Nice to see more devs for sprint. Not to be smart or anything, but whats the difference between this and Heros rom?
Well there are a bunch of differences: we have the theme stuff incorporated into this rom as well as different tweaks, apps, and optimizations etc. Suggest you download it yourself and you'll see the differences.

Rom has been running great since I flashed it last night, very nice job on this. Snappy and smooth as expected. My custom keyboards are flashing fine on this rom as well. Would like to thank you all for this rom and all of the valuable help you all have given in the Modding Sense 6 thread. It has been a huge help in the process of learning to work with Htc and Sense.

Just flashed this awhile ago, but ended up switching roms (just to see what others offered). That said, I'm about to reflash this, I loved the inverted theme you can choose right in recovery but I was curious about one thing. Does choosing the Odexed option allow you to use ART runtime and also does it break any of the tweaks in the rom?

Glad your back :D

Nah atm there is no way to use art if your using a rom with modified apks.

Stockish roms (not mentioning any names) are the only ones where you can use art as of yet
