VillainROM 3.0 for Samsung Galaxy S 2
So that old thread was long... Very long... It had good memories, but it's time to move on to a new thread, as 10k posts is just too much, and there are some more changes this time round. First off, it's as usual, a CWM flashable zip file. But, in a slight change of direction in light of Ninpo and Netarchy's Ninphetamine kernel being more complete, version 2.0.5 is now included. That is newer than the version released in the thread, but it will be updated in due course.
So for now, here's what's new in Version 3.0
- Fully deodexed
- Introduction of Ninphetamine kernel into the ROM (version 2.0.5 with BLN etc) - Note that BLN doesn't work with the stock SMS app, but Handcent is fine. I will look at ways to trigger BLN from the Messaging app later
- Install the BLN app from the market to use this
- Removal of Diginotar root certificates from the trusted store, given they are about as secure as a paper bank vault.
- All the usual stuff, although VRTweaks will be added from scratch again, since this seems a newer and better base.
- Re-addition of SIP since Samsung thinks you should be deprived of it.
Additionally, this is a way to try out the official KI3 ROM, without the bootloader being touched, thus allowing the USB jig to continue to working. To re-iterate, VR never flashes radios or bootloaders, so is safe. Stock ROMs, and other custom ROMs which are ODIN flashed, or indeed ZIPs, can and do sometimes flash these things without telling you. Just be aware - Samsung knows about the USB jig resetting the counter, and is on it...
Install procedure, and other details to come in following posts.
Contributing VRTweaks to VillainROM
Iff you want your tweak in VillainTweaks (with full credits etc) then please PM LennyUK with a description, screenshot if you have one to hand and a direct link (xda attachment, dropbox or your own server) No file hosts please.
We will add them to VRTweaks, so users can install them without having to download files to their phone. Likewise, if users find nice tweaks, let Lenny know
VillainROM Installation Instructions
To follow these instructions we presume you already have access to Clockworkmod recovery, and are able to put the zip file onto the SD card, and flash it.
If you are coming from a ROM other than VillainROM 1.2 or above, then you should carry out a full wipe. In fact, you should be carrying out a full wipe anyway, but it's not strictly 100% necessary if you are just coming from the previous version.
Coming from Another ROM
Ensure CWM recovery is available, do a CWM/nandroid backup and titanium backup, and put the zip onto the root of the internal SD.
Enter CWM, carry out a factory reset, and cache wipe, and flash the ROM via "Install zip from SD" option.
Reboot the phone into VillainROM, bearing in mind the first boot may take some time on the boot animation.
To use BLN
Ensure you are using the included Ninphetamine kernel, and install this app from the market (free, paid version with more features available)
VillainROM Download Link
You can download VillainROM 3.0 (2.3.5) from this link
Alternatively, you can download ou can download VillainROM 2.5 from this link (2.3.4 base)
IF YOU THINK THE ROM ISN'T ROOTED, INSTALL SUPERUSER FROM THE MARKET. IF YOU WANT CWM APP, GET IT FROM THE ATTACHMENTS LIST

