Installing MIUI
Do not attempt to restore data from 2.1 and any other Non-MIUI roms via xrecovery, as it will result in force closes and will not work
If on the first boot you do not get signal, you need to go to dev tools on the homescreen, select bad behaviour and then crash system server. The phone will reboot and radio will be working, enjoy!

Troubleshooting
I have no signal
Have you crashed the system server?
I STILL have no signal, even after crashing the system server!
Make sure you are on the correct baseband - The rom is designed for 0.49, but should work with 0.52 and 0.46 as well. If you have a baseband that is higher than 0.52, either flash baseband 0.49 or flash the following patch in xrecovery (this does not apply to MIUI 2.3.3, you must have baseband .49/.52/.46):
http://www.multiupload.com/K3BS2YJQPF
The camera flash isn't working!
You cannot use the led flashlight within the camera app, but you can install this app to enable the led flashlight, and go into the camera app with the led turned on. This also works in MIUI 2.3.3 (but w/o the camera)
http://www.multiupload.com/BN5BXNJYFT
After installing, you will be able to add a torch widget to the homescreen for easy access.
In MIUI 2.3.3 you can hold the home button on the lockscreen to have quick access to the LED flashlight, but the above apk must be installed.

What is MIUI?
MIUI is a custom rom which differentiates from the stock android experience more than any other rom, featuring a revamped UI and several unique features.
Whilst the X10 is not an officially supported device, MIUI has been ported by TripNRaver to the X10, please visit his original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013210

Ew, it looks like iPhone, this is not the ROM for me!
Please do not write off MIUI because of the apparent similarities with the iOS user interface - It is so much more than a simple rip-off, with many useful features you will not find in other ROMS. Whilst the default launcher is similar to iOS, you can still use others in place of it, such as launcherpro or ADW which will give the ROM an appearance closer to stock android, allowing you to enjoy the android look with all the great features of MIUI

Key Unique Features
There are many great things about MIUI that make using it a real pleasure.
Images are of MIUI 2.2.1
1. The Lockscreen
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The MIUI custom lockscreen is far more advanced than the stock android 2.2. It features a sense-style sliding panel which you can drag up or down to unlock. Dragging down from the phone icon brings up the dialer and dragging down from the messaging icon brings up a sms app (whatever you have set to default, if you are not using the stock app)
You can preview unread texts and view missed calls without leaving the lockscreen, simply by pressing and holding on the message/phone icons.
Another great feature of the lockscreen is music control. You can easily change tracks, pause and play music, simply by double tapping the lock button to bring up the music controls.
2. Notification Bar
Sliding down the notification bar brings down a panel with all your notifications, as well as toggles at the bottom. You can conveniently access these from within any application (providing the notification bar is shown), swiping across them to reveal more toggles.
3. MIUI Themes
MIUI has an advanced theming system implemented, where you can choose from hundreds of user created themes to download which completely change the appearance of the ROM, changing many things including icons, the notification bar, UI elements and many more.
Themes can be downloaded via the theme downloader within the rom or from http://miuithemes.com/ where there is a huge selection to choose from.
Remember, when downloading themes from the internet ensure they are in .mtz format or they probably will fail to apply.
4. And Many more!
MIUI has several other features which you will experience just from playing around with the ROM itself - the stock apps such as messaging and the dialer are completely customised, and there are other useful MIUI apps included such as File Explorer which allows you to wireless sync files between your phone and computer via WiFi. I strongly advise you to just try the ROM for yourself and see how you like it

