By the way, have you thought about adding lockscreen notifications from AOSPAL? That is one of the only features that I am missing since I switched this morning.

Yeah we were deciding between active notifications and lock screen notifications. I'm leaning more toward lockscreen myself :)

Not at all. We will be adding a bunch of features. This is the earliest stage of this project. :good:

One last thing, this isn't a feature though. On this device (and grouper, mako, and hammerhead), there is a mod called MultiROM which allows you to dual boot.

Well, you have to have a kernel with kexec-hardboot support and your ROM doesn't include it by default. While you can install a custom kernel to fix this, it is nice for it to be preinstalled!
