I don't know it's a right place to write down this kind of thread. But it contains a contents about ROM so... I think this Forum is right place.
Okay Let's starts it.
Here are some informations and news about CM7 and MIUI for streak.
First I'm not good at English so some sentences were broke and I don't know I can write down what I want to said.
When I find that both ROMs were on xda, I announce it to hPa, developer who ports CM7/MIUI for streak and HeffyEnd who translate MIUI into Korean and add some patches.
they posted some article at Korea's dell streak user community and HeffyEnd show a way to use the MIUI into English. HeffyEnd tries to write about that at xda but he didn't write a post or thread at xda yet so I posts it.
First, hPa says he will upload and posts some informations and datas at xda's Streak Forum.
He says he will upload data about CM7 and MIUI's development and also how to change Streak's frame late into 55Hz. He will comes to this forum so if someone want to ask something, ask to him.
and he also say he didn't know how exactly he active a 2.4Ghz at Streak. He didn't tries to fool the developers and users, he didn't know the what's the problem of this fake clock(or useless 2.4Ghz… well I don't know to what to call this happening) problem so he just guesses about it.
He says his CM7 uses different clock rule after 988MHz, so He guesses the two tables which able to over clock to 1.4Ghz and 2.4Ghz are actually shows the same result without clock rate they show it.
and Korean user Deltaman tries a test on CM7 and figure our that the effect of over clock decrease after 1267Mhz. Aututu score increased when he increase the clock after 1267Mhz but effect was decrease. and result of 1806/2208/2476MHz is almost same(3216/3352/3351 point).
I say once again. "He didn't tried to fool others. It just a accident or something like that."
by the way, He hopes that xda's developers will make improve versions bases of his develop result. Yes, he hopes it.
Second, HeffyEnd says that there is a way to use the English version of MIUI.
There is a two MIUI rom. One is released by hPa and the other one is translated and modified by HeffyEnd. At the xda's link, I think It's the HeffyEnds.
HeffyEnds rom is optimized to Korean not for other country's so it's hard to use it outside Korea so use the hPa's MIUI instead.
http://www.mediafire.com/?y16376w3a8shlwi
At this link, you can download a original hPa's MIUI. Download this ROM and modify it's build.prop file.
When you open the build.prop file, you can see the text like below
ro.product.locale.language=ko
ro.product.locale.region=KR
change ko and KR into en and EN so both line will change like these
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=EN
save it and install it. HeffyEnd says to use this way, you can use the English version of MIUI.
by the way, this ROM is customized to Korean's phone number system so… It doesn't fit to other country's one. I mean some phone number at address book could be looks odd.
and I need to add some information about MIUI.
This MIUI ROM needs some times to stable after installation. After you install and reboot it. Do not touch streak about 5~10min to Rom will takes stable. I recommend 15min for safety.
If you uses phone without this rest time or try to use too fast, This rom show some errors. When I tried to use little bit hurry, I failed to add my google account at MIUI. So I reinstalled it and take a 15mins breaks, It works fine.
There is a more things you need to before you uses MIUI.
- Goes setting->My Location->Automatic Assisted GPS to OFF. If you don't do it. GPS didn't works well.
- Run superuser application and turn off the root. push the setting button on streak to call a menu and select a setting. At there you see the Root permission control, Turn off and turn it on again. After that, reboot.
- At the home screen, push device's menu button -> goes to home setting -> turn off and on the high quality and shadow.
and finally, I don't exactly know about that, MIUI has a problem when you using the titanium backup's full recovery mode(data and apps), So don't use it or partly recover what you needs. In my opinion, I recommend you to re setting datas manually.
In contrast, MIUI recovery works fine.
and last... I want to say about other ROM develop tries at Korea. I don't know those developer like to announce it but this is a common information at Korea so it thinks it doesn't make an problem.
- Three developers were tries to make a CM9. They has a their own version of CM9 test rom. I don't know now they uses hPa's data but they were trying to make it.
- The other ROM developer calls lonkey12 ,who makes a ROM calls LICS MOD(It does not released on XDA), tries to port CM7. It's the different to hPa's try. There is a some rumor that he tries to port CM9, but I failed to check it's true.
- There is a one more developer tries to develop custom ROM for Streak. NeCoritol who makes a NeCoroiD ROM(You can see his name and his rom at xda wiki but not uploaded here) tries somethings. I don't know what exactly he makes but he tries something.

