Reviews

  1. There a lot new thing i this custom rom compare anothers, maybe because this one use Android 4.2.1 but it great. i like this one with all added think
  2. There is no screen shot short cut buttons, so you must enabled screen shot button to added on power menu first.
  3. Automatic time zone, problem every 30 minutes after it fix, fix by restart my device. it cannot be done over and over so i am un tick automatic time zone and manually configure it.
  4. Battery seem long lasting, it been about 2 hours on my battery still 80%. but with condition only connect on wireless and no mobile data.
  5. Smooth, still not found any lags on all applications i have install even i use link2sd and link all to sd card.
  6. I don't try using a2sd or s2ext, because i see on change log that there is can use s2ext or a2sd, so i won't try it and ruins everything.
  7. Proximity does not working, and i thing this need to be fix 
  8. Feel a little bit lag when installed more applications, i have > 15 applications installed and i feel a little bit lag now, even found some system close.
