Hi all!
This is my mixture of the latest ROM available, KF2. TK-ROM is created with the intent to be a mixture of the latest available sources, though stable for everyday use.
Ofcourse I don't take any responsibility for your device... This works with mine, so it should on yours too!
First off: Thanks to the people that inspired me to learn how to use build ROMs, and for those that gave me hints in the Samsung universe: Cyanogen, Pulser_g2, Paul from MoDaCo, designgears, jazzor, bmarko82 ++
ROM features:
-Rom Base: XXKF2 (thanks to Intratech's thread)
-PDA:KF2, CSC:KF2, PHONE:KF2
-Deodexed
-ZIP-Aligned
-Battery percentage, adwanced power menu & CRT effect (update.zip without below in the thread) (Thanks to JKay)
-Modded Maps 5.7.0 to allow navigation outside the US - for official install maps.zip through CWM found in data/maps/ (thanks to ownhere/stian230)
-Added European servers to GPS config file
-CF-Root v4.0 KF2 Kernel w/root/busybox/CWM4 (Thanks to Chainfire)
-Chainfire3D v2 (obvious who to thank, or?^)
-modified mms.apk (Thanks to muveszur)
-modified camera.apk (thanks to Potatoman)
-Gtalk with video (thanks to ma10)
-Launcher Pro 0.8.6
-Titanium Backup
-Lagfixed browser (thanks to LitePro)
-Swype and Samsung IME with nordic languages
-Removed full battery notification sound
-Removed lots of Samsung apps (update.zip to get them back under)
Download TK-ROM v0.3.8 md5: a30476eab55cfa59041921bd00fce9c9
v0.3.8 doesn't require a wipe to work. If you experience problems, please try wiping (data + dalvik cache) before reporting issues.
To get a really nice, blue theme for TK-ROM, visit this post!
FLASH THROUGH CLOCKWORKMOD, NOT ODIN!
Instructions:
1. Flash a custom kernel with CWM, eg. this
2. Download the ROM, and place it somewhere on the external SD card
3. Reboot into CWM
4. Navigate with the vol keys to Install zip from SD card -> choose zip -> navigate to where you put the ROM -> press home button
5. Press power button to go back, then home to reboot device
If you appreciate this ROM you may consider to buy me a soda (I don't like beer you see ). It's not expected, but highly appreciated!
Or to thank me, simply press the "thanks"-button
*To get the official Google Maps flash the maps.zip attached through CWM, and update through market.
*To remove the CRT effect flash the framework_wo_crt.zip though CWM.
*To remove samsungapps (musichub, socialhub, IM etc.) open the attached .txt on your phone, mark all, copy & paste in terminal, then accept root and you're finished. You can add/remove apps as you wish with notepad.
*The best fonts I've found so far are ComfortAA and cocon light from here.
*Phone.zip WITHOUT increasing volume is attached. Flash through CWM.
*To get the removed samsung apps installed on your system simply flash this.

nice rom, i like the features.
any chance to get stock theme on this? (stock icons etc)

i'm probably going to stick to stock from next version (which will be full version with wipe as well), as I've found a glitch in this theme already (took me one day though... was finished yesterday) :S The stock version will be up in ~1 hour
Flott jobb, mange takk /Great work, many thanks!
Although I like the black dialler, I'd prefer one with the "stock font" numbers, if you know what I mean - could that be included with your stock version?
Takk igjen
i'll wait another hour then!
are you just releasing the theme or the entire ROM ?
cant wait!
It will be the entire ROM, like 0.1b
working on it now, then I have to test it, upload and post
A few suggestions for you. I'm not fond of the charging icon included and prefer the circle that alternates between showing the charge state (percentage) and plug icon in the center. It's a lot easier to see where you are at a glance with that one when its on charge and a little bit easier than the stock when its not. This is just me maybe but I prefer to get market apps off the market should I choose them. IMO a setup like designgears uses where you can take your choice when you first boot the rom is the way to go, lets users pick their poison. Any how looks like a good piece of work and I'm likely to flash this and give er a spin.
no novek i love your theme can you keep it plaese.
excellent!
and it seems your going to be busy, i know some people really like that theme! i.e. ^

Thanks for the tips, but LP and TB are apps I use much for testing etc. so unless there are many requests to remove them, they stay.
I'm going to put a .txt in OP for people to run in terminal on their phone to remove unwanted apps (with a selection that I use prepopulated). It's easier if people just removed what they don't want, and those who like what "stock-like" gives can get that.
The "Stock" version will still be with crt/advanced power menu/battery%, but slightly more clean...
Nice rom so far.
I have two issues though; one is that Google Maps won't update, says the package is incorrectly signed. Two is that scrolling seems to 'hitch' quite often. Having come from Lite'ning ROM which was silky smooth, it's quite noticeable.
Thanks for posting though

I use the Ti pro myself, have LP installed but have been running TW debloated for a while. Wanted to give it a fair shake. The idea was not those specific apps just a mechanism that allow users to choose their poison whether it be like design gears, a spare parts, a separate app such as pulser uses. Or what you propose, doesn't matter its the concept not the road. For myself I can fix these things before I flash or after case depending but it takes less time to skip unwanted software altogether than remove it after the fact. At any rate these were not criticisms just suggestions. I appreciate your efforts and will likely flash this after I see where my battery ens up with KF1 which I flashed yesterday.

It does for me for some reason... It's from here, maybe there's a solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007132
I'll look into the hitching... Is it just there during the first sync, or still present after the first 5 mins?

