Will check this out :)

One question, is this based on your update of CM13, 'cause I'm currently using that and it is perfect.
Yes it is.
I will say one thing about this ROM.Although it has few,if any customization options at this point.It is very very smooth and super fast.

4G?

Hi there,

anyone tried this ROM yet? Yesterday I updated from 0.1 to 0.2. since 0.1 was running very stable. No battery drain or camera crashes eg.
Though its not really possible to switch connectivity to something else as 2G/3G/4G-LTE in the menu, it seems to use just 2G-Edge, right? Same in 0.1.
Anyway, thank you for this ROM!

About this rom i can only say it's smooth and fast but veryveryvery low personalization.

Agreed on the personalization, but they are adding more options.alpha 0.3 is out now and 0.4 should be later this week.I'll update this then.
