Not sure if anyone else noticed this Rom over in the I9100 forums but it looks great. Pretty much the best of both worlds the smoothness of a Sammy Rom and the some of the best functions of a AOSP Rom such as dialer, SMS, contact, etc. I tried to use the Flash-aholicsTool with no success. It seems to process it okay but when you flashl the rom you'll get a lot of "System UI' has stopped working errors.
I might be in the minority but...this looks like it would be a great rom if someone with a LOT more skills then me was able to make it run.

Seems like a nice rom...I think I'll give it a spin...the Chameleon v1.2 rom I was referring to is based on the latest sammy release XWLPU 4.0.4.
Thanks
Hopefully you full wiped before flashing. If not that could be why it isn't working for you.

No I did a full wipe....with a format of the normal (data, system, etc) actually tried multiple times.
I was able to get it to work. I had on force close for android.phone but once I cleared it I was able to use and make a call without issues. I did not test out the Chameleon v1.2 very much. Just was curious.
So here is what I did.
1. Flash the rom completely and then booted it up completely.
2. Hold down the power button until the popup appears and choose reboot, then recovery.
3. Choose the Chameleon add on if you want it. (I did this step).
4. Go back to recovery and choose the i777updater-Chameleon I made and flash it in cwm. It will give you the mic swapped siyah kernel 4.1.4 and add other files for our button config, CSC files, etc.
5.Reboot and it worked for me. Again I did NOT thoroughly test for it as it just seems like a version of CM9 or something from my very limited use. Hope this helps.

RockRatt,
Thanks for the effort but it's pretty much not usable...It will boot and kind of works but it looks up and you'll get phone fc then system fc and then locks up....thanks again for trying it is truly appreciated.

I had that same problem the first time I flashed it. Then I went back in and flashed it again and had the one force close but then it all worked after. On the first flash it seemed to me like it was an issue with the cwm recovery version. I was on cwm 6. and when I went back to recovery I still had cwm 6. and thought that was weird unless they were using it as well. Then when I flashed it the second time, reboot the phone, went back to recovery to flash the add on then I had cwm 5. then I rebooted the phone again, then again went to recovery and flashes the zip I made to fix the button and all. I am not positive here but it did start working for me.
I only tried it out for a short time, maybe 30-45 minutes. It just seemed like a version of cm in a way so it wasn't of much use to me. I didn't really see any of the Samsung stuff in it.

It is unstable on our phones and I can't figure out why. Nobody in the I9100 thread is complaining about it, but I get nothing but SystemUI crashes. It is a really nice ROM, as is Serendipity....

OK I am downloading it again and will try to check it out. I will change a couple of things like the contacts.apk or phone.apk or? since that is the error that I saw. If I can get it to where it is stable I will send you a pm with a link to my edited version of it. I am just gonna kang it because there has to be something that can be done for us. I am NOT saying I will port it and post it anywhere. It is their work. I will just see what I can figure out for personal satisfaction and then share with ya what I did.
Solely because it is bugging me seeing that it isn't working. I have NEVER had an issue with ANY i9100 rom not working so gonna give it a try.

That'd be awesome, RockRatt. Let us know what your experiences are.
FYI, the phone crashes are presumably due to the CSC files from your updater zip. The ROM dev took out all the CSC stuff, and I did not get those crashes prior to your zip. The problems I am having are: SystemUI crashes unexpectedly and frequently, and "Preparing USB Storage, checking for errors" will sometimes remain in status bar permanently after boot.
The SystemUI crashes remind me of the ICS leaks back in the day that no one could figure out. Finally I think Entropy (who else?) found out it was related to mms APNs or something. I don't quite remember.
It's strange b/c we have been able to run i9100 ROMs with only kernel and keylayout changes. Not sure why this one would be different.
Things I have tried:
Full wipe, format system AND sdcard
Run ROM without external sdcard
Run ROM with inlcuded (SpeedMod) kernel to see if more stable
remove Busybox, unroot
Reinstall Busybox/Superuser
playing with APNs
switching modems
I think I got it all to work properly. So far NO issues at all. I will upload it and shoot whoever wants it through a pm. Again this is NOT my work so I cannot put it in here. I just got it to work and put it into 1 zip file to flash. I replaced the original kernel with siyah 4.1.4 mic swap from AJ. So shoot me a pm if you want it.

