Bugs and issues

-- If too many notices on status bar then will overlap centered clock

-- Even though Sansation font was created for multi-language support and complex writting, you may experience some weird characters FIXED

-- Sometimes when pressing search in Play Store or address bar on browser, app dissapears and only keyboard shows. If you start typing app will appear again

-- Low screen backlight when booting phone but brightness gets back to normal level after a few secs. It's a FireKernel issue and maybe this was done to save battery

-- On 16.06.12 update torch is working but not in status bar as a power widget.
