This ROM is no longer being developed, I have moved on to the Xperia Play. I will help as much as I can whenever I can.
Introduction
This is seriously the fastest X10 MIUI I have ever used after installing my many background apps for gaming, working, typing, browsing, everything. This is a production of my own kitchen and also seems to be 100% stable and very compatible in all my extensive tests. It is built upon FXP and MIUI UK's build of 2.4.20 (for the Incredible S). I am taking the time to research and test every small tweak out there for the X10 and hope to create a perfect stock-like MIUI ROM, which I think I have done - but I'll let you decide
Features:
- Supports many languages, including Right-To-Left
- Exclusive tweaks specific to the CosmicUI and the X10i (very snappy with multitasking)
- Uses WebKit Core and DalvikVM from FXP, providing the fastest MIUI ROM for X10 yet
- Aroma graphical installer with various options to suit your needs
- Native screenshot working with Menu + VolDown key
- Mi Button option to remap camera key
- "Performance" menu, based on CM7 Performance Menu, for setting CPU and CompCache settings
- Aroma Installer for customizing the install
Existing bugs/issues:
- Native Wifi Tether not working. Get "Wifi Tether" from Play Store, it works perfectly.
- Bootanimation Themes don't work
^ You can use standard method of replacing /system/media/bootanimation.zip with a root explorer or e.g. ROM Toolbox Pro
- Poor FPS when recording video
^ This is an issue with FXP-CM7. Don't know if this will ever be fixed since everyone is working on CM9 now.
- Pinch-zoom in MIUI Browser is broken, a side-effect of the FXP rendering engine (which is needed for the great speed).
^ You can still double-tap to zoom, I use Opera Mobile myself usually (seems faster).

