looks interesting...
great job , sir:good:

Does look cool. May have to check this out tonight. Great work and thanks for Miui and now this one
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

this rom looks truly amazing. i actually like it more than miui. however theres just too much chinese. and i cant get.into. mobile networks and a couple other settings without getting this FC.
VERY hard to navigate with the chinese. initial setup youre flying blind through some menus you cant make heads or tails of.
definitely has potential though.

Good to know I was going to flash this, but I'll wait till that is fixed!

I really like the looks of this ROM.its a totally different ui and it isn't miui.
Is there anyway to get less Chinese? Or is that just how it is since it's a Chinese ROM? I don't want to sound like a cry baby @Tquetski I'm only jw. I appreciate your work on these ROMs. I think this one has some real potential. Its really cool looking

After stability is worked out I'm going to translate it properly
I want to adjust things a little because I feel that this deserves proper localization

APN settings will always produce a FC but it doesn't matter honestly; 4G still works and sticks through reboots lol; I'm doing a really invasive thing and forcing this firmware to use the S4 APNs, it was not made for the S4 ;x

Alright so 4g does stick on reboots. It took my phone maybe 5 minutes for 4g to show up but once it did I was good.
Kept getting the settings FC when trying to enter GMail Account (backup account) but just kept closing it and finally went away. Tapatalk kept FC though [emoji35] I'm back on my DD as I'm off too work. I'll play with ColorOs when im home later.
PS. I tried flashing supersu to have root and no dice any suggestions

"Nope. Only TW SafeStrap compatible ROMs for you"
Thanks. I think it is great devs put out great ROMs for the end user. I really do think the OP's should be more informative though. At least tell us what will work and what is compatable. This ROM is not the only one with very little information, some of the big names are very vague as well. I am new to the S4 and come here looking for ways to optimize my phone, it would be nice to have reliable information posted in the ROM details how to install.

I understand your frustration. I think the devs who have a rom that works for multiple devices/carriers just forget about the few phones/carriers that do have limitations like that.
Check this thread out. Lot of good information to get you going

Sure let me go back and edit 30 threads with a device specific FAQ to cover the general issues which will take a while for me to garner because I only own 1/30

Meanwhile if someone wants to adb their stock firmware for me I could maybe make some stuff you could use with safestrap, but when I make this offer it never pans out because very rarely does someone want to actually get their hands dirty

I can install this rom based kitkat, I had safetrap?

Rom suggestions

Top of the morning all. I wanted a few suggestions on which Rom I should go with. I have had my Note for a couple of days and I already have it rooted and installed CWM. I'm not exacly sure what I want out of the Rom though. I know how install roms, but I'm still a noob when it comes to them.
It all comes down to user preference
No ROM is better then another
Try them all
Literally lol
There is no disappointment with these ROMs
Some are complete but others like MiUi and CM10 still have a couple things broken
Read read read read and read before flashing and YouTube videos and tutorials so you have an idea of what you're doing and do things right
Good luck and have fun flashing!

I'll probably end up going with Black Star V. No particular reason though lol. It was the first one I saw. I just want the bloatware gone. That's usually the first thing I look for. I'll do the Tether Hack and then add themes and I'm good to go. It's already running fast enough for my liking so no need for me to overclock or anything. I'm 100% noob still. I'll actually read them all this time around. When I had my Droid X I was on the same Rom for like a year because it was good enough for me. I'm like if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Look for thread counts and ratings. That tells you what is more popular and so it is an indicator of what is good. Like JayRokk stated, try several and you will see what is good for you.

Just like all the above mentioned, there are great support within all the GNote threads, no matter what you choose or like, just read the OPs and see what fits your needs/requirement as to all are different.
BStar is my DD= daily driver.
Here is a listing of all ROMs and Tools in the GNote family threads, some loser put it together, so make sure you flame him hard.

Saurom. Yeah, its gb, so what?
It has built in call recording. If it had built in blacklisting it'd be the perfect phone.
If you just love chrome, any of the ics or cm9 ones will do. They are all about the same... Kind of boring.