Use Ktoon's Flash-aholicsTool. It works perfectly with this rom.
EDIT: Data won't be enabled by default; after booting and going through the setup wizard, tick "enable data" and on the next reboot, it will connect.
I guess there's something either with my hardware, or with the way AT&T's network is where I live. Seems you and RockRatt have no issues, and others like me and OP have nothing but. It's weird because I can't think of any other I9100 ROMs being this device/region specific.

I had issues too. That is, until I used Ktoon's tool. What did you use?
I know i mentioned this to all who pm'd me and dont know why others have issues with it. I had it run for two days with no issues at all. And i used the EXACT same zip on my phone as those I gave it to. AJ also asked for it so MAYBE he can figure it out if he wants to or has time. I didnt plan on using it too long anyways, even with no issues for me and it did seems smooth. I like using CM10 or one of my ucle5 roms personally. It just didnt have enough for me to stay on it. I like more of a themed rom and it is basically a look alike (graphics wise) as CM9 to me. I didnt see anything of the samsung apps or asop apps I cannot get with CM10. Hope for those that are determined to get it working figure it out. Personally AJs UCLE5 is just as smooth and fast without glitches of any kind. My roms I made were based off his work and they just work. When i like living on the edge i use CM10 which also flashing it every few days pretty much cures my flash addiction.
Not sure why it doesnt work but if you look at the OP of the Chameleon rom he specifically states that data needs to be wiped or you will have issues. Not sure if that is what is going on here since I can only read what your issues are. But dont give up and i am sure you will get it to work as well. I did save a nandroid and may go back to it for more testing, but if i cannot replicate what you guys are seeing I dont know what else to look at.

Tips
Use an alternative launcher
I've included the stock AOSP launcher to keep everything, well, as stock as possible, but I've noticed Apex or Nova to be smoother
Turn on Force GPU Rendering
Ok I don't know the why's and how's or even if this is 100% correct but I've made some observations about GPU rendering in AOSP and Samsung ROMs:
Samsung ROMs seem to respect application manifests with regards to GPU rendering. If an app's manifest has hardwareAccelerated=false, the Rom won't use GPU rendering for that app.
AOSP ROMs seem to have GPU Rendering always enabled (despite what the Force GPU Rendering checkbox says in Settings) and override the hardwareAccelerated tag in applications.
I've noticed much smoother scrolling in applications which have hardwareAccelerated=false if Forced GPU Rendering is checked in Samsung ROMs. Root Explorer is a good example. Try it yourself - open up Root Explorer and fling the screen up and down a few times. Then exit (properly, using the back button, not just clicking the home button) and check Force GPU Rendering in Settings. Open up Root Explorer and try flinging the screen again. Massive difference.
For a smoother and more AOSP-like experience, tick Force GPU Rendering.
Chameleon ThunderBolt! Addon
I've selected a some particular scripts for Chameleon from pikachu01's awesome ThunderBolt! collection.
Better performance, better battery life through Linux kernel tweaks catered for Android OS and flash memory.
Better battery life and performance through usage of screenstate_scaling whereby it switches thresholds/VM tunables depending on your screen state.
Less RAM usage through zipalign.
The screenstate_scaling addon will perform VM scaling and governor tunables scaling to get the best of battery life and performance.
TCP_Buffers script in /etc/bolt_scripts to increase TCP buffers for better network performance.

