The Power of Productivity

​

Photon ROM 6.5 is modified Official/Stock ROM of HTC Diamond2/Topaz with “Newer Stable Builds” and “Fast UI” which is very close to Stock ROM + No Fancy.

I have designed this ROM for my own use, but wanted to share this to other friends who like the same "Concept for ROM".

My Concept for ROM:

Stable Build

+

Latest Packages

+

Fast UI

+

Good Battery Power

+

No Fancy!
