Just like to say a big thanks for the work on here just got my s3 and running omega 4.2 with many other mods on big thanks to everyone and lets hope soon i can contribute back to others
Great thread. Every forum needs one.
One thing though, I'm finding it a bit tricky to read being all centred. Would you mind testing it left justified for a while please?
I'll be honest, I'm only posting here as I do not have the 10 posts needed to reply in the Dev Threads.
But I had to give a Big Up to M3dd0g for his BlackStaR V2.1 VelocitY OF LighT ROM.
It was my 1st attempt myself in the world of ROMs but having been a big fan of both the Sense UIs & Stock ICS, I just couldn't stand TouchWizz!
So i downloaded V2.0 last night & went out the house & found V2.1 available late at night (Saudi time) & this ROM is Nutzz!
I personally thanked the Dev via Inbox but wanted to share my experience here in case anyone is hesitant about his ROM. Go for it
Now for my silly question, How do you thank in a thread here?
Majed
extremely helpful thread - a great compilation - never stop please !
