Hi,
When i went back to gb from ICS, i was in need of a debloated stock gb rom with some features that we might miss in gb stock rom(smart dialing, power toggles etc.).i searched for it in the forum. But i couldn`t find such a lightweight rom with the above features. So, i made my own rom. Wanted to share it.. Pls give it a try and share your feedback.

i want to ask that the CAMERA is with 'superior auto' moded or normal GB?
& WALKMAN is there with all features?(as i can see in screenshot, its DSP & 'Music player' instead of WALKMAN

1.That`s normal GB Camer but ported from Xperia S GB Camera.. I`m not aware of any superior auto cameras for GB. If so, kindly update here..I`ll do that in the next update

2.Walkman with all features..
