One interesting thing about the android Operating system is that fact that it is very much easy to customize than any other mobile OS. Apart from the fact that devices from big brands are considered as more durable and fashionable, techie guys tend to go for big-brand phones because their custom ROMs are quite easy to find online.
I remember when I was using the Sony Xperia X10i (years back), I could easily source for custom roms online and choose to install anyone that catches my fantasy. I recall changing the custom Rom on that phone more than once. It was really interesting. Honestly!

will this work on my Infinix x403?
No Kofi, it’s specifically for the hot note and hot note pro.
Am just concerned about the CODE that makes the phone send text to that weird number without my consent. It is a concern raised by many.. just google that number and youll see. untill i find legitimate logical reason why it sends such texts am not touching that rom. Protect your data. It informs the number top track my IMEI….and that does not make any sense to a logical reasonable smart person.
I installed the rom and I realized the accelerometer does not work any one with a fix for this
Hey dean, download MTK Engineering Mode by the monster from google play and configure the sensor by calibtrating it.
