Okay i'll try to write out a step by step process.

1. Make sure your phone can boot up, if you soft bricked it, read the sticky on how to unbrick it, then root the phone using the instructions in the stickies.

2. Download and instal this apk to your phone: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By1SxJY5FEvyNXNHenc2ZGY5LU0/edit?usp=sharing

3. Open the app and apply the custom recovery.

4. Press the REBOOT button which will bring you into recovery mode.

5. Wipe data and do a factory reset in the recovery.

6. Select install from SD and select the ROM.zip file on your phone.

7. Let it flash, then reboot back into your phone regularly.

8. If you can't get past the activation process, turn your phone off, take the battery and SIM out and put them back in then restart the phone.

9. Activate your SIM, log into Google, etc.....Setup Wizard stuff.

10. Let your phone sit and update all your Google Play apps, including the Google Apps.

11. Restart the phone and you should be good to go!

Just want to let you guys know that I haven't forgot about ya lol...

I'll be doing an update to this rom soon to add a Blue Theme. Also some of you are having trouble getting into 2nd-init recovery, I may have a fix for that.

Anyways, I'll post back when I'm done.

Thanks for all the hard work GameTheory!

GameTheory · Jan 26, 2014

ROM Updated!

New Changes:

Added a Blue Color Theme
CyanogenMod battery with percentage
Debloated a little more
Added Root Browser

Also a couple of you reported not being able to boot into 2nd-init recovery. So I added a potential fix for that.

Make sure to follow the same install instructions in the first post.

Sweet! Now I need to figure out how to get into recovery in the first place

GameTheory · Jan 29, 2014

See if the 2nd-init button combo works for you from this post.

I'm on a PC and it opens just fine for me.

Either this phone is effed up (whether its mine or the whole Lucid 2 line, I'm not sure) but I FINALLY got into recovery and went to upgrade my kernel, couldnt find ANYTHING on my external SD card, and yes I know where and how to look, so I rebooted to try to find it and move it where I need it and after taking forever to reboot I find out that my phone factory reset and I lost EVERYTHING! Not anything from my external SD card, just all my settings, apps, text messages. You know, most everything relevant. All I did was wipe cache like it said, never went anywhere near factory reset. WTF! I mean its great I can finally get into recovery, but I didnt want to lose all my stuff.

Tapatalk claims it's dead, but regardless if I hit the home button twice when the capacitative lights turn on during the boot sequence cwm loads fine.

SacredBloodlin · Jan 31, 2014

Then why worry about if the link works if you can already get into recovery? lol

Tapatalk is a crap app lol. It does that a lot with perfectly fine links. I see a lot of people complain about that.

The rom comes with google keyboard and root file browser. When you install the rom you must factory reset before flashing the rom, not after. If you reset after, then the user apps I included will be removed.

my bad after i flash i realize that thankz bro

It was only after that link didn't work that I googled around and found out about the capacitative button piece of the puzzle.

achilles1643 · Feb 16, 2014

I would really like this rom to support apps2Sd (installing apps to sd card) I'm not sure if you have already added the support and I need to partition my sd card first BUT apps2sd is the main reason for my long search for a custom rom 4 gb for apps isn't really good...if I need to partition my sd card is there a app that doesn't require a computer??? I have used Aparted in the past but after a update it stopped working also idk if this is possible but more air controls would be nice like the galaxy s3 or even the watchon support? And will you ever update to kitkat if so when? And will it cut down the need for ram just like the official kit kat I'm I'm asking for a lot but it would b very nice thanks

achilles1643 · Feb 16, 2014

It would be very nice to see a full list of the apps that you removed so I can do the same without removing things I would have liked to keep

achilles1643 · Feb 16, 2014

@gamethoery Opps... My mistake I remember seeing a app having to do with ads when I did it correctly... What was it called? And np about the keyboard I just used the voice search on chrome and searched for the google keyboard apk file also one thing I loved about the stock file manager is it had a search funtuion... I also used it a lot so I miss it.. Any way I can get it back?

It was simply a link to 2nd-init recovery...

If you have any questions about the recovery, post them in that thread.

treyboyd98 · Mar 9, 2014

When I boot into recovery I can't mount the external sd, and it can't see the file in any other directory. Any ideas how to fix this?

There should be an option that says something like "install from external sd". I don't own this phone, so not much more I can tell you. Any questions you have regarding recovery, you should ask in the recovery thread.

Hey!
Thanks for the ROM

I have a little problem with the ROM.
I did everything you said, flashed recovery, made factory reset, format cache/davlik cache, flashed the rom, but it gets stuck in booting animation (Lucidian, and circles around it).
Is there anything I missed?
I think there was vs10B installed in it, does it has something to do about it?
Thanks in advance

I don't know. You're the first person not able to install this. I don't own this phone so I can't help you much. Check the instructions, I never said anything about formatting. Just factory reset in recovery then flash the zip.
