Code:
v3.1 universal(17/OCT/11)
Removed Paid apps: Root Explorer, Juice Defender Ultimate
Added free version of Juice Defender basic
## FAQ Updated
v3.0 universal(15/OCT/11)
Initial Universal Release
FAQ:
Do I need to or will it Wipe Data ?
NO, it can be installed easily on your stock/custom MIUI Rom.
I have to place some icons myself like Radio icon, blah blah blah..
As this MOD is developed on Vibrant. You may need to move your ass and do place 1-2 icons yourself wherever you like. Else send me one I9000.
What kernel are you using in this??
NO kernel included in this mod. It is always recommended to flash desired kernel before this MOD to ensure tweaks remain intact. Recommended to set max freq to 1000MHz for better battery life.
My icons seems misplaced?
This happens when internal update takes place. Place it back in respective folder.
My widget disappeared, what do I do next?
Nothing. Keep data connection on. And give a reboot.
It will appear. If not remove and re-add by long press.
The Live Wallpaper provided goes into half loaded state on each homescreen, what do I do?
Nothing, it will fix itself. However, if you want quick fix.. use Auto Killer and Kill all apps.
Is this available for or Can I use this for <some other> phone?
You can always try Universal Version.
I am not getting theme applied, no maps, no custom apps??
Definitely, you didnt followed STEP 4 of mounting data, datadata, system, sdcard.
I am getting <some weird> problem??
If you followed and read OP carefully. Be calmed, you did nothing wrong.
The problem you facing is most probably from source MIUI ROM. This MOD only intends to add more functionality.

Looks very tempting indeed. Will have to wait til this evening and flash at home......anyone else giving this a try?
so its like theme mod? is there any requirements for the miui ROM? i mean like before 10.14 or after
Guys don't flash this yet. I'm the reason it's here, and it is not ready for our phones yet.
OP, I told you this wasn't working, I'm sorry for my initial positive pm but this definitely will not work for our phones. It causes an android.phone FC which as far as I can tell is because it has a build.prop from the vibrant. I couldn't find anything else that would cause the error I got in my report. So once you fix that it should be ready... until then nobody try this unless you make nandroids first and just want to doublecheck.

Thanks sage! Saved me a headache this afternoon. OP this looks great, I will flash when I know its functional on our fascinates.

yep. I had actually approached the dev asking if he could port it to our phones a few days ago and he told me to try that which didn't work for me. I got the reports sent out and figured out it was killing the cdma radio somehow, giving a stack exception when trying to connect.

well looks like i eff'd up and flashed this too. man this some bull.
Can't wait for the this to be worked out. Looks very nice!
Agreed...this looks great and I'm glad I read the posts before flashing as it looks like it needs to go back in the oven for a bit. Hope it can be worked out for our phones as this would be very nice to have working

2.4.13 (contains changes from 1.29.13):
Added Aroma installer. All "custom" options now install as designed.
Not sure if I mentioned it last week, but I updated the MIUIHome's default layout to take "Talk" out of that stupid "recommended" folder and just put it on the desktop. Also took and put "themes" and "settings" into the "tools" folder on the main page and changed the layout so that they're all in the same row. In the future, I plan on switching the MIUI search widget with the google one...just haven't gotten there yet.
Coolspace Deluxe theme is included by default, but not installed. Updated to 2.1 to fix various issues with missing app themes and framework-res 9pings being screwed. Installer will copy it to /SDCard, where you can then import it from Theme manager.

Moved Gmail, Maps, Kernel Tuner, Gamecenter, MiuiVideo, and Goo.im to the "optional" category as well, and set their install location to /data/app instead of /system/app to allow for removal if desired.
Wipe menu - for future use, you can choose to leave data sections untouched and do a dirty flash.
Added 9S weather, 2 different FLV players, TrevE's wifi tether app, Playstation certification, and Online Nandroid backup app as optional installs (in addition to others mentioned).
Updated to 3.3 MAC kernel.
Fixed boot animation sometimes causes OOM issues due to size by deleting half the frames used.
Modified goo setting in build.prop to hopefully fix the issue where it always shows an old update in current.
Attempted MMS fix for Virgin users may/may not work - will be fixed "fo sho" next week.

