NOTES
Alot of the features from the features list above are not fully implemented yet, please be patient.
installation instructions
Please note this rom is based on NC5 however should run on any build given that either one of two dependencies are met.
1. If on MK2/MJ7 install make sure you have used a method to get Safestrap working on 3.72. Google it.
2. If on a loki or dev edition device then install a custom kernel after installing the rom.
3. If one a NC2/NC5 non rooted device you will need to do a partial downgrade to 4.3 MK2 then update to a prerooted NC5 or other KK rom w/ Safestrap verision 3.72 installed.
If you're not sure what you have, look. To determine your bootloader version, go to terminal emulator or adb shell and type "getprop ro.bootloader" (without quotes)

frequently asked questions
can i flash this over without wiping?
You can do whatever you like. Whether it will work or not is another story. Net is that if you would like any manner of support, you need to follow the directions here.
how can i apply to my rom?
Many mods are available for download within the rom itself. Download them to your phone, use file manager to transfer anything you want onto the external SD card, then boot into safestrap. Choose the install button, and select your zip. Once you're done, press restart. Depending on what you've done, the phone may reboot itself a second time after it configures all of your applications. This is normal and is not a bootloop
is there any fee for using bajarom?
There is absolutely no charge for using, or support of this project. If you have the means and appreciate the hard work that has been done to make this the single best ROM available for the Note 3, there are donate buttons available
is there risk involved in flashing this rom?
Yes. Flashing roms of any kind, BajaRom or others, has some degree of risk. Generally speaking, most any situation can be overcome at this point by using Odin and reinstalling factory-fresh files. However, the device is yours, the responsibility is yours. If you find yourself in a situation, we will do our best to assist, but we cannot and will not be responsible for what you choose to do to your phone.
why are there two editions of the same build?
A special edition of BajaRom was released with build 8. This special "Combat Edition" is intended as a small tribute to all of our men and women in the US Military. Your work is appreciated, and we thank you for your service. Because of the extent of the modifications required, each build will include a link to the normal version, as well as the Combat Edition ROMs. At this point there is no build 9 combat edition; this may become a theme for subsequent versions.
i like what i see but i'm not sure this is for me?
Because @Hashcode was able to get SafeStrap working on the VZW Note III, you can simply create a ROM slot, install the ROM, and boot to it, without affecting your existing ROM. The majority of BajaRom users end up using it is their Daily Driver, and can be installed in the stock ROM slot. Using this configuration allows the entirety of the available storage to be accessible.
what launchers are available?
Out of the box, there are two launchers available. A tweaked version of the TouchWiz launcher, and Themer. Themer is a unique concept for launchers, and is a different way of thinking of things. If you're not sure, use the TouchWiz rom to start and you can always change as you go forward.
how can I use the cool n5 google experience launcher?
Also available in this ROM for download is the Google Experience launcher, which is what is currently being deployed to KitKat Nexus 5 phones. To use this launcher simply download it from the BajaRom settings, and flash using SafeStrap (see above FAQ for more detail). Once installed, you will get a choice of which to use. Note, you MUST update Google Search in order for this to work properly.
what if i need to return my phone for warranty exchange, or how to back out

Thanks man, yeah it was a pain it took all three of us (@bajasur @reggie cheeks and yours truly) and luckily we're all experts in different areas, kernel/bootloader/partitioning scripting for me, bajasur is the original rom dev so he knows how to build roms (smali, java, apktool, dex2jar etc) and reggie is the best themer there is (seriously). It took the three of us a lot of tests and time working together to get this done. Ill write a guide soon and im glad we were finally able to get it to work. If I was still renaming BajaROM zips by their testing number we'd probably be on "BajaROM-S4-test28.zip" by now lol

Looks like I've got some cleaning still. Stock revert downloads ob3_Skin.
so far so great though.

