Disclaimers:

1. Your warranty is now void. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about the features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

2. Dirty flash at your own risk. In case of a bootloop, try flashing the previous build.

3. Always back up your data. No one but you is responsible for keeping your data safe.

4. This ROM ships with OOS 16.0.3.500 firmware. Make sure to NOT flash any other ROM with firmware older than 16.0.3.500 after flashing this build, or else you could risk bricking your device