Super happy fun times
OK, so I think it's time to explain what this is about. It's born from the idea that came about on IRC, for a way to make a theme once for a ROM, rather than have to adjust it for each incremental update for a given ROM or ROMs.
As a user, you don't need to know much - just flash this zip like a regular zip, and you'll get your theme running. But you should be able to apply themes to any device, ROM, and version of the ROM, without it causing adverse effects. That means less time spent by themers making the original theme, and less time spent modifying it constantly for new versions of ROMs.
As a themer? Well, here is the information:
Inside the zip, in the vrtheme folder, you can create a folder called "system" and "data". The former is required, the latter is not required unless you wanted to theme a data app (strongly not recommended, unless you know the app will be there on every phone)
Inside the system or data folder, create a subfolder "app", and in these, make subfolders named EXACTLY after the APK name. For example, to theme the Browser, you need a folder called "Browser.apk". It must be correctly capitalised.
Within there, place the files you require for your theme, in the relevant locations. So most PNGs will be in res/drawable-hdpi/. You can put in xml files too (those which are not in resources.arsc), if you compile them via apktool, and extract them with a zip tool.
In the vrtheme folder, as well as system and data folder, one called "raw" can exist. Within here, you can place files to be copied verbatim to the ROM (for example, modified JAR files). Note that using this may make the theme device dependent (read WILL make it device dependent)
And that's about it.
Features
Will modify APKs in a ROM, without changing signatures, and can be used on any ROM where the filenames of themed files is the same.
Should not need updated between versions of a ROM
Zipaligns all APKs before installation
Stores a backup of all files being modified in /cache/vrtheme-backup/
Requires no coding abilities or editing of files - just drag and drop
Can copy "raw" files, though at risk of not working on other devices (well, let's face it, it won't work on likely a slightly different ROM, so this feature is not recommended or encouraged)
Credits
Doctorcete for the original idea in a discussion on IRC
Stericson for the original idea of metamorph. While totally different, it's a shared goal to separate themes from ROMs
Matt from the Metamorph team, for the zip binary compiled for Android
Seshy, for testing
EULA
Nothing evil or complicated - just a few little things. You should not charge for access to this code. That includes a zip containing this, or a derivative of it. So please don't sell themes using it. That's not particularly cool. If you want to use it commercially for some reason, get in touch with us.
If you spot a bug or error, and find a fix, please reply in this thread and let us know, or post the changes you made. If you're going to distribute the changed version, it is expected that you share the change made by contacting us, or posting it here.
Finally, don't be a douche - don't rip this off or call it your own, and leave all headers and comments identifying the origin of the code in place. Don't rename this to match your ROM or "team" name - it's not cool, and it's not yours to go and adjust. I chose to make this a readable "plain" script, but can easily obfuscate and encrypt it if you want to be a douche.

You can have the VR2.4 ROM odexed, tomorrow. Or deodexed, with a laggy (or non-present) stock browser tonight.

First of all, thanks for the great work!!
In the meanwhile, could you please further collaborate on the reason for your move from an odexed framework towards the fully deodexed framework?
We know that we will be missing the smooth scrolling of the browser, but what will we get on the other side?

[26/7][XXKG3] VillainROM 2.3 for SGS2 < The ROM Noonski couldn't drain the battery on
Updated to version 2.4, go to the new thread - this one's too long...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198334
How to Flash VillainROM?
Step 1- flashing cf-root.
- If you have already flashed cf-root then move onto step 2.
First things first, check what stock rom you are on, go to menu > settings > about and look for key phrases like "KE2" or "KE4" etc this is your kernel number. Make sure this is not the number in the "baseband" line as this is your MODEM version (radio) not kernel.
Then go to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and download the kernel for the same version type as you just identified, once downloaded extract from the .zip so you have the .tar file.
Download ODIN if you have not already done so, also in that thread above and extract from the zip.
Install samsung KIES from this link (for drivers) - http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/m...softwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
Once you have done all this power down your phone and then power back on in download mode. To do this you need to turn the phone on by pressing volume down, home and power all at the same time. You will get a screen asking you to press volume up to confirm.
Now plug your phone into your PC and let it install the drivers.
You are now ready to open ODIN.
Go to the "PDA" box and direct it to the .tar file of the CF-ROOT kernel you downloaded then hit "START". DO NOT TICK OR UNTICK ANY BOXES LEAVE IT AS IT WAS BY DEFAULT.
Once complete the phone will reboot, you can now unplug it, you have root on a stock rom.
Step 2- How to install VillainRom
WARNING, DOING THIS YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA (that includes apps and sms's, call logs etc etc) BACKUP OR BE PREPARED TO LOSE THEM
Download the latest VillainRom this is a .zip file DO NOT EXTRACT IT!!.
Plug your phone into your pc and place this .zip file onto the root of your internal (or external) SD card.
Once down, unmount, unplug from your PC and then turn off the phone.
Boot into ClockWorkMod recovery by powering on with volume UP, home and power held.
Go to BACKUP and run a backup
Once this is done go to "wipe data/factory reset" then do "wipe cache".
Now you need to go "Install Zip from SD" find your .zip file of VillainRom and flash.
Once complete you can reboot the phone, you will be on VillainRom.
If for some strange reason you get stuck into a boot loop (meaning its taking longer than 10 minutes to boot into the rom) you will need to hold power till the phone turns off, boot into CWM and repeat the wipe and flashing steps above.
Step 3 - Updating CF-ROOT Kernel
Now you are on VillainRom you will need to update the kernel to match the rom. At the time of writing this is the KG1 kernel (but check in IRC or on the rom post if your not sure). This time you will want to keep this as a .zip file.
First of all, install VRTweaks from http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/4570-(updated)-VillainTweaks-v1.3.1-(29-May), and install it.
Place the CF-ROOT .zip file onto your phone and then open the "CWM" app, once open go to "flash kernel" and point it to that .zip file.
The phone will reboot.
STEP 4 (OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED) - UPDATE MODEM
Download the reccomended modem from the rom thread this will be a tar.md5 file DO NOT RENAME IT (it may be in a .zip, if so extract it)
Put your phone into download mode and open Odin.
Click "PHONE" and guide it to the tar.md5 file
Press Start
Phone will reboot and your done

