---

Yes use rage kernel ics

---

what about back button to kill app? is this option in this rom? or maybe i could do it somehow ?

---

Could you please add Xperia Home? Because I think it's better than Apex. You could add both of them and leave us the choice

I minus one since xperia Home would be a bit slower and I think the Apex launcher implementation gives this ROM its uniqueness in a sense but maybe the developer should do a poll

Hello, sorry, a noob question.
If it had been tested on stock kernel, does this mean that I can use this on locked bootloader?

Flash ICS and then flash this rom. Because you need ics kernel.

Report
After 3 Days of using this ROM i can now say that this maybe THE Fastest And Stable ICS ROM i've used so far, there is a right amount of build.prop tweaks, very very nice init.d tweaks are MINIMAL ( Favorite Part ) Bloatware. All possible while maintaining .587 Sony Stock ROM with a smart inclusion of Apex Launcher, which is pivotal to this ROM's Uniqueness.I also noticed that scrolling speed is bleeding fast it truly is project butter standards BY FAR. I Hope that the developer of this ROM doesn't succumb to peer pressure and add any bloatware :fingers-crossed:
Pros: Very Stable, Well Put, FAST, Relatively nice for games, APEX LAUNCHER INSTEAD OF SONY HOME IN STOCK ROM FTW
Cons: May Not have all the shiny bells and wistles that came with Stock ( ftf.) Sony ROM, May be too fast for your eyes :good:
Note: ROM used with Kernel Panic By Slade87

---

Which is the recommended kernel to use with this rom? I'm tempted to try this rom
