You should actually READ the instructions before flashing anything or applying any mods to your Phone, if more People did xda wouldn't be filled with pointless posts like this reporting things have absolutely nothing to do with the ROM/kernel/mod or whatever.

Trouble with that is, the original post makes no mention of a new kernel. And there's nothing on the FXP Google site, either about a new kernel for 201.
I would've thought a problem with wifi would definitely be a problem with the ROM/kernel/mod. Trouble with this site is there are far too many posts knocking people down - and with a thread that's only 7 posts long prior to this, a little patience and a point in the right direction to the kernel sources - as you appear to know everything there is to know - wouldn't have gone amiss.

What's in the instructions for flashing....
FXP said:
HOWTO
Install instructions:
1. Install a Recovery (there are some around this forum)
2. Flash Rom
3. Flash gapps
4. Wipe (only required 1st time)
5. Flash kernel (fastboot flash boot boot.img)

I've replied to a post in the exact same manner I would of with someone who had made 50,000 posts, should you read the instructions before flashing anything, YES as I've stated, and if you or anyone else doesn't like my opinion in response to a user who's started a thread to report an issue then gone on to state they haven't followed all the instructions, tough, you either understand my methods or you don't.
The kernel is in the zip they downloaded which they should already know as they've been running 151.

thanks for your help, because i have been upgrading from 147 to 151 without flashing the boot.img in the zip file, so i would assume that i dont have to flash it, because the wifi was working all along when i upgraded to the different versions
now that i have flashed the new kernal, it works all fine now!! thanks for everyone who has helped though!

ALWAYS update the kernel, then if you do run in to issues like this you know it's something else.

[SOLVED]compiled aosp(lte) with major problem

I compiled aosp from source and flashed the rom on my phone through rom manager. I used the binary files from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421188 and used the tweak to stop the recovery image from compiling. After flashing and upon booting I get this weird band going horizontal with the screen. I've attached a screen shot and was wondering if someone knew what I di or didn't do to cause this issue.
edit: I finally ran the exact script and pulled my prop files from an aosp rom 4.03 rom on my phone. If you're following the guide on cdma be prepared to extract the files you need or pull them from a git repose of a rom that's working on your phone. I tried the binaries posted in the cdma development section but they didn't work for me. Just some food for thought.
did you accept the agreement using the path for the source or what you did?

I think in this case it might be worth posting in that thread, or at least link this thread in there as more people will then see the issue you've got

4.3 ROMs?

What ROMs are okay to flash if you have the Knox bootloader. Im so confused about this Knox thing. Ive read if it doesnt change your bootloader you will be fine and others saying i have to wait for a stok mk3 .tar (i do believe thats the right one) file to be available. one dev posted a rooted 4.3 rom and he said this wont mess with the bootloader. im just nervous dont want to brick my phone. someone please help and shed some light on this confusing situation
This should be Q and A section, and Cnexus posted a FAQ about this in general section....

sorry about that
and i think i read what he posted but im still confused its such vague answers. idk why people cant just say yes or no. instead of elongating there answers. I just want to know if there are ROMs that i can flash while on the obKNOXious bootloader

I'm running the cm11/kitkat experimental build and I have the new knox bootloader, the rom requires some tweaking, I will post it soon if the original dev doesnt incorporate my fixes.

If you want a simple answer, then here it is: you can flash any rom you want.
Only one catch: do not EVER Odin a full stock tar with version < MK3 to your device or you will instantly brick.

Thank you. First answer I've been able to understand. Just stay away from Odin and .tar files. About to flash your ROM so I can have root and from what I've been reading pretty good battery life as well. Thanks for your work man.

I've been running it with ART and I haven't had it reboot on me yet. I think once I was doing something with the camera gallery and the camera 'broke" and required a restart but I can't remember if that was when I was playing with cm10.2 or cm11.

well if this is the case than how did you get CM11 working? did you just download and flash from the OP if so can you share the link with me. And what is ART?

The original ROM checks for "know" baseband versions to make sure you dont try flashing the ROM on the wrong device. I had to unpack the ROM, add support for the new baseband and then repack the ROM inorder to get it to install. I also change he kernel cmdline to set SELinux to permissive mode by default (like it was in 4.3). I will post the tweaked ROM shortly.

The best way to learn something is to read ROM's first posts
First posts of many roms don't give much information actually... You'll probably have to read many ''first posts'' to get a proper understanding. People on here are annoying about telling new people how to get started because they in all likelihood learned by themselves though searching and reading. Flashing a new rom is easy but there is a learning curve and you will need troubleshooting skills, so the more you read and know the better!

We are all learning by making mistakes You think why I know more than e.g. OP of this thread? Because I'm too impatient to wait until somebody will answer my questions! I was doing things by myself, bricking phones, restoring them back and gaining knowlegde! So not more experienced users are "bad" because they won't tell everything, NEW USERS ARE TO LAZY TO SEARCH, MAKING MISTAKES AND LEARN!!!

There is too many way to flash custom recovery. For that you can use my signature (there is a link for CWM).
And if you need to know about custom recovery then read these Tutorial - 1, Tutorial - 2, Tutorial - 3 or use search option on XDA.
fine

factory reset
or use Stock Rom
Or you can install the proper kerne for your device and the rom will work fine. I use the Edge version on my phone with a custom kernel and it works great...and I can enjoy all the edge features.
hing is all the kernel threads are pulled but in the 920p renegade rom thread itself is links to kernels for the 920p. One from one of my threads by ram9200 works awesome flash that for a fix or revert back then flash right rom.

Yeah, quoted wrong person lol. Sorry bout that. But yes, I believe from looking at the sources I have, the only difference from 920 to 925 is the additional screen space which our devices don't have, so the touch gets screwed up. Updating the TPS firmware reads the board, and updated it to the right one.
But, what koop said is what I was getting at Lol.
