Gapps:
Gapps 8-13-2013

I'm recommending TWRP 2.6.1.0 for now. I've had issues with 2.6.3.0

Install Directions:
1)Factory Reset
2)Wipe System --- Only if coming from 4.2.2
3)Install Rom and Gapps
4)Allow Rom to boot, Let settle and Enjoy.




KITKAT (Downloads and Install Instructions)

Instructions:
If coming from any previous version of Android, please make sure your recovery wipes out /system and /data. Also make sure you get KitKat Gapps (links below).
If coming from any other iteration of Kit Kat, make sure you wipe out /system and /data. It could cause bugs to happen that shouldn't be there. (You are now Warned)
....................................................................................
1. Make a Nandroid, CWM recovery (I used Philz Touch)
2. Factory Reset, Wipe /system (make sure your recovery wipes /data too)
3. Install CyanFox 2.0.1+
4. Install Gapps Package
5. Reboot and let settle (10 mins) Set up phone now, or switch to ART (this is a suggestion to help make the switch over faster.. Less apps = less time to get back to running the Rom).
6. (optional) If you switched over to ART, let phone settle for a few more minutes as it is repopulating the cache. Make sure you use OnDemand for your Governor(default is Interactive)
7. Set up phone, Install your apps, Reboot and Enjoy!

This ROM is super cool. Good take on a CM 10.2. I think if you XDers want a little different feel of 10.2 than this is for you. I liked it a lot and feel y'all will too

Stupid question, but how do I flash this rom?

Used TWRP 2.6.1.0 as suggested, but failed.

Don't know what the file ending with md5 has something to do with it?

Are you attempting to flash an MD5 file? Because that will definitely not work.

I've ran into that one. Just go to options and reboot into recovery again. If it asks to install su please do so. Then it should install after the reboot.

It did ask me to install su after I installed TWRP, and I did so already... :(
