Seems like you're having recovery issues because this rom doesn't flash a stock recovery.

I don't know, others are able to install the rom just fine. At this point we're just repeating the same stuff and getting nowhere. I suggest looking around for another rom and see if you have better luck with it. Remember I don't own this phone so I can't really help much more.

Good luck

Make a backup, wipe all data, flash rom, reboot. Make sure you wipe before flashing, not after. Otherwise try a different recovery like TWRP, it must be the recovery if it still doesn't work.

Really like the ROM, but it only finds the front facing camera. Would obviously like to still use the rear facing camera for pictures. Is there any setting that I cam missing?
The camera should work, it works fine for me. Try reflashing the rom, this is not an issue that should happen.

After going over the very simple instructions I noticed that it says updated busybox binary, Do you still download busybox off playstore? Or is the binary included without the need for playstores?
If it says busybox updated, why would you install it again :p Busybox and SuperSU come installed with this rom, you shouldn't have to worry about it.

This ROM deffinetly works bro I had alot of unecessary trouble myself due to not following directions. You dont have to do this but since youre having trouble take youre SD card out and check each box in Advanced wipe section and slide the factory reset slider button at bottom of recovery page inside TWRP. I assume youre using TWRP if not then Philz, CMW whatever youre using same deal. If you wipe completely and correctly you are going to have to allow SuperSU rights to take again from inside youre custom recovery, I recomend lte recovery by Hroark13 hope I spelled that right.

Try to read, read, read, these guys know what works and dont so if they say it works for them and others than youre not doing somthing right PERIOD. dont feel bad man I messed up alot at first and still have questions but more than likely youre questions have been answered already, search the forums. These guys are repeating themselves alot due to ppl jumpin in to ROM's without reading up on the proper proceedures.

Since you're having an issue with recovery head over to the recovery thread and trouble shoot your issue there. We have gone back and forth plenty on this thread trying to get your issue resolved to no success. There's no point in repeating the same stuff over and over. The way to install the rom is not gonna change... You do a full wipe and then flash the rom as per the instructions already listed.

GameTheory, I just want to say that I installed your rom with the Freedom kernel (overclocked). After I had massive battery-drain, I chose to install WakeLock Terminator and added filters to Google Play Services. All problems fixed.

The phone has worked wonderfully. I get an average battery life of 20 hours and it's very fast. Thank you for your hard work!
