I honestly can't compete with alot of the other ROMs available. But yeah.. maybe one day.
If I was you, I wouldn't worry about trying to compete with other ROMs or what other developers are doing or what's going to get you on pocketables!

Just do what you want! Have fun with this ROM and do it is you want with it.........all that other crap will sort itself out :)

Guys... Im running this right now (I got first dibbs :) ) and this is crazy fast. I've never seen something so quick. Even in the set up menu, it loaded faster than usual. If you want to use this as a daily, I'd suggest downloading only the essential apps you need. Dont over load the system with all your games and music players. You will be amazed by the speed, stabilty and smoothness of this bare essentials Rom. Give this guy some credit for creating this monster!!

Downloading this beesh now. I noticed you said you were planning on adding the Bravia engine. Just a heads up that I noticed on the Nitrous rom that it was removed due to lag caused by it. Might wanna hit up raafaell to see more about that. Haven't gone through that thread in a while to see if it was mentioned. :good: Other than that, slimmed down is the way for me! Expect good to moderately great things from this!!! :D

Yeah, the one from July 2nd, oops!! forgot to give credit.. fixing now.

edit: fixed. Proper credit was given.
lol i was just making sure cuz I used the same in my rom and tbh an EQ is not really needed. It sounds great as is.

I got it up and running and must say this is about as fast as an AOSP/CM7 rom out of the box. Feels like there is no sense in this... thats non-sense!!! Might need to UC a bit to slow this thing down. No joke lol... well maybe just a little for better battery life ;)