Changelog:
v0.6.02.125
-----------
- Reverted from Oodie's MIUI Camera to original FXP-CM7 one, MIUI Camera breaks other camera apps and code scanners.
- Updated priority tweaks in an attempt to prevent music stuttering yet keep call lag to a minimum
v0.6.01.125
-----------
- Base updated to FXP-CM7-125, the last CM7-FXP release for X10
- RTL language support integrated, should work well.
- Multilanguage support. Some will fallback to English (should, let me know if it's Chinese) because the source translations were missing. If you want to report a missing translation, please help by finding another MIUI ROM which already has them.
- All APK/JAR files PNG optimized, zip-aligned and recompressed. Performance and memory improvements.
- Now using MIUI v1.x Camera, works well (credits to Oodie)
- Updated custom scripts/mods to work with Custom MTD in latest kCernel-CosmicMod-v3 kernel
- Fixed FC's on reboot bug from mod scripts
- Automatic-reboot implemented in mod scripts, no need for manual reboots anymore.
- New kernel randomly fixes Aroma pixel-shift issue. Strange one that bug was.
- Phone/Dialer app given high priority tweak, should help with call lag
- Attempted Native Wifi Tether fix (incomplete, different error now)
v0.5.01.124
-----------
- Base updated to FXP-CM7-124
- Finished 'Customize' option in Aroma installer, lets users change settings without reinstalling the ROM.
- Added some things to Elite install (and Elite Customization), such as "VM Profiles".
- Removed Wifi Tether from Aroma installer, get it from Play Store instead
^ I could not figure out how to fix native Wifi Tether, hopefully someone else can. Tip: Maybe something to do with the net code in framework.
- Changed kernel from original FXP to championswimmers' kCernel v01 (new versions).
^ Removed bootmanager and set recovery to Team UtterChaos Touch Recovery, it's more stable than FXP CWM Recovery
- Replaced MIUI Camera with CM7 Camera, I am not skilled enough to fix MIUI Camera for X10
- Reverted DalvikVM to original MIUI one, FXP's provided no visible benefits
^ Restored "reserveExternalMemory" functions in Gallery and Launcher2, might help battery life/performance (tested: nope)
- Reverted Vending.apk to original Market, integrating newest Play Store was causing problems (we should let it update)
- Updated CM7 WebKit/Net code injections to FXP-124
- Added "Launcher Mod" as a seperate option in Installer (in Customize, scroll-down)
v0.4.01.122
-----------
- Base updated to FXP-CM7-122
- Patched in FXP's WebKit Core and DalvikVM, MASSIVE performance and stability improvements
^ Please keep those bug reports coming, some internet functions may be broken (Facebook and Play Store work 100% in my tests)
- Fixed positioning and orientation (compass apps)
- Camera downgraded to a version with autofocus and location working 100%
^ Thanks to MongooseHelix, source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15307536&postcount=167
- New CosmicUI bootanimation, selectable in new Aroma installer
- New kernel based on FXP-122, updated CWM-based Recovery binary
- Automatic time/date update fixed (changed NTP server to pool.ntp.org)
- Changed default theme to Suave HD by collins521 and some others, source @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330577
^ With permission of course. Using Light Version since it's more compatible. Original MIUI theme still included (just renamed).
- Updated Timezone/DST info to version 2012b (was 2010k)
- Updated to Google Play Store v3.5.19
- Added Aroma Installer with user-selectable options and such
- Integrated the MIUI Extended Settings with the ROM, selectable within Aroma customization
v0.3.01.121
-----------
- CM7 base updated to FXP-121
- MIUI Music downgraded to v1.4.22, pretty much identical to newest but with the buggy equalizer removed.
- Fixed native Screenshot
- Added "Mi Button" option under Settings > System > Buttons for remapping the Camera key
- Removed "Dock" from settings (useless)
- Changed default bootanimation (theming still not working for some reason, manually replace media/bootanimation.zip for now)
- Tweaked Dalvik VM (now much faster and more free memory)
^ Reverted some VM/swap values to CM7/FXP defaults (use an app like RAM Manager Pro if you want to tweak VM values)
- Replaced some libraries and binaries with FXP ones (seems to help stability and performance)
- Updated modded MIUI File Explorer to v2.3.7.32 (thanks again apooonet)
- "Allow purging of assets" in Performance settings enabled by default (helps RAM and lagging)
- Spare Parts, modified Launcher, Volume+ and 4-way reboot added to system ROM (Modpack no longer required for this)
^ Install the modpack now only if you want "MIUI Control Panel" and understand that it can cause issues for some users
- Updated install script with some helpful text and a cache format
v0.2.02.119
----------
- Auto HW-LED fix implemented (requires one reboot from fresh install)
- Capability (permissions) fixes
- Updated GPS settings (XTRA Server). My locks are now accurate to 3m! (was 10m)
- Gmail removed (I use K-9 Mail myself, get it from the Play Store if you want it)
- Enabled 16-bit transparency as default (fix scrolling lag)
- Changed max events per second of WindowsEvents to 26 (anything higher starts causing process saturation and decreases touch response).
- Moved swapping values to sysctrl configuration file so init.d scripts not made for low memory devices don't mess with them
v0.2.01.119
----------
- Additional stability fixes
- Replaced Torch with one from CM7, forced background to flat black color
^ Holding Home on lockscreen works yay =)
- Fixed USB Mounting
- Fixed Camera flash (video recording still slow as crap)
- Added a new offline-charging animation in the style of "Token icons", I really hate that colored candy crap See the credits for source!
- Replaced stock File Manager with the "Modified and Extended File Manager". See credits for link! Current version = v2.3.7.31
v0.2.00.119
----------
- Changed base to Incredible S (Defy's Texus Instruments chipset is too obscure to "fix")
- Performance and memory fixes
- Introduced compcache and swapping values that actually works well (unlike other MIUI's for X10)
^ Feel free to disable via Performance settings, but with a 1GHz CPU but tiny RAM I think that's a silly thing to do
- Fixed Wifi driver (custom FXP-based kernel with seperate Wifi modules required)
- Added "Performance" option under Settings > System for changing CPU settings and Compcache
^ Was first used in M&M Team MIUI v7. Thanks to Mao (M&M Team) for the custom icon
^ It is STRONGLY recommended to leave Compcache enabled for multitasking. P.S. Go Launcher sucks on RAM like a leech, if you want a sexy MIUI-like launcher with more features and an app draw I suggest QQ Launcher (it's what I use and it's top-stuff!)
v0.1.00.119
----------
- Initial test version
- Based on FXP119 and MIUI UK's v2.4.20 for the Motorola Defy (since it has an identical resolution)

