Just flashed, it's really fast!!! everything seems to be okay now. My tablet is WiFi 32 GB, but it just recognized 16 GB :D
As you mentioned, the most annoying issue is the screen refuses to wake.
Thanks for bringing this to tablet z. (y)

Great stuff! Can't wait to try it out on my own tablet. I have the wifi only version as well to flash the rom on.

Silly question alert :) but is there a way of getting this as a secondary rom in multirom at all?
This question isn't that silly. :p
I also thought about that already. In the system.img form it's not possible. But it should be possible to package the things up in a flashable zip.
Then it could work. I will try it today. I don't get further with the not working features. So I try this.
