Instructions:
You need an unlocked bootloader and we recommend latest TWRP
(The kernel used in ROM is NOT force encrypted)

1. Download the Rom and Gapps and place in the root of your internal storage
2. Boot into TWRP. (Making a backup before flashing is always recommended)
3. I always recoomend clean flashing coming from any rom. To do so go to Wipe and swipe to perform a factory reset. I also personaly go to advanced wipe and checkmark all but internal storage and wipe there too.
4. Flash ROM and Gapps under Install
5. Reboot and enjoy.

@REV3NT3CH, this ROM is too smooth! Thanks for sharing. Honored to rock your work on yet another device. You did twisted good things for my G2. Appreciated. Still setting up but the feel of the ROM is already solid - no jitters, tears or rough activity transitions pulling on the hardware. And that's after a short time of settling in. The tell tale signs of your kernel genius, no doubt. (=

Funny thing: Wasn't expecting the shock I got at the boot ani; watched the Google logo jump just before Desolation woke me up. Thought I was on my way into a bootloop. Instead, these electric splashes of color roll out & shocked my glazed 4AM eyes. Pretty sure I heard myself squeal - in fear first, then delight Lol Hey, a bold boot animation for one seriously well executed ROM! ?

Again, Thanks
