Videos Of How To Flash By Xanthrax/srivas95 & Devicecustomizer(Hidden to reduce post size):
This is a CWM flashable ROM, not to be used through Odin
Backup apps etc via Titanium Backup
Move my .zip file to your SD Card (Internal Storage)
Reboot into CWM
YOU MUST PERFORM ‘wipe Data/Factory Reset’
Choose Install .zip from SD Card / Choose .zip from SD Card / XXEMA2CodecROM105BlackEdition.zip
Select yes from the options
Choose your options in AROMA Installer, wait until install finishes and reboot
If you refuse to read the thread and you ask a question that has been covered, i will ignore your post
If you find a bug, i want more than 'Hlap, mai fone broked'
You are flashing this at your own risk - I will not be held responsible for anything that goes wrong
ETA requests will be ignored
Requests for new mods will be read, not necessarily actioned
Rom Control only works in English, other languages will fc (Translations are being looked at)
If you are experiencing lag in the gallery, wait for the phone to finish loading/caching all the images
To repeat, i will not add in any Touchwiz features that aren't already in the ROM
Do not ask for ETA's or early changelogs...its rude
There will never be a non inverted option for this ROM

What do you think to having a section in the first post that details the known bug's and workarounds. Not that theres many.
Would maybe keep repetitive questions to a minimum

Anurag mate ! What about the flash player now ?

So far all the app devs confirmed their rich notifications do work on 4.1.2 so it's definitely a ROM bug. Can't expand with one finger... or 2. Only gmail rich notifications are working.
Development thread seems to be without developer so xanthrax drăguță mea, could you pass this to DSA? :beer:
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
OK mate , will see what can be done . I'm sure that DSA will see your post himself
And I am just dragut , not draguta ... he's calling me darling , in my language ... believing that I'm a girl ...
But I'm still not 100% sure that I understood your problem.
I noticed that the default application doesn't stick but for tapatalk only . I installed three different SMS apps and they stick as I want , the browser as well , popup is default and you can tell us about the others apps.
Thanx for posting

Sorry frate, my bad
I don't care about Tapatalk not sticking, not a deal breaker but rich notifications are a big problem.
If you have running foreground apps or apps with persistent icon you will notice that they appear in your drop down menu. With 4.1.1 they implemented "expansion" of those notifications, if the app supports it. In 4.1.1 it was done with a 2 finger swipe gesture, swiping the notification downwards was expanding it. Gmail app is an example.
With 4.1.2 they changed that behavior to single finger gesture, both for expansion and collapsing. This doesn't work on Codec 9.1 Also it's not working with 2 fingers. So basically I can't expand my notifications. This kind of a deal breaker since I use Lux with its rich notifications to adjust the screen brightness, dropping below normal 0 level. I checked stocks by expanding notification, so on and so forth.
I will take a screen shot from my tab, which runs 4.1.1 so you will have a clear idea.

I am using ●CodecROM™ 9.1 S.E● BETA | Black Edition
I am using Siyah kernel.
On a previous rom there was an option to change the dpi settings - I like it on 241.
There was no option in this rom.
So I pulled the build.prop file for /system and changed the SECOND of the 2 density settings to 241, I pushed the file back and rebooted. My phone just couldn't get bast the boot animation. I could only go to recovery, so I did, wiped and flashed again.
I then tried to change the dpi using the toolkit (from XDA), it said it was successful and asked to reboot - I did. Same problem again, can't get passed the bootanimation. Went to recovery, wiped and flashed.
Any idea how I can change the dpi?

I did it with the Codec 8.6...i just opened the built prop with text editor,changed the density,safed the changes and reboot.
Thats how i did it.Maybe this is a way to to it for you too

hi mate !
down below there are some pics showing you that DPI has been changed and how to .
i was using solid explorer to navigate to build.prop and toolbox for editing it.
first make a backup of your original build.prop somwhere .
open solid explorer and navigate to it root/system/build.prop . you must grant full acces to both apps when superSU requires.
open bulid.prop file and from the apps`s list offered to do it , choose build properties which is integrated on rom toolbox app , you don`t need to open rom toolbox (some others might work as well , haven`t tried it though)
then scroll down until you find ro.sf.lcd_density (in my pic has been already changed)
choose your desired default value for it , save and reboot .
that`s it ! the pics will help you
reverting to original 320 DPI , same way , same without problems
-=-=-
pushing another build.prop file onto your system , different than you currently use is not a good ideea
siyah 1.8 here , lulz/deadline/dual core
unfortunately , for my dear "brother" i couldn`t find an answer yet.
i`ve got you 100% percent now ( you should say REACH not RICH )
i was trying to use LUX app , but somehow my play store get nuts and doesn`t want to work ... gapps has stopped , investigating ...
might due to elk4 issue ... 4.1.2 still beta ...
My long press volume to skip song mod has gone since i flashed aosp lockscreen. Anyone got the flashable android policy?

Actually I'm writing it pretty correct, its called rich notifications.
I'm talking about this part of the code from Android; platform_framework_base/blob/master/core/java/android/app/Notification.java
In this code if you take a look at line 1395 & 1647 Android Code you will see that I'm not mistaken. Its often referred as "multimedia rich notification" as it handles some functions of apps like Lux does, or my IMKB stock app does. Also Android 4.1.2 change log shows that they changed it to 1 finger gesture from 2. AOSP Change Log - Line 256 - 257
Please take it to DSA and see if he has any clue. If he says he didn't mess around with the code than its probably a Samsung version bug for which I will file a report. But before doing that I would like to have DSA's opinion. Don't wanna report a bug which only happens to me (?)
Development has stopped for this ROM.

