- 600kb, 2MB, and 5MB MMS options (600kb default)
- zipalign on boot
=============== Requirements ===============HTCdev Unlock (Choose "All Other Supported Models" and follow all the directions, including driver install)
Custom recovery - I would recommend TWRP since it doesn't have the /misc issue anymore
=============== How to Flash ===============
- Download the ROM below and place on your internal_sdcard or sdcard (doesn't matter, just remember where you put it!)
- Go into Settings > Power > Fast Boot and uncheck that.
- Turn the phone off. Once off, press and hold the Volume Down + Power Button until you reach the white bootloader screen
- Choose "RECOVERY" (volume down and up to move, power to select)
- You SHOULD make a backup by tapping on the "Backup" button. You are not required, but I would recommend it.
- You also SHOULD manually wipe cache, dalvik-cache, and factory reset (wipe /data). This can be done by tapping on the "Wipe" button. Choose those 3 options (and even system if you want, even though the install script does that for you)
- Choose "Install" and locate the ROM wherever you put it. NOTE: If you don't see it, make sure that either internal_sdcard or sdcard is mounted. This can be done via the "Mount" button at the main menu of TWRP. Be sure that either internal_sdcard or sdcard is checked!
- Wait until the install is finished and then tap "Reboot to System"
