---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whats working:

Wifi*
Bluetooth**
Camera
Camcorder
MMS/SMS
Calls
HDMI*
All the good stuff...

* items with this tick mark mean these work with the provided kernel + Rom/Theme, if you flash a new kernel OR THEME and any of these break it is NOT my fault/problem

**Experimenting with settings.apk theme sometimes breaks bluetooth

Whats not working:

Please let me know if you have issues with any of these features...
