  13. I installed this but it seems to have the same issues I have when I installed the lastest oficial ROM from Pipo, I use an external keyboard and it stops working when the tablet goes to sleep mode, same thing with wifi, I set the wifi to be always on but when the screen goes to sleep mode I can't recieve any message and video calls, only when the screen is on.

  16. For a test build the ROM is great. Yes there are issues with Wi-Fi turning off and the sound is lower than with other ROMS from OMA, hoping that this is fixed in the final version. However on the whole it is a great start and cannot wait to see how the final version will turn out. Thanks for all your hard work on this.

  28. Does Jelly Bean address the Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot issue? I don't know about the rest of you but every time I enable it in the Wi-Fi settings, it shuts Wi-Fi off and then it says turning Wi-Fi back on, but it never turns back on. Tried several things including changing to open access, WPA, etc. Can anyone sheds some light on this? Thanks
