      True. I installed it on my phone hoping for extensive buttons like in my S3 in the pull down tray of my Ace. But nothing. It’s basically like a different skin for the original interface. Not bad but I hoped for more I guess.

    Worked on mine but it seemed to out-smart my phone and only let me have 4 icons on bottom tray and it was running on Android 2.3.6. Good tips though, thanks. Restoring the Jelly Bean ROM now. Love all these guides, keep them coming!

      Only for rooted devices. You can flash a custom ROM on stock firmware.

      It will delete only the data, such as settings, apps, contacts, messages,etc from the internal storage. No data from the sd card will be damaged.