How to report a bug the right way
Allright...
Been getting a lot of bug reports lately, and the vast majority of them don't have any kind of system information included whatsoever. People just blurt out stuff like "Camera ain't workin'", and expect me to go "Oooooooh. Your camera don't work. Please, allow me to customize you a script to fix it based on that thorough explanation of the issues."
To be fair, there are some issues that may be simple to replicate and don't require a lot of information to track down. Stuff like "This program is missing" or "the cap button backlights misbehave from time to time".
For all the other stuff...there is a right way and a wrong way to ask for help.
The wrong way involves complaining about the issue while providing as little info as possible. Degrading the ROM itself is a nice touch. You know, like "This POS won't boot."
That, my friends, will get you one reply...which will be me telling you you'd probably be better off using a ROM that doesn't require common sense to run.
The RIGHT way to ask for help involves the following:
1. Provide as much information about your system as possible. This includes, but is not limited to, the following pieces of information:
a. What Hboot version you are using.
b. Your S-off status.
c. What recovery you're using.
d. What firmware you're using.
e. A detailed description of the issue. When it happens, the frequency, anything that you do that causes it to happen...tell me what I need to do to make it happen on my phone.
Additionally, for issues related to hardware (camera, data, screen, wifi) - and hell, for any issue, it is more often than not a good idea to include a logcat.
A logcat is like a system log...it runs as soon as your phone starts up, and it tells me when something goes wrong so I can try to figure out why. A logcat will make the difference between me yelling at you, and me being very grateful for your thoughtful and well-constructed request for assistance.
Now, for some odd reason, it seems that every time I ask someone for a logcat, they make a face like this at me, , and then vanish off the face of the planet.
Contrary to what you may think...bugs bother me. A lot. The majority of nights end with me lying in bed thinking about the first thing I'm going to attempt to fix tomorrow.
SO, when you post saying something doesn't work, and then I say "get me a logcat, please", and you switch to a Sense ROM and don't look back...it helps nobody.
With all that said...below is a link to some very simple instructions for how to install Android SDK and do a logcat. It's pretty damned simple. If you can follow instructions for flashing a ROM, then you should be able to do this.
http://www.shahz.net/android/adb-installation-and-how-to-logcat.html
If THAT is too daunting for you, then the next step would be to get Alogcat from the market.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&hl=en
Alogcat is even easier. Something crappy happens...you open alogcat, save the output, and send it to me.
Can we do that? Please? I'm so tired of asking for a logcat around every turn. Help me help you.
Cool, thanks! I'm DL'ing now. Quick question: What is the default kernel for this rom? I plan on flashing Chad's, but was just curious. Also, I have a feature suggestion: for the default MIUI launcher, would there be any way to add a 5th row? I know there was a mod on XDA for this a while back, but it became incompatible months ago.
Anyway, thanks for the hard work. I'm especially excited to try out the VC control script on this, that was a great idea.
Edit: Nice boot animation!
Well then. Here we go. Fire up boot manager!

The default kernel is still Tiamat. I haven't checked to see which it is right now, but I will throw in one that supports the higher OC in a future release.
I can also check on the 5th row bit for default MIUI launcher.
Thank you for your help DH,
Please don't forget to add the date in the title so it makes it easier for us to know when updates are posted.

Duly noted.
so this is 2.3.23 as it says. Does that mean its miui ics? and your camera works??? i already downloaded for bootmanager
Looking into the layout for the default launcher, you can change rows/columns in the launcher settings. Rom has been stable so far, runs pretty smooth.
Edit: If anyone's performance is laggy, I noticed that the default awake governor was set to conservative. When I moved to ondemand, the rom became much more smooth.

I believe that it's still the Gingerbread base, but with some ICS features baked in. I'll be updating the OP eventually here with images, the official changelog, as well as everything I've done.

Looking into the layout for the default launcher, you can change rows/columns in the launcher settings. Rom has been stable so far, runs pretty smooth.
Edit: If anyone's performance is laggy, I noticed that the default awake governor was set to conservative. When I moved to ondemand, the rom became much more smooth.

Yes, sorry, that was the last change I made last night before compiling. I had it set to intellianthrax, which caused the issue I described in the OP.

That will definitely help catch people's attention.
Either way I will be trying this rom out the moment I get home from work/school.

I stand corrected. The changelog I looked at showed the features for both builds, I just wasn't paying attention.
Sorry for the confusion.
I'm just curious - has anybody had a chance to try bluetooth yet??

