You know the drill, so here's the warning...
You're flashing this at your own risk and I'm not responsible.

Instructions:

1. (optional) Backup apps, call logs, and messages with Titanium

* Do not skip any of these next steps *

2. Boot into recovery and do a nandroid backup
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe cache
5. Advanced - Wipe dalvik cache
6. Install zip from SD
7. First boot takes a couple minutes (don't panic) this is normal on first boot to rebuild dalvik cache.
--------------------------------------------
8. (optional) Once the rom is installed you can restore apps, call log, and messages.
9. Do not restore system settings... Settings from old rom to new rom can cause bugs.

So this ROM doesn't work with the phablet mod that sucks oh well great ROM looks awesome
 
My Spirit has been brought to life again! Thanks for the awesome ROM GT... but how do I change the dialer? This dialer has a grey background, can I get rid of that?
 
So when playing music on this ROM it starts to get choppy even when simply scrolling I thought it was just temple run but it's not so any ideas should I flash pgs kernel (which seems to have a problem with draining battery and getting a bit warm or flash gts kernel which I have not tested a full weeks like I did pgs suggestions
 
Any overclock kernel will cause battery to drain faster and for the phone to get warmer since more voltage is required to overclock.

GT ..I'm very tempted to install the Samurai Rom. I love Katana and also liked Icy Spirit..you do great work. I have yet to be able to view video online (Using Firefox). Is there a way to see online movies?

Thanks again for all you do...Tom

Thanks ;)

This phone doesn't come with flash installed when you buy it. You would need to install flash and a browser that supports flash to watch videos in your browser. I don't use firefox on my phone or watch videos in the browser so hopefully someone will have some suggestions for you.

Here's the thread where you can possibly get flash from...
Sticky: New Flash Player

GT, Thanks for the reply . Installed Flash and at first glance seems to work. What browser do you use? I tried dolphin awhile back but still use FF because I'm familiar with it.

Thanks again..........Tom
 
So how do I turn off lock screen rotation because that is really making me mad and gives my phone incredible lag spikes and drains my battery plz HOW DO I TURN IT OFF
 
How does theme chooser work can it been installed like Apollo was installed via cwm our is there extra code behind the scene because it would be cool to have this integrated into your Roms GT just wanted to ask about that
