I'm not doing it for recognization, or nor do I have a donate button, as I'm not a developer. I'm bundling what I feel is the best of the best into a package. I asked to include the kernel for h0tcakez and was given explicit permission to do so from the owner flapjaxxx I also have permission to include AC!D's Audio Mod.

Changelog from RC9 to RC9 Kang :

***KEEP IN MIND***

Before downloading the ROM, the ROM is usually around 92 MB or so without GAPPS. This one has GAPPS included to make everything easier. So it's significantly bigger. Any GAPPS not found can normally be accquired from the Play Store. [YouTube, Google Music.]


-- Includes h0tcakez kernel as default kernel (better battery and performance) [Thanks flapjaxxx!]

-- Removed junk apps

-- Added Beats Audio mod & AC!D audio mod by Team AC!D. [[ http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2002197 ]]

-- Added Sony Walkman V (note, visualizer, edit music info, doesn't work!Looking into this, lower priority!) Thanks to Rizal Lovins! [[ http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1856186 ]]

-- Including GAPPS from LiquidSmooth. [[Removed a few apps like Google Music]]

-- GNOW is non-existent. Just Download Google Search if you want it. Simple enough.

-- Including Jelly Bean 4.2.1 Keyboard, Camera, Gallery. [Thanks to all porters!!]

-- Including a-GPS config file for faster and more accurate GPS locks. [Thanks Crypted!]

-- Hosts file to block advertisements. [Unknown contributor]

-- MusicSearcher.apk added. [Unknown contributor]

-- CPUSleeper.apk added. [Thanks Eugene!]

-- Build.prop tweaks for better performance and battery, call quality and signal quality.

-- 50% pre-supercharged.

-- Includes default LiquidSmooth launcher. Replace as needed.

-- Included Noozxoide if you wish to change from AwesomeBeats.

(Maybe missed some stuff, but this is the jist of it. Try er out?)

The people from liquid smooth team
The last sidekick for his kanged version
And other xda members that has contributed to our phone.

Yes, it's very smooth, great battery life, and i believe that native tethering is available without the annoying T mobile upsell, great rom mix! Look into the last sidekick's kang version!
 
The one thing I am usually wondering about battery life of this phone is always why the hell is the screen using so much even when it is on 0% brightness. Maybe the Galaxy S4 the new Samsung displays use less power so I can actually use my phone for like 10 hours without putting it down.

Just saying :)

Wouldn't that be nice.... I noticed that as well. I set the brightness low and it still the top battery hogger.... I'm guessing its the hardware? Cause it does it on any ROM I have previously installed... I also have an issue with the power button sticking.... its so annoying! By any chance do you know what the little dot on top of the phone is? Its by the headset jack in the middle of the phone up on top... can't figure out if its part of the speaker or mic

That's an excellent question and I will need to do some research - as soon as I find out I will let ya know. I always thought for some reason that was the proximity sensor but that does not make much sense since that should be somewhere close to the speaker for the phone to turn the screen off.
 
I might try this one. I'm using CM10 stable, and it isn't. Stable, that is. It crashes every couple of days and reboots my phone. Plus I'm finding battery life is less than great.
 
I'm running it I love liquid smooth ROMs ever since my DX its really not to bad on a s2 good amount of tweeks
 
I'm a bit unsure about downloading it from an unknown source. I only try ROMs that are available via XDA.
