---------☆☆☆MODIFIED BOOT IMG☆☆☆---------

This Rom for now must use the modified boot.img & external SD card should you wish to use either of these roms due to a mounting error somewhere, no app will install despite there being 70mb + on both builds /data partitions so i need to fix, all works perfect with the modified boot.img,

Partition your SD card as follows using Mini partition tool with 2 partitions in this exact order EXT 4 Cannot be first or you will face data decryption error until rectified.

•PRIMARY partition

- FAT32 label it data

•PRIMARY partition

- EXT4 label it mmcblk0p2

To flash with modified boot.img open the scatter file, click on the BOOTIMG file path & select the modified boot.img,

Insert the newly partitioned SD card into the device and flash the firmware using the instructions on how to flash below.
