For those uninitiated, Asylum CM10 is a slim, debloated and fast CM10 based Rom. It had its two previous iterations:
the first one (ICS and JB) done by Anti, the second one (JB) by Jack the Ripper. Sadly, both of them petered out for
one reason or another. Asylum CM really grew on me, so I just had to ask Anti for permission to resurrect my first
love, and he said yes.
Sreenshots:
What does Asylum CM10 has to offer?
Unnecessary apps are chucked out, thus reducing the Rom size to 119 Mb only.
Everything is blacked out, no official CM10 grey.
Superuser is replaced by SuperSU.
Safe CM10 kernel and recovery with eMMC_CAP_ERASE disabled.
Performance tweaks
UI tweaks
Ad blocking hosts
Default DPI set to 240
Good battery life
Speed and smoothness
CM10 theming compatibility
No multi-widows, sadly
How often will the Rom be updated?
There'll be a new version as soon as there is at least 6-7 CM10 new merges, or if there's only one crucial change.
It could be daily, or every few days.
How do I flash it?
You must be on a safe kernel and recovery. If you are not sure, check this thread out to see which ones are safe!
If coming from previous Asylum Phoenix version:
1. boot into recovery
2. wipe cache and dalvik
3. flash the Rom
4. reboob
There's no need to reflash Gapps.
If coming from any other safe kernel except Philz:
1. reboob to recovery
2. do a full wipe, including your posterior
3. flash the Rom
4. flash Gapps
5. reboob
If coming from a Rom containing PhilZ kernel:
1. flash a CM10 kernel
2. stay in CWMR, go to advanced/reboot recovery
3. factory reset, wipe dalvik
3. flash the Rom
4. flash Gapps
5. reboob

Removed apps. You have to extract those you need, paste or push them to /system/app,
fix permissions so they are the same as the other apps in the folder and reboob. It is NOT a flashable zip.
What is not working:
Whatever doesn't work in official CM10.
