What this is
This rom is a Stock based rom. this is my version of Stock+ where i aim to provide the best Stock Like Xperiance Posible.

-Firmware Overrides, Kernel Settings tweaked
-Black themed firmware
-Some color accented apps

He'll port the entire Z2 firmware to our device.. it's like a semi-official port (17.1.A.2.55, I guess). If he succeeds, our device will have 4.4.2 KitKat without being CM11 or AOSP ( It'll be AOSP only on the first versions, It seems)
That is right
there are some problems with this hence why this may take a while

i am currently in the process of self teaching C coding lang and other developers arent experianced in porting or even anything of such at all so we learn as we go, do not be supprized when the first alpha versions are very buggy.

however that in mind, although buggy i hope users enjoy the beta atleast :D

Side note
if you want to help out PM me, this is a open comunity kinda thing

uploading the rom to a mirror
