Always do a backup, if your alarm fails to go off, or phone doesn't ring or you throw it and break something I am not responsible. This is a port of a port, please do logcats if something crashes and report if anything goes wrong.


Laduate presents his first ROM!



This is a port of RaptorRomGPE v2 to the Cricket Wireless version of the phone.

Things Not working
Camera - Updated Google Camera is not working on this rom. You can uninstall the update for it and tell it to not auto update and the rear camera will work but not the front camera.

Installation instructions
I know these are alot of steps, I am working on building this into the rom, just hitting some roadblocks with it.
If anyone knows how to fix it let me know.
1. Always make a backup
2. Wipe Dalvik, system and data
3. Install Zip
4. Wait for system to boot, be patient.
5. After phone has booted dial *#*#4636#*#*.
6. Scroll down to change the radio from LTE/CDMA (PRL) to LTE/GSM (PRL)
7. Click the back button and return to your homescreen.
8. Reboot your phone.
9. Go to Settings>More>Mobile Networks>APN.
10. Input the Cricket APN settings found here.
11. Click on the option button at top (the 3 vertical squares and hit save).
12. Make sure that the Radial button is blue.
13. You should now have Cricket LTE service.

First thing first, thanks for this! I am currently running this now and it seems to be much faster than stock. The only issue other than what is in the op, is I can't send MMS. I tried more than one app from the play store and also Hangouts. It's not really a deal breaker for my and any input is always appreciated.

been more and more tempted to flash,but my girl would kill me for breaking cameras,but i may have to do it simply for the performance :D
Same here man. Itching to try it and I just may with my wife's just to see. She may not notice for a few actually. The cameras on these phones suck but ya gotta have it for everyday life I guess. Let me know if you go for it and what you think, I'll do the same

I flashed this rom, followed all the steps until I got to the apn settings.... The apn option is not there. :confused: It's just not an option in Settings>More>Mobile Networks.. Any thoughts on what the problem may be?

What are your options?
Sorry, I haven't been online in the last few days. I have restored my previous rom, but my issues were the same as jays17 and chrisdrr... i tried the radio settings multiple times, and even tried a fresh download and clean install. Same issues :rolleyes:

So I'm still on stock so I've been looking into the camera and the libs for such,check these screenies :
https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B7axxhnwa8zqTmJUU1Q0T0QwOGM/edit

All these libs / Folder have "camera" in the name,also the two specific files showing sensor types my be interesting,so I'm soon gonna be flashing this,BUT if someone what's go be the guinea pig,tomorrow I will get all of these such libs extracted,if you can replace them in the Rom with the correct permissions and in the correct places we may be able to get cameras going,that's a extremely large maybe considering there's a HTC specific lib for the camera that we may not even be able to utilize since its aosp but it's a starting theory.

@ Anyone,check your sensor files with a text editor,tell me what they say,because the variants have different front facing ones,also they are labeled incorrect as (whichever) are the front facing sensors,they are 5 mega's...completely out of range
we need to gather as myuch info as possible from the variants

I would love to give this ROM a try.

Is anyone still working on trying to get the camera to work? Not such a big loss for me, I have another phone (HTC m8 H/K) that I will take pictures with anyway. Still, it would be nice to have it all working. I'll subscribe to this thread and wait for a fix.

I just backed up my system actually to an SD card, and at this very moment transferring the ROM zip to my sdcard to flash it.

I'll give it a try anyway. I'll let you know if I run into any issues, though I doubt that I will.

I appreciate you taking your time with this tiny phone.
