I would imagine that if you are on 4.3 + with UB and recovery you should be fine just flashing straight from recovery although fastboot boot.img might be a safer option if you are worried about flashing in recovery.... My in personal experience I have never had a problem just flashing in recovery but found that 4.3 and 4.4 needed to be from 4.3 or fastboot not from recovery on 4.1
Also if you haven't already it will probably be worth while flashing the latest 4.3 ftf 1st then rooting and fastboot boot.img and then flash rom as this will ensure you have up to date baseband firmware etc (is it ftf or tft o can't remember lol)

I was just about to write about this issue - this should be fixed in Beta 3 which should be available as an ota update.

Also this ROM is now official - it has been accepted as an official device and future builds will be performed by the pa build server. I will update the link in the second post to reflect this.

PA guys have disabled/not included them. This is intentionally that way - I just checked in the sources and the lines that copy over pa prefs are commented out.

Nice work the rom is excellent, smooth and stable thanks

 

[lexman098]

What are the PA settings? I'm guessing it's something extra and not the standard way of changing UI modes etc.

Well, what's the purpose of this ROM then if its most important feature is disabled? Did they make the PA settings redundant with some other apps?
