Installation Method

​

This ROM is Uploaded in a rar file containing various zips(HTC Remix ROM Part1, HTC Remix ROM Part2, Pico 6.0 GAPPS, Dolby Audio, Xposed module,Root)

Step 1: Extract all contents of this Rar file in a folder

Step2:Reboot to Recovery,and perform a wipe(Factory Reset)

Step3:Flash "HTC Remix ROM Part1"-Installation time 4 to 5 min, don't panic if you don't see progress for a while as i said earlier ROM is big in size

Step4:Flash "HTC Remix ROM Part2"-Installation time less than 30 seconds

Step5:Flash "PICO 6.0 GAPPS"-It is important that you install Gapps right now with the ROM and not later or you would face Setupwizard crash loop and First Initialization error,thats why gapps are included inside rar file

Step6: above files MUST be flashed in the order they are mentioned after gapps, flash dolby, root and Xposed

Step7:Reboot..First Android is starting/Upgrading can take upto 7 minutes be patient

A:Go to Settings>apps>play services>permissions>and give all permissions,it would never trouble you again :)

Q:My phone has 8 mp camera,but pis are being clicked@ 6MP??why?

A:That's because by default HTC camera is set to 16:9 ratio for full screen,set the ratio to 4:3 in settings for 8mp pics

Q:My led light is not blinking whats this ??

A:AOSP dosen't have controls to change led color and blink like CM and MIUI ,therefore light flow is added for this,open light flow,give notification access to it,go to its settings>device settings and root>check root mode,give root access and untick Nexus force LED reset, that's it led would blink now..u can set your desired led color from app.

Q:When i open zoe it shows its only available for htc devices ?is it not working?

A:In your htc launher press options button,>hide unhide apps>and hide zoe,it is actually working,it is integrated inside gallery ,open your gallery and click zoe button from there and enjoy making videos

Q:I only get WhatsApp messages when i turn on screen not before that,GF complaining about late replies.. what to do??

Q:Am not getting clock and weather over blinkfeed ??

A:Long press on empty space in homescreen >manage home screen pages>set blinkfeed page as home,done

to view weather go to settings>accounts>htc weather service done...

Q:Weather not determining my location,any solution ??

A:If its not detecting even after adding htc service in accounts then open weather app>settings>auto detect my location >yes, then go to open space,directly under sky ..open gps test app,gps needs to be calibrated once... wait till NO GPS with red icon turns green and shows 3D fix,once you get 3D fix,click options>Update gps>then open weather app and pull down for refresh,done

Q:How to use layers

A:For layers first open busy box rails present in ROM>give root access,and press next,once busy box is installed uninstall busybox on rails or hide it..its no longer needed..now go to layers manager,download themes and enjoy

Q: Does this ROM require custom Recovery and will it void warranty?

A:YES it requires custom Recovery ,its been Tested with CWM,should work with others,and i forgot to mention this above this would void your warranty you, cannot blame me for any mishappening with your device after installing this,its your decision to flash it,but you should be fine if you followed steps as stated above.
