  • reworked lockscreen music layout to be cleaner
  • fix ugly gradient on dark holo background
  • added AOKP Tips widget

  • added support for more lockscreen targets (2-8 options, your choice)
  • cleaned up octo lockscreen layout
  • fixed certain FCs with RC related to weather
  • Mms: fixed stripping certain Polish characters

  • as always, tons of fixes for devices and other backend fixes!

Personal Changes
  • Accidentally left out DSPManager. Will be in next build
  • Got rid of GooManager, went with RomKeeper instead (Thanks tdm!)(More info on it below)
  • Kernel update to latest by mantera
  • Many other small updates that you can see here

About RomKeeper apk
This is an awesome apk created by a dev named tdm (or tdmcode)
It has the ability to look online for the newest updates and notifies you when you have some automagically.
The UI is a little crappy, but you don't really need that much of a UI right now

Best part about it is that it can download a delta of the previous rom and the newest one and basically get the difference between them two. That way, you're only flashing a ~50mb file instead of a ~120mb file. AWESOME!
Also, you can just press "install" and it will install it for you in recovery.

Instructions on updating to newest version via RomKeeper
  1. Go into the app
  2. Look for a new update if there is one
  3. Click on that version
  4. Check out the info
  5. Press menu>fetch
  6. It will download the ROM (Or .delta)
  7. Wait until it says 100%
  8. Press menu>Install
  9. It will boot into recovery and install it for you and reboot into system. Just like that.

Does the camera work In this Rom ? Sorry i kind of dont keep up with ICS ROMs now.

BUGS
-It says "Sprint" in the lockscreen and statusbar. To fix it, just change the carrier label.
-RIL (Calling/Texting) is broken as of now. I'm working on it now. But 3g is working.
-Some options in the ROM Control are broken.
-Camera is still not working.
-Microbes live wallpaper isn't wanting to work. The rest of them work though
-3g bars aren't wanting to show.. lol.
I'm sure you guys will find the rest.