Yep, I don't know if other rom devs also give these directions but since you tend to answer a lot of peoples questions and your the OP of the most important sticky I thought id let you know the following (not to say that you didnt know, just saying in general)
One thing I know for sure Safestrap people should know is that in order to install you MUST do the following:
1. In Safestrap, go to the "mount" menu and make sure that "cache", "system" and "data" are all unchecked before installing.
2. If installing on the stock slot or if this is installing over anything thats stock, you MUST do a full-wipe. This is because of how SELinux and knox work in the ramdisk. If you don't do a full-wipe then the knox root prevention/removal policies will not be removed when installing, this results in the user losing root. The only exception to this is if after doing a dirty install, uncheck the "reboot" option on the last screen of the aroma installer and flash the newest SuperSu zip in Safestrap prior to rebooting, if you do that then you will still have root.

Learn something new everyday. That little bit of info there will save a lot of people... If they follow through with it ( hopefully )
Great work Surge and I agree Reggie is the best damn themer lol

Honestly that's a good question (so far I have not had issues skipping this step on rom slots) ill have to look into this more, but id imagine itd be ok to skip this step on rom slots since Hash made it so Safestrap tries to remove/doesnt allow those SELinux and knox policies to be made on rom slots
I do see a exception to this though, say you were to flash a rom where the developer forgot to remove a few of these knox and SELinux policies from their rom. You would have to delete this rom slot instead of write over it in order for the install to work (did we just figure out why its sometimes necessary to delete then recreate rom slots before an install will take? I think so! ) so as of now id say:
Skip unmounting those if you had just deleted then recreated the rom slot and/or if its a new rom slot.

Q:Will future updates be flashable .zips or SVN?
A:Been trying to get SVN for a while now with no luck, seems like I'm the only one aside from you who has mentioned it. One day maybe
Q: About to flash. Can the stock rom be backed up. Or is just restoring the problem. Thanks
A: Yes you can backup your stock Rom.
Q: So I have 2 nandroid backups on my device: one of the stock rooted OS, and one of the current JellyBombed version. I can restore the stock rooted if I need to, and then restore the current version if I need to, right? Or would I have to flash the ROMs again in each case?
A: The nandroids include the roms and data. That's the beauty, the ability to go back to where you were.
Q: I am fully rooted. Got titanium backup running and TWRP installed. When I try to flash this rom it fails every time. I have wiped several times and re-downloaded the rom and checked the MD5. After I restore my backup and boot back up I get a notification saying :" An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device".. What the Hell??? I flashed Freeza's rom with no problem. What did I do wrong? Thanks in Advance.
A: CF-Autoroot again., Odin TWRP, Wipe, Flash MI5 Firmware (If not already on MI5), Wipe, Flash JellyBomb
Q: Do you have to flash freeza's deodexed stock rom in order to flash jelly bomb??
A: No
Q: Are any of the apps removable?
A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481611
Q: Sorry I just wanted to know if flashing freeza's rom Does anything to make jelly bomb better? I just see people saying they installed freeza's and mi5 firmware and then jelly bomb. As for me I just flashed jelly bomb and the hot spot mod
A: There is no benefit to that. When you wipe before installing anything that was there is now gone. Flashing over the top of another rom without wiping is considered a no-no.
Q: What exactly should I back up when flashing roms? Either from TB or TWRP or both.
A: What to backup in TWRP: System, Data & Boot
Q: What exactly should I back up when flashing roms? Either from TB or TWRP or both.
A: 1. Launcher/App Backups, 2. Titanium App/Data backup, 3. Nandroid
Q: Anybody experiencing the white line above the time on the notification bar since the update on jb?
A: JellyBomb ROM Manager/Battery Bar Settings - uncheck
Q: I use my gps for work and today was my first time using my phone for my home visits my gps would not lock me in and kept saying gps not available in areas that I know I've use it in before anyone having the same problem.
A: If you are indoors the satellites will have a hard time locking on to your location, as far as I know very few people have had hardware problems with their GPS so most likely it is a user error. Check to see if you receive a signal outside in an open area and report back.

So I have 2 nandroid backups on my device: one of the stock rooted OS, and one of the current JellyBombed version. I can restore the stock rooted if I need to, and then restore the current version if I need to, right? Or would I have to flash the ROMs again in each case?

