I will help those that need support to the best of my knowledge

I will NOT take any ownership if your mobile smacks you in the face or you suffer data loss

.: HISTORY :.

Wanted to share my works with the community and give something back

Lots of crashing, rebooting and failed installs to reach a stable working ROM

Using a MAC made the work even harder to compile, but well worth it!!!

​

The attached zip file is for members that already have the .207 Rom installed and wish to update to v2

Update .207 Rom to v2 - Place the below file on your SDCard and flash from recovery

Full details of .207 v2 and the changes can be found here​
