Known issues

There is a bug affecting headphone detection. Ringtones and notifications are played through the phone speaker and audio routing seems broken. I will try and find a fix but this could take some time.

Same here.


edit: battery drain at 1Ghz. Not good...

I'm using this too - seems good

2 things to highlight

1. The font changing feature is a great welcome. But, the font size always toggles back to Normal, even after I've selected smaller or bigger font sizes

2. There seems to be a delay for the screen to turn on when pressing the Power button when the phone is locked.

Other than that, I love this

General instability at 1GHz too.. I have a feeling that the overclock values I'm using may not be correct for this device. I'm using code from genokolar with some small changes so it's entirely possible that I've fudged something up or HCDRJacob did when removing the gk_overclock ifdef. I need to look at it

Overclocking seems to be very stable on FLB r5 now

Yep and battery drain doesn't seem to be an issue when overclocked.

r5 of the ROM is now available at MoDaCo. MoDaCo ad-free and plus users can also use the online ROM kitchen to customize the ROM.
