This is CandyKat. Built straight from SlimRoms source with commits from a variety of different sources/ROMS. We wanted to give the users a fun, fully customizable ROM. We have also come up with the Candy Sweetener Pack. This is an Aroma installer that is full of delicious treats. Inspired by the CandyShop thread on XDA it has everything from glow dots to halo mods.

CHANGELOG​

---

I updated CWM recovery for you all to give a try with kitkat. Works fine by me and I'm not looking for feedback nor will I really be supporting this. I'm just sharing with you my updated is all! CWM-6.0.4.7-recovery-sgh-i717.zip
This IS now working for android 4.4.2 & earlier rom versions.
TWRP
ATTN: Flash at your own risk! I am not responsible for bricks or exploding devices!

I do have a bad sweet tooth. Hmmmmm
Is your twrp going to be isolated to work with this 4.4 alone?

I posted cwm in my other thread. It was compiled with the rom and should work fine with this one as well. I will however check to see if it had been updated, and if so, will post it in this thread.

I only asked because there has not been a TWRP for the i717 that works with 4.4, and you have the option posted in your installation. I made a minor goof too mistaking the Aroma installer. I have always put the two hand in hand. Not many use Aroma, so I guess I never thought it compatable with CWM. Now that I think back though, I beleive I use the two for the first time with my Infuse.
My Note is semi retired but its good to see new blood here and MAN have I had an itch to flash something.
Thanks for feeding the wolf.
Anyone up and running?

Oh I understand, we all made a layout to share and I actually never thought about twrp being in it for this phone. I do appreciate you bringing that to my attention. I just haven't had the time to look into updating twrp for this device.

Thank you very much for this nice rom. Running very smooth but battery is being drained at 8% per hour? Maybe it'll settle down?

You can use any 4.4 gapps. I usually recommend banks

It's an aroma installer that you flash in recovery. It's full of candy

Technically you can flash it with most cm/aosp ROMs but it's launched with ours :victory:

Doesn't work for me. It tells me setting permissions then says some fails and changes nothing.