♦♦ Question and Answers by @clothednblack♦♦
Q. What is a clean flash?
A. Clean flash is as follows....
Boot to ss
Hit wipe
Slide to factory reset
Back out
Hit install
Find zip
Slide to install
This deletes everything except data. You will have to set the phone up again. All your pics and sounds and downloads are safe and will be there when you return.
Super clean install is as follows....
Boot to ss
Hit wipe
Hit advanced
Check all boxes except sdcard
Swipe to clean
Back out
Hit install
Find zip
Slide to flash
Reboot.
This will wipe everything on the phone, all pics, sounds, settings, everything will be gone, except the contents of the sdcard.
Q. What is a dirty flash?
A. Dirty flash is as follows...
Boot to ss
Hit install
Find zip file
Slide to flash
Reboot.
This deletes absolutely nothing, no wipe needed.
Q.What happens when I wipe data?
A.While in Safestrap if you select the "Wipe" button, you will then be taken to a screen with three options. Here is an attempt to somewhat clarify those options.
1. Swipe to Factory Reset - This is the most common way of wiping, and what is most commonly used for installing a new ROM. This option is considered a "Clean Flash".
2. Advanced Wipe - This option is used to specify partitions to wipe. It is generally okay to select all options here EXCEPT "Micro SDcard". This can also be used when doing a "Clean Flash".
3. Format Data - DO NOT USE the "Format Data" button. If you select it by accident you are going to be required to type the word "yes" to even proceed further. You have been hereby WARNED. If you refuse to heed this warning there is a good chance you will soft brick your phone.
Q. Can I flash to a slot?
A. Yes, you sure can. Expect bugs or issues, expect the reboot option in the power menu to NOT work.
Q. How do I flash a theme?
A. Flash the rom, then flash either S5 theme or GPE theme. You then can flash a color option for the GPE theme.
Q. How to I go back to stock?
A. Dirty flash the rom. (see above)
Q. Somethings are acting strange, is there a easy fix?
A. Boot to SS (safestrap) hit wipe, now hit advanced and check the cache and delvic cache box's ONLY! slide to wipe, reboot system.
Q. My signal is weak, is it the rom?
A. I highly doubt that, it's related to the modem and some are better than others depending where you are. Check out other Modems here.
Q. Where can I find the add-on'?
A. In the DK store. Hit menu/system settings/device then DK rom control.
Q. My battery life isn't very good, how can I find what's going on?
A. Download "wakelock detector" and "better battery stats". Then if you are still confused, take a screenshot and post it.
Q.What is that Bar on the top of my Status Bar?
A.That is the Miui Battery Bar, this can be altered or turned off in DK Rom Control under Status Bar Mods/Miui Battery Bar.
Q.Why do I have 2 batteries?
A.After first boot, You need to pick one to disable in Rom Control.
Q. How do I make my status bar transparent?
A. Go to the Rom Control and then tap status bar mods. Go down and tap "Status Bar Gradients." Now there should be 2 color options, just tap a color, then tap the box on the bottom right because that is the transparent. Do the same for the second color.
Q. Is off topic discussion allowed here?
A. Absolutely not, take it somewhere else..... Of course it's allowed here. We all love to chat, showoff, brag, and keep others in the loop. It's a big family in here!
Q. Reboot toggle isn't working?
A. It's a WIP, fix is in the works.
Q. How do I check apn settings?
A. Settings>Networks>More Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
From here, you can reset to default by hitting menu/reset to default

Guys,
Please keep in mind this is the Intial release and to be considered beta. In testing it seems fine but there could be bugs. Please let me know what is happening. I will use your data to decide to stay with NC2 or fall back to MLG for my Kit Kat based rom.

Rom slots are not supported by Hash, therefore not supported by me.
That being said, Wally3685 is telling me that Slots are working fine with 1500mb for system and data partitions, and 400 for cache.
In my personal testing it seemed to work however the rom would not reboot and had to hard reset everytime.
Try at your own risk, i will only support Stock slot ATM.
Brian
Thank you! Downloading now. Will report any bugs.

I believe there will be several devs stepping up to KK in the near future. I forsee alot of great work coming from several people soon.
Glad to see this! I will be downloading when there are more bug reports. I will be out of town for work so I can't afford to have bugs at the current moment.
Hope that doesn't ruffle any feathers.

Hey everyone - me again, resident no-one-in-particular. Much like my previous forays into "projects"... I'm finally getting to where I feel good about posting this little mess - and it only took 4 months! Clearly I am still lacking a bit in the speed department, but hopefully folks enjoy what I've managed to muster together so far. This was originally based on the stock UVUDNF1 T-Mobile TouchWiz 4.4.2 and is now based on the stock UVUDNF9 4.4.2 base - the most recent official update at the time of writing this post... In other words - this is a stock modified T-Mobile rom! As I already mentioned this took quite a while to put together as a number of my tinkerings had to be more or less reworked from scratch (stemming from tinkerings on other devices and changes between 4.3 and 4.4.2 - and even between 4.4.2 builds), but on the upside I'm pretty happy with how things have turned out.
It should be noted that I still consider this a work in progress, so even though there are a number of things that I still want to include - at the time of writing this post I feel enough is done to warrant it actually being posted. That way others (assuming others give it a shot) can let me know if things don't work or if any oddities come up. Also feel free to comment on how this might improve, if I've gone about anything in a not-so-smart way, or if there is anything you would like to see (or wish wasn't there) - I can't promise I'll do anything about it, but such requests keep me motivated and learning, and thats been the driving force behind my tinkering since it began really
[size=+2]I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS (GOOD OR BAD) AS A RESULT OF FLASHING OR ATTEMPTING TO FLASH WHAT IS POSTED HERE![/size]
In an attempt to keep things clear and concise, see below for links to posts containing various bits of should-be-read info on what this is all about.
[size=+1]PLEASE NOTE:[/size] Make sure to THANK @RErick because without him the deep sleep issues that result from a disconnect between the ATT 4.4.2 kernel and the NF9/NF4/NF1 /system base would still be with us - BUT THAT IS NO LONGER THE CASE! As of Tweaked 3.9 all fixes are now included in the main install - and thanks again to RErick for the hard work on solving the deep sleep woes!

