has there been any issues with this rom yet? I'm trying to find a b11 rom that has at least guaranteed service so i don't have to worry about losing it and people not being able to contact me.

I have not tested this rom personally but he used the b11 base that works. All the previous issues have been resolved.

good to know, I will keep an eye on the Deodexed rom you posted, hope things smooth out with it soon xD

Edit: Just realized that this one is Deodexed too, either way, i'll still keep an eye on the one you posted, best of luck :)

Its been running on my phone for 48 hours and i haven't noticed any issues. Haven't seen any force closes and all seems to work so far. Yes it has service too. Feel free to try it and report any issues you have with it. currently building Beta 2 which will include xposed framework already installed, face unlock and some system app updates

If when you say "sold me" you literally mean you pay for roms, then expect a screenshot up in 5 minutes ;)

Problem, After I flashed the System Prep and the rom, my power button stopped working. earlier this morning, it would boot up the phone, and i could put the phone to sleep, but when i tried to turn it back on, it wouldn't. Not it's not even powering on. whether i plug it in usb or just try turning it on while on battery. nothing is working. Luckily I have a backup phone that i can transfer my service to, but i would really like my warp sequent back lol. any ideas?

If it won't power on it's not the rom or the system prep. The rom doesn't kick in until later and the system prep only clears system, data, cache and adds the correct info for jb. Sounds like you may have something wrong with your hardware as nobody else is having this problem. I am sure you have tried pulling the battery, right?

First of i thought u flashed the rom already and said it was working ok? If you already flashed this rom ( or any other OTA based B11 rom) you DO NOT need the system prep zip. That was only for people that havent upgraded to Either the JB OTA or one of th JB OTA based roms on here. Second as SuperR said have you tried pulling the battery for a few mins then trying to power on?

I had done the system prep before flashing this rom...lol.

and as for my phone, i'm just going to send it into ZTE and see if they can send me a new one because another guy on a different thread had this same issue and zte just sent him a new one. here's to hoping.
