« Extended steps to install the ROM

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

Before of start please remember: If you have / wanna do a Titanium Backup the only safe things to restore when you flash a new version or a ROM are the non-system stuff and of course your apps, the non-system stuff are write in Green text, but just restore the data not the app (Examples: SMS - APN - Bookmarks - Alarms) about your apps, write on White you need restore the app+data. Please never restore the system stuff, write in Red text, this can cause FC's and other bad behavior. After make your restore please reboot!

Another recordatory: It's recommended that before of flash any ROM, you made a backup of your EFS folder, this folder contains information about the IMEI, MAC, and other sensitive stuff of your phone, the suggestion it's use EFSPro app from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1308546 or you can use KTool from the Play Store, it's not enough with a copy/paste from your original folder Information provided by raja.7k and Pigmachine

Reboot into recovery

Wipe Data / Factory Reset

Install the Main ROM

In AROMA installer select "Custom Installation"

Choose depending of your taste

When AROMA installer finish untick the "Reboot Now" option

When you're back on recovery go to Advanced

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Fix Permissions

Wipe Cache Partition

Reboot

When you get the step for add your Google Account, if you don't have a WiFi enabled skip it

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 with a WiFi)

This is the moment for install all the extras like themes, mods, 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 have a lot of "guilty" in this issue, after read the feedback of the users i think that the top for better battery is:

CM9 Kernel

DarkKnight Kernel

Fluxi Kernel

Siyah Kernel

But remember this is very subjective, all depends of the customization that you made over the kernel.

If you want more information about Governors, Kernels, Voltages, etc. please read this post

If you want some suggestions of configuration for Siyah Kernel take a look here

And if you want examples of configurations for various kernels go here

« ¿Where are the Call Recording?

Unfortunately Call Recording, until now, can't be ported to AOKP, but are alternatives, you can use the app 'Personal Call and Voice Recorder' from the Play Store thanks to quijote1 for the suggestion.

« ¿Where are the Radio FM?

Resurrection Remix since his v1.2 is based on AOKP and the radio can't be included, the most used option it's Spirit FM app, you can download from the Play Store or visit the original post of his creator here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059296

« ¿Where are the files of my External SD?

This time the manage the external sd it's different, now the external SD it's mounted on /emmcso, 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" option on the top, the one between the Home icon and SD icon, inside you can find the emmc folder.

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

You can use this app made by gundalbert: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27878618&postcount=3923 [App updated at 26/06]

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

You can adjust the behavior via any kernel compatible with "BLN" and the correspondant tweake like, Siyah Kernel + ExTweaks app or Fluxxi + xxTweaker.

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

By default it's not possible, but if you are user of Siyah Kernel then you could reduce that via ExTweaks and if you are using Fluxxi Kernel you can tweak this via xxTweaker too.

Please remember, ExTweaks only works with Siyah Kernel and Dorimanx Kernel

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

Actually you can unlock the phone swipe to up the icon, even if you can't see some icon the phone will be unlocked. If something happens and this not helps you then, just send an email to you or call from another phone, anything that sends you a notification will give you the chance of unlock the phone so, you could go to the lockscreen settings and change the style.

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

Well, not dissapear...just show the same wallpaper that in the homescreen, but the point is, ¿i can't have a personalized wallpaper and the pattern working? Apparently no, 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, since we can't set lockscreen wallpaper from 'normal' settings ¡it's not possible have the combo!

On the B33 of AOKPthis feature it's fully working, unfortunately westcrip experiment some troubles to making work, we hope soon the update to have the full functionality in this setting.

« My signal it's not the best so, i wanna change of Modem ¿Where i can find a good one?

You have several options here: http://www.veyka.co.uk/radios/ here http://obihoernchen.net/downloads/?dir=SGS2 Modems or here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1131950

Just remember give at least 2 days of settle down to the new modem then you can judge his performance.

« ¿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 prefer make the changes manually always that it's possible so, here are the steps:

Make a backup of the original Bootanimation file located on the path /system/media and called bootanimation.zip

Download the animation that you want, on the Mirrors Index we can have some made by the users of RR

Rename the file that you download to bootanimation.zip (in case that the name be 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', personally i'm always working with Root Explorer (paid) but if you want, you can use ES File Explorer (free)

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

Reboot and enjoy

Also, in some of the bootanimations featured on the Mirrors Index i make flashable files through recovery so, this is another option to avoid the manual steps.

« ¿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 and Font Installer

If that apps don't work for you, then try the following steps:

« ¿How can i use the Theme Chooser?

Just go to this thread, there you can find the links to some themes that exists for this feature, all with his own instructions, just follow it.

« Extended explanation of the permissions (to move .apk's manually on /system/app for example)

« A little help with the images of your .mp3

« I'm using Siyah kernel and i don't want to see the boot splash ¿How can i deactivate it? [Only if you are not dual booting]

Just create a file named .nobootlogo in the 'root' of your SD Card with some file explorer like 'ES file explorer' or 'Root Explorer' Thanks to Pigmachine for the tip.

« ¿How can i get a notification count on my dock icons?

AOKP don't support this kind of notifications, but you have some alternatives:

1.- If you are using Go Launcher you can install their app Go Launcher EX Notification fromt the Play Store

2.- I know that it's not the same but you can activate the notification count on the status bar from Settings - R-ROM Control - Statusbar - General - Show Notification Count

Thanks to KeithOYS for the tip.

« I wish to install some stock Samsung apps ¿How can i do it?

Take a look on the TWICS-Addon thread

Thanks to KeithOYS for the tip.
