Damn, it's such a great ROM, if only there were light version, because that looks better for me.
Glad that you're back

BTW: Is there much difference in speed comparing f2fs and ext4 (I mean in this ROM) because I'm not sure if it's worth changing because ROM may be fast enough on ext4 so changing to f2fs will make almost no difference.

I've used f2fs for a long time but now I'm using again ext4 and I can say i don't see any speed differences. But EXT4 is for sure more stable and safe for the phone.

I'm trying to flash this rom but i have some problems.. i get everytime and with every gapps package a crash of the Google Playservices during the initial setup
So.. is there a gapps pack that works with darkpop (except Banks gapps that seems to work properly)?
