Thanks for this. Much appreciated.

I’ve had a go at flashing this rom with the recommended TWRP and it says “Updater process ended with error 7” when I try to flash the zip. I have wiped the phone before doing this.  Any idea what might be wrong. I have flashed S4 minis before.

Also the link to Mindthegapps doesn’t seem to work and I would very much like to use the recommended Gapps.
