Please visit my thread at Android Ice Cream (http://www.androidicecream.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=8&start=20#p70) to download my ROMs.

Note: When you load a new ROM it is always good to do a reboot or battery pull after installing the new ROM. It helps the phone to get everything updated and running properly. When the phone first comes up after a flash, it has a ton of things to do like indexing the SD card, doing app installation cleanup, etc. and it might seem sluggish at first. Give it a little time to settle down and everything should work great for you.

Apps that have been verified as working but could not be added to ROM because a full install is required: Googles, ScanLife, Jackpal Terminal and Shapewriter keyboard.

Please give feedback and let me know what you think.
