Yes and No, the AOSP 2.3.7_r1 Google Source compile is completed, still working on getting it to boot with the phone, should have that fixed in a day or so then we can start moding it, to make it better than 2.3 will keep you guys posted on the progress.

I have a weird issu with this rom! I woke up this morning and my data completely stopped working.. So I restored my backup that I had and no luck! I had to reinstall this rom and then my data came back on? If it cuts off again I'm going back to stock as so rom is stable enough for my phone.

I've been using arearom since December and have never had this issue
