Tons of other features.

Bugs: Less stable

HOW TO FLASH (NEW INSTRUCTIONS):
1. Place ZIP on SD Card
2. Reboot Into TWRP
3. NANDROID (DO NOT SKIP THIS FOR YOUR SAKE)
4. Don't factory reset the normal way, go to wipe > advanced wipe and click "dalvik cache", "data", "cache" and "system". If you don't, you run the risk of getting an updater-script error (not from the zip, it's a bug in some TWRP builds).
5. New Step: Reboot recovery (in the recovery menu). It will ask if you want to install su, press do not install.
5. Flash the ROM

A small bit of help please

Installed on a ZTE Grand XMax+ (or ZTE987)
Worked well, but I seem to be missing the soft buttons at the bottom so when an app opens I can not go back or get to the home screen
Is there a way I can fix this?

I went into Settings, Bliss Interface, Navigation Options, Navigation Bar and chose to enable Navigation Bar. Sooooo Awesome!
Thanks again for all your hard work.

I downloaded the rom from this site and used it on my Cricket ZTE Grand Xmax+(Cricket ZTE987) and it works well,
the Camera is not working though, If there is anything I can to to help please let me know. I will test or verify specific parts as working or not just let me know what you need to know.
Reference this thread for more info and a TWRP image of the cricket factory rooted OS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/zte-grand-x-max-t3028834/page15
I put it up in case someone screws up and needs to backtrack if anyone else with more experience than me can pull the camera app and put it in their rom so it can be ported to a ZTE Grand Xmax + (cricket ZTE987)

You guys are fine now but I'm gonna reccomned you stop installing them after this. There all baked in with my new kernel which I modified zte zmax specific things. You will get a brick from this most likely.

dont worry about that about only thing differnt is camera and screen size otheriwise its same chipset, if the twrp and EVERYHTING works but the camera its the same chipset

some guy made a custom kernal for the zmax for 5.1 i tried it on my z987 it works fine

Yea that was me. I make all the 5.1 ROMs and kernels and right now all it has is governors and io schedulars but in the next version I added OC and UC which will probably brick your device.

Clearly not too. It has a different storage size and ram iirc which is a bad thing because in the kernel ram is accounted for there and such. I messsed with stuff that's specific to that. Also the reason the camera doesn't work??? Clearly the camera is different in some way

i respect you are dev but what part of its same chipset is stumping you? if anthing was going to brick it probably would be the kernal so if they can run each others kernals its same chipset

---------- Post added at 01:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------

they are both adrieno 305, 1.2 ghz and snapdragon 400 and yes i know about the camera, thats just the camera they put on it the chipset the brains of the show is same except for maybe ram, OH YA forgot 1 thing i know people running OC kernal on stock rom on the z987

Yea I made the god damn kernel OK??? Let me ask you does a moto g kernel work on the zmax? No because its a moto g. I have a bricked test device because of my testing with the moto g stuff. There kernels don't work but its the same chip set and screen resolution.

easy sparky i was not dis respecting you all im saying is same chipset and as i edited my other post i said people have run the stock rom OC kernal on the z987, so if what you were saying was correct, the OC kernal for stock rom would have bricked the Z987...SORRY WAS NOT TRYING TO OFFEND YOU,and thanks for your work

Sorry man Im really pissed of at all the people with the z987 because they have bricks and act like I can help them. If you guys have a kernel when I get a chance I'll make you one

no problem i think their bricks were not follwing instruction bricks i know there is a guy with stock rom with OC kernal running on his Z987

And what I was saying is the stock kernel is probably fine for you device if its OC but there was no 5.1.1 kernel for the zmax because it never got a real update so it was hacked together and made for the zmax so it may not work as things were drastically changed

are you saying stock stock kernal or what i am saying some guy is on zmax 4.4 he is running the OC to 1.6 and underclock kernal on his z987 and its runs

Yea my new kernel is the same except the stock kernel is pure as it was made by zte but the new kernel has modification's to it and some stuff it pulled from other devices which may not work on your device. And our GPU and CPU is very common so things may work but mainly what I'm worried about is the ram. Things may go haywire because you have half the ram
