Downloaded and installed just as it should. Install was actually quicker than I have seen on any other ROM. So much so that I doubted it would actually boot. :)

1. Bluetooth phone audio works fine (as it should, but with the issues that CM had with it in the past still feel it was worth mentioning)
2. Wifi tethering worked great.
3. Advanced Reboot options are hidden...as you would expect them to be if you've used CM lately, but mentioning it for those coming from a ROM where the developer may have unhidden it.

Only issue I noticed off the bat was a loss of cell signal after my first call. I only mention it cause I had never seen it before but it lasted for like 10 seconds and then signal came back again without me doing anything. With the phone sitting on my desk at work, the cell signal seems to fluctuate a lot. I go from 2 bars to 4 bars to 1 bar to 2 bars. Not sure if that is a ROM thing or not, most other ROMS seem to keep me pretty static at 2 bars.

All in all, seems to be a very solid release. Thanks alot for bringing this to the Note 2. As I said before, I loved it on the Note 1. Keep up the great and awesome work.

Thanks for the feedback. When we tested it there were no signal problems. It could be a temporary thing. If this continues let us know.

You're welcome. Signal seems to have calmed down and is basically static at 2 bars as I would expect to receive in my office.

Noticed one other issue and I think it's with the Bazooka Launcher. cLock doesn't seem to be fitting properly. Here are a couple of screen shots to show what I mean.

First one shows cLock with just the width adjusted. I expected the weather to fit in the space below the date. The second one shows when the height is adjusted. You can see it adds the weather, but there is a lot of dead space below it. The third one shows how Nova Launcher handles it.

Hope this helps. :)

That's why we are here. :)

and if that's the worst bug we find then your team has done a great job. Keep up the great work.

edit...noticed in the play store that there was an update to bazooka launcher although when I try and install it, i get an error that says "package file was not signed correctly....." I remember the same thing happened on the Note 1 so not sure if this is really an issue or not. I was hoping the update might have fixed the cLock sizing bug. I tried to look in the bazooka settings to see what version it was to see if there really was an update, but it doesn't say the version. Just thought I would mention it here.

I hope you don't think I am being nitpicky cause that isnt my intention.

I have 2 questions before flashing
1) Does the mms app have threaded group messaging like other CM10 roms? Its something i sorely miss in tw roms.
2) Will I have any issues with this rom using ford sync in my car?

Bippi,

Is there any way for us amateurs to recolor the messaging app? I installed a theme that I like for the general interface, but the yellow and green bubbles in the messaging app is in direct contrast to the blue theme.

We have a java based theme creator tool but it is not stable. We are releasing a QT based one which can do this. But you have to wait for some days.

pretty cool

Pretty cool Rom - a little buggy - some screen flickers - but minimal - I have always loved MIUI - but they have gotten kind of strange with their coins and themes and stuff - there are some great themes here now - looking forward to seeing more in the future - This rom is definitely worth checking out! Very Cool.
