[ROM][Final Test 7 Beta 2.0][Blaze S180]4.1.2 KitKat UI

[NikkoJames15]

INTRODUCTION
This is an improved version of the previous 4.2.2 Alpha series [discontinued]. Features are taken from Android versions 4.2, 4.3 Jelly Bean and 4.4 KitKat. This ROM performance tweaks such as improved CPU profiling and a slight GPU overclock, in addition to the previous tweaks found in the Alpha series.

REGARDING STABILITY
The ROM is stable for gaming.

REGARDING AUTOFOCUS
My Blaze unit has working autofocus on this base ROM (from CM North EDSA Customer Solutions, dumped using MTKDroidTools). Even if it works fine on mine, I can't guarantee it will work on your unit..

Sorry about that, there was an error in the zip file. Just restore the Beta 2.0 backup again for the meantime. Link updated for the Beta 2.0.1 full TWRP backup. Once again refer to OP.
