laymil has posted a much better script for this. As such I will be discontinuing my work on this for now. Not for any hard feelings, but because it is now beyond me to help any further.
As always I am glad to have helped the community in some small way. Thank you all
CHEERS
Geniusdog254 Posted the exact lines in the build prop that needed to be changed. This is a pretty common fix for problems like this between versions of Android. There was some concern however that you may miss some of the newer apps released only for Froyo. I wrote some simple scripts that will fix this for us.
Simply: One puts the Froyo build.prop on your phone. The other puts the modded build.prop on your phone.
Prerequisites
YOU MUST HAVE GSCRIPT INSTALLED
YOU MUST HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED
(IF YOU ARE USING PAULS FROYO ROM FROM HERE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686631
IT DOES NOT HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED
Also--
There are now 2 downloads.
One will reboot your phone automatically
One will not!
(I recommend this one for anyone that has problems, or doesn't know ADB well.)
Installation
Code:
Download the attached .zip file
Place the "buildprop" folder in the root of your sdcard
Place both "Normal_Froyo.sh" and "Modded_Froyo" files in the gscript folder on your sdcard
Code:
Open Gscript
Press menu and select Add Script
Press Load File button
Select Normal_Froyo file
Press Save button at bottom
Repeat for Modded_Froyo file
After that all you have to do is open gscript and select which one to run.
Normal_Froyo will give you stock froyo build.prop and let you see froyo only apps
Modded_Froyo will give you the market fix build.prop
You can also create shortcuts directly on your homescreen for each script if you wish
-----------------------------------------------
I've decided to skip the update.zip, I've found no way to copy the scripts to the gscript folder on the sdcard this way.
I'm going for an app instead.
P.S. I've never written an app before, java looks like russian to me lol. So if anyone has any tips, or knows any good tut's let PM me and let me know.
------------------------------------------------
fixed no buildprop folder
added NON-autoreboot download.
buildprop switcher v0.3.zip ORIGINAL
buildprop_switcher_no_rebootv0.3.zip NO REBOOT
buildprop swticher v0.3.1.zip DOWNLOAD THIS ONE
When the file is unzipped, there are 4 files - No Buildprop folder. Now I get the part about putting the two .sh files into Gscript folder.
Do I make another folder called buildprop and put build.2.1 and build.2.2 inside?
OR
Do I put build.2.1 and build.2.2 onto the root of the SDCARD?

So sorry lol Didn't notice until I was making the update.zip that I didn't put the other files in a folder IN the zip. Just make a folder on your sdcard called buildprop. and put them in there.
BTW testing the flashable update.zip method right now
thx, seems to work
so no more *#*#etc.. afterwards?

Right.. the checkin service runs on each reboot. So it is not needed.
Worked just fine, but I did have to do the checkin thing. Possibly had poor signal but checkin hadn't done on reboot. Worked fine after that...

Can the checkin method be used, instead of rebooting? I'd much rather switch back and forth via checkin rather than having to reboot.
Thanks.

The reboot is built into the script. On my phone, if I checkin, the apps still don't show till I reboot. But show if I only reboot. If checkin alone works for you though, you can remove the reboot command from the script.
I'm not sure what happened, but after following the instructions exactly, my phone crapped. It got as far as the first nexus logo (non-animated), then the buttons lit up and I got a black screen. And that's how it stayed.
Any ideas?
This worked great for me I also solved my (unrelated) prob with SlideIt by forcing the dictionary to save in the settings, so I'm no longer bothered about losing shortcuts stuff on a reboot.
Dandy!!
tested again with a second n1. works perfect! automated checkin works perfect.
Can you please post what changed in the .prop file.
Also you didn't add the video codecs in the "new" prop file

The only thing I changed from the stock to the "modded" build.prop were these 2 lines
from this
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2 FRF50 38042 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF50/38042:user/release-keys
to this
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.1-update1 ERE27 24178 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.1-update1/ERE27/24178:user/release-keys
I didn't add anything else to these. If you would like other things added to the build.prop files. You are welcome to edit them yourselves, or let me know what things you want changed, and I can include them.
I can make it user friendly. With descriptions for each modded line, then you can simply un-comment the options that you want.
PS: I thought I had the flashable update ready, but the update-script is giving me problems. ANYONE that wants to help please let me know. I'd really like to get this out to everyone.

