1. CWM Flashable FL16 Pure Stock ROM (Odexed) - can be used with Data Wipe or No Data Wipe - Mirror

2. CWM Flashable FL16 Pure Stock ROM (Deodexed apk) - only apk files deodexed - I don't think you need this.

How to Flash?

Before flashing this ROM, be sure that you have a nandroid backup available or make a new nandroid backup. Flash this ROM at your own risk, I'm not responsible for any damages on your phone!

The steps are same as other ROMs. You'll need a CWM recovery kernel to flash this ROM and after flashing this ROM, you will lose the CWM recovery kernel because this ROM replace the CWM recovery kernel with stock FL16 kernel.

You will also need to flash the FL16 modem zip file (separate link provided) while flashing this ROM. Or you can flash it separately.

No Data Wipe - if you want to keep your current manually installed non-stock apps, do not wipe the data partition. You would be able to use your old configuration in most cases. I used this option to upgrade my previous rom to FL16. No issues found.

Data Wipe/Factory reset - it's also ok doing factory reset or wiping data partition using CWM recovery tool before flashing this ROM if you want to do a clean install. There's no reboot nor force closing issue found.

Kobridge's System App Backup & Recovery Tool - Advanced users only

Note: Incorrect use of this tool would cause a bootloop. When this tool recovers system apps, it first deletes all system apps. So, after the recovery, all system setting values are set to default.

System App Backup from CWM recovery: This tool makes backup of your system apps from /system/app and /preload/symlink/system/app folders.

You can use this tool whenever you makes the nandroid backup, flashed new kernel or you have the system app changes. If something goes wrong with system app, you can use this backup to recover the system apps. This would be a very convenient tool for most of users because to recover the system app, we may spend lots of time - recover the system using ROM, nandroid backup and make the changes again, etc.

System App recovery tool: After you make the backup of your system apps using my system app backup tool, you can simply use this recovery tool from CWM recovery. It will restore the all system apps based on the backup data. This tool recovers the system apps from /sdcard/backup/system and /sdcard/backup/preload folders.

Benefits using Kobridge's System App Backup/Recovery tool

-

you don't need to flash the bloatware remover or manually remove the system apps after flashing the rom. You can simply use this tool to go back to previous status.

If system does not boot with system app issue, just simply odin the recovery kernel and flash the backed up system apps using recovery tool. Flash the original kernel and reboot. Your phone will boot without doing everything again!

After the recovery, all system settings moves back to factory default - clean up effect

After the recovery, all system data stored in /data/data folder cleaned up and any garbages removed!

without wiping data partition, you can get the same effects for the system apps.
