As I continue to be blessed in the work of compiling roms and kernels, I have had to take a few new steps for me. One of those steps was Github. I am not very Github savvy, and I really struggled with how to push/pull/commit, etc. In fact …

For those of you who have downloaded the AOKP MM that God graciously allowed me to build, there was a problem with video recordings. It was recently brought to my attention on XDA that my build would take great camera stills, but if you tried to record video, it actually …
