Installation instructions (for first-time installation):

First, perform a backup of your existing setup, and then perform a clean install (wipe /data and /system; TWRP is recommended). Next, try flashing the ROM and see if it installs; if it installs without any issues then congratulations! Now just flash a Google apps package, and then reboot.

If you get an error when trying to install ("bacon.verify_trustzone" error), then first you must install/use the latest TWRP recovery (3.2.1-0). Next, download and flash the los 14.1. Then, wipe /system and flash my ROM as the updated firmware is needed by this ROM. After flashing this ROM, flash a Google Apps package, and then reboot.

Installation instructions (for updating to a newer release):

If you are already running this ROM, then you can update to a newer version of the ROM via the built-in OTA updater or by simply dirty-flashing the new ROM build without wiping anything.

HOWEVER, do NOT reinstall Google Apps after installing a new update.
