I was looking around on XDA and stumbled across this:

Don't have much time right now so I just put together a quick rom without much tweaking and it didnt work too well, kept saying tap here to run touchflo, then say launching touchflo, then back and forth and would never start.

I might mess with it more tomorrow. Just throwing this out there for you guys

And what advantages, if any, does it have?

Don't really think there are many advantages really besides the stock tab and the 5 day weather forecast

the tab switching is much much faster as well as the pop-up menus. very worth it when its totally done

there are directions there for a reason.... 1. tap start tflo, 2. hit the right softkey for contacts and tap to open soft keyboard, 3. wait until contacts next to start menu icon (top left) turns back to start, 4. return to home screen and use. OP even said it doesnt autostart yet and is just a first beta.

it also comes with a built in settings feature where you can reorder the tabs as you wish from what i can tell in the pics on xda

If you read the post you replied to with that ^ you will see that I posted it before the cabs were out, only the OEMs were available and didn't work too well in a quick thrown together rom
