Hey guys & gals,

I said if Phenom dropped a JB ROM I'd have some mods for you, I'll include the main flashable zip and add ons as I finish them...so here we go...I wanted this to be a "high contrast" mod that's still theme engine friendly. So its black in all the right places. And in my estimation is very clean looking. There's lots of extras and stuff under the hood to help with performance. I hope you guys like it and feedback/suggestions are always welcome. :)

Thanks:
Phenom for the great ROM, Cyanogen, Jesusfreke,Attack, Achep, Manup, Peter Alfonso, TeamBlackout, DjDarkKnight and of course the AOKP team for a forking awesome kang. :D

Alarm force closes and I have a cyanogen 10 boot screen. Otherwise everything is working great.

Yeah I saw I put the wrong one in the zip. For the alarm bug use a root explorer and go to data/data/com.android.deskclock. From there remove/delete the alarm.dbf. Also look in system app and make sure there's only the new desk clock. That will fix the fc issues.

I dropped the 4.3 camera apk in the data/app folder but I don't think it worked. I just get a really glitchy standard panorama after I reboot. Am I missing something?

Its a signed apk and it has different controls etc. You just use the package installer. (You'll have 2 cameras/2 galleries but you'll know which is which.) I didn't include in the zip yet.