[size=+2]TWRP/Safestrap Installation instructions[/size]:
While this rom does offer some customizable options at install - THE CUSTOMIZATION PROCESS IS NOT QUITE THE SAME AS OTHER ROMS!!
What does this mean? Well, if you want to tailor your installation using some of the available options, you'll have to read up on how to do so.
Wut?!? I have to read then!?! NOO!!!!
LOL - well like I said you really don't HAVE to read about this, it's only if you want to customize things outside of the default setup. If you don't want to customize anything, then simply flash the main TweakedN3 zip and be on your way. NOTE:Info on default and custom install options can be found in the installation instructions zip!
So you want to customize the install? Sounds good - and read on.
This was an idea that I started using over on the Note2 (though I've changed what I consider "default" a bit), and given the lack of aroma capabilities while using safestrap it at least offers an approach that lets users customize things a bit. Another advantage (for those that like customizing a bit at install anyway) is that after an initial step - future re-flashes of the rom will always utilize the same selections (assuming you don't delete some files in a particular directory of course). This should be a boon to those that enjoy flashing this and that, as the process of reinstalling this will now be tailored to what you want. [size=+1]NOTE:[/size] Unless you use the default approach you will most likely need to edit/redo this process for each update to make sure all new/edited options are up-to-date! This isn't excessively relevant yet, but it will be soon enough I imagine.
A complete explanation of the customizable-install approach can be found in this post, but for the sake of brevity and simplicity I am going to focus on the approach most fitting to the general (or new-to-flashing) user.
Before getting into that though, remember that the usual rules still apply:
- While very much stable in my experience you should be cautious whenever you flash. Make sure to wipe data/factory reset to avoid issues.
- I highly recommend wiping data before getting started with any of this. This is just a recommendation - not a requirement - though if you have issues that is almost always one of the first recommended fixes.
- I also recommend you already be on the 4.4.2 update, as this is a 4.4.2 rom and I imagine requires (or if nothing else works best with) a 4.4.2 kernel
- Tweaked needs to be flashed in a custom recovery - and thanks to the hardwork of @Hashcode this can be done via his Safestrap that can be found here. Make sure to THANK HIM for this, as none of this would be possible without his work!
[size=+1]THE SUPER SIMPLE SAFE APPROACH[/size]
Well the super simplest of all approaches would be to just flash the main install zip. For those that tried any of the 4.4.2 alpha/beta zips discussed here the result will be very similar to what was experienced with those. For those that would like to tailor the install a bit, you'll need to check out this post for instructions. Basically there is a directory you need to place on your internal or external sd card, and inside that directory are files that can be edited to reflect the particulars you would like to be installed.
Below is what I would consider the general fits-whatever-install-approach-you-chose installation instructions:
[size=+1]THE GENERAL APPROACH[/size]
- Backup your current setup/data
- Decide which install route (default/custom) is best for you
- Download the main installer and put it on your internal/external sdcard
- If you decided on the custom install route
--- Download relevant zip for said approach
--- Extract directory inside zip and place it on internal/external sdcard as instructed
--- Edit install.prop and anything else required to reflect your install choices
- Boot into safestrap recovery thanks to Hashcode
- Recommended to wipe data/factory reset
- Select and install the main Tweaked rom .zip you put on your sdcard