Didn't try bluetooth, but I noticed initial setup when signing into your google account FC's.
the only problem I've seen yet, is widget sizing. My Widgets aren't showing correctly, they usually stretch to the edge of the homescreen. Now however, they are shrunk a little. I think its a qHD bug?

Credit where credit is due:
As with any open source stuff, some of this work is my own, most of it comes from other sources. So in addition to my own work (mostly in the "mean" category), here's a quick thanks to those of you who contributed knowingly (thank you) and not-so-knowingly via open source 5 finger discount (thank you just the same: your stuff is good and that's why I used it). Sometimes it's not entirely obvious where the source started so if I missed someone, please let me know and I'll add you. Also, I'm careful to only include other work where the author does not specify any usage restrictions or has given approval. If you believe, however, that I've included something that shouldn't be in this ROM, please just PM me.
Credit Scott for the deodexed stock base!
Thanks banccalif for the graphics!
Other credits: I list them in the features section above and give links to the original works so you can donate to other devs for specific mods you like!
Want my stuff?:
I list credits in the features section above and links to original works: if you see something credited there and you want to use it, click the link and seek permission from the developer I've credited. If you see something in this ROM and I don't reference some other source, I probably coded it myself. If you want it: take it and use it in your ROM, your theme, whatever you like. I just ask that you please credit me. I'm a firm believer in Android and open source so you don't even have to ask. Anything you see here... it's yours for just the price of a simple line crediting me. I always share as I believe that's the way we developers put the power in Android... and one way we can fight "the Apple brainwashing machine".
Below are some pointers on updating your firmware, installing recoveries, modding, etc. before we get to the good stuff (installation and downloads).
CHANGELOG:
See post #2
Problems after you flash?:
PLEASE DO NOT REPORT PROBLEMS IN THIS THREAD UNTIL you've done a full wipe and fresh install to see if that cures it. I know I should really just do like most devs and proclaim REQUIRES FULL WIPE/FRESH INSTALL on every version. That saves me a lot of headaches but I know what a PITA a fresh install can be even with MyBackup or Titanium at your disposal. So it never hurts to try just a flash without a full wipe, but if you run into any HINT of a problem... anything at all... don't report the problem in this thread until you've tried a full wipe and fresh install first to see if that cures the problem!
Note regarding tweaks: don't flash tweaks or themes on top unless you KNOW the tweak/theme is compatible with the the DMC3 base
Installation - a final note:
First, the usual disclaimers. I supply the ammo, you use it. ROMS don't kill phones, n00bs do. Use this ROM at your own risk as I won't be responsible for bricks or any other untoward happenings. I spent a lot of time ensuring that the stuff in this ROM is fast, smooth, and compatible. But... it always helps to have some familiarity with flashing ROMs to keep yourself safe.
Download links are below
If you've never rooted your phone and it is completely stock on the latest LL4 base, I would recommend rooting your phone using this thread. It's the easiest method I've found and when you're done, your phone is completely prepped for flashing ROMs
Now to installation of the ROM itself...
Always make a Nandroid backup before installing anything on your phone!
On first install of MeanBean, do a full wipe (at least a factory reset)
Subsequent updates: no wiping necessary BUT...
If you have any trouble at all, do a full wipe and then reinstall
Install using TWRP recovery
On first boot, open "Power Toggles" app and set up your desired toggles
Read the "The international base and VZW compatibility" below
The international base and VZW compatibility
Many people ask "how is ICE different than the regular MeanBean for the VZW Note 2"? With MeanBean ICE, you get Samsung's most recent software which is more up-to-date than what Verizon releases. As a result of running a more recent version, the international base is slightly faster at opening, switching, and closing apps and some other operations thanks to Android 4.1.2: Verizon's latest is based on Android 4.1.1. The international base also gives you access to your Samsung account which you don't get with Verizon.
Verizon Visual Voicemail
While MeanBean ICE is "patched" for Verizon compatibility and every effort has been made to address the "weak spots" reported in many threads by Verizon users running the international ROM base such as GPS and VZW app compatibility, a few people have reported difficulty in playing back messages if you subscribe to Verizon Visual Voice Mail. I've addressed these to the extent possible and for most people, all VZW apps will work properly. If, however, you are one of the unlucky few (or maybe I should say lucky as I'm about to save you $3/mo) who are unable to use Visual Voice Mail on your particular device (there seems to be a lot of variation between devices), I would suggest dumping the (truly non-visual) Visual Voice Mail and spending the ~15 minutes setting up a free Google Voice Lite account to handle your voicemail. It is far more powerful than the Verizon VVM and is actually visual (transcribes)... all without the $3/mo fee! Other than what has been mentioned, you should find that all aspects of your phone (including Verizon apps) work properly. As it is quite an effort to address every unique user's setups, if you do run into any difficulty, just reply here in the thread.
GPS
GPS is working 100%. GPS will work for about 95% of people right out of the box, no extra effort required. If you have trouble with GPS, however, just flash my VZW based MeanBean first, get a GPS lock, and then flash back to MeanBean ICE. That should correct the issue for those unlucky few who have trouble. There appears to be some non-volatile RAM associated with the GPS that is unaffected by wiping (factory reset) and this process appears to clear/fix those rare GPS issues.
... you're gonna break it!
Don't flash any other mods, tweaks, or themes unless they specifically say they are built for (the latest version of) MeanBean or you WILL break features in this ROM and/or cause instability! While this ROM is designed to have the general look/feel of the stock ROM, it is highly customized under the hood and mods, tweaks, or themes not designed specifically for this ROM will cause problems. If you want this ROM to run perfectly without any issues, do not flash anything on top.