My custom rom compiled from the source cyanogenmod 9 ICS 4.0.4 for u8650 GSM
Unofficial CM9 LuckyIcsGsm 4.0.4 ---> google....
OMG!!! Thank you soo much! its amazing!
but I have two problems
1. The call volume is really quiet on the loudest setting, and loudspeaker doesnt work well.
2. Mobile data dosent work, pages just load forever and never actually open.
Other than that, its an amazing rom
Hi
I have posted my custom rom here on xda ----> the link Here
Only hardware bug is Photocamera and Video.....
Beta 5 with bluetooth fixed and other.....
Since i'm new here i can't post on the LuckICSgsm thread, but i'd like to point out these bugs:
1. Can't send SMS to groups
2. Many times incoming calls don't show the caller's name
3. Can't dial frequent numbers (from the frequent numbers tab)
Fix these and the camera and the ROM will be the best out there for this phone, truly outstanding, way better than stock, way faster and stable than any other custom ones out there

I totally agree! I had these problems, but also that the phone calls where really hard to hear.
I will definitely use this rom when these are fixed and the camera works

Launcher is slightly slow, animations aren't as smooth and gapps must be installed separately, these are basically the cons

It's stable and all but overall really slow, i'm using GGR next gen with 360 launcher which is a lot faster, the only downside to me is having the settings in a widget and not in the pull down toggle

Here are 3 possible solutions to fix fast dormancy (FD) bug on Stock 2.3.3 ROMs. This isn't tested yet (needs testing). If anybody use this fix, please give credit and press the Thanks button!
1st solution
Open dialer
Type *#9900#
Select disable
2nd solution
Open buid.prop
Add this line to the end
Code:
ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0
3rd solution
Open Dialer
Type *#*#9900#*#*
Thanks man i needed

Fast Dormancy drains too much battery, its better switched off.
I tested 3G with and without it, and found no difference.
FYI : the dialer code is universal, works on all ROMS ;tested on CM7 nightlies
And if you can turn it off with a built-in feature, ot's not a bug
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
Why post it without testing? I can say for sure that at least #2 doesn't work, because I tried it long ago.
Can somebody using one of the affected ROMs (V20A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H) test it? I'm not using one of these ROMs (I'm on V20I), so I can't test it.
I honestly believe #1 and #3 won't work either, but I hope to hear the contrary from anyone who test it.
P.S.: Just to remember, the bug is triggered after you turn off mobile data.

That one is pretty neatly explained.
But, I'm pretty sure the OP saw 'his' method from either of the following links, both of which are related to the Galaxy SII :
-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111581
-> http://www.ctrlplusz.com/2011/07/disable-fast-dormancy-improve-battery-life-on-the-galaxy-s-ii/
@OP
The aforementioned second method is not working, confirmed.
The 1st and last are working, as I said before, they can be applied universally.
EDIT : I had this thread reported as it has no connection whatsoever with Android Development.
Also, Fast Dormancy is NOT a bug. Its a feature.
Why is everybody flaming? I am trying to post a solution for battery drain because i see so many people crying "please use v20i...plz...plz" so this is for them...and if you don't have anything helpful, please cease from posting.
@Lycan
FD obviously is a feature.
But on stock ROM GB, it makes the phone always awake, so this is the bug we are refering to.
Also, by your post, I suppose you are on CM 7.2.
CM has no problem with it.
The solutions is meant for stock ROMs.
@OP
I have something helpful to post.
#1 and #2 doesn't work on stock ROM for sure (tested).
And sorry, but I do think you should check before throwing blindly any mention of FD you find on internet (that aren't even for our device).
"That is not helpful also", since you claim a post has to be it (and I agree).
Can somebody say anything about #3?

