[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Almite:
I'm proud to present...​

​

This ROM is based off AOSP & CyanogenMod with a few cherry-picks from SlimRoms, OmniROM and ChaOS.

ROM is built with latest Linaro 4.8, Alpine Kernel is basically CM with the Sweep to Wake feature. Source Code found here.

What's different from CM?, I've removed CM's Stats, Account and Updater.
