My first try to modify my tablet was today with this ROM.
After a little time playing with it, I noticed that the screen brightness does not change, so it is a little tiring for the eyes.
I hope these little things to be fixed in the future.
But thanks for the effort to get the CM on our little tablets!

Screen brightness can change. I just checked it and it works.

There is another kernel for this rom. :confused:
No... Using a different kernel anyway wouldn't make sense, as you'd lose all the benefits of the CAF kernel.

I was preparing to install this rom more just received the official update to Android 5.0.2. I will test for a few days and evaluate whether it is the best option.
