Will it work for nk2 also?

 

[lpcar04]

I haven't tried any other Firmwares as of now so I don't know NI2 is fully stable

glad to see another dev putting something out there! keep it up!

(NK2 formware should work but its always recommended to use firmware for the particular rom build so they match)

15 years old?! Keep it up buddy, that's impressive! (To my dumb ass anyway, lol)

 

[KaptinBoxxi]

this is more curiosity than anything

if you debloated it, why is it still over 1.33 gigs in size? every debloated rom i've seen, and the one i personally made, were around 600 megs (when extreme debloat comes in), or average about 850 megs... is it the stuff you added?

For what's worth.

I tried installing this ROM 3 times and all of them failed.

I downloaded with different browsers and even transfer it from my pc to my phone, but sadly I still got the same issue.

 

[UnshiftedStorm]

Let's go Lollipop~

 

[UnshiftedStorm]

How would we install this ROM then?

 

[lpcar04]

I'm working on a new Lollipop Version so keep checking up. I'm also trying to fix the update-binary issue witch is proving to be difficult but I've made some progress

 

[machhho]

can you please post the NK2 stock touchwiz launcher apk or in a flashable zip format !

thanks

I had the same issue. Downloaded twice, verified md5 both times. Verified md5 again after transferring to sdcard. The uploaded file appears to be incomplete.
