* Your warranty is now void.

* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/Velocity is no longer a one-man show. I partnered up with Getitnowmarketing and Savoxis, two of the very best and well known developers in the Ally community, to form the new Velocity team. Our goal forming this elite team was to produce a fast, reliable, and feature packed custom ROM experience never before seen by the Ally. That end result was Velocity V1.0.

All the Velocity scripts have been carefully packaged into one powerful menu-driven package, allowing you to easilly access individual features without having to remember confusing syntax.

* Show or block ADs
* And much more to come!
