Please help.
Is there anywhere in this forum that gives a simple explanation as to what each Rom does and what are the advantages that they give if you flash them?
I've looked through the development forum and there isn't much information given for a newbie like myself that wants to try romming my s3, well if there is I can't really find it cause each topic about the roms I've read don't exactly say what they do.
It would be great if there was a list explaining all the roms with links to each one and why they'd be useful.
Forgive me if this post seems silly and there is such a topic and I'm just babbling on cause I've looked and have no idea which Rom would come in handy for me cause I'm completely lost.
I'm amazed at what these android phones can do but really really lost and want to learn and maybe make my own themes as I'm a digital artist and would love to make original themes that people would like, but that's another thing I'll learn about in time.
For now I'd love to learn about roms.
Guess I'll try to figure it out myself, ah well I'll get there....
Can't say that there is a thread for what you are looking for but I can say it doesnt hurt to just try them. See which works best for what you are doing and wanting. It is very subjective.
I personally make use of omega and love it

Well I think there's a sticky somewhere in the forum listing all the roms for i9300.
They generally give description of what they offer, but generally sammy based roms rids any bloatware, adds in their tweaks, whereas aosp based roms are missing the sammy functions.
I suggest you have a go at each rom. Just do a nand backup of original and flash the different roms. Doesn't really take that long.

Hi,
If you are too newbie to understand what each ROM does or not... don't flash anything, keep your stock ROM.
Read the OP (the first post of the thread) of each ROM and read the descriptions, features, changelog... if there anything you don't understand... maybe Google can help you...
You need to learn a little by yourself... and right, I agree, try som ROM by yourself, test, see, etc... you'll see faster by yourself than asking here wich ROM have this or that or don't have this or that, do this or that or don't do this or that, etc... and no, there is not a stickie wich explain each ROM function, feature, etc...(it's in the OP of each ROM->READ or wich ROM is made for you, we are on XDA developpers... (!?!).
Test, test, test... and test (after reading) by yourself, it's how you'll learn. Backup your current ROM, flash, test then if you are not happy... flash another ROM, test... etc....
But since you you opened a thread... maybe a specific term or feature you don't understand?
I hope this thread will not going to finish in a "wich is the best ROM" thread...

Thanks for your replies, not much of a learning curve in here for people that really want to learn and the explanations on the first page of each thread doesn't really give a good description of what they do.
I'm all for these roms and think it's great that the developers here can take something and improve on it to give it better performance and have something for everyone.
It wouldn't really hurt though if there was such a thread that each developer of their roms could give a small description of what they do, it would be a very helpful thread and would cut down on people bricking or messing up their mobiles.
Really think a thread like this is needed here, well it's just a suggestion.
I've been to each thread and read what it says but can't really find easy to read descriptions anywhere.
Think I'll try the omega as that's been mentioned twice to me so must be good.
Anyways I think the developers here do amazing things to android phones and it's opened up a new world to me which I really want to be part of.
Good day to you

Rom is Deodexed + Rooted + Zipaligned
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All is detailed and explained, right? If there is something you don't understand... Google-it or ask here for a specific term... You realy need to search and read a little by yourself... If we have to explain each lines...
I agree for a newbie, maybe, deodexed or zipaligned is not very evident... but... Google is your friend
The devs explain the features of their ROM (like a kernel) but it's also to the user to make an effort in reading, searching, understanding and learning (a minimum). The devs can't be behind each user to explain everything to them and teach them or to flash their ROM in place of the user because the user know nothing or he won't read and search. There are other members to help of course, but there is also a responsibility of the user...
Its been said for any flashing if you cannot understand the very basics like read and search then you are likely to brick your phone .
Every rom has details in the first and second posts as shown above .
jje
Yeah you're right I'm so used to symbian and using software and firmware which wasn't open as much as android is and when I first visited the developers section was a bit overwhelmed by it all, had my phone not even 3 weeks and learned about rooting, changing firmware, modifying games and now onto roms.
Will read up on Google what things like bloatware and kernel means.
Was interested in a Rom that allows to use my external to add apps and something with better battery performance.
I'll learn in time, bit cautious about adding roms cause of deleting all my data cause last time I tried nandroid I couldn't get all my data back it didn't work and when tried to get back my sd data from the toolkit the data went back but none of the apps showed up and it said that I had used memory putting it there.
I'm not going to install any roms till I get a better understanding of them, I like to learn about things before jumping in.