[size=+2]How to custom install Tweaked[/size]
So you've decided to customize the install a bit eh? Good to hear.
[size=+2]NOTE:[/size] For this approach please be aware that the process will likely need to be redone with new versions to make sure you have access to all available options!
I will try to keep changes to these files minimal, but changes are inevitable, so make sure to stay up-to-date with the version you are flashing, as otherise you will likely get the default install!
[size=+2]ALSO -[/size] with this custom install approach you can place the TweakedInstall directory on either the internal or external sdcard. That being said, in general if you have a TweakedInstall directory on BOTH your external AND internal sdcard, the files in the external sdcard directory will be chosen over those in the internal sdcard directory. Furthermore - it is VERY important that you DO NOT RENAME ANY OF THE FILES OR THE DIRECTORY! If you do you will likely get a default install when flashing the main installer (not the worst thing of course).
[size=+2]----- CUSTOM -----[/size]
This approach requires changes you will have to do, and therefore needs a little reading and preparing ahead of time. In order to help things along, I've put together a zip file (see downloads post here) with instructions and needed files - make sure to read the... well, the README! The contents of that readme file are below:
--- From the READMEFIRST-INSTRUCTIONS.txt in the ATTInstallInfo.zip file ---
####################################
# HOW TO CUSTOM INSTALL ON ATT: #
####################################
### NOTE: THE INSTALL.PROP EDITING DESCRIBED HERE ###
### NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO FLASHING THE ROM! ###
1) Decide if you will be editing text files on the computer or the phone
- regardless of where you do this, the result must go in a specific directory on your internal/external sdcard (see below)
- if you use a computer to edit, make sure it uses the Unix-style end-of-line character (you can use Notepad++ on a PC)
- Not all text editors work as you need them to if doing this on the phone - I have only tried it using the built-in text editor in Root Explorer
######## THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND A SOURCE FOR SIMPLE MISTAKES - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! ########
2) Extract the TweakedInstall folder (either on PC or extract it to the ROOT of your sdcard - internal OR external)
- Inside are five files - the main one of interest for installing is install.prop
3) Open install.prop using a text editor and read the instructions
- it is on this file you select options
- this is similar in idea to how aroma works
- ALL you are doing with this is changing the numbers that come after the = signs
- DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE! ONLY NUMBERS!
- Follow the instructions for what each number means for each choice
4) Complete any other OPTIONAL file edits per how you want to install
OPTIONS INCLUDE (these are for the more advanced users around - THEY ARE NOT NEEDED AND CAN BE IGNORED):
- If you opted to further debloat beyond available options and have set dangertweak to = 1
- edit the applist file with the apk name that you want removed
- ONE APK PER LINE
- see baseapplist.txt for a list of apk names that are included on /system as "default"
- If you opted to keep some pre-existing system files and have set savelist to = 1
- edit the savelist file with the full path to the file you want saved
- so for example if you wanted to save a script file called 02ForExample that was in the init.d folder, you would enter
/system/etc/init.d/02ForExample
into the savelist file
- ONE PATH PER LINE
5) Make sure the directory along with your newly-edited files are moved to your sdcard if not already
### IMPORTANT: THIS DIRECTORY HAS TO BE AT THE ROOT OF YOUR SDCARD (INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL)!! ###
### IMPORTANT: THE NAME OF THIS DIRECTORY MUST NOT CHANGE!! ###
### IMPORTANT: YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! ###
6) Boot into recovery and flash the Tweaked rom zip
TAKE HOME:
The edited install.prop file (and optional ones related to it) being kept in the TweakedInstall directory on your sdcard will make it so you won't need to do any choosing the next time you want to flash the main installer. You can always come back to or reflash Tweaked exactly how you have set it up with no extra effort!
#########################################
# HOW TO USE MODIFICATINATOR ON ATT: #
#########################################
### NOTE: THE MODIFY.PROP EDITING DESCRIBED HERE IS ###
### TO BE DONE WHEN WANTING TO MAKE CHANGES AFTER ###
### THE ROM HAS BEEN INSTALLED! THE EDITS NEEDS TO BE ###
### COMPLETED PRIOR TO FLASHING THE MODIFICATINATOR! ###
Ok, let's say you've installed the rom and made a few custom selections, or regret not making some in hindsight. You can - without reflashing the entire rom - just go through and install/uninstall the particular thing you want to change using the modificatinator zip. BUT - it also requires you to do edits SIMILAR (but NOT IDENTICAL) to those you made to the install.prop, however in this case you will be using the modify.prop file. If you followed the above instructions for preparing a custom install, the modify.prop will be in the same directory as your install.prop.
1) Decide if you will be editing the modify.prop on the computer or the phone
- regardless of where you do this, the result must go in the same specific directory on your internal/external sdcard that the other files mentioned above are in
- if you use a computer to edit, make sure it uses the Unix-style end-of-line character (you can use Notepad++ on a PC)
- Not all text editors work as you need them to if doing this on the phone - I have only tried it using the built-in text editor in Root Explorer
2) Open modify.prop using a text editor and read the instructions
- it is on this file you select options
- this is similar in idea to how aroma works
- ALL you are doing with this is changing the numbers that come after the = signs
- DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE! ONLY NUMBERS!
- Follow the instructions for what each number means for each choice. PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THE NUMBERS MEAN!
4) Move the edited modify.prop to the proper directory (same one the install.prop is in) if not already
### IMPORTANT: THIS DIRECTORY HAS TO BE AT THE ROOT OF YOUR SDCARD (INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL)!! ###
### IMPORTANT: THE NAME OF THIS DIRECTORY MUST NOT CHANGE!! ###
### IMPORTANT: YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! ###
6) Boot into recovery and flash the modificatinator zip
TAKE HOME:
The edited modify.prop being kept in the TweakedInstall directory on your sdcard will need to be edited every time you want to use the modificatinator zip.
### WHEN EDITING TO MAKE A SELECTION MAKE SURE THAT ANY OPTIONS YOU HAD PREVIOUSLY SELECTED HAVE BEEN EDITED BACK TO "NO CHANGE" VALUES AS WELL!!! ###
--- End READMEFIRST-INSTRUCTIONS.txt -
The hope is that these instructions are as simple but as thorough as possible for those wanting to embark on the custom approach.
[size=+2]FAQ[/size]
Q: What the hell is TSMParts (new option in Settings menu)?
A: An interface for a huge slew of mods and tweaks, the base of which was originally put together by the original members of TSM and has since been inspired by impressive works of numerous others - the TSM Parts interface acts as a control for all of the customizable fun available. There are a large number of options there - so make sure to check them all out!
Q: TSMParts is asking for superuser access?!?
A: Yep - there are some options that will need it, so make sure you grant it!
Q: I'm having overlap issues with statusbar icons and center clock - what should I do?
A: Yeah - things may overlap, so you will have to either change settings to avoid the issue or just deal with it.
Q: I set a statusbar icon to hide, but it's still there. What gives?
A: The statusbar icon tweaks may require a little effort on your part for changes to take effect. All changes can be elicited with a reboot/hotboot, BUT for most there are other ways:
-- Bluetooth/vibrate-silent/alarm icons/ime/nfc/wificalling -- just change their state (on/off or vibrate/sound, etc)
-- No sim -- if the notification is already active you will need to reboot/hotboot to hide it
-- smart "eye" icon -- changes will happen once the eye triggers
Q: How is battery life on this rom?
A: This is a stock modified rom. As such, battery life will be equivalent to stock were you to be running a similar array of apps and kernel - it really should be no different than stock otherwise (which imo is not half bad really). The kernel and misbehaving 3rd party apps have more to do with battery life than a modified stock rom - at least in my opinion (and experience, though it's limited).
Q: So tethering is a common topic... can it be done with this?
A: To be honest I am unsure as to how tethering will behave using AT&T as the carrier... there was an annoying upsell message that TMo folks would get that I tried to set up to avoid, but in theory tethering SHOULD work on this. I will update this once it has been confirmed by a few folks
Q: Why isn't the accurate data icon mod working!!?!
A: The only time that mod shows an effect is when you are on the T-Mobile or ATT network - I don't believe other networks will see a change in data icon behavior.
Q: What is this LMT thing? How do you use it?
A: You need to check out noname81's thread here for info on that!
Q: Why can't I toggle off/on the security settings for exchange-based emails using the stock email client?
A: Mostly because I haven't been able to figure out how to do it. As long as you set it up to how you want PRIOR to setting up the account, AND you don't change the setting later - you should be fine.
Q: Why is it that when I swap the settings UI type the settings icon itself seems to move in the app drawer?
A: The toggling of the two UI types make the SecSettings package "appear" different to the system, so it's location in the app drawer may change after toggling depending on the launcher and settings used. This is normal and of no concern.
Q: I have an N9005 - can I flash this?
A: Thankfully the N9005 can pretty much flash any N900T rom, but there can be issues with things like wifi/bluetooth/nfc. Thanks to some due diligence searching of @galaningenieros and his pointing to the good work of @cdmvirt here, you can fix it right up by flashing the files found in this post!
Q: I'm getting a force close when I try toggling N3/S5 in TSMParts > Statusbar options... WHY YOU MAKE ME BREAK MY PHONE?!?!!
A: This has been an odd one, but it appears as if the blame resides within a few xposed modules. In particular, the iOS battery module and wanam have both been implicated. I will try to come up with a way around it, but if you uninstall these modules your toggling experiences should improve.
Q: I flashed this in safestrap and either used an old install.prop or none at all - why did I get an AT&T install?!?
A: I did this on purpose - I made it so when flashing it assumes that if you are using the default install.prop and in safestrap that you want an ATT-ified install (assumes you have an N900A and ATT as a service provider). If this is NOT the case - you can override this by updating or setting up a current install.prop
Q: Why don't you mention blah blah blah in your FAQ? It would have helped me a lot!
A: My bad - PM me anything you think should be added to this that would be helpful for the general user base!
[size=+2]Miscellaneous Notes[/size]:
- [size=+1]REMEMBER -[/size] Regardless of what install approach you use you can always use the Modificatinator to un/re/do virtually [size=+1]ANY[/size] of the options available to you in the main install! No need to reflash the whole rom!
Even if you don't use it right away, make sure to GRAB THE MODIFICATINATOR HERE NOW so you have it if you want it later!!
- Updates that come after the initial release MAY also have a flash-update-only option - whether or not it does just depends on the specifics of the update. [size=+1]NOTE:[/size] Depending on what is updated, an update-only flashable may break things if you are themed! I will try to avoid this as much as possible, but all it takes is a minor edit to a framework-res.apk string (for example) to necessitate an overwriting of a file typically quite important for themers (resources.arsc) - just be mindful of this please
- This is still pretty much an unthemed rom - so if any would like to change this PLEASE let me know (a themer I am not!). This is reflective of the thinking behind the whole setup as being nothing more than stock with some extra options. On that note - for those that like flashing various mods and what not, be wary - unless it specifies that it was made to work with Tweaked it likely will not.
- If you are unable to grab a logcat of a force close/issue, there is a directory on your phone that may contain files I can use in a similar way.
/data/log/ is the directory, and the files that offer tidbits and clues as to what the issue was start with the name "dumpstate_". If you send those to me along with an explanation of what went wrong, I will be much quicker to figuring out (and hopefully resolving) the issue!

