Hi Tragidy,

Is there a way that we can enable the support for 3G Dongles?
I have just flashed my ELF II with your Rom.
I like the performance. But, I hope it can support 3G Dongles.

Certainly,

As this rom is 100% modular we can enable 3g with a package.

Tragidy ,

which one is the best Light Elf 3.0 Jellybean Beta or 2.5 ? for battery life and speed (antutu score of Light Elf 3.0 Jellybean beta?)

Thanks

That will be users preference, but the bottom line will remain that 4.0 ROMS will become obsolete over time.

I have no idea, the gapps flashes fine when I test it, you flash rom then gapps then reboot do not wipe data after flashing gapps.
yea i don't wipe after iv'e installed the rom, but nothings changed, but is there a way to maby add the gapps into the rom, chause that might help

The apps will never be added to this rom from 2.4-DEV to 3.0-DEV everything is modular if you do not like this then simply do not use my work.

just wandering what is the advantage of it being modular? Chause i dont see any advantages at all, i guess evetybody will need the playstore and sutch so why not just include theme?

----
fixed it some how, but i still wonder what the advantages are

Rom scores higher without Google also some people don't use gapps at all hence modular keeping the rom for all fast and stable and keeping problems from other mods out of the base.

Anyway use it or do not use it makes no difference to me.

There will be an updated gapps pack coming later to offer more flexibility and include some of the futuristic Google software layers, I usually let other parties deal with apps and so on however I shall intervene to keep it up to date with the latest XDA mods!
