Introduction
| The intention with this ROM is to create an optimized but stable base that can used for daily ROMs and from which others can customize for their own ROM releases. |
Please feel free to take this base and build off of it to create your own custom ROMs!
Features

Apps installed to /data (so you can easily uninstall them):
- ES File Explorer
- Xposed Framework Installer
- Adaway
- Google Keyboard (from KitKit)
** Apps installed to /system/app for security reasons:
- Cerberus
** KitKat Apps on /system/app:
- Updated Google Play Books
- Updated Gmail
- Updated Hangouts
- Updated Play Games
- Calculator
- Gallery
- Camera (in addition to the Sense 5.5 camera, currently FC on PhotoSphere though)

| The associated baseband with this ROM is 4T.21.3218.04_10.15.1718.01L. There is a copy of the firmware to flash, however, this will only work if your device is S-OFF. |
| **WARNING**Currently if you unlock the bootloader it will disable your fingerprint scanner. There's nothing that can be done about that, and there is nothing you can do to get it functional again without a factory RUU. |
How to Unlock the Bootloader:
- Go to http://www.htcdev.com and log in (or register then log in)
- Click on the "Bootloader Unlock" graphic
- Click on the "Get Started" button
- From the "Supported Devices" drop-down box select the last option which is "All Other Supported Models"
- Click "Begin Unlock Bootloader"
How to install a Custom Recovery
There are two current options
It doesn't really matter which one you use, it's all personal preference. Just download one, reboot to the bootloader (Power + Vol Up), and flash using the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
| After flashing the recovery you'll want to reboot into the recovery and IMMEDIATELY make a NANDROID BACKUP. There are no RUUs available so if something goes wrong you need a backup you can restore! It is recommended that you backup to an external SD card and also keep a copy of the clockworkmod or twrp backup store on your computer for safe keeping. |
How to Install the ROM
ROM performs a FULL WIPE (except for internal/external SD storage)
- First of all, have you made your NANDROID BACKUP yet?
- Copy the ROM to either Internal or External SD (doesn't really matter)
- Reboot to recovery and flash the zip file!
