  2. Do you have any problem with my posting a thread about your ROM? Or do you want to do your own posting? I wouldn’t have known your work existed except for goomanager showing it as a compatible ROM. I think the TP community would be glad to hear of your work.

    • I don’t mind people spreading the word. I just want it known that I only take credit for enhancing and combining other peoples’ work in the best way that I can. There seems to be a ‘gray area’ when dealing with Cyanogenmod. 😀

  3. Hope you are still paying attention to this, I discovered your build and wanted to thank you for your work. I was having issues with the CM9 bi-weekly nightlies loosing keyboard and other things (not sure why, probably some app I got busted things) and took a shot using your integration work. I have a stable TouchPad running now which has allowed me to extend the life of my tablet. Since I haven’t seen any updates my fear is that you have moved onto something more interesting. Here is hoping that its a JB version for the touchpad or future goodness in FALCON. If you compile it I will have the confidence to give it a whirl when you say its ready. The donation button linked to something about skittles at AOL so I wasn’t sure I was in the right place – I’d like to contribute towards some diapers or a brew to help you sleep at night drop me an email and let me know where to connect or send it. THANKS AGAIN !!!

    • Skittles is the one. It’s an old email of my wife. I haven’t given much thought to JB for the Touchpad, as ICS has treated me quite well up until now. What advantages are there that you’re looking for in the upgrade?

      • My concern is the potential for missing potential JB only apps like Paranoid Android HALO, although that is probably most valuable with an always connected device. I had popped over to Reverend Kyle’s web site and saw the idiots guide to install CM10 and thought I might wait until you had dipped your toe in the JB waters before I would try it out. Your attention to detail has served me well, particularly with battery life on the FALCON builds. thanks, next time I am out there I will drop in and leave you some skittles coin 🙂

  4. Sir, I have not seen any updates.
    I am using your ROM as Base and using the name as UnFalcon(UnofficialFalcon).
    Sir, could you please reupload the Falcon-v1.4.zip to Goo.im? I can’t see it anymore. I want it for the camera fix
