I'm interested in trying out your work. Even more interested in your coming JB version. However I have a small dilemma... My power button is broken so I have a few questions. First does this come with a touch recovery? Second does the ROM come with the ability to use the volume rockers to wake the phone and third is there an optional notification toggle to put my phone back to sleep?

Edit: Went ahead and took a chance with my busted power button. I managed through recovery though the button layout was different and got the rom installed. I then went into the first boot. Waited patiently for it to load and was presented with an unexpected screen... Instead of the normal setup screen I was greeted with "Encryption Unsuccessful"!!! I guess I didn't actually end up breaking anything though because instead of clicking reset phone I rebooted a couple times and it still didn't go away so I got back into recovery and flashed back to the rom I've been using and I appear to be intact.

I don't know if this was a fluke but I have to assume so because in the past I flashed multiple ICS roms without problem.
