well i would like to see some stuff if it's possible (and assuming i will be able to unlock my phone at some point)..
1. ability to add/remove homescreens or at least have seven of them (and maybe the Carusel from Sense) 2. ability to add widgets/apks by long pressing on the homescreen (not just wallpapers) 3. remove the stupid sdcard notification 4. add a % icon next to the battery 5. ability to switch the font color of the notification bar (never liked the blue i would prefer the original green from previous versions) 6. fix the smart charge the way it was before the JB update 7. fix the WiFi issue and improve overall reception 8. a few widgets from an HTC Sense rom (at least the music player, calculator and weather/time), the ones that were on the Sense 3.5 were amazing.. don't know if they still are on later versions.. 9. the music player apk from Sense 3.5 10. a fix for the native SMS apk. for us who use non-unicode characters (like Greek) we get limited to 70 characters only, so we have to use a third party apk like handsent sms 11. i also would like to see a option in the settings where you can chose the function of the recent apk button between recent/menu, OR the addition of a fourth navigation key (say like "HOME, RECENT/MENU, BACK, SETTINGS" or "HOME, MENU, BACK, RECENT")
do you think (thinking of the worst case scenario here were i won't ever be able to unlock my phone)that this custom rom can be fixed to install like an official rom even if you don't have a custom recovery?
AND i found this somewhere. someone made an apk of it, it's the weather/time widget from PF2. it installs just fine but when you click on it and expands you don't see the all of it, propably because of the resolution difference with the PF2 screen. maybe add scrolling function or resizing it..?

You will need a custom recovery to install this rom, so you need to unlock your phone ... If it was possible, why did we wait for Asus to release a bootloader unlock tool ? Why can't you unlock it ?
they fucked up a the repair center where they replaced my M/B a while back.. i now have a different IMEI and since then i can't recieve OTA's and can't apply the tool.. they obviously didn't update the ASUS servers for the change OR they didn't rewrote my original IMEI on the new M/B OR something! so i am screwed ATM! already contacted them, and there is a guy in the call center that is trying to see if something can be done without having to sent the phone abroad AGAIN!

Wow, didn't know it could be a problem... I don't think you will be able to do it without sending it again :S, but I'm maybe wrong...
the thing is that i also have a new IMEI sticker on the backplate under the battery, so what i suspect is that the procedure is to just update the servers with the new number and not to rewrite the hardcoded IMEI on the M/B.. but the response he got from the repair center was that i had to sent it again.. i think they chose to respond this just to cover their mistake, and blame it on something else even though that would cost to ASUS another M/B... go figure..
the guy told that he also contacted Taiwan directly about this, see what they will say..

It doesn't cost much for them to change the MB Exactly the same thing with computer parts... You pay 600$ for something, and when it's broken, you send them, they destroy it and send a new one for you... In my company, we use this system a bit too much. We ask for a replacement on HDD (1to for example), and send them an old 80gb one. They don't check the package...
Hey, I noticed that there's no garmin navigation in this. That is truly not a bloatware in Taiwan where abundant padfones exist.
that is not really an issue.. you could just install Navigon which would cost you less than 1Gb in space instead of 2Gb that Garmin uses..

and prepare a WW based one asap
i think that for us interested in the WWE version, you should use the HK version. it's basically the same as the WWE (without Garmin) but it has a slightly higher version number (10.2.1.11), so maybe it's somewhat improved compared to the WWE one..

I tested the HK and WW, but there is no noticeable difference except the WW seems a bit cleaner, I will do a rom for each base, this way everyone will choose what he need.

V1.01 Garmin Edition is being uploaded, only minor change has been made since the V1
Are you still making that to do list forward? Or are this final ROM?
The to do list is separated in two colors : Green = Done Blue = To be done I'm still and will always be looking for features to implement in my ROM if you have any idea
I will install this ROM as soon as v1.01 is available for download. Regarding launcher I prefer NOVA launcher since this one is fast and stable.
You also asked for features. IMO it is most important to have a very fast and stable system without to much stuff most people do not need, like unnecessary features and of course bloatware.
For me as a layperson it seems more difficult to build up a custom ROM from the scratch than "just" porting CM10.1 to our device. What is the reason for this extra effort?
