Thanks for the updated ROM,
so far been very stable, everything seems to be working, will really test it out this weekend.
Have to say think it is quicker than the stock 4.2 rom that came with the device.
Mx player complaining about the OS version but it seem to be MX player issue.Â
thanks again
cheers
