Known issues in v2.0:

- Initially 'Long press home key' does nothing (you have to go to Settings / Carbon Fibers / Buttons and 'Enable custom actions' -> configure home with 'Recents')

- Noticeably higher battery consumption as in older ROM versions

- Everything else should work, if not please let me know

* Increase ui responsiveness (credits CM)
