His works are very good! It would be great if you made a rom 4.0 + (CM9 or CM10)

Thanks,guys
I forgot about one thing with the screenshot. Transparent statusbar is set as default. If you dont want the transparency, go to theme chooser and apply black statusbar theme. I will upload the transparent statusbar screenshot one tomorrow

Maybe he will made 4.0,look at his signature.
But I can't wait for SENSE!
