Crossbones Kernel version: 0.1.0

The Crossbones Kernel (tuna) was derived from the Codename Android kernel, which is based upon (and created by) the Savaged-Zen kernel. We chose to base our kernel off of this particular kernel as mwielgosz has worked closely in the past with the developers of this kernel.
The original kernel base is built off of 4.0.4 kernel source code and is at linux version 3.0.26


Source code:

First, almost all non-stock features have been coded by myself. Of course there are a few that I didn't write, but this ROM is minimal but unique.

Features include:
* Crossbones Welcome app for showing a changelog with each new release
* CPU Settings built into Settings app
* A custom kernel with tons of governor/scheduler choices
* Quick Settings menu from icon in the notification bar (new with this release, screenshot in OP)
* Extended Power options (I did not write this code)
* The MMS Split code I wrote way back when
* GooManager preinstalled for OTA updates.

I forget what else is in the ROM that's different from stock. Also, some things about the Gnex version are different than the Nexus S version. I've been working on this project for the past 6 months and I've forgotten some of the things that I've changed from stock. I guarantee there are some unique features that will be expanded upon, for example, I'm very excited to get more work done on the Quick Settings

Please do not start requesting features. I have a list of things I need to change/add. Sadly, I don't have the time to work with the ROM all the time, I have a job, two kids, and I'm getting married next Saturday (provided it doesn't rain)

Intelligent man. First had the kids and now that you are fairly certain, you are getting married. Great approach.
LOL!

Many congratulations on your upcoming (hopefully Rain-Free) Wedding

BTW: Some apps say that there is no busybox installed

Busybox does not come with the rom. I keep forgetting to add it in...

You should be able to download it through the market though.
