Version 3.0 is out now. Lots of changes to be done with for this version. You can flash this on CM10.1 devices now. I tested on stock CM10.1 and it worked fine but I won’t guarantee it’ll work on any CM-based ROMs. Audio quantization is done on extreme level such as superclock frequency (256 times of base frequency) and also support 48KHz for videos. I think 256x is highest possible in existing applications. Speaker is optimized for louder volume but only when xLoud is enabled as some like me prefer original volume without xLoud. I also replaced Cyber-Shot app with volume key capture mod ones for taking underwater shots.
This ROM package works on both global’s stock ROM, DoCoMo’s stock ROM and CM10.1 ROM. For DoCoMo ROM, most of DoCoMo’s added stuff removed and replaced phone features with global ones. You’ll get pretty much like global ROM but with DoCoMo’s SystemUI and Lockscreen.
