NEMESIS 2.0 ALL MAKES & MODELS PORT
(*VZW INSTANTLY READY, OTHERS MAY REQUIRE A FEW EXTRA STEPs TO DIY*)
gogolie's bonus wallpaper/art zip do with what u like resize yourself. thanks to deviantart and artists!
if you follow me at all you would know i've been talking to jamison about porting this he of course gave the green light since hes hands down (my opinion ppl) the best rom developer around. i first did Nem 1.5 didnt release it as there were a few issues with my previous uploads and AFH and it took time to fix that then 2.0 was put out a few days back so I just moved on new better right? anyway this is the new "Alpha" which none of you have probably seen but none the less its a great rom in itself but Nemesis FN rox. Guarantee if you get it up and going you will not be sorry this blows away any rom put up against it period. more customizable and more speed with great stability made this rom my daily instantly. if you want to argue this fact then be sure you have the same programs running on the different roms and post a benchmark include all details as I'm sure if you beat her you'll have someone trying to emulate you and if your lying well obviously well figure it out. Also no talk of the disappearance of the creator hes well and elsewhere but I felt it necessary for you to all be able to enjoy this developers gem please search him out at the thread below give him thanks a high five some money but do it there plz lets keep this strictly rom / kernel talk thanks.[/SIZE]
To Install:
1. Simply run the zip thru your favorite installer answer questions asked by installer.
2. Then donate to me and james to get it working and I'll send a secret code to finish install. as this was a painstakingly hard one to get to you ppl.
3. This should work for any S4 and any model or version of it. intended for VZW originally but you are able to flash to any carrier. use the biohazard kernel which is available here along with any APN or Modem or SS module over the top. I'm not going to get into the exacts as the users below will inform you of what worked best for them and if what i just said sounds like giberish then do what everyone else here has done and learn your device from extensively before flashing as we obviously are not responsible for your decisions but well try and help if you mess it up just don't ask until you tried to fix or research or search the threads for help thanks.
4. Oh n I'm of course kidding about the forced donation but seriously you free loving freaks this is harder than it looks maybe do the right thing keep us around so you actually like your phone?

RULES:
Before you start using this rom here are some things you need to know:
1. I am NOT updating every week (I work 6 days a week and have a 2 year old and Pregnant wife)...
2. Don't ask for ETA, this is rude and offensive. When it is done it is done.
3. Custom Roms come without warranty. They are tested before release but something always can go bad. So if you broke your phone or you got fired because the alarm didn't go off - I am not responsible.
4. Support is limited. Sometimes I can answer your questions sometimes I don't have the time. There will be times I don't have an answer so please do no repeat your question or get offended because I haven't answered you.
5. Don't compare ROMs. It is rude and offensive for developers. If the other rom has what you need, use that ROM.
6. Don't Kang my work. You may fool everyone else but I will know! If you want to use something just ask!
7. If you like my work, a five star thread rating and hitting the thanks button motivates me.
8. No flaming! We have all been a NoOb before. We are here to help each other.
9. Read the change log. All relevant important information is there first! i.e. Bugs and fixes if there are any at the time.
#include /** Your warranty is now void.** I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.*/By using the rom you agree with the above terms!
Quote
HOW TO INSTALL:
Download ROM and place on SD
Reboot into recovery
Wipe unless change log say otherwise
Install the ROM
if on ATT and not on Loki recovery, you need to flash Loki patch! - Loki patch.....
Reboot out of recovery
Skip setup wizard (you can put your name in)
wait five minutes for all to settle as this is a highly tweaked ROM and Kernel
Reboot
Set APNs if it didn't stick
End Quote
Lil about me: I'm a now broke, technically I'm disabled (w/ 4 crushed discs in spine the gov says I'm too young to get disability and shouldn't admit that MMJ medicine works for me they=heartless pricks)I'm a full time single parent of a 2 yr old so I don't get a lot of time for my passions anymore. ex award winning programmer (lost the love for it, be sure to copyright anything you intellectually own especially when it comes to working with G or MS. they'll steal your everything claim you signed it over and hang you out to dry) now i'm just a fellow android lover with a knack for making things work when they normally won't, experimenting, coding,scripting, anything I feel like doing so if this or any of my other creations or additions to your phone helped you in any way help keep my kid in fresh diapers or put a beer in my hand please. Anything is better than nothing I have spent countless hours learning testing and everything in between to bring you cool stuff like this. Thanks!

