Is there any way to apply torchlight fix to frank ROM as a flashable zip?

Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Forums

 

[Rock-86]

I flashed the testing version. It works like a charm!

 

[bassbox]

So with this I can just login after start and use google restore and also my apps will be able to backup to drive when the developer implemented it? Or do I still need to set permissions for gapps?

//Edit: Cmon, I just flashed da **** Yeah works as stated above.

 

[finchi]

What's new in testing? And what does it mean no ROOTed. Aren't those custom kernels, rooted already? (noob question).
Many thanks.

Ah sorry. I mistook lines. I was reading it like Oct/21/2015 : 20151021 (testing) and nothing there. (feeling stupid)

 

[bassbox]

Shouldn't a long press on the recent square switch to the previously used app? It does not work in this rom but did on franks. This was really cool.
Camera is launched on double tap on home circle oO nice

And rooting feature that other roms have, is not provided as default for security reason.

Hmm seems interesting seeing that 3 days left on the battery page screenshot . I have not seen mine say more than a little over a day left since a LP ROM I had a very very long time ago where 3 days was almost actually what I got pretty darn close to a few times . Very cool
Update- just checked and at 91% left its says 14 hrs left lol. But I'm currently running a different Android 6.0 ROM but must say hands down this Marshmallow is the FASTEST/smoothest I've ever seen my N4 run. Hell was gunna get me a N6 or the newer N5 so I could use my google fi invite but Im very happy with my device speed that I'm not sure I want to atm now .