To anyone that can't get thier phone to boot all the way after doing this
Its not a big deal. Your phone booted. But the build.prop didn't get copied before the reboot.
If you did a nandroid before you tried it. Restore that!
If you didn't, OR you know how to use adb. Do this
Code:
adb remount
adb push [COLOR="red"]/path/to/build.2.1(or)build.2.2[/COLOR] /system/build.prop
adb reboot
I hope to have this fixed quickly.
ANYONE WHO'S PHONE WILL NOT BOOT AFTERWARDS!
Check and make sure you put the files in the right place.
build.2.2
&
build.2.1
go in
build.prop FOLDER ON YOUR SDCARD
that was the only reason I got the error, i deleted the files off my card when i was testing the flashable update.
If you still get an error. open both files in the gscript folder, and remove or comment out the reboot line. Then tell me what error you get in gscript.
So I did this and am able to see the new apps. When I reboot the phone I cannot see a bunch of old apps in my launcher. I revert to the normal script and reboot again and still cannot see a bunch of my apps. Appbrain says theyre installed and I can open them from there but no widgets or shortcuts for them Any Ideas?

Are those apps moved to the SD by any chance? If so, best bet is to go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Find your launcher, and force stop it. Should work after that.

Nope they're not on SD. I'll try the fc of launcher.
Ok it worked thank you! but my xiia widget still is not back and I'm assuming others. Anything I can do for the widgets?
Ok installed and reinstated the app. Works great thx again.
Update:
Ok after another reboot, apps don't show again. FC the launcher they come back but not the widgets.. Grrrrrr...
This is a meta morph do not flash in cwm if you do not know what a meta morph is read up on it at my link how to apply a meta morph

2. Manually Add Animations: should work for most roms
This process will be helpful for those wanting to mix and match animations from the folders. In fact, why don't you create your own mix and post it here so everyone else can appreciate your awesomeness. I'll add new mixes below if they come in.
-Simply get a hold of the anim folder with the animations you want to use and the framework-res.apk from the rom you're interested in modifying (/system/framework/framework-res.apk).
- Open up the framework-res.apk in 7zip (right click on it, and select "open archive").
- Drag the anim folder with the animations (which you can download below) into /res folder in your framework-res.apk. This will replace the files currently in /res/anim.
- Exit out of 7zip.
- You now need to push the modified framework-res.apk onto the phone. You can do this by placing the modified framework-res.apk in the root sdcard folder, and entering the following into terminal emulator on your phone or using ADB when the sdcard is mounted:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
If you're using terminal emulator, your phone will probably reboot before you finish re-mounting and/or typing reboot.
If you want to install the framework-res.apk that you just made in CWM recovery you can put it in this .zip make sure to put your framework-res.apk in the framework folder for this to work Your anim .zip
3.ninjamorph insatll find it in the market.
- create a new project of your framwork-res.apk.
- on your sdcard put the anim you want in this folder but first extract the folder out of the .zip first. (sdcard\androidthemes\workspace\framework-resapk\res\anim)
- make a copy incase you dont like the altered animations!!!
-replace the folder attached with the one in this zip
-go back to ninjamorph and finish project your phone should automatically reboot and there ya go animations are changed.
These will work with any rom and any phone enjoy
If you have any prob please post witch animation you used, that did not work so i can look into it.
BlurAnimations.zip
Bounce.zip
Custom my set up.zip
My set up 2.zip
Drop in.zip
Flip1.zip
Flip2.zip
Flyin and flip.zip
Fly in 1.zip
Fly in 2.zip
fold.zip
Shift.zip
Sliding1.zip
Slide2.zip
If you would like more custom one with animations together let me know what you would like
Theses are the .xml files in the anim folderi will tell you witch ones i know and what they do if you know what others do that i did not mention please let me know and i will update this thank you.
This is the anim of the opening of a new page
activity_close_enter.xml
activity_close_exit.xml
Theses are if you go back on your page
activity_open_enter.xml
activity_open_exit.xml
Dialog box is the box that comes up if you were for example adding a widget to the home screen
dialog_enter.xml
dialog_exit.xml
Theses will control how the keyboard comes into the screen
input_method_fancy_enter.xml
input_method_fancy_exit.xml
This is the anim when you unlock your screen
lock_screen_exit.xml
The options panel is the panel if your on any screen and you click on your settings button for example if your on the home screen and you click on your settings button you will see a options panel that askes if you want to add a widget change wall paper etc...
options_panel_enter.xml
options_panel_exit.xml
I think this one speaks for its self
search_bar_enter.xml
search_bar_exit.xml
please post others
I am having problems getting any of them to install it just sits there and says applying.
Mine also just says applying. On Rubik's dl30

