For me, i needed touchpad activator only for Nova 3.
As for games, this ROM is not best in heavy gaming, antutu score is about 4500 to 5500OC. Nova 3 (for me) had some lag, but it depends how much stuff is installed (more stuff = less RAM = more lag). That's why i put Aroma installer...

wich font is that?

And this is why i put Aroma installer
Just untick FB,timescape, sensme slideshow, dlna, and all stuff you don't use in aroma. Use stock launcher and stock quickpanel (aka no quickpanel).
Choose your options wisely :silly:

But not so hard to erase the apps that you do not need or use the Aroma Installer... Do not be lazy!

Well, i'm still in process of learning about android, and so far i learned how to mod only
But since i am a fan of customized installers, i tried to learn to fight with Aroma Not that hard, but loooot of copy-pasting
Unfortunatelly, editing framework is still beyond me, so i couldn't add small apps to menu. Maybe one day...

im too a fan of ustomized installers and i really like this rom..i have installed now and so far..good ram for a ics rom (150/170 ram) with serajs ui wich is ram eater..so maybe if i choose another one i have a bit more..runs fast and for now seems good..i m gonna tweak a little bit and do more heavy tests.
just miss reboot in and screenshot on power menu but np..reboot on status bar and screenshot the usual way (power+vol down)..video is buggy as most of ICS roms..dont know why..trying to figure out.. great great work..i liked the 1 version..wich is stock..imagine now..tomorrow a full review for you to add in 1 post..i think this rom has been overlooked but has potential to be ICS top rom.

I would appriciate if you can take few shots from Aroma installer, i don't have extra camera and can't take screenshots from Aroma.
Well, i messed around this ROM (stock .632) since it came out, and this is just collections of mods that i know it worked
I'm glad you like it Thanks for video review, i'll add it for sure when it's done

Sorry, no, not yet. I guess framework.res and framework.jar need to be edited, i think there are guides for it on xda. Plus, this rom need to be deodexed first. For now, this a limit of what i can do, but i'll look into it...
