Has anyone tried out the new 4.4 Hellfire rom ??
Took forever to download and then file appeared to be corrupted. Will try again on next weekly release, Hellfire seems to be comparable to Carbon in terms of performance and features.
I use to have that problem too. Any rom that I downloaded through ES File Explorer would be corrupt. I could see files inside but when I went to flash, it wouldn't work. Maybe try another download method? How big is the file to take such a long time?
I always download to my computer, modify the zip, then plug in my phone and transfer via USB. The current file for Hellfire is on a file server that is either getting lots of traffic or the mirror is just slow, actual file size is typical of most Sprint ROM's.
Oh, OK. I have always downloaded from my device transferred to my pc then edited the files and then transferred back to my phone to flash. Would save me a few steps to download from the PC, haha. Maybe there is another mirror? If not then it's a problem with them.
Just to share, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to resize my screen shots in order to upload (I'm open to suggestions, you can even talk to me like I'm a complete noob in the instructions), but on first nightly of official CM 11, my battery just hit 24 hours on most recent charge and it is currently at 39%!! This is with standard usage for me of texting, some MMS, Tapatalk and internet usage, etc.
You can do like i have done in previous post. I post them to Imgur then use their BB Code which is just "" with the link in between and without quotations marks. It makes it nice and big so that everyone can see! Hope this answers your question!
Example of my homescreen:
I was about to take the plunge but i'm trying this "work" thing again, not sure I like it .
Let us know how it goes
I want to Flash both of these. where can I find more info about the appropriate APN fixes. I just came from the thunderbolt on verizon and I am catching up as fast as I can with this phone. I am already running the 12-10 nightly of CM with the appropriate GAPPS.

Link and instructions are also located in OP of my tutorial in the sticky section. Any help or questions feel free to post or PM! We want you to feel as comfortable as possible here, and would rather you ask advice first than desperate help later if something goes sideways! Welcome to the forums.
All right, all is well with a dirty flash and installation of newest PA GApps! Don't worry if initial boot hangs after a few seconds, it will restart itself and boot just fine. This has actually happened to me about half the time on CM 11 anyways when rebooting back from recovery. Standard disclaimer from OP applies about bricked phones, personal responsibility, etc., etc. Also, I in no way claim to be directly responsible for the original ROM or GApps, these are just the versions I modified for personal use after downloading. All credit goes to CyanogenMod Team and Paranoid Android. Modification of build.prop to set SELinux to permissive did not stick or else I need to modify another line I don't know about, so for now changing from enforcing to permissive requires manual intervention. Good luck, happy flashing!

Don't forget, appropriate APN fixes (specific to Boost or VM, depending) are still necessary.
I tore myself away from work long enough , I can confirm both of your modded packages work after a dirty flash. I used SELinuxModeChanger to change to permissive on the fly worked just fine here.