[ROM] SLIDE-Reloaded v1 [10/15/10] Sense 2.1 >>Font Updates<<>>Faves button Remap<<
Let me start by saying that I am not a dev but I do have an intrest in learning as much as I can about Android and theming on roms. So after being on the forum for a bit now and trying to learn a few things, this is what I have come up with. I have taken CR's OTA and done a few things to it. I will try to list everything, but I might miss a thing or two. If you would like to dl the stock deodexed rom without any framework changes click HERE
This rom is based off CR_Mod_1.35.531_OTA
I would like to thank ChiefzReloaded, eugene373, Roman, Kingofyo1, dumfuq, sino8r, Cyanogen and all the other people that have contributed to the Slide community and its development. I would also like to say thanks to the1wingedangel for writing the code that made the "Faves" mod possable.
Please keep in mind that you are flashing these mods at your own risk and I am not responsable for anything that happens to your phone.
With that being said, I bring you:
SLIDE-Reloaded v1 DOWNLOAD MIRROR
-Deodexed
-Apps2SD (Darktremor)
-2 Themes to choose from
-Custom Status bar
-Custom Battery icon
-Custom Nav bar
-Custom Menu tab
-Custom Lockscreen slider
-Custom Font
-Skinned Swype (Theme from my old G1)
-Custom Boot Animation (Unknowforce)
-Latest Superuser
-Live wallpers (Alternate launcher)
-Added Rom Manager (thanks koush)
-Added Car Home
-Updated Maps
-Added Flashlight
-Removed extra themes
-Extra Apps Folder
-Probably stuff I forgot
_____ADDITIONAL MODS/UPDATES YOU CAN FLASH_(Optional)_________
*All mods/updates should be flashed using Rom Manager or Clockwork Recovery*
If you would like the stock font, you can dl the update HERE and flash via recovery
or you can click HERE and fash any of the fonts in that thread without a problem.
If you would like your Faves button to open another application such as Gmail or
Messaging you can download the update for that below. If you dont see something
that works for you, let me know and I will see what I can do.
Faves to Gmail-------------------->MIRROR
Faves to Mms/Messaging-------------------->MIRROR
Faves to Browser---------------------->MIRROR
Faves to Music---------------------->MIRROR
Faves to Voice Search-------------------------->MIRROR
Faves to Search Contacts--------------------->MIRROR
Faves to Contacts------------------------->MIRROR
THE ABOVE MODS/UPDATES SHOULD WORK FOR ANY STOCK EXPRESSO 2.1 DEODEXED ROMS AND
DO NOT REQUIRE A DATA WIPE, SO FLASH AWAY!!
Under Construction
-Need to learn how to change background color
-Custom Rosie.apk (Hopefully)
-More Themes to come!!!
This rom is running Darktremor's Apps2SD.
If you would like to enable it, follow the instructions below
for installation and make sure your sd card is partitioned.
If not, then just skip step 5.
And dont forget to do a nandroid backup.
Rom Installation Instructions
1. Use Rom Manager to wipe/nandroid/flash SLIDE-Reloaded or
2. From clockwork recovery do a full data wipe and cache wipe
3. Flash SLIDE-Reloaded
4. After boot-up go through set up and pick theme and finish.
5. To activate Apps2SD: Using Root Explorer, open it and
navigate to data and then look for a folder called 1_app_extras.
Inside the folder are a few extra usefull apps. Look for
Terminal Emulator install it and open it. Then type in these commands:
su (enter) Superuser will popup. Push YES. Then type
cd system/bin (enter)
a2sd cachesd (enter) It should install, takes about 30 sec.
When it is finished installing it should have a # sign
You can now back out of those apps and reboot your phone.
Apps2SD should now be installed.
6. Install your apps and enjoy!!!
Keep in mind that this rom is a little larger than stock because of the 1_app_extras folder. If that bothers you you can remove it out of the data folder to cut down on space. To access the 1_app_extras folder and the apps that are inside it you must Root Explorer, a normal file manager wont work. Just open Root explorer and navigate to data then to 1_app_extras. You can just install the apps from there. With all my apps (77 total) installed and running like I have explained I have about 90 MB of Available internal storage.
One of the things that I am liking about this rom is being able to change themes with the touch of a button. I really wanted to try and use the themes to our advantage and give you guys some things you would like.
I have some more ideas for themes, but it would be great to hear some of your ideas. Please post them.
As far as I could tell everything works great but if you guys find anything
please let me know and I will see what I can do to get it fixed up.

Reserved for future
Hello,
# 1 Thanks for the post
Themes look good. Are these just modified my modes themes or is this something that you came up with on your own such that we might have the ability to change status bar icons etc when we switch themes?
Thanks in advance.
One theme is the framework and one is a my mode theme. I don't think you can add the needed files to the my modes themes but that was one of the things I was going to work on for future updates. I could make a update zip with the the files needed to change those things but it would have to be flashed. It wouldnt be as easy as changing themes now.
I love CR_Mod and 2.1 Espresso! Will flash this now. Thanks.
Forever to boot up. No problem. Said internal memory was low, down to 3.5mb. Font too big, no problem... was gonna change it.
Restoring Nandroid! Thanks, though.
Great work, looks good
Love It
I absolutely love your modded-rom and this is giving me a reason to run 2.1 until 2.2sense is released for us mtslide users.....

This is a great ROM. Thanks for sharing your work!
damn dude, this is a very nice and different rom! i'm gonna update the slide bible for this asap!
Great rom. Only gripe is I didn't see the need to leave both music apps in. Its like when some roms have both Gallerys. Both are good so chose one and kill the other. We don't have gigs of internal memory to spare like other phones, unfortunately. However, that's nothing, this is a GREAT rom!!

