You will need to keep this plugged in, as there is apps crashing and no power management feature yet, so battery burns quickly. The only thing you can do with it is interact with it via adb shell.

To go back, just flash the CM10.1 pack

And I've narrowed it down to one error

How to edit resolution instructions added, let me know if you find a magical number.

Resolution settings should now be listed and they look great.

Kernel is stated above, its my custom CM10.1 kernel developed by DJ_Steve and I

There has been no update on this because I am waiting for a new SD card to arrive so I can flash stuff.

I plan on an update soon, yes. I know they made some changes, and I need to catch up on two months of notes.

I think the Ubuntu dev's did say they were working on a power management module.