Re,
This! Very good thought
You'll see that with all good reading you get there and you will learn mostly , a bit of search and you're good to go!
In any case, if you do not understand some specific terms, there will always be someone to answer you here, I mean here in your thread...
So is nandroid best for backing up my phone before I have a go at roms and does it save ALL my apps and data cause this information I couldn't find on Google wasn't very specific what it backs up
Re,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927113 , needs to read but it's usefull
Yes a Nandroid backup is like an "image" in windows, total back-up except modem and internal/external SD Card (****!, don't remember for the kernel, I think no, need confirmation). All is like at the moment when you do the back-up (apps, settings, SMS, data apps, etc...).
According you're rooted...
I hope I forgot nothing...
EDIT: like slaphead20 said, I totaly agree (but don't speak him about efs: too early, hum I'm just kidding, it's the right way, maily about the efs folder), in nay case Nandroid back-up first, it will save you if something goes wrong...

Yes it is, and if things go wrong you will restore your phone to the exact point you backed it up.
Use k tools(play store) to back up your efs, and copy that to pc.
You have the right attitude, take your time and learn, don't be afraid to ask......I lurked on XDA for 3 months before even joining!
Enjoy and all the best, any questions you can also try asking over in the general thread in general, it's a safe place to ask anything, but do try and find solutions first with search
Thanks for the links and help, now got to Google what ef's is.
So much to learn, rooted two days after getting my phone was quite simple I'm a very quick learner if the information is there.
Re,
About efs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
Hum, maybe a little hard... (Verizon or International version, the princip is the same).
EDIT: a toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
I know, I know it's not the right way to learn but...
EDIT 2: you're rooted, you have done the most important!
Thank you, I'll read up on all that cause it will come in very handy.
I've run out of giving thanks for useful replies cause I was only allowed 8 apparently, not allowed to be over generous here.

PROJECT COMPLETED 100% - NO MORE OFFICIAL UPDATES!
Guys, unfortunately this is my last project. I have something called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and my doctor said it will back (now I'm healthy) if I will use my hands like before. Maybe my development won't end forever, but my project like ROM ends 100% - lately I don't have much time on working on new projects like before - my study, my private life, much more other things. I met here lot of awesome people, and I won't leave you after this project will be full relased - my support should be long, and we will talk like before . Please respect my decision, and for now, just read this thread, cause this is what some of you waiting for . Don't think about my departure for now .