I am used to using my Nexus One and splitting time between a Sense Rom by Evil and More stock Froyo by MicroMo and Enom. Had a heck of a time, getting my wife's fairly new MyTouch slide to root so I could do some customizing. Plus had to get used to Clockwork when I was schooled with AmonRecov. Anyways, so far, no problems. Her issue is the Font you use. She feels it's kind of hard to read. Not sure you can offer a tip on just changing up your main Font you use, or having to just apply another theme.
Is a them-er working with you yet. Metamorph or flash either way? Anyways, kudos for a nice alternative sense ROM.

My setup has 48Mb free on after only installing a few apps. I am familiar with using DarkT's aps2d, but while I had wanted to add an ext3 setup, like on my N1, I was unfamiliar with how to do this with Clockwork Recovery. I had dabbled quickly with an initial install of CM 6.0 and did see his options added for partitioning. Now, I just noticed ROM Manager, which basically will work with Clockwork to do this, so as I was typing to ask, I just noticed how Anyways, just a comment on space available.
OK...sorry for long post. If I use ROM manager options to create the EXT and it basically deletes all the info, can I use a backup I just ran to restore to the new partitioned setup?

I used my old g1 and amon recovery to partion and I have a ext2 partition. I think rom manager works to partition but I would make a copy of all the contents on your sd card and save it on your PC and then repartion your card and copy the stuff back to ensure you dont lose anything. As for the font, you are the second person to mention something about it so let me see if I can make a update .zip to change the font back to stock. Unless there is a font she would like better. If so then just say the word.
I am not sure why you have such little space after install. Like I said in a previous post, I have about 80mb upon fresh install. I am going to do some investigating into it. Maybe pull out a sd card that hasnt been partitioned and try a install with that.
I dont have any theme-er working with me. Metemorph as far as I know still wont work with our phones yet. I havent made a update.zip yet but i am going to. It will prob be later tonight b4 I get a chance to delve more into it.
Great work!!!

Thanks for getting back. Any stock looking font would make her happy. Just seems some of the screens, like settings, the font is a little too big so some of the text isn't readable. Would be nice if you could make a flash file where a table of fonts could be chosen from a menu. Maybe too much, but just a thought. Anyways, other than the Font, all is working well on her phone. Great work and appreciated....

ICE CREAM SANDWICH GUIDE AND NEW FEATURES OF SAMSUNG OFFICIAL ICS AND ROM QUESTIONS
Hey guys. With the new Ics roms there are brand new ways to do things that are very different from gingerbread.
How do I take a screenshot in ICS?
This is one new feature of ICS. Hold down the power button and volume down button.
Can I still slide my finger across the status bar to change brightness?
Yes.
Where is usb debugging and unknown sources?
The usb debugging is now in developer options in the settings menu. Unknown sources lies in security options in the settings menu.
How do I activate face unlock?
Go to settings then security and select screen lock. There you will find face unlock along with 4 other options.
How come when I hold the home button I get this menu instead of the last 6 apps I use?
Google made a better way to multi task in Ics so now everything you used is shown. You can swipe right or left to kill an app.
How do I copy and paste?
Hold down on the screen and move the arrows to what you want to copy and press the piece of paper at the top right of the screen.
How do I activate mass storage, all that shows up when I plug in the computer is mtp?
Once again this is a new feature of ics. To get mass storage go to settings then click more then usb utilities and click usb storage.
How come when I click on phone I no longer see the contact tab in the menu. I only see phone, log, and favorites???
This was done by Google to help stay organized and provide a clean experience to users.
How come with all ICS roms my facebook photos don't sync and how can I fix them?
Well you got me there. For some reason the photos don't sync natively on ICS. I think its a way by google to boost users of google plus. This is easily fixable by using an app called sync my pics or by using friendcaster from the play store?
How come I can't log into my email on any ICS rom?
You can just disable push notifications.
PRIDE ROM QUESTIONS
Can I flash the add ons in the second post on top of one another?
Yes you can for most. Its a pretty cool feature.
Why is this rom so bloated?
This is 100 percent stock samsung rom so all samsung apps will remain. I believe in a system where the user has the option to customize any rom the way they want. That includes keeping the apps they deem worthy and removing the ones they hate. I use a great deal of samsung apps such as the music hub, social hub, and more. They are really truly innovative apps that show off the power of our phones and gives pleasure that ATT can't provide.
How can I debloat myself?
Download Titanium Backup from the market and remove whatever app you want?
I'm downloading now to give it a shot. Rapidshare is crazy slow, so it may take a while for me to report back. Thanks for sharing!

Did a full wipe/cache/dalvik and installed with no probs. Setup wifi and Goggle and upon unlocking the screen, "Unfortunately, TwLauncher has stopped". Same thing after reboot.
[EDIT] Doing another wipe of cache and dalvik and reinstalling.
Now I'm getting a 'Android is upgrading/optimizing x of 137' message as the OS is loading. Bah, same error upon screen unlock.

Same here. Got through entire set up process and touchwiz wouldn't start. Clearing caches didn't correct the problem, nor did reinstalling. Back to AOKP for me. I'll try again when problems are fixed.
That's weird. Touchwiz stopped? I didn't do anything related to touchwiz. Hang on ill fix it

add GoLauncher ex or smth to the firmware.zip into system/app and reflash, then choose your launcher and all will be ok.

Good deal. I'll try it first thing in the morning. Way past my Zzz time as it is.
I might have removed an app or something but right now I can't see it. I'm going to get a quick nap in and then I'll just post the build without removing apps.

