Shri iPad, you have hit the nail on the head. I am using Darky 3.1 since the hour it was launched (yes, I like doing that) and JUST now I installed Speedmod. MAN, what an 'effin beauty she's running like!
For people who thought Abyss note was a KILLER kernel, wait till you flash that gorgeous Speedmod. All Lags, all hiccups, GONE!
Flash it, you will not regret it.
As for Darky 3.1, yes, this IS the ROM. Sends Rocket and Criskelo and Romow for a toss!
EDIT: Only thing I am going to miss is the VOODOO LOUDER app, which currently only works on Abyss. I have paid 50 bucks for that app. LOL. But yes, I don't use my earphones much. I have AKG buds, which are sensitive enough to play well at medium to high volumes on the note.
