NEW ROM




YOU MUST USE FACTORY RESET IN CWM BEFORE INSTALLING!

This is the current work in progress, and this isn't even the initial build of it. I'll be testing along with many of you I'm sure and the idea of this is to make it feel like an original factory device. This is based off of the Vigor ROM, with minor tweaks, mostly updates.

INSTRUCTIONS!

  1. Wipe your Phone! [Factory Reset]
  2. Install, like a boss.
  3. Reboot
  4. When the warning prompt comes up select "Disable Recovery Flash"

Yes a warning comes up, no your phone isn't going to combust.

PLEASE UPLOAD YOUR OWN SCREENSHOTS BECAUSE I LOVE SEEING EVERYONE'S SETUP, YOU GUYS HAVE COOLER THINGS THAN I DO.
 
Yes just set it and install.

If you're having bootloops restore nandroid backup and try again.

New Progress: I got to the point where I'm at the home stretch, I just can't get the boot.img to stick. I'm trying to change the init.bt.rc.

Everything else is set.

my problem is my nandroid backup wont even fix this. I tried restoring multiple times and nothing.

So far still no luck whether downloading it directly to the phone, or to a different pc and transfering, though it may be the archive being incomplete or corrupted.
when I get to recovery it says: Warning: no APPS installed on SD card. E:darksideunbound.zip could not be verified, installation aborted.
put the zip on your external sd card, then in recovery flash it via "install zip from external sdcard"

thats what Im doing.
Im working on getting on another rom flashed so I can see if Im just repeatedly getting a corrupt download, or if there is something else going on on my end.
-------
SUCCESS! (I think)
Got it installed, but Im not sure it went exactly correct..I have the new launcher, and the phone info shows Build: darkside bound...but looks like all the stock apps are still present and accounted for, and I dont see v6 anywhere.
I didnt factory reset because based on this thread I thought the script did that automatically now?
