Mine too, even though I have not been that happy about the direction it's been going lately, after all these years I still cant find distribution that could even match it. I dreamed of it on a phone too, that's why I started this whole thing here

Now, I already did a kernel build with dm/crypto modules, have not had time to test it out yet though. There are few other stuff I also need to include, before packaging it.

It already is the best phone ever, Alarm just increases it's awesomeness to insane levels Any contribution is very welcome.

Yeah, I'm aware of that, I already had to move other stuff in there causing traffic to elsewhere. I think there are something like 5 users in total so I don't think we're hitting that limit just yet, and I've tried to keep updates at minimum (no new kernel if there are no notable changes, etc). Obviously if the user base grows this will become an issue.
