Instructions:
1. Download the Rom and Gapps and place in the root of your internal storage
2. Boot into TWRP. (Making a backup before flashing is always recommended)
3. I always recoomend clean flashing coming from any rom. To do so go to Wipe and swipe to perform a factory reset. I also personaly go to advanced wipe and checkmark all but internal storage and wipe there too.
4. Flash ROM and Gapps under Install
5. Reboot and enjoy.

By any chance does the kernel support OTG+fast chsrging? I've used Desolation Rom in the past for a different device but don't recall if it did or not.

This certainly looks interesting! Can you have data/cache F2FS, or will that not work?

Thanks. I did see not F2FS, fwiw...just wasn't sure if that meant not all F2FS or none at all. Didn't want that to come off as a stupid question.

This will never be made for all F2FS. F2fs on system has little to no benefit anyway.

Very nice rom! Some cool extra features, good looking boot animation and I especially like that you chose layers. Just briefly looking around, I found that you can't select "none" or "swipe" (startup default is already swipe) for lockscreen in security settings. I never use a lockscreen, so I would definitely like to be able to disable it.
It appears that those 2 options are "disabled by administrator encryption policy or credential storage", which is what the ghosted out message reads under those selections.
As always, thanks for your work.

We've been hard at work backtracking that issue. Enjoy!

Thanks, great to see at least some devs have not ditched this device, which is still OK peace of hardware.
Though appetites have grown, and most users now want 4GB to feel comfortable...

Great rom! Using it now on grouper AND falcon as daily driver. Snappy and stable. Big thanks to the developers.

---

Checked latest kernel found on download page which really gives a better performance feeling on this rom

Working on further updates to it. Good to hear. I very rarely use the tablet much any more.