(theme) "MISSING LINK" aka O.Z.O.P THEME BUILDER and BOOT/SHUTDOWN INSTALLER 10/15/14
*"THE MISSING LINK" Theme builder (see changelog)
BEFORE MODDING YOUR SYSTEM ALWAYS MAKE A FULL NANDROID BACKUP!!!!
This has been built and tested on my T-Mobile S5
O.Z.O.P. ROMOne Zip One Place
I started out theming back on my S2 and created what is now called "Missing Link"
As any themer/developer knows, these things take test, after test, after test, to get things working and looking properly !!!
The problem is, every time things get left behind and garbage files build up until the ROM isn't running just how I like.
I USED to have to wipe everything and flash the Base ROM, then flash seperate file after file, or mods and theme options to get it back to where i wanted it and this is where O.Z.O.P. is born!!!
My idea for this project is to have One Zip file in One Place with EVERYTHING you could want or need to build a new and different ROM when you feel the need for change. So this will DEFINITELY be W.I.P. and grow with more and more to come, and go if need be!!
So Here is a run down of the options given to you during the Aroma Installation
Starting with
*Backup/Restore your current settings, accounts, Bluetooth/WiFi pairings, text messages and setting with call logs, very convenient when you are a pure flashaholic like myself.
There is definitely a right way and wrong way to apply your restoration.
Don't worry that I've testing it thousands of times literally.
click for instructions on Backup/Restore Script
Right now the complete Restore Script isn't working in the same flash session as the ROM install.
follow these to reduce problems
1) In recovery run the "Backup Script"
2) Flash the ROM (of your choice)
3) in the same session run "Restore Script" and any other mods you want. This will get your account sign in finished
4) let the phone boot up and finish the "Set up Wizard"
5) now boot to recovery and run the "Restore Script" and this will finish restoring your settings options and text messages.
if you have "force close of android.process.acore" or any other force close issue
***THE FIX EVER TIME IS GET TO RECOVERY AND FIX PERMISSIONS!!! *** Simple as that.
*WIPES

Not Not v2.3 NG4 here
Missing Link plus v3+
Remember this is work in progress.
I am always open for new ideas and please let me know if things aren't working.
Thanks again.
This project wouldn't be possible without all of the brilliant minds here on XDA!!!
**Again, before you run this installer make a backup Just In Case!!
previous releases
*****Download Not Now v1 HERE*****
Fixes/misc downloads:
*Flashable TWRP 2.8.0.1
*Fingerprint Scanner
Instructions for installation
1-Download and place on internal SD card (either work, just quicker loading from internal card)
2-Boot to custom recovery or your choice
3-Flash the zip file of Missing Link you downloaded
4-Aroma Installer will run you through a list of option with multiple choices to choose from (if you're not sure what they are follow instructions to preview your choice while you using Aroma)
5-Reboot and you good, no wipe necessary, done
Instructions for Restoring your backup
1-You will only have a backup if you have flashed Missing Link or ROM Not Now
2-The Script creates a Flashable Backup and puts it in the NotNow folder on your internal SDcard
3-It will only keep 1 (one) copy of this file. It gets overwritten every time. So if you flash Missing Link and Then flash it again, you will no longer have the setup you started with. You will have a copy of your most recent Missing Link Theme. So if you want the "back to stock" copy, you will have to manually take a copy of the first flash from the folder and place it else where.
4-When you're ready just flash the Undo_Last_MissingLink.zip from recovery
5-Reboot and you good, no wipe necessary, done

NP. It's weird that it says that. I've seen with a few other Aroma zips from other devs too. Not sure why it says that, but the files always open with Root Explorer and they always flash fine. Let me know what you think of the mod options. Even better let's see some screenshots!! Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you
Im really looking forward to this,most other themes for the S5 have got abandoned and there is almost no nice theme around
Hey Stang, how you been?
Glad to see you got the S5. Maybe you could clone your thread over to Sprint S5 Themes and Apps as well. I'm sure the folks would like to play with this over there as well.

I'm doing much better since being dropped by Sprint for using too much" unlimited data"! I love this phone! I have been following your mod thread since before I actually had the phone in hand. So many good mods. The hard part is picking which to start with first. Unfortunately I've been having issues with my PC and decompiling correctly. I'm in need of a reformat anyways. That's a great idea about sharing this over to the sprint people. A few small adjustments and should work fine with Sprint version. Good to hear from you and keep up the good work. Thank you
This is very handy. I have a couple of suggestions that might help to get more people check this out quicker. Perhaps a quick tutorial in the initial post about how to use aroma? I only know how to use this through recovery. Is there another way? Also I think that maybe a pure dark theme would get people's attention fairly quickly. How are you able to theme pkm files with aroma? I didn't think that was possible. All in all, very cool. Thanks for the work that you you have put in. I'm looking forward to additional options.

Also I am not themeing the pkm images with Aroma, not Theming pkm files at all. I was surprised when I discovered them and disappointed when I found the difficulty in even viewing them. Hopefully soon I will get that part figured out. You can expect a whole level then!!
Anyways the OP is updated with a new link for Missing Link v1.1 update
Works on Sprint, too!
Working out the kinks.....but it does work.

Definitely still working out the kinks and testing new things daily! With the help of @Ryno1982 and his advice about the new pkm image files it opened up some options with the Dialers. I I will put together an update with these new options for a release this week hopefully.

Not enough info to help?? what options did you pick?
What ROM are you using?
What recovery are you flashing with?
Did you download to your phone or pc?
Where does it "hang"? Does it say "zipalign in progress", "optimizing system"? If so this part takes a little while especially if you picked every option. If it takes more than say 2 minutes, then something is wrong.
I would check md5, if that's good I would make sure it's on the internal sdcard. It works on extsdcard just much slower.
I have not experienced this problem personally, but every phone is different so let me know so we can get you going.
thanks for the input

It shouldn't take longer than 10 seconds, at most!!
This could be a Safe Strap compatibility issue than I'm unaware of? Have you flashed and other Aroma mod installers? If so which one with a link please? I would like to figure this out!!! Any info to a solution would be appreciated. You might want to try the updated v2 from the OP. Just released now. Let me know if maybe that one works?

