Q: xxx apps are not working with ART

Q: apps that uses camera doesn't work (barcode scanner, skype, etc), is there a fix?

A: this is reportedly working for some but it caused my phone to lag, try at your own risk. Go to build.prop, locate debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=3 and change it to debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=2 , this should work as a temporary workaround until Rayman fix it

Q: how can i help Rayman? Does he accept donation?

A: currently he doesn't accept donation, but he might need it when he goes to university, if you want to donate to him, keep an eye on that :)

If you are a developer, you can help him fixing bugs and improving the ROM, his sorce are on github, https://github.com/OpenSEMC

If you are not a developer but still wish to help, grab a logcat whenever you encounter a bug, it will help a lot.

Feel free to pm me for any addition/correction, this is all based on what i have in mind right now so the list might get longer or shorter with the ROM's improvement :)

This post does not stand for what the OP's point nor Rayman's though, it is purely base on what i have in mind, hope it doesn't create any confusion.
