It's been quite awhile, about two months, but I'm back with a new build of CM10.2! I highly recommend that everyone update to this build because it has several notable changes:
- Fixed all WiFi issues by backporting newer WiFi drivers.
- Compiled ROM with ArchiDroid optimizations (includes -O3 optimizations flags, use of GCC SaberMod 4.8 to build ROM, and miscellaneous mods).

All that is left to fix is Data Usage, Bluetooth, Off-Mode Charging, and Camcorder. I've made some progress on those over the past few months, so I'm going to see if I can finally get them done with. As soon as I pass the few remaining roadblocks preventing me from fixing the existing bugs, I should be able to fix and make a stable CM10.2 suitable as a daily driver for all. I believe that fixing Data Usage involves backporting some kernel drivers (xt_qtaguid). I believe that fixing Bluetooth involves modifying the ramdisk. I believe that fixing Off-Mode Charging involves modifying the ramdisk and BoardConfig.mk. I believe that fixing Camcorder involves some commits to the android_frameworks_av. I really believe that I can tie down these bugs and I owe it none other than to other developers for other msm7x27a devices, especially to KonstaT and TheWhisp. You can download the new build of CM10.2 right here.
Thank you so much!! :D But please don't forget FM Radio. After those, it would be nice :)

Not a bug i think, weather widget does that (searching for current localization). Disable this widget and it should be ok.
@Codename13 latest ROM is working great, even WiFi hotspot is working now ;) Great job!

I think Bluetooth is broken in the latest ba2x kernel: impossible to send files

ok guys i repaired my screen finally so i think i will start to search some new things to add to the kernel and improve performance :D
good to hear that.
it would be nice to have a kernel for benstalk and cm11 with that features etc that you have on your kernels for stock.
i would ask if you can make one if you want.
im using a trend and my wifi is working fine if you have wifi problems just say it and i can make a nandroid backup of my beanstalk and upload it.
thanks in advance.

(Another) New Release of CM10.2

Long story short, I've fixed Data Usage completely. I've also optimized the kernel a bit by using architecture-specific flags in the kernel Makefile, and I've made the kernel allocate slightly more RAM to the user (there is now 660 MB of RAM vs the previous 645 or 646 MB). It might not look like the Data Usage graph works, but you have to wait a couple of days for the data to accumulate. That is because before, the system couldn't access the modules required to record bandwidth and data usage (that's why Data Usage was disabled by the system or force closed if the activity was toggled - because there was no proper Data Usage module found). But now that I've ported some newer netfilter-related stuff to our kernel (and enabled some things in the defconfig), the system can now track bandwidth.

All that's left to fix in CM10.2 is Camcorder, Bluetooth, and Off-Mode Charging. Once I get those three done, I will work on implementing FM Radio. However, I believe that the three remaining bugs will be the hardest ones to fix. I think I'll try my hand at fixing Off-Mode Charging next, because I don't yet have a clue on how to fix Bluetooth or Camcorder. I'll continue some regular research on the bugs we're faced with, to see if other devices has them and how they were able to fix them. Anyways, you can download the awesome new build of CM10.2 right here. If you notice any issues, let me know.

I am unable to change the CPU frequency in the setting or with setCPU. I try to change the max value to anything and it automatically goes back to 1209mhz

Is CM10.2 really faster?

Today I compared CM10.2 side by side with another S7560 on the original stock ROM and CM10.2 felt a little laggy. Stock wasn't fast of course, but was kind of fluid.
Is there any particular reason to that?

If you don't want it to drain your battery, then keep GPS off when you're not using an app that uses it. Or manually set the location for the Weather Panel in CLock. This is not a device-specific bug, so I can't do anything to fix it but disable GPS when not in use. Or even better - use Privacy Guard to disable the permissions for CLock to access GPS.

Glad to know that everything that is supposed to be working is working good for you.
I was searching on the web and i found multiple cm10.2 with floating window peek halo feature etc. i wonder if that is also possible with @Codename13 's cm10.2, because im stuck at the paranoid development and i really really like those features :crying:.

and much more roms.
Unfortunately, I don't like cherry-picking or customizing custom ROM source, unless it's necessary to fix a bug. Don't worry though - I'll help you in a few days or so to sort out the errors you're getting when trying to compile PA.

Can anyone else confirm if Bluetooth is working or not on stock ROM with BA2X 2.0? Does Bluetooth turn on? Do you only get the error when trying to send files? Give me some more details so I can help out.

Is this always, or only in this new build of CM10.2? Although the max value changes back to 1209 mhz cosmetically, it remains at whatever you set it. Still, I'll look into the issue. I feel like it's either an outdated kernel driver issue or an issue in the ramdisk. Probably the former of the two.

I got SeannyM's BA2X and my bluetooth seems to work, i do not know for sending files but Torque can find and use my Bluetooth car scanner just fine.

About Bluetooth on stock: it does turn on and detect other devices but after that everything is a bit buggy: connection to other devices stuck, and when you finally manage to connect by shutting off and on the Bluetooth, files won't be sent, after a couple of minutes it displays an error message: impossible to connect to the device ;)