Go to: Settings-> Applications-> Development-> check USB debugging. It should work now.
Also check out Anim Mod on the market for easy animation switching
May I ask what these do
Updated try out fly in 2 i really like it im working on bounce next hope you like it if your having trouble installing these im very sorry but i test them before i release them so i hope you can get them to work.

The custom one. I had just installed .5 though so I just did a reinstall and I was fine. Maybe I'll try again later tonight. I really liked the animations in the doctored version of SC you posted originally. Maybe I'll just pull the /anim file and replace the one in my framework-res though. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful. I really appreciate the work you put into these. I just wanted to post a warning in case there is something specific to the AOSP Froyo that would keep this from working.
Edit: Just tried again in MM and it worked fine. I must have messed it up the first time. Thanks again for the awesome animations!

Have you guys seen the Gingerbread Screen Off Animation that looks like a TV turning off, with the line and a small flash (not sure exactly how to describe it). And when i say "screen-off" i mean by tapping your power button, not holding it in to power down, but to turn-off the screen and lock the phone.
It might be kinda stupid to some, but i think it's pretty neat and unique...
possible?

Thanks. I have been playing around mixing/matching the animations with some decent results. Is there a program that can convert just the xml files from to and from the binary and text formats?
I am using apk manager to compile/decompile the entire .apk file but that is kind of annoying.

updated 2nd post
Hey all i just wanted to ask is there any way 2 get the old text messaging program back instead of the one thats installed with this one i liked the stock Antrix one. And i know before u could say yes or no to install it but he changed the install methed and could not do that no more so if any one could help me please do so thanks <3
Well i fixed it i found this
jeffc said:
For those like me who need corporate sync and like the blur universal inbox you can install just that portion of the moto bloatware instead of all of it.
** EDIT ** I'm adding a couple more applications now. Please, others jump in to do other applications because I'm out of time working on my Atrix for this week!
** WARNING ** I'm not an android dev and this process has only been tested on my phone. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
There are 3 files attached.
messaging.zip - restores original blur messagine apps, including corporate sync, txt messaging with balloon conversation mode, and the universal inbox. It does not have the messaging widget.
taskman.zip - if you liked moto's Task Manager app, this will restore it for you so you can kill tasks and uninstall like before GB.
gallery.zip - restores the moto Medial Gallery application. Note the GB version of Gallery will still exist and both will work.
Quick instructions:
* You will need CWM Recovery for this
* Follow CWM instructions exactly - especially the part about plugging into the AC adapter or it won't work!
**NOTE** this will also install the original blur txt messaging interface with the conversation balloon mode. Its all one application so no way around it that I know of.
1) copy one of the zip files (attached) to your sdcard root directory
2) run CWM according to instructions in its thread
3) after reboot into CWM select "Install zip from SDCARD"
4) select "Choose zip from internal sdcard"
5) scroll down to the zip file name (ex: messaging.zip)
6) select the file (power button) and run the update
7) go back to main menu and select "Reboot system now"
A few steps but doesn't take long. I just pulled these out of the gingerblur-bloatware.zip and figured out what file structure you have to leave in place for it to function.
Hope this will save people some time.

