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

Info from Drew Garen

This is based off of Beezy’s 4G beta 2 androidcentral (haha they banned me) rom, with several improvements made by me for Nexus S 3G. I am really trying to crank out stability and full updates in this beta so this can truly be a daily build.

Changelog:

-updated gps for more accurate location (still not perfect)

-returned status bar to original state, but updated some states

-updated fonts and language support

-updated powerwidget

-init.d tweaks added

-google talk video over 3G

-updated dpi

Addressed Notes:

-This is not a huge release, but this is enough to make it a daily use rom.

-Bluetooth does not currently work because of a missing file

-Lag, if you experience lag after first boot. I recommend a reboot after setup wizard.

-GPS is not fully accurate but is working close enough for now.

-Languages have issues, some work perfectly others may cause the system ui or status bar to force close.

-Sometimes During Setup Wizard, after you go through setup it may repeat to google setup, you can just press back on screen or home to get out after you have already completed setup.

-A release candidate will becoming soon.

[/B]How To Speed Up Your System: [/B]

In in the Settings under the system menu you will notice Developer Options. In Developer Options under the Applications menu click Don’t keep activities, so every app will be closed when you decide to close it. You can also limit your background processes in here.