FAQ
I'm already on v1.0/1.1 Do I need to full wipe to use v1.2?
No, a non-wipe flash should be fine, although if you encounter any issues please perform a full wipe and test again before posting about possible bugs. If coming from any other Rom, you must wipe.
I just flashed it and my phone is running like a snail
As with all new installs, give the media scanner time to do its work and the system to build caches etc before judging the performance of (any) Rom
MTP is not working on my Mac
Make sure you have Android File Transfer installed, and, oddly, click on Camera (PTP) in the USB computer configuration dialogue

CyanogenMod 7 is a free, community built distribution of Android 2.3 (GingerBread) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.
We know that ICS is stable for us but CM7 is much more stable when it comes to FMradio, camera exposure, videocam and quality, gaming, A2SD and more.
So lets make it more stable and share the mods, tweaks, apps and stock appps here.
These are few things you should do after flashing CM7 on your P500-
1.Get the best camera libs with best exposure for your p500 here(me) or here(neko95)
2.Get a bundle of all fully working and pre tested tweaks by aspee here(aspee)
3.Get the latest kernel by DJNoXD here(DJNoXD)
4.Supercharge your memory here(zeppelinrox)
5.Fix for manual network search here(BusnjukAn)
6.Soft keys on statusbar, smooth spinner, jelly bean animations here(FitAmp)
7.Do nothing for battery backup, it's already excellent and better than ICS.
What are the other things according to you which make cm7 greater and more stable ? please post it here so that it could help me use GB instead of ICS, and I will update this post.

Is there a specific reason as to why every ROM I'm on, if I use PIE, or Halo I get ridiculous lag? My notification stutters a great amount, and it seems as if the phone struggles to even change menus in the settings. I can't seem to find any resolution to this problem. I love the Galaxy Note a great amount, but this is making me want to switch to another phone. I've tried almost everything possible, even to the point where I wiped all of my precious data.

I've noticed lag when dealing with Halo, do not use it an only used it to test. Have used PIE before but no lag as you mentioning. If you are running both that could be the reason. Personally I do not use either so disable those and you should notice a difference. If not, re-wipe and re-flash and start over.

what ROM are you running is a good question. if you have a ripple effect on lockscreen, disabling that can help. if not as suggested disabling you Halo and even Pie is a possible start. I would then go to application manager and force stop if process is still running and then clear cache.
see how it runs then. if no lag, you can always restart Pie to try again. if lag comes back, there is your problem. if you have the Halo option, then I have a pretty good idea what kind of ROM you are running. I would think that it is a 4.2 ROM. if that is the case, you most likely have some Kernal options to try.
if it is one of JAIMED81's ROM's, he has a Q&A thread and you could get recommendations there as to which Kernal will work with which ROM.
good luck

your right, my bad........this is a BRADL79 ROM
never the less, a cm based ROM ( I know, AOKP also), therefore going to suffer some of the same effects.
an alternate Kernal is still going to be the possible fix or alieviation to your side effects.

what I think I will do, is no longer quote what base a ROM is. maybe its just my terminology that is wrong. all the more reason right?
what I keep seeing in OP's is "all merges from CM10"(for example) now that I am paying a bit more attention, that is for kernel?
go easy on me, I am still trying to learn some of this stuff. I don't mean to give any offense in misquoting the base of a ROM. all respect to you and the others who sacrifice for us. I just try and help whenever I can so the big brains don't have to sweat the small stuff.
this may be the 2nd or maybe 3rd time you have caught me in my terminology blunder.
again, I will either double check or not quote.

