Overview
For all us n00bs out there, this ROM is a collection of my favorite mods/changes along with a light theming to de-uglify some of the eyesores that shipped stock on this phone.
My goals for the ROM are stability, a small footprint and a clean look & feel. See next post for specs, removed apps etc, and post three for tips/tricks.
This ROM can be flashed straight from stock, unrooted and without CWM recovery!!!!!
Well, they don't hate it...
Here's what people are saying:
"Back home where I belong. Rom wise, Apt wise.
The storm is over, Phone wise, Weather wise.
Done with the Flashing an Splashing.
No more Testing. Time for Nesting.
Sorry I ever Left this great Rom!!
Cause it truly is the BOMB!!!" -LilBit
"This is the first time I install and since then I haven't had any random reboots I love your rom." - TyRantxHD
"Mr. Bobo awesome work. My phone is running so much better. And now with the optional custom Kernal update my phone is moving at warp speed! Love it. Thanks." - tatiniumzte
This is an unreal ROM. I cannot believe how fast this made my phone. Tested everything before installing my apps, no problems so far. Great Work!!! - esparks004
...and many many more, you guys make it all worth the time and effort!