So let's go, a little text before we start everything. I want to say big Thank You for all Developers, which help me in the past, all people who are with me, all fans, all haters p), and just.... everyone. XDA community here is one of the best, I've learned a lot in my "carrier" and I think it was great journey, with lots of smile, lots of bugs and force closes, tooo muuuch code and scripts, and any other awesome things inside Android platform. I don't want to call anyone from name/nick (but you know best guys here of course, and I don't need to show they ^^), beacuse everyone made some nice features for our X10 devices, all of us have something to glorify themselves. Sooo....Thanks again for everyone.
Some news was on DX7 thread before, but I don't want give you links for every post, I will just write them all here, with much more correct info:
My ROM (version S-Style and Light) based on Semc Debrand Engine (thanks for Achotjan, without him those version won't even relased )
[*]Gaming and Stock-based has other sources.
There are 4 version of my last ROM - S-Style, Light, Gaming and Stock-based with possible 2.6.32.9 Kernel (we will see how development in KTG Team goes).
Every version have other destiny - and You are the person, who choose one!
I don't know what to say more - read words under and you will know all!
Based on CM7 Android 2.3.7 or Android 2.3.4 without CM.
Mobile Bravia Engine.
xLoud.
Playstation Certificate.
Timescape.
Facebook & Twitter (and mooore).
Track ID.
Music in lockscreen (and changing it with volume control buttons)
Walkman music app from ICS update for Xperia NXT (big thanks for w4lkm4n ).
Xperia Sola Keyboard (with voice options).
KGSL Drivers (at least in S-Style, Light and Gaming). UPDATE: In Stock-based version we have it "partly", read more if you want.
Create Yourself ™ - my own idea. You've seen this in all DiXperias - it's something like "you choose stuff and version you like, and if you need something, you just apply this like extra file. No need to delete tons of apps you don't using and won't" - it's simple, fast, and has potential .
Different themes, depends on version of ROM (see screenshots), Xperia S like, more brightness, some Gaming crazy .
Apps and firmware taken from Xperia S stuff, ports etc. (music, lockscreen, widgets, home, font etc.).
Scripts, tricks, tweaks - they promise lot of fun, lot of performance and lot of stability ^^.
I think it's enough but you know it's not everything - I'm sure I missed a lot of features, but it's up to you to test it yourself if you really want to using this ROM.
To don't make mess in this post I will update info about next screenshots, when it will be published. For now:
S-Style version -> CLICK
Light version -> CLICK
Gaming version -> No way to get this, cause of XDA rules about donation form. I'm terribly sorry that I didn't know about it, cause other Devs have their own donation options, and sorry again for ToledoJab, and thanks for clarify this situation . In short - DX8 Gaming version is NOT AVAILABLE AND WON'T BE.
Stock-based version -> CLICK
Now, it depends on which version you'll choose:
S-Style, Light, Gaming:
- Of course Root + Busybox.
- Unlocked Bootloader - that's why Stock-based version appear too .
- Required Kernel (look on Download).
- CWM Recovery.
- Baseband from official Android 2.3.3.
Stock-based:
- Of course Root + Busybox.
- Locked or Unlocked Bootloader.
- Stock SE official Kernel from official 2.3.3 (in ROM there is pre-installed Custom).
- xRecovery (should be 0.3).
- Flash through 2.3.3 based ROM - can be Stock, can be some Custom, no matter, important is baseband.
Depends on version too, like requirments:
S-Style, Light, Gaming:
- Download ROM (+ optional addons) and put it on your SD Card.
- Flash correct Kernel through FlashTool (.ftf file).
- Go to CWM Recovery and make Full Wipe and Wipe Cache, then clean your Dalvik, fix Battery and Fix Permissions.
- Choose .zip to flash and select my ROM. Wait...
- Done! Reboot and feel free to use this!
Stock-based:
- Download ROM (+ optional addons) and put it on your SD Card.
- Go to xRecovery and make Factory Reset, Wipe Cache Partition, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Battery Stats and Fix Permissions.
- Choose Install Custom Zip and select my ROM. Wait...
- Done! Reboot and feel free to use this!
DiXperia 8 'eXtraordinary' - S-Style version ~ |Beautiful|
DiXperia 8 'eXtraordinary' - Light version ~ |Simple|
DiXperia 8 'eXtraordinary' - Gaming version ~ No way to get this, cause of XDA rules about donation form. I'm terribly sorry that I didn't know about it, cause other Devs have their own donation options, and sorry again for ToledoJab, and thanks for clarify this situation . In short - DX8 Gaming version is NOT AVAILABLE AND WON'T BE.
DiXperia 8 'eXtraordinary' - Stock-based version ~ |Stable|
Golden-Suggestion -> If you like my work and you are using it right now, please glorify it on your signature with this graphic:
Golden-Suggestion #2 -> I want this thread clean best possible. Of course you can write here anything is connected with DX8 project, you can write some reviews, write about bugs if you find some which was not posted before, give link for some videopresentation if you made some, screenshots and more, more. But please - if you want thanks to me or anyone, click THANKS button, or if you want write some "little-offtop" go to Discussion Thread(thanks to Lakshay, ddddanger and all guys who will help them in support of my ROM ), where you can talk about everything, not DX8 only ^^.
S-Style, Light, Gaming:
- To get Xperia-theme-like lockscreen go to CM Settings, choose lockscreen options and select the first one.
- If you want Xperia Sola Keyboard first you need to open Stock keyboard, and configure it a little (do you want help or auto-correct etc.). Then just flash required addon and here you go ^^.
- Don't use any backup!
- After flash my system give it few hours for better stability and ~one day for applicate all scripts/tweaks/tricks.
- Flash every addon separately.
- Simple, but no one understand it. If you want to have better battery life just decrase brightness.
- If you have any problems with standard apps like FC in music, not working Clean Bass option, not showing notifications in lockscreen or FC in conversations - reflash ROM, don't forget to fix permissions and after few hours of using reboot few times. Should help.
Stock-based:
- Don't use any backup!
- After flash my system give it few hours for better stability and ~one day for applicate all scripts/tweaks/tricks.