[size=+2]---LIKE THEMES?---[/size]
Good! As time goes on hopefully there will be an increasing number of themes made SPECIFIC FOR TWEAKED!

Alright - things should be all set now
This wasn't all that popular before, and I know it looks a bit convoluted - but I hope those who have tried it in the past will feel some level of familiarity with it!
I hope all goes well, and apologies for any issues that may arise
Thanks bro!!! Hoping this works out for me!!! Keep beastin bro

so can you just flash the rom without the custom install or is that a requirement for the att version?

No need to use the custom install if you don't want to customize the install beyond the default - you can just flash it.
Is there a better way to portray that in the OP(s)? That is definitely the feeling I wanted to convey, and not surprisingly it seems I fell a bit short of the mark

Was been a bit cautious that's all, at first it sounded mandatory (myable BC I've been working all night) I installed it with material L theme and boy is it smooth, I might have to return my G3 now. Thank you!
Awesome thank you! Can't wait to download and flash this beast! Wallys themes are sick.
@dwitherell,
Thanks so much for giving us another ROM option for our ATT Note 3. Install went without issue. I had an issue with data, but added an apn from here and now have data. Had an issue with wifi passwords being remembered after a reboot, but applied fix from @Walter.White ...."Change the following line in build.prop:- ro.securestorage.support=true to false" and wifi passwords seems to be sticking after reboot.
I'll let you know if I see anything else. Once again...thanks very much.

Nice
I'm curious - are you seeing the wifi calling toggle? It almost seems like you didn't get the ATT stuff in the install process - and that should have included ATT apns and an ATT build.prop with that securestorage edit. Let me know
*BEFORE INSTALLING THIS OR ANYTHING THAT MODIFIES YOUR SYSTEM MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!!!
OZOP ROM v4One Zip One Place with Missing Link Theme Builder
I started out theming back on my S2 and created what is now called "Missing Link"
As any themer/developer knows, these things take test, after test, after test, to get things working and looking properly !!!
The problem is, every time things get left behind and garbage files build up until the ROM isn't running just how I like.
I USED to have to wipe everything and flash the Base ROM, then flash seperate file after file, or mods and theme options to get it back to where i wanted it and this is where O.Z.O.P. is born!!!
My idea for this project is to have One Zip file in One Place with EVERYTHING you could want or need to build a new and different ROM when you feel the need for change. So this will DEFINITELY be W.I.P. and grow with more and more to come, and go if need be!!
So Here is a run down of the options given to you during the Aroma Installation
Starting with
*Backup/Restore your current settings, accounts, Bluetooth/WiFi pairings, text messages and setting with call logs, very convenient when you are a pure flashaholic like myself.
There is definitely a right way and wrong way to apply your restoration.
Don't worry that I've testing it thousands of times literally.
click for instructions on Backup/Restore Script
Right now the complete Restore Script isn't working in the same flash session as the ROM install.
follow these to reduce problems
1) In recovery run the "Backup Script"
2) Flash the ROM (of your choice)
3) in the same session run "Restore Script" and any other mods you want. This will get your account sign in finished
4) let the phone boot up and finish the "Set up Wizard"
5) now boot to recovery and run the "Restore Script" and this will finish restoring your settings options and text messages.
if you have "force close of android.process.acore" or any other force close issue
***THE FIX EVER TIME IS GET TO RECOVERY AND FIX PERMISSIONS!!! *** Simple as that.
*WIPES
choose cache and dalvik cache wipe or go for the Full Wipe

