NOT WORKING
- Bootanimation needs a display bugfix

- I'll check out photo sync options

- Wipe Data/Cache)
- Flash both the ROM and the gapps .zip files
- Reboot and Enjoy
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Q: Does this include the new 3.4 kernel? A: No, it's not ready yet.
- Q: Where's the "Developer" settings menu? A: Go into Settings -> About tablet, and tap the "Build number" box about 7 times. That enables it.
BUILDING THIS ROM
[ It's a rough build. Probably not going to update the public manifest ]