-In my opinion, interactiveX, and frequency of CPU 384-1152MHz gives awesome stability and performance .
USING S-STYLE and LIGHT VERSIONS
Hi all,
As the winner of the contest held by DiKeJ, I got my hands on the S-Style and the Light versions of the ROM before all of you
So HERE'S the review for both the roms.
Further discussions and questions about the rom in the DiXperia8 Discussion Thread please. I won't answer any of the questions asked here.
Please try and keep the development thread clean.
Thanks !
Now, on first page, you see relase dates for upcoming S-Style and Light versions. Sorry for long waiting - it's the fastest date to get those ROMs, me and Lakshay trying to fix every bug or FC and make it fastest. Take care everyone.
First screenshots from DiXperia 8 - Gaming version (not even beta, but theme is 60% done):
Guys, I have some news for you:
-We have Walkman ICS new apk working from new Xperias (but not exactly -> it's modded style based on Xperia S music player - but you will feel like Walkman, so I can name it that way ) Will be as addon, cause my ROMs (S-Style, Light) was already uploaded, just need to relase it, date is in first post.
-There is possible fix for camera - as my ROM is based on some SDE sources (thanks to Achotjan) - we should create correct fix after relase for everyone who needs working camera, but don't need KGSL (we can't apply full KGSL inside Stock Kernel, that's why). More info about it soon, maybe until that we will make some progress.
-Gaming version is 60% done. Theme is ready 100%, scripts are good now, I need to only test some games, and apply many possible tweaks to increase gaming experience for this ROM.
Fingers crossed guys!

It seems i'm the first one testint it (besides premium users) well, how can i star? fast......fast as hell, is the fastest i've ever tried, even in startup, but.... i had a problem when installing, i followed all the steps given by Dike, but, i couldn't fix permissions, why? because i couldn't find it in cwm options, so, i skip that step, everything seems to be alright, my first problem was that the phone didn't recognize my sim card, i rebooted few times and nothing got solved, i use flashtool to flash cwm recovery, i thought that maybe some files were missing, the same, no fix permissions option, well i had to unplugged and replugged my sim card en magically the problem was solve
about speed, is too fast through options and screens, i loved the new lockscreen and the animations. the theme is kinda shiny for me but is cool dike, yo did a great job, i can use to it
i only have a couple of hours with this rom, i didn't flash any addon yet, because dike instructions i'll have to wait. i don't like too much the battery icon but is not big deal
i came from donut hd, unlocked bl, doomkernel ov to 1113. i'll try this rom for a while, i always loved dike's roms
RECOMENDED.....A LOOOOOOT TRY IT RIGHT KNOW
thank you Dike =) as always, an awesome job =) have a nice day dike, and i'm so sorry about your medical condition, i hope you get well as soon as possible,

Well i dont know what happened about my sim card, like i said i came from donut hd, i have a lot of experience flashing roms, but doesnt matter the important is that is solved, about fix permissions i never saw that option in cwm rec, i searched in every menu, it must be in "advanced" right? Like in xrec, but it wasnt there, i had to use rom manager to fix permissions. I had a problem with camera, when i get into the scene mode options and set night or nocturnal (i dont know how is written in english versions) it gives me fc, i wasnst even able to open camera again i tried fixing permissions, restarting device, clearing data, the only solution was reinstall rom and never use that feature again haha

The "FIX PERMISSIONS THING", you have to do it through the rom manager.
danniehayabusa Never had such kind of bug. Which kernel are you using ? The one provided with the rom ?
1eyedmonster You will have to check that out yourself mate !
IF YOU WANT THE ROM TO WORK PERFECTLY, YOU HAVE TO FLASH THE KERNEL PROVIDED BY DiKeJ. I HAVE TESTED THE ROM ON OTHER KERNELS TOO, BUT FOR THE ROM TO WORK PERFECTLY YOU HAVE TO FLASH THE KERNEL PROVIDED. THANKS !
hm?
Premium Users only? whats that about?
Great ROM , was waiting for it since announcement

