This is the first of many guides I will be posting and keeping up with.

So ......

3. the tweaks open then close help? A- need to deny super user for it then go in and change what u want then re enable superuser for it

how to install

1. install like u would any rom then wait for 2 min ( if wont boot )
2. pull battery and restart then you'll see optimizing apk's count down.(IF YOU HAVE A REMOVABLE BATTERY)

***Guys This Is A Port So remember it will have small glitches here and there but all in all should be stable ***​

For starters HOW TO INSTALL a ROM by SAC23

Installing with TWRP (View All Supported Devices>>> Find TWRP for your device):
Philz can be used and I will post instructions for it later https://www.mediafire.com/folder/qc3z1c59s8g03/PHILZ

This assumes that you ALREADY have TWRP Recovery installed on your phone and you know how to use it.
Download the ROM of choice...move it onto the EXT SD CARD.

VERY IMPORTANT>>> Move all music, pics, important data from internal storage to the ext SD card and/or to your pc, etc. because during this process, the internal will be completely erased.

Recommended Method to Flash SACS Custom ROMS using TWRP

1. Boot into TWRP
2. Select Wipe > Advanced Wipe
3. Select Dalvik, System, Data, Internal Storage, and Cache. Swipe to Wipe (do this THREE TIMES)
4. Go back to previous Advanced Wipe screen.
5. Select Format Data, Type YES, Press GO. (do this THREE TIMES)
6. Go back to previous Advanced Wipe screen.
7. Swipe to Factory Reset. (do this THREE TIMES)
8. Go back to MAIN menu and STOP HERE !!!!! READ NEXT STEP CAREFULLY....
   [*]Select REBOOT INTO RECOVERY mode and Swipe to Install Super User. DO NOT REBOOT INTO SYSTEM!
   [*]AFTER THE PHONE REBOOTS INTO RECOVERY:
9. NOW proceed with installing The ROM
10. Select Install Zip, Drill down to Sac23's Rom you want to flash, and Swipe to install.
11. Follow on screen instructions (if there are any).
12. When prompted, REBOOT SYSTEM.

THE FIRST BOOT WILL TAKE A MINIMUM OF 20 MINUTES..... SOME DEVICES EVEN LONGER...
.
.
HAVE PATIENCE
When the Home Screen appears and it is obvious that the install has completed, allow the phone to settle for another 10 minutes BEFORE you begin setting up your personal preferences and accounts.
If everything seems normal, set your phone up and profit.
IF IT WON'T BOOT....(IF YOU HAVE A REMOVABLE BATTERY)...try pulling battery and replacing battery then restart phone and you should see "Android Updating"

After setting up your personal info and you are now ready, the first thing you should always do after flashing any ROM is to go to settings, system updates, and refresh/update your PRL & PROFILE then reboot the phone. Second thing is go to settings, more networks, mobile networks, network mode, and select LTE/CDMA.

I've been on for a week with no issues.

I believe the fc is due to the lock screen..just change the lock screen effect and the FC's will go away.

STEP-BY-STEP INFO FOR XPOSED FOR LOLLIPOP
THANKS @Ali1353

I really don't remember who posted theses files but thanks to whoever did.
1) download these 2 files and save them on your SDcard

3) Reboot
4) wait a couple of minutes ( mine took almost 5 minutes)
5) install Xposed Installer_3.0-alpha2.apk ( I tried it a couple of times since I got error but finally did)

8) Went back to recovery and formated Dalvik and Cache
9) Rebooted back
10 ) go to your apps and run Xposed Installer , then Download , select whatever you like ( I like YouTube AdAway and YourTube)

@rlmiller @sac23

only issue so far is the delay on the lock screen when you try to wake up the phone. also while on the lock screen it never go black. it will just sit on the lock screen until you press the power button.

 

[sac23]

Some lock screens do that

 

[Josephigloe]

Ok so im installing potato clock in the center its good but i cant figure out how to remove to stock clock on the right i have 2 clocks.

 

[gabesir]

Some lock screens do that

i switched all of the lock screen effect and they all lagged

When you select NONE it works fine but it doesnt time out.

 

[sac23]

For potato clock if u have 2 clocks just reboot will fix issue

 

[Josephigloe]

For potato clock if u have 2 clocks just reboot will fix issue

[TrofeoSC]

Does this use the Sprint Lollipop modem and baseband that you would have if you took the OTA?

 

[Nikprelaj]

Does this rom have wifi calling

 

[Goat1378]

Was the link taken down becuz of small bugs? I'm dying to give this rom a shot with the edge feature. Been watching all the posts. The team you guys have always put together impressive work. But this one by far has me itching. Cant wait, cant wait, cant wait!!

Could you maybe go in xposed and hide the stock clock? I think that will work.

 

[Wind_Driven]

Any plans to finish/fix the MOAR 5.0 Port? Big fan of the previous MOAR port, still my daily driver.
