The next release will be based off the official OTA update for the D2. Jboxen posted this in one of the threads some where....not sure where though. I also have seen it on his twitter.
ive been in talks with jake and it would seem to me that he is deffintly waiting for the ota for his next release. that would be the logical move anyways. as far as new features or anything i havent heard of anything yet
I'm not even sure what new features I'd need, personally. My battery life and stability are off the charts, which is all I wanted when I originally rooted.