Quadrant and some "other" ROMs
So it seems that a couple of ROM "chefs" thought it was a good idea to sneak in a script to cheat their quadrant benchmark results... Both Lite'ning ROM, and AngeloROM are giving deceiving quadrant scores.
Quadrant isn't an amazing benchmark for the SGS2, as it's not properly multi-threaded, but I think it's worth explanining what was going on here. Both of the named ROMs are using an init.d script to detect Quadrant, and mount its files to a ramdisk, meaning that IO performance is not being measured accurately. This can give the undiscerning user a very high Quadrant score (in excess of 6000 in some cases).
What does this mean? Absolutely nothing. But it's essentially a sign that the maker of that ROM does not see fit to be honest with you. Can you trust someone who would rather boost their "e-peen" by deceiving you, rather than forego the e-peen extension, and instead be honest about the performance of your ROM.
Just think... If a ROM dev is happy to hide code to cheat Quadrant scores, and deceive you in that way, in what other ways might they also be deceiving you?
And for the avoidance of doubt, VillainROM does not, and will not, make use of dodgy "cheating" methods to fool you into thinking you have higher benchmark scores than you do... It's not cool, it's not something you expect to see from a "developer", who should be someone trustworthy, given the level of trust you are giving them by installing a ROM they make.
So without further ado, VillainROM 2.3 can be downloaded from this linkhttp://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/s...nROM-2.3-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-(2.3.4-time)
If you are after a light version of the old VillainROM 2.0 by [email protected], download from http://www.multiupload.com/6OEDBEYO01
After installing, I recommend you flash the XXKG3 modem, which you can download from this link: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/4942-ROM-VillainROM-2.3-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-(2.3.4-time))

Super happy fun times
Welcome to post 5. If you are about to say "this isn't post 5 - this is post 8", then you are wrong, I'm afraid... It's actually post 5... Look, it just is...
If there is a post requiring special attention due to the fact it highlights the reasons for searching this thread before posting, then it will be drawn to attention here, in post 5 ()
Will give this a go as soon as my phone turns up from Vodafone UK...

thanks but what exactly is the differende between this and stock ROM, have you removed any stock apps, what tweaks is added and so on?

Cheers Pulser.
While it downloads, I'll get ADB ready for when I break it ;-)
Edit: Just to point out that the break comment is based on me having a certain knack at the moment for breaking stuff, and is an IRC joke

Pulser is being afk at the moment so give me a min to boot it and post.
Thanks - quick work! But as others say, a few more details would be appreciated
I'm definitely up for flashing this but a few extra details regarding the differences between this and the latest stock.
Congrats on being the first anyway,
Alright folks. I was off eating breakfast
This ROM is XWKE2, it's rooted, and it has the stock kernel. Unless you are developing or need something else, this kernel will do you fine, as the underlying ROM is rooted
It's fully deodexed, and I've resigned all the Samsung and stock applications with a new key-set, so that it's much easier to make modifications to the apps in future. Villain Tweaks was a project of mine to "test the water" for modifying the apps in the SGS 2 ROMs. I hit issues I couldn't get around, since the pre-installed apps were signed by Samsung.
This means that I can now edit the apps on the phone to apply all sorts of tweaks and "hacks", like the ones I've done so far, but with greater scope as to which files can be modified. For example, I've got a messaging app here (Mms.apk), which should let you send 10 SMS messages together without converting it to an MMS, and allow 200 recipients of an SMS, rather than ten.
But in order for me to release such changes (which a number of people were requesting), I need to have the signing keys used for the applications. So since it's a re-signed ROM, it's nice and easy to release tweaks.
So, tl;dr?
ROM itself is rooted
XWKE2 deodexed firmware
Re-signed to permit much greater scope for tweaks
Stock "touchwiz"
No bootsound
The fun starts once people are using this, and we can have more control over the ROM itself... I'll look at some more of my "to-do" things soon enough anyway, including enabling init.d on the stock kernel, and a few other things...
Nice work!