Thanks to Jamison and the rest of the Infamous Team, hashc0de, Surge, anyone that tries and gives thanks or feedback and donations or gets up and contributes to the scene.

For a sec, I thought you were serious about the forced donations lol Thanks for keeping the S4 alive. Much appreciated!

I'm looking forward to testing it out. Right now Phoenix is quickly replacing hyperdrive as my day to day rom.

Optional 'allow SIP over non-WiFi connections' in the kitchen
Reboot app and reboot option on power menu
Pre-patched for lilHermit's Trackball Alert application
Added 'Microbes' wallpaper
A bunch of other stuff that i've forgotten

Future Updates - READ THIS!
By providing this ROM I am not implying in any way that future updates will follow. Due to limits on my time and the fact that I have a large number of devices for short periods of time, it isn't possible for me to continue providing ROM updates indefinitely. Please do not donate / sign up on the assumption that future releases will be available (I don't want you to be disappointed!).
And finally
Details on how to donate should you wish to do so are in download topic at MoDaCo.

No there is nothing that says anything about black status bar...just that its theme-able, which in that case we would have to wait for someone to theme it...like originally said
i am sorry. i couldnt find the download link... can someone tell me where is the link? thx
Great News.Thanks Paul.

What does being lazy have to do with it? What is the issue with Paul getting a little payback for providing you all with custom ROM after custom ROM...especially considering the ungrateful, hateful attitude that it seems more and more people here are adopting.
Yeah, atleast let the Rom upload first before everyone goes on spewing about how the world is coming to an end now because they can't find the link and the assumption is it's something you have to pay for.
OBSERVATION SKILL, if it say 'UPLOADING' pretty sure it means it's not ready for download yet but then again I could be wrong in the sense that UPLOADING now means, please pay me.
Prebakes now online.
It takes a short while to upload and mirror 4 different versions of the ROM. I think I made it pretty clear they were on the way though what with having written UPLOADING in upper case 4 times.
Be cool.

Future Updates - READ THIS!
By providing this ROM I am not guaranteeing that future updates will follow. Due to limits on my time and the fact I have multiple devices I need to keep updated it isn't possible for me to continue providing ROM updates indefinitely.

ISSUES...
If you have an issue and you want to call our attention, here's what you do:
1. Try everything you can, find solutions for yourself. Wipe caches, revert all your settings you have made, go back to your stock Kernel, factory reset if you have to or reflash the rom. Assume that the issue is on your side and try your best to isolate it.
2. Search this thread and Cyanogenmods aswell (its our base) for possible reoccurences of your issue and hopefully solutions that may have come up.
3. If you think the issue is important enough that we should cease our work and look into it, post your issue, BUT ...
... stay friendly, do not demand anything, do not threaten
... explain your issue as precise as you can, name the exact apps and conditions that cause trouble, help us to replicate the issue right away. If we can't there's no way we can fix it and your post will simply clutter the thread
... collect evidence, keep in mind this is a developer thread so even if you are not one, do us the favor and research how to record logcat. logcat is the single most important help you can give us to resolve your issue.
If you have any questions please refer to my Official Questions

Q: i flashed and your Rom bricked my phone!?
A: no, you're a nOOb who didn't follow the instructions and bricked your own phone. Don't blame the rom. Just ask for help as everyone else has it working fine
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Will the HTC apps and features work on this rom like T-mobile TV, Sense UI, Multi window?
A: No they won't because this is based on AOSP/CM and therefore doesn't have any of the HTC/Sense framework which all the HTC Apps/Features require... If you require these features stay on a stock based rom

the download link is broken. could you please resurrect it?
For these roms, is there a way to make it install apps to the SD card by default?
While it is great that newer versions of android have been released for these devices, when the internal storage is used by default, the rom leaves so little free user space that most applications will not even install to a point where you can move them to the SD card.
Also does it still have the onscreen keyboard issue?

