Soft keys: framework-res.apk. A boolean value in bools.xml

Different icons: Deleted and moved different apks into /system/app or changed the icon via a custom launcher.

Smart actions is the version that does not let you turn off mobile data when WiFi is on … :-(

Its a little more difficult, but if you set the trigger as the location that your phone reads when connected to WiFi then you can set data off. Works well for me.

Likes: smooth and fast, was able to keep root

Dislikes: need me some OC and status bar hacks, and am already having crackflashing DT's! Also, battery? No verdict yet, and things seems to be ok so far. But Android OS is up to 44% in battery settings, and that has me worried.

Likes:
-New Dock Mode: combined Desk and Bedside, better interface
-AOSP Gallery: the old Motocast Gallery was just awful. I had switched to QuickPic but now I don't need it anymore
-All the Pro's of JB (butter, enhanced notifications, google now, etc)

Dislikes:
-Clock/Alarm is now straight AOSP. We lost "use increasing volume" alarm option and there's no timer integrated into the clock.
-No more Sticky Notes widget (and some other Blur widgets too)

It looks like this release is even more straight AOSP...less customizations to a lot of things, like status bar icons and AOSP apps. That's good for the most part, though some of Blur was actually nice (like the alarm mentioned above). We'll have to see if this is only because this is an accidently released build and if the final build will be more Blurry.

I'll echo all of your likes and dislikes, and add one dislike of my own so far:
  • Now there's a search button at the bottom of the Corporate Mail client, and I have not found an option to remove it.

Go away search button! I have a hard button for you!

Finding that bluetooth text messaging integration isn't working in my car like it did on ICS. Not with Sync, anyway. Anyone else?

Pros-
Battery life's better than stock ics
Buttery smooth
Blue tooth buttons when calling are integrated and working better.
New status bar has better preview of mail and texts.
Google now

Cons-
Random lose of data but I'm going to chalk it up to the fact that it's the holidays and the network is overrun.
Massive battery drain do to over use and excitement of a jb leak that has caused me to not put my phone down since Christmas eve.
Spent less time with family.

Does anybody have an idea on how to show other cards with Google now other than the weather card? I'm sure its easy and I'm over thinking the entire process

Nah, it's the OTA. Soft keys are easy, they're already in the framework-res.apk. You can enable them through the build.prop, and in Jellybean Moto has finally left them alone from stock aosp, aside from the shaded transparent background like in the notification bar.

Icons are stock, that's just the icon for no SIM since my S3 is my main phone . You can change them fairly easily if you want to, but I only ever bother molding to get a stock aosp look, and this already has it. Besides, it can be hit or miss without deodexing first, and I tend to prefer odexed roms. Unless you're referring to the dock, which is just Nova Launcher with a stock JB theme.

All I really did was debloat, do a few basic tweaks like ad blocking, busybox, opendns, etc, change the boot ani, and some performance and usability tweaks through the build.prop and some SQL edits. Oh, and I added notification toggles. Just some basic tweaks and I'm honestly a lot happier than I've been with many roms. Couldn't really ask for much more.

Like it so far EXCEPT phone calls are using the speaker even though I didn't select it and it is not highlighted.

Has anyone tried to delete emails from the trash in Gmail? I highlighted a few emails but there is no option to do a permanent delete. Could have sworn it worked on ICS.

I like the fact that if the screen is on and your using the phone and you get an incoming call you now have to click and slide over to the right to answer the call. I didn't like the way it worked in ICS were you would just have to press a button to answer the call. Thanks to that I've answered quite a few calls that I had no intention of answering haha

Pros - The transparent notification bar.
Getting pretty good battery life.
Very smooth.

Cons - Text message does not have quick reply (can't rememeber if this is just was CM specific)
Google now FC when sound searching.
Long pressing search does not bring up speak to search.
Last but not least, I lost root! (My own fault :angry: )

Everything is butter smooth so far but I do have one issue. When calling to check my voicemail and to put in my pin my dial pad is very echoed and it won't register my numbers. So I tried to call my bank and when I put my numbers again it does the same thing. This is after I restarted my phone.

So far zero issues on my Maxx, Google search/voice search works flawlessly and battery life improved some since Monday night. Not sure if I like Google Now at the moment since the only card that comes up is the weather.

Easy workaround for this: Set up a new "Home" action and name it whatever you want (if you're already using Home). This preset automatically allows mobile data on or off when WiFi is on, unlike the others.
