There are a few threads on here about flashing the JB FW on the ALP but I believe you don't really end up without issues.

The ALP's last few firmwares have been mostly about expanding Language support. The big improvement was FW 20g which brought the ALP almost at the same level as the regular JB. So if you have FW 20g installed you are at the same level of fuctionality as the JB minus the dictionary and the language translation dictionary.

A note about the JB dictionary. Although it sounds great it is really missing a lot of words. It appears that they sacrificed content to allow for multi language support.
It doesn't work with all the ebook formats as well. I would have preferred having the option of downloading a fW version that supports my language of choice with a more complete dictionary.