The nandroids include the roms and data. That's the beauty, the ability to go back to where you were.

I am fully rooted. Got titanium backup running and TWRP installed. When I try to flash this rom it fails every time. I have wiped several times and re-downloaded the rom and checked the MD5. After I restore my backup and boot back up I get a notification saying :" An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device".. What the Hell??? I flashed Freeza's rom with no problem. What did I do wrong? Thanks in Advance.

oh yea... the moment some of u might have been waiting for is here... another compatible Safestrap 3.71 rom.
you cant hold anyone but your mom or you responsible for your decision to install this or anything else from here. help dont hurt blame samsung for helping them lock our property.
This one actually works out of the zip for all SS users on VZW its not in the title to fool you into downloading!! AND it works for more carriers too!. Other carriers please note you will have to flash your modules / modems of your provider if you experience any issues at all this should fix them.
ported over one of my favorite quick themed essential only roms. even tho its got some funny sounds its the only gold / silver / blue and green rom I've seen. the lock screen is awesome big thanks to original creator kris_92fr.
In order to simplify installing this to VZW / ATT an TMO phones i removed a lot of the optional mods and aroma. these mods can be enabled thru the mod manager inside the rom if you want. i will port a theme chooser to switch the rom to silver or bak to gold or green later if I get enough thanks for this one.
took me forever to get a working zip if it doesnt install right for you from the zip im sorry I tried. your more than welcome to try the safestrap - backip - restore option (I'm uploading soon) and if you meet requirements (MK2/MJ7 all that I test on.)that method will work for sure.
zzzzz It's late just going to post and add more later. enjoy this one! report success n failures and give me a nice +thanks along with original developer if we helped your phone be not so boring. if this works i've put out others that went unnoticed like Foxhound and Omega try them all pick your favorite and enjoy options rather than just 1 option. oh and i take donations in the other form of green PM me if you want to donate
Peace

Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 will now have a new rom,
a 100% French one, dev in France, by French !
Based on 4.3 MKF Firmware
You’ll have the choice between 4 themes : Gold, Silver, Blue & Stock
More than 3.000 icons modified/created/redesigned.
So we proudly present the new M3A1 :
History of this rom:
The idea came out after several meetings between Ichipper, Boubou, Kris & ReturnOfJedi.
We wanted to do something different, something new, something that will content you!
So thanks to :
ReturnOfJedi for testing and managing us
Ichipper for the dev part
Kris for the design
Boubou for the research part
A first “test rom” came out based on the MH8 4.2 firmware, it has been dev and spread to a little and tiny group of people to test the work done and the reliability.
That was the first step of the M3A1’s story.
After that the V2 project arrived, based on the 4.3 MKF with a completed theming.
The rom will be in Gold, and to have a reasonably size, Silver, Blue & Stock theme will be available to download and flashable via Aroma with your favorite recovery.
The code was rewritten, corrected and refine by Ichipper
The icons modified and redesigned by Kris
All Beta-test was ran by ReturnOfJedi
This V2 is released after more than 1 month of hard work of all of the team in order to give you a fully stable, clean, fast and beautiful rom!

I have downloaded the zip and have it installed in my 2nd ROM slot. Installed the Mj7 kernel module and so far everything appears to be working as I get this set up.
OP rocks! We've finally got some decent SS/MJ7 options. I'll be giving this one a shot as well.
Can this be flashed with loki and TWRP?
pretty much all set up with this ROM and no issues to report so far. The big thing will be battery life.
I'm having a certain amount if fcs with camera and gallery. Blue tooth not pairing with my headset. Battery life definitely not on par with hyper drive.
sent by safestrap
Very nice so far. Very sharp gold theme. Was able to flash the zip w/o problem to rom slot1. Unzipped the SS restore versions to my twrp backup folder but could not restore it. It failed. I have had the same problem with the other SS restore versions (diamond, omega). Can't figure out what I might be screwing up.
Edit: fixed by using Andro Zip instead of Root Explorer to unzip and it restored fine!!!