Sticky Debloating
Sticky debloating is done using a simple install script located in /data/MeanBean.blt. Here are the instructions on how to use sticky debloating:
First time you use sticky debloating
We set up sticky debloating by flashing the bloat definitions template which contains a list of common bloat items:
Reboot to TWRP and flash /sdcard/MeanBean/stickybloat.zip (also located in /data/MeanBean/stickybloat.zip if not on your SD card)
The bloat definitions file (/data/MeanBean.blt) will be created
This file does nothing until you edit it (below)
Boot normally and continue below to edit the bloat definitions
Each time you change the bloat definitions
We simply edit the /data/MeanBean.blt definitions to our liking:
Use Root Explorer or the included ES File Explorer in root mode and open /data/MeanBean.blt (don't use a PC to pull/push the file else it may be corrupted)
Follow the directions at the top of the file, editing each line as appropriate for your debloating
Back out of Root Explorer/ES File Explorer, saving the file on the way out
If you used ES File Explorer, it fouls up permissions on the saved file: long hold on the file after saving it, then scroll to "Properties" at the bottom, click "Change" and check ALL permission boxes!
Reboot to TWRP and relfash the ROM! You must reflash the ROM to make the changes stick
Now each time you dirty flash an updated version of the ROM, it will be debloated
Notes on debloating
Debloating is done via a simple script that removes what you don't like: the ROM install script runs this debloating script each time as part of the install process, so installing a new ROM version 1.06 or later will result in the ROM automatically being debloated. Obviously if you get creative and do other stuff in this debloating script, adding items that are not in the standard template. If you run into trouble though, you can always reflash /sdcard/MeanBean/stickybloat.zip (or /data/MeanBean/stickybloat.zip) to "nullify" the debloating and start over.
Debloating example - debloating Google Play Books
Original code in the MeanBean.blt file:
Code:
## Google Play Books
#rm /system/app/Books.apk
To debloat, simply remove the hashtag on the code line like this:
Code:
## Google Play Books
rm /system/app/Books.apk
Sticky Settings
Options that affect ROM performance and appearance can be found in the sticky settings Aroma installer. This file can be found on /sdcard/MeanBean/stickysettings.zip after flashing the ROM. Simply flash the file via TWRP recovery and select the options you desire. Once you make your selections, your selections will survive dirty flashes (for example, when you flash updates without wiping data)... hence the name "sticky settings". Just select what you want once and forget about it!
Note about the version number that displays on sticky settings install
The version number that displays when you run the sticky settings corresponds to the last version of MeanBean where the sticky settings had to be changed. As a result, the version number of the sticky settings will rarely match the version number of the ROM because the sticky settings are not changed with every ROM version.
Available sticky settings
4x4 or 4x5 launcher (default 4x4)
Infinite scrolling - whether or not the launcher wraps around at the end points
Choice of dim/stock or bright/transparent status bar (If using the bright status bar, test for potential screen burn-in from time to time to be sure bright mode isn't causing image retention)
Screen on w/new SMS/MMS - whether or not the screen wakes with incoming new text messages (default no screen wake)
Keyboard auto-correct - auto correct for the Samsung keyboard
Palm swipe (R to L) to sleep
Ringer fade - whether or not the ringer starts out at low volume, then changes to full volume (default no volume fading)
Display AM/PM - whether or not "AM" or "PM" is displayed with the clock on the status bar (default no AM/PM)
Zero wake lag - whether or not to get rid of screen-on lag (default: get rid of the lag - see below for full details on what this does)
SD card read-ahead - set your SD card read ahead buffer (default 2048K)
De-ASEC - decrypts encrypted apps and places them in the normal /data/app location. Once enabled, just turn screen off/on to de-ASEC installed apps.
Notes on Zero Wake Lag
While most of the options in the sticky settings are pretty self explanatory, I would like to explain wake lag and how to use the zero wake lag option. The zero wake lag option s turned ON by default: meaning you will not get any wake lag. Read on, however, should you feel like controlling this option yourself.
What is wake lag?
