Now why wouldn't those apps be on your nexus with HDR? :erm:

Errr ... actually a good question. I use the S2 as a remote trigger (wi-fi or cable) with my Canon 6D. There are some light meters and depth of field calculator apps I am trying out. And The S2 is good enough for that. I don't use the S2 itself to take pics. It's low light capabilities doesn't come close to the N5 anyway

My GS2 went bonkers the other day, GPS stopped working and tried to rollback to an earlier CM11 release which just buggered it even more.
Reloaded stock 4.1.2 for now but don't know how long I can last with it, managed to get Google Now launcher installed at least which already helps a ton.

GPS is a super slow to fix (30 sec+ indoors), but at least it's working again.

Lol, couldn't handle the stock rom - it's so slow, ugly and a battery hog. Just reflashed CM11 and everything is working again. I think using a combination of CMdelta updates and flashing the full CM roms confused my phone a bit.
Back, rocking CM

I'm using the nightlies which are pretty stable, although every now and then you'll get a bad one but they work fine for my daily driver.
CM10 is Jellybean, CM11 is Kit Kat. I haven't used 10 much lately so can't comment on it really, all I can say is that Kit Kat is a big improvement with regards to smoothness of the overall experience.

I'm loving the new CM11 theme chooser. There are a very limited amount of new themepacks available though but apparently there is going to be a theme store soon.
You can change everything from styles, fonts, icons and even the bootloader animation. Busy rocking the DarkUI Basic Edition theme and it's beautiful. Check it out here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=test.thyrus.darkuinte
In love

You need to give WizzedKAT more respeckt.
It's the Bee's knees.
It feels slow compared to NeatROM ...
EDIT: Hell no I couldn't take one more minute of that rom. It is slow and not smooth at all.

No ... unfortunately not (That is if the "he" reference is actually me)
My impressions
I found the look and layout very nice indeed.
I like the integration of the notification bar with the wallpaper very nice (bit of a colour difference because of years of LED burn - but acceptable nonetheless
I am not sure if I like the System settings layout, but it is the same on other Sammy devices
The opening of apps are slow
The screen transitions are not smooth in the least (felt like I am back on GB the phone came out with)
Opening the app drawer is not quick either
The pull-down notifications messes around with the shut off button
... and other problems.
I am glad I made a nandroid backup of NeatROM. Restored it and happy again!
