Initial testing -
- No screenshot tile instead of that screen record present..
- Navigation Button enable option missing for enable that.
- sweetener pack for candy ROM not working tried in twrp it reboot the device into system after flashing zip.
- recent app clear all location option only 2.. Need more
- hardware keys disabled option missing after enable navigation button ( don't know it's there in official candy 5 rom but it's great if it's there )*

It's 1st build so guys test and report issue so that dev can fix this and we get rock solid build in update..;)

Thanks dev for ROM..:thumbup:

Initial feeling and review

Good work bro! Thanks to @OP

Installation hurdles:
1. Please mention it in OP that it requires extended system. It won't install on stock partition. Will give error status 7 ?.
2. Flashes fine with CWM.
3. Candy sweetner download link is down so couldn't try that out!
4. No need to flash super su zip. The ROM is prerooted.

Initial booting:
1. Takes a lot of time for first boot ( although good things always come after some patience! :p)
2. Telephone gets activated after a few seconds.
3. No custom Boot animation :(.

Review:
1. ROM is based on stuxnet kernel.
2. Has CM 12 theme engine which is just great.
3. Its totally purely awesomely customisable. Tons of options to customize it. Just click Candy Interface.
4. Battery looks fine.
5. Camera has HDR bug but 4K ? recording works which is why i am in love with lollipop :).
6. Stock Cm 12 Music app is present.
7. OMNI Switch is present which is just an added candy :p .
8. Audio equaliser is present and configurable directly from the app drawer.
9. Weather shows up automatically in notification shade which is quite awesome ( courtesy to yahoo weather).
10.FM radio is present which was missing in some other ROMS although no offense to any DEV, You guys are just awesome.
11. Ram Management is just excellent. No words for it :)
I am loving anything and everything about the rom ? .

Anything else you want, You just gotta ask for!