Great speed & great work Dikej
Now for the bugs or fc's
Currently I have experienced 2 so far after checking each app & their respective settings as well as the system settings..
1. The messaging settings force close as mentioned above, I can confirm that
2. Cyanogenmod settings>Interface>Notification Power Widget>Widget Buttons, go a little down and then tap on Brightness modes == Force close
The brightness button in status bar does work though, only due to this force close you can't choose the brightness levels to be toggled
Try share with us, Quadrant final screen shoot test with Your game version!

I have taken it upon myself to port some good stuff over to our phone and thread. I hope to learn some things about apk modding and theming along with bringing some good mods that work on our phone to attention.These are originally done by other members and I take no credit beyond testing them and fixing any bugs needed for the port. I have made this thread to bring attention to the great mods/ports that will work on the Xperia S
There are some other threads on other forums for this (which is where I got my info), but I thought I would make a new thread on our forum to help people out and let them know it is working, and the way I installed it since there are several different methods.
original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
Here is how you install it.
download this if you have changed google search to something other than google-----> http://www.mediafire.com/?pbq5pou3in4mbsr
download this------->http://www.mediafire.com/?puszwfokw3d999u
flash the first one in CWM (only if you have changed the default search)
Reboot
flash the second in CWM.
Reboot
If there are any problems it could be root permissions, but it should work by default

Sometimes the links are hard to click

Hi
Just installed Neat rom 8 stock version 'light'. Everything seems to be working well. The only (very minor) issue is that the samsung keyboard differs from the original stock 4.3 one in that it doesn't show a selection of words to choose underneath, as you type.. The only option seems to be for it to actually make it's own changes as you type, which I hate.
Is there any way to get the original stock keyboard back?
TIA
EDIT: Anyone home? Been directed to this Q&A section because I have less than 10 posts. What's the point if there's nobody around?
You forget to tick language file option in aroma
Hi. When you say 'aroma', do you mean the list of samsung/ google apps presented when you install neatrom 8? There wasn't a language file option when doing the install. Or is Aroma a separate thing to install (that's not included when you install neatrom)?
Anyhow, looking again at Sale's first post , I think he has used the Note 3 keyboard instead of the stock S3 one. That's probably why the keyboard doesn't have suggestions underneath when you type (looks identical other than that).
So need to find some way to install S3 keyboard. Any suggestions? .TIA
Aroma is the choice of what you want to install
Keyboard to select the aroma or flash via cwm

NeatRom v8.0 (4.3) Samsung Galaxy S3 Bug
Hi guys,
I report some errors that I noticed. (Firmware: I9300XXUGNH4 NeatROM v8.0 (4.3))
The internet explorer icon is duplicated when you activate the Framework in Xposed installer.
In Settings/ Control NeatRom / General Mods / Screen Off Animations, the options are reversed.
After a few reboot, the problem goes away.
Can you check?
Can you add the screen off option through double-tap on the screen?
Thanks for the your work. :good:

It's not about xposed framework, one is stock sammy browser from s3, the bottom left icon, and the upper right is browser from Note3, which adds support for eyescroll etc. because these features don't work with s3 browser.
Cheers
any others theme compatible with neatrom lite 4.8?
Thanks Dev for this beautiful rom, but why there are two internet browser?? can you explain this ... & how can i delete one or use one ....?
Is it me or 8.0 just ruined the memory?
I get redraw after redraw, the memory management is awful.
Should I do a fresh install or go for early release?
It's so frustrating.
BTW I use this ROM for months and never got this problem.

