Hi Vince,
Yeah I was referring to alfsV9a-CM7
Do we need the libsensors patch or 9+ addons is really what I mean..
Or is your rom like Rohin's GZR with addons included?

---

Thanks Vince, a new rom is welcome!
Nice look too..
How does wifi tethering work? I ask because in many other roms it works till screen is on, does it work better on this one?

---

@above - Have you been in Advanced Settings for Wireless?
@Vince - on alfsv9a-CM7 static ip doesn't work..

---

After 1 day of use, battery life is very good and haven't found any bug until this time, good rom
