« 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

Install the Gapps for AOKP

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 that step and continue

When you boot into the system for the first time you have two options:

a) Stay with the Kernel by default (CM9, works perfect) or

b) (Before of this point please make a backup!!!) Install Siyah Kernel / Thoravukk Kernel

If you decide stay with the default kernel then go to the step 18 of this guide, if don't go to the next step

If you decide flash the Siyah / Thoravukk Kernel, then reboot into recovery

Choose Install zip from SD card

Install most recent version of the kernel that you choose

Reboot

When you boot into the system, 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 or fix's (like phone fix for v1.3 or camera fix for v1.4)

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, for example, many users are reporting that the lasts versions of Siyah are not the best option to have your battery safe, others said that Thoravukk it's an awesome option. I'm always read the feedback of the users when i'm wake up i'm read all the posts of the night so the, probably best, order of the kernels to have a better battery it's:

Thoravukk version 2.23

Stock of Resurrection (CM9)

Siyah Kernel with some of the betas

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:

« ¿Why long press of home button don't show me the open taks?

This function it's deactivated by default, but it's very easy to activate, please go to:

Settings -> ROM Control -> Navigation Bar -> Long press home action and set this to 'Show Recents'

« ¿Where are the Call Recording?

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

« ¿Where are the Radio FM?

The lasts versions of Resurrection are AOKP and the Radio can't be included, the option it's test some app that give this feature but i don't know if works properly, as example you can see this post by deltasync and give it a try: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24902210&postcount=22330

« The lights of capacitive (menu and back) buttons doesn't work ¿What can i do?

This is a weird issue, for some people works well for some others don't, first of all the settings of this feature are on: Settings -> Device Settings -> Sensors -> Touch buttons, then you can try enable from there, if don't work please look the following post, it's a possible solution by SoulTerrox

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25009183&postcount=23321

Also you can try flashing Thoravukk kernel, it's reported that with this kernel the behavior of light it's the right one (just a few seconds on and then off) check this post of Vreestyle:

« 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. If you are user of Siyah Kernel then try reduce that via ExTweaks https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.darekxan.extweaks.app personally i'm not tested this yet, but some users of Resurrection are reporting that works

Please remember, ExTweaks only works with Siyah Kernel's

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

On v1.3 the best that you can do it's choose another lockscreen mode, but if you are on this trouble 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.

On v1.4 You can unlock the phone swipe to up the icon, even that you can't see an icon the phone will be unlocked.

« 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!

I hope that in the new versions of AOKP be included on ROM Control the setting for pattern, in this way you never experienced this problem again.

« ¿How can i change the bootanimation?

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=24938647&postcount=22537

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:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25087050&postcount=23865

« ¿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!

« About USB mass storage and MTP connections

On v1.3 the USB Mass Storage connection it's the one by default when you plug your phone to the PC, but maybe for some users it's better keep the MTP so you can check the next posts:

thanks to khelyaan, eldecanopy and lbsonic for the information.

On v1.4 you have to choose what method of storage wants to use, you can do this going to Settings -> Storage -> Clic on Menu Capacitive Button -> Connection -> Choose between MTP, PTP or USB Mass Storage

« ¿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 built-in one). Just open the file manager, select the "mnt" button, the one between the Home icon and SD icon. Inside you'll find emmc.

« ¿Ok, but then how set my external SD like "external_sd" instead of "emmc"?

Please check this post courtesy of lbsonic:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24983708&postcount=23071

If you have troubles with the featured method, at reboot the problem persists and you can't see anything on external_sd, please check this post by ggs2:

Exclusive issues of v1.4

« Camera doesn't record video on 720p or 1080p ¿What can i do?

This issue appears when you do a full wipe to install v1.4 if you do only the non-wipe installation you don't have this problem.

For solve it just flash the Camera FIX provided by westcrip, on the Mirror Index v1.4 are the links to the download:

« I'm finish of install the ROM and i don't have my APN data ¿What can i do?

First of all please, before of flash any ROM make a backup of your APN settings, there are some apps like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arayray.apnutility on Play Store

Now, this is a weird issue, personally i'm not experimented any problem, when flash v1.4 i follow the extended steps for installation and since the first boot i have my data totally functional, i've checked the APN settings and everything it's ok, however a few users are reporting this issue so, here are the options:

If you are yet on v1.4 try flashing some other version of Resurrection, i think that v1.1 will be ok (the mirror index for this version are here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24504155&postcount=18361) then make your tests and, if everything goes well, back to v1.4 but this time be sure of follow the 'Extended steps for installation'

When we know more information about this issue will be posted here

« I can't send SMS ¿How solve that?

Exclusive issues of v1.3

« My GPS doesn't works well ¿What can i do?

Another weird issue, personally i don't have problem and the users that reported this issue are few so i don't think that this is an issue with the ROM, there are several options to solve this:

You could try the app GPS Status from the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2 according to this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24288189&postcount=2 and some comments on Play Store, help to solve the issues with the GPS

Also you can take a look on this helpful post of Urbanrootz http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24778022&postcount=21272

Or try this solution tested by Pigmachine: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24774302&postcount=21211

« I'm not have data (3g, H, H+) ¿What can i do?

This isn't an issue with the ROM because it's not presented for all users, for example since 1.2 i'm never had any problem with the data, just reboot the phone after flashing, configuring everything and you won't have this problem anymore.

However, some users have come up with a solution by manually inputting the APN configuration or creating a new one. This usually takes care of the problem.

Also, i don't know if you provider it's a little influence for have this problems, i like have the feedback of the users in this point, personally my provider it's the most bigger here in Mexico, how about yours?

« When trying to change the lockscreen settings in ROM configuration, 'ROM Control' crashes ¿What can I do?

This is another weird issue, v1.3 fix that issue but some users still are reporting the problem, personally i made a test, i flash the ROM again following the 'Extended steps for installation' then test the settings of lockscreen and everything works well. The possible reasons for not work are:

Wrong installation (you not follow all the steps or you install some corrupted files)

daniel_24 give us a possible solution, the main language of his phone it's German so, he change the languague to English (US) and the problem it's solved

Try and tell us!

« I'm follow the instructions but still have the issue with the screen call (cut icon for accept, reject)

Please flash the Phone Fix provided by westcrip, the downloads are on the Mirror Index v1.3: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24746407&postcount=20625
