will see to use kexec patch on kernel for next update...to make it multi rom compatible, hope u will like it.

---

Cool to have new ROMs popping up now! Thanks, mate!
Are you able to tell if this one is compatible with the dual SIM version? I know it's probably a no, but worth the check.
Best regards.
Saw that it's pulled from CM12. So, now its definitely a no.

---

I didnt, but I am downloading it now to give it a try.
The model is D6633. I'm not sure why the developres havent figured out yet what goes on with the RIL on the Dual SIM. Since I'm not a developer, can hardly help in this

---

So can we extract the boot.img from this and use it on stock CM? What are the known bugs? What recovery do we need for this?

bro edit your previous post with screenshots and delete them.
My tester has the same as you the D6603 and not having any issue with calling nor texting. try import your contacts from contact app, not from call app.

As I'm not really too familiar with the CM bugs and I suck at searching for those (all the githubs, repos and such are like black magic to me ), is this ROM only missing double tap to wake and loudspeaker?