Installation:
0) Factory Reset recommended if upgrading to v0.6.x
1) Flash baseband .71 if required (for X10i, this ROM is not tested on X10a)
2) Flash the kCernel CosmicMod (recommended), which is based on kCernel_v01 with 730MB on /data and OC capability, or alternatively use any FXP-based kernel (for advanced users), or the old one from 0.4 if you don't want a bigger /data partition for some reason (check my Mediafire folder). Wifi modules flash not needed. Note - CosmicUI kernel is based on kCernel, all credits go to champ.
3) Download the ROM CosmicUI-vx.x.xx.xxx ZIP (see newest version in "Downloads" below) and install in Recovery. Highly recommended to perform a Factory Reset. Also install any hotfixes after (you can reboot if you want, doesn't matter).
4) When the ROM loads, it will automatically reboot once/twice (depending on what customizations you chose).
5) If you get stuck at kernel logo after the install, repeat everything from step 1 again. Sometimes the X10 gets a bad flash.
Note: Do NOT use the old v0.3 Modpack ZIP with the new versions! v0.4 onwards use the graphical Aroma Installer that allows you to chose mods there.
Note 2: The new kernel uses Touch Recovery y DoomLord/Team UtterChaos. If you made Nandroid backups with FXP CWR on previous versions, it is 100% compatible with them. If you still want CWR and/or Bootmanager, use champs' original kCernel.
Downloads:
DO NOT MIRROR. If I find mirrors in Google I will remove this ROM from the public! An honest thank you to the various Middle-Eastern and Asian forums for linking to this original thread

If you are updating from v0.5 to v0.6 you may need to perform a Factory Reset to fix some things. At the very least, do a "Clear Data" for any app that FC's or performs strangely after update. Please do NOT report bugs if you have not done a Factory Reset in Recovery!
Screenshots:
(These are from the old v0.3, v0.4 onwards has a new default theme in the style of screenshot 6 and 7)
Description of each, in order -
01 - Desktop
02 - Settings > System > Performance menu
03 - Showing the new "Mi Button" option for remapping the Camera key (personally I like to have it set to MultiTasking Pro)
04 - Auto-Brightness settings disabled because it doesn't exist on the X10, and a reminder to reboot
05 - Music player (working 100% now, Equalizer removed completely but fade working)
06 - My personal (heavy) desktop setup. QQ Launcher, Beautiful Widgets, Minimalistic Text, Wifi Manager, and the shortcut icons is a widget from Folder Organizer (it allows smaller grid size than stock launcher icons, and resizes icons better quality than the Multicon Widget).
07 - Quadrant Benchmark with a number that doesn't really mean much... try the ROM yourself for the real feel
Reserved
All the best! Good luck!

Man, your work is going to shock us.
You know, I pretty agree that some tweaks are not really for our es209ra.
I always experienced some strange behaviors when compared to stock-based rom.

Haha, thanks... I just have a lot of free time and love the X10, time I put some skills in and give back to XDA for helping me out so much over the years.... feel free to test it everyone, I may come off as a "noob hater" with that big red text LOL but I am a nice guy.... just please understand that if you are too lazy to read or don't know how to use MIUI properly or what BETA means, be careful and don't insult me.... any help/testing is greatly appreciated...
EDIT: BTW for those wondering.... I have been using this for the past few days, fine tuning this release... I have a crap load of apps installed like I usually do, and it's responsive. Playing music in MIUI Player (with EQ and Fade disabled of course) while getting a call is fast, texting works, GPS locking is well, 3D gaming is decent, multitasking is the best I've ever seen... but I have gotten some strange "lags" after installing some fresh apps, a reboot fixed it. I think my swapping settings are a bit too hardcore. For the experienced out there, check/play my values in sysctl.conf if you like. Or just disable Compcache completely, but if you do that the Dialer and/or Messaging might be unresponsive.... I have not had a chance to test such things....
X10 is alive Thanks.
but is it ics?

