Hopefully this will be making its way into the daily rotation of ROMs alongside stock only so far. It may be if it is like the S3 ROMs.

I'm sure there will be. The one thing you have always had over other options is the OPTIONS of getting rid of things like apps and others. That is what always kept me staying with ya.

Haha yeah thats probably because I'm the only seeder and most of my upload bandwidth is going towards uploading the Direct download. Wait for everyone to wake up and start seeding :) I on the other hand am gonna stay up all night working on this bad boy :D