Customizing MIUI
Themes
Themes are very straight forward to change and download - just put any you download on your SD card in the MIUI>theme folder, and they should appear in the theme manager. If not, tap import and navigate to the desired theme. In 2.3.3, ensure the theme is fully compatible with MIUI Gingerbread or it will not apply correctly.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Battery Display
There are three ways of displaying your battery in the notification bar in MIUI
-Graphical (standard display)
-Percentage Number (self-explanatory)
-Top Bar (A green bar that lines the top of the notification bar, giving a visual representation of the battery)
These can be selected by going into Settings - System>Battery Settings>Battery Indicator Style
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Changing the Font
The option to change the font within MIUI theme manager is not currently working, but it is still possible to change your font fairly easily.
Put the font files you want (android compatible font packs can easily be found across xda) in a folder on your sd card and download Typefresh and And Explorer from the android market.(Typefresh needs this to select the font files). Open typefresh and replace the Arial.ttf font files with the corresponding ones on your sd card, and hit apply(menu button>apply).
After pressing apply it will say 'failed to remount system'. ignore this, and then press apply again - it should say fonts applied sucessfully.
Reboot your phone and the fonts should have changed!
You can now remove typefresh and and explorer if you wish.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Menu Display
By default in MIUI 2.2.1, MIUI has a menu display (what appears when you press the menu button within apps and on the homescreen) that is similar to that on iOS - if, like me, you prefer the stock android menu display grid, this can easily be changed within settings.
Go to Settings - Personal>Menu styles>Original grid
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Changing the launcher
If you do not like the stock launcher it can be easily be changed by downloading a new one from the market, e.g. launcherpro or ADW.
Once the launcher has downloaded and installed, press the home button, tick always perform this action, and select the launcher you just downloaded.

Making the Most out of MIUI
Custom Kernel
TripNRaver has created a modified kernel for MIUI that has no fps cap, meaning the phone will run a lot smoother and feel more responsive. This replaces the stock S.E kernel, and is possible since the bootloader has been bypassed.
This is currently for MIUI 2.2.1 only!
Bugs with current kernel - 0.3
-GPS not working
-APPS2SD not working (angry birds and other apps don't install - can be installed by unmounting sd card in settings before downloading in the market)
(bugs with rom without custom kernel still are present)
The download links can be found on the TripNMIUI thread, please follow the following instructions to install the kernel:
Procedure for using custom kernel
- Flash rom (1.0.3) through xrecovery
- Boot up the rom
- Rom will reboot by itself to correct network / data
- Enter pin and logon to phone
- Wait for network and data connection to be ready (crash system server not needed)
You can follow the next 3 steps anytime after the above have been completed
- Reboot into xrecovery again
- Flash custom kernel
- Reboot into TripNMiUI
How do i remove the custom kernel?
Flash TripNKernel BTS (Back to stock)
If you flash a different rom, the kernel will not remain.

Notification Toggles
The notifications toggles also act as a shortcut to their relevant settings menu, which can be accessed simply by pressing and holding on the toggle.
E.g. pressing and holding on the wifi toggle brings up wifi settings

Click to collapse
Transferring files via WiFI
You can view, copy and add files to the SD card in your phone easily using MIUI File Explorer, included in the ROM.
To do this, ensure your phone is connected to a wifi network, and open file explorer. Go on PC sync, and press start service.
The phone will give you a link that you can type into your browser address window which will look like something similar to this:
ftp://192.168.0.2:2121
You will now be able to transfer files.
Alternatively, you can use an FTP client such as Cyberduck to do this, just type in the address given by the phone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Privacy/Security
MIUI offers several features in the way of privacy and security.
Personal Password
By going into Settings - Personal > Personal password, you can set up a password to enforce security measures on certain parts of your phone.
You can choose to use a pattern, numeric pin or password for this.
There are then options so you can select what you want to protect, including unlocking the phone, access to messaging, the phone dialer and password protecting folders. Note: you can only password protect folders using MIUI security if you are using the stock launcher
Visitor Mode
by pressing and holding on the power button to reveal the phone options window, an option called Visitor mode can be selected.
Visitor mode hides all your messages and calls, useful if you are letting a nosey friend play about with your phone
It requires a password to disable.
Incoming calls
For incoming calls there are two useful features MIUI has:
-Flip to silence (will silence the ringer on the phone by placing it screen down on a surface)
-Pick up to fade (ringer will become quieter after you pick it up from a surface)
These can be enabled in Settings - Common>Call Settings
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
MIUI Backup
MIUI features an extremely useful backup program called MIUI backup, which allows you to backup and restore apps and settings, should you ever need to reflash the rom or install an update. There are two tabs in the app, System and App.
In system you can choose and select the settings you want to backup - homescreen layout is a really useful one, as it means you dont have to spend ages setting up your homescreen again. In apps you can choose what apps you want to backup.
Restoring is a simple process, you just click on the backup you made and wait for it to complete restoring

