Can we have screenshot showing running and cached apps? I prefer to check out RAM usage first before trying out new ROMs

Sure

Thank you SPU. I will try this ROM later. :good:

Can you please upload it to some other website? It asking for permission after logging in.

as long as it is ICS, i'm pesimistic this rom could satisfy users by saying "it's fast". sorry this may really sound offensive, but i just wanna say the truth. i've been using ray since 2011 and been changing rom over and over. my conclusion, ICS was not meant to live for ray.

you could prove me wrong if you want to. i'll really appreciate if you start using JB as base. good luck!

i'm not a bad guy mate. so here i'm not in a position of giving poor rating or anything like that. i'm saying that ICS sucks on ray by experience, not by accident. i'm also not interested in underestimating your work. i'm just thinking that such a talented developer like you could bring a "real" fast rom, and it must be JB for sure, instead of ICS

That's a productive idea, lol!

Got bootloop on first install with CTC 2.8 kernel. Wiped everything before that. Trying again... :fingers-crossed:

EDIT1: Second install went OK. No GSM on first start, second one is ok. Playing now.
EDIT2: Location based WiFi FC's. Download internet settings fails.

PS: cleaning bloatware like there's no tomorrow, lol. Over 90 apks.
