I need someone to be my guinea pig and give this build a try. I no longer have the device but think this great device deserves this great ROM.
Your warrenty is now void blah blah. You know the deal. Please hit me with some feedback on bugs. Thanks​

Download link: http://d-h.st/u2g

Rev. 2 http://d-h.st/mId
Not sure if this will fix dpi issue. I dont have a hdpi.conf file that doesn't have a nav bar. Might need to make one if this doesn't work.

Rev. 3 http://d-h.st/qI6
A attempt to get hardware button layout straightened out. DPI issue unresolved. Use Hybrid settings.

Rev. 4 http://d-h.st/iqW
Possible dpi fix.

Rev. 4 http://d-h.st/rzS
Finally figured out what the real dpi is. Should be allset. check gps to see if recent cm sources fixed issue.

Rev. 5 http://d-h.st/8xn
2.9.5 updates.

I'm downloading now, will throw you some feedback after I have it installed :)

EDIT: Ok here's my review, first thing off the bat I noticed was the screen size was too big, tried setting the DPI value in build.prop and reboot but it stayed the same. Everything else seemed to run really smooth otherwise, if you can change the DPI to the s2 default I think this rom would then be superb :D I also wouldn't mind helping you troubleshoot, I'm not a noob to this sort of stuff, so just let me know, I restored my backup but I also have a backup of this rom too... :p

Got this up and running right now and it works great, no force closes or bugs . Can make calls and use Wi-Fi. One thing though when it first boots up you need to go to the hybrid setting and change the dpi and your set. Also one thing, you cannot press and hold the capacitive keys for different commands they can only be.set for one touch action and there is no option in the setting to add the search key so it's basically blank. I'll post a screen shot after I test it out more.

Thanks for getting back to me. The new repository has a whole new way of dealing with hardware keys Im still working it out. Were any of them set to anything at first boot? Also I tried to set the dpi to 213 I take it that didn't stick? Do you remember what it was at before you changed it?

The capacitive keys were as follows menu was set as menu, home to home, back to back, and search key is blank but does vibrate when touch. In then setting for the keys I can change the normal key presses but you cannot set the long press key options since they wont work.

The DPI was set to 360 for system and apps, all I did was enable the hybrid mode, rebooted, changed DPI to 213 system and 215 apps and made sure to change the ui mode to phone. It can change to phablet and tablet modes as well. The only issue I have is the search key , and long presses that don't work yet.

This rom so far is awesome and runs smoothly, also battery drain is non existing, though I do have a extended battery, but thanks and let me know if you need more info.

You have a new beta tester! I'll get some screenies for you soon.

Edit:

Initial DPI needs to be lowered. I think it's defaulting to around 350. Should be the low 200's.

Is there a reason Play Store isn't included?

Also, and you may know this, GPS is broken due to upstream CM changes. Might want to note that in OP as this is a feature a lot of people rely on. Maps seems to work, but other apps that use location can't get a lock.

When I tested first release build.prop said it was at 180...

EDIT: Gonna test new build, will respond back shortly...

EDIT 2: Ok you guys may have noticed that the Play Store displays too big when you load it up, to fix that just go to DPI Groups in Hybrid Properties, then add Google Play Store to the 213 DPI Group and that will fix it, I've also got my system DPI screen size fixed :p This rom is shaping up to be pretty good, nice job RBMacgregor :D

If the play store is not included its to keep the peace with google. They have done a lot for us and doing what they ask is the least we can do. It was in there at one point but may be pulled. As for the gps I was not aware its broken. I'm not too familiar with this device I'm just trying to get this build straightened out for my girlfriend who has the phone. Do you know what the deal is with gps? Is there a fix available or a commit I can revert?

What was the dpi set at in later builds? I dont have a file I need for hdpi no navigation devices but It must have worked or been in the old repo at one point. Im gonna try and dig into it and see what I can find. Other than stock dpi and gps everything else is hunky dory? system dpi should be 213
