AOSP JELLY BEAN 4.2.2_r1
Also included are some optimizations by Texas Instruments and the result is a BLAZING OS running on what is now considered an out-dated memory model (512MB RAM).
Most OMAP 512MB devices are not supported by their OEM vendors past Gingerbread (LG may be an upcoming exception).
This ROM represents exactly what is being pushed to Nexus 10/7 owners. Now you can join in the fun too!

NOT WORKING
- Bootanimation needs a display bugfix

- I'll check out photo sync options

REQUIREMENTS
- Should be running FireFireFire Bootloader 1.4a found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632375
- Have a custom recovery installed, such as TWRP 2.2.x.x+ or Cannibal Open Touch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025793
- Easy method for both -> Use Smirkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500935
INSTALLATION
RECOMMEND FULL WIPE UNLESS UPDATING A 4.2 ROM Use Titanium Backup to restore apps.

- Reboot into recovery
- Make your backup (You do make a backup right?)
- Wipe Data/Cache)
- Flash both the ROM and the gapps .zip files
- Reboot and Enjoy