Yes, exactly the same process as installing a kernel from Chainfire, or a stock ROM. I'll take a screenie of what it will look like, though I don't have a phone connected to mine, so it might look a little different.

ok nice, is the camera tweaks already included? and would it wipe the device when flashing or do the apps I've installed still be there?

Hi everyone... here's my first crack at a custom ROM for the Xperia Play. And this is very beta. Once things get more solid, I'll make this first post a lot more proper. As it stands, this is for people who aren't worried about being on the edge.

CIFS/TUN kernel modules (untested)
Tons of SE default apps removed, including Whatsapp, Music Unlimited, Adobe Flash Player (market is far more up-to-date) and so much more.
Facebook deep integration removed, use FrAsErTaG's Facebook patch if you want it back - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140540
SuperCharger memory management and loopy smoothness tweaks
/data partition has lots of space free.
Data, SMS, MMS, Wifi, Home button, back button, Google Voice Navigation all working.
Installation instructions:
I've been trying to get a proper flashable update.zip which would include the DoomKernel, however I have been getting bootloops, so for now, installing consists of restoring a Nandroid backup. This, of course, requires a kernel with CWM recovery, so you must already have DoomKernel installed at the moment.
These instructions will get much more properly fleshed out later on.
Quick and dirty steps:
1) Enter Recovery menu with preflashed DoomKernel.
2) Wipe all userdata
3) Wipe all caches
4) Wipe Dalvik Cache
5) Install the zerorom zip from your SD card.
At this point, reboot and you should be booting into the ROM. There's a good chance you'll see the boot logo two or three times before it boots properly. This is normal and no reason to be alarmed. This is basically the dalvik2cache and zipalign scripts running.
CDMA Users:
Install with the same build as below. Follow the same instructions. As long as you have not wiped /system when you attempt to install zerorom, it will detect that you are running on CDMA. It checks this by going by what your /system/build.prop says. If that file does not exist, installation could fail.
Installation failure when /system is wiped before install:
If you are missing /system/build.prop, you could write the following into a text file: "ro.product.device = R800x" for CDMA users or "ro.product.device = R800i" for GSM users. Then push this file to /system/build.prop. Then restart installation and you should be good.

You should recruit Chevy to work on a CDMA version of your rom. He's becoming known for that.
Anyways, good luck.
I've been trying to get a proper flashable update.zip which would include the DoomKernel,

Don't go that way: in Sony's Xperia line for this year, kernels are not flasheable through recovery, because the recovery must be contained in the kernel. Thus, kernels must be flashed with fastboot, separate from the rest.

This looks good! its like all in one mod
I have most of the features though xD

Half the world uses that crap, so I can't blame him. I bet people would ***** if it was taken out.
Or did you mean something else?

Is there any source for this info?
As for Facebook, I'm looking deeper into how tied it is to the other apps. It's definitely something that will probably disappear soon.

If that helps you some, in my old system image GP2Xperia I made Facebook in its wholeness disappear from the phone. It's just a couple of apk's, nothing to be worried about. However, you may want to prepare a Facebook-adding update.zip just in case.

I removed it completely as a test (along with SE Syncing tools and their custom FB stuff) and found that simply installing FB from the market brings back most of what you'd get anyways, so it'll be removed from the next version. Liveware Manager will also be removed since it can just be installed from the market.

i said thank you (though not in those 2 words), gave the dev a thumbs up, and am currently running the rom to test it out and feed back to the dev any issues (if any) there may be in this package. i was just merely pointing out that in my eyes, fb is bloat and (to me) not as clean as i'd hoped.
so far it is a good rom, funcional, and a very good start for the devs first play attempt in a very limited custom rom world (for the play, at the moment), and i greatly look forward to future releases
v0.2 is in the middle of uploading. Sorry, no update.zip to update to the new version yet. I'll start creating those soon.
SE Sync, SE Facebook, Facebook, LiveWare all removed. Added rom name/version to build.prop.
EDIT: Done uploading, link: http://www.multiupload.com/3W86RKRKOM
My facebook patch will work fine

Greetings!
I have decide long enough and here i am, trying to build my own ROM and share with you guys.
I am still new in creating my ROM, yet i wanna challenge myself and try to have fun with it. To be honest, it is harder than i thought with no complete tutorial out there.
I am planning to start things slowly and learning as i go along. Thus, i start with the basic, modifying stock ROM, and de-odex them. Clear all the bloatware or what i think is not necessary.
Please take note this is just a trial. If you are interested, do try out, and let me know how or where i can improve. I am noob, please don't flame me.

