ProTip: Change "Window animation scale" and "Transition animation scale" both to "0.5x or 0.25x" in developer settings, feels good man.

It's a port from the Note II actually, although it is heavily using our libs. It is based on SlimRom, which itself is very lightweight and fast, add that to dvhexers's kernel improvements and it's quite nice. I will attempt to build this from source in the near future, smooth out the last few bugs and get a bit more performance out of it.
The porting process I used was sheer and utter frustration and perseverance. Initially I was trying to port the 4.2.2 version. Because the mako base was easier to me in my head, but I lost patience and changed too many things at a time and lost my stability and fixes I was making.
I based it loosely on this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598713
but I warn you, it's like he revised his post but didn't change everything to reflect that, and I couldn't find a 4.3 specific guide either. As far as porting from another device, the Note II was an exynos processor and a mali gpu, the sheer amount of time combing through libs and bins weeding them out was just intuition, and comparing against ours.
I used apktool 1.5.2 to split the apk apart, but it cannot repack the files, most likely need a new version for API 18 (4.3)
But, you CAN split two apk's apart, and replace the encrypted resource/xml/etc with one from a working apk, and zip it back up.
As far as unpacking the .img files, I used android image kitchen 1.5, 32bit. Mainly to be able to compare all the init.rc's and any additional .sh files, especially when coming from another device manufacturer. Search, read, try, and try again. Good Luck

Looks sweet. Can't wait to try it. Big thanks for bringing this to our OG's. I've said it once already tonight and I'll say it again, loving the support u guys are bringing to our beloved device. Thanks again. :thumbup:
Oh and sorry but I might of missed this but does this rom have Halo(2)?

No matter which gapps I flash I seem to get a fc on gallery.apk every time i open the "camera" app. "Focal" seems to work fine though. I have tried clearing cache and data for both camera can gallery, but it fc on open.
Oddly, gallery opens fine by its self.

Yes same here, I missed checking it while testing. I'll be sure to include a non retarded stock camera in the next build, which may be later today. In the interim you could always restore a known good camera with Titanium backup and see if that works. Thanks for the report though, I wasn't sure if it was just screwy on mine

I'm not 100% but from what I can find, e977 is like e975 international, so you need the geehrc kernel, houstonn has posted one that you can use with our 4.3 ROMs in this thread, he says camera will work with that.
http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/test
kernel-geehrc-houstonn-4.3-JSS-0901.zip
that's the newest GEEHRC kernel, make a backup of your EFS partitions if not already, and try it out.
one tool here from e975 forum, is a play store APK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324510
or, I used this one from CWM recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161611
Good Luck. Let me know if this works for you.,
<edit> E975 LG Optimus G forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1838
many E977 say E975 roms work, but if you use E970 roms here I think you must use houstonn's kernel.
</edit>

When doing a backup with TWRP, I think that includes EFS.
@[r.]GimP mind telling why you wanted to port a Exynos based ROM that is based on Slim? What's the advantage to using this vs slim? Or was this just a challenge to see if you could do it? Thanks for your effort though, more choices to those who want it.

I've never switched from CWM, and yes I think you're correct. Most updater-scripts that aren't written retarded include EFS backup also.
Never can be too safe tho.

Yes it does. Lost my GPS last night (for the first time ever) when flashing PACman. Restored EFS from my TWRP Nandroid of BeanStalk to fix it.

When can we expect a little stable build? I tried this.. Way too many problems.. None of my graphics intensive games run.. I was trying few things with talk back feature.. It continuously FCed and made the phone non usable.. Even after reboot. So to put it straight.. Its mostly unstable to use in my humble opinion!.

Not trying to be a jerk here, but as you appear to be relatively new here (based on post count, maybe you've been lurking long for all I know), but a couple points of courtesy that will get you farther as you stay here:
a) Please don't ask for ETAs. For anything. Ever.
b) If you are reporting errors, please include what you have done to reproduce them, and get and post logcats.
This is a development forum. If you require stability above all else and are unwilling or unable to provide data to help the devs fix issues, you should probably flash a stock ROM and move on.
MANY, if not most, of the ROMs posted here are stable enough for most people to run as a daily driver. However, there are ALWAYS going to be some glitches somewhere. Depending on your usage of the device, they may make certain ROMs not work for you as a daily. The devs all have other stuff going on in their lives and give us, as users, their time and expertise for free. Please pay them back with courtesy and assistance, rather than non-constructive desparaging comments.

If you want something stable then use Slim that this is based on.
Plus expect issues since this was just ported recently and only a week old. If you read what he said, he ported this from an Exynos device. Going to be a Iot work I imagine. Just post a reply if what is not working, how to repeat that issue. Maybe post a logcat.

Sorry If I came across as Rude, I never meant to.. I guess its rather the way I communicated, I will do all I can to Support the DEVS work for this community, we dont have many out there doing their bit to get us all the best ROMS out there but if there is one, we need to standby and support them in whatever way we can. I was trying to be informative and thought many would have faced the problems I faced and saw an opportunity to post one since nobody had it reported. Please accept my sincere apologies if I have hurt anybody in anyway here..
1) Graphic intensive games like Temple run 2 and Subway Surfer, refuse to load into the game.. it gets stuck at the initial screen and becomes non responsive, I had the DPI set to 240. I dont know whether that plays any part here. Has anybody tried running these games?
2) Secondly I tried enabling Talk back feature as I was randomly testing the settings tab, it gave me a non stop FC and disabled touch control. It was hard to reset that back. I tried rebooting but that didn't help either.
The above are the only flaws I could find other than that it was smooth as hell.. and I love the different take at the window animation and the overall look of this ROM.. I am so glad to see such ROMS coming into this community and appreciate every bit DEVs are doing to get this community growing.
Please let me know how else I can help. I will do all I can to help resolve the problems I faced. Thanks for a patient reading and Sorry again if I had upset anybody in anyway!
