==================================================
Installation:
To install Semi - reboot into CWM recovery and install the .zip file that you downloaded from the links above.
Note that you must already have a CWM kernel installed.
BEWARE: Do NOT use any factory kernel, or any kernel if you are uncertain if it has been checked for eMMC brick code.
In the event that you do not already have a CWM kernel installed, please read this a few times and make sure you understand the information it contains before proceedinghttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288112.
==================================================
Here is a link to my Github with kernel source. .
Please note that , unless it is in my Github, any other kernel that I release here is a simple port of the original creators work (Gokhanmoral or Entropy512). The ONLY changes I have made from their sources are the following changes made to /arch/arm/configs/(def_config_file);
Code:
[SIZE="6"]LOCALE==NAATT
SND_SOC_MC1N2_MIC_SWAP=N[/SIZE] (or Y for MicSwap kernels).
Any kernel I release will be completely safe from the "Brick Bug".
==================================================
Thanks to:
RockRatt
yoderk
Entropy512
Gokhanmoral
Everyone who gave support, suggestions and constructive criticism.
==================================================
If you have ANY problems, do a full wipe...

No. This is the only place where I will be posting this.
There may be a different version there, I really don't know.

I would like to see the results of this and hear how it works out. I was about to start running CM9 but have not decided yet.

---

So did they "fix" the expanded homescreen wallpaper thing? Or is it still limited to the size of one portrait screen?

---

Running very well.

What's the best way to flash this without flashing the kernel? I already have LD3 installed and running the most recent Siyah which is likely compatible anyways.

Thanks AJ!

Flash the rom then re-flash Siyah kernel immediately after.

Cool. I guess it could go without saying but I'll ask anyways. Does flashing this mandate a wipe or is it a no-wipe style CWM package?

Like I said it goes without saying and I agree. I did go ahead and finally just look at the update script in the package and it looks like it recursive deletes the system folder anyways.

not just system, you should wipe data too

Yea. That's the plan. I'll save it for when I have more time later on. I'm kinda curious if they fixed the gallery app to allow scrolling wallpaper and not just the fixed variety.