I have been porting this from my old S2 for about a month now and it's finally getting close enough for a public release.
This is most definitely a WIP!! Basically what you will get from this is a Stock deodexed debloated ROM packaged inside an Aroma zip that will be usable with any TW ROM. The utility script has options for Backup/Restore of your current setup (saves that annoying 10 minutes after booting a new ROM), options for Stock or Custom Kernels, Themed Gapps, a handful of Key apps and Tools to get you by. There is a section for Mods and System Tweaking Scripts and then there is "THE MISSING LINK" Theme builder inside the same file. You have the option to pick from 4 pre-built themes or go for the Build-a-Theme option will when I get it dialed will have literally Unlimited options for new theme option. The Theme options are Vrtheme for universal compatibility. You will be able to choose from ootions like Dialerpad Backgrounds and Numbers, Signalbars, Data Icons/Arrows, Volume and Brightness Sliders, Spinners, Settings Backgrounds, Pulldown Backgrounds, and a Base System Option which will theme to match, those apks will include Framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, SecSettings.apk, SecMms_Blue.apk, SecTele and InCallUi.apks, Keyguard.apk and some of the other common system apks.
You will also have options that allow Custom Bootanimations/Shutdown Animations.
Remember this is work in progress. I will be uploading it soon. The script will be complete and fully functional with notes about what isn't working. The Script is a huge part of this project because it has soooo many options with most options having either a still shot or Animated previews for those features (Bootanimation, Spinners and Animated Pulldown Bars)
I am always open for new ideas and please let me know if things aren't working. Thanks again.
I will be working on this OP in time to properly label what is going on and to give credits where they are do. This project wouldn't be possible without all of the brilliant minds here on XDA!!!

Thank you for your patience. I will be back to my PC shortly to clean up the OP with more details. For now
HERE
is the link to the download.
Remember everyone, this is W.I.P. with more to come.
**Right now the Installer Script is complete and fully functional. There are some features that are not ready and this is Clearly stated in the installer.
***The ROM is based off this Stock NG3
and is a separate download right now. Hence the BETA v3 title. The next release coming soon will include the ROM base.
**This file is designed as an AIO ROM builder, as in flash any TW ROM and tweak/theme it with this zip file.
**I WILL BE DOING MAJOR CLEAN UP TO THE OP SHORTLY FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING.
Thank you
Uploading v1 now... Any takers?
I am uploading an update for this right now.
Just so everyone knows, when this is 100% functional it will not be just a ROM with add-ons, it is setup and designed to work with any TW ROM running KK. The ROM base is simply there for people who want to build your ROM or for people running a custom ROM and ate missing that one feature. I plan to have as many custom features, mods and tweaks available as possible.
The Theming sections is absolutely awesome and so much fun to mix and match for a custom one of a kind look.
With the help of the users and permissions from other developers I think this can become a community project for us all to sharw while we are running our lives with this decice in hand.
Sorry I don't have the most beautiful OP or even the informative for that matter. I will get it there. Stick with me a be patient and we will all be happy.
I am open for suggestions or any comments.
Thank you for checking this out.
Here is the link for Not Now v1
I'm about to try it out but I'm a bit confused. Do I install this after I install an NG3 ROM i.e infinity ROM?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sorry for the confusion. For now it is to be installed after a ROM is installed. I am still building the ROM that will be inside. I have been running Infinity since last night and it runs flawless with the additional mods I ran as well as themed perfectly.
I have A LOT to explain to everyone about what this is.
Here is what I do
1) download and put zip on internal sdcard (just loads faster)
2) run "Not Now zip" to make a Backup of my current setup and do the full wipe while in the installer (make sure and uncheck "reboot device" at the end since you will have wipes your ROM)
3)install what ever ROM you like
4)run "Not Now" again for modding/tweaking/theming and to restore your info.
5)reboot and enjoy
Or option two
If you don't want to install a new rom
1)download and put on intSD
2)run "Not Now" for what ever you please.
Enjoy and if something doesn't stick let me know so I can make the necessary fixes. Thank
I might give this a go . If im understanding correctly this is kinda like a more advanced aroma installer ? Or do i have the option to make al the changes after the Rom is installed?

Sorry for the confusion. For now it is to be installed after a ROM is installed. I am still building the ROM that will be inside. I have been running Infinity since last night and it runs flawless with the additional mods I ran as well as themed perfectly.
I have A LOT to explain to everyone about what this is.
Here is what I do
1) download and put zip on internal sdcard (just loads faster)
2) run "Not Now zip" to make a Backup of my current setup and do the full wipe while in the installer (make sure and uncheck "reboot device" at the end since you will have wipes your ROM)
3)install what ever ROM you like
4)run "Not Now" again for modding/tweaking/theming and to restore your info.
5)reboot and enjoy
Or option two
If you don't want to install a new rom
1)download and put on intSD
2)run "Not Now" for what ever you please.
Enjoy and if something doesn't stick let me know so I can make the necessary fixes. Thank

I've ran both and had no problems. I try for universal compatibility, with Touch Wiz 4.4.2 Kit Kat. Most of this is script and vrtheme mods.
To further answer your question, yes this is a very advanced Aroma Installer. It is designed to come back later from time to time and play with mods and themes. It is still light on the mods side since I've only just begun. I've had no major issues.
The first bug I've ran in to is Play Store not installing. So far that is the only thing I need to rework.
Also I just noticed that "Camera" options aren't making it in to the install either, this is weird because this just bately started on beta v3. Don't worry though. Should have those things fixed and more options to come in the next release.
Can you run this on Alliance Rom V5 G900F o just the US T-mobile G900T ? Probably wont wait for reply my ORD illness needs some medicine .