I think there's a bloatware restorer on the greyblur site. Try that.
Will that install it all back tho or will i be able to pic
well ill look at it and see if it can do only one thing
thanks i forgot about that
Alright so i found them in the files there how do i delete the new one and get this old one back on there? im so confused help!
Still have not figured it out some one help?
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...-reinstall-deleted-system-apps-bloatware.html
That thread helped me how 2 install the files but i cant install them it tells me
Application not installed any clue how 2 fix this and remove the old one some thing? any one?
You need to download the messaging bloatware zip, reboot into recoverymode and use CWM to install that zip file... It's the same process as installing grey/gingerblur.
Well if i new where the messaging bloatware zip was i would try 2 get that
i know they have the full one with everything but is there one with only the messaging part? or some thing like that?
Well i tryed 2 just install the messager part and i soft bricked my phone just fixed that but still dont have the old messaging system
Go to the android development section and find the gingerblur thread (it shouldn't be difficult). Then go to the gingerblur website given in the thread and download the bloatware.zip. you will also need tenfars cwm recovery which is in the development section also. Then just flash the zip file using the cwm recovery guide. Make sure your phone is plugged into a wall outlet charger when you do this (not a computer USB port) or it won't work.

Discontinued. The latest versions of all previously supported ROMs have this functionality built in.
This gives you an over-scroll glow when you reach the end of a list.
I really hope you knew that before clicking on this thread.
Example if you don't know what I'm talking about
It's just a modified framework.jar with modified files allowing the over-scroll to work and the correct glow images assigned to it. Theming is very easy, just colorize the over-scroll glow pngs in framework-res.apk. The default is orange.
What I want to do with this thread is sort of have a place where you can find the over-scroll enabling mod for every popular ROM for our phones. If you think I should support a ROM that I currently don't, then please post in the forums because I read every post! Ask to put a ROM on the wishlist. Upload the ROM's framework-res.apk and framework.jar files and I'll work on it when I'm not busy with school.
Currently, the wish list is:
Stock KH7
[Update on 10/15/11] UnNamed v1.0.1 compatible files uploaded. Give them a try. Honorable mention to quarlow
Installation:
BACK UP YOUR OLD FRAMEWORK.JAR
Because I'll just laugh at you if you complain that your phone won't boot up.
>>>ADB:
Code:
Extract the CWM package to get the framework.jar
adb remount
adb shell
su
cd /system/framework/
cp framework.jar framework.jar.backup
exit
exit
adb push framework.jar /system/framework/
adb reboot
>>>ROOT EXPLORER:
Extract the CWM package to get the framework.jar
Okay, now you can theoretically do this, but why would you want to? You'll get lots of crashes and might mess something important up.
Go to: /system/framework/ and rename framework.jar to something else. Go back to where-ever you saved my modified framework.jar and copy it over to /system/framework/ and change the permissions of the new framework.jar to match the old one. I'm pretty sure it's rw-r--r--, but don't quote me on that. + Restart your phone.
Simba501 has a more indepth tutorial on how to install this mod through Root Explorer here
>>>RECOVERY (preferred):
Flash the one specific to the ROM you're running
Whatever method you choose, know that it will take a stupidly long time for your phone to boot-up. Don't worry though, it'll be worth the wait.
Yoderk created some cool themes for the over-scroll glow for Cognition Beta-4 which you can find HERE.
UnNamed 1.0.1 works with 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 as well.
Also, please remember to say THANKS if I helped you!
cwm please!!

It's there if you REALLY need it. I haven't tested it and to be honest, it's been a very very long time since I made my last CWM compatible file. Maybe it works though, try it out. If not, then use one of the other methods.
Fine work sir! Works well on Cog Beta 4.