Agreed. Code doesn't work. Using stock v20d. Time for me to upgrade
So, Just days after making my post about my thoughts on the latest stable Miui.us Rom which is version 2.10.26.3 I was looking through the original dev section and came across (almost as soon as it was put out) The Miui Lens edition. Which was originally titled to imply that the rom was able to be used right off the bat as a daily driver, so I downloaded, and installed it. And here was my original impression.
Before the first update release the rom was uninstallable, but this was fixed.
I installed it to realize that I stupidly had not installed gapps, so I picked from one of my default gapps version I keep on my SD card, and installed it.
I got back into the rom, to realize that out of the hardware keys (back, home, recent apps) the only one working, was back.
Within minutes, this rom was updated to fix said issue. And I currently have all buttons working, that said I am having a haptic feedback issue where none of the buttons make the phone vibrate, this was not enough of an issue to get me off the rom, so I continued and until today was waiting for another update to hopefully fix the issue, but even with said update, issues are existant that still make phone usage not completely satisfying, as it was in the Miui.us 2.10.26.3 version of this rom.
Usability current Testing results, and thoughts:
I would like to start out here by saying that I have every intention of going back to the lens release of miui as soon as I can confirm that it is stable enough for ME to use as a daily, which for me, generally means that everything I do on the phone has to function properly, without the need of downloading a separate application, or having to fix things manually. I like the lens release of the rom more SPECIFICALLY because of the developer. His releases of the Miui rom are getting better, not worse, and I likely believe that he will create the perfect Miui rom for our phone faster than the developers at Miui.us.
1. Miui Launcher Configuration is functioning properly
2. Miui Themes is currently functioning properly as long as an account is set up, during the set up process.
3. Miui Music test showed first, that the app was functioning properly, however upon secondary test of setting configuration I realized that when
the Id3 tag correction and album art download was enabled without setting up an account during setup process, that the music app would F/C
I rebooted and cleared my cache and dalvic.
4. Headphone test (Brought to you by the Lens Rom Forum) failed, without an application (headphone toggle) from the Marketplace any -----------headphones plugged into the device, will not output sound. The device will remain on speaker.
5. Miui Sound Recorder, upon initializing sound record brings the emergency notification (Internal Application Error)
6. Miui Music Visualizer on both lockscreen and widget are responding to system sounds only (such as a notification, or a previously enabled or defaulted touch sound. They do not respond to music.
7. Miui will not detect that music is playing and alter the lockscreen to music format for you, because of this, to access the lockscreen music controls you must double tap on the...dongle to drag and unlock, to switch to the music control lockscreen, this is not a major issue, however with the visualizer not working, the controls, and the widget look a tad bland for Miui. (odd how that works)
8. The Miui Virus Scanning Application is functioning properly (a test was done with a known app to contain a virus, it was found and removed)
9. The Miui Shake to organize on home screen is not currently an available feature for this rom.
10. The Miui Notes application is functioning properly.
11. The Miui Setup Process was completed without error.
12. Miui Wifi download speeds seem comparable to sense. However an issue with rom abuse may cause you to loose ALL internet access until phone was rebooted, I cannot test further as I am still currently unaware of how this happened. But after I got this rom, I was preforming tests on it to test stability for 3 hours straight without letting the device sleep, after 3 hours (and some odd minutes) my internet, while displaying I had a perfect connection in 3g, and wifi, would not download an app, load a webpage (tested on 3 separate browsers), or allow internet access to an application.
