Have to root your device, install build.prop editor and replace "Lt26i" to "nozomi" before installing the rom. :cool:
Remember to do wipe full data.

i am on stock partition...so can i use the bank gapps you recomended..its about 347 mb and i think its too big for stock partition...waiting for ur reply to flash...and is the double tap to wake function included in this rom?
I installed recommended gapps. Its to big, "google play" and "google" is the only apps that got installed (no calendar, browser, etc..)

And the double tap to wake function does not include in this ROM
Double tap to wake function is in this rom and it works ... (not sure if it works bad or im just taping to often and it starts to ignore taps)

Double tap to wake function is in this room and it works sometimes... (double taping as i write :) )
Yea, I think the gapps file comes big in size because of some specific files for Google devices and the Facelock. It will not install everything inside for this phone.


And ya, simpleaosp does not include some aosp apps like browser, calender. They prefer the Google ones maybe.

But don't worry, S♥NE will make a flashable zip as an addon at post #3 for those who prefer aosp apps

Installed from stock firmware (with root, busybox, CWM v6.0.3.0)
Problems i had:
1. Had to edit build prop (from device lt26i to nozomi).
2. Recommended gapps was too big to fully install but no errors in installation (it's the only problem with gapps i see).
3. Used "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" for root, failed (after that, installed superSu from market, still cant get root ).

1. I will remove this line so that no need to edit build.prop anymore when coming from stock firmware.
Code:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "nozomi" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "nozomi" || abort("This package is for device: nozomi; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + "."););
2. Yea I will look into it

3. the latest version should be SuperSU 2.49, let me know if it works or not.

Thanks :)

Yes, there is no app for sms and superuser is embeded in settings. I think the launcher has been configured to hide the super user app. You can install google messenger app for sms.
