Hi people,
I hope this can help those who ask some common questions in all threads or just don't read the OP or the OP hasn't Q&A, so let's start.
Q: How to install/update Cyanogenmod roms?
A: Follow this tutorial.
Q: Where can I find Gapps?
A: Here, here, here or here. For light gapps go here.
Q: How to enable the developer options?
A: Settings>About phone> click 7 times on build number.
Q: How to enable advanced reboot?
A: Go to: System settings->Developer options->Advanced reboot.
Q: Advanced reboot doesn't work for me. Any solution?
A: Yes, take a look here (3 Button Combo).
Q: Where can I find the latest baseband for I8190, I8190N or I8190L?
A: Here.
Q: After installing CM rom I have no signal. Any solution?
A: Here (Pit file & Modem folder).
Q: What is the Panda application (CM10.2)?
A: It's for saving battery, it disable one core & sets the governor to ondemand.
Q: I have the "1Ghz bug", how to fix it?
A: Reboot the device with wifi off. If for some reason still doesn't work change the governor & the scheduler to Pegasusq + Sio or Deadline. You can also try this app, it will solve your problem permanently, for sure.
Q: How to enable softkeys haptic feedback?
A: Softkeys haptic feedback is disabled by default. You need to follow this tutorial to enable it.
Q: How to enable automatic brightness?
A: Download this app.
Q: After install CM11 my clock froze! Any solution?
A: Uninstall Lockclock.apk from system apps or try that:
- Keep the phone plugged on charger/pc
- Keep mobile data (3G/2G) on
- Keep wifi on
Q: How to disable the buttons backlight?
A: Go to system settings-buttons-backlight & uncheck "Illuminate buttons".
If don't work for you, download BLN control from Google Play Store, here.
Q: I installed CM10.1/CM10.2/CM11 rom but I can't find radio fm app. Any solution?
A: Yes. Download Spirit FM Free from here.
Do that only if it doesn't work with the default settings:
1 - If you are in Europe: Settings->Band->World... (Anyone).
2 - Settings->Audio->Method->Galaxy S3/Note/S2_ICS.
Q: How to enable the pie controls & navigation buttons?
A: First you need a file explorer, then add this line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to /system/build.prop & reboot the phone to activate the on screen buttons (Navigation Bar). Then go to Settings>System>Power menu>Expanded desktop & activate it & then you will see pie control in the Settings>System menu.
Q: I want to try other kernel, but I can't because of F2FS. What can I do?
A: Take a look here & here.
Q: How to keep Xposed Framework installed after update the rom?
A: Read this.
Q: Where can I find amazing themes for TWRP recovery?
A: Here, here & here.
Q: How can I help the development of any ROM?
A: Not with, "+1", "FC", "me too", "same bug here", blablabla. These comments are USELESS.
Q: So, how can I really help?
A: Simple. Remember doing this you're helping the developer & yourself, you're intelligent, so you understand what I'm saying, right!?!
Do that in the right ROM thread:
Phone model:
Baseband version:
ROM version:
Did you?
wipe:
restore with titanium backup:
reboot after having the issue:
Are you using?
a task killer:
the kernel (boot.img) in the zip or other:
Settings/Performance settings (other than default):
What steps will reproduce the problem?
But the most important thing is this: attach a LOGCAT of the problem.
Q: Ok nice, but I’m noob & I don’t know how to LOGCAT, where can I learn?
A: Here, here or stop being lazy & search in XDA forums.
Battery Saving Tips: Here or you can take a look here & put an end to the problems with the battery

First of all, thank you for reading. Regarding your question, it only works on cm roms.
Anytime! Imho, you've provided useful info which is worth to know if you're an owner of a custom I8190.
I've totally failed the topic at the 1st place here, but I've checked out this hidden menu after I've flashed Maclaw's CM 10.2 and it's really a must have option. Now I remember it again!
..but what I didn't knew was that in here, in dev options existed that function which I was always seeking for; the advanced reboot, which lets you decide what to boot. For example, the recovery.
This is a really nice thing to use on CM. It can save you a bit of time and your 3 button combo fingerprints
I would add this 'advanced reboot/boot to recovery' thingy to the FAQ. I find it interesting and useful :silly:
Thanks.

I've just built AOSP from master branch.
The most interesting thing is the optimized ART runtime. It's enabled by default and works with much more apps now.
I didn't try it on N4 yet, but on a similar device which basically is hardware compatible.

it's from master branch.
basically it's a mix between 4.4.3 and 4.5.
Google pushes core changes to master branch and hobby devs can use gerrit to merge changes into that branch.
The new features and UI changes are still closed source until google releases a new android update.

mainly ART, because it should work with much more(maybe all) apps now.
And many small optimizations.

Installed and working ok
Installed on my Nexus 4 and everything works ok. Installed Banks' latest Gapps too. TWRP still working.
One weird thing is there's a red square flashing around the edge on some screens.
Have to go out so didnt have time to mess around any more.

I'm running the cm12 nightly from the 03/03/2015, all the features are working, but if i update the rom, i miss the double tap 2 wake ...? i tried a full wipe and flashing the latest nightly, it doesn't change anything, so i reverted back to the 03 of march release, any suggestion ? is it the same for you guys ?

Download "Kernel Adiutor" from Play Store, go to the "Wake Controls" section and enable Double Tap to Wake....

Errrr...
Double tap to wake/D2W is a feature built into the KERNEL.
The app doesn't provide the "double tap to wake/D2W" functionality, all it does is set a "flag" to enable the feature which is already "built in" to the kernel. This is EXACTLY what enabling "Double Tap to Wake" in CM12 Settings menu does!
There are many apps that allow you to enable, change or disable Kernel config, IMHO this is the best....

thats from my post, and i can help you. you need a kernel control app first, free or paid. and you need to flash a custom kernel. i recommend elementalx or despair kernel.

na.. just pick whichever rom, download it, find a latest "gapps"(google apps pack) and download it, and download the latest supersu(latest). then go into recovery, wipe data and system, then flash the rom, then the gapps, then the supersu file.. then just reboot.

Hey. I see. thanks for helping me. So, I set up ElementalX kernel manager today. But it has limited my CPU max frequency to 1728 and when I try to change it. It says you should let them decide max frequency. Should I change it to max or leave it as it is? Thanks

1728? that doesnt seem right, at all. stock us 2649, so elementalx wouldnt be 1728 by default. seems as something else changed it to 1728. but yea, change it to whatever you feel comfortable with.

Guess all I needed was a reboot and it's normal now. Btw I'm experiencing very slow charging speed after custom kernel. I don't have a turbo charger so I use normal 2A charger and before it used to charge from 20 to 90% in like an hour and now I charged it for 3 hours and it was at 67%. I tried powering off and then charging too still same. Fon is snappier than ever. Even in power save mode it's very snappy. And battery life is good. Though a little higher standby consumption but screening time is way better getting more than 5 hours compared to barely reaching 4 before. I'm pretty happy with everything so far except the slow charging speed. Is there any way to fix it?

You can try flashing this module via magisk manager. It'll depend on what you have already flashed. If you have a module installed that already modified the SystemUIGoogle.apk, this won't work.