13. The Miui firewall application, Seems, to be functioning properly, however when first setup it did not block the first incoming call from test subject. All others, were blocked respectively.
14. The Miui Camera featured in this rom (actually a camera from a previous AOSP rom) is functioning properly, with all settings configured, It is not a Miui Camera but a modded camera none the less, and has interesting features, that I will miss, upon loosing this rom.
15. All Miui Notification configurations are working properly
16. Miui sound mods have been enabled on this device, allowing me to hear my ringtone from 3 rooms away in an apartment (currently not so on cm10, and Paranoid android (tho I do love that rom))
17. Miui Online music, notifications, themes, album art, and id3 tag correction will only work if an account is set up at the initial boot of the room during setup.
18. The Miui Torch is working without issue on this rom.
19. Awesome beats v3 is untestable at the moment but assumed working, as headphones can be enabled.
20. The Miui Built in equalizer is working properly on this rom.
21. The Komodo Sweep to Wake OC kernel is currently working properly on this rom.
22. Live wallpapers are working correctly on this rom
23. Miui Weather Widgets cannot function without a translated version of the Miui Weather Application that can detect US cities (not yet available)
24. The Miui Clock application seems to be functioning properly (tested alarm, timer, timezone config, and stopwatch)
25. The Miui Smart Dialer seems to be functioning properly
26. The Miui Call Record feature seems to be functioning properly (tested on a call with test subject)
27. Lockscreen wallpaper changer, homescreen wallpaper change, and live wallpaper change are functioning properly .
28. There is not a Miui Toolbox application on this rom (No root configuration other than what is listed in settings)
29. Adblock for android seems to be working on this rom.
30. Notification dual touch re-size seems to be functioning correctly on this rom.
31. Lucky patcher confirmed installed properly on this rom.
32. LBE guard and App control Miui Applications are functioning properly on this rom.
33. Prompt requesting root access is working properly on this rom.
34. Anreboot, and goo manager are working properly on this rom.
35. Dual core AOSP mod is functioning properly on this rom.
36. All but weather widgets are currently functioning properly on this rom.
37. Google voice (brought to you by the Lens rom Forum) is not currently working on this rom.
-I would like to point out, that sprint is partnered with google voice, and you can set it to replace your actual voicemail, and text you visual voicemail, making all your texts go to you, and all calls go to you, you have visual voicemail, and regular voicemail. It will also screen your calls and blah blah, idk what the app is for if it already does that, if you know something that you would be missing, please inform me promptly.
38. Lucky patcher patch confirmed working on all different configurations on multiple applications.
39. Flash for JB is working perfectly on this rom.
40. the Miui Browser is functioning perfectly on this rom.
41. the miui contacts application is functioning properly on this rom.
42. The miui messaging application is working properly on this rom.
43. The Miui Torch application is functioning properly on this rom.
44. The miui (breaking news) I just got another music F/C on lockscreen double-tap access
45. The miui Compass is working properly on this rom.
46. All lockscreen transition options are working properly on this rom.
47. 3g, 1x signal bars seem to be accurate in comparison to sense rom.
48. Calendar, reminders for calendar, and notifications for calendar are working properly on this rom.
49. GPS is gives me results accurate to 100 meters on this rom instantly, on Miui.us I get an instant lock to within 20 meters.
50. Mirror widgets are working properly on this phone.
51. Bluetooth is working properly on this rom.
If you have something you would like me to test other than the 51 things i have already tested for you please let me know below and I will try to get around to it within 1-2 days. I will keep a backup of this and of The Miui.us rom and keep them both updated, i will also, keep both of these posts updated to the best of my ability.
Thank you very much, and i hope you have a wonderful day.
Who are you?

