THIS IS FOR THE HTC DESIRE 816 (CHL & DUG a.k.a. Virgin Mobile Variant and Dual Sim)

Originally this was PACROM, but now I think continued development for RR takes priority based on user feedback. Thank you for your support!

NOTICE: FLASH THE APN FIX IN MY BASKETBUILD AFTER YOU GET PAC ROM SET UP. THIS IS NEEDED FOR DATA TO WORK

Just fixed the bootloop issue! RR 5.5.6 works like a charm! Devs recommend a clean (not dirty install), but you can try dirty if you want! Just know it could break ;) I have uploaded the new build to by Basketbuild (link above). For a full list of features look HERE

THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT!!

Nice job... Buttery smooth and everything works. Only issue I've seen is data occasionally disconnects and I need to toggle apn changer to reconnect (I think that's a CM issue?).

Great work!

It's an app called Change APN. Seems to be a consistent problem so far on CM. I always have to toggle the APN settings to bring back data after disconnecting from WiFi or whenever I would try to reconnect data. I had posted a video in Grarak's thread if it proves useful visual of the issue.

I'll try it again tomorrow as I have places to be tonight. Everything runs smooth. But no matter what apn I choose I get no data.

IDEA :)

I would love to check any roms other than insert coin which I am using now but I have A5_UL version so...
I think, and I am 95.8725% sure, that PAC-ROM and Resurrection Remix and CM12.1 in my basketbuild support all Desire 816 variants. If you could
1. First do a backup of your current rom just in case. In the event they don't work just reboot back to recovery and restore your backup

2. Flash Pac-Rom, RR, or CM12.1 that I have posted and tell me if it works, I would be extremely grateful :)

Please reply and tell me your results!!

Would anyone here be interested in a regularly maintained Resurrection Remix (5.1.1) build for the A5? I'm running Resurrection-Remix-LP-5.5.4 right now. Should I post this port also or just Pac-Rom?
I would totally be interested! RR was my favorite Rom for this phone. My favorite Rom of all time is DirtyUnicorn Rom, but RR is a close second!
