This is one massive update to my ROM. I have personally themed damn near every image in it. A LOT of help came from Sonny Sekhon, author of the ICS theme for T-Mobile Theme Engine. Many thanks to him for getting me started on this!

Recommendations:
Wipe EVERYTHING before installing, or you WILL have problems.

Give the ROM time to run, before judging it. It will be slow to start, but speed will increase as things settle in. Wont take long, maybe a few minutes!

As for the Market, you need to sign into your Google account FIRST, and then the icon will appear.

Now to install and vote...

When you speak of the two finger rotation, where does this apply?

sent from my speak'n'spell

[lehthanis]

This rom is SMOKING fast... Two finger rotation is for the Google Maps. Also I gotta say that boot animation is pretty awesome But I'm biased.

[mountaineerndixie]

Is the kernel included in 7 the one posted in OP of the PE beta release thread?

[msg04]

DeskClock fc's on me when i try to create a new alarm. Was thinking of pulling the apk from another rom and pushing it on this one. Not sure where I would replace the DeskClock.apk

update: nm, found where to put it. Took DeskClock.apk from LGB 1.85 and pushed it to this. Alarm works fine now

Is the kernel included in 7 the one posted in OP of the PE beta release thread?
