This rom is AOSP so please forget about custom launcher, with power widget in notifications area, etc and still using ICS for base. Why i am always try ics base rom ? because i think ics base rom more stable then jelly bean base rom. if i finally found the real stable, light, not feel lag at all then maybe i will move to explore jelly bean base rom
Change log (03/04/2013) :

• Excluded WiFi Direct (not GIO compatible feature)
• Excluded camcorder frame interval (not GIO compatible feature)
• Excluded camcorder effects (not GIO compatible feature)
• Increased SMS lenght from 8 to 100 (before converting to MMS)
• Included 800MHz CPU speed
• Re-included some UI sounds
• Adjusted Camera layout
• Usable without SIM card (after 1st boot - as we provide SetupWizard that needs it, not our fault)
• Fixed Bluetooth issues (it broke after RC3)
• Some changes for Dalvik and Battery life
• Fixed Photo Editor (thank to vutaluk1995)
• Fixed WiFi Tethering
• Code updates

after install this rom, the first thing i am doing is configure manually APN setting. i don't know this is provider's mistake or rom's mistake because in previous when i am using cm9 i must configure it too. so i think this is provider's mistake.
this rom so minimal, power button don't have any function, and boot animation still using android's default boot animation. but it not a big problem as long this rom can run smooth and light.
i don't know how but gps for using in google + cannot found location, but in map it can. don't know how to fix it maybe must change gps.conf but i don't know the right settings