Great guide and explanation. One more great feature of notification bar toggle should be mentioned. Most of the toggles also act as a shortcut to its setting screen by long pressing the icon. For example, long press the wifi icon will bring u straight to wifi setting page.
Thanks for the guide again cuz I'm sure less adventurous users will definitely benefit from this

You should wait for Trip to fix it and release an update.

Most apps that require use of the camera currently don't work on this ROM.
Scan Life Barcode scanner does work however, which you can download from the market here:

Sometimes "crash system server" is not enough, especially with bb .46. Then after "crash system server" you could try do "Factory data reset" (Settings -> Backup Data & Settings). It worked on my phone. I've read that "Factory data reset" without sd card in phone also may helps.
Today I upgraded bb to .52, installed TripNMiUI 1.0.2 and "crash system server" was enough to fix radio and wifi. So it is advisable to upgrade bb first and then install rom.
Btw. dogwoofer, nice guide

thx a lot dogwoofer, scanlife work perfect
and now this rom is perfect
Also, there is a Torch.apk posted in the ROM thread that works very well.
You can turn on the LED flash with the widget and then open camera/scanlife and take pictures.
Or just fire it up to find your keys in the dark!!

.mtz files should always work, whilst .zip files may or may not - if you just try it nothing bad will happen, worst possibility is it will just fail to apply
I just love this rom but i have one big issu, Trip has striped out all language and it is a big problem for me. Is there a way to make it have multiple language again like it was in ver 0.3.2
Yeah, I'm also looking forward to a pt-BR language pack.

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 ++

-PDA:KF2, CSC:KF2, PHONE:KF2
-Deodexed

-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?^)

-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.

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.

Description: This method (nearly identical to my previous thread for the Verizon Galaxy S III) will help you get Google Wallet working on your Verizon Galaxy S4, regardless if you have a TouchWiz-based ROM or AOSP-based and whether it's Odexed or Deodexed. This should also work on AT&T/Sprint/T-Mobile Galaxy S4 as well.
Please Note: In order to use this method you need to be rooted and have a custom recovery (1, 2, or 3).

How to Apply Mod
1. Make sure you have no Google Wallet pre-installed, or if you do, reset data on it
2. Once you have reset the data, go to the Wallet app in your Application Manager
3. Select to "Clear Cache", then to "Clear Data"
4. If you see "Uninstall Updates", select that button, but if you see "Disable" button leave it alone
5. Using a root explorer and text editor, change build.prop lines to correspond to this
Code:
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
6. Keep an old version as a backup
7. Copy the TouchWiz or AOSP zip file for the mod to your phone/SD Card
8. Reboot into your recovery and flash the Google Wallet mod
9. Boot back into the OS and open Xposed Installer app (should be installed after flash)
10. Select "Install/Update" and allow root access if it asks
11. Reboot your device
12. Download and install Paul's Xposed Wallet apk
13. Launch Xposed Installer app again and go to the "Modules" tab
14. Enable the module by checking the checkbox for it
15. Reboot your device again
16. Now open Google Wallet and setup everything as needed (PIN/Security/Cards, etc...)
17. After it is all setup and working, change your modified build.prop back to ONE of the below
Verizon Galaxy S4
Code:
ro.product.model=SCH-I545
ro.product.name=jfltevzw
ro.product.device=jfltevzw
AT&T Galaxy S4
Code:
ro.product.model=SGH-I337

Everything seems to be working. I will have to head to McDonald's tomorrow and give it a try. Thanks!
Well I got this working from the other thread but looks to be same methods which is fine.
Now poking around... I noticed I have a devices section on the Wallet website and see I can reset it remotely if anything happens (though I wouldn't test that for ROM issues). Nice to know... is this more a secure element self destruct?
Also I notice a section asking to "Verify Identify" which if required... I will. But I am already reading where people have entire Play Store/Checkout locked out over this permanently over this. I just hope I don't get my account screwed one day because Google hates the grocery which I shop at or some lame thing where GPS is off by 500ft and claims I'm not there.... I know farfetched and over the top but just concerned or if anyone had issues with this.
Ok it works for me untill I change my build.prop back. What am I doing wrong

I wouldn't worry too much about those, I think the remote reset from the website just wipes the app by itself, the secure element stays working so it can be passed on. Highly unlikely and unnecessary that Google will want to brick a secure element for security purposes.