So are you able to pick any options? or it freezes as it is begining? Do you see the splash screen image of Homer Simpson? Is anyone else using a safe strap device? if so are you having issues?
No splash screen..no option freezes on initial install on safe strap..never gets past it telling me installing

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.
About JazzROM-GT-N5110-KitKat [please read carefully]
First thing first; I don't consider myself an experienced ROM developer nor pretend to be one here.
This ROM based on both stock 4.4.2 and @civato 's 4.4.2 ROM (you should be already familiar with his ROMs)
It uses @civato 's KK Kernel, which I found superior to stock 4.4.2 kernel. So whatever Civato listed on KK Kernel feature applies here as well.
There are a lot of my own ported apps included in this ROM. I am not going to list them all here, I am sure you will find them out one by one when playing around with ROM.
Aside from ported apps, you will also find out many features in the ROM as well, like S5 practicle effect on lock screen, etc..
Needless to say, this includes my famous ported SPen Aircommand features too. Don't ask me to remove Spen Aircommand, if you don't want it, you are in wrong ROM thread my friend!
Because of SPen Aircommand, Chrome and Reading mode does NOT work (causes soft-reboot), so please do NOT report it as issue
since this is known bug since beginning (remember all discussing about it in Civato's ROM thread, so let's not discuss it here again!), so make sure use
Chrome Beta and turn off Reading Mode in the settings. If you think these two are too critical to you, then again this ROM is NOT for you my friend!

Requirements
A Galaxy Note 8 GT-N5110 WiFi Model only
Install PhilzTouch Recovery for your device (I'm using philz_touch_6.41.6-n5110).
You should be already on Kitkat Bootloader - Please read Civato's FlexBurst ROM thread about KK bootloader stuff and discussing. Please do NOT ask here again if you can use JB bootloader or not.
Be nice, be open-minded, respect others in this thread, do NOT be jerk ask nicely. If I don't answer you, don't be get offended, remember this is given as FREE and I am doing it on my spare time!

8.2. Do Wipe Caches in PhilzTouch recovery
8.3. Go to Advance --> Wipe Dalvik Caches in PhilzTouch recovery, and reboot your tablet9. Once tablet reboots it back, find SuperSU and open it, if it prompts you to need to update Binary, update it.
*
Important!: Up to here (step 9), you should able to move around, check it out, do Google app updates, add your email account, Google accounts, etc..all normal setup like you do when you step
your tablet first time. Enable multiwindow, and check multiwindow side bar, etc, and make sure multiwindow works. Click on Air Command Shortcut app, and click OK when it prompts you, once you done with it, close Air Command Shortcut app and now Pull out spen, make sure SPen Aircommand window shows up and click on each options and make sure all works (action memo, scrap booker, screen write, etc).

10. Open Xposed installer and go to Xposed Framework, install Xposed framework, and when it prompts you to reboot, reboot your tablet.
11. Leave Synapse App (kernel tweaks) settings all default, I found out that default settings plays nicely with @Civato's Kernel.
12. Get the moded SystemUI, please see post#2 below for instruction. V3.0 comes with moded SystemUI, if you don't like it, flash stock one on post#2
13. I hope you Enjoy the ROM,[/I]

Additional Info about xposed
I have following xposed apps installed on my device - keep in mind some are paid/donation ones, support the developers and buy it;
-Amplify (enabled)
-App Settings (enabled)
-ButteredToast (enabled)
-Flat Style Colored Bars (enabled)
-Gesture Navigation (enabled) - instead of using xblast tools, I use this one's gesture settings - double tab to sleep and long press to open Aircommand window
-Greenify (enabled)
-PerAppFonts (enabled)
-Popup Window Mod (enabled)
-Wannam Xposed (currently not enabled)
-Xblast Tools (currently not enabled)
-Xposed Fast TWLauncher (enabled)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Using both Amplify and Greenify helps extend battery life. My ported TouchWiz launcher already optimized (by me) for smoothness, and having Xposed Fast TWLauncher seems like
makes it much smoother. Xposed Fast TWLauncher originally intended to Note 3 devices's SecLauncher, but it works fine here. I am currently not using Wannam Xposed nor Xblast Tools,
- I was relying on them because of gesture stuff, but since now I switched to Gesture Navigation, I disabled both of them on my device. if you want to use it, use only one of them as they may conflict each others.
Warning: Xposed stuff and apps are great way to customize and add extra feature to your device, but sometimes they causes a lot of conflict to each other and device itself, which eventually makes your
device unstable. So My personal experience and suggestion to you is always be cautious. before you go crazy with xposed stuff - always make a full-nandroid backup.
Additional Settings
I have these are set to (Settings --> Developer Options)
Window animation scale 0.5x
Transition animation scale 0.5x
Animator duration scale 0.5x
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You may loose some fancy animation (which is not noticeable anyway), setting them 0.5x makes the device much smoother and better performance. Of curse, this is up to you if you want
to have, I am just throwing it here just in case if you like to give a try!
Known Issues/Bugs
None of these issues mentioned here causes any instability of your device nor anything major, these issues considered as very minor, nothing showstopper
As it is mentioned above, Both Chrome and turning on Reading Mode (and using play books, or any other ebook reader) causes soft-reboot. Please use Chrome Beta from play store. There's no work around for reading mode, if this is very important for you, then you should probably using other stock base ROM(s). Because this ROM included latest ported and moded TouchWiz launcher from Galaxy Tab 4's 4.4.4 firmware, setting wallpaper lockscreen using TouchWiz launcher's settings causes launcher to FC, instead please set your lockscreen wallpaper thru Settings --> Display --> Lockscreen

Help and Troubleshooting
I have been running this ROM several weeks by now, and considering this ROM is quite stable and smooth, but as saying goes, there's no Perfect ROM, everyone uses his/her own devices quite differently, so there could be some bug(s) that I may overlooked. In addition, I had ROM testers who tested the ROM several times. If you follow install instruction carefully step by step and did clean install, you should not have any problem - all should work fine except two bugs Chrome and Reading Mode (see above for explanation).
It is very critical to read entire OP post here before posting question(s). Remember that this is provided as it is, means I am not your full time tech-support. Several people here in Note 8 community know me that I always try to help, but sometimes I don't know the answer nor have solution for your issue, so please do NOT be offended, ask here and maybe others will help you. Remember this is community driven thread, so help each other whenever possible.