You're lucky.
After 8 months on neatrom I decided that is time to move forward cause of the stupid memory management.
Now I'm using cm11 and the memory management is amazing. ?
Neatroam v8.2 on my device no lags and fc's but voice command not working. Internet is fast when connected to wifi. But scr recorder slow on recording. Screencast not working. I cant demo my fon but this rom is very nice! Battery is consuming 12% per hour on wifi and web browsing, non stop online gaming 2-3 hours overall this rom is way better than other roms out there!
btw I used boeffla kernel
Quetion: why I cant flash your jb 4.1.2 and 4.2 version? But I successfully flash 4.3 v8.2
is it just me?
SIM relock
Im on stock 4.1 and unlocked SIM with root method (not with unlock code).Will this rom relock my SIM and is it possible to unlock sim on 4.3 ?
Request
Hi,
Is it possible to add Flashlight Toggle for NeatRomLite 4.3?
smart network doesn't work, it doesn't turn off wifi or mobile data when screen is off
press volume up to turn on torch also doesn't work all the time, happened to me twice but i don't know what caused it to get bugged
short interruptions while listening to music, sometimes more, sometimes less, usually gets fixed with a restart
adobe flash player doesn't always install when i install the rom, happens with lite and extra lite, i haven't tried the full bloatware option
i think you should add the default music player to lite edition since it breaks the clock, you can't chose a custom clock sound without it
when you open "neatrom update" for the first time it crashes, it doesn't crash after that anymore
these are all the bugs i had found after a month of daily use, i'm really happy with it, thank you very much for this rom, some lag now and then (because of limited ram?) but otherwise it is close to perfection
Possible link S3_aromaMods_v3
Thank you very much

.::IMPORTANT PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!::.
First: Before you start questioning and posting here, please do understand that you need to carefully read all these instruction below, not just first post (OP), but following several posts (#2,#3, #4, etc.) these posts are also part of this OP post. It is very very critical to read and have clear understanding how version of this ROM works, and how it can be customized, failure to not read all the instructions and not able to follow, you will get lost, most likely you will soft-brick your device.
Second: This is fully deodexed, pre-rooted with SuperSU included, KNOXless Stock Touchwiz ROM. If you looking for debloated 5.1.1 ROM, you may check @Zaphodspeaks 's ROM thread for debloated Stock Touchwiz 5.1.1 ROM if that's your thing. This ROM comes several ported apps from Galaxy Tab S2 and Galaxy Tab A. All these apps ported from their lollipop firmwares, ported, re-sized to fit our screen, and done many modifications all the way down to app smali files.
And lastly: Just because I put out a ROM here in Galaxy Tab 4 ROM thread, it does NOT mean I am your full-time tech support. Remember that this is provided as free of use, and if you are taking a custom ROM, Devs assume that you know what you are doing and have basic knowledge of doing so. Needless to say, if your tablet still under warranty, flashing custom ROMs voids your warranty. XDA is community driven forum, if you stuck, you can always ask here, and also using search box in XDA is your best friend.
Now the fun part

.::INSTALL INSTRUCTION (CLEAN INSTALL)::.
Even if you are on V2.1, For V3.X, Full Wipe is still OBLIGATORY for proper installation! No dirty flash over v2.1!!
*Warning!: You need to follow these instruction step by step, if you do NOT, you will have problem!*
1. First thing first; Have you made full nandroid backup yet? if not, this is very good time to do it now.
2. Download JazzROM For Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (5.1.1) [SM-T330NU] to your device's internal or microSD card that you can easily find it for flashing later on.
3. Reboot into PhilzTouch CWM Recovery
4. Do Factory Reset first in PhilzTouch recovery, and then also do the " install new ROM" option in PhilzTouch Recovery.
5. Go back and do Wipe Cache and also do Wipe Dalvik/Art too in PhilzTouch recovery - just to be safe side.
6. Flash JazzROM For Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (5.1.1) [SM-T330NU] ROM, and once it is done, click back key in recovery, and select reboot your system.
8. This is lollipop - first reboot seems like taking forever, but be patient here, you have to wait 15 min to 20 mins.
9. After it finishes the reboot, you may go thru your normal tablet setup (wifi, google account, Samsung account, time setup, etc).
10. After you done with step 9, you can now jump to next posts (post#2, 3, etc) below for additional setup and customization of the JazzROM.
.::KNOWN ISSUES/LIMITATIONS::.
This ROM is quite stable for daily drive, but like all custom ROMs, there's always some small issues and limitations, which I am NOT considering as big showstoppers:
Smart Manager works perfectly fine, but when you check storage and ram detail button in the app, it FCs, the reason is that this is from Tab S2 port, which is still based on 5.0.2, thus looking for 5.0.2 settings activities and our device is 5.1.1. Once 5.1.1 firmware available for Tab S2/Tab A, I will back ported our device again. So expect a fix for it - Fixed.
ToolBox has 12 apps limitation, that's how many apps you can able to add, and it is limited. Do not try to add more than, that it will crash your tablet. This is NOT a bug, just limitation of ToolBox.
As mentioned above, some ported apps you may see some little cosmetic imperfection in these ported apps, but consider that ported apps has 4:3 aspect screen ratio (Tab S2 / Tab A), while this tablet has 16:9 aspect screen ratio, so every effort being made to make it fit our tablet screen.
TouchWiz Launcher's A-Z option sorting is not included in original app (go check it out on Galaxy Tab A's and you will see it does not have A-Z sorting), Samsung decided to enable A-Z sorting in some of newest TouchWiz Home launcher, while it disabled in some others. So I went ahead and modified launcher.smali file to enable it. A-Z option for sorting works fine, but if you keep trying several times, it may not sort it correctly on landscape. Before you start asking that, remember that even Samsung disabled this feature, so don't complain it, take it as it is.
.::WHAT NOT TO EXPECT::.
Frequent updates.
Fancy Aramo installations (who got time for it!?).
Bugs free experiences.
Problems will be solved quickly/ultimately.
Individual/feature requests (I will listen, but no promise).
.::THANKS & CREDITS::.

