Any info on those scripts in comparison to other major roms?

Also integrated gapps? Isn't that not kosher?

I know the rom its built off the latest stable Cyanogenmod, about the Full Gapps Integration i don't understand why other devs don't put it on the rom already, it's much better like that.

I vaguely understand it as a license issue with google.

My general impression of these branched roms is that many features don't require them to be included with a rom, so I would rather skip the middle man and stick with the primary developer. There are faster updates and less bugs introduced I think

I know that's not really an ontopic answer. So just be aware of the bugs mentioned in the devs thread. I don't remember if he made a new release before stopping development while his device is out on RMA

Yeah im aware of some of the bugs people are reporting, he said once he gets the device back, he will release the new update, i remember using his Alien Rom on the HTC V 4G, it was a good rom.

i haven't flash the rom yet, haven't got a chance yet, but i heard couple people say the rom is a beast with LaboDJ version of franco kernel.
