YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

here u go. see that bar on right side ...

Buddy its the scroll bar what u want mastermind to do with it do u want him to make it smaller or u are asking him to remove it as it its a scroll bar so it cant be removed and if u want him to make changes it the apk and make it small then he needs to work on it and get it but i dont think its a bug as if its present in the app only for better scrolling.

noo I wanted to him to make it look good. see it carefully it is having some visual bugs ....
1st of all scroll bar can't be removed, if i do so it will also gets removed from other apps as its in framework...u will not be able to jump to particular contact in contact app etc...
N what u calling visual bug is i think that color difference in the middle, right?it is what it is...i will see some other ics apks for replacement of this scroll bar.

Updated the rom but there is no network in both the sims.. Anyone else facing this problem???
Flash thrice with this rom.. there is no signal..
Again installed bt 1.1 and bt 1.1 is working fine..
Strange....its working for others.
What u can try is,get the both rom's zip, replace contents of /system/etc/firmware/ folder of Anarchy with that of BT rom...then flash again.

everything is working fine.. there is no lag in dialer as was present in bt 1.1. every thing is super smooth. except i dont like the incoming call screen. Its pretty old. is there any way to change this may be like bt 1.1 or anything different from stock.. and i dont think beatsaudio is working, there is no icon for that (my htc shows icon in notification area). When i go to sound effects in music player n enable it n select any effect. The music player stops and then i have to again play the song again. and volume of music player is lower than bt. BT has better sound quality.

BeatsAudio icon would be there if i did not remove BeatsAudio.apk....i removed it because it is actually BeatsAudio Installer...it will be there just for notification only.u can even install in from Play Store.
N dialer screen cannot be changed...n worst part is dialer replacements are not compatible with mtk devices.i have tried many, they will be shown on calls but they are unable to pickup or reject call...they will again sow u original dialer screen to pickup or reject.
I know about the audio, i m trying to improve since i noticed that but i m still struggling.