decaturbob, never said its better than hyper nor would i compare apples to oranges but I have not heard of a problem with camera or gallery my guess is its your stock. probably HD12? ya that will mess up every rom u try to install Just an FYI if you cant figure it out he is your culprit. of course you could obviously just upgrade or downgrade your gapps or specifically gallery via ti or whatever. but there are not FCs that have been discovered and you seem to have a lot of problems (your posts negative 100%? ) i would do the logical thing and odin a fresh mk2 on restore a copy of any SS restoreable roms to STOCK (Foxhound, Omega, m1, there will be a cpl more ive got in route soon) and not HD12 that goes on slot 1. then put this or whatever come back and complain then if theres FCs. not being a **** just stating thats on your end once again bro.
Very nice work my friend.

I flashed this to a TMO one with unlocked bootloader one with locked both worked flawlessly after entering a couple apn settings for data. so yes you can flash through TWRP and I dont know why it wouldnt work to loki it unfortunately dont have a phone like mdk or similar with a friendly boot to test this theory so I cannot promise 100% but around 98.5% sure it will be fine. TWRP will flawlessly restore my backup installers that has been tested and works great.

not sure what you mean especially when you say my posts are 100% negative when I have set up user guides and informational posts. I do not have HD on my stock rom, its loaded in rom slot 1 and I loaded your rom in rom slot 2. After a half a day, I was getting continuous fc with camera and gallery and never was able to pair with my headset.
I was reporting issues and you can take them any way you want. friend...
OK, so I just flashed this to a VZW S4 with MDK and unlocked bootloader and it booted up. I dont have the phone activated, and cannot get the WIFI to turn on. I found the OP's wififix.zip and flashed it, but no luck. Any other ideas?

Here's something that has worked on other roms. Wipe, Reflash the rom but do not reboot until you flash the wifi module fix. If that doesn't work it sounds like a different modem or kernel might. Also look into APP to be sure. Good luck. I'm staying with Hyperdrive a while longer before trying this. Thank you for being so intrepid as to try out new stuff.

what wtherrell said you should try wiping restoring again this time immediately flash the wifi fix and if that doesnt work try flashing just the modem try the mk2 first if that doesnt stick try the mj7 and maybe even the safestrap mk2 modules flashed on top of that finally the wifi fix that your able to dig up (nice work on being resourceful seriously if only more users were as proactive as you bro) hope fully this helps Ive had a couple pms from users saying they got it working fine on mdk. good luck thanks for your support

[rom]NEMESIS 2.5r2 gogo8008 TW4.3-FASTER THANuKNOWho-NICEBATT-THEMED-SIC-MK2-MDK++

The Nemesis Project for Verizon Safestrap and other S4 carriers/models
An Infamous/Jamison/gogolie Production!
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.
* 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! (I've returned warranty void phones before to verizon they have no clue.)

HOW TO INSTALL:
1.Download ROM (and aroma addon if you need it) and place on SD
2.Reboot into recovery
3.Wipe / FORMAT / U MUST Create new rom slot (only if on SafeStrap obviously
4.Install the ROM (this is my personal choice its got all I need and is essentials only much faster!) Reboot if on MK2 / Safestrap - Verizon and not installing aroma addon apps. MJ7 or other SS users flash modules & restart.
5.(THIS IS NO LONGER A SUPPORTED OPTION your free of will to try but know its buggy) Install Aroma Addon's choose NO WIPE and Rom Install or you'll end up wiping the rom.. The make sure to unselect MK2 SS VZW near end of aroma options. SS doesnt like that option so don't pick it unless you like bootloops All apps in aroma are either Samsung, Google or an AOSP / free version of paid program. Nothing illegal or full versions for free... I wasn't aware i'd be packing an aroma so I lost track of where a lot of the ASOP/other apps are from. I did put Shaftie's Onyx Keyboard in place of the google keyboard that kept FC'n (still is even tho its not installed I know an am working on a new version) so stop at Shaftamle's sweet themed S4 keyboard thread and thank or donate to him if you like it!
6. If your not on another carrier or MDK model then restart after aroma...optionally you can flash the contacts fix now too before restarting........
7. If on ATT/Verizon MDK and not on Loki recovery, you need to flash Loki patch! - Loki patch.....Then install your usual or favorite kernel or try the bioshock 4.1 kernel from Jamison. If on a carrier other than Verizon you'll need to flash a compatability zip package a kernel (or SS module if Safestrap is available to you) and your carriers modem/apns. Please do not ask or request these here PM me if you can't find them by yourself but its a simple google search away...
8. Reboot if done installling
9. Wait five minutes for all to settle as this is a highly tweaked ROM check out the optional bootanim in aroma if you smoke nows a good time for one.
Set APNs if it didn't stick
Additional install info:
Driver for Viper4ANDROID = CortexA8 with NEON
Now enjoy the fastest and most customizible ROM for the S4.

