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

Lol I was thinking of the z787 your fine then just no camera. I was under the impression the z987 was 1 gig. Hopefully storage isn't an issue.

Band 12

Does this have LTE band 12
Yes, it would seem. T-Mobile does not have band 12 in my area but when I insert my AT&T SIM, I am able to pick up AT&T band 17, which can be used with band 12 devices via MFBI. I'm positive it's actually band 17 because I can get LTE service deep inside buildings where my T-Mobile service fizzles out.

Failed to install

Blisspop 5.1.1 for the ZTE ZMAX
PLEASE READ NEW FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS

ok guys this is Blisspop 5.1.1 for the ZTE ZMAX

Features: all Blisspop features
notification settings
hidden settings

OmniSwitch
Tons of other features.
heads up settings

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

THANKS
Thanks to the Blisspop team and thanks to @mingolianbeef and @hroark13
The rom is amazing, that aside. Upon installation of themes I get a "failed to install" on every theme from GPlay, .apk, or anywhere else. Do you have any clue as to what may be causing this? If it's as simple as a rom update that would be amazing. I'm looking forward to it. A reply would be nice because, this is driving me in circles.

Can anyone pose give feedback compared to the stock rom? I'm giving this phone to someone and although I'd prefer to give them lollipop, I'm reluctant if there are still stability issues and bugs. Any feedback on the less stable remark or other issues? If they're not technologically inclined should I stick with stock? How unsuitable and buggy are we talking?

Thanks!
