yes i think he's right. also, try comparing FWs .400 and .100 on antutu and see who gives a better score

I havent tried. 100 yet.
Technically it has an updated walkman and super stamina.
Dunno if it affects peformance.
Anyone here who has tried tell me so that i can push an update :thumbup:

Okay so i flashed the rom, it's smooth for now, i like the honami UI, for now i got no launcher redraws, no walkman Fc, and i use the default kernel, i haven't flashed any other kernel, but I think it's better to move to .100 because it's more stable than 0.400. and one more thing, Antutu benchmark Fc's at 3D graphics, and also i cannot synccronize my contats from my google account

Antutu Scores can be faked easily. Real performance is what matters.
Stock kernel gave best compatibility with tweaks so thats included.Please use that.

As requested i'll update to .100 firmware soon.
