From the ashes of Project X and Wicked Sensations arises a new beast. KitKat TouchWiz at it's finest.

For everyone's sake please read all 4 posts of the OP. Knowledge is power.

Disclaimer: Your warranty is already void if you have completed the steps to actually flash this ROM, I am not responsible for anything you do with your own device, if you can't follow directions or read that is not my problem.

ISSUES:

Requirement: You must already be on ND8/NJ2 or the equivalent like NDC (KitKat firmware, AOSP doesn't count)(or at least have flashed the tar/OTA)
-Users with the L710T Model go HERE for flashing instructions for your device
IF YOU ARE UNSURE ON THIS PROCESS DIRECT ALL QUESTIONS FOR THIS TO THIS THREAD-HERE
1. Download ROM and copy to SD
2. Check md5sum against the one on AndroidFileHost to ensure a good download (md5sum Checker is free in the Play Store)
3. Reboot into recovery
4. Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik (if coming from a Lollipop ROM you need to wipe internal SD as well- Mounts & Storage->wipe /data & data/media)
5. Flash ROM
6. Reboot
7. Enjoy
