About the Aphrodite Family:
Harmonia, daughter of Aphrodite, is the immortal goddess of harmony and concord. Aphrodite was known for her beauty and the goddess of love, all things this rom embodies. The Aphrodite Rom started off on the Optimus V and evolved into Harmonia and then spread to several other phones.
The idea of the Aphrodite line is pretty much a bare rom, based or as close as possible to what a stock rom should have been, that you add your themes and such to (there is beauty in simplicity, which is what lead to the name). You won't find any bloat, what is here is here because it needs to be and not much more. This allows you to create the phone you want without anything you don't want or need. Just a lean, mean phone, your way.
Warning
While I do all I can to ensure my roms and things work properly, things do happen, so use it at your own risk.
Download
Note: You do NOT need S-off, to use this, but you do need root. If you are S-On you will either have to stick with the stock kernel (which works fine just a touch slower), or flash in two parts using 4EXT.
Harmonia 3.17 Donate here if you feel inclined to brighten my day.

GooManager users can download and install right from the app (wipe everything)!
Updating from 3.13 and later should work, updating from earlier may create issues. If you have a problem, try a fresh install before asking questions. Be sure to wipe cache and Dalvik if updating.
WARNINGS And Known Issues!!!!
Updating has been known to create issues!
Don't be surprised if the install takes 6 or 7 minutes, or if the first boot takes 3 or 4 minutes.
To upgrade from any previous version of Harmonia 3.x, wipe cache, system, and wipe Dalvik, then flash. You may lose some storage, so as always do a backup first. If you have issues, do a complete wipe. All others do a complete wipe (which is always recommended for everyone).
Wireless ADB (doesn't work)
Some of the statusbar tweaks may not work or may not work properly, I can't do anything about this. Anthrax Kernel could crash the rom if you use it due to the Leedroid (quick setting) tweaks.
Don't mess with power management through the Hidden Settings app or in Leedroid, you won't accomplish anything except waste your battery.

TWRP 2 and GooManager... GooManager (included in the rom) is an update utility that can download and flash roms and recoveries. However it needs TWRP 2 recovery or a compatible recovery. If you go into GooManager, and go to settings, "download opensource recovery", it will download and install this recovery for you. This is entirely free and more secure than some other, similar, update methods. If you switch recoveries, check that the recovery works and make a backup before you go flashing away. Make a backup before changing recoveries, then after. This way you know you have a backup for each, and no TWRP 1 backups are not compatible with TWRP 2.
