Root Jelly Bean rom with anthrax support

I have used harmonia for a long time now but want to upgrade from ics to jelly bean. I have tried many of the jelly bean roms talked about around here, but none of the ones that I have tried has support for anthrax kernel. I want to use anthrax because it gives me swipe to wake, usb otg, great battery life as well as overclocking, and usb to hdmi capabilities with an mhl adapter. I have tried flashing anthrax over lots of different roms but just cannot boot into them after installing anthrax.

Does anyone know of a jb rom that has all of these features? Anthrax would be nice to have but as long as these features are included I would be happy.

Kernels are specific to the ROM. Sometimes a kernel can work with a different ROM, e.g. stock-based custom ROMs usually can work with the same kernel since they are all based on the same binaries from the stock ROM. But AOSP/JB roms are different. Since they are built from the source code, the changes/modifications are done at the lowest level and kernels are usually highly specific to each JB ROM. Plus, good battery life is not only dependent on the kernel, it is the combined outcome of kernel and ROM. So using the same kernel with every ROM (not possible but anyway) will not give the same battery life.
 
The reason why anthrax & butteredtoast will not flash on a JB rom is because of Aroma. Work Around: Download a non Aroma Installed kernel then replace the zImage with the one you want to use; Flash from recovery(No need to Wipe) & you should be all set.
 
Ok, so other than kernel stuff, is there a jb rom that has mhl and usb otg? If not, how could i make these features work with a jb rom?
