Series III is largely based upon a new look I have created for ELITE. I wanted to go in a direction that’s a little less “themed”
looking, and more like it could have come directly out of the box. My ultimate goal for the evolution of ELITE is a clean, professional look
that Sense UI started to bring to us. I do hope you like it as much as I.

A few remaining apk’s and png’s were optimized, making the ROM smaller in size, have a smoother feel, and handling even faster than its
predecessor. A few suggestions posted by you in the ELITE thread were also implemented in this series. I have themed this heavily upon
the newest version of Android “Honeycomb” while trying to maintain small pieces of Series I & II.

I would like to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart…for all your continued help/support for me and each other. Especially
to the new XDA’ers who are new to flashing, and new to this ROM. What kernel is best for battery life seems to be the most popular subject,
and I appreciate those who give feedback on what is working best for you….in hopes it works best for others.


Thanks again everyone for your amazing support....
