Didn't pg's kernal break WiFi? That's why I never flashed it, 'cause I wanted my WiFi to keep working. I might suggest it not be included, but maybe instructions and a link on how-to flash and where to get it. Do you have any screen shots? I'd love to see what it looks like.

Yeah his kernel breaks wifi. I planned on including it if we could fix the wifi issue it has. ;) As for screenshots it doesn't look much different from stock (as of now). I'm going to work on this more tonight so expect an update with some fixes and new additions. :D

hey i downloaded it and flashed it. as soon as it started to do its thing, recovery crashed and rebooted back into recovery. idk, but it wont flash.... followed the instructions and it just crashes recovery everytime... luckily it will reboot back to stock just fine when turning it back on...

That's weird. Did it give any error messages? What version of CWM are you using?

I'm using the cmw in the root and recovery thread.... And i don't recall an error code, but i know that whenever i tried flashing it, the screen crashes and it reboots into recovery...when i rebooted the phone, it went back to the stock ROM

Hm that's weird. I'm going to add an updated rom later tonight (I can't test it during the day). Hopefully some of the issues will be fixed.

Wifi still doesn't work. >_< If anyone could figure out what's going wrong I'd really appreciate it.

Do you still have the kernel in there from Playfulgod?

wifi works off and on with me. sometimes I have to turn off then on for it to work or I will get a message that says no network connection. other than that I love the ROM so far. at first I couldn't get play store to connect. kept getting an error. So I fixed permissions in CWM and everything is great. runs really smooth. just wish PG's kernel was working.
