« Extended steps to install the ROM

The steps on the OP are very clear but apparently some users miss some things or can't get a properly installation so, here are the extended steps (personally i'm always use this method):

Reboot into recovery

Wipe Data / Factory Reset

Wipe Cache Partition

Install the Main ROM

In recovery go to Advanced

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Fix Permissions

Wipe Cache Partition

Reboot

If at the first boot you can't do the configuration of the google account, skip this step and continue

When you boot into the system, it's probably that you don't have data enabled (3g, H+) just reboot

When you boot again into the system the data will be enable and you can do the configuration of Google Account (if you don't do this before)

This is the moment for install all the extras like themes, fix's, kernels, etc.

Enjoy!!!

« I'm have a several battery draining ¿Why?

The user dave7802 give us a very good explanation in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24725659&postcount=20229

Of course that it's not everything, the kernel has a lot to do in this issue, after read the feedback of the users i think that the top for better battery is:

Stock of Resurrection (CM9)

Siyah Kernel

Thoravukk Kernel

But remember this is very subjective, all depends of your customization, if you want more info. about Governors, Kernels, Voltages, etc. please read this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1369817

and if you want one example of a nice configuration on Siyah (for the version v3.2b8) check here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25759129#post25759129

« ¿Where are the Call Recording?

Unfortunately Call Recording it's imposible to port to AOKP...for the moment ;)

« ¿Where are the Radio FM?

Since the v1.2 Resurrection Remix ROM is partially based on AOKP and the Radio can't be included, the most used option it's Spirit FM app, you can download here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mikersmicros.fm_li or visit the original post of his creator http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059296

« The lights of capacitive buttons [Menu and Back] doesn't work properly ¿What can i do?

It's a known issue that the buttons, with the stock kernel (CM9), doesn't have the habitual behavior, just are on until you lock the phone, if you want the old behavior i means that turn of after 2 or 3 seconds you need flash another kernel like Thoravukk or Siyah (with this one you can adjust the behavior via ExTweaks app)

« The vibration intensity for pulsations it's to hard ¿How can reduce that?

By default it's not possible, but you can deactivate the vibration on Settings -> Sound.

Also, if you are user of Siyah Kernel then you could reduce that via ExTweaks app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.darekxan.extweaks.app

Please remember, ExTweaks only works with Siyah Kernel

« I'm set the 'Honeycomb' style lockscreen and now i can't unlock the phone ¿What can i do?

The best that you can do it's choose another lockscreen mode, but if you are stuck yet, you can unlock the phone swipe to up the icon, even that you can't see an icon the phone will be unlocked if something happen and this not helps you then just send an email to you or call from another phone, anything that sends you a notification will unlock the phone so you could go to settings and make the change.

« If i set the lockscreen pattern as method of unlock my lockscreen wallpaper dissapear ¿What can i do?

First of all, not dissapear just show the same wall that in homescreen, but the point is, ¿why i can't have a personalized wallpaper and the pattern working?

That's because you set the lockscreen wallpaper with ROM Control settings and the pattern with the 'normal' settings, this ones 'substitute' the settings of ROM control and as we can't set lockscreen wallpaper from 'normal' settings it's not possible have the combo!

On the changelog of AOKP B33 says that this feature it's fully working, unfortunately wes experimented some troubles to making work, we hope soon the update to have the full functionality in this setting ;)

« ¿How can i change the bootanimation?

For the bootanimations featured on the Mirrors Index i make flashable files through recovery too, so this is one option ;)

The othe one. First of all i know that are many apps on Play Store that let us make this change but, in the same way that with DPI i like the manual mode, i prefer make the changes myself whenever i can, so here are the steps:

Make a backup of the original Bootanimation file it's on the path /system/media and it's call bootanimation.zip

Download the animation that you want, on the mirrors index are many of them: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25666954&postcount=28585

Rename the file that you download to bootanimation.zip (in case that the name was different)

Copy the bootanimation.zip to your SD card

Copy the file to the path /system/media, this process need to be made with some file explorer that let you change the permissions from 'Read Only' to 'Read and Write' (i'm always working with Root Explorer)

Replace the original bootanimation.zip with the one that you download

Reboot and it's done

If you want a bootanimation that includes sound, be enough that you put the .wav file on the path /system/etc but if don't work then take a look on this post courtesy of tim132:

« ¿How can i change the font of the ROM?

Unfortunately there no are a default setting to make this change, but you can do it with the combo of ROM Toolbox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox and Font Installer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer

thanks to PatrickWu for the tip!

« ¿Where are the files of my External SD?

This time the manage the external sd it's different way, now the external SD it's called /emmc, there are your files. You can access to this folder with any file explorer (even the stock one). Just open the file manager, select the "mnt" button, the one between the Home icon and SD icon. Inside you'll find emmc.

« I want save my pictures of the stock camera on the External SD ¿How can i set that?

Just create the "Camera" folder inside emmc/DCIM, thanks to MyLifeRocks10 for the tip

« On the PC my screenshots show 0 bytes ¿How can i solve that?

Weird issue but, apparently, with the default connection (MTP) you can't see the files of /sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots correctly, just change to USB Mass Storage the connection and you can see it, another option it's use the app AirDroid to see that files

« I can't purchase apps on the Play Store ¿How can i solve that?

Please check this post by heldmar there are the instructions and file needed:

« I'm experience a weird behavior of the 3g and Wi-Fi ¿What can i do?

In general the ROM doesn't give you troubles with this, but a few users report that so:

First of all try this courtesy of danny19901 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25903290&postcount=30477 if dont helps you or your issues are only with 3g connection then, maybe you want try flashing another modem, you could find some of them here: http://www.veyka.co.uk/radios/ just flash it through recovery and remember give it at least two days of test!!!

« I have problems with the MMS ¿What can i do?

Follow this useful post courtesy of deltasync: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25857682&postcount=30243

« ¿How can i add more recipients in a SMS/MMS?

You note that after of select the first recipient, the app "jumps" to the text of message, well just back to the field of recipient and after the comma write the other recipient and it's done. The groups are not possible on the stock app, also you can check this post by BobPowers who mention another possible solutions http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25967487&postcount=30820
