That'd make sense, I only tried rebooting like five times before I had to run for a class.

As far as CAF is concerned, I feel the not submitting upstream, working extra to write patches which have usually better variants already upstream, seems to be common. All USB changes were dropped when they merged kernel-common into msm-3.18 with no real explanation which has been an annoyance more than once during merging -stable in my fork of msm-3.18. While I understand their situation of maintaining upwards of 5 million lines of code not upstream, it still feels sloppy to not merge stable updates and do extra work instead. /* End rant */