Change log:
3/6/14 .713 Version Final until Original is Updated
No FC's with Phone or Contacts. Changed back to different ASOP Black.
Fixed bootanimation... and shutdown animations i had added for fun didnt work out originally should now...
all with this one until jamison updates it!
02/24/14
Version 2.5r2 gogolie's v8008
newest version of Nemesis for verizon - 3/1/14 - this includes different ASOP themed dialer and contacts matching the 3mint theme of the ROM. be sure to thank/buy a beer for Jamison just google him and Infamous as i can't post the link to original thread ?! there will be 2 inital FC's reguarding the new asop dialer but thats it the only time you'll get them is 1st install. updated setupwizard and a FIXED few other issues. please hold off on using the aroma installer unless you absolutely want to try it. i'm developing an aroma installer that will be generic and port any rom to from any S4 device instantly as well as mods,keyboards,apps and bootanimations. if you have anything you think deserves to make it in the installer post here. I havent seen an FC for a day so i'm considering it good to go. please post in the verizon thread any problems. gapps/user programs are more specific to what you've loaded so if you havent tried a different version or arent using the stock (by stock i mean what came with the rom) it probably isnt compatible. also added some early wip flash packs for major carriers/mdk to use with my ROMs please PM me results, they wont brick your phone as long as you flash the right one... actually no matter what they shouldnt but dont hold me responsible unless it works then donate
Version 2.5.710
gogolie reworked this hard.
Updated nearly everything and added more options to aroma.
Forced to work with Safestrap and any S4 if kernel/modems are flashed after installing!
Removed broken keyboards added a lot of ASOP apps in place of originals probably about 50% ASOP apps too many to list more info on them available in aroma install addon

I'll take this one for updates...
essentially just flash the rom .zip if SS MK2, restart and enjoy
Wait! So if I understand OP directions properly, if we want Aroma options/installer, we actually flash the Aroma .zip first then the actual full ROM afterwards? Any wipes required in between or reboot before going to ROM flash?
Looks good ty for another ss working rom

negative. Both downloads are full installs. The second one just uses aroma to let you pick and choose what you want.

actually i messed up on the OP really shoulda just left aroma out but ppl want options.. flash rom first then aroma in aroma chose no wipe and rom install. then pick apps..... but avoid pickin the auto selected MK2 SS Verizon box apparently SS doesnt like modules flashed twice or something havnt had time to investigate but all SS files including modules would have been flashed when the rom was. also the aroma is a beta I haven't testd all the compatibility packs yet if you have feed back or results(neg or positive on vzw or tryin a pack or a diff carrier) let me know... preferably via PM.
after a few hours on this version my contacts/phone started FC'ing / the phone or at least shortcut to it disapeared dont know if this will happen to anyone else but I whipped up a fix located in OP - downloads.... occasionally getting a google keyboard error still too even tho its not installed... probably going to have a patch or a new version with that fixed.
Thanks for the replies regarding my Aroma installer questions. I'm half understanding, lol.
Might just wait this one out though until you get the update/fix for those couple issues you mentioned.
Cool update. Getting more and more robust. Looking forward to see where this goes.