Fair question I guess... no. CM9-FXP is nowhere near this stable yet, this is CM7-FXP119. [Updated title]

I would try this on Monday cuz I have to work on Saturday and Sunday, 12 hours each day(yeah yeah, it is mother's day)
(Other MIUI roms give strange behaviors )
Til now, all I have learnt is to do some minor mods on build.prop, gps.conf, vdd levels and swap2sys partition
I think this rom will be very smooth with swap2sys with swapiness zero (in fact, I am using this for stock based rom, it works well also
cheers,
L
The rom is beautiful and so far nothing has gone wrong
Is it for locked boot loader or unlocked ?
You had me at hello... lol
No really, you had me at "They are full of tweaks that are not for our device, some tweaks just don't make sense and/or cancel each other out, and they have bundled apps and mods which create more possibilities to go wrong."
I'm going to try your rom and report later (3-4 days)
thank you!

i'm 99% percent sure it's unlocked...
Many devs don't make roms for locked anymore since it was bad compared to unlocked...
Trying your rom. Getting Android Process acore stop all the time.
I am on unlocked boot loader.

How does the battery life seem to be on this ROM?

The best custom rom for xperia mini, pro, activa , and lww has been kamarush's MINICMSandwich lite AOSP, today he released his v3 kernel and v4 Rom, (thank you kamarush!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705255
however there are a couple of things which we liked about the v3 rom (original aosp lite) and it has been changed/removed on the v4, i humbly request kamarush to took a look at this, im sure there are other ppl who feel the same way too (pleaze!)
minicmsandwich_se_aosp_lite VS update_minicmsandwich_lite_final
advantages in older version (aosp lite)
1)automatically downloaded internet settings for gprs date (v4 doesnt) , so that means for users who dont have wifi, we have to manually configure apn settings (not easy in india) and no file manager included so without data we cant even install applications to try on v4 rom!!!! (if no wifi)
2)live wallpapers excluded (the ics bubbles, and phase beam lwp are hard to find over the internet (in .apk format)
3)rom v3 felt more complete... let me elaborate on this one :
The New "Rom Control" included in v4 ... some of the options dont work properly ... like changing recent apps window to palm os stlyle, or sense style) , dont work , enabling boot screen wont work, (automatically checks "disable" after restart), the option to include auto kill all apps in recent wont work, and also the brightness control in the pull down bar is awkwardly aligned right (with no brightness icon on the left) , and THE whole ROM doesnt feel as lite as the v3. in v3 we could make the pull down bar look super cool , by flashing ics reloaded patches (google it) . // its okay to exclude all the AOKP rom control complications and revert back the previous version ...original aosp lite (was de best)
4)the contacts app in v4 aosp final lite has a ugly white and light blue ui rather than the dark black and ics blue ui like in the initial cmsandwich aosp lite. No options for "only display contacts with phone number" so contacts displays all the crap in ur google contacts...
Disadvantages Of v3
1)auto ration 2)camera 3)gsm data 4)vid recording 5)HD playback in gallary 5) games
A Perfect Custom Rom For These Devices (im a noob, or i would do it myself, so i rely on experts like kamarush for the job)
1)SE application installer , or samsung like file manager pre installed
2)auto gprs settings dowloading
3)stock camera, music app installed
4)may include DSP manager
5)all HW features fully working
6)may not include complicated features like "rom control" (aokp stuff)
7)may include "reloaded ics" status bar patches (only worked wid previous cm sandwich lite)
8)2.0 ghz overclock
9)may include cm7 like simpleness in changing lock screen, battery icon n stuff , also cm7 like settings (i haven't seen cm9 settings yet)
10)sticks closely to stripped down ics stock looks (dark blue and cayan blue lines)
//basically put ...all we want is a clean CM9 for xperia mini/mini pro/lww
kamarush AOSP lite Final :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705255
advantages : latest patches n os, all hw working,
kamarush AOSP lite (v3) previous version :
http://goo.im/devs/kamarush/MiniCMSandwich_Lite
disadvantages: auto rotation,cam,gsm data not working.
advantages : much more lite, n simple, contacts app looks good and has option to display names with phone numbers only,
better looking status bar (supports
reloaded ics status bar patches )