Bugs:
Not everything is perfect, though i expected a perfect ROM to ease everyone. However, there are some minor bug i encounter. Not a big deal.
- Keyboard not poping up at the initial setup the ownership of the phone
solution: i realise it takes time for the ROM to load up the keyboard (maybe due to language change from netherland to english - united state issue). what i do is, i just press back and forward few time, and the keyboard will initially pop up. don't worry, it just happen the very first time android setup. no more issues after that.
- Messaging app cannot use
solution: i suspect this is Apex Launcher issues. just delete the dock bar Messaging shortcut. Drag and put the new Messaging app from app drawer and you are good to go.

thanks man! btw, is it legal to use theme provide here? can i use the mod they provide here? i scare i violate the rules or whatever copyright thingy.
U can use themes,apps and other mods from developers just ask their permission first and credit them in your op.
About supersu,you need to install(push) binary for it to work. Think it's binary is a xbin file, but not sure ask in chainfire thread.
anyways good luck with your project

thanks for your hints and advise. really appreciate it.
edit: i think i found the reason on why my custom ROM is not rooted. it seems like i am using stock ROM unrooted, that's why it is not rooted. base on my research, i just have to flash the stock ROM, root it, flash kernel and old bootloader. back up, and start cooking afterward. correct me if i am wrong.
anyway, gonna try it tomorrow. used almost full day in trial and error, at least i can flash and run my first trial.
Mj rom trial version 1.2 is here!

A big hello to everyone seems to be the right words to start with.
A couple of weeks ago i've decided to say goodbye to HTC after many years and got my hands on a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Running around with a stock version felt bad so i've started flashing custom roms within 2 hours after unboxing it. After flashing many of the custom roms i started working on a pesonal rom and started off with the DevBase by ALEXNDR and went on until i had a stable deodexed version with just those tiny changes to make my day. Now i think it's time to share the rom and find out what all of you think about it. Don`t forget i`m new to the world of Samsung and learning every single day, don`t expect high class development at first, it will get better as we roll.
Main goal of this thread and rom is to create a smooth and most of all stable rom that is friendly towards the battery, there's enought higly developed roms out there for those that seek all the extra`s for their daily driver. I will start providing flashable zips containing fixes, mods and add-ons once i get to know my way around the N4 and Samsungs way of buiding their roms.
Please read all the info posted in this thread before flashing! Make sure you know what you're doing just to be on the safe side. Before posting anything i have tested and flashed it many times but this doesn`t mean there is no risk involved in flashing my work. I'm not responsible for bricked devices or other issues you may face after flashing my work! Keep this in mind when you decide to flash anything provided in this thread.
Changelog between ALEXANDR's DevBase BOD2 and Project N4 B1.1:
- Fully Deodexed
- Added 5 way Reboot options
- pushed device overall volume a little less compared to B1.0
- Added Modded Camera
- Added Modded Telecom.apk removing ascending ringtone volume
- Cleaned the app list without loosing functionality
- Added Latest AdBlocking hosts file
- Added Memory Leak Fix ( thanks to robocik )
Note:
You'll need the latest modem and bootloader files to run this rom, if you`re running the wrong versions you`ll end up in a bootloop! The proper modem and bootloader files can be found in the download folder along with the Rom zip. I trust you all know how to use Odin in order to flash them
Changelog between ALEXANDR's DevBase BOC5 and Project N4 B1.0:
- Fully Deodexed
- Added 5 way Reboot options
- pushed device overall volume
- Cleaned the app list without loosing functionality
- Added Latest AdBlocking hosts file
- Added Memory Leak Fix ( thanks to robocik )
None as far as i know, so please share if you find one.
Always make sure you're running latest bootloader and modem before flashing this rom to prevent bootloop.
Also make sure you're running latest TWRP of CWM recovery.
Download the rom zip file and check MD5 checksum.
Copy the rom zip file to your (ext.) storage.
Reboot in to recovery and flash the rom zip file.
When flashing is done reboot your device and wait patiently untill the boot finishes ( This can take a while ).
When you're on stock before flashing this no wipe is needed for a safe flash, if you're running a different rom
or when you do run in to trouble a wipe in recovery will save your day,