Wake lag is a delay (usually between a half second and 2 full seconds) between when you press the power button and when the screen actually turns on from a "sleeping" state. Contrary to what I found in various forums about this popular topic, wake lag is not caused solely by the amount of time it takes for the processors to wake from a deep sleep, nor do the dozens of suggestions that I found make much of a difference: things like turning off the ripple effect, pop up note, ink, or even freezing certain processes. Processor wake time is only part of the equation. In going through system logs in detail, I found many factors that actually added to the amount of delay you get between when you press the power button and the phone is actually usable. Other things such as sensors powering up (accelerometer and light sensor for example) and whether or not you have an external SD card installed drastically affect how much delay is present on any particular phone. I measured the lag on my own phone at 1.7 seconds which, as you can imagine, got old pretty quickly.
But I don't have any lag at all. What's up with that?
If you don't have lag, your phone is never going into a deep sleep. In my own investigation, I found that it takes nothing more than a single misplaced wakelock.acquire command after the screen turns off to keep your phone from going into deep sleep. For your phone to enter deep sleep, each and every wakelock.acquire must be followed by a wakelock.release. That means every app you have installed must behave perfectly and never have an "acquire" without a paired (and properly timed) "release" for deep sleep to occur. Because the processors do take some time (I found about 750ms) to come back on from deep sleep, if you have no wake lag at all, it's safe to say something is misbehaving and creating a wake lock on your phone. If that's the case, the zero wake lag option will have no noticeable effect on your phone.
I turned on the zero wake lag option and I have no more wake lag, but won't my battery die quickly now?
The zero wake lock fix does create a wake lock that prevents your phone from going into deep sleep, but read on: from what I've found, I think this is a good thing! MeanBean already underclocks the processors when the screen is off, which means with your screen off, you only have one core activated and it is running at a maximum of 1 Ghz. In addition, the governor is set to not ramp up frequency as quickly as when the screen is on. This means with the screen off, you have one processor running at slow speed (usually around 200 Mhz) at a very low voltage, using very little juice, but up to 1 Ghz of processing power is still available if something needs to run with the screen off like a media server. The radio in your phone will use far more power than the CPU that is left running to satisfy the wake lock.
Also consider this! With the zero wake lag option turned off, your phone goes into deep sleep in less than one second when you press the power button to turn the screen off! That may sound like a good idea at first glance, but from what I've seen in the logs, I doubt it. I ran the phone normally (allowing deep sleep) and I found that particularly for someone like me who gets a lot of pushed emails, the phone was being forced to wake up hundreds of times each hour! That means if you leave your phone unplugged overnight for example, by the time you wake up, your phone will have shut down and then reactivated and re-powered-up the processors and sensors potentially thousands of times! Is all that waking/sleeping/waking/sleeping good for the sensors and the system in general? I'm not going to say for sure but logic would tell me no, particularly when other processes like maps/google location is already pinging those sensors every few minutes. In fact, I tested the phone over an 8 hour time period with zero wake lag both on and off and my battery life actually got significantly better with the zero wake lag option turned on. Presumably this is because the phone wasn't constantly powering down (and back up) a bunch of circuitry. In the 8 hour time period, I lost 10% battery with zero wake lag turned off and only 6% with it turned on!
Now, if you put your phone in airplane mode and you have nothing running that tends to wake the system a lot, maybe your battery will do better with zero wake lag turned off. It's safe to say YMMV but the option is there to switch zero wake lag off if you wish.
Alrighty Meanies...
Recommend a clean install with this one but if you're on the regular MeanBean and you're bored, it is possible to dirty flash over to this! If you have any problems though, I won't have anything to do with you until you've tried a clean install to see if it clears the problem.

