+1

I could not find a way to close that. Screen is not really big anyway. This letter covers the screen for nothing

Thanks for this awesome ROM. I've been using it since it's been posted here and I just love it.
The only thing that doesn't belong there is that text from the notification bar.
I noticed that a feature from the settings doesn't work and that's the "slider torch". Instead of repairing that you should replace it with a different option. It would be cool to have 2 options to turn the torch on : -1- "tap the unlock slider twice to turn the torch on/off" (but without keeping it pressed). You just tap the slider twice to turn it on or off. -2- "keep the power button pressed to turn the torch on". It would be awesome if you did that. When you're in a hurry and try to find something quickly and it's dark.you just keep the power button pressed and the torch turns on. Or tap it twice, toggle the torch on and search for things without keeping the phone in your hands while it makes light for you.
I love the scrolling adjustment feature. Our Ace 2 is not a very powerful phone so it lags all the time when you scroll up or down in settings, gmail, the stock email app. etc, but with this I managed to reduce the lags with ~75%, which is great. It's nice to have a smooth experience on a phone.
Anyway, thanks and hope you read my comment.

You know about Settings/C-Tool/Lockscreen/Long press Home button/Flashlight ? For me its always the best option for fast turning on/off torch when i need this.

It's a bit uncomfortable to long press the home button to turn the flashlight on while looking for something. You could easily drop the phone. If you long press the power button instead, it's easier and a lot safer because you have a better grip.
I really love this ROM, it's the best out here and I'm not gonna change it for nothing even if you add the options I asked in the previous comment or not. You did an awesome job. Though, maybe you'll change your mind and add those options.

Hey PolishVodka, do you have any idea how I could change the stock KitKat theme from black to white? You know , like an inverted version of the stock theme?

Its easy to change (if you're talking about something like white background in Settings), but for solid white is necessery to change font and icon colors from white to black, something like silver metal background its pretty easy to change. Just enough is changing one .png in framework-res.apk, do not decompile/unpacking framework-res, just open it via 7zip (like archive), go to res/drawable-nodpi. Now replace background_holo_dark.png with your favorite (better not solid white because fonts are white, you know..) image (must be in .png format and named background_holo_dark.png too). Resolution should you use 512x512 pix like original.

After done, just swap thats framework-res.apk from original to yours and reboot phone.

Thank you very much. I did exactly as you told me and I changed the settings background. I couldn't believe it was that simple. But of course it's piece of cake only when you have the instructions given by someone who know this kind of stuff.
I suppose it's much difficult to make the background white and the writing black. I noticed that in the "drawable nodpi" folder was a dark background. which I changed with another one, and underneath it was "background_holo_light". I thought this second one was the font for the writing but I was wrong and of course I made everything not readable anymore (white letters on a white background).
But thank you very much. You're awesome.

Hey PolishVodka, do you have any idea why the official YouTube app doesn't play HD videos on my phone? I press on HQ, so it should be playing high res videos but the quality is still not good at all. Everything looks blurry and it's very annoying. It's not happening specifically on your ROM, I experienced it on other ROMs too, even on those ROMs that say in the feature list "YouTube HQ". I ended up using a modded YouTube app but I wish I could use the official one, if it worked as it should.

Youtube app is bugged for custom kernels, use Supertube and you will be fine

Thanks man. This app is way much better than the YouTube app. But just so you know, the official YouTube app didn't play HD even on the stock GingerBread or Jelly Bean as well. I tried that and it still didn't play HD videos. And I let the stock ROM untouched. I didn't root the phone or changed the kernel. But now you just told me about a super cool app and I love the fact that it lets watch videos in background mode, so I'm prettyhappy. Thanks again !

Rom is updated to 5.9 version + today's CM11 kernel if someone is interesting.
And clean install is really necessary!