Abt the same?
Which one is not boring? if it's theme bling you're after just get a blinged out case... I want function.
Hence my recommending saurom. It does what the others fail to. Make your phone a worthwhile investment. Makes the phone alone better.
What's the deal with the way ugly preschool looking contacts on ics and cm9 ROMs?

All I need to know is what does it do.
If it places calls and surfs the web. So did my Nokia. Heck android has file managers! Though seldom in a packaged rom. That's great.
I'm just not into themes. My ringtone is a 1950 telephone.

Lol is that not the real reasons for a smart phone, web, emails, txt and make calls?!? All else just extra, right.

CM9 official is the safest choice for original android experience, just went stable.
Fjmod uclf6 for debloated stock experience, add phmod for galaxy s3 flavor.
Everything else is more or less a derivative of these two. No real difference.
I wouldn't recommend cm10 yet, in a few months it would be THE rom to have however.

Yeah. A killer phone with a PDA. It took forever and a million of us new it was coming 15 years ago... who thought Newton's company would be a major player?
But a killer phone is a must.

Thanks for bringing this here

Wow.... Another rom to try... Ran this a few times on gnex I have a lot of flashing to do this weekend thanks for the variety!

AH OKAY so i now have three AOSP roms thats run without those horrible graphic artifact and this is one of them! SO SMOOTH AND BUTTERY! My biggest peeve is these AOSP ROMs that have that graphic artifact issue...I'm going to test this for the next two days and report on battery life and see if I find any bugs...so far it seems very promising.

Love how smooth this is and love the fact that it's running out of the box at 245 DPI.
After switching to a smaller DPI, going back to 320 just doesn't match the Note 2 AT ALL.

Monx - All threads closed, all dl links removed ! What's going on here ??

I couldn't believe my eyes when i switched over to XDA this evening.
All Monx threads were closed, and the download links were completely removed !
What the heck is going on here ??
One of the greatest devs - One of the best Xperia Rom's - not accessible any more ??
C'mon are you're kidding ???

Get on GPE 4.42 already
If you love the Sony UI, you can xposed theme it. Most of the Sony apps also work on GPE if you sideload it.

So far performance has been horrible so I have to agree. I like the Sony stock rom much more, but no big deal, I will just keep the one I am using and customize it with xposed etc
How is performance terrible?
Its kit Kat 4.42 and it runs like a dream. Definitely faster than 4.3. Did you full wipe before flashing?

Also, say whaaat? Horrible performance? It performs like nothing else. Not sure if you base your facts on the benchmark thread or if you've done a very dirty flash, but it's the fastest sucker in town. It's also incredible light on resources since it's KK.

You dont use Barney to quote me...that is Legen.....wait for it.... :laugh:
How is it faster exactly since I have no log whatsover with stock 4.3? What do you notice that makes it better in your tests?
General ui fluidity, decreased ram usage and better battery life are my main improvements.
Then there's all the features of Kk over 4.3
If you love the Sony ui so much there's a theme for it on xposed. Most of the Sony apps can also be downloaded from the market or sideloaded with the Apk.
Best of all its entirely bug free. Not a single random reboot or freeze since installation.
Can you get small apps working too?
Has anyone tested Dreamcast emulator..I would like to know if it has the same issue as with 4.3

Jumping in here quite unnoticed.
I noticed that the rom or device seems to get tired at the end of the day.. kind of getting laggy and slower and slower. Even now my device stopped scrolling for a sec at your barney picture.
It's not near as quick and responsive as the CM roms (have not tried cm kk rom)
I don't care about benchmarks since like year 2011.. Its just a bunch of numbers.
I never reboot but I think I need too do this more often, just like back in the days with my Desire.