@LeeDroid just for being my friend, tutor and master in development.
@The Great Dane for becomming my friend and putting up with me even in the darkers hours. Thank you for seeing the things the way i see them and backing me up in times of need!
Since this is based on ALEXANDR DevBase all additional options also go for this rom. Visit his thread and thank him for his hard work! Below i copy/pasted the additional features ( i know i`m lazy ) hoping he won`t mind. Please let me know if you do mind my lazyness so i can remove the text below.
Additional info that comes with this ALEXNDR.N910FXXU1BOC5 based rom:
1. Base:
- Multi CSC (list of natively supported CSC as above) (*)
- Removed KNOX (apps, agent, container, etc..)
- Rooted (SuperSU 2.46 app + binary), BusyBox 1.23.1
- Odexed (original, untouched framework & apps)
- All original features are present and works
- Able to write to extSdCard by all applications
- No visual changes (100% stock look)
- Stock kernel
- Safe De-Bloated (more info below)What does it mean and why is it called "safe"?
- ONLY apps available in stores are removed from DevBase, so you can easy (re)install any of these app if you like
- ONLY pre-installed system apps are removed, DevBase installer never touch any updated app nor app installed manually from store
Thus, the following conclusions can be drawn:
1. If you install my DevBase directly over stock ROM without performing "Wipe data" - in most cases almost all these apps will remain untouched, because almost all apps have been updated already (stored on /data). But then you will be able to remove any useless app using the "Application manager", like any other app. Removed manually app will not appear again until you use my DevBase while updating.
2. If you perform "Wipe data" while installing my DevBase - then all apps listed below will be removed. If you would like to use any of these apps - just install it manually from appropriate store. Installed manually app will not be removed during the next DevBase update.
Removed apps list:
Chrome
Drive
Dropbox
Evernote
Facebook
FB Messenger
FB Pages Manager
Flipboard
Google+ / Photos
Hangouts
Instagram
PEN.UP
Play Books
Play Games
Play Movies
Play Music
Play Newsstand
Smart Remote
WhatsApp
2. Init.d Support (*):
- Init.d support without need of use custom kernel (details)
3. CscFeature MOD (*) (enabled some built-in, hidden features):
- Added shutter sound menu in Camera
- Sending/receiving MMS without data on
- Added "Exit Internet" option to stock browser
- Added call button in Phone Logs
- Added "Call/Message block" option in Settings
- Added symbols as secondary keys in Samsung keyboard
- Call Recording (manual control, added "Record" button)
(*) - these options can be controlled by editing options.prop file (you can find such file in ZIP's root directory). Just place modified options.prop file (use e.g. Notepad++ to edit) in the root directory of internal emulated scdard (/data/media/0) or extSdCard (recommended if you plan to format internal emulated sdcard) and then start the installation.
Footnote:
After being around in the HTC corners of XDA it`s very nice to find out how kind the developers are within the Note 4 section of our beloved forums! Didn`t expect to meet so many nice people after having my share of "*****fights" in the HTC section. I do hope to make some new friends on this side, and will never forget the few friends that sticked with me in the HTC section.

If only I could, HTC features all hang on HTC Framework and Launcher so I don't think we've got much chance of porting it to the Note 4.

I will as soon as I update the rom, still hoping to get some feedback to find out if the rom is also stable and smooth for others.
Thanks for your great job!
Could you please add volume buttons skip tracks function?
I think that would be amazing, nobody did it until now and it's something very useful.
Cheers.

I will do my best, if this was a request on the one M8 or M9 it would be no problem at all, being new to Samsung means i have to find my way around so no promises.
Thanks for quick reply , it's only suggestion, take your time, i only say it would be great.

Thanks for your feedback, i`m glad it worked out for you.
Currently uploading the latest BOD2 based version, guess i should have waited one day before going public. If Samsung stays away from another update in the near future i will find some time to start working on flashable MOD zips.
Edit:

oZoP Development Projects are on the way!!!
I know development for this device has almost come to a stop and I want to make it clear,
LG v20 DEVELOPMENT IS ALIVE and FAR FROM DEAD!!!
Trust me, when you start playing with oZoP projects you will understand...
It may take me a long time for initial releases and I don't post updates weekly or for that matter even monthly, I build my projects for Final version ready!!
You've already seen my Aroma Boot/Shutdown animation project.
This is the second installment, just another of many sections that will be available in my full oZoP Aroma zip, hence the project Title
ONE ZIP ONE PLACE
System Transition Animations mod
By flashing this zip you will be given a bunch of choices for different system animation style for screen/window transitions, keyboard/toast views and many others. You will get an additional option to tweak a little for unique styles!!
So I give you this, UNIVERSAL for MOST devices Aroma installer to give users the option for different choices!
This zip will work for MOST device running ANY Rom with ANY version Android 5.0+!
How to use the ozop-restore.zip to revert/recovery quickly without the need to restore or reinstall the whole Rom:
And just to be safe, I have included in my scripts and files a method that will create a flashable restore zip of your files before the mods does its thing!
The restore zip will be inside the new "ozop" folder that has been created and the zip is named "ozop-restore.zip"
If something doesn't play nice, just flash the zip and you'll be back to the way it was before you flashed the mod
NOTE: the script will delete any existing restore zips EVERY TIME you flash a new option, meaning that if you flash the mod again, your original system files will be replace with the file you flash previously!
If you want to have a permanent back up of the original file, you will need to rename the zip inside the ozop folder to whatever, just can't have the same name or it gets replaces everything you flash the mod
BUG REPORT:
Code:
MIUI choice causing boot issues for some users (works fine for me), so be prepared to you the restore.zip if needed. Will look into a fix for future releases
Report bug properly to get my support
Of course there are many way to properly report bugs and ALL of these ways have one thing in common, THEY ALL REQUIRE VERY DETAILED NOTES of the issue!
I'm moy goimg to go deep into how detailed you could get because lets face it, most people that report improperly are the ones who don't read and probably are going to read this! HaHaHa...
To get support from me I only ask for some simple things
1. What device, and rom you are running
2. What is the issue (no boot, fc everywhere, fc only certain app etc...)
3. Which option did you select
4. Did you get the install log
5. Did you use the restore.zip option to get back running
6. Do other choices share the same effect
That looks like a lot, but it really is the minimum amout of info need to troubleshoot!
Provide me that and I'll do my best to fix things and make this fun for everyone.
If you post things like
"Doesn't work", "bootloop" or anyone other similar post that have no value and help development is no way, actually these kinds of post only put development behind amd slow progress die the fact that anyone who cam help has to waste their time reading it!
If these kind of post ever come up, its best to ignore the lazy person and not clog the thread with flaming replies as that too slows development!
Anyway, I don't expect there to be many if any bugs! Been tested by myself and confirmed with users of this device!
Now grab the download and enjoy!

Deep Sleep Fix possibly... This worked for me, but not confirmed from others yet?
Steps I took to fix deepsleep are as follows;
1. Flash kernel (which means the need to flash root method (magick or supersu)
2. Flash attatched deepsleep fix
3. If its not already fixed reboot one more time.
Resource post
This is a quick tutorial to making a flashable zip of
Part 1 - Complete (compiled) files and
Screen Recording of the quick simple steps
Quick guide with detailed steps below
1. Download and extract the template file attatched below
2. Copy the file/files from your system using file manager of your choice
3. Paste the file/files to the "system" folder of the exctracted template folder (make sure the file path and names match EXACTLY as they are in your phones system)
4. Archive to "zip" the 4 folders in the template work area (data, META-INF, system and vrtheme)
You have now created a flashable zip which can be used to restore your files if and when you need. Just reboot to recovery and flash the zip.
Detailed step of of the above.
First is to download the attachment and extract everything to a location on your phone which is were you will be working.
The process is very simple
Basically you need to copy the location and folder directories of the file of which you want to make the backup.
Apk path as shown from Tib
Example, you want to create a flashable backup of the stock launcher.
Locate the file in the system (if you don't know the location there are apps in the Playstore that can assist with this)
Most files you would work with would be in system/app, system/priv-app or framework.
This example we are looking for the LGHome files. Using Titanium Backup I was able to locate the path of the files which is in system/priv-app/LGHome.
You will want to copy the main folder (LGHome) and all the contents within.
Now you will want to open the work area with the extracted files from my template.
You will be working in the folder labeled "system" (vrtheme instructions will be added later for more features)
The MOST IMPORTANT detail is that you copy the path with all folders and files being spelled the EXACT SAME, punctuation does matter you must match to exactly!
Since the "system" folder is already there, you will only need to create a new folder names "priv-app" now inside that folder you will add the LGHome folder and files it contains.
Do this same process for anything else you need.
Now that the folder and files have been added to the exact same location and are named the exact same you can archive the files as a zip.
You want to highlight the data, META-INF, system and vrtheme folder and then using the app of your choice (I use Root Explorer or Solid Explorer) hit archive and create the zip.
Now you can move the new zip to a convenient spot for easy flashing or leave it where it is, just as long as you know where it is and how to get to it from TWRP.
Now you have successfully created a flashable zip backup and can make changes as you wish. All you have to do it you run across problems is reboot to recovery and flash the backup zip you just made.
Part 2 - Injecting individual files with automated back-up flashable restore zip, the injectable files include images, xml, classes.dex amd resources.arsc
Vrtheme_template_includes_chrome_navbar_iOS_signalbars
Optimize Snapdragon 820 fixed version I only made this zip as per request. The mod file is not mine. I only added Aroma support for backup/restore and push the mod file.
The original thread is here
Good luck and happy experimenting!
Thanks OP. Will play around with this tomorrow!