Hi, I've modded the theme of GB .62 myself.
It's an unified Holo ICS look for GB, including the Sony theme system!
Features :
- Holo background everywhere
- Modified pop up window
- Modified list divided be dimmer
- Very lite framework-res package, only 4.4MB ! I emptied the trashes .pngs from the framework.
- Changed status bar background to LG's (It's color is smoother)
Note :
- Please choose Flow/Blue theme in Display->Theme.
- Flash with CWM.
- You may choose to wipe cache and dalvik-cache to make sure that the system is clean before installing.
Note :
- If u want my fonts posted in screenshot, it's Segoe WP. Flash it in CWM.
See screenshots in attachment.
Credits to XtremeSilencer who make Atomic GB ROM.
My opinion about GB :
After some times using ICS, I'm really tired of the lags. It's really sucks.
GB is a really powerful, fast, fluid OS. Even my hands is not faster than the UI !
I don't need the ICS features, I think ICS is just a remake of the UI. I don't see any useful new features there.
What's more you want form GB?

Let me have a guess...
Android v 4.2.2
Based on Xperia v2 ROM ( from the A919 Tool app icon and the normal nav bar icons in screenshot no. 2, and also the background in screenshot no. 1 where a message is seen saying that " Actually I was bored with Xperia v2 ROM so I made this ROM. " )
Changed Framework apk and systemui apk
Added Samsung Apps like the launcher and calendar, etc.
Updated GmsCore.apk (or Google Play Services to be simple)
Did not edit and/or change the data folder
Followed any MTK porting guide
Did a quick port today ( from the date and time in the screenshots )
Better RAM management -- Tweaked minfree values would be my guess
Did not change the Flashlight app (TinnoLED.apk)
Brighter Flashlight -- Not as easy as he hoped. He would need some redirection of app processing power to the flashlight app to increase its importance, and thereby increase the flashlight brightness. I'm guessing he hasn't done that, so you'd better remove that line.
Did not change the default time zone in build.prop settings (It is set to phillipines time. )
Neat. Good attempt.
Bugs :
Transparent Status Bar
From the screenshots, it is apparent that the Status Bar isn't transparent. You mean that the background of the Notifications panel is transparent. Status Bar transparency refers to the status bar having the colour of the app's upper part. Like in the first screenshot, the status bar (the part with the battery charging info, network signal info, clock, etc.) should have the colour of the app. (like its background should have whatsapp's green colour while running whatsapp)
But, that is more of a misconception than a bug.
Here is a bug which he cannot fix.
3g support on both SIMs.
For that, you need hardware support. It is wrongly mentioned in the Xperia ROM v2 too. I have tried and tested that in almost all other ROMs like MIUI v5, Xperia ROM v2, Stock ROM, etc. and it all comes down to the same thing. YOU NEED HARDWARE SUPPORT FOR 3G IN BOTH SIMS.
A piece of advice : Do not bet that there won't be an bugs at all. Each and every ROM might have a bug that the developer might have overlooked.
Here are some things your friend might have done or should do if he hasn't done yet.
Changing the build.prop setting of ro.product.**** to that of Karbonn's from MyPhone Agua Cyclone ( Xperia ROM v2 was built on that phone's ROM )
Add Material Design Apps from Apkmirror like Gmail 5.0, Maps, etc.
Try porting Kitkat ROMs to Jelly Bean based devices by modifying the installation procedure to include the priv-app folder
Try porting CyanogenMod to this device
Help me in porting Carbon ROM and/or CyanogenMod 12 to this device.
Mention how he got the updater script to work properly and install the ROM perfectly in TWRP and Philz Recovery
Sign the ROM using ZipSigner app and then upload it.
Add more features to it
Here are a few suggestions :
Update the version of SuperSU and then install it.
Make the Xposed Framework built-in. ( Not to be installed manually after installing the ROM )
Pre-install GravityBox or XBlast tools.
Odex the apps folder for better RAM usage
Increase the wifi supplicant scan interval
Throw in some paid apps for free.
Increase the net buffer size
Add the X-Reality engine
ZipAlign all apks.
Add some more fonts ( other than Choco cookie )
Add more sounds for ringtones, audio, etc.
Mention all these to him, and if possible, ask him whether he could help me to develop other ROMs for this device.
BRO thanks for your opinions and thought

