I just tried this ROM, and I think it's much faster and smoother than stock based cube roms! I have a huge problem though.. I think google play downloads apps, but it doesn't let me open any downloaded apps. If I open an app, it just takes me to the app page in the google play. I THINK it's related to the LCD density that they changed? Everything's tiny. Some people like that, but it causes some problems. So I can't download a file manager (actually can't open it, along with anything I download), so I have to disable my volume buttons because they are broken and acting weird if I don't disable them. Also, I tried downloading all these free apps I need from computer and tried moving to the tablet, and they were moved successfully, BUT I realized..without a file manager, I can't install any apks..damn!

I don't know what to do??

EDIT: NVM after rebooted, every app I downloaded appeared!

BTW, any U9GT2 users who wants to try this rom, DO NOT use the CWM recovery posted in this thread. It bricked my tablet, then I recovered it luckly, and now everything's fine. Use the CWM posted on FlashMyAndroid forum in the recovery section of U9GT2 forum.

OMFG.. Today is THE day I started to actually like my tablet...since like February??

Just changed the LCD density to 160 (original), and even the home screen is super smooth! Before, at density of 120, the home screen was kind of laggy, but all other system was smooth, but now everything is perfect! If you are an U9gt2 owner, and are somewhat frustrated with the ICS performance, DO TRY THIS, and do all the stuff that I stated above, including POST above! Oh and I changed to Apex Launcher btw.

Cheers!!