I am...
I am a rom addicted htc user who wants to provide information for those who don't wish to flash a rom, and then find problems, when they could have looked to someone to tell them in the first place, and saved themselves the trouble.
I am also a rom addicted htc user who wants to see the roms I have loved on other devices (like the Miui rom) brought to the phone I love.
So I test to ensure that no one who is looking for a daily driver has to go through the pains of downloading a broken rom without them knowing about it when the information about the problems was nowhere to be found, but the good things about the rom displayed clearly in plain sight.
Thank you for replying to my post, and I hope you have a wonderful day.
If you're gonna do this you should make a general ROM review thread instead of making a new one every time you review a different ROM. Every time you write a different review in the thread just update the op with a link to the post with that review. Its not a bad idea what you're doing. It would just be better for everyone, including yourself, to have them consolidated into one thread.
Thank you for viewing my post.

Definitely understood youdug, actually thinking about creating a thread and moving all old OP review threads down a notch, so that the new review can be made more easily readable by people with quick running attention spans as the thread is updated, using multiple edits thats gonna be a hassle though at the moment while i have a time restricted limit on editing and posting, i was also posting them in seperate threads so that they would be viewed quicker and i could assign multiple tags to each, but i hadnt really thought about how i could put them in one thread while making them easily accessible.
Will definitely create a general rom review thread and find a way to make it work and once again...
Thank you for viewing my post, replying on my post, and i hope you have a wonderful day.

I am a rom addicted htc user who wants to provide information for those who don't wish to flash a rom, and then find problems, when they could have looked to someone to tell them in the first place, and saved themselves the trouble.
I am also a rom addicted htc user who wants to see the roms I have loved on other devices (like the Miui rom) brought to the phone I love.
So I test to ensure that no one who is looking for a daily driver has to go through the pains of downloading a broken rom without them knowing about it when the information about the problems was nowhere to be found, but the good things about the rom displayed clearly in plain sight.
Thank you for replying to my post, and I hope you have a wonderful day.

i recommend that you make you own rom and review it
Assuming the authenticity of your post I suggest a pro and con approach to reviewing. Saying that a certain feature is working just makes your review look like a college textbook.
"Thoughts on the New LENS Miui Release."
My thoughts are that it, and a few other ROMs, aren't GPL compliant.

I was thinking wow, amazingly harsh considering I watched this rom coming together over xda via communication between lens and various testers since he doesn't even have the device.. Maybe consider knowing how things came about b4 criticizing?? Just my 2 cents.. No intent of offense whatsoever..
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
thankyou...XHAUS
and the others....
I will try and update my rom fully and comply with the gpl compliance rule...
I may have been mistaken but...I thought GPL only complied to Kernels and maybe source based roms.....
If i am doing something wrong..;.Please let me know through PM and I will be sure to fix whatever is wrong....
But to all you evo users
and to all miui users this projects that i am doing for the evo lte is all thanks to the testers.
I couldnt have completed the rom since I dont have the phone..But thanks to the testers here
We all made this happen