Working fine here. I'm technically on Beta 1, but I've manually added the components I wanted from each Beta update because there were things I didn't want.
I have a suggestion. I don't know why everyone repeats that method for using root explorer. That's a terrible way to do it. I always use root explorer to manually replace my files and have never experienced any issues. Here is the correct way to use root explorer for manually replacing modded files:
1. Navigate to the file that you plan to replace (in this case, system/framework/framework.jar).
2. Copy (not move) the file and paste it somewhere on your SD card (internal or external, doesn't matter - as long as you can locate it in case you need to put it back). Rename the file you just pasted, but very subtly. For example, when renaming framework.jar, I would only throw something in front of the file name, such as "Backup - framework.jar", so I can easily distinguish it from the new file if I put them in the same spot.
3. NANDROID BACKUP!
4. Download/put on your sd card (whatever you do) the new file that you want to replace the old one with.
5. Move the new file to /system (not in a subfolder yet). Here you will change the permissions, which is crucial to avoid FCs and problems. In root explorer, you would long press the file, press permissions, and set them to whatever the old file's permissions are. This may require going to verify what they are before starting this step. In this case, the permissions are RW-R-R, which in root explorer, means that the first two boxes on the first line are checked and only the first box on the next two lines are checked.
6. Ensure that your new file is correctly named to exactly what it is replacing (case actually matters) and that the permissions also match what it is replacing.
7. Move your new file to the folder, root explorer will ask if you want to replace the file. Confirm.
8. Back out of root explorer and immediately reboot.
No force closes, no problems .
Cwm file worked great on cog beta 4. Thnkz!!

Thanks! I added your tutorial to the OP.
Well if your like me and hate orange! Then here are two framework-res.apk with a blue and green overscroll color. Just rename them to framework-res.apk and overwrite the original file in system/framework.
Do not forget to back up original file! I claim no responsibility to problems.
Very subtle but a very nice touch...kudos...came zip worked great!!!

Does this still have the problem of not changing the Contacts or other Samsung apps?

Alright this may be Cog4 only... if you want, upload your framework.jar and framework-res.apk and I'll mod it for you and let me know if that works.

Yes. Those need the tw-framework to be modified and I haven't taken a look at those yet since I'm trying out Perception for a couple of days and that already has it coded in? But it isn't a problem per-say, it's just how Samsung decided to code those specific apps and there isn't a way to implement them in 2.3.4 without breaking the slide left to call, slide right to message, feature. 2.3.5 Roms have that built in on Samsung apps.
Problem probably isn't the best word.
Thanks for answering though. I always wanted the overscroll but having mixed bothered me.

There's a leaked 2.3.5 ROM for the i777 but personally I'm using designgear's Perception which is a port of a i9100 ROM and it works perfectly. I'd recommend the latter since leaked ROMs tend to have problems.

could you modify the framework.jar for UnNamed v1.0.1 - First ever well documented and open source stock derived rom? It has the extended power menu and if I overwrite the framework.jar using this it will break that extended power menu. Much thanks for getting the overscroll glow!!

Hi All !!
I was using this ROM for quite a while, thought i'll share my work with you all.
This is for i9200, But i am not sure if it would work for i9205.
Its based of stock i9200 i9200XXUDNK1 KitKat 4.4.2 from sammobile.com.
Its a mixture of Odexed and deodexed.
==============================================
The S5 features it has are,
Systemui of S5
Note 4 launcher (actually S5 launcher, i just themes the page navigator icons to look like Note 4)
Lockscreen of Note4
Settings of S5
Note 4 weather
Some S5 apps like Magazine, Group play, Group Camcoder, S5 gallery, S5 music, S5 contacts and dialer, SPlanner, SVoice, Voice Recorder, etc etc..
===============================================
Oops! lot of Note 4 mentioned above, but mainly its all got from S5.
Currently i am trying to search forums on how to make an Update.zip Rom so that you can all just flash it.
All i have now is just a backup of my Rom which i made using PhilzTouch 6.48
Please see the screen shots. attached.
Internet connection is slow.. so please gimme time to upload.
Will post the links soon on mediafire.
ROM Download Link & steps to flash
ROM Links and Steps to flash.
Modem and Boot.img included in the download links.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
First Method
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
==================================================================================
1: Download the Backup named "2015-01-16.07.49.38_KOT49H.I9200XXUDNK1.7z" from Mediafire using the link below.
Link = https://www.mediafire.com/folder/qrtmbymle0c0d/Bevin_ROMs
The file has an extension 7z.
Extract the folder inside the zip file using 7Zip to your desktop.
Make sure the contents are extracted to a folder with the name " 2015-01-16.07.49.38_KOT49H.I9200XXUDNK1 " on your desktop
There are totally 12 files inside " 2015-01-16.07.49.38_KOT49H.I9200XXUDNK1 " folder.
2: Download PhilzTouch recovery version 6.48 and flash it
Reboot to the Phiztouch recovery and go to philzsettings-> uncheck md5 verification (thanks to Fredo2000)
3: Backup your current ROM (full backup - if in case anythin goes wrong) to sdcard or external sdcard (sdcard1).
4: Reboot to your current rom and connect your phone to the computer.
5: Now from your computer... Go to Computer->locate your phone-> go to memory card->clockwordmod folder->backup folder->paste here (the folder " 2015-01-16.07.49.38_KOT49H.I9200XXUDNK1 ) which was extracted on your desktop.