gogolie's MARC=Make Any ROM Compatible
MARC for Verizon MDK
for AT&T SafeStrap 3.71 - flashes MK2 modules and stock kernel (why kernel? I dont know a safety measure i suppose)
for AT&T non Safestrap *w unlocked BL*
for Sprint
for T-Mobile users w unlocked BL
for other carrier support PM me details with links to or files for carriers you'd like supported
These packs should be immediately flashed over any ROM after 1st installing it to "port" it to your system. i'll post my VZW SS MARC later today... No promises as to how well or compatible they'll b I have not had many other carrier phones in to root / mod lately so i'll need independent testing via users.
Thanks,

PPS: Anyone beat 29,893 for a score in AnTu's benchmarks? Personal best I know doesnt mean much but compared to 23-27k I'd get with HD thats cool. if you beat it or hit 30k lemme know and what ROM your using. thx
Can I still use the aroma addons package with the latest update? I'm on the mdk bootloader and I'm using a loki'd recovery.
Edit: read the OP! Looking forward to the new aroma installer!

I agree. The more options for Safestrap users, the better.
I get status 7 errors while installing using Philz latest and doing all wipes needed. Questions though abour installing. I'm scratching my head trying to figure out the OP n even the install instrucyions from within recovery. Ok so i tried the BB amd AB (thats Before Beer and After Beers) and same results both times. Do I need to flash A CZW kernel after install? ie Kronic KT? like i said i cant get it running and its Saturday night n I'm on 4 6% homebrews right now so i might need to do this in the morning. how do i get passed status 7, n no i wont switch to twrp but if needed i will gladly go to CWM

ok im gunna figure this out. i dont myself have philz i know the script from installer should work in twrp fine since thats safestrap but im checking on philz theres not still a "TWRP" mode or something in philz is there maybe that'd work otherwise gimme a day i'll check via a friends phone but I've used my script (fairly generic) on philz for tmobile before so i dont know why there would be a difference... i assume your a verizon mdk? as to the after install question I run it from stock obviously but your free to install any kernel this rom like all of the roms that are safestrap compatible should not flash a kernel. so your able to flash any of them you like I suggest your favorite but completely up to you. was designed to install and work with jamison's bioshock kernel 4 but that was removed of course and since verizon took my mdk when i warrantied it (damn near started on fire in pocket) n gave me an mj7 i havent had many other mdk phones in from customers either a lot of mk2 tho. my roms working for mdk are more based on various users accounts and their praise for the roms. i have 1 mdk tester that i will see if he was able to install this newest version fine or what his results were and if he'd mind running it through philz otherwise i'll hit phil up too quick... either way i'll PM you what to do next. you will have Nemesis promise just toss me a beer when i figure it out?

Sorry about that I'm a flashaholic as well.
I don't blame you. It is easy enough, The only thing I see on mine is that when I reboot I always get" the Process.com.android.phone has stopped working" message a couple of times. It doesn't seem to affect anything that I can tell.
update: must have been something I deleted. Reinstalled the rom and all is good now. I found a theme from the samsung galaxy s4 international forum and they work with these roms. MAD is a good one. I installed it on Nemesis.

This works flawlessly on stock slot?
I admit im scared to try...I bricked my old razr flashing stock and backups never restored properly.
I never again tried to flash to stock because of this. I think I might be ready.
So on Verizon MK2 these are the steps?
1- boot into safestrap
2-activate stock slot
3-backup stock slot
4-advanced wipe all but SD cards
5-flash venomous_vx_2.0_vzw_flawless1-420
6-reboot
Gave it a shot nice rom but having problem updating Google services.Says insufficient space.Cleared internal storage.

To be safe, you could install it on a slot, get it going, back it up and then restore it to your stock slot. Not sure about wiping. I would try it without first.

yeah just make sure and try it on a slot 1st. make sure you like the rom before commiting then make a backup and then restore to stock like tulsa said. wiping your stock can be dangerous just avoid wiping data too or your safestrap usually goes bye bye

Use an app to access data/app-lib folder in android.... I like Root Explorer..... When your in data/app-lib find any duplicate folders for services
For example I had trouble updating antutu benchmark. The folder had duplicates as follows
com.antutu.abenchmark-1 and also com.antutu.abenchmark-2
I delete the com.antutu.abenchmark-1 folder and reboot then go to playstore and update now works fine......
Just find the services folder and delete the -1 folder leave the -2. If you see more do this for each one that has both. Hope this helps others with the storage space issues.
updated op
changed the op added 3 new roms to complete the set! check them if you liked Venomous VX!