Thank you for replying to my post. I could make it that way but im going to have to figure out how to do so without leaving some things out for testing, I suppose I could test and not post all the results from my testing on the forum and only post that things are working or that they aren't and I appreciate you taking the time to reply to my post.
@flex 360
I hope you do not take this as a REVIEW of the rom, but simply as what is working and what isn't, and im only displaying this information for the people who don't want to take the time to go through 100 pages of a forum to find out if a problem has been solved, just to find 20 pages later that another problem has shown up, Im not displaying this for people testing the rom as they want to go through and find the issues that you may have missed and comment on them to help development. Im writing these from the viewpoint of someone who doesn't want to test a rom, but does want to use it, because I am certain you know that there are a lot more of those people out there than people willing to test the rom.
But if you would like me not to post a view on your rom, I suppose I will not, but I can already promise you, that sometime in the past I have already flashed your rom onto my phone and used it for atleast a little while.
@fpineda101
Thank you for replying to my post, and I am glad that you understand what I am trying to do here along with some others. I am starting to understand that these "reviews" are coming off, to some people, in a different way than I intended them to. Although I would have left the term "noob" out of my comment I appreciate your understanding.
@sparytrainor
Thank you for replying to my post. I sincerely wish you would have read the entire OP before making a comment such as that. I gave many compliments to Lens throughout the entire thing, and I still believe he will have the rom working perfectly on our phones before anyone else out there because of how much effort he is putting into the development of his rom, I in no way intended to state anything negative about his rom, But to give information to people not looking to test, what is working, and what is not. Now that I understand how it is coming off to you and others I will begin to choose my wording more carefully.
Also, I had the rom within minutes of it being posted on xda-developers, and watched as it developed through the forum for a few days. To claim that I should look into knowing the person when I was one of the first to download and await progress is an incorrect assessment.
I also know that he is creating this rom without having the actual phone, which is inspiring, and another reason I attempted to compliment him throughout the entire process of the OP.
@Lens_Flare
Thank you VERY much for replying on my post. I do very much appreciate it and I hope you took no offence to my OP as I in no way intended for it to come off negative. I also hope that you understand my original (and previously stated) purpose for these threads. I am simply stating to the people, (not testers) but the majority, who are looking for a rom to stick with, that they can enjoy from start to finish.
I expect you to be the first to complete this rom for our phone and make it fully functional, WHICH IS ASTOUNDING because you do not have the actual phone. In all respects I look up to you and all rom devlopers on this phone as I am not one who currently possess is the ability to make one, and to be honest if I ever wanted to gain the knowledge and EVER create a rom, it wouldn't become popular as it would be a rom I could not post on this site (for legal reasons based on the apps and features that the rom contained, such as lucky patcher and black mart)
@All Rom Devs on xda-developers.com
I honestly had hoped that I would not have to clarify, least of all to you, my intentions for these threads. I simply originated with thoughts similar to those of the majority (the initial thought being, I want something different) and not as a tester of these roms, but as I came across a few (some not listed on xda-developers.com) and I realized that some of the roms that I REALLY wanted to try on my phone, fall in love with, and never switch from again, claimed no-where on their rom thread what the rom was currently missing, or what was broken (please note: I do not mean ALL roms on this site, but a few) and upon asking, I received the response (Flash, and see for yourself) which I at the time, I was not completely willing to do (as i generally have a pretty busy schedule, and cannot waste time flashing 3-4 roms a day). So i came to the thought everyone does, if you cant find someone to do it for you, do it yourself. Which lead me to do something that i do not generally want to do, but the majority of people downloading your roms are not testers, so i decided to take upon myself. Which is create these threads, and attempt in a way to make the issues seemingly understandable to people who do not even possess the proper knowledge required to understand what is wrong with the rom, even if told to them bluntly. Which i apologize to the majority, but again, is most people.
So if my reviews have AT ALL offended or been taken negatively by any rom developer, or even tester on this site. I sincerely apologize and i will begin to consider the wording in these "reviews". Because i in no way mean to offend, or be harsh, or state anything negative about your rom other than what the majority of people looking will want to see quickly. I view this as supporting your roms, as when a person who knows nothing about rom development, and has no appreciation for the rom developer (which i must sadly say is the majority of people seeking a rom) sees that your rom has ANYTHING AT ALL WRONG WITH IT (by their standards) that was not clearly stated to them, and they aren't willing to accept it, it will be much more difficult to get them to return to the rom, or their friends, or anyone they tell, or anyone who watched the youtube video they make, or anyone who reads their blog. Saddly this is how i must view the majority, and how i must explain to them what is wrong, in order to keep such a thing from happening to any of your wonderful roms that i have tried. I wish to see all of your roms become popular, be boasted about to people on the street by the majority, and see you flourish in the results of the incredible work you are doing to bring these roms to our phone, and this is a way i see to do it. I see one day walking past another on the street and hearing the name of the rom that i watched be developed on this site, And i wish to add my 2 cents in with these threads or this thread (which it is going to become)
Thank you all for viewing, and replying to my post, and i hope you all have a wonderful day.....

