Wow this looks cool! I can't wait to get home and try it. Thanks for your work!:thumbup:

Edit: I'm wondering why you removed pico? I use the voice dialer a lot. Is there a different voice engine included?

Hey guys, quick question for you. Would you guys be interested in a more look-a-like version of Ginger8 acting like a Windows 8 Phone or would you rather keep what you have now?

Well, it wouldn't hurt if you could possibly have one with just the W8 launcher and another that acts more like the windows 8, but up to you of course :)

If possible, having options for trace kb and/or compact qwerty would be nice as well. Nice work so far!

You could always d/l a keyboard from the market. Touchpal is a good, free one. Also, here is a flashable zip for the swype KB that comes with the stock gb shift rom. It worked in cm 7.2 whenn I was running it. Since this is cm 7 based, it may work too.

Yes, that worked! Thanks! I was trying to avoid using one from the market.
I've got my homescreen in decent shape.

I like showing the moonphase at the bottom of the calendar/clock ring. :)
I also like the Android Pro Widgets suite. It allows me to do some things in GB that are JB-like features.

    Scratch that. I was in the process of modding the ROM within the ROM and there are many Force Closes. But there will be an update, but I think I am gonna keep it as a surprise. Thanks. :)