How to Enable S5 ToolBox and N4 SideKey in JazzROM
I have used following guide see here to edit both SecSettings.apk and framework.jar in our tablet. So both this SecSettings.apk and framework.jar updated in JazzROM.
In order to enable it, please follow this instruction link below - you need to download SQLite Editor from play store.
See Here for SQLlite instruction
I do not want copy and paste entire images, nor duplicate instructions here since @thereassaad already nicely outlined, just follow piece for S5 Toolbox and Sidekey for SQLite Editor, and don't forget to click reset button on notifacation in the settings, and then reboot. All stuff need to work is already added to SecSettings.apk and framework.jar.
Important!: Guys, it is case-sensitive, make sure you type as Toolbox, not ToolBox and it is SideKey, not Sidekey
so at the end, you should have like this;
.......;SideKey;Toolbox;SFinder;
How to Install Xposed in JazzROM
1. Install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk - download here
2. Download xposed-v75-sdk22-tw-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20151008.zip Wanam's Xposed for Samsung lollipop here - Important!!, remember you need 32bit one, not 64bit version.
2. Reboot into recovery and do full nandroid backup just in case.
3. Flash xposed-v75-sdk22-tw-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20151008.zip, and do wipe caches and whipe dalwik/art after that (just playing safe here)
4. Reboot is going to take sometime, so take a break, have coffee or glass of wine or something..
5. Once reboots, you have xposed installed (already activated, no need to do anything).
6. Be very very careful what xposed you use, make sure it works with lollipop, especially check if it works for Samsung lollipop ROM!, installing an xposed app that's not intended to work for Lollipop may soft-brick your tablet!

Courtesy of @pyromayniyak (make sure you thank to him), please see this post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63487537&postcount=145. Make sure make full nandroid backup in case you like to restore back your tablet to previous stage!
Needless to say, this will be included to next version of JazzROM.

.::Q&A::.
1. I followed your install instruction, got bootloop, samsung logo does not goes way, waited for 1 hour, still nothing, what the heck I am doing wrong..?
Well, there could be couple of a lot reason why so. However, if you tried several times and still got the same result, what I would recommend is start from scratch; what I meant is flash official 5.1.1 firmware via odin, and then flash PhilzTouch CWM Recovery - if you are having issue flashing PhilzTouch CWM Recovery, download it from moonbutt74 thread, copy it to your tablet, unzip it, and locate recovery.img, and using Flasfiy app flash it to your tablet. And finally, grab moonbutt74's bootable stock lollipop kernel and flash it, and then flash Supersu beta 2.49 top of it. At up this point, you should be running official 5.1.1 ROM with root and PhilzTouch CWM Recovery installed as your recovery. Now, come back here and flash this ROM following the instructions above. .