Did not change the default time zone in build.prop settings (It is set to phillipines time. )
Neat. Good attempt.
Bugs :
Transparent Status Bar
From the screenshots, it is apparent that the Status Bar isn't transparent. You mean that the background of the Notifications panel is transparent. Status Bar transparency refers to the status bar having the colour of the app's upper part. Like in the first screenshot, the status bar (the part with the battery charging info, network signal info, clock, etc.) should have the colour of the app. (like its background should have whatsapp's green colour while running whatsapp)
But, that is more of a misconception than a bug.
Here is a bug which he cannot fix.
3g support on both SIMs.
For that, you need hardware support. It is wrongly mentioned in the Xperia ROM v2 too. I have tried and tested that in almost all other ROMs like MIUI v5, Xperia ROM v2, Stock ROM, etc. and it all comes down to the same thing. YOU NEED HARDWARE SUPPORT FOR 3G IN BOTH SIMS.
A piece of advice : Do not bet that there won't be an bugs at all. Each and every ROM might have a bug that the developer might have overlooked.
Here are some things your friend might have done or should do if he hasn't done yet.
Changing the build.prop setting of ro.product.**** to that of Karbonn's from MyPhone Agua Cyclone ( Xperia ROM v2 was built on that phone's ROM )
Add Material Design Apps from Apkmirror like Gmail 5.0, Maps, etc.
Try porting Kitkat ROMs to Jelly Bean based devices by modifying the installation procedure to include the priv-app folder
Try porting CyanogenMod to this device
Help me in porting Carbon ROM and/or CyanogenMod 12 to this device.
Mention how he got the updater script to work properly and install the ROM perfectly in TWRP and Philz Recovery
Sign the ROM using ZipSigner app and then upload it.
Add more features to it
Here are a few suggestions :
Update the version of SuperSU and then install it.
Make the Xposed Framework built-in. ( Not to be installed manually after installing the ROM )
Pre-install GravityBox or XBlast tools.
Odex the apps folder for better RAM usage
Increase the wifi supplicant scan interval
Throw in some paid apps for free.
Increase the net buffer size
Add the X-Reality engine
ZipAlign all apks.
Add some more fonts ( other than Choco cookie )
Add more sounds for ringtones, audio, etc.
Mention all these to him, and if possible, ask him whether he could help me to develop other ROMs for this device.

Android v 4.2.2
Based on Xperia v2 ROM ( from the A919 Tool app icon and the normal nav bar icons in screenshot no. 2, and also the background in screenshot no. 1 where a message is seen saying that " Actually I was bored with Xperia v2 ROM so I made this ROM. " )
Changed Framework apk and systemui apk
Added Samsung Apps like the launcher and calendar, etc.

