It was no biggie about the IME. I use the htc one myself (first one I pushed actually). As other's have said, it is quite a speedy rom, almost comparable to Dwang's IMO. Obviously with the 10mb ram hack gone, it slows down a tad, but hey, that's why we all downloaded this one. 10mb hack = no 3d games! Very good work indeed. I don't know if anybody else has had this issue though, but the backup root app does not seem to play well on this rom. The last data restore I did causes my memory card to stay stuck at "checking for errors" which killed performance. Not a big deal as I'll just have to restore data manually, but just a word of warning in case it happens to anybody else. I'm going to try using one of the themes built for dwang as well and will post my results. Since you are working off his build partially, it SHOULD work. Will post my results!
EDIT:@ normalasian: mediafire link on the way. Hang tight!
