Not open for further replies.
I thought I would share my personal ROM with you all. It's rock solid, I made it to be light and fast. It's based on B08C.



Features and Improvements:

-Root
-Everything up to date
-The amazing Glitch OC kernel (thx to downthemachine)
-Zram
-Flashlight fix
-Deodexed
-Google proxy servers
-init.d support
-ThrottleService removed
-Extended shutdown menu
-Automatic zipalign
-Common system changes pre-configured
-Launcher Pro
-De-branded
-ALSA!
-XLoud audio system
-Beats Audio
-AOSP Mms app
-Stock tethering menu added to Settings (USB only for now)
-User Agent switching added to Browser
-QuickSettings toggles (thx to MrBoBo)
-Swipe to dismiss notifications
-Better data fix
-WVGA@12Mbps mod added to camera (using H264 under custom)
-Working WiFi tether app added.
-CPU rendering disabled
-Swype keyboard
-Boot image/animation

I've also included a version without Beats/XLoud/ALSA for those who wanted it.


Installation:
1-
2-Reboot to recovery
3-Make a backup
4-Format Dalvik Cache and Data (Only dalvik cache if updating)
5-Flash via recovery
6-Reboot and enjoy!!

Please take note that on the first boot it might be unresponsive for the first 30 seconds or so once you get to the homescreen while it runs through some post-install scripts. Sorry, it only happens the one time. After that the speed more than makes up for the inconvenience.. :)

I also want to say thank you to hroark13, shinru2004, downthemachine, and all the other developers. After working on this for the last month or so I can say it is very hard keeping things stable while adding features. You all have turned this phone into a monster.
