Disclaimer

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot.

​

Some personal thoughts:

-consider this as a beta release for testing and improving the things;

- you should read at least install instructions stated in this post - i won`t offer support for any issues regarding installation;

- bug reports without device variant and logs can't be considered bugs - make sure you provide detailed info when reporting bugs;

- press 'Thanks' button instead of saying it - it will keep the thread clean and keep me motivated to do more;

- feel free to donate to me if you want to support my work;

- if you take any of my work without my permission i'll report you, and you'll probably get banned.

How about bugs?

This is a port rom so expect some bugs due to the fact that all features and mods including in this rom are supposed to be running on a device with a different hardware structure. However i tried to fix most of the issues and provide a rom for daily use.

Major issues for your info:

camera focus from time to time

NFC (on A500F it works, testers reported not working)

BLF not working

Hard keys light

test and report

Things that will never work and i won`t bother to fix:

VoLTE

VoWIFI

FMRadio

Native blur