Yeah brother I'm on chaos and loving it I ported this and foxhound a bit. But Phoenix. Imperium. Sammy deluxe. Venomous. Purified (sick). Car23. I've personally installed all those. I'm using nc5 or NC2 upgrade and modules with supersu always flashed afterward. With the matching modem and hlos odin and just installing one rom on main stock slot I go up to 4.4 and down no problem Knox in tact and I've probably flashed 40x

Hey guys! I have owned my Galaxy Player 4.2 for about a year now and am tired of waiting for a custom ROM for it. So I decided to take the matter into my own hands. At first my thought was to try developing CM for this device. But that idea was discarded mostly because I am a noob at linux kernels and basically building android itself. Not only that, even if I did succeed in building a ROM, it is sure to have a LOT of bugs that I am sure I would'nt be able to fix. So my next goal was to try and make the stock gingerbread feel like a jellybean/kitkat ROM, an idea that I got from the R.E.D.D ROM for the Galaxy Players 4 & 5. I started modding the stock deodexed ROM about 2 months ago and now I have modded it to an extent where a non-developer would swear that it was a CM10+ ROM . So anyway, enough chitchat, let's go to the actual ROM!
DISCLAIMER:
I have made this ROM from scratch, i.e, modded every part of it manually. If you would like to use any part of this ROM, or the ROM itself for any development purposes, please go ahead, but PM me first and give proper credits.
Although this is my own ROM and I personally use it as a daily driver, I do not take any responsibility for bricks and/or failed flashes, even though there is less than 1% chance for such an incident.
Now moving on to the...
FEATURES:
Framework:
*Completely HOLO framework - no samsung crap left!
*Holo dialogs with holo style buttons
*Holo sliders, spinners and progress bars
*Jellybean animations
*JB style pattern lockscreen with reduced thickness
*Complete Roboto font and text colours
*ICS/JB style integrated task switcher (thanks to agmtpd)
*JB style resized title bar
*Kitkat Easter Egg!!! (thanks to MuSaddiq)
and many more! Find out yourself!

System:
*Dolby Mobile Audio Effects
*ViPER4Android Audio Effect!
*Sony Mobile Bravia Engine
*Kitkat Themed Launcher

Status Bar:
*Kitkat style white statusbar clock with roboto font
*Kitkat Statusbar Icons
*Battery percent indicator (thanks to erhany)
*Kitkat style gradient statusbar
*Kitkat style close on/off toggle
*Complete JB 4.1.2 Statusbar expanded

Basically, once you flash this ROM, I am sure you'll stick with it. (unless a miracle occurs and we actually get a stable CM port ).
Update v1.3 is online. You can flash it OTA by installing the OTA Update Package below, or directly flash it with CWMr.
Installation Instructions:
NOTE:
As of now, I'm only aware of this method to install the ROM. You need to be on a stock deodexed ROM first. I'm not sure why, but it is not possible to make the transition form the stock odexed ROM to the customized ROM. So here are the instructions to flash the ROM:
-> First, download any deodexed ROM ( This one has been reported to work http://d-h.st/u4C) (thanks @groovychap and @ChaosChris )
-> Download HoloFrenzy
-> Boot into CWM recovery
-> Flash the deodexed ROM
-> Once it finishes, reboot and boot into recovery again.
-> Now flash the HoloFrenzy ROM.
-> Clear cache and dalvik-cache
-> Reboot. Done
Installation Instructions for update packages:
-> Make sure you're on HoloFrenzy
-> Download the update package
-> Flash in CWM
-> Reboot. Done
Bug Reports and Feature Requests:
If you notice any bugs, feel free to post here and/or send me a PM. I will look into it ASAP.
I hope that all users of this ROM find it great to use. If you find anything unthemed or if you want any features, please don't hesitate to post here or send me a PM. If it's possible in GB, I will try my best to implement it.
Updates:
I will update the ROM as frequently as possible and also when necessary. I will not be uploading the ROM again (as I have crappy internet) but will post update packages. Once I decide to make a final version, I will make a final zip of the whole ROM. Links to update packages will be posted here.

