Remove touchscreen calibration fix /data extract bug
-- With aroma 2.55+ touchscreen calibration is no longer necessary
-- /data packages should get extracted properly after a /data restore
Updated to latest AROMA binary (2.56)
-- Much more stable binary in ICS recovery!
---- The newest binary hasn't crashed on me yet during testing unlike the older version (2.50) that was included in the last version of the SGS4G Installer.