How to get moded SystemUI on JazzROM?
This one is a bit tricky, but I am sure you eventually get new look of SystemUI (see screenshot) working without any issue or FCs, so be patient here;
Now, it is very important that you followed all steps outlined above first post and you checked everything (including Multiwindow sidebar, Spen Aircommand,..etc),
and you have been using your tablet at least couple hours!
Once you are confident that everything is working and no issue, copy both of these zip files to your device and go head flash this in recoveryJazzROM_Note_8_Mod_SystemUI.zip.
- do not clear caches nor dalvik caches!, just simply reboot your tablet after flashing. Now, when your tablet reboots, it could happen two things; it is either get SystemUI stopped error or
you will get no error.
If you get t SystemUI stopped error, flash JazzROM_Note_8_Stock_SystemUI.zip to revert it back the change and reboot your tablet. Once you got stock SystemUI in place and rebooted your tablet,
what you can try is doing it manually copy systemUI.apk (from JazzROM_Note_8_Mod_SystemUI.zip) to system\priv-app folder, give the permission 644, and reboot and check and see if you still getting error.
If no more error, you are probably good to go. It may take you couple of try, but I don't see a reason this won't work since it has been working fine on my device!
Assuming you got new SystemUI working no issue, it is very important to re-check everything again everything (including Multiwindow sidebar, Spen Aircommand,..etc),
Mod_SystemUI;
JazzROM_Note_8_Mod_SystemUI.zip
To revert it back to stock SystemUI, flash this in recovery and reboot;
JazzROM_Note_8_Stock_SystemUI.zip

Alternate Home Launcher(s) for JazzROM
Asus ZenUI Launcher
Flash it in custom recovery, and then when your tablet reboots, choose Asus Launcher

LenovoLauncher HD (From Lenovo Tablet S8-50, USA)
Sometimes a simple launcher is all you need. Here I am presenting you LenovoLauncher HD. My wife likes this because it mimics iPad (she has iPad Mini),
so whenever she wants to use my Note 8 tablet, she switches to this Launcher. By the way it start to grown on me for some strange reason, maybe because of it simplicity?
Anyway, it is nice looking launcher. I have modified this launcher to fit nicely to our screen. Please note that app name under icons is small, can't able to make it bigger
even if I tried 13p font size, it still gets the default font size, but this really does not bothers me - so don't ask if I increase it or not. Second;
when this launcher is not set default, and if you uninstall an app, it give FC (but still works), so just ignore that..
This is NOT flashable zip, so in order to install, copy content of package to your tablet and install as normal apps. It includes onekey lock and mirage theme
(pulled from Lenovo Tablet S8-50). In my setup, I place the lenovo launcher in System\app folder, and i installed onekeylock and mirage theme as normal apk...

Maybe you don't know, Samsung just pushed 4.4.4 firmware upgrade to GT-N5100, had chance to download firmware, here extracted (deodexed) ]SecCalender Tablet SPen apps.
This is NOT flashable zip, so in order to install, copy to your device's system\app folder, before you copy two apps, make sure you delete the ones comes with JazzROM (or backup, in case you want to revert it back). Anyway, did not see huge diffrences, it seems app is a little polished that's all...but thought I should share with you and give you an options which version oc SecCalender to use..

This is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722650 originally made for Note 3 theme chooser, but it also works on JazzROM's moded TouchWiz launcher as well. Because I ported latest TouchWiz launcher from Tab 8's 4.4.4 firmware, so seems like Samsung's newest stock launcher supports theme chooser (but apprently it was disabled). Anyway, using this method will enable it. Please read install instruction in above xperiacle's thread how to install.

Sweet ROM! Not only does it run smooth this ROM has made the SPen fun again.
Any chance for GT-N5100?
N5100?
TKs! I will test.

sorry guys...I don't have N5100, nor any other variant of Note 8, I have N5110 wifi...so it will be so difficult for me to build ROM for it...I don't want to say it is never going to happen, but can't promise any of you that it will happen anytime soon either...
Im really liking that Asus Zen launcher. Thanks for the port.
"Chance Favors the Prepared"
Thank you!
Trying out JazzROM. Thank you for putting it together. Very smooth. I like the updated apps. Battery life on day 1 seemed a little low, but have brought up Greenify and will see what the next few days bring. The take-away message here though is a big THANK YOU!