Which method did you use? What happens when you restore the build.prop? I personally have this running back on the stock build.prop using method A, so I know no issues on that one.
Will this work for the at&t phone of the same model sgh-i337? Stock rom rooted.

I'm currently stuck in "identity verification hell" and can't use Wallet even on my 100% stock Nexus 7. not happy. I sent them my license and a utility bill already and they still want more (SS card) which seems ridiculous. Amazon Payments was required to collect SSNs not too long ago...but they didn't require a freakin scan of the original document.
ugh.
anyway: Method A works great for me (still on TouchWiz for now sadly).
anyone else notice that when you change the build.prop product name, if you long-press the home button you see three icons along the bottom of the screen instead of "Task manager", "Google", and "Close All"? I believe that's what AT&T/T-Mo users see by default. wasn't enough to get rid of that stupid WiFi notification though

Wow sorry to hear about all that difficulty. Hope you get it resolved with Google promptly! Glad to hear the method worked for you though (as expected).
On an unrelated note take a read at this thread here regarding the icons instead of words and also the Wifi notification fixes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295622

Method A , Step 7. Reboot into your recovery and flash the Google Wallet mod
The file downloads as JFLTEVZW-Wallet-TW-JB-1.6-R96-v16.zip.zip
It's a nested zip file. does it need to be unzipped one level first or is that just the name of it ?
Mine has been at 'setting up this could take 5 minutes' for 10 minutes. I used Method A.
Nice, just finished Method A.
ZIP file was fine as is.
Everything appears to be working. Will confirm after i get to make a purchase at some point. Thanks!!!!
Edit; I had previously used Google Wallet on my Galaxy Nexus so everthing came back, cards, etc. easy peasy.
What happens if we follow all steps properly and get Wallet working, but then flash the 3Minit framework after in order to use the UI tweaks that the 3Minit app offers? Does that mess anything up for Wallet or is that Xposed framework needed permanently?

My mistake, it's not actually a nested file if you look inside, I just forgot to rename it. I'll reupload with proper name to avoid confusion.

This one did take some time for me as well, usually just let it be there for about 5-15 minutes. It checks a lot of stuff in the background at this point.

The Xposed framework is needed to stay there for Google Wallet to patch properly but if I understand that 3Minit mod correctly I think it just added an additional patch to the Xposed framework to enable and doesn't need to replace it? Could be wrong but I think it should be fine.
I already have xposed framework installed. Do I have to UN install it before doing this? I'll lose all my mods.. and have to set it all up again, grr.

In that case not required. All you have to do is update the new one that this mod flashes, the rest should remain the same however.
(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

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.

Thank you for the comments. I will be working on you suggestions with new releases. Enjoy
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!

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!

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

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

Additional Apps &Customization for JazzROM:
This is the section where you will find some additional apps, customization of JazzROM and give you some alternatives.
Even if I mostly tested them all, I would still recommend you to do some kind of backup before you start exploring these apps, and customization
===*****************************************************************************=======================
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 NOT flashable zip, so in order to install, copy files to your device's system\app folder, - before you copy two apps, make sure you delete the ones comes with JazzROM (or just back them up, in case you want to revert it back) and give permission 644 and reboot.

SecThemeChooser for JazzROM's TouchWiz Launcher (see screenshot below)
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. Here I am including download link, this has some extras - several additional themes included. Have fun.

Thank you for giving us gt-n5110 owners another option. Everything is still running very nicely.
"Chance Favors the Prepared"
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..
