Use this ROM at your own risk! It comes without any warranty! I'm not responsible for any damage! If you don't agree with that, don't try to flash this ROM in any way.

Benefits:

Added F-Droid and UnifiedNLP! If you don't want this, simply de-install it.

I've set maximum speaker volume to a higher value.

I've increased microphone gain.

I've changed the microfone gain to avoid echo in phone calls.

Troubleshooting:

If you're running into an error, please search in this thread if this error is already posted, before you post it again!

If not, I need a LOG to see what went wrong. Without a LOG I can't help you!

A LOG can be fetched by connecting the device with an USB cable to your PC and then by typing these commands line by line:

adb root
adb shell logcat -b all -d > logcat

Send my this LOG file via PM.

If you think this could be a SELinux related issue, please try to set the device to permissive mode first.

If the issue is gone, I need the policy file too (plus LOG). Fetch it by typing this line in a terminal:

adb pull /sys/fs/selinux/policy

If you stuck in a bootloop you can fetch a LOG with this trick:

Press the power button and the volume up button together until the device shuts down.

HOLD the power button.

Release the volume up button and press the volume down button immediately after releasing the volmue up button.

The device should start into TWRP recovery.

Tap on "Advanced", then on "Terminal" and enter these commands line by line:

cd sys/fs/pstore
cp * /sdcard

Send me the copied file(s), if any, via PM.

One last request:

Please, do not ask about problems for which my ROM is not responsible.

From now on I will only react to problems that I can reproduce and that are caused by my ROM.

I'm sorry for that, but I'm developing this ROM in my spare time and I still have a normal life.
