I must say this ROM deserves more positive press. I have tried pretty much all the ROMs and everything just works, smooth and fast. In fact I keep trying to put another ROM on my N7 and after a few hours seem to just go back to flashing the nandroid of this one. Thanks and nice work.

Agreed that the Rom works well, however, I tend to install those Roms that not only run well but also have regular input from the Developer in the thread that they created. At the moment this doesn't appear to be the case in this thread. In fairness to him, I can see that he has released a number of roms for a variety of different devices which may well mean that he simply doesn't have the time to be able to reply to questions etc... in each thread but at the moment, it feels like just another one of those roms where the Dev has created the thread and wants nothing more to do with it. Hopefully I will be proved wrong!

Outstanding ROM. PIE works better than ever. I hope the OP keeps this updated.

ROM works fine. Why would the dev wanna hang out in this thread? To answer the same question twice on every page?
If you wanna chit chat with the dev find him on twitter. Xda isn't a social media
If you have ROM issues there are many ways to contact the developer outside of this thread.

@drewgaren

While Flashing is commonplace to many, wouldn't it be prudent to include flashing instructions for your rom? I will also mention that the dl is painfully slow. A second link would be appreciated.

Thank you for your work.

Yes but it's most about your screen time.

I'm not interested in chit chat, however, I don't think its much to ask that the OP is updated with details of any new updates and changelogs. Personally I use Google+ to keep up to date with the comings and goings of whats new, but I would imagine a lot of people rely on XDA.

More so when you spend a little for a sponsor login. Full speed no wait queues. I spent $10 to have hundreds of files come down faster. Great value pus helping out a site that helps out countless amount of people.

This ROM has the fastest boot up time out of any ROM I have run. Plus this thing is so smooth and fast with a ton of options. Rootbox has been my go to ROM, this is just as good if not better. Awesome job!!!

This makes no sense. The thread is like a week old. No actual dev type questions until the past 24 - 48 hours (which may be user error). The vast majority of posts are praises for the ROM.

You come in, SEE all this, and this is what you offer? A complaint about dev participation in a 2 or 3 page NEW thread? What a contribution. XDA thanks you!

Best ROM for grouper. Hands down.

I can't seem to get a wallpaper to apply from my gallery without doing a reboot. It's no biggie, just wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks to the dev for an awesome ROM, I'd like some input from other users about a memory consumption issue I'm having, I haven't looked into it much yet so for all I know it could be a misbehaving app. With other ROMs I always have plenty of available ram. But with this ROM I'm literally running out of memory.

an orca tilapia thread hasn't been opened so I would post my problem here. I downloaded the latest 1.0.3 tilapia version and flashed but there z no GSM network and also no settings for that as if it was a grouper rom
