Very cool ROM, no bloatware, literally nothing there .. except of the essentials ... :) Been running it for a day, battery is awesome, memory footprint about 20% less than stock ... all custom kernels do work with the ROM, no issues with Camera (used Pexo, now trying Cyberian II). Sound is well (although I prefer V4A, may try it out later on..). Kudos @bloodofJesus. :) Like the barebone system :)

Interesting, could you tell me a few things;

  1. Are you on locked or unlocked bootloader ?
  2. Did you install the dual recovery package ?
  3. If on unlocked do you have a recovery installed in your recovery partition ?
