Any chance of this restoring the tethering ability that the zv5 update broke?

nope.

Were you rooted? Use the flash tool to get back to stock. You probably edited something under /system. Well not probably, definitely or else it wouldn't have failed.

Would anyone be so kind as to define what each of these are in small detail? I know I'm most likely not the only one that doesn't know what AOSP, CRT (is that like... CRT monitor?), universal init.d, and deodexing is. :p

I would greatly appreciate it.. Not sure what an AOSP lockscreen would do, compared to ours. Lol.

Edit: Also, would this ROM come equipped with personalized/interchangeable themes, like Cyanogenmod has? (Besides the Nova themes)
I'm not too savvy on details when it comes to ROMs... I just love flashing new ones that are much simpler in a sense, and less bloated than stock.

AOSP aka Android Open Source Project means pure android, so for example since this rom has a AOSP lockscreen it will have pure stock android 4.1.2 lockscreen as you can see in the screenshot. Deodexed makes thing easier to theme for the system. CRT effect is the old television turn off animation "you'll see it a few times when you lock your device". Intrusive Notification Led allows app to take control of the LED notification light. & i think the rest on the list are self explanatory;)

No it will not come pre-installed with a theme engine but one of my testers has successfully Changed the theme using a app that works with xpossed and xpossed comes pre-installed.

"Have I told you lately, that 'I love you', have I told you lately..."
No, but no homo. I can't wait for this to be released. I'm like, insanely excited. Lmao.
Will we be able to update PRL and such through settings? Back on the ZTE Force, CM10 wouldn't allow you to use System Updates.
Also, does the lockscreen allow notifications to show? Like, how some lock screens give you preview pop up bubbles for messages and calls and such.

Edit: by "intrusive Notification", do you mean an annoying persistent notification to switch LED Light on/off? Lol.

Yes you will be about to do prl and profile updates. No the lockscreen doesnt allow it unless you tell the app to unlock the screen. No it only allows more apps to take advantage of the led light.

Oh, I mean notifications, like how the iPhone has notifications on the lockscreen, that you can view on your lockscreen, like how Facebook Home was, too.

And oh, I see... So we will have built in flash notifications (without a third party app) you think, or no such luck at this current time?


Edit:
Change log data
Code:
[B][SIZE="3"][U]1/27/14 Version 1.0.0[/U][/SIZE][/B]
[B]■ Initial Release[/B]

Is that the definite date, that tomorrow you will be releasing it? :D
