Hi all. I had just flashed my phone to Jedi X. I love the rom, but it cannot find the SD card. I have been doing some reading, and to my understanding, the Persius Kernel would fix that problem if flashed onto the phone. My concern is, will it screw up my Jedi X install? Where do I put the persius file if my phone or computer will not see my SD card? Can I put it on the main phone memory? How exactly am I supposed to do this whole setup? I have a Galaxt Note 2 with the at&t carrier. I downloaded the "Perseus-aplha 36.3-i317" tar and zip. My model phone is sgh-i317, so I assume I have the right file.
