In all the other AOSP ROMs that I used, there were two types of toggles in settings. Power widget and stock toggles. I'll look for a screenshot for ya. Again, not a big deal.

I'm detecting a problem. I keep getting notifications that my "ASOP keyboard has stopped working" and "Avatar Rom has detected a crash". Also when I press the homesscreen button down atvyhe button of the phone it doesn't go to the home screen. Another thing is the GAPPS that was in the OP wasn't able to get transferred to my phone for some reason.
