Jelly Bean Fixes

If you have followed the above instructions properly chances are you wont have any issues.  However there are a minority of users that have reported some of the issues below. Most of the errors are cause from the GSM settings being ported over to the Verizon (Toro) ROM. If you have any of these problems just follow the fix instructions

Save and place the file on your sdcard.  Use root explorer (or any file manager that allows R/W permissions) to copy the file from your sdcard to the /data folder.  Make you sure you have R/W permission when pasting to the /data folder.

Google Wallet Error Unsupported Device
This really is not a Jelly Bean issue, but I have seen it mentioned several times in the Jelly Bean threads.  In fact it is not much of an issue at all.  You can still use Wallet. The message is displayed when you use Google Wallet on a rooted device.  When you root your device Google cannot guarantee security in Wallet.  Again the Wallet app still works just fine.

Help! I don't like the 
Mod/Theme I flashed!

Not to worry.  If you flash a mod or theme that you dont like or isn't working properly it is very easy to go back.  To undo the mod/theme do the following:
  1. Boot into recovery
  2. Wipe cache partition
  3. Advanced > wipe dalvik cache
  4. Flash your current ROM zip file
  5. If using a custom kernel flash now
  6. Reboot
