Faulty Aroma updater script

Will try this, 5 min till downloaded. What's the changelog compared to stock? build.prop tweaks, removed bloat, root etc., I'd guess. Does it have UI mods or something like that? Could provide a CM9 style statusbar... If you'd want that.
That's the statusbarmod down below this
Edit: IT WORKS! note to everyone
actually good i did that. Got a cwm backup in the progress and also flashed InfinitySoundXperience. Here's the CM9 STYLE (close but not the real one): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32346437&postcount=2
I see a lot of bloat around, you should delete them so the user wouldn't have to manually do so. Still waiting for changelog.
P.S.
hmm... can't get root to work will try bin4ry's method
P.P.S.
It works now

Cool, please provide the CM9 Statusbar.
This is a early beta... tweaks are on their way once the rom itself is stable!

Nice work. Will test it when I have my laptop back. Currently I only have my netbook that runs Ubuntu. Does fastboot work with linux?

u flashed the InfinitySoundXperience. from GB Cwm???

Yes, I did it after flashing the rom and before flashing the kernel. You can also just flash a GB recovery (e.g. u.elf) and then CWM flash any ics file that you think would work (Xperia P stuff) and then flash stock (kernel) back so you can actually boot. A working CWM, that you can't use anywhere but have to be home/ at a computer. Everyone take a note of this. And yes, InfinitysoundXperience works, not much effect though as the ics already updated the sound a lot.

Hi
I installed the rom and it works ok so far.
Found a big problem - I can't download or update apps from google play store...
There is also a problem with battery drain...
Any ideas?
