Just installed this ROM and so far man I love the so many ways it can be modified can't wait to have a full day test drive :)
 
which gapps should we use? slim gapps or just the old 4.2.2 20130301 ?

Whichever you prefer. Slim gapps are more for those who just want a clean slate to begin with at boot up. But if you ask me. You end up installing thru the market almost every other app that wasn't included to begin with like maps and Google now. Just an example.
 
since this rom is based on 4.2 just use gapps thats made for that. for example im using inverted gapps from baked bean guys since b-boy does most of the inverting.

so now on when ever ya see a rom and dont know which gapps is needed all ya do is see what build of android is it running on. from there ya can search for gapps on google and find so many results. if its running 4.1 jellybeans the ya look for gapps for 4.1 if its on 4.2 then ya look for gapps for 4.2
 
Hey guys, I was wondering if you can improve the battery life? I love this ROM, but it'll die in less then 2 hours on stand by once I unplug it and bout 30 minutes if I use it. Idk if anyone has this problem, but I do. Thanks for this amazing ROM :)

The longest I have gone on stand by mode with this ROM is 11 hours and then 9 hours of use its been good to me so far best battery life

Could he have that play store bug?

Go into the battery in settings and post screenshots please. We can help more if we have more info
 
I want to try this rom but I'm coming from a 4.1.2 Touch Wiz rom and when I install a new aosp rom to try it out all my photo album disappear, is there anyway I can get those folders back?

Cool, so if install a 4.2.2 room all the stuff from my previous run would be there far as pictures go.

Yea, data wise it will. You will be required to manually push the DCIM folder from data/media to /Storage in order for you to access it thru gallery. Simple hassle but totally worth it;)
