I'll try to keep this brief. [Edit: I FAILED MISERABLY. I FAILED MISERABLY THREE TIMES. SO I GAVE UP.]

Summary: 4 out of 5 stars would not be uncalled for. There are things I don't like, and those things I don't dislike, I already have in other ROMs so this one isn't one I'm likely to keep (in its current form) simply because I'd have to relearn a few things. However, I see clear benefits in this ROM for other users so it's definitely one I'll peek in on from time to time and in my brief use of this ROM it seems stable enough.

I found in my brief time nothing dysfunctional except the Google Maps Graphic Glitch. The map displays "jerky", bouncing about 1/2 inch high and returning, rapidly and at random intervals. All ROMs I've tried on Jellybean do this, but I don't know if it's a JB issue or something in Google Maps. Every ROM has something that's not quite right, in my experience, and if this is the only issue, this isn't a bad thing.

The closest other thing to "dysfunctional" I found was the on/off slider. for Settings > Location Access > “Access to my location” Slider

Both sides say same thing whether on or off. Should be left side is “off” and right side is “on”, and they simply alternate which one is highlighted. --I think I saw this elsewhere too and I think therefore that it might be systemwide in the graphic files the system uses for this.

I did NOT test e-mail like I generally would have. I have four accounts, one personal, one familial, one for my own business and one for my regular employer (exchange). So it's a bit to set up and honestly I only do that after I decide I'm going to keep the ROM otherwise. Likewise I didn't really test any of the apps. These are apps, they either work or they don't, and generally aren't affected by the ROM.

Something I would LOVE to see is a true LCARS style interface from the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation and its spinoffs, ST: Deep Space Nine and ST: Voyager.

I like the colorized settings icons, but I don't like the launcher icons. They're a little too modern-meets-retro like Windows 8 tiles.

I don't use my phone much but about the first hour on a ROM I spend trying out the camera, Google Maps (with and without GPS), data, and some things I always set up like the power widget. Most ROMs I've tried didn't make it through this hour. If the crashes were random or frequent, I'd do a full-on complete wipe and try again. If no change, the ROM dev shouldn't have published it in that state and I don't come back. If the bugs/crashes were few and easily avoidable, I'd keep the ROM a day and take mental notes. I'd check back every so often, trying out new editions. This ROM I don't have to check back on, it's already pretty solid.

First off, my prior camera issues must have been a lack-of-wipe issue. They went away with full three-tier wipe (data, cache, dalvik).

A lot of the things I was noting about this ROM turned out to be personal preferences, so I won't bore you with those because overall they don't matter. I will say, though, that I prefer the notification bar power widget to the Quick Settings tiles for a number of reasons, mainly that I like the ergonomics of it better.

I don't know what Beats Audio does for this hardware. I know what it is, just not how we would benefit from it. I have no complaints about audio quality with even the stock ROM much less with the JellyKang I've been using, so this is -- just in my opinion, now -- a little gimmicky and meant to sell products, which is kinda pointless in a community where the product has already been purchased. It's like saying you've got HDTV coming into your cable box which is connected to a circa 1994 4:3 CRT console television. That is, unless I'm sorely mistaken about what would in that case be the AWESOME capabilities of this particular platform. But to each his own, if it doesn't cause a slowdown in the performance nor take up too much space, by all means throw it in. :) Although it's just an equalizer, if that link above is credible.

Calls don't sound any different from when I was running JellyKang, and in fact, I even had a fairly garbled call tonight (which was more likely the result of poor signal than poor audio). What does "calls are now more clear" mean then? Compared to what?

XBlast looks interesting. I'l have to look into it more, but for right now, a lot of its features that I saw are duplicated in using CyanogenMOD based ROMs, and many aren't. Many I never would use. Again just a personal preference.

I know what SQLite is, as well as OpenVPN, but not Entropy. What is Entropy? And what is there to support for SQLite? I mean, from an application point of view, you either have SQLite or you don't, so how does the ROM "support" for SQLite change the application that uses it? Are we just talking general performance increases? And does this support negatively affect other performances of the phone?

The Sense5 bits appear to be just bits, correct? If not mistaken this is *not* a Sense ROM. Can you confirm? What is "Holo Sense UI"? I ask because the UI seems no different from the other non-sense ROMs I've used. Except, of course, for the launcher not allowing smooth scrolling through the apps drawer (it only does a page at a time and I don't see an option to change that -- and this is cause enough for me not to keep the ROM, except I can install a [better] launcher like Nova).

Playing with it, looking around, it's interesting. There are things I don't like well enough to move to this as a daily driver, but it appears with one day's admittedly very light usage to be a solid enough ROM (as stated above, most ROMs I've tried didn't make it an hour much less a day).
