This thing is pretty dang debloated. The only ROMs I've seen with less were CM builds. You can debloat and freeze with TiBU or similar apps. Like Tim said, his BlackWhite theme blacks out PlayStore and several other apps. For others, I also use inverted apps by BBoy. These can easily be found on his website or XDA. My FB, Instagram, Chrome all get inverted.
I also dug around the internet for quite a while and couldn't find anything specifically talking about the debugging issue. Just to be sure I wasn't losing my mind, I restored my backed up Rage ROM and debugging worked as advertised. :
Hmm, Thats good to know about RAGE. Maybe I will get BDH to take a look at what I have and see whats different! I still haven't given up on you guys. I think I have the rotation issue fixed. Now back to usb debugging.