Battery consumption should be the same like Civato's ROM really. I am getting good battery usage, not perfect, but consider it normal (again, comparing the civato's ROM). Both Amplify xposed and Greenify helps extend battery life, in fact I am using both apps all my current devices. Let me know how your experiences with JazzROM goes..
The Amplify module made a big difference in battery life. Nice ROM!
I followed every point in your installation instructions, but multi windows is not working.. can you please help me? BTW. I miss the keyboard secondary symbols.. thank you for your hard work, it's realy a good room.

thanks for the feedback. Are you getting any error for multiwindows? or it is just simple does not shows up (multiwindow sidebar)?
About keyboard, when you say secondary symbols, what do you mean? screenshot?
I don't have issue with multiwindow, it works fine at my side...but of course, I will check it out...
Multiwindow issue & Email Exchange issue
After I got catlog from one of jazzROM testers, I dig into log, checked it out...it seems like there's some issue with SystemUI.apk - this is moded SystemUI, which makes it looks like S5's...
what strange is that I am not having issue, but again even if we all on N5110, there's could be tiny diffrences...anyway, my plan is do the new build v2.3, and stock SystemUI and Email apk, and some additional instruction how to replace SystemUI with new one (after ROM installation)..
anyway, watch out for new build v.2.3 in couple days....
First. Sorry for my bad english. The multiwindows sidebar simply does not show up no matter what i do although i repeat the installation steps two times. About the keyboard here's a screenshot taken from civato's room a month ago..

[UNMAINTAINED]
This is for both locked/unlocked. Being 100% stock it is not going to unlock your BL, mess up your DRM/keys etc!
As even in the LP time some people asked me about debloating KK (and I'm using it right now and actually seems i like it more than LP too) hereby I present you my new all-in-one solution for Z3C, this time based on KK 4.4.4, consisting in one heavily debloated full rom including some extras for both D5803 and D5833, based on 23.0.1.A.5.77 FW.
NOTES
1. as in my first debloating solution for all xperia phones, all the bloat/replaced stuff is not really deleted but moved to a Backup folder in system (/system/__Backup) so you can restore anything you want very easily (sony keyboard, sony launcher, system apps etc)
2. that's the reason you can see /system partition still almost full in spite of my high debloat, but stuff moved to the backup folder is "silent", so for sure it is not affecting the system at all and it is like it is not installed: I use this approach for people who needs to restore something, this way restoring is very very easy and fast. By the way, deleting the whole Backup folder (or moving it to your sdcard) you will then see something like 1.1 gb extra free space in /system!! (see screenshots below )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Requirements:
- Working recovery installed
Instructions:
1. full backup
2. full wipe (system, data, cache and dalvik) ***
3. flash either AIO for D5803 or AIO for D5833 (md5sums) [V2!!]
4. reboot/enjoy
*** NOTES ABOUT FULL WIPE vs DIRTY FLASH
You can also avoid wiping /data to keep all your data untouched but if YOU DO NOT WIPE DATA:
1. all apps I updated directly in /system may conflict someway with copies you may have stored in /data and you could get FC, especially Play Store/Services (btw in case any conflicts will appear it is pretty easy to fix them if you know how to clean things up yourself, for example clearing data of the conflicting apps installed in /data, and then uninstalling them via settings > downloaded apps)
2. my debloating solution won't be be 100% effective: the personal apps I included that are going to be installed in /data (xposed installer APK, Gravity Box, Xperia Xposed and Blurred UI xposed modules, Z3+ Live Wallpaper and latest Sony Album and Music) WON'T be installed but just placed in /system/etc/product/applications with no effects (so in this case you can either keep them there, won't hurt, or delete them if you don't want them, while if you want them installed you can just click on them to start the installation)
3. all the apps installed by sony FW in /data (kobo books, navigator, social life, psp app, avg etc etc) won't be automatically removed (you will have to go to settings > download apps to uninstall them manually)
4. you may get some FC due to missing overlays at boot: in this case, just enter in TWRP, mount system, go to advanced > file manager and move back the whole "overlay" folder from /system/__Backup/various/vendor_overlay to /system/vendor and reboot
I repeat the above will happen only if you DO NOT WIPE DATA, with clean flash instead everything will be as supposed: for sure no conflicts at all, all apps installed, xposed, modules, full debloat etc everything up and running and working OOB!
What you'll obtain doing the above:
- KK 4.4.4 23.0.1.A.5.77 FW (customized Belgium for D5803, Brazil for D5833)
- pre-rooted with SuperSU 2.46 and Dual Recovery 2.8.21
- 100% stock Odexed
- Heavily debloated with my own original list
- Play Store, Play Services, Play Games already updated to latest version as of 07/Sep in /system replacing the old ones provided in the FW
- AOSP browser replacing Chrome + sync adapter for syncing your Chrome desktop bookmarks
- Google Keyboard replacing Sony's
- Nova Launcher (stock sony launcher also available)
- ES File Manager replacing stock one
- TextraSMS replacing stock one
- Z4 bootanimation
- Latest xposed APK for 4.4.4
- Gravity Box module for KK
- Blurred System UI and Xperia Xposed modules
- external sdcard writing fix
- Google Calendar replacing Sony's
- Lock screen mod to hide "Swipe to unlock" message
- QuickPic app
- Simpler contacts/dialer
- Latest Sony Album app
- Latest Sony Music app

Hope you like it! If so, just please press THANKS!
Removed stuff:
With my solution you are going to get rid of more than 170 packages (unfortunately not also all the libs like it happen in LP because of how are placed apps in system in KK) plus all applications automatically installed by Sony, overlays etc...
As said at the beginning, stuff is not going to be really deleted, but moved in /system/__Backup folder. This way you can restore things very easily.
At the following link you will find the full list of all stuff I moved away:

