- Vibrate (With the nAa/alfs Kernel)
- Sound (We can ear in the earspeaker)
- SD Card Readable (V005)
- LED (V005)
- GSM (V005) (Can receive calls and SMS but cant make calls )
- Brightness (V005)
- SMS

What's don't work:

i tried alpha 9 and cypress works (stock kernel only)
for xrecovery go to system/bin and rename "fx8-rec.tar" to "xrecovery.tar" and recovery will work
