hi bigsupersquid thanks for this rom

but my device a5dug not switch 3g only and 2g only
please help for this What should I do????????
because when u were using your stock rom the network was set to GSM only (2G only).
Switch back to stock rom, go to dialer, dial *#*#4636#*#* click on phone information and change the network type to GLOBAL Auto(PRL). Now go to sim settings and change the network type to WCDMA ONLY or WCDMA Preferred. Now check if 3G works on stock rom, if yes re-flash the custom rom

Can we expect build within this week ?
Actually not because pacthing the kernel is quite a time consuming thing and as he is not using his SSD, using normal HDD will take more time for syncing the sources. @singhjot0020 wait as much as u can, bcz when u will actually receive the new build LOS 14.1 or LOS 15(mostly 7.1.2 or 8.0 with all the new commits and security patches) u will actually feel it was worth waiting, keep patience just like me

first of all backup all your data. Now download minimal fastboot and adb package, go to htc bootloader unlocking page, unlock the bootloader, install twrp backup the stock rom and flash the new rom

Anyone heard Google is purchasing HTC's mobile division?? I think itz a great news, just like google performed its magic on moto and helped it to revive, hope the same will happen with HTC too and expecting some pretty solid phones ahead

Hey rjcool1999!
I think i messed up. I did everything you told and worked fine. Flashed lineage and it all worked fine. But then i went for GApps. Downloaded ARM 7.1 full version. Installed it using TWRP. Once it booted, and I swip unlocked my phone it crashed and turned off. Won't turn on any more and and all i can do is get to TWRP recovery. Tried clearing cache and dalvik cache. Still no help. So i ended up clearing everything. Did a clean flash. Tried to restore my stock backup. The backup starts and then after few seconds, the phone turns off. I have made a CWM backup too. So changed stock recovery to CWM. Tried restoring my CWM backup. Everything goes well and the restores "was successful" - according to the log. But when i try to turn on my phone it doesn't work. There was a line in the log that says "android_secure.img" not found, skipping android_secure.img .... Still gets stuck on HTC logo with the "red disclaimer" thing below(which shows up when you enter recovery mode that says that recovery is build for htc only and so on) and turns off. Tried reflashing it with lineage using both TWRP and CWM. Still does not work . Don't know what to do now.
You help would be appreciated. Thanks

1. Okk so first of all the rule is to flash gapps immediately after flashing the rom, for begineers I'll recommend pico gapps or AROMA(if you know what components are u adding and removing) and then try to boot.
2. Do not use the latest TWRP version, rather use the old 3.0.2 version(3.1.x.x versions dont work with DWG/DUG) and use minimal fastboot and adb to reflash the recovery partition again with TWRP.img
3. Now remove your micro sd card and use a pendrive and a otg adapter for storing the rom and gapps file. Now advance wipe boot, system, data, cache, dalvik-cache and internal storage.
4. reflash the rom and gapps and try booting in, hope so your boot will be successful.

Which version have u installed (xposed)? Can u put link?
actually it was ErnyTech's xposed framework and C3C076's xposedbridge.jar with some zip modification by myself, but unfortunately I deleted that modified zip.
