IMPORTANT UPDATE: RISK OF HARD BRICK WITH THIS ROM DO NOT FLASH AT PRESENT UNLESS YOU'RE OK WITH THAT POSSIBILITY. This risk is unpredictable and can happen even if you do everything right - details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648542

I flashed mine from ICS leak repack before the warning went out and seem to have gotten away with it, but I think at the moment the only safe advice is to wait it out a bit longer.

NZtechfreak, did you root the LPY ICS? I was given LPL version a few weeks ago, but didn't like it without root, so went back to GB (also couple of minor features was missing/not working). Looks like the current problems are mostly with CWM and root, will take your advice and wait a few more days :)
