Disclaimer:

Please be aware this is an unofficial release.

If you rely on your device as it is your only phone you should thoroughly consider the risks involved when flashing a custom ROM (e.g. total loss of your data!).

If you decide for flashing this rom, then you do it at your own risk and I am not responsible for any resulting damages!

I don't claim responsibility for the code in this ROM, I have only built the ROM for this device.
