the screen with the smooth fade out animation that Nexus devices have
made some random changes to the camerawrapper in an attempt to make the camera more stable
added GooManager app
added support for OTA updates through GooManager (all future releases will be available to download OTA through GooManager)
Kernel:
WiFi: enabled high performance mode (PM_FAST) by default when the screen is off for faster OTA update downloading when the screen is off
8/17/2013: ROM:
latest upstream CyanogenMod changes
renamed 99kernel init.d script to 89kernel in order to avoid a conflict with 90userinit (credit: duck0)
Kernel:
Updated to Linux 3.0.91
Fixed SD card issues (i.e. the bug where the phone froze when using the SD card extensively)
8/15/2013 TWO: ROM:
latest upstream CyanogenMod changes
The skipbrokendatacall flag is no longer enabled by default in build.prop
Focal is no longer included by default as it is too unstable right now; if you still want Focal then you can get it from the Downloads section of the OP
If you are still unable to stop video recording in this build then try rebooting first and if that doesn't work then do a clean install (I am able to take videos but it is still buggy at times)
Kernel:
Updated to Linux 3.0.90
8/15/2013: ROM:
latest upstream CyanogenMod changes
Superuser works now without the Developer options workaround
Updated RIL to 4.0.0056HMQ (thanks to Noobel for providing the 4.0.0056HMQ package)
Network scanning is fully functional (thanks to the 4.0.0056HMQ RIL)
99kernel init.d script: use Deadline I/O scheduler by default (rather than SIO)
99kernel init.d script: set default max frequency to 1512MHz (rather than 1566MHz)
99kernel init.d script: enable fsync by default
