will try. But I dont think it will work for dual sim users as the primary messaging app is the Google's latest messenger app.
My primary concern is to make the ROM bootable to homescreen. It does boot up, but then comes the problem, I have replaced the Samsung Setup Guide with Google's. But GPServices force closes and hence unable to complete the setup, I gonna try and fix it.

---

New bug
I did fix that gpservices fc bug, and ROM does boot to homescreen.
But then, Phone/Contacts FC, also settings fc when display setting is open.
Also i attach a screenshot that i took during setup (when i test the next build i post a prominent one :laugh:)

Dim white screen
Hi,
I flashed your rom and I also got dim white screen (after waiting for it to boot for 20mins after flashing). Prior to flashing the rom, I wiped data/factory reset twice and wiped cache/partition thrice. I'm currently using cwm 6.0.3.7.
Regards,
Snipy

@drewbar
it seems you are flashing rom for the first time
since this rom is jellykat based you need to flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709913
and then install the rom
and @AvinabaDalal mention this information in your post :silly:

---

Finally A Download Link
Thanks for the download link. Will give a try right now... then give you some feedback on it.

---

Ok. But for me, when I was testing this ROM, I just directly flashed ROM, and I did not face any issues. I was running old stock firmware btw. If this problem a serious problem for many, I will have to fix it.

---

Dim black screen
@psyduck I tried to use the kernel you referred but I got stock in the Samsung Galaxy Star Duos boot page. I tried to use the flashable kernel by t3snake and I successfully flashed it. Anyways, thank you for your help :good:
