I don't know, others are able to install the rom just fine. At this point we're just repeating the same stuff and getting nowhere. I suggest looking around for another rom and see if you have better luck with it. Remember I don't own this phone so I can't really help much more.

Good luck

Make a backup, wipe all data, flash rom, reboot. Make sure you wipe before flashing, not after. Otherwise try a different recovery like TWRP, it must be the recovery if it still doesn't work.
 
Really like the ROM, but it only finds the front facing camera. Would obviously like to still use the rear facing camera for pictures. Is there any setting that I cam missing?
 
After going over the very simple instructions I noticed that it says updated busybox binary, Do you still download busybox off playstore? Or is the binary included without the need for playstores?
 
Seams like in playstore it would have shown up as my already having busybox. I did a clean wipe I took sd out even checked everybox. Wow this is crazy. Ok thanks man.
 
Ok uninstalled busybox rebooted to make sure any changes went into effect and installed busybox checker busybox is all there so ya I didnt need to install busybox app. All the binarys must be included with ROM, ok thanks ya I didnt need to install busybox seperately I got it.
 
This ROM deffinetly works bro I had alot of unecessary trouble myself due to not following directions. You dont have to do this but since youre having trouble take youre SD card out and check each box in Advanced wipe section and slide the factory reset slider button at bottom of recovery page inside TWRP. I assume youre using TWRP if not then Philz, CMW whatever youre using same deal. If you wipe completely and correctly you are going to have to allow SuperSU rights to take again from inside youre custom recovery, I recomend lte recovery by Hroark13 hope I spelled that right.

Try to read, read, read, these guys know what works and dont so if they say it works for them and others than youre not doing somthing right PERIOD. dont feel bad man I messed up alot at first and still have questions but more than likely youre questions have been answered already, search the forums. These guys are repeating themselves alot due to ppl jumpin in to ROM's without reading up on the proper proceedures.

I know it can seem overwhelming but its really so simple after you get it all down you will be flashing all the cool ROM's that are built for youre device in no time! Happy Flashing!
 
Camera works great. Like myself at first youre not getting somthing right. I use TWRP so I cant help you with any of any other recoverys proceedures. But this ROM is fine IF you follow directions to a T.

Since you're having an issue with recovery head over to the recovery thread and trouble shoot your issue there. We have gone back and forth plenty on this thread trying to get your issue resolved to no success. There's no point in repeating the same stuff over and over. The way to install the rom is not gonna change... You do a full wipe and then flash the rom as per the instructions already listed.
 
GameTheory, I just want to say that I installed your rom with the Freedom kernel (overclocked). After I had massive battery-drain, I chose to install WakeLock Terminator and added filters to Google Play Services. All problems fixed.

The phone has worked wonderfully. I get an average battery life of 20 hours and it's very fast. Thank you for your hard work!
 
Freedom kernel can help save battery as well by underclocking as needed. Not sure why or how freedom kernel eat up you're battery unless you keep er at or around Max overclocking ability of the Freedom kernel like 24/7 but a to each his own glad she's running well bud