2. Are you going to support or release your ROM for different variant of Tab 4 devices such as SM-T530/T530NU, SM-T532, SM-T331, SM-T337A, etc..?
My motto is if I don't have device, I don't support. Please do understand that. However, if someone or some developers willing to port this ROM to other Tab 4 device, they are more than welcome to do so as long as keep the ROM name and credits intact.

3. I was able to install your ROM and all working perfect, but got some apps FCs, why?
This ROM has been fully tested for several weeks, all apps checks out fine. However, sometimes when installed first time, some apps tend to give you FCs, if it happens, do this step: Go to Settings --> Application Managers --> All, and locate the app that give you FC, and now click Clear Data and Clear Cache, and then reboot your tablet. Now check the app that gave FC and see if it works. If still an issue, send me the catlog.

I like where your going with this.. I don't have the Skills yet to pull something like this off..
Hell 3 weeks ago I never even Deodexed anything before.. I was up for many days in a row... Many hours watching myself brick my tablet over and over and over again..
I've been in front of my Galaxy tab non stop and man I have learned a lot in such a short time..
I do enjoy giving Tech support, even if they are morons...
I also take it you came across the same problem I had with Google Drive? Opening and Force Closing over and over and over again..lol
I really like how you completely rewrote the Updater-Script..

Some google apps in system folder for lollipop hates deodexing, you may thinking it must be Google thingy, but I believe it is how Samsung intercorparated art runtime in their device.
Trying something new, and soft-bricking tablet...that's how you learn man....so keep it up...
and yeah, I ended up completely rewrote the updater-script to more streamline.

Samsung Frankenstiened Dalvik and ART together.. Nasty mixture, but its made to make it damn near impossible to develop or modify..
There was not one single tool that did the job either.. I used several tools and strangely enough I got it right the first time... I had to make some changes in the Archi Kitchen though since it didn't support our device.. It should now with what I added to it.. When I wanted to use it to preroot, the default method wouldn't work on 5.1.1..
So I changed that as well by updating it..
jazz
Excellent job! Looks great, feels great. Very well done.
Thanks for putting it all together for us.

It worked after I installed it from the PlayStore. Until I needed to reboot my tablet, then it caused a constant reboot over and over again. I had to restore from backup. I don't really need Amplify though, so I'll leave it for now.
But my irblaster does not work. I've tried a few different apps, and none of them work. Will someone check to see if it works with this ROM on their tab so I know if it's just me or not.
Thanks in advance!

remember that originally irblaster was not there, @moonbutt74 made it available in kernel. Samsung somehow screw this up.
honestly, have not have chance to check or test it out.
have you tried Peel app (which replaces Samsung WatchOn). I had WatchOn on my Note 3, suddenly Samsung App promted for update and update it, and become Peel app.

Yes. I have tried WatchOn, Peel, Smart Remote, AnyMote, and a few others. It worked when I was on stock LP 5.1.1 with moonbutt74's kernel, but not working with this ROM.

check with @Zaphodspeaks and see if it works on his ROM or not. If it does not works in his ROM, means because of deodexing may causing it....I can't really tell for sure.
another thing, when you trying, run catlog on background, and see if you can able to capture some logs for us to look.
It is time to create a new thread to avoid the others from going fully out of control.
My kitchen is finally working fine again, the test firmwares so far function within my expections.
I don't really need much for my needs, meaning my personal firmware will be quite basic.
But I would like to also provide some nice firmware for those out there currently not considering to upgrade to the 7.2.x firmwares.
The basic idea is to have something ready to be flashed with TWRP to get a fully working and mostly already updated 7.1 with full root rights.
What shall go in in terms of stock or additional apps is up to you guys.
A filemanager? Name it...
Additional video player? Again, let me know which one is prefered.
Maybe something like HaLauncher to get easy access to the non TV apps?
Or shortcuts to launch them from the default launcher?
Ad blocker maybe?
Or some Magisk modules?
I think you got the basic idea!?
This type of thread is more suited in general/guides than a dev thread.. at least until custom rom links are available
Fair enough, I then first make one, then add what might be needed, then start again.
Well, then just remove or delete the topic until then I guess....
Can't seem to be able to do it myself, so please go ahead.
Will post again once the rom is done.
