Scimitar ROM is a ROM which is meant to be lightning fast, battery friendly, and have customization options. It most certainty doesn't disappoint. It is based on Rascalo's source with the main difference being that it's built from Linaro with few customization here and there.​

If you really like this ROM, consider donating to this 16 year old lad. No, he doesn't get high off of drugs, but rather off of Android. I will never ask for donations other than in this post and it won't affect how much time I put into this ROM, but it will make me :) with my ideal family: Me, my laptop, and a Starbucks Coffee Frappuccino.

Yes, you can use ART however I don't really recommend it because still not all apps are compatible and can cause some FC's for apps. I also didn't experience much of a performance difference with ART compared to Dalvic

I already use ART on Cataclysm and I can tell a difference. None of the apps I use are incompatible with ART. Will the FC's happen if I haven't had any FC's before? Also, what does this ROM include? Does it have the ROM + Gapps + SU + Busybox? Because the zip file seems insanely huge for just a ROM....

Yeah it includes Gapps and it'll prompt you for to install the Superuser installer. It'll just take a quick second to install it thereafter.

This pretty much what it has. No halo. Forgot to mention black in the ROM and the subtle theming is awesome.

Clean flash using twrp 2.6.3.4 failed, something about errors with symlinks. Md5 matched, so not a bad download. Any ideas?
EDIT: Never mind -- bad flash x 3. Worked on the fourth try!
Thanks for another ROM, dev (and Soup's recommendation does mean something)