[ROM] [N900PVPUEOC5] [100% Stock, Pre-Rooted, Busybox, Deodexed, No KNOX] [6/11/2015]

I bring to you 100% stock fully deodexed builds of Lollipop 5.0 (N900PVPUEOC5) for the Sprint Galaxy Note 3. The ROM is built from the official Samsung tar. It will self root upon flash and has init.d/busybox support. Knox has been removed completely. There are two versions of the stock deodexed ROM. The difference is one uses a normal edify recovery script and the other uses aroma installer. Both ROMS are identical otherwise. The purpose of the aroma installer is for future rom chefs to customize their rom builds using aroma installer if they so choose. This stock ROM includes all pre-installed Google & Sprint apps. Nothing has been removed or modified from stock. Also included is the OC5 kernel and modem & HLOS patch to ensure you have the latest kernel and modem with this ROM upon flash.
The ROMs are stock and will stay that way. Please don't ask for mods, changes, etc in this thread. These roms are intended for those people who want the stock ROM in it's original form with the addition of root and removal of Knox as well as other dev's/chefs who need a good solid base for their own ROM project. I give permission for other dev's to use this rom as your base and I highly recommend that you do so because it is bug-free and built from the official Samsung .tar. However, I do expect credit if you use this rom for any other project. If you appreciate my work please press that Thanks button and consider making a kind donation. using the link under my profile pic. Enjoy!
Important Note: Before flashing ANY Lollipop ROM. including this one, you MUST first have done one of the following: Taken the Lollipop ota update OR odin flashed the stock N900PVPUEOC5_N900PSPTEOC5_N900PVPUEOC5_HOME.tar. If you are still on a KK based rom (including any KK AOSP/CM based roms) then you MUST first update to Lollipop by one of the two methods I mentioned BEFORE flashing this ROM.
Flashing instructions: ***Before beginning the flash/setup process MAKE SURE your battery has at least 50% charge and/or connected to the charger!!!***
1. Backup anything you don't want to lose off your internal storage to another location.
2. Download the ROM using your pc. (downloading with your phone has a much higher risk of file corruption. Not recommended with large files).
3. VERIFY the md5!!! Once the download has finished, compare the AFH md5 using a md5 tool on your pc. (Google is your friend).
4. Put the downloaded ROM onto your internal storage or external micro sd card.
5. With phone powered off, reboot into recovery by pressing and holding volume up, power and the home button until you see the samsusung logo then release all buttons.
6. Once in recovery choose the wipe button and do a factory reset three times. Optional but recommended is to do a "Data" wipe. This will wipe all of your internal storage so MAKE SURE you backed up first like i said in step #1 above! Then go to "advanced wipe" and select all of the partitions EXCEPT micro-sd card and internal storage. Internal storage is optional but recommended on first time flashing Lollipop.
7. Choose the "Install" option and select the ROM "STOCK_DEODEXED_N900PVPUEOC5" from either your internal or external micro-sd card. It will flash the rom and give a confirmation once completed.
8. Press "Reboot" then "reboot system".
9. Initial rom setup will take several minutes and remain on the yellow Sprint Spark screen for several minutes (definately much longer than what you are used to). Let the phone setup/optimizes and the screen WILL eventually turn off once it finishes or show the setup wizard.
10. When you see the screen turn off or the setup wizard, you can begin setting up your phone for first boot.. Once finished with setup wizard wait a few moments and the phone will automatically install the sprint apps. You must either "accept" or "disagree" with each and every google prompt for these apps or else the installs pause untill you do so.. Also you will be prompted for the "connections optimizer". Quickly set it to what you want and close it. That's it! You're done!
flashing anything on your device is done at your own risk. There is no way myself or any other developer can guarantee that flashing this ROM or any other file will not brick your device or otherwise cause some other type of damage. This is just a standard warning. I am not responsible for anything that you do to your device. However I do my best to ensure all of my roms, mods, etc are 100% safe and fully tested before allowing public access.

Thanks a mil. I tried cooking my own odexed version about a week ago but couldn't get it to boot past the Yellow sprint screen. Now I'm questioning if I just didn't wait long enough.

