Nothing special just simple flash and your set. After boot up flip through touchwiz for 5-10 second and then you will be flying smooth & fast.
Update: are you running stock T-Mobile NE6?
Yep, stock rooted

Tbh mate, if you can't figure that out then you really shouldn't be on XDA.
1. Install TWRP
2. Download the zip file
3. Copy it to your phone
4. Flash it with TWRP.
All this could be found out by doing a little reading, if you're not prepared to do that then you really need to consider whether you should be messing with your phone or on XDA at all.
Thanks. Worked like a charm.
Flashed with TWRP on stock rom OTA 20160715 :good:
On Aerom v5 doesn't work. When booted I get the message Sytem UI stopped. Does anyone have a fix?

Reinstated Google assistant fine through the zip. Haven't tried OK Google yet as it's late here in England and my wife won't appreciate me shouting okay Google when she's sleeping!

No need for unroot but you must wipe or flash img with adb , both no unroot need.

Question :
Can we flash firmware and use any other rom?
Do roms come with firmware and if firmware is important, why don't roms come with latest firmware? Is firmware baseband?
Regards
Battery life didn't seem great. Dropped down to 64% battery with only 1hr 20min screen time. While the screen was off I dropped 3% in 15mins. The phone doesn't seem to sleep. Great for notifications but poor for battery.
Everything is OK now. I've been fixed all..