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I released anything for Android. I took a much needed break from everything for about 5 months. Well now I'm back and I'm making my home the Note 2 section
Now let me tell you first off, this ROM is absolutely nothing to go crazy over (hence the name). However, it will eventually grow into a pretty badass build by time the last update rolls around. So if you want to use this ROM, what I'm asking is that you take a journey with me. This ROM will be an adventure and I would like you all to go on that adventure with me. Follow me through every step of this ROM. Too many times nowadays, ROMs are used for about a maximum of 1 month before people get bored and move on to something else. That's why I started Mediocre ROM. I wanted to start with a completely clean slate, and then eventually add features in 1 by 1 (or a group of features here, group of features there). My point is that I want this ROM to have many updates, that way you, the user, are never bored. Also, if you have ANY suggestions, please post them!!

any chance of getting a non-safestrap version for the ones who haven't upgraded to 4.3 & locked bootloader?

I'll look into it. Shouldn't be too hard to do but since I'm locked and on 4.3 this build will have priority.

I kinda wanted to keep this stock Note 2 but I do love the Note 3 apps that everyone is putting in theirs so I might throw them in. I'm glad you like the idea. Haven't seen anyone else do something like this yet.

OK no problem it's your rom, I was just asking. I love them as well and since they have come out I haven't used a rom without them yet but either way I'll be trying this.. thanks again man
Download link and MD5 posted in the OP! Let's get this party started!
I must have got a bad download. I got an error after the flash and had to go back to Alliance. I'm going to try another download and try once more as I think this is one of the coolest rom concepts yet and want to be involved. Thank you for doing a rom just for safestrap users like me.

Had this issue before with ROMs. Might be a bad upload. I'll have to look at the link and see what's up. Thanks for letting me know!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
Unfortunately it happened again using the same link. After install I get a red FAILED ... so restored back to Alliance. I will try again once you check the upload. Thanks again and I can't wait to give this a whirl.

Lol no worries! I didn't find a different place to upload it yet. I'm going to try a couple places today though. It is definitely a bad upload though. Size of the file is 1.02GB and it only uploaded 801.1MB. I'll comment here though as soon as I get this uploaded. I have access to a FTP host now so I'll try that.
Disabled "home button wake" too. Going to start uploading after I make a few changes real quick.
Really sorry for taking so long everyone! I ran into some issues and will be posting something this week.

[THEME] AOSP Theme for NCShade on OC1 Lollipop

THIS REQUIRES ROOT PERMISSIONS, PROBABLY DEODEX, AND SOME KNOWLEDGE
I'm gonna keep this simple. I did this on the deodexed OC1 Lollipop ROM.
1. Download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lovejoy777.rroandlayersmanager
and this apk: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72206619/AOSP-v5.apk (don't install aosp_v5 as a sideloaded apk)
2. Grant root privileges to the layers manager app, then select "File Chooser" and find AOSP-v5.apk wherever you put it
Optional: Back up the default setup by sliding out the menu and hit backup/restore
3. Select "Install"
4. Select "Reboot"
Your NC shade should now look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Looks pretty nice, but the settings button isn't congruent with the quick settings button. Would it be possible to remove that button altogether and instead activate it with a second pulldown?

no, since this is an RRO theme for touchwiz resources. I heard rumblings of an AOSP SystemUI being functional with oc1 but that's a little bit more difficult to find on the internet.

Well okay, still looks nice
Will be using it for a while, back on KitKat, I was actually able to get the KitKat AOSP Pulldown on Touchwiz, took a lot of theming and modding, I'll see if I can do the same for lollipop.
Are you working on any other layers theme?

i didn't actually make any of these things, i just found this stuff on various places in XDA and wanted to sorta repost it here, and kinda let people know that it works, and also indicate the potential that could be had with RRO theming for touchwiz, it's clear that it works.
edit: also wanted to mention that i kinda wanted to rehost the aosp layers theme because basketbuild is really scummy

Alrighty, I had actually never heard of this method of theming and am very happy to see active theming being done on Touchwiz lollipop

check out the threads i linked to in the references section, you can find other dropdown themes and some really minor stuff. not sure what other layer themes will work with touchwiz but oh the potential.