Everything is updated in the OP and I removed all versions except the latest 0.3 which appears to be running smoothly. Since I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that I'm the only one trying to bake VZW apps into the international base, what I'd like people to report is whether or not all your VZW apps are working and all the functions within them. I tested what I could test like the My Verizon widget that shows data usage, Voicemail, etc. but I can't test Visual Voicemail because I don't have it.
So... need some feedback please.
Thanks!

I use your Zero Wake Lag mod on the Galaxy S3 and it works great. But I wonder if it`s so healthy for the CPU to be active all the time and having no deep sleep. Could it it have more wearout when it`s active all the time?

GENERAL NOTES ABOUT 4.3
4.3, for some is great....for others, not so great. Its the base, not our fault, i wish it was perfect but its all we have. It has been good so far for me, and i hope its bug free for you aswell.
I do not use init.d scripts, ans i feel most of them are useless, i will not add or support init.d at any time, sorry.
CUSTOM SETTINGS NOTES
yes its included, NO most of it is not working ATM
only things working: hide blocking mode, vibrate, and bluetooth icons
I am working hard to get everything updated and will be posting updates as soon as i have more.
The Updater IS NOT included yet, everything will have to be redone, this is my first priority and am working on it currently
Screen shots

Looking awesome man!! (as always!) Glad you got this going for everyone. Another Team Nocturnal masterpiece.
DOWNLOAD link is LIVE!!!!
FYI, there is no visible boot animation, if you flash Faux kernel, you will then see the boot animation. Will be fixed soon.
ALSO!!! The ONLY thing in the updater safe to flash is themes EXCEPT for the return to default theme. If stuff stops working just dirty flash the rom for now. Thanks for the reminder RK2

For clarification purposes, I know with Goodness some things weren't working with Verizon just yet (Lockscreen options, themes, etc). Is everything working out of the box in this ROM?

Credit where credit is due:
As with any open source stuff, some of this work is my own, most of it comes from other sources. So in addition to my own work (mostly in the "mean" category), here's a quick thanks to those of you who contributed knowingly (thank you) and not-so-knowingly via open source 5 finger discount (thank you just the same: your stuff is good and that's why I used it). Sometimes it's not entirely obvious where the source started so if I missed someone, please let me know and I'll add you. Also, I'm careful to only include other work where the author does not specify any usage restrictions or has given approval. If you believe, however, that I've included something that shouldn't be in this ROM, please just PM me.
Credit krowley3: I used your Sophisticated ROM as a base (thanks for the offer!)!
Other credits: I list them in the features section above and give links to the original works so you can donate to other devs for specific mods you like!
Want my stuff?:
I list credits in the features section above and links to original works: if you see something credited there and you want to use it, click the link and seek permission from the developer I've credited. If you see something in this ROM and I don't reference some other source, I probably coded it myself. If you want it: take it and use it in your ROM, your theme, whatever you like. I just ask that you please credit me. I'm a firm believer in Android and open source so you don't even have to ask. Anything you see here... it's yours for just the price of a simple line crediting me. I always share as I believe that's the way we developers put the power in Android... and one way we can fight "the Apple brainwashing machine".
Below are some pointers on updating your firmware, installing recoveries, modding, etc. before we get to the good stuff (installation and downloads).
CHANGELOG:
See post #2
Problems after you flash?:
PLEASE DO NOT REPORT PROBLEMS IN THIS THREAD UNTIL you've done a full wipe and fresh install to see if that cures it. I know I should really just do like most devs and proclaim REQUIRES FULL WIPE/FRESH INSTALL on every version. That saves me a lot of headaches but I know what a PITA a fresh install can be even with MyBackup or Titanium at your disposal. So it never hurts to try just a flash without a full wipe, but if you run into any HINT of a problem... anything at all... don't report the problem in this thread until you've tried a full wipe and fresh install first to see if that cures the problem!
Note regarding tweaks: don't flash tweaks or themes on top unless you KNOW the tweak/theme is compatible with the the MJ9 base
Installation - a final note:
First, the usual disclaimers. I supply the ammo, you use it. ROMS don't kill phones, n00bs do. Use this ROM at your own risk as I won't be responsible for bricks or any other untoward happenings. I spent a lot of time ensuring that the stuff in this ROM is fast, smooth, and compatible. But... it always helps to have some familiarity with flashing ROMs to keep yourself safe.
Download links are below
Now to installation of the ROM itself...
Always make a Nandroid backup before installing anything on your phone!
Use Odin 3.07 to install MJ9 firmware.
On first install of MeanBean Reborn, do a full wipe (although rumor is I dirty flashed from MeanBean ICE MC3 base... but I'll never admit it).
Subsequent updates: no wiping necessary BUT...
If you have any trouble at all, do a full wipe and then reinstall
Install using recovery (I use latest TWRP)
... you're gonna break it!
Don't flash any other mods, tweaks, or themes unless they specifically say they are built for (the latest version of) MeanBean or you WILL break features in this ROM and/or cause instability! While this ROM is designed to have the general look/feel of the stock ROM, it is highly customized under the hood and mods, tweaks, or themes not designed specifically for this ROM will cause problems. If you want this ROM to run perfectly without any issues, do not flash anything on top.

