F.A.Q
Q: Links are dead. what now?
A:Had to format my hdd and forgot to backup. ask for someone to share.
Q: Whos this rom build for?
A: This rom is for those who want to keep all samsung functions and still be able to use mods, tweaks, and themes out of the box.
Q:What is the "R" Version aka "The ICS Killer"?
A: "R" stands for reduced as its a slimmed version build from standard version
Q:Does "R" version has more functions/Apps than the standard version ?
A:The only difference apart of the removed apps its the TW launcher. R version uses tw4.5 instead of tw4 used in standard version
Q:Can I use TW4.5 in the standard builds?
A: Yes you can, theres a patch in first post. altough you'll lose samsung widgets support.
Q: Why is the tegrak kernel included in last build(s) ?
A: Cause its the only one who provides mods and overclock without breaking any vital functions
Q: I have lost recovery and CWM app. WTF ?!?!
A: this is due to tegrak kernel used not supporting it. so either use this kernel or install one you prefer(all work fine)
Q: I cant connect my Bluetooth mouse or keyboard. what should I do?
A: use default tegrak or Cf kernel. all others(until date) break that function
Q: how should I install this rom ?
A: just put the zip file in your sd card and install from recovery
Q: I have Fc's , lockups, freezes. what should I do?
A: Rom as been tested before release. so just wipe and reinstall and you should be fine
Q: sometimes I end up with my screen upside down. WTF?
A: its a known bug when using crt on effect. disable it in jkay app. crt off works fine
Q: I lost my CWM recovery flashing this rom. how can I install updates ?
A: See tegrak tutorial on how to use tegrak recovery here. if your not confortable with that. install any other kernel from odin and youll have your recovery back
Q: I still dont get it about this tegrak recovery. what now?
A: Install CF kernel from odin. bam! there you go your precious recovery is back
Q: as this rom RTL support?
A: not by default but you can patch it with this zip file and it should work
Q: Installed the RTL patch but my samsung keyboard is no good. what now?
A: Install this patch themed keyboard, courtesy of vertumus
Q:I have no root or superuser app. is it normal?
A: if you're using one of the builds with tegrak it is. just install tegrak kernel app from market and enable it from there
Q: how do I overclock with this tegrak kernel?
A: install tegrak overclock tool from market. ultimate version is advised for full control of cpu and gpu overclock. nice guide here
Q: I want to change the default csc configuration. how can I do that?
A: do it manually if you know how or install nitrality from market. its free and works wonders
Q:Why have you removed call rec support?

A:You can find the list here for V45R2 and here for V46R3
Q:I'm not happy with the apks you chosed to remove, can you add a couple of them back?

A:Its a privacy protecting mod. install pdroid app from market to configure it.
Q:Does this rom support multi DPI ?
A:Kind of. to full DPI support install laucher pro and ex dialer + ics theme from market. all the rest should work with different dpi settings. (tested 182 & 190)
Q: have no ICS themed camera. what now?
A: themed camera has only been included in vertumus version 1.9. install this zip from recovery.
Q: heard about v3rtr3ma exclusive bootanimations. where can I get them?
A: Install this zip for bootanim1, or this for bootanim2
!!!WARNING!!! Dont flash default builds on top of R builds. you'll end up with a ton of laucher FC's

Just flashed this. Working just fine. But why did you remove "rawr" ?

rawr is a void kernel feature.
since I moved to siyah in this version rawr is not availlable.
void development is stopped and siyah is working really smooth
if i find siyah to become unstable I'll revert to siyah on the next build
you can always flash void over this. but you'll lose a lot of governors, boot animation, and CWM app
have you tried new neak kernell. seems a decent alternative. I will test that and see if it doesnt break bt mouse support

Well I've used Siyah previously before flashing your rom, and I was pretty happy with it, so I'll probably stick with it. Neak does sound intersesting though.
Would it be difficult for me to impletement rawr to Siyah? Just add a script somewhere or something?

Ok, one more question: Would it be possible for you to implement the awesome KitchenPro app from this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312240
Or is the app somehow restricted to that rom only?
