Installation instructions:

Before anything else, BACKUP your existing DATA. I will not be held responsible for lost data. You have been warned.

1. Simply download the zip file
2. Open and install using CWM or TWRP
3. During install you will have the option to install also "Repartition"
4. If you choose "Repartition" your data will be FORMATTED and WIPED. However, after installation, go back to the recovery screen and wipe data again if you want to be sure.
5. After FIRST BOOT, open the launcher, search for "Xposed Installer", click on it to open.
6. Simply click on "Install/Update" to set up the Xposed Framework (Grant it root access)
7. After installing the Xposed Framework, don't reboot yet. Click on the "Modules" tab.
8. Put a check on GravityBox then click on GravityBox
9. Gravity Box is a set of tools/tweaks for the MT6589 chipset for added features. You may customize your own, but here is my personal configuration:
Lockscreen Tweaks - no choice
Statusbar Tweaks:
Statusbar QuickSettings tiles - checked all
Battery indicator style - circle battery with percentage
Auto-hide signal icons - check all
Power Tweaks: - Advanced power-off menu (checked)
Display Tweaks: - CRT screen off effect (checked)
Media Tweaks: - More music volume steps (checked), Safe headset media volume (checked)
Miscellaneous Tweaks - none
General fixes - Advanced developer options (checked)
10. Once configured, reboot
11. Start using your phone

!!!Note: Please don't give negative comments about the rom not showing anything new or special compared to other roms. Again, I focused on performance and stability. Also, you may think that the tweaks here are only the xposed framework and gravitybox, there are others under the hood that have been customized and checked for the A919i.
