This is CandyKat. Built straight from SlimRom source with commits from a variety of different Sources/ROMS.
We wanted to give the users a fun, fully customizable ROM.We aim to add more features as this project progresses.
We have also come up with the Candy Sweetener Pack. This is an Aroma installer that is full of delicious treats.
Inspired by the CandyShop thread on XDA it has everything from glow dots to statusbar mods​

I could except I don't have access to a comp or flashtool so if I flash what recovery will I have?

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

I still have a nandrood in my twrp folder from where I had doomlords dual recovery so I have a backup in twrp and cwm if I need to go back

So far so good. LTE band 17 works fine. Bluetooth connected to my Volvo and can receive and make calls. Sadly, the camera is still non-functional (unlocked bootloader). Sadly, my phone is having some issues, can't actually power off the device. It just reboots, using the power button, power + volume up and selecting power off from TWRP. But it is probably hardware related since it was doing this on stock 4.4.2(functioning camera).

So its back to the HTC One(M7) Developer's Edition for now and waiting for the LG G Pro 2 F-350K to be delivered.