Should run fine on that version. I've noticed when I run this on Alliance ROMs all the main options run just fine. When running themeing options you have to have "Rom control" options set to default (signalbars or anything modified by "Not Now" will only show in default options)
v2 is ready for downloading
Check the OP for link and changelog.
Still working on the getting the OP updated with all the info about this.
Basically this now includes a debloated NG3 ROM as well as more mod options and filled in a lot of missing images for theming. Still a long way from being where I want it, but this is a good start and with plenty of options and stability for a Daily Driver.
Any comments or suggestions are always welcome.
Just used this. I love it. So many cool options.
Requests:
An option to quickly remove something you've installed with the app.
please add LMT launcher.

I have a ton of mods options ready to be added, but my PC is having issues with apktool and I'm unable to recompile right now. It'll get there though... Sooner than later I'm hoping!
A couple of possible bugs in the latest script
1) the "Full Wipe" option is not working. So if your installing from a different ROM I recommend using "Factory reset" in rocover to prevent issues
2)if you install "Black Dialer" with this or any other Odex ROMs the oded file needs to be removed or named changed to "odex.bak"
Other than that things are coming along smooth. Over the next few weeks I will be working alot on the "Theme" options and getting "Mods" added.
Let me know of any issues or requests
Thanks
Can someone post pics of the themes? Any AOSP themes?

Working on putting together some screenshots for everyone.
As far as AOSP themes? Not sure if you are looking for AOSP like themes or AOSP compatible themes? Either way, no, the themes here are compatible with 4.4.2 Kit Kat TouchWiz ROMs.
On a side note, how are people doing with the installer? Is it confusing? Are you understanding how to see previews of your theme options? Are things working? I have and update with theming coming along real nicely. I am still having issues with decompile/compile, so I'm not able to get the mods I want as of yet. I'll get my pc formated and setup very soon and then the mods will be here.
Here are a few shots of some theming. Its hard to say which theme it is because of the ability to mix and match what you want.

Oh I meant aosp styled themes for TW.
Sorry for the confusion.
MegaKat for the Metro Galaxy Mega is finally here...
NOT FOR I9205 OR I9200
ONLY FOR METRO GALAXY MEGA 6.3
MegaKat Metro V32X has the same enhancements and tweaks as MegaKat V32X i9205
MegaKat Metro v32X:
Note 5 Ram management optimizations for instant recent apps and switching between apps
Camera overhauled with test shots in the i9205 thread
Super fast and efficient
Shut Down All Knox Security Lockouts
Removed Any Sd Card Locks
Modded Secure Storage
Rebuilt Dalvik and Cache Controller
Camera Optimizations
Removed All Data Mining Via System Apks
Volume Boosted at System Level
I Skipped To V26 As This Build Should Be Way Better
Other Significant Improvements....enjoy
MegaKat Metro V2:
Adds simply updated root binary with a non rooted zip of v2 to follow
Features of V1:
Deodexed
***Rooted: an issue with root binaries on 4.4.4 tw causing root issue
Zipaligned
BusyBox
All KNOX Removed
Insanely Fast
2d Rendering Optimized
3d Rendering Optimized
Framelocked at 60fps
Amazing Battery Life: average 5.5 hours screen on and 34 hours total
Additional optimizations and refinements
***Same tweaks and optimizations as MegaKat V12 for i9205
Known Issues:
The only known issue so far is root...the binaries have not been updated so even though I rooted the rom since it's 4.4.4 and apparently the proper root binaries have yet to be released there is no root as of yet...obviously as we get it I'll update it but you should be able to root once autoroot comes out for the new 4.4.4 build.
Flashing Instructions
*Thanks Zeuszoos for the write up...original write up with dirty flashing instructions posted in the thread from the link below...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62506291
Dowload the following file first, before you begin with anything:
Google Play Services Apk: https://db.tt/xUVseaZ7
The link is for the "prior to 5.x" and "240 dpi" version of Google Play Services (the device's Default) and is the "034" version of this Services install (just FYI).
Install Steps: Clean flash/clean setup
00) It's always reco to odin flash the stock rom base to start with a stable platform to run off...and as always for the fastest most efficient stable issue free experience...clean flash/clean setup
01) Perform a NanDroid backup of current build
02) Copy the "MegaKat Metro Rom VXxX zip" to your external sd card
03) Reboot into PhilZ Touch Recovery (6.48.4).
04) Wipe: clear data/cache/dalvik/system...or factory reset/wipe
05) Choose "Install Zip".
06) Browse to the "MegaKat Metro Vxxx" Zip file and then select it...
07)Let the rom flash until complete
08) Reboot normally and let everything load to start up
09)Let your Mega rest for 10-15 mins
10) Reboot Into Recovery
11) Select "PhilZ Settings".
12) Run "Re-Root System (SuperSU)" and Reboot.
13) Go into the Google Play Store and Download and Install the SuperSU app
*(if you already had Pro installed, then it will still be installed. Go to Pro instead and uninstall it, then install SuperSU).
(**SuperSu Pro tip cont... If you bought "SuperSU Pro", in order to get it to recognize Pro, open up the SuperSU app and go into its Settings and use the "Go Pro" option to install Pro. When you exit back to SuperSU, it will recognize that Pro is installed.)
14)Open SuperSu...Ok...NORMAL...let supersu install binaries into system
15) Reboot the device.
16)Install your apps/root apps
17) Remember to open root apps and grant root acces
18)Enable Dev Options...Uncheck Force Gpu Rendering
19)Perform a NanDroid backup once your setup is nailed down
20)Let your build settle in for the typical 3-4 charge cycles then adjust your setup accordingly...
Remember to check out the op2 in Megakat main thread for optimizing your setup
Flashing Notes...
* If, after installing MegaKat Metro you see the following error after the rom boots up...
"Google Play Services Error"
(Above Status Bar)...then install the Play Services Apk at this point and Reboot... Then continue on with the Steps. If it happened at Step 6 and you missed it, trust me, you'll definitely know when you get to Step 13 trying to open play store
No worries though! Just do the same thing there!
...Enjoy the MegaKat Metro Rom...

