This is an unofficial build of CM13.0.

This is an attempt to stay close to official cm13.0 and not make crazy hacks to make things working.

This is a pure CM build, only contains official CM features. I will not add any other external feature/app/etc.

WARNING: This ROM uses a modified internal memory layout.

Our /system partition is originally 400MB but this space is not enough for a fluid experience and a full installation with proper google apps.

The internal storage has been repartitioned to give the whole space to /system & /cache. Your SD card will be used as the /data partition and emulated media storage like all modern devices.

Partition your SD card with exactly 1 partition. ALL DATA WILL BE LOST. Backup anything you need.

Basically, you need a normal SD card; if you repartitioned for Lollipop, you must revert that.

Format to F2FS or ext4 (F2FS is the new standard), or

if the partition is unformatted or FAT32, then it will automatically be formatted with F2FS later.

You can use Partition Wizard (Win) or GParted (Linux).

If you want to use this ROM you will always have to use the included kernel or use a kernel that includes the layour changes. Bug reports with non-standard kernels will be ignored.

You will have to wipe the device and make a clean install.

You cannot restore nandroid backups from previous android versions or restore backups from this ROM to other ROMs that don't use the new partition layout since you risk corrupting the data.

I suggest to use Titanium Backup, Helium or any other similar app to backup your data if you really need to.

Requirements:

* Have the stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587 full ftf flashed (doesn't matter if you have flashed it in the past or if you flash it before installing cm13.0, it will work both ways)

* LT15i (Arc) users need to flash LT18i (Arc S) ftf

* MT15i (Neo) users need to flash MT11i (Neo V) ftf

* You need a fast SD card with good random read/write (usually class 10 or higher).

Steps required for correct installation (order is important):

1: Flash boot.img in fastboot & reboot into recovery

2 (optional): If the device is not booting, reboot to bootloader again and run:

fastboot erase system

3: Enter recovery

4: Format /system, then /data and then /cache (Important step!)

5: Flash update zip

6: Flash gapps

You need to flash gapps before booting into the ROM for the first time, else critical permissions will not be granted and you will have constant crashes, requiring a factory reset.

Steps 2, 4, 6 are not needed when you install new LX build on top of an older one in the future

If you want to return to a ROM that doesn't use the new partition layout, you need to follow the above steps again (only replace boot.img & update zip with the ones you want to use).