Thank you for reporting, but I will need to update the OP it looks like. Apparently this only plays nicely with "Stock" based roms!
Just so I cam be sure of this, can you tell me which option you selected? Or if you did multiple (hopefully yoivread the OP section for "using the restore zip" because the restore zip only stays current to the previous flash, meaning unless you backed up the original restore zip after your first selection, it will get overridden everytime to flash a new selections which, unless you backed up the first one, would be placing the messed up files into the restore zip when changed to different style.)
Anyway
The OP is updated with link to fixed version 1a.
If there are other issues, PLEASE GIVE ME DETAIL ABOUT AS MUCH STUFF AS POSSIBLE AND MAKE SURE TO CLICL "YES" FOR INSTALL LOG TO UPLOAD FOR MY TO STUDY,
Thanks everyone

I can't remember that one, now I gotta change just so I can see!
I've meant to make a quick screen recording of each option, but it takes too long and I've got too many other things going on! Hint, hint anyone...
If anyone can just create the screen recordings, i will edit and convert for thread sharing.

Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes when the animations get changed, they need to settle in a bit. Then they get smoother, not always though. Play with animation speed in dev options to fine tune.
As for the InCallUI mods, I'm still waiting for feedback...
I don't want to post something that won't be compatible with peoples setups. Once I get some more feedback from users running other devices, I'll create a thread for the mod.
It can always wait until the full oZoP is ready..

Using missing links animations
Very cool stuff! Using missing link and loving it! Would be nice if we can have a preview of them all so we know what we're flashing prior too. Thanks for your work and sharing this..
I appreciate all the feedback and kind comments! Thank you all.
With the interest level I've seen here and the initial compatibility issue, I been putting in some extra work to get things cleaned up, looking nice and running smooth so when the full oZoP is ready it all comes together nicely!
That being said, I've updated the OP with a new version 1.1. Its not really much the average users will notice, just some script stuff, a couple of different things with drvice info in Aroma recovery tool and added more device support.
Nothing new with the actual animation so update if you choose.
I made this mods yrs ago and have been porting for devices along the way and it always is mentioned that previews would be nice and I've alwats agreed!
The thing is, probably are starting to get the idea what oZoP is by now...
With that said, this mod is one very small part of 1 sections of the full oZoP!
The thing with these previews for the full system animations is that there are a lot of views and behaviors to try and capture for a quick preview.
Then we start editing the recording to prepare the video to be converted so it can be shared directly in the thread.
All this takes a good amount of time and I simply have to many other things to work in the project and real life of course...
I have asked several times over the yrs, that is we all want to have previews could we team up some users and myself to make it happen, but unfortunately nobody has stepped up and offerd to help which is where we are now...
I have made some VERY short, very quick previews of just a couple of animations to try and help you guys out.
I will try to add more short previews as I find time, but that's the best I can offer being a one man crew...
PREVIEWS:
Note: these are just very quick runs and don't cover all of the various transitions, but you kindof get the idea...

I attempted both full system and partial. I used the MIUI and Stock options. Don't worry, my device is working fine.
Flashed ios animation through the very nice and entertaining aroma on my h918 running MEGAROM v5. Very happy!! Great job! Much better than stock that's for sure!

Do you have any issues with 10k modified? Like Bluetooth or anything?
Does the battery last on that kernel ?
What exactly is modified about it ?
I'd like to try it if it's running smoothly .
