[Nexus 5 Android Development] Shawn5162:
Introduction:

Welcome to PhotonAOSP! Photon AOSP is a lightweight, performance/feature packed AOSP based ROM for the Nexus family of devices. The goal of this ROM and Project PhotonAOSP as a whole is to take AOSP and modify it with useful and important features that everyone loves and uses daily. Note that this ROM will never have as many features as BlissPOP, PureNexus, Pac-man ROM, etc. but will only contain necessary features such as ones found in Omnirom, Chroma, etc. PhotonAOSP delivers (and will always continue to do so) the latest AOSP source code with Google's latest security patches.

Instructions for Installation:

Download latest ROM build

Reboot into TWRP

Make backup (optional)

Wipe Data/Cache/System and Factory reset (if coming from another ROM)