[H918 / T-mo] [1.3b3] EasyRecowvery - TWRP and Root Installer

I don't always follow a new device during the troubled early days of root...
...but when I do, I'm utterly scarred by the chaos and confusion.​
Since I've watched the current V20 root exploit evolve from "maybe DirtyCow would work here" into a full-blown war on Nougat's sepolicy, and finally into the emergent "Recowvery"; I thought it might be fun to get my own hands a little dirty and write some wrappers to automate the rooting process with ample error-checking along the way.
>> Please take a moment to check out @jcadduono's Recowvery thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/h918-recowvery-unlock-v20-root-shell-t3490594 for more information, to say "thanks," and to donate if you can afford it. <<

THIS PACKAGE MAY MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER (or harder) BUT NOTHING CAN FULLY PROTECT YOU FROM TROUBLE WHEN ROOTING A DEVICE!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't it working?
First: update your ADB. If you don't have ADB, then you'll want to fix that before you spend another second at XDA. I personally only use official releases from Google, so I might not be much help if you're using something you found at random at XDA or elsewhere on the Internet. You can download Google's latest release of their tools from the very bottom of this page. (I recommend installing or extract them to C:\Android for easy access.) Using the "SDK Manager" included in that download, choose to install "Android Platform-tools" and "Google USB drivers", and remember to run it again once in a blue moon for updates.
If ADB isn't the problem, I'm happy to offer what assistance I can. Please describe what you were trying to do and how, then attach any .log files the script created.
Where is TWRP?
The link to the latest version is linked in this thread under Step 3.
Rename the downloaded file to recovery.img and put it on your internal storage.
Does Data need to be wiped?
For everything to work properly, YES. If you don't have an inherent understanding of what will happen if you don't run a Format Data, then please do so the first time you enter TWRP. This will erase Internal Storage and remove the default encryption so that TWRP can function to the fullest. BACK UP YOUR STUFF FIRST!
Is no-verity-opt-encrypt necessary?
YES, but not totally. This ZIP makes it possible to allow system modifications, and prevents a couple easy ways to end up with corrupt data or bootloops.
Download that from Step 3 in the thread above, and put it in the folder named zips next to EasyRecowvery.
If you're going to install SuperSU right away, you shouldn't really need it.
What is selinux?
selinux is a major security feature, and also a major pain in the butt depending on who you ask.
If you don't know if you need it in "permissive" mode, just leave it be. You can always reflash later.
Why isn't TWRP showing Internal Storage?
These phones use encryption out of the box. In order for TWRP to function properly, you will need to use the Wipe Data feature after installation.
This will blow away everything on your Internal Storage, so make sure you don't have anything important in there!

Awesome...
Awesome man, so cool to watch all this develop. Glad I could be part of it.
definitely looking forward to this. sweetness!!!!
It has been amazing watch all this develop in the past weeks. I have been flashing and rooting for about 10 years and this is the first time I've seen it all from the beginning. It is really amazing what a few of these guys are capable of...but this time for me I was left speechless. Gentlemen, (and ladies?) Thank you for all of your free time and dedication for making this possible for the average end user like me. We all don't show enough gratitude and I'm sure I'm not the only one amazed my all of your capabilities. Keep up the unbelievable work, and a nice donation is coming to everyone who contributed if I can find a way to donate to you all. Point me in the direction, and the cash flow will be on its way. Thank you again.
Sincerely,
dmoney4eal

I'm game for a friendly race. I've got lots else going on today, so it's coming together bit by bit.

How about some money lol
Is this still a WIP? I don't see anything updated by the OP. I'm waiting to root and something like this would be great as I am leery of going through the regular method with ADB as I'm coming from a Samsung device.
I pledge $20!.