again, I will either double check or not quote.
sorry JAIMED81

not at all Jaime............I was quoting wrong info to some new members here.
even though the information within regard to base was wrong, I do believe most help I give is accurate and true or at least steer foks in the right direction.
again, developers are the selfless ones here and I am merely trying to help where others have helped me.
Title says it all, I'm currently running CM on my GS4 and the only thing I miss from the Touchwiz Roms is the multi window, so is there any way to get it on CM? Thanks
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I briefly looked into it because I enjoy the multiwindow when it's themed black. I had no luck getting it to work. I still plan to work on it a bit though. Just don't have time right now.
Could settle for an AOSP Themed TW ROM / Google Edition.
Bump
Please allow me to bump this as I'd like the same.
This ROM ("OSE") claims to be AOSP based (CM11), but mentions it has multiwindow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2492235
My wish? Would be for multi-window to be flashable so I don't have to change from "standard CM". I just don't have time to research all the different ROMs with pros and cons...
Some copies of OmniROM quote having MultiWindow. If you want it badly enough, you can build it yourself into this ROM...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2556057
Here's a patch for OmniROM that isn't specific to any particular device that should add multiwindow. Some of the comments in the OP take away from my confidence in it for daily driving...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567667
Later in the thread it seems there may be some effort in getting this ported to CM but if anything, looks like they are waiting on Omni to finish it.
I guess for now I'll wait... probably switch between hyperdrive and "standard" CM until someone matures this and the community absorbs it...
Thanks to whoever may be working on this now...
This is a little kang I did for myself and after seeing the good response in my 4.4.2_R1 aosp thread I decided to post this for everyone to try out.
It's not a hugely modified rom, its largely aosp with enough tweaks and addons to make it "just right" for me.
When I run this rom, I don't use xposed/gravitybox and turn on art. Its smooth smooth smooth.
First and foremost, big thanks to something15525 as its his rom, I just added device specific stuff and compiled for geeb.
Full features list can be found here: https://github.com/SomethingExplosive/android_vendor_SoMeX/blob/somex-4.4/FEATURES.mkdn
Quick highlights:
This rom has Superuser baked in so no need to flash SuperSU.
AOSP gesture enabled keyboard
VoicePlus - Google Voice integration into any SMS app
CM Torch built in
Busybox - helpful tools for terminal manipulation
Extended Power Menu - Reboot, Recovery, and Bootloader access from the power menu
Customized QuickSettings Toggles (WiFi and Bluetooth) - no more long press to toggle
Clear Recents Button - One button to clear everything in the recent apps display
Modded/Added by me:
Apollo
DSPManager
Removed pinyinn and openwnn

For the full google experience use these gapps from Banks (Updated by Banks Dec. 14, 2013):

NFC fix for AT&T (Not needed anymore but left here for historical reasons):

Faux based geeb kernel option:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319195649
Down loaded and installed. Smooth, fast, and stable. I understand, that being first release, it misses some of the customization. Thanks for your work.
What is different between the included kernel and the Faux kernel?
Sweet.
So for clarity, you don't use xposed/gravity box but you do turn on art, or you also don't turn on art?

When I use the pure aosp build, I run xposed/gravitybox which in turn means I can't turn art on.
I'm running this rom now for the last few days without xposed/gravitybox and turn on art instead.
Art makes the phone even more responsive.

The faux kernel is more in line with faux's mako kernel release but with dual led green/red for canadian phones.
The included one is houstonns adreno kernel with added code for canadian phones with dual green/red led control.

The goal of this rom from the developers standpoint is to have minimal customization.
Think of it as aosp++
Just a few tweaks/addons without going insane and losing the stability and speed of aosp.

Appreciate your hard work. I was talking about simple customization such as bettery icon, time placement, quick setting tile rearrangement, etc. I wish you can add these customization.
Any trick to increase audio volume level ( I mean at max it is bit low)?
Cheers and merry Christmas.

Well, I think that this is not the ROM's goal. SoMeX is very close to aosp. If you want all that, you need either:
Another rom (cm)
Xposed and gravity box.
Cheers.

Sorry been busy with Christmas, this rom is aosp based, it looks like kitkat so screenshots don't really add much.
Any special recovery needed to flash this? Thinking about busting the OG out and flashing this.

Flashed this last night on my og, and I'm liking it a lot , all though since it is not my Dailey phone I do not have a Sim card in it to check for connection errors.
Can I request a mod please, a zip to enable soft keys and disable the hardware keys?

Sorry I'm not really into doing mods for my roms, but if someone wants to come up with a zip to do these things for you it would be welcomed in this thread!
Only reason I asked was, I tried the build prop edit adding "qemu.HW.mainkey=0" and went to the generic keypad and tried disabling the hardware keys and it didn't work.
Here is to hoping some one can write up a quick zip to do this.

I was on this ROM for a few days and had no issues at all! Very well done!
I switched to Slimkat for the extra features though, and I miss the colors this ROM has! What was edited...was it the gamma, the contrast, the levels? Is there a file I can edit to get the same overall color feel that this ROM has? What values are set for this ROM so I can match it on any other ROM I happen to try?

Something Explosive, every time I read that, I think Explosive? Something? Explosive Diarrhea.
But very cool to see someone make their own custom rom. So very cool!
