Thanks for this wonderful ROM. buttons for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and daydream are AOSP style rather the ROM style. Hope these will get changed in next releases. Some lag on camera when taking photos which is OK burr just want to inform.

Hello, so decided to give this ROM a spin coming from salty bean.. factory wipe format system wipe dalvik x3 but phone will not mount the internal SD card.. Tried fix permissions but still no luck .. Did a reboot and at first the phone will see internal but then would not.. Recovery will see both internal and external so thank goodness for that.. Is there anything I'm missing ?
I like the theming by the way looks great :thumbup: and thanks

Since I cannot mount internal or external SD I cannot take pictures nor capture a screenshot .. I did the same as before wiped cache factory, format system all that I said before and still it will not mount SD.. Then keyboard froze all of a sudden and after submitting was able to edit this post and resubmit my reply..

Tried out your new ROM this morning and I have to say its fast and smooth and overall I like the theming. The only thing I didn't like was the transitions between screens and how the keyboard spins on and off the screen. But that's just cosmetics so like I said the ROM overall is good work.

As far as talk of battery I actually think this ROM has better battery life than any of the other 4.2 ROMs out there..

    Tips
    -Try to take full advantage of the xperia facebook experience.
    Your facebook photos sync with the albums app and friend's music now shows up in the walkman app.
    Birthdays events etc all sync to your calendar. Go to settings>accounts and add an xperia with facebook account.

    -Check out the dcikonz pack by Daniel Czarnomorski. Go to to launcher settings>appearance to enable.


    Uninstall semaphore manager before flashing. It messes with oc settings. People have been using various workarounds to deal with it. I think I found the best solution for now. I enabled bigmem, tun, lock min to 100mhz, smoothui as scripts. If you want to enable any other option you'd normally use semaphore manager for, request the script. I will post all the options as zip files with the scripts. Nstools is included and now you can use it as the only app for oc'ing without worrying about settings not being restored correctly on boot and clashing with the semaphore manager app.
