Thank you so much for all the support. Looks like I'm gonna have to order the S4 or S5 or Nexus 5 since the LG Volt ROM support is pretty much over. I appreciate a great deal for what you did.

I'm gonna be moving on to the Nexus 5, Galaxy S4/S5 and creating and working on ROMs on that as well. Building another pc so i can go back to making ROMs. I recommend everyone upgrade their phone since this one is gonna lose alot of support. Like the LG stylo or Volt 2. I hear those are getting some support. Or any of the phones I'm getting.

Wow, that's a shame :( your work here has breathed new life into an already awesome device, and you kinda inspired me to get into ROM building myself. Without you, nine of what we have now could exist.

With that being said... What will happen to all your work? Will it become open sourced, as others have mentioned/requested? Or will you pass it off to another dev? Whichever the case, I know a few of us still have working dev machines and can continue to work on this device.

We all wish you luck with your next device, and hope your work (if you become a dev for your new phone) is just as appreciated (if not more so) there as it is here.

Might have to confiscate my daughters phone just to keep things going. Thanks for the appreciation, but know that it was more if a collaborative effort than just me.

I will also post my sources even though nothing is working for cm13. I should have a newer cm 12.1 build uploaded tommorrow.

This version is the latest or am I missing something?

Thanks for all the work you have done!! Hope that mediatek works out for you; for me, the processor is one of the worst i have tried out of allwinner, rockchip, qualcomm, and Texas Inst. I have the quad core version at 1.3ghz with a powerVR gpu and the processor is to slow to play games lmao also it cant even standby for more then a day. i bricked the tablet and there is no way to recover this one i have so i sent it back for replacement, and havent even touched it since. I would try there 2ghz+ chips next time and remember that processor count 8 cpu doesnt matter if the software your using doesn't utilize it.
notice how the new ARM chips dropped most of the cores! even back down to dual core for top tier chip.

Thanks for your work on the Volt. I actually ordered the same phone but missed out on the sale and had to pay $149. I killed my volt also so I started using my Blu Life One LTE I've had laying around. Its pretty decent but wanted a bit more storage and Ram so I decided to try the Life One X. Hopefully it's a decent phone. Stuck waiting for it to come back in stock so let me know how you like it if you get yours first.

Hey Bad_mofo again thanks for being help full in here..i order that phone first day you posted it.Anyway my question is since this come with lollipop and newest update already announced. Is it worth mod,root adding rom in such
Probably root would only be necessary. As far as roms go, not really needed, but i will probably try, it's in my nature to try to fix things that aren't broken
