FULL WIPE IS RECOMMENDED FOR ANY VERSION OF THE ROM.

0.Don't restore anything from titanium backup.. its better to download apps from play store...
1.Rom is tested only on fxp, mesa jelly bean and nAa's 2.6 kernel kernel , however it should work fine on others[/B]
2.In MX player , by default use SW decoder.. if the video doesn't work properly , only then use HW decoder.
3.Keep all the animation set at 0.5x in developer options
5.[optional] you can delete 1 of the launcher apps. [2 included]

NOTE : do not use seeder or anything else with this rom ( you dont have to ).. if you do then don't post here about battery life... thanks.

HOW TO INSTALL :

Note : only for unlocked bootlader
1. copy super jelly bean and gapps to sd card
2. flash any jb kernel for your device..
3. (optional but recommended: flash stock ics .587 ftf excluding kernel and simlock.ta files..)
4. boot into recovery
5.full wipes
ie :
wipe data / factory reset
wipe cache partition

( gapps not included )​

Caution : I am not responsible for any damage done to your device or your head by using this you are making these changes on your own..

FAQ :

I am having bootloop( never boots just shows kernel logo and bootanimation ) . What to do ??

Please follow the steps and install correctly because hundreds of users already use the rom without any problem !

I am having a laggy rom

Do a clean install of the rom ie wipe data(factory reset) , wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache , wipe system , wipe data and cache

My wifi is not working

flash the wifi modules (present in addons ) of the respective kernel . it will be present in the kernel thread !!

My keyboard/hardware keyboard is not working

You need to disable the hardware keyboard, to enable any other keyboards. The hardware keyboard will still be working, even if you disable it

I get a status 7 error in cwm after wiping system

1.That's normal because the rom.zip wants to get information about your phone and after wiping system it can't do that. Open the zip on your pc, go to META-INF -> com -> google -> android and open the updater-script with a text editor (like notepad++). Now you delete the first few lines with "assert" and "getprop". Repack the zip and you should be able to flash!

2. If you did the first method and you still get a status 7, could it be you are on lupus kernel? Read the FAQ for more info/help!

CPU settings :

No OC , interactive governor and deadline as scheduler !!

which kernel do you use ? :

nobodyAtall's 2.6 kernel with No OC ,stock settings

Can I even use lupus kernel ? :

It looks like you get a status 7 error while installing the rom on lupus kernel, so better use another one (you can install the rom on any kernel and then flash lupus kernel if you want to, but it seems like there are some problems with lupus)!

Why is rotation not working? :

You have to enable Auto-Rotation in settings -> display -> auto rotation!

How to fix superuser? :

Please try flashing this. It should remove the superuser.apk from /system/app. Then please reinstall superuser or supersu from playstore. If the zip doesn't work, please report!

How to enable ANT+ on this rom? :

Follow the steps on this post by steinarlundemo. Thank you for this great method!

How to disable the button backlight? :

In system/etc/hw_config.sh, look for echo number > $dev/button-backlight/ and change the number! Change it to 1, to disable the light. (Thank you washwash for pointing it out here)

How to fix offline charging (charging when phone is turned off) on this rom? :

Flash the zip from this post by sud.vastav. Thanks for this!

what can i do to repay you ?

just hit the thanks button here

BATTERY TIPS :
Few basic tips to really get the most battery out of your device..

1.Try changing the kernel if you have a heavy battery draining
2.Reduce the screen brightness and the screen time out to a comfortable value
3.Don't Overclock as i said many times already.. use 122/1024 ( even for gaming )
4.Turn off wifi , bluetooth etc when not in use
5.Before going to sleep , turn off useless apps such as whatsapp running in the background
6.Restart your phone once everyday or every two days.. ( i restart my phone everytime before putting it for charging , i usually re-charge only when the battery reaches 1 % )

I've copied that from his thread, but I guess it's optional. Try it

Is this 4.1 or 4.2.2? or 4.2.1? Screenshot?

 

[mauam]

This is 4.1 or 4.2.2? or 4.2.1? Screens?

I think is JB 4.1.2 since is based on cm10.

 

[stikkki]

Initial impression is a nice smooth rom with good touch responce/sensitivity.

Nice to see a rom that hasn't got lots of apps cluttering up my phone, although there are still a few apps that could be left to users to download e.g. keep and mx player. Gapps does install some apps I feel are junk/bloat but that is down to my own preferences.

Would be nice to have some wallpapers & themes in future update.

Lupus JB v7 - wifi not work.
3.0.8-nAa-03_SK17 - wifi working.
3.4.0-nAa-01_SK17 - wifi working.

Problems

Screen only rotates for apps when keyboard is to be used, i.e. when messaging/typing in browser but doesn't rotate launcher/app drawer etc.


I will add more feedback if I find anything else to report

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few screenies for those that are asking (Clean install with only Gapps added)

 

[mihahn]

This is 4.1 or 4.2.2? or 4.2.1? Screens?

It's based on 4.2.1 and I will add some screenshots later :good:

Thank you very much, I guess there's a problem with the rotation sensor. Should be fixed when I rebase it on the latest nightly

It is based on 4.1.2

 

[andogeek10]

I've found another bug:
When the back lights of the keys are on, the hardware keyboard lights stay on. Because of this the battery consumption is high.

 

[kelvin99]

any plan of porting this to all mdpi??

[aravindhramachandran]

Just two questions since I needed both of them badly..
1. Is VIPER sound mod compatible with this and few days back they made it clear like in few JB rom's Viper mod isn't compatible
2. can I take video in full HD and 5 mp snaps in stock 4:3 ratio like i do in stock based rom's and is Google now there by default? or can it be installed?

 

[samajid]

Yeah I'm really sorry, just a typo

Of course it's based on 4.1.2!

1. I haven't ever tried VIPER sound mod, so you could try and report

2. 5MP snaps should work, haven't tried 4:3, will try after the update! Google now should work since it's 4.1.2

Mikes cm10.1 will soon be compatible with kernel 3.4 .. Will u b rebasing to 4.2.2 ?

Sent from my SK17i using xda app-developers app

No I won't, because it's just a port and I didn't make the rom!

 

[stikkki]

I'm not sure if it is the NexMusic player itself or the actual roms' sound quality, but when I listen to an album I play all the time and use earphones I wear all the time, it just doesn't sound right.

I went out earlier for a couple of hours on public transport (bus) and was listening to music the whole time. The volume, when up full, isn't very loud and I could actually hear people talking over my music but my main issue is the sound quality, it is tinny/hissy.

If I turn on the DSP Manager, things get worse, the sound distorts quite bad when the volume is turned up, even though the volume on this rom isn't loud enough to make my earphones distort, this I know as I use them on other roms that are quite a bit louder and have the DSP Manager set higher, i.e. more bass and equalizer set higher.
