Differences from Jellybean 4.1:
1. Lockscreen Widgets: Yes, they're present! You can unlock straight to camera!
2. Notification Drawer: It doesn't look like the fancy 4.2 notification drawer. The secondary notification menu icon does not give us 4.2-like quick settings. Instead, it just expands the icons we already have. Which means that the quick settings icons (Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, etc.) do not scroll! Also, the whole thing now has a blue background. The date and time are differently positioned.
3. Gallery: The title bar when viewing pictures is transparent! Excellent!
4. Extra Applications: New Message shortcut in the app drawer, Jewish calender app, OfficeSuite, and Snap n Go.
5. Settings: Here are the new things in settings:
o My Sound: Under the sound settings, we have My Sound. This used to be in the Phone settings before.
o Daydream: Yes, we get Daydream!
o Location Services: We have a new toggle for Access to my location, and a My Places option.
o Lockscreen: The settings have been changed around and you can access your lockscreen widgets from here.
o Language and Input: Driving Mode has been added here.
o Cloud: The Cloud option makes its return.
o Voice Command: A completely new option which helps you control the alarm, camera, music, radio, and calls. This used to be a part of S-Voice. You can tell that the ROM is incomplete because this doesn't have an icon.
o About Device: The Status now tells you if your device is official or not.
6. RAM: Total available RAM is now 828MB.
7. Screen Timeout: The home button to wake-up is no longer tied to S-Voice!
8. One-finger expandable notifications: Yes, they're present now! To collapse, you have to swipe down a bit before swiping up.
9. App Permissions: The app permissions are cleaner and have the 4.2 style.
10. Smart Pause and Smart Scroll: These can be accessed by long pressing Smart Stay in the extended notification menu.
11. Minimize Animation: There's a new 4.2 Jellybean animation when you long press the home button whilst using an app. It looks really good!
12. Default App Selection Skip: When asked to open a file with a certain application, you can now double tap on any application to quickly open it instead of making it a default or opening it just once.

Yep I searched for ages to find which source the app picker was part of. I really wanted to make a mod but I couldn't find any info for gb/ics....

I want a single press to select an app. I want. Tick box to make it default. I don't want to select an app and then select default or one time only... because that's 2 steps every time. Double tap is marginally better but not as good as the tick

Not crazy about the battery life in the wanam rom. Yesterday it died on me after 10 hours of pretty heavy use during a trip. Turns out not many Starbucks's / Coffee Bean's and McD's in Singapore don't let you charge your phone - found that out the hard way...
It's notably worse battery life than any off the other rom's I've been on. Anyone have any suggestions - flash a Kernel perhaps?
