[jeetlebuice]

few screenies here- http://s1188.photobucket.com/user/jeetlebuice/slideshow/spirit for Arc and ArcS

wifi on the rom did work at first without modules but then stopped,so flash the modules.
camera works and flash but as mentioned video doesnt work at all.
sound is working great from apollo.

once camera is working fully ill give this rom a proper go as its packed with features and runs pretty smooth(cant live without working camera)

 

[sympi]

I'm testing this ROM currently and so far it is pretty damn fast and smooth. Auto-rotate is not working, atleast for me.

 

[Vynikal]

Wow, OptKernel taking over.
Good job :good:

New v1.1 build uploaded.
I hope everything works perfectly fine now. Except for the camera preview which after a couple of app reboots should be fine.