PS. of course I also removed from my FW all the stuff that can be easily downloaded from the Play Store (Gmail, etc)
In the hidden field below you will find the restoring instructions you need to follow to restore any package you may want back:
According to what you want to restore, you have to follow two different procedures:
- all the APKs that are inside /system/__Backup/various/etc_custom_apps and /system/__Backup/various/etc_prod_apps are regular APKs that are going to be installed in /data, so you can just run them and then select "install" like a normal APK, easy. You will then see them in Settings > applications > downloaded
- instead, all the things in /system/__Backup/system_app and /system/__Backup/system_priv-app folders can't be normally installed, but must be restored in the correct /system folders with correct permissions. To do this, see the step-by-step instructions below (in the following example, I am going to restore Chrome app in /system/app and Velvet (Google Search) in /system/priv-app, but of course you can restore how many things as you want at the same time)
Code:
- with a root file manager like ES, go to /system/__Backup/system_app and MOVE both "Chrome.apk" and "Chrome.odex" files to /system/app
- with a root file manager like ES, go to /system/__Backup/system_priv-app and MOVE both "Velvet.apk" and "Velvet.odex" files to /system/priv-app
- reboot
- done
PS. don't copy but MOVE things back, or permissions will get messed up and you are likely to end up in a bootloop!
PPS. still, if you mess up something copying stuff to /system, and you get a bootloop, remember you can just enter in TWRP, mount system, and then with advanced > file manager you can delete what you have just copied to /system, this way your phone will boot up properly again

Awesome man! Waiting on your feedback and your full ROM, because if the battery is much better on KK, I'll jump back to that version.
Used this last night.. its pretty cool man thanks!

after some time on KK i can confirm that at least for me it seems i get much better battery life with KK. lately in LP i could barely get to 5 hours SOT and had to charge the phone almost daily, while now here on KK during my full second battery cycle for example i got to two full days, and more than 7 hours SOT (see attachments). almost same usage as in LP i would say. it may be a case, will see later on if these stats are confirmed. if so i think I'll keep KK here
other differences i noticed so far: much better "looking" battery stats from settings in KK (i don't like new confusing graphs in LP) and most important in kk i don't have anymore the so annoying bug showing wifi on in stats even when it was surely off... can't really stand that bug in LP! finally, at last in KK i have again screen as top battery sucker, while in LP i used to have android os, Google services and/or others...
in general as said KK seems less buggy than LP here. also, i find better brightness management in KK (it seems i never need to change the brightness slider even under direct sunlight, as i used to do in LP, and no problems at all while waking up the phone, bugged instead in LP)
other thing, i much prefer the recents management in KK (after reboot don't see the many recent apps i had active before shutting down for example)
other pretty important things, in kk no spacing problems at all with icons in status bar (can't stand this bug too in LP, hate it!), no stagefright bug to worry about (i think? don't bother me too much that bug though), and probably no data connection problems as some are having in LP (didn't have them in LP here either though)
less important things: in KK i don't feel the need to change DPI settings, everything is good as it is (can't stay in LP instead if i don't change DPI first, thing are just too big by default there!), and i find KK nicer in some things (quick tiles/notification panel for example) and uglier in others (KK contacts and dialer are just terrible for example.. does anyone know of a nice alternative dialer/dialer mod? [emoji14] )
last but not least, i find KK faster somewhere (apps list in settings for example), but slower in others (clock app while switching tabs, contacts in phone app)
very last thing KK lockscreen is less customizable, but using snaplock now which is very very nice and has all i need!
all considered, for now I'm gonna stay with KK
bye!
EDIT: here I'm on locked BL, all stock. just using greenify and stamina mode
EDIT2: also, kk is so much faster than lp in booting.. just wow! Also first boot after clean flashing is much faster!

You list some pretty compelling reasons to return to KK
Also not so impressed with LP and my main reason for using LP was the problem with the R/W to the SD card in KK - but believe that has been solved now....?
Keep up the great work and looking forward to trying your KK rom when done.
PS: Maybe you should change your signature to: Z3C WAS running my (LP)..... but NOW running my (KK).
That way you get to advertise for both of your great ROMs

Excellent breakdown thank you! Are you going to have it all in one available soon for us to just flash with ease? Or how can I do it today in simple terms?

you can already do it pretty simply following instructions in OP. several steps are needed right now though.
btw next week will surely provide a "single file solution"
How about stagefright, is that patched? That's mainly the reason why I moved to 5.1.1.

I think it is not patched.
is kk affected too by that security bug? if so, and if there is a fix for kk as well, will include it in the full rom next week

You can read here that almost all the devices and versions of android are vulnerable. I am not sure how and where to get patch for kitkat though. There are some patched libs here on xda but the question is will they work on z3c.
Is the camera fix included to open pictures taken with the cam in quickpic?

no. unfortunately the guy who made that mod did it for LP only ;( we tried to ask to make it available for kk too or let us how to do that ourselves in his thread but so far he didn't reply
ok, other question. is it possible to include the "2g-only" and "3g-only" modes? i had this in another 5.1.1 rom an it was pretty useful in areas where the 3g-network is weak to force the device to stay in it and not to switch to 2g....

i have that already available in the rom using xposed and xperia xposed module by serajr, both included in my extra zip
thanks a lot!
Slowly im reverting back to Kitkat, too. Lollipop is just not so good as KK. I cant get rid of "uncompleted experiment" feeling of LP. KK feels more consistent, completed and actually more snappier. Thanks for your debloating solution for KK, too. Works flawlessly.
Actually im getting very tired of Google's progress on Android, and im sniffing around iOS and WP. Ill hope that Google will make some significant steps to improve overall experience. LP is failure in my eyes. Especially notification area is absolutely horrible.
Changing profile's signature tomorrow to give you more credit for you good work.

You can block calls to the stagefright player in Build.prop, this doesn't fix the libs tho.
Change those lines in Build.prop.
media.stagefright.enable-player=false
media.stagefright.enable-http=false
media.stagefright.enable-aac=false
media.stagefright.enable-qcp=false
media.stagefright.enable-fma2dp=false
media.stagefright.enable-scan=false
OP updated with all in one files for both d5803 and d5833
