10) Done.

I understand you may not like the ROM, but I have put over 40 hours of work into it so, feel free to voice your concern, just be respectful to me and other forum members :)

Also, if you want to use a CPU controller, I recommend CPU Tuner! It works the best for this ROM.

Bugs:

-Force close on notification swipe away

As a side note, to all of you that want to be able to develop your own Android ROMs, it’s not impossible! Feel free to message me for info on getting started! Please keep posts relevant to ROM though, thanks :D