7: Reboot phone
8: Phone will boot with the new Lollipop Screen.
9: Wait for a minute till everythin looks fine and then go to settings add wifi networks and add account - Google
10: All the S5 customization will be intact in this method.
==================================================================================
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Second Method
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
===================================================================================
1: Download the CWM Flashable zip ROM named " S5ROMforMEGAi9200_17Jan2014.zip " from the below link
Link : https://www.mediafire.com/folder/qrtmbymle0c0d/Bevin_ROMs
2: Reboot to PhilzTouch Recovery
3: Wipe Factory Reset Phone -> clean to install a New ROM
4: Install Zip -> install from sdcard/sdcard1 -> S5ROMforMEGAi9200_17Jan2014.zip and flash.
5: Reboot to recovery again.
6: Re-root system using Philz touch miscellaneous settings.
7: setup wizard comes up and proceed till you get to the home screen.
8: You will find the navigation bar. Do not disable it in build.prop instead follow step 9.
9: Install Xposd Framework apk (search it and download it from google), open the app, install framework. reboot.
10: Install GravityBox KK apk from the download section of xposd app. Install it. Enable it in modules. Restart
11: go to gravitybox app reduce the size of the navbar to like 0 or 1 .. prefered is 0 using the slider.
12 That will get rid of the navigation bar (this is important for the dialer) and wil stil have the overflow menu enabled everywhere.
13: download AppSettings from xposed app under download section and install it. enable it in the modules section. reboot.
14: open App settings app and look for contacts.
15: change the dpi from 0 to 320 and save (this is important for the phone dialer to become full screen)
16: thats pretty much you have to do. everythin else is present already in the ROM.
17: to explore the various features.. long press the notification toggle icons.. it ll open a new menu which is not present in the settings.
18: using xposd app you can download even floating windows to make windows float like note 4.
===================================================================================
Some of the Apps are preloaded as I like it that way. You can uninstall them as you please.
This ROM has no bugs so far, so if you do find bugs - I will be happy to fix them and release another ROM later on.
If you Factory Reset your phone, you might lose certain customizations done on XPosed Framework. (Hence i suggest you not to unless you know what you are doing)
====================================================================================
If something does not work fine related to network bluetooth or Wifi (most unlikely) - Flash XXDNK1 modem.
====================================================================================
:good:
This ROM is stock Samsung ROM i9200XXUDNK1 (latest release of 4.4.2 from samsung) with S5 built in apps.
I use the stock baseband (modem) i9200XXUDNK1 and have face no issues so far.
Features of this ROM - Unlike any other
Things you will notice on this ROM
=======================================================================
1: I made a unique tweak with air view turned on, Thers always a feedback on the screen whereever your finger moves be it lockscreen or any other window.
2: Power Saving in Settings shows Different options and Power Saving in Notification Toggle shows greyscale options.
3: Viper audio to boost the Audio output.
4: 31 toggles. Even S5 doesn't have so many toggles. But 31 looks best for our big screen.
5: funcitonal Quick connect and SFinder.
6: Watch on remote control on notification panel when turned on.
7: Life Companion (smaller font)
8: First available Ported Note 4 look launcher with no stupid pullup app to screw with it.

