Please do not overflow the thread with unnecessary posts! use DevDB features! (to report bugs, make requests, DOWNLOAD ROMS, WIDGETS...) if you want to discuss, there is the discussion thread in General. Please let's try to keep it clean and not overflow it! ;)

P.S: happy flashing to everyone today! the beast is unleashed!

If I come from stock ROM and used the built in app to backup data, can I still restore it in this ROM? Because most of the systems apps (SMS, contact) are updated.

Thank you for this great stuff.