ZMax Pro (Z981) Free TWRP & ROOT Method

UPDATE (08/18/2018):
UNI no longer needed. The Z981 Firehose/Programmer has been retrieved & new instructions & files will be release soon. Come to Discord if u want to see how this sausage is being made. Everything is public. No one should pay for anything.
Join our discord {Mod edit} (Everybody is welcome).
We will need ROM/Kernel/Program makers. So please join Discord to help out. Nougat is also on its last bugs. And Oreo is booting. So there are a lot of great news for the Z981.
New thread will be started here on XDA with file links & instructions when ready.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We have working TWRP and Root for the Zmax Pro. We are almost ready to let users beta test.
Join our discord {Mod edit} (Everybody is welcome).
If you would like to be a tester before full root is launched/achieved. Or you can just keep up on the progress that is being made.
Although the TWRP installation is done thru a paid app. We plan to share free access to this method of installation. And we advice that no one purchase said paid app for the purpose of rooting your Z981. But if you already own said app. Or purchase it in order to share with others. Please contact us for a safe method of sharing access for the purpose of TWRP installation & rooting Z981's.
We need advance knowledgeable folks to come help us in getting the firehose extracted from the paid app. And also to help us try to target the bootloader & to develop SafeStrap in the mean time. Come on over. We got our fingers in many pies.
All credit goes to Armando for his awesome TWRP & Messi for testing the UNI method of root thru the paid app. And for those that where/or will be willing to share access to the paid app for free.
08/18/18 - UNI no longer needed.
04/28/18 - Updated Discord link.
Discord link is invalid. Also, what can I do to help? My Z981 currently sits on a shelf serving no purpose. Would love to regain life from it.
i have a broken glass one. i could use some root to mess around with it.
also, discord link is invalid.
Wow! Just when I had given up hope on seeing mine rooted!
I still use this phone as my primary. In fact, I have three of them. I'd be willing to help with testing and such, just let me know!
I even have one dedicated for my guinea pig phone, so it works out!
Dude, your link is broken ?
I've been rooting phones for about 7-8 years now. I'd be more than happy to help with testing to get this to a public release stage.
Has anyone figured out anything about discord? I would love to test this. I almost cried when the discord didn't work lol.

You should join their discord... Details are in the OP. The actual steps are "involved" lol, but I can confirm that Y314K was awesome and helped me with getting the Z981 on some TWRP and Magisk 16.0. Everyone is cool and helpful on their discord chat. Hope that helps.
Wish you give me more instructions.... I don't know what op means.... I downloaded the app... Registered... But nothing there... Need to know where to go... Etc
chat room
yeah, I got into the chat room and didn't see anything worthwhile as far as what this particular section is about! Just a bunch of random chatting it seemed to me, so I didn't see the point of it and still wondering what's said paid app is if it's not TWRP

Great, folks that refuse to read the #Annoucements.
Click on the link for Discord on the 1st post of this thread.
(That is what is known as Original Post aka OP)
Then accept the invitation to the Server in the link.
The very first welcome message tells you to read #Annoucements.
Click on #Annoucements.
Read ALL the #Annoucments.
Then follow the instructions for borrowing UAT/UNI.
The process of rooting the Z981 is not a one button push. It is very specific. And things must be done on a specific order. And as of this date it still involves a paid app. But thanks to folks that lend their licenses. We have made a process that makes rooting the Z981 totally free. As long as the Z981 owner is willing to follow instructions.
If we where just handing out license logins then u would have dozens of folks bricking their Z981's. Specifically their IMEI's. Which has not been the case for those the are willing to read & follow instructions.

It is not my root method. The method was first posted by Messi2050.
What is our method is the lend & walk-thru options that our Discord group provides. So folks don't have to spend a penny on root. Which we believe should always be free. And our release of updated/latest TWRP & a Debloated Discord v1.1 ROM (Based on MPCS B21) are something we are proud off.
And pretty soon, once some major bugs are worked out there should be Nougat flavors of Linage OS & Resurrection Remix & other Nougat ROMs available for the Z981. And eventually there should be Oreo ROMs too.
Hey, thanks for the reply and not blasting me too hard. When I was on the Discord chat I had kids running around me acting crazy not to mention my screen was busted up so I was having a hard time. And thanks for the breakdown of the acronym because I am surely one who often wonders what some of those abbreviations stand for.

Read. Read. Read. You must want to help yourself. And once again, you can always use the "search thread" option in the upper right hand corner before you come off sounding uninformed. People will help you, but you must first show that you are involved enough to find answers to the basics - if not you probably shouldn't be rooting your phone.
i did join and rooted my zte phone thank you