Zero battery drain extended screen-off volume controls - usage
The volume buttons on the left side of the phone can be used to perform special functions when the screen is turned off. Because this is a modification to the framework and the code is never executed until you press the volume keys with the screen off, it uses zero battery unlike some of the apps you find on Google Play that are always running in the background, draining your battery as they monitor key status. Usage is as follows:
TAP for volume: Simply tap volume up/down to increase/decrease volume.
LONG PRESS to skip tracks: Press and hold volume up/down for 0.5 second (but not more than 1 second) to skip to next/prev. track.
VERY LONG PRESS to play/pause: Press and hold volume up/down for 1 second (but not more than 2 seconds) to skip to next/prev. track.
HOLD to turn torch light on/off: Press and hold volume up/down for at least 2 seconds to turn torch light on/off.
Once you get a feel for the timing, it's very easy to operate!
Turning off Zero Wake Lag
If you want maximum battery life and you don't mind the screen-on delay, you can turn off the ZWL mod. Use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer and open /system/build.prop with /system in R/W mode. Then locate this line at the very bottom of the file:
Code:
meanbean.opt.zerowakelag=true
Change to this:
Code:
meanbean.opt.zerowakelag=false
Turning on Music Notifications
By default, notification sounds don't play while you are listening to music so that your music is not being constantly interrupted by notifications from your email, Kik Messenger, text messaging app, SnapChat and other apps that use push notifications. Notifications work normally when no music is playing. Most people prefer to listen to music without these constant interruptions and without having to resort to airplane mode or turning notification volume all the way down manually. If you do want notification sounds, however, you can turn them on so that they play even during music by making the following change in the build.prop file. Use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer and open /system/build.prop with /system in R/W mode. Then locate this line at the very bottom of the file:
Code:
meanbean.opt.musicnotify=false
Change to this:
Code:
meanbean.opt.musicnotify=true
Wanna make your gallery super fast?
If you're tired of the stuttering and not even being able to scroll your gallery and you don't care about Samsung AllShare Cast, use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer and just delete these files from /system/app, reboot, and watch your gallery fly!
AllShareCastPlayer.apk
AllshareControlShare.apk
AllshareFileShare.apk
AllshareFileShareClient.apk
AllshareFileShareServer.apk
AllshareMediaServer.apk

Thanks for this, finally worked up the nerve to update my firmware (ODIN hates me more than my mother-in-law) and playing with these new ROM's is great! Coming from 4.1.2 this is quite refreshing...
Was wondering if you were considering some N3 features, I saw a mod to add them, but this software looks tight, if I try that mod and it works I will report back...
Thanks!

Yeah man! I did a lot of trolling threads to find out which 4.3 was stable with the least complaints before I started. Looked like Sophisticated fit the bill to me. Thankfully krowley had already offered to let me use it as a base so I'm way ahead of the game! Thanks again krowley!

No worries! I am excited to see what you can do with it. I know that you will make this awesome. I may be getting with you soon though for a few tips and possibly an international build similar to ICE. It may just need your GPS touch I am downloading N7105 ML3 now:good:

Sounds great! Let's team up. If you wanna take on the international version, I'll probably stick here with the VZW edition. Just don't have the time to debug and tweak the international base but I'd be happy to port some stuff (like zero wake lag and GPS) as I can.

You are probably trying to give it the compressed file: you have to use 7Zip or something to unzip the MD5 file out of that. It's the MD5 file that Odin wants. Otherwise sounds like you're doing it right.
