Hello Everyone! This is my first "Rom" release so bare with me. Basically I got tired of having tons of apps sucking juice out of my battery for no reason. The purpose of this rom is to be as lightweight as possible without sacrificing performance, battery, features, or customization.


Thanks again sylentprofet for the great idea. If you want to check his rom out here is the link. All credits go to him.

Note: This rom has no boot animation! Do not freak out if there is a black screen when you are booting!
Also let the ROM settle for a couple of days before judging battery life.
If you get force closes after installing the rom just reboot and try again!


All credits go to original creators of content! Thanks to everyone who helped me build this without their knowing it ;) This rom was built from source using linux 14.04
Tweaks and info where obtained from:

gigoo25, I would go back to Cyanogenmod, do you have any plans on adding carrier unlocked native wi-fi tether?
Just to clarify. This is Stock CyanogenMod. It is a a lightweight more battery friendly CyanogenMod but it is still CyanogenMod. All features should be working. Including WiFi theathering.

Flashed this... Screen is black.. only able to see battery and network sign! Nothing is coming! (Have not flashed yet gapps till now)
Remember there is no boot animation so you might see black for a couple of minutes. Also what HTC One model do you have? Sprint? T-Mobile? International?

Thanks I tried the mirror first and the website wouldn't allow me to download.

The latest build doesn't get past the welcome setup wizard for me.

I reflashed, wiped everything but FC setup wizard after language select.

Is it rebooting? If yes... Flash superuser zip right after flashing the Rom

Nope doesn't reboot. Just welcome wizard FC and then black screen. If i press back button welcome wizard comes back and again if i select language it FCs again.


Are you up and running OK? Have you used stock kernel or Tiny CM kernel?

As i said earlier.. After booting.. Black screen.. Doesn't get past setup wizard.. Only able to see network and battery signals, everything else is blank and black. Tried to flash this using CWM.. Maybe that can be the problem... can anybody check it with TWRP!
