First off, thanks for your work, im sure when this is released it will be stunning, all I have to ask is can you please give us some details on this rom? I can tell from the OP that its from source, what else can you tell us? Maybe edit the OP with some more info
Yep,like what OP said....and
for some more INFO!
And this the reason why
i don't wanna install it yet !!
And lastly..
dunno if this gonna work w/ our D2G!!
Important Notes
Because I know some of you young hipsters just want to get right to flashing and not read through all of the
KNOWN BUGS (though you
REALLY SHOULD), I've consolidated some important things to remember.
- ON INSTALL YOU DO NOT NEED TO MOUNT SYSTEM MANUALLY - although it won't hurt, my install script automagickally does everything for you
- FULL FACTORY RESET IS REQUIRED - blur-related data mixing with aosp is a no-no, so wipe data before you restart
- THIS IS IN BETA - remember that. there WILL be bugs and i cannot guarantee that this will be ready for daily use yet. just keep your wits about you and enjoy.
- USES KOUSH'S RECOVERY - this now uses koush's recovery, so bootstrapper and ROM Manager should work
- DATA DOESN'T WORK - 3G/Data connections don't appear to be working yet, so you'll have to use Wifi if you use this. I will be releasing a partial update “fix” for this as soon as I can
I will keep this updated with any other questions people have.

Known Issues
Video doesn't work
Video “sorta” works, but only on low-res and youtube videos, and even then it's choppy. progress has been made but more work needs to be done.
Pin-point GPS doesn't work
Network-based GPS works (fuzzy-gps) and is accurate to approximately 20 meters. However, pin-point gps or true gps is not currently functioning. It is being looked into.
Camera/Camcorder do not work
The Camera freezes and ultimately crashes if you attempt to take a photo with it. The camcorder will crash as soon as you turn it on. These are being looked into as well.
3G/Data do not work
For whatever reason the phone refuses to connect to the 3G/Data network. Phone calls appear to work, but not data. I will be looking into this and releasing a partial update fix in the future.