PLEASE make sure to thank the developer for the dedication to his ROM
Please do not clutter the Development thread with non development-related chatter
FAQ
Q Why a special Q&T Thread for a specific ROM??
A The bigger a ROM development thread gets, the greater the chance that posts are being placed in this thread that are not related to the ROM development itself, e.g. problems with flashing, installation, bugs, things not working etc. However this is understandable, it's not according to the guidelines of XDA for Development sections. Therefore the main goals of the ROM specific Q&T threads is to avoid this cluttering of the original develpment thread with these OT posts by redirecting the posters to the ROM specific Q&T thread and also to relieve the developer from answering these post, so he can dedicate his time to developing.
Q How to move my post to the Q&A/T thread?
A Copy the text of your post in the dev's thread, got to the Q&A/T thread and paste it there. After having done that, go back to the dev's thread, edit your post and change the text into: moved to Q&A/T thread, preferably accompanied with a link to this thread.
Q When I'm asked to move my post to the Q#A/T thread, do I have to do that?
A When you're asked to move your post, there will always be given an explanation by the OP of the Q&A/T, e.g. your post is not development related (f.i. SD card problems, etc), so please be so kind to move your post. If you want to help the dev to keep his original thread as clean as possible from OT posts, then the answer is, of course, YES. Although we cannot force you to move your post, it's highly recommended to do so
Q Where can I download this ROM and How do I install?
A You can find the link to download and installation instructions HERE. Pay close attention to this post, everything required for a successful flash is listed right here. If you fail to follow the instructions or meet the requirements for installation, you could run into some problems.
Q What are the known issues with these ROM's?
A See post #1 of the Developer's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375835.
Q How’s battery life?
A I see this question asked repeatedly across all ROMS. Honestly there is no way to give you an answer based on a ROM. There are too many variables in question and results vary from user to user and device to device. Battery life is going to depend on age and condition of your battery, your use habits with your device, installed apps, tweaks, settings, etc...
Q How do I...
A Ask your questions and report your issues in this thread. You will receive a response and hopefully get you back up and running this ROM to it's fullest
Explaining the purpose of our Q&A/T threads for specific ROM's to posters.
"Hi dear followers of this ROM,
in this post I will explain the goal of this specific thread created for this ROM with the permission of the Developer of this specific ROM.
This is a statement made in the Q&A/T template thread:
"While our forum has slowly been morphing, the one area we would like to keep original is Development
The goal is to alleviate the OT banter that occurs within any rom. While the XDA forum continues to grow, we need to help users work within the guidelines created by XDA. Over the last couple of years the average rom being created, has become a free for all chat thread. There tends to be much infighting and mod/developer cleaning.
The idea of this template is to create a Questions and Answers for each rom. This is in no way asking for Development to be moved here, rather any and all conversation that is non Development related to your conjoined Q&A."
This means that non-development related posts, should be posted - with the permission of the Dev - in this thread. What are the most common Off Topic posts, that should be posted in this Q&A/T thread?
1. Battery life related posts
2. Will this app work with this ROM
3. SD Card related problems
4. How do I dowmload and install this ROM, etc, etc
Hope to have given you enough information,
kindest regards, Kuzibri
Thank you very much to kuzibri to open this thread for questions and problem solving, thank you very much to all the people who work and are awaiting my posts, I hope to give all the support necessary one in this thread, as you know I'm in my third year in university and this time consuming me! I hope to help everyone! and stay tuned to my Twitter for more surprises!

NFC draining battery
Hey guys,
might be dumb, but NFC is DRAINING my battery. I go to turn it off and it won't shut off. I've tried it probably 20 or so times. It's really a killer when my phone's not doing anything. Any suggestions?
Google voice/voice search is down, but that's not a huge problem.

Did you try looking up "locale select" on the play store? That might help, but it could be the language missing from the rom.

Hmm I think Jose or CM/AOKP/PA removed the languages because there would be too much. They should at least have kept Arabic and Urdu. I don't know why they remove the major languages and leave the small ones. -_- ... lol

I have no problem in my Amaze4G, but that one if they have them and think they are the tweaks they affect, please do a clean install and configure the following tweaks to:
Vertical Sync set it to ON
Batery Saving Tweaks set it to OFF
Normalize set it to ON
Kernel Tweaks Set it to OFF
I think this is affecting both the purification and hot restarts, I will continue checking for that in the next version these tweaks do not change the system!