10: Group Camcoder works
11: All the Apps are updated to their latest release.
12: Device Status - Official (but do not update)
13: No branding what so ever. I dint do it as i hate it when i have to see others Name or their logos on my phone. Its so annoying!!
14: Double tap the staus bar to sleep
15: 4 way reboot options
16: Haptic feedback enabled by default with sound for air view.(power saving can disable it)
17: Android Version shows 4.4.4 (but its just a tweak)
18: S5 icons on settings and S5 settings.. all working.. no bugs!!
19: First working S5 keyboard for our phones with all working functionality.
20: Some awesome things i did to the ROM that i am forgetting right now to mention.
21: I did no tweaks to the performance of the ROM as I dont wanna play with that part. You can do it yourself.
22: Floating windows and all other tweaks are part of XPOSD
=======================================================================
Why didn't i share this earlier?
I was too busy flashing lollipop ROMs..and just realised this was better than everythin else.
So, spent more time fixin problems on the phone and now i share my work with all of you.
Hope you Enjoy my ROM as i do - but then it really doesn't matter to me if you do not.
If you dislike my work, just remember that no one ever shared a stupid S5 ROM before while all the other phones like S3 s4 and Note 2 Note 3 etc all had developers making S5 and note4 roms for these devices and none for us.
Feel free to rip my ROM apart and do whatever you want with it.
Thanks to Blekota for his Samsung S3 ROM. It made my Mega alive!!
Thanks to unclefab too.
You don't need to make a zip if you are rooted.
From your phone, open your android terminal and type:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/sdcard/system.img
Wait a bit, after a while you'll have your system.img in your sdcard (but make sure you have sufficient storage as it's a pretty big file).
Then, to anyone wanting to push it on one's phone, put the img file on your sd and type:
su
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20
You can do it from adb too, just type adb shell before su.
If the phone doesn't boot after flashing the img you'll have to wipe wipe data and cache.
Did you keep the original boot.img or did you flash the S5's?
In case you used the S5's boot.img and want to add it to your rom, type this:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/boot.img
@bevinabraham :
my connection is pretty slow too so I'd like to ask you 2 questions before I attempt to download:
1-did you replace the whole system/app and the whole system/framework folders?
2-how is the multi windows function? Any difference compared to the stock Mega 4.4.2?
Do you have that note 4 feature that enables to resize full screen windows from the screen edges (swiping down from either top left or top right)?
The proper way is to use an android kitchen (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246) but it seems that may be out of your wheel house. There are also ways to make a full update zip of your ROM via nandroid and some play store apps.

Hi,
Actually thats not what i am trying to do.
How to people get the starting new set up wizard etc when you just flash a rom? how do i export all the folders such as the whole system folder with the boot.img in it into a update.zip?
any code for that?
To answer your second question..
I did not replace the whole System APP PrivAPP and the framework folders as its a larger resolution that ours..
So, I just ported only a few files from the system app and a few files from the priv app and a lot of lib and etc files and twframework files.
Then i modded the stock frameworkres.apk file from the framework folder with the s5 frameworkres,apk .
So its pretty much the whole that we see outside is all of s5 stuff..but everythin under it which we cant see (are the stock functions)
and its not themed if thats what u meant.. the lockscreen is of note4..
The floating windows i got using Xposed framework. i can resize it..
The multiwindow is stock multi window.. from the DNK1 rom.. its slightly diff that the old ones i guess as u can add and edit items,.

Yes.. i ll try this.. i saw it in the recovery of PhilzTouch.. to clone the ROM.
trying it now.
The boot.img, if I understood well you kept the one from the mega so you can forget that part.
Then, there's no need for any starting wizzard, people just flash your system.img and get whatever tweaks you put inside, that's it.
You can of course use android kitchen, but the method I gave you is by far the easiest and the fastest.
Nowadays I use this method, I make my rom the way I like it and add this or that, then I make an .img image ready for flashing, and I only use android kitchen if I need to edit my boot.img.
Lat but not least, once you have a system.img you can pass it through 3 commands and make it an odin flashable file for people that aren't rooted.
Reagrding note 4, I'm not interested in lockscreen stuff, I just wanted to know if the multi windows function in your rom is the same than in the stock mega Kk or if it has new features.

I am onot sure if it would work on i9205, but then there is no reason why it should not work as this rom does not have the baseband/modem file etc.. just the boot and the system.