***DO NOT copy my work, mirror it, or host it on another site witho it my permission
***DO NOT steal my time and effort...i took the time to build the rom for you guys the least you could do is give credit where credit is due and a thanks if you appreciate the work
***I am not responsible for the choices you make with your life, device, or dinner...the choice to root or rom was yours and yours alone I bear no responsibility if you attempt to flash my rom and it blows up in your face or runs off with your fiance lol

In my op2 I like to share apks, apps, mods, tweaks, ringtones, and hd backgrounds...if you post to the thread I'll add it here to the op2...im always adding kit to this op typically every few days I'll add a new zooper widget, background or apk...enjoy
My personal setup step by step...
For the absolute most optimal setup follow these few simple steps to take FireKat to a whole new level and make your Note 4 run unlike any other...enjoy
I've had so many requests for this here ya go...here's how I do my exact setup...absolutely most optimized possible
....
1. Uncheck Force Gpu Rendering in developer options...about phone, click FireKat VXxX(whatever build your on) 10 times to unlock dev options
2. Use Wanam and Xposed to deactivate Dvsf under Advanced in Wanam...dramatic boost in responsiveness, lower running temp, no screen dimming or cpu throttling
3. Change Animation and Transition settings in developer options...set all 3 from 1.0x to 0.5x. ..another huge boost to responsiveness and speed of any launcher
4. Greenify all downloaded user apps...Dont touch system app/don't activate greenify xposed mod
5. Disable the follow apps
Samsung Push Service
Google Chrome
Google Books
Google Magazines
Google Music
Google Hangouts
Google Plus
*obviously unless you use any of the above
6. Install latest Google Play Services apk...def seems to have lower battery drain that previous few apks
7. Disable google location history and location reporting...doesn't affect maps or g now at all only stops a ton of data mining and wake locks
8. Do not use power saving mode...it defeats the optimizations and tweaks I've done to make the battery life so awesome
Enjoy the new build...latterly for those who want v1 on crack and steroids...use multicore controller or setcpu to max throttle the cpu to 2.7 ghz full time on performance governor lol then you're head will be spinning
Mega
*Restore Full User Write Access to SD Card: will be reinstating this final hack in v4 but you can It yourself if necessary: use a root explorer:
for the SDcard, make sure you have this in /
system
/etc
/permissions
/open platform.xml as editable text
(Scroll down and find)
< group gid="sdcard_r" / >
< group gid="sdcard_rw" / >
You must add a 3rd line that's been removed by Google to restore user writte access do as follows directly below...group gid sd card rw...to give
< group gid="sdcard_r" / >
< group gid="sdcard_rw" / >
< group gid="media_rw" / >
Make necessary changes to make it look exactly as shown but obviosuly withing the formatting of the text editor your using at to make the mod...its already been done for v3 unrooted
Save and reboot
Enjoy

To mod your quick toggles like the galaxy s5 follow this simple method
Using root browser or root explorer
System
Open Build.prop as editable text
Scroll down to the lines
ro.product.name=hlteuc
ro.product.device=hlteatt
change to:
ro.product.name=SM-G900S
ro.product.device=SM-G900S
Click save to save the mods in the build prop
***if using root explore you must delete or remove the build.prop.bak that's generated before rebooting
Reboot
Enjoy...you can also mod this new theme with Wanam just like usual but enjoy the new circle toggles style/theme
***Unlock Hidden Quick Toggles
*Add Hidden Quick Toggles to Notification Bar: use Sq lite editor
1. Open and Grant Root
2. Scroll down the list to Settings Storage
3. Tap Systems.db
4. Tap System
5. Scroll down the system list until you find "notifications_panel_active_list" (see photo)
6. With notification panel active list highlighted hit the MENU BUTTON on your note

10. Once you've added the codes for the toggles you want...double check everything then click SAVE
11. Reboot
12. Enjoy the new toggles
*List of Hidden Toggles: type exactly like this...make sure what you add looks identical to structure already in sys.db
1. Mobile Data: ; MobileData;
2. Location: ;Location;
3. Silent Mode: ;SilentMode; ***again already in our note but att use ;Sound;
4. Wifi Hotspot: ;WifiHotspot;
5. Toddler Mode: ;ToddlerMode;
6. Car Mode: ;CarMode; ***May not work; I think samsung use ;DrivingMode;
7. Brightness: ;Brightness; ***you already have the slide bar on notification page so useless imo
8. Do Not Disturb: ;DoNotDisturb; ***Called Blocking Mode on samsung devices...blocking mode is a more advanced tweaked version of do not disturb by on samsung higher end phones/tabs
***Some of these may or may not be supported on tmo/metro base builds...i know several were not supported or have no function, some are also simply renamed/different toggle code but does the same thing...ie driving/car mode, blocking/do not disturb ect... so if you try one that doesn't work let me know and I'll note it and remove from the list...likewise I'm sure with the s5 and a few other new devices there may be more toggles hidden in kk if you find any that work let me know and I'll add them...enjoy

Right...did you try simply updating it in play store and opening it then hitting continue...or is that when it said no binary? Cuz I'm baffled if the root works from philz...and i built in that root lol...umm something doesn't add up idk...regardless we need to try a full unroot...then test philz/twrp

The same way...do you have an unroot zip? Or go in i think twrp and philz may have an unroot option? Or open supersu and in the settings unroot

I don't have an unroot zip. I didnt see any unroot option in WRP or PHilz. I'll look at SSU.

If you can't no worries...it'll just be until I get time to mess with the root for v2...everything else is in the rom and will all run the same...Greenify works the same ect
Mega
Hence why building blind without the device isn't my favorite thing in the world lol

hmm security tab works for me. maybe because you used gapps. I side loaded the google services and playstore apks
It wasn't working before I flashed GApps. I think it's because I flashed over MegaFire or something... going to try a different recovery method... Just trying different things to see if anything works and I got the same root error you got. I've tried to root with Kingo but it didn't work so far. It's all good tho :silly: still happy to have 4.4 hope we can figure it all out

This is for everyone...hold off on posting anything UNLESS you flashed metro stock and go thru the process perfectly clean
