Thanks for all your work on this. I'm a total noob with very little experience. I only rooted my phone a few months ago and started flashing Roms a few weeks ago. Anyway, I tried out some different roms and found I much preferred stock to any off them. Maybe I did something wrong, but I kept getting bugs (lots of random crashes, freezes, and drops). To me, whatever advantages they offered weren't worth the reduction in functionality. Unfortunately, I failed to properly backup my stock Rom, rookie mistake. So I decided to give this Rom a try and I've been more than happy with it. I used twrp, flashing the original zip and the first update together, and it worked fine. I've been running it for two days now and have only found two problems, both very small with simple fixes. The first was the keyboard issue which was addressed early in the thread. The other is the messaging icon in the bottom menu on the home screen. When I clicked on it, it said the app wasn't installed. However, the same icon worked from the app drawer, so I just replaced it. Anyway, I'm really happy with this Rom and I think I'll be sticking with this one for a while. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see what you're up to. Some of your above ideas sounded really cool. Again, many thanks
