Discuss the rom here in xda and Hit Thanks if you try the rom and like it .

OUTDATED POST: Follow the first post link for detals.

While there is no recovery image provided with v2.0, i recommend trying out the TWRP (everything touch screen) or CWM 5.0.2.3 ( better confirm menus)
TWRP Recovery:

CWM 5.0.2.3:

if you want to get back to 5.0.2.0
CWM 5.0.2.0:

Just flash the above in recovery.

Default is 182 DPI ( use 240 for any incompatible apps or check here for market workaround)

Slim ICS:
Fresh/Clean Installation Instructions:
Pre-Requisites: need to have CWM recovery or TWRP recovery installed.