See i ported this Material L for unite 2 (a106) for our s5+ it was ported successfully and also booted up i used it for More than 3 days not found any other bug except Camera and flashlight..I changed some of its Lib files With Stock and also changed its gallery to stock and tried many other methods but still the cam bug didnt fixed..Else everything working really good.whenever i opens the cam it says unfortunately camera has stopped else everything works at its best...
Yeah, I just thought I should type out my thoughts about the ROM and then wait and see your reply. Sorry for that, though.
---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------
You used some MTK porting guide, didn't you ?
Another thing, what do you mean by Material L ? Do you mean to say that you have ported an Android L ROM to this phone ?
I think you have just ported some ROM with just the Material Design UI, as seen in the screenshots (They do not have the Android L Navigation Bar Buttons. )
You could try replacing the permissions in that, as most likely, that would be the root cause of many such errors. A permission file related to the camera settings could be improperly coded, and/or might have a bad file, either corrupt or something like that.
I just needed this tiny favour from you of creating a proper, working update-binary and updater-script inside a META-INF folder which can be used for all my ROMs. If that is over, you'll be seeing those ROMs on XDA quite soon.
Another thing. In the CyanogenMod 12 Lollipop ROM which I am porting, the apps folder has individual folders for each app. So, the flashlight app is in system/app/flashlight/flashlight.apk . Could that be the cause of the ROM not installing properly ? I'm going mad over that as that was the first time I have seen any ROM with apps grouped like that.
Thanks in advance for your contribution.
tnx for posting.. try to port this rom..we r same spec of ur device..

Tutorial
Download the latest version of the rom down below,
if there's a fix for your device varient, download that as well. I will try and merge the fixes on new builds.
In order to install this rom, first of all, if this is your first time, read about it, do some research and understand the consequences. You need an unlocked bootloader, USB debugging enabled and a custom recovery. I recommend TWRP.
Copy the downloaded ROM file and copy it to your device.
Reboot to recovery mode, and use the recovery to get a full backup from your device's current system, data, kernel, etc and make a copy of said backup to your computer. Then, fully wipe Data, Cache, ART cache and system(DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE). Then use a recovery file manager or connect the device to your computer and use mtp to delete the folder Android on your device.
Then install the rom, and if you've downloaded fix patches, install them afterwards and then reboot.
When you install the rom, the aroma installer pops up and gives you a set of options for desired Google Apps,
Samsung apps and services. For the Google Apps I recommend installing the wallpapers and Fit since the wallpapers are not on Play Store and Fit performs best as a system app. The rest can be found on Play store.
The services are Dual Sim support, SuperSU root and NFC support. However, you MUST include SuperSU in your choices for now due to a kernel issue. The dual sim support is obviously for the dual sim models and the NFC is optional since it causes battery performance issues on some devices. CHECK IT IF YOU WANT NFC TO BE INSTALLED. Finally the Samsung Apps.
The Samsung apps are Account, which includes the Samsung Galaxy Apps store and Samsung Account which is required for syncing. SAMSUNG Cloud is not included because I think it is a useless battery eating service, but if you need it let me know so I add it as an option for future builds. There are other Samsung services and apps like SNote, SHealth, One Handed Mode, BlueLight Filter, Private Mode, Gallery, Video Player, Voice recorder, MyFiles, Clipboard Service and SPen features. They all pretty much say what they are, the SPen features include air command, spen apps and Snote, and Clipboard Service is Samsung's handy Clipboard Service which I really like.
F.A.Q.[/CENTER]
My device doesn't boot up after 10 minutes of flashing the rom!
If your device's LED light is no longer on and blue, then the issue is with the Settings app, try flashing with a full wipe, restoring your EFS and if it doesn't work out, contact me. If however the blue led is still on, then try and take a log and sending it to me, with your device information.
Which files should I delete prior to installing the ROM?
The only thing you should delete prior to flashing the ROM once in recovery mode is the Android folder in your internal storage.
Links removed
Amazing.Definitely i will try this. Big thanks mate.
@SIRHydarnes Thank you for your pm. Im downloading it and will let you know how it goes.
Fast, lightweight and excellent battery life. Being using it for a while and has only used like one battery percent. Love the icons and the status bar. Sir you have done an outstanding job!!!
If anyone wants to use it on 920t and doesn't gets in call audio, flash the attached zip.

Just like you said, the problem is firstly that your device model isn't in the list I said this ROM supports!
Please do some reading prior to flashing and posting. From now on, with all due respect, I will ignore posts like this.

BlueLight Filter is kernel related and it's again because you're running the rom on another device. If anyone tries this ROM on other devices or varients and finds fixes for the bugs not mentioned, please share them so I may include them in future builds.
