Thanks, it means a lot. :) Its my first :)
It wasn't too long ago I helped port Sky Note 4.3 from the AT&T Note 2 over to the Verizon Note 2 before I jumped to the Note 3. Quite a bit of work went into that and it was very exhausting to say the least. But very rewarding too. :D

I have a new respect for developers. I spent 30+ hours for a week. Half of the days I would be staying up until 4 or 5 O'clock.

Oh absolutely. It's crazy insane how long it takes sometimes trying to do something basic like say make sure the battery meter change sticks.

On that note I'm assuming looking over the ROM notes I should be doing the "fix permissions" before the first boot of the ROM, right?

I know the thing for me was it took me 2 days to figure out why it wont boot. I probable built and started from scratch 10 times just in 2 days. And I've Odined 5 times (me being stupid) you dont need to fix permissions anymore. I fixed it, but you can if you want ;) But she is stable and fast, running it over the stock right now :)

So I'm assuming has this ROM been tested on devices that have been upgraded to MJ7? Also thanks for the heads up on permissions. It's actually in the main post mentioning for people to do that but I wanted to clarify at what point one should do that.

By the way for good laughs here... I should of looked closely at the main post as you specifically mention MJ7 was used as the base for building this ROM. I must be more tired and near falling asleep then I thought. :silly:
