Thank you!!!

Just a fair warning, not trying to sound like a you know what, but no Xposed-related comments in this thread. If anyone wishes to post a new thread in General for what Xposed experiences they have under Lollipop, that would be a good idea.

Instructions to flash:

0. If you haven't previously updated TWRP to the latest version (v2.8.7.0 still as of January 3rd, 2016), do so by:

0A. Download TWRP v2.8.7.0 from http://xdaforums.com/lg-g-pad-83/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-t3150812

Credit and thanks [MENTION=4218641]AndroidUser00110001[/MENTION] !

0B. (in TWRP v2.7.0.1) choosing "Install", navigating to where you downloaded the TWRP v2.8.7.0 zip (probably in internal storage in the Download folder), and choosing to flash the zip.​

1. Download my ROM from my section on Android File Host at https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=32160. I use ADM "Advanced Download Manager" from the Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dv.adm&hl=en, especially for downloading larger files like ROMs.

2. Check the MD5 Hash of the ROM zip:

2A. Copy (to the clipboard) the MD5 hash that I have in the filename of the ROM zip you downloaded in step 1 above.

2B. Install [MENTION=2693923]scary alien[/MENTION] 's "AFV File Verifier for Android" from the Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sa.afvx&hl=en.

2C. Run the AFV app.

2D. Choose "Input checksum for comparison".

2E. Paste the MD5 hash previously copied to the clipboard in step 2A above.

2F. Choose "Select File".

2G. Navigate to where you have the ROM zip.

2H. Long-press on the ROM zip and choose "Calc MD5 Checksum".

2I. When it's done calculating the MD5 hash of the ROM zip, it'll automatically compare it to the MD5 hash you pasted in step 2E above.

If the hashes match, the downloaded ROM zip is non-corrupt. If the hashes don't match, you have to re-download the ROM zip.​

3. Optionally download one or more of my debloat zip files in the third post below. If you don't flash my "no OTA" debloat zip, then don't take any OTAs you get offered if there are ever any more, or you might get soft bricked, which I won't go into recovering from here.

4. (Not needed for 24A KitKat 4.4.2 pre-rooted ROM) Download the latest non-beta SuperSU zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu (XDA thread with this link at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053) or the latest Beta version from a link in [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] 's thread at http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133.

5. Copy/move anything you want to keep from internal storage like the files you downloaded in the previous sections.

6. I strongly suggest wiping everything from TWRP (Data, Cache, System, Dalvik and Internal Storage). Wiping all of these things, especially if you use my debloat zip(s) will clear up garbage/folders that were left behind by previous bloat.

7. Flash my ROM.

8. (Not needed for 24A KitKat 4.4.2 pre-rooted ROM) Flash SuperSU.zip (downloaded in step 4 above). This step is VERY IMPORTANT on 35A Lollipop 5.0.2 and above if you want to get back into custom recovery without having to re-flash a stock ROM and go through the whole process again.

9. Optionally flash one or more of my debloat zip files. If you don't flash my "no OTA" debloat zip, then don't take any OTAs you get offered if there are ever any more, or you might get soft bricked, which I won't go into recovering from here.

Flashing the debloat zip(s) before the first boot of the ROM will give the advantage of never having the data/cache entries or internal storage folders for the debloated apps created, the latter is why I recommend a wipe of internal storage.

In order to get back into TWRP/custom recovery from rooted Lollipop 35A 5.0.2 or above ROMs (not needed for 24A KitKat 4.4.2 pre-rooted ROM):

1. Download the corresponding "aboot only" (aboot is the bootloader) found in the same place to download as my ROM zip. Corresponding means if you installed the latest 36B VK810 stock ROM, then download the 36B VK810 aboot zip file.

2. Download the 4.2.2 aboot package from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54533937&postcount=2

Credit and thanks [MENTION=1649356]paperWastage[/MENTION] !

The download link is about three quarters down in that second post.

3. Move this aboot.4.2.2.img file into the top of the internal storage (meaning, not in a folder).

4. In Terminal Emulator type (make sure no typos, or can copy/paste to be sure):

su

dd if=/sdcard/aboot.4.2.2.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot

5. You can now reboot into recovery via your preferred method.

6. Once you're finished in TWRP, you need to re-flash the newer aboot zip downloaded in step 1 above. If you forget, the ROM won't boot. You should be able to long-press the power button to force the device off, then use the manual method to get back into TWRP mentioned in step 22 in the previous section above. Re-flash the newer aboot zip, then reboot from TWRP and the ROM will boot.

You can alternatively dirty flash my ROM zip instead of just the aboot. You'd have to re-flash SuperSU.zip, any debloat zips and Xposed if you had before, too.
