Indeed it is (thanks cooldudezach). Hence the *WORKING* for all awe phones.

It is very much stable, however we are still tweaking it a bit so I believe it is considered [Beta]. No worries though, its working great on my personal device and my g/f's, hers having experienced the bootloop problem.

Apex is actually alot smoother and it doesnt take too much resources. I am trying to get the lockscreen implemented, but its ALOT of work. Ill add it to the list here though. I can put xposed lockscreen in if requested, but id like to keep xposed framework an optional thing

Also, anybody else randomly get their internet turned back on even though its been turned off for 3 days and you have received the past due notice from Virgin? Lol, so silly but hey free internet so I ain't complaining ^_^

 

[edodson84]

could you include live wallpaper picker or link the deodexed apk??

Ill add it back in next release. Only took them out to make the rom smaller. I will include one maybe two lwp from the original

 

[dragonhart6505]

Heres a tip. If you get that "free innternet" thing i mentioned, dont connect to wifi. Ruins the damned thing.
Im sad now :-(

[jaman29]

I'm stuck in a consistent bootloop. I've wiped everything so many times and reflashed the ROM. Same problem: ( not sure how to fix it.

 

[jaman29]

I've even redownloaded the link 3 times from 3 different browsers. So idk.

"Never mind. Got it. ROM is niiiice Thanks again!"

So what is this? Does it work for you or not?

This really should be working for everyone. I and the team have tested the kernel extensively and have found no issues. Did you clear the cache and dalvik-cache after flashing the rom?

 

[jaman29]

Well it worked for about an hour. And now it boots up, goes to the lock screen, and then reboots, and its been doing it for 45 minutes. Sucks cuz I love the ROM.
