Extras Packs: ª
As of "Nightly Build 5", you'll notice certain things will be removed in favour of a smaller download size. However, here is the good news: I will be turning these removed items in "extras packs" so that you can add them back if you really want them. You, the end user, will get even more choice as certain "Extras Packs" will use Aroma so you can choose which particular features of the Extra Pack you actually want while leaving out the ones that you do not want.

Disclaimer:
*Velocity² is currently in it's Nightly Build Stages, although ~95% stable, things can still go wrong. I, Leigh Kennedy, will not be held responsible for any problems caused as result of you, the end user, flashing this ROM.
ªAny "Extras Pack" including ones made by third parties may possibly be able to work on other ROMs, however, I, Leigh Kennedy, will not be held responsible for any problems caused as a result of any "Extras Pack" and it is of the due diligence of, you, the end user to research into the matters of compatibility yourself when, I, Leigh Kennedy, have not.
