The landscape background in the settings screen is the criss-cross looking one even after I changed to the neon theme. Also I think the themes are mislabeled.

To see what I mean go to the home screen, rotate your phone and open the theme menu then pick one. The backgrounds won't match up.

Hi everyone,

Flashed KA12, and until now is even more goood :D

About the bugs on your front page "Mount sd-card from recovery doesn't work", if you use nightelf kernel RC2 its working ;)

I'm now using the latest nightelf kernel full without zram.

About the wallpapers, they are very cool man !

The landscape background in the settings screen is the criss-cross looking one even after I changed to the neon theme. Also I think the themes are mislabeled.

I installed the ROM yesterday as soon as KA12 was uploaded. I used the Night-Elf RC2 Full kernel without zram and already had the .64 baseband flashed from previous installation.

Speed performance has been outstanding. No lags, not even with over 10+ apps in the background (when u view them in the task manager by holding down the home button)

I am running No Frills CPU app to impose an upper limit of 806MHz in the hope of keeping battery drain down and I also uninstalled the Dormancy Manager using Titanium Backup as it was generating a large number of wake ups so wanted to ensure deep sleep was not affected by wake ups.

Overall its a fantastic ROM, even with the little bugs it originally had like with the backgrounds, however I will install the latest release of the ROM tonight.

Only 1 request from me, a screen auto-brightness function as that's what drains my battery the most.

Well done Krabapple, brilliant work. I'd be happy keeping this ROM on until the next version of Android.

Sorry man, but the latest K12 light is bad. THEMES do not work, the screen turns blank. The Alarm Volume rocker in the Sounds menu still doesn't work either.

I think Krabappel2548 you should do 2 version of your ROM:
-KAXX Lite Version(Without Timescape, Face Unlock Etc.)
-KAXX Full Version(With Timescape, Face Unlock, Etc.)

This would be better options than when you want Full Version you must instaliing evrything ,,add-on" ;)

And Themes doesn't work ;) Also, Data widget on Neo V always is blue (also when you turn off data) ;)

Actually, modular like this is better for me. I don't install every module. E.g. I prefer to keep my screenshot, rather than the skip track. I don't use Face Unlock, so by not installing it, I have more free space.

And I think, KA make the rest as additional module, as he try to make his ROM smaller, but he still think there may be someone who need the module that he remove.