Galaxy Player 4.2
Gonna try this out on my U.S. Galaxy Player 4.2, I asked a few other devs for help on ROMs and building since I'm not so experienced myself, but I think it is possible to get a working CM9+ ROM for the Galaxy Player 4.2, the 4.0 was able to get ROMs like that so why shouldn't the 4.2. Anyways I'm gonna flash this
Yeah I know it will be possible...but no one who owns the 4.2 is an experienced developer.
We should be able te get CM9 running as TI has released the drivers for the 3.0.8 kernel for the Omap3630. So porting the kernel should be easy. We could fork a repo from the galaxy sl and try.
I am ready to help you out as much as I can. Good luck!
Also please do give me your opinion on the ROM too.

Yes we should be able to get it running! Now that the drivers for the kernel are released porting should be easy like you said, and sure! Do you have Google+/Hangouts?
Also, the ROM is in a bootloop
Try wiping system before flashing and clear data afterwards. Funny it flashed OK for me, and I have the US version too
There were similar issues for people with the ChaOS ROM too...I dont know why. But both the ROMs flashed and worked properly for me
I have PMed you about my hangouts details.

I have mainly used my own knowledge for the xmls. As for smalis, you can download my files and crosscheck to find your errors.
The only guides I've used are:
-Kitkat Easter Egg
-Taking care of lidroid
-Jb style hidden date view
-Decrease thickness of pattern lockscreen path

Both of these things happened to me, but I eventually got it working.
This is how I did it:
1. I restored back to stock + root.
2. I flashed ChaosChris' 'Stock Apps' rom (http://d-h.st/u4C).
3. I cleared both the cache and the dalvik cache.
4. I flashed the HoloFrenzy rom and rebooted to recovery.
5. I flashed the update package and rebooted properly.
@jmindset thanks. If @drakonizer would like to take a look to my rom he only needs to send me a pm. I'll be happy if my work will make the difference because this rom is awesome and the only rom that has worked for me is (after mine/BigD based) the one that now has no dowload links anymore. I can't remember the name... Sorry.

If you've got Titanium Backup, you may need to reinstall it afterwards. However, I believe this is due to a clash with ChaosChris' 'Stock Apps' rom, as opposed to a bug with HoloFrenzy.
You see, Chris created four 'Enhanced Stock' roms:
-Stock Apps
-Debloated
-Enhanced Stock Apps
-Enhanced Debloated
Now, the two enhanced roms are supposed to improve the status bar, but on my device, they actually removed it.
Thus the 'Stock Apps' and 'Debloated' roms were the only viable options for me. However, the download link for 'Debloated' is unfortunately dead, which meant that I had to go with the 'Stock Apps' rom.
Now, before I flashed 'Stock Apps', I was running stock + root, and I'd used Titanium Backup to freeze/delete a lot of the bloatware that came with the device.
And that's where I think the clash happened. The 'Stock Apps' rom put bloatware which was previously frozen/deleted back on my device, and thus Titanium Backup crashed every time I attempted to open it.
Here are a couple of screenshots of HoloFrenzy running on my Galaxy Player.

It turns out that the 'Debloated' rom is still available to download: http://dl-chaos.tk/hugo/ChaOS/YP-GL1-ChaOS.Stock.XXLF1.DB.DEO.ZIPA.Root.zip
So, if you flash it before flashing HoloFrenzy, you should be able to prevent problems with Titanium Backup.

Thanks @HellPie, but I seem to have got it working. It was a problem with the ROM signature. I fixed it and currently I am trying to add some build prop tweaks. I will upload the fixed ROM soon

I know that if you edit something into the systemui.apk app you'll need to sign every single apk again in /system/app... Is it true?

Congratulations, especially after everyone quit this device.
Any chances of implementing Boeffla sound in this Rom?
