2. Similar performance to Kitkat.
3. Game play nice and fluid.

This version I had to find in Google and got the fourth link from the top on FileFactory
The performance of both of them seemed pretty much the same as kitkat 4.4.4 the interface was more fluid like or smoother it seems. Downloading apps was faster but installing apps was different, slower for some reason but that could be due to I wasn’t using a rom build for the exact model I have.
Any chance you could let me have the second ROM
