INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS and DOWNLOADS

Installation for 5.1.X (Candy5 V2.X):

• Download Candy5.zip
• Download 5.1 Gapps (optional)
• Place Candy5.zip on phone's memory or SD card
• Boot into recovery. You need a newer version for lollipop. Tested with TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery linked below.
• Make a nandroid backup.
• Make sure you're on one of these radios or newer for now: I727:UCMC1|I727R:UXUMA7
• Full wipe (Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Factory Data Reset)
• Flash Candy5.zip
• Flash GApps if desired ***
• Reboot, and let the ROM boot up and settle for 5-10 minutes.
• Enjoy!

Issues? Post a logcat on Pastebin, link to it here, and provide as many details as possible, such as ROM version, GApps used, radio/modem, cell provider, or anything relevant to the problem or how to duplicate the issue.

TWRP Recovery:
TWRP 2.8.7.0 with F2FS support in IMG, TAR and ZIP formats. Thanks to @javelinanddart for compiling these.

5.1.X:
ROM:
candy5-release.v4.1-20151030-UNOFFICIAL-skyrocket.zip

Don't use the BasketBuild OTAs just yet. I'll un-hide the link when the OTA builds are good again:

Candy ROMs are now built weekly and can be found in the CandyRoms BasketBuild Skyrocket folder

GApps:
Use TK PIco GApps from AndroidFileHost | BasketBuild
(Main TK GApps thread on XDA)
(*** You may use a 5.1 GApps package of your choice, but be wary of large GApps packages. It's normally better on the Skyrocket to install a very small GApps package and get the rest of the Google Apps from the Play Store...)

Please give first boot several minutes to complete.

* If you use Hangouts Dialer and find you lose audio after using it, you can try flashing this audio patch. (Credit goes to @bryan2894.)

=================

Previous builds have been removed from here, but they're still on my AndroidFileHost.com account or CandyRoms' AndroidFileHost.com account.

Need alot more info
Where you already rooted,if so with what recovery.Twrp of phhilz ,ect ( see Vincom's page at beginning of development page BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING } Did you install rom from TWRP or from phone itself with a rom manager or reboot to recovory. You also could have download bad file. Have you installed a custom rom before and what recovery did you use and what rom are you running.. Sorry about the questions but it really helps everyone here to help you. Thanks

You need to be rooted to install a custom recovery. @vincom's Skyrocket One-Stop Reference Sticky is linked in my signature, and has everything you need for rooting, recovery, flashing, radios, and even the stock ROMs to reset your device to stock.

I have installed and tested both TWRP and the ROM myself, so I know both are OK.

seems like you tried using stock recovery to install, fail!
read my sticky as others have suggested on installing custom recovery.
if thats not ur case then more info on what ur steps were would be helpful.

Did you enable MTP in storage options?

Yes, buddy, you are absolutely correct. Pushing with Odin is what I normally use...

No option for MPT in storage, just connect too usb -that doesn't do anything when selected.

Ok thanks. I'll be looking at power off charging code later and will look at the storage options too.

What's the Play Store issue?

NEW BUILD!

OK, here we go...

An updated build has been posted in the ROM download link in the OP. I think you guys are gonna like this!

It includes:

• BLN (Button Light Notificaiton) support, and it can be disabled if you want in the Settings menu! (Sorry no per-app control right now.) Thanks to @gimmeitorilltell!
• Power-off charging is fixed, along with animated images during charge. So if your phone dies, you can charge it back up without issue!
• App2sd is back!

GO GET SOME YUMMY CANDY! :good:

Hi NoSpamDan, i saw you made a Candy Rom build which i think was very cool when i tested it on Kitkat last year. So i decide to get this one instead of Slim LP. Would it be possible to have both roms support the new partition layout ? Thank for your hardwork. Hope you continue for some more great update.
