Can I install this without partitioning? I checked the OP but couldn't tell.

Lemme clear this up. Apps2sd is backed in and only works on partitioned SD cards. So unless you want boot loop city, I advise you partition.

Download worked fine on my phone. Don't know what's going on on your end.

I will try downloading directly from the phone.

Hey guys, as you can see, an update is coming. It will be a minor one. I added back Titanium backup, and an app by 'rujelus22' that allows you to install inverted apps as you wish. Also, I added back swiping notifications, recent apps, and quick settings, sorry about that. The ROM will be about 200 or 201MB but I can assure you it's worth it. I just added all the apps that will make your life eaasier upon flashing so you don't have to worry about downloading a whole bunch of stuff.

I am thinking about making a version of my ROM that is nearly stock, and slimmed down. A version with different kernels, and a version with a whole bunch of apps in it. What do you guys think??

Thank you all for the continuing support.
