4. Flash ROM and Gapps under Install
5. Reboot and enjoy.

How-To for Boot Animation Selections:
Prerequisite:
Boot Animation must be in a pure zip format

How-To:
Make directory on internal storage name "desobootanimations" and place zip file there or use AOSP "Download" pre-made directory.
"desobootanimations" directory will override the use of "Download"
Place prebuilt zip in one or the other, it should now show in custom settings under Desolated Core->Boot animation->Boot Animation Selection
Your selection will stay static even if deleting the selected file off storage. It will revert back to "Stock" upon flashing, clean or dirty.

LP bootstack???

Little noobish question, does this ROM require LP Bootstack? I guess not, I didn't find it in OP.

Thanks for you work!

 

[Mashed_Potatoes]

Downloading. This ROM is CM-free?

Caf source for kernel. Requires 4.4 aboot.
[EDIT]
I'm confirming compatibility with a 4.4 aboot

Downloading. This ROM is CM-free?

As much as it can be.

You would have to enable it. Use kernel adiutor if you want it.

Caf source requires LB bootstack with 4.4 OR 4.2 aboot.
If kernel is bumped, 4.4 and 4.2 aboot is able to boot it.
4.2 aboot also supports old aosp roms from kk or jb times and older caf based roms.
To avoid confusion let users stay on lp bootstack with 4.2 aboot (called loki lp bootstack). That's my suggestion. 4.2 aboot can't cause issues but users flashing/updating wrong bootstack/bootloader and whatever can. Saying 4.4 aboot needed means coming from stock 4.4 rom is OK, in this case they don't have the lp modem etc, and issues coming again.

You misread out of context. Check Q & A yourself before replying and also check device source which is also linked here dated 7/25.

That commit means kernel is built with bump: signed with lg key used in both 4.2 and 4.4 aboot. So a bumped boot img will pass 4.2 and 4.4 aboot security check. This is why 4.4 aboot is NOT a must to be able to use caf roms with that commit.
4.2 aboot has the mentioned benefits. Able to install and boot loki roms too. While on 4.4 aboot loki'd updater script will fail while executing loki script.

With this I just want to help users to see, every caf kernel based rom has the same prerequirements before install to avoid useless bootstack flashing back and forth, and common questions asked again and again. Not to mention the bricked devices.

A lot of people imply that the 4.4 aboot is a much cleaner method, however this isn't technically true, what's cleaner is bump over loki and other than slight graphical differences in use the 4.2 and 4.4 aboot are identical (for the user). There isn't a major advantage of a 4.4 bootloader over a 4.2, other than it's technically newer and probably has a couple under-the-hood improvements. Anyways ROM seems interesting, gonna check it out later tonight, sorry for OT.

Awesome ROM. Very snappy and everything works great--provided that I set Device Only for GPS. Not sure if it's what I've installed or what but after googling my fingers off I came across https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-3810. I was getting Google Play service crashes all over the place and by setting my Location Services to Device Only that has all gone away. I don't know if my experience is related to that issue, but it feels like it from here.
Anyway, this is an awesome ROM and thank you for sharing!
EDIT: And the phone is completely cooled even whilst on usb charger. Wasn't that way--on or off charger--prior to location svcs change. Still open to the idea that it's all placebo.
