A few things to keep in mind:
The ROM will not wipe your data although if you want to wipe data don’t use factory reset from CWM just create a folder called “wipe” in your /sdcard/Darky folder.
If you only want the basic install with lots of the apps not installed create a folder called “no-samsung” inside the /sdcard/Darky folder.
If you don’t want Swype then create a folder called no-swype” in the /sdcard/Darky folder.

Brandon Orndorff I have been interested in Android from the moment the first devices were released. I love the fact that it's such a widely accepted mobile OS and that I can be a large part of the community as a whole.
