Welcome to TriForceROM
This ROM is designed and developed with the following goals in mind: Stability, Minimal Size, Speed, Flexibility, Performance, Power Saving. IN THAT ORDER, but pretty much a strong balance of everything to provide the best experience your phone can offer.
Thanks list is in Post #2 - If your name is missing from this list, please do not hesitate to point it out, I will gladly add you if you've assisted me.
Usual Disclaimer: You flash this at your own risk... BE SURE TO HAVE A COMPLETE NAND BACKUP. I'm not responsible if your hair suddenly falls out, the neighbors dog comes and eats your newspaper, the zombie apocalypse occurs, or your phone breaks. I'm providing this as-is, no guarantees or promises.
Also... On the topic of "as-is..." Please understand that I'm the one and only person developing this ROM, I also work a regular job and have a fairly busy personal life. So don't expect a Masterpiece, I do what I can, add mods that I can, and fix things when I can. I'm mainly developing this for my own personal use, but figured I might as well share the benefits with everyone else.

Install Instructions
This ROM includes AROMA installer. This gives you customizable options when you go to install the ROM.
You will be prompted for 3 different Options to start: Default, Customize, and Change Mods
The first option(Default) will install TriForceROM as it was intended to be used, with all the mods enabled. Much like the previous releases of TriForceROM.
The second option(Customize) will allow you to pick and choose from the mods available. This is still a full wipe option.
The third option(Change Mods) will allow you to do the same as the above, but will not wipe System or Data, so you can change mods/theme on the go without worrying about wiping your precious data! Simply re-flash the SAME ROM file and select Change Mods, select your new mods and let it flash!
Default and Customize will wipe both Data and System, be sure you have a backup. You must do a full install before you're able to use the Change Mods out. (It won't let you until you are on TriForceROM.)
Again, it will not wipe data or system when you select to Change Mods.
As usual first boot takes a while because it has to rebuild data and cache.
