Hi all, if anyone gets SunShine to work on a custom ROM can they report which custom ROM/ROM's it works on?

I'm on ViperOne 1.7.1 and no go on it, I'm happy to switch ROM's to get S-Off but unsure if any custom ROM's work with it, cheers.

I'm on stock rooted but every time I run test I keep getting "Please update Sunshine". Plus is there any other method of purchasing besides paypal? I have no access to paypal. Sprint M8 Harman Kardon edition. TWRP recovery, do I need to flash stock recovery as well?

If you have to switch ROMs, flash a Stock ROM and Stock Kernel!

Even though it worked with Maximus HD 5.0 for me.

I've downloaded the same exact one from the web site 3 different times, I tried e-mailing, but gmail & other web based e-mail providers do not allowed files bigger than 25mb. But I downloaded the apk off of theroot.ninja 3 different times and same error with each test.
