This is my first rom I hope you like it :fingers-crossed:
About
This rom is designed to get the best possible performance on ICS, gaming and more internal space
Features
Based Cyanogenmod 9
Prerooted
Massively debloated
Build.prop tweaks
Zram
Init.d scripts
Option to enable swap (in terminal type swapit and follow the setup)
Turbo script
Pure performance x
Pure Graphics HD

Enter recovery by clicking the volume down key
A factory reset is highly recommended (Factory reset from version 1.4 to 1.5 is necessary)
Then Install zip from sdcard
if the phone gets stuck on boot reinsert the battery and start it again and it should work, idk why this happens
Credits
Pizza_Dox (for turbo script)
Wedgess (for zram enabeler and modules)
Slaid480 (For awsome tweaks)
Bakisha (for the fixed neo l firmware and for helping in though times )
serajr (for GX launcher)
defiant07 (for swapit script)
Jeeko (for more awsome tweaks)

How to play HD games
In terminal type "turbu" or "swapit" turbo will prepare your device for gaming and with swapit you can configure the swap file, its not recommended that you use both at the same time. To disable turbo restart your device and to disable swap in terminal type swapoff.
Bugs
The rom gets stuck on boot logo sometimes, if that happens just reinsert the battery
Auto brightness cant be disabled for some weird reason FIX
If you find any more you are welcome to report them

Look nice. I'll try this ROM now
I want to try this once my bandwidth limit refreshes (stupid ISP!) but may I ask, what's wrong with Video Recording? Isn't that supposed to be controlled by the kernel?

Sometimes when you stop recording the app yust crashes and sometimes it dosent save it i am curently trying to fix it new version will be out soon
EDIT:It was the kernel after all, you need to flash the 720p version the down side is that it uses more ram
New version relesed!
This is the best performance ICS rom I've seen for ages!!!!! I can play GTA San Andreas with no FC unlike other roms
Look at those posts on the SA thread here and here to see my review
Also it has a lot of internal space as shown in tthe OP, but for some reason I didn't have that much fre RAM. Anyway rom is smooth as butter. Trubo mode is good for heavy game, but it ruins multitasking, so don't activate it unless you need it.
Rom is awesome, but it will be better if you add some little features which we are really used to:
- notification toggles
- reboot options and screenshot by power button longpress (maybe with xposed framework module)
- battery percentage icon
Camera recording has an autofocus bug. It continously zooms in and out for some reason
This review was done in base of v1 with 720p Lupus ICS beta. Will try the v1.1 ASAP

I have seen the review before
You have les ram because of 720p kernel version which uses more ram than 480p where video recording dosent work
The notification toggles is something I wanted to add but ot uses 50mb of ram which is alot (i could make a addon zip for it)
The reboot and screenshot will be aded as soon as i learn how to do it without xposed framework and battery percentage is something i will look in to
I have noticeed that the camera can be buggy i will try to fix it as soon as i can.

I know the 720p kernel uses more ram, but its not too much (~20 mb). I mean the sreenshot in OP has 225mb free ram and I only get 150-180 mb free.
Anyway, great rom. And GREAT BATTERY LIFE!!!!! I've been using this rom with a single charge for 3 days now, and thats after playing SA for 30 min daily, Facebook profile checks on browser, a few calls to coordinate new year party and a lot of music playing

review
i was using this rom as my daily driver for today
bugs:
1-some ui lags that they are all related to ***** android 4.0.3 beta (i think its better to update your rom with a new version like 4.1.b.13)
2-some soft reboots due to my heavy usage(its ok to have this problem. i only had it in gta san andreas that is a very heavy game.)
anything else seems to be fine
but i don't understand why you removed calculator (because it doesn't eat any ram)

Ive noticed that the rom can be buggy sometimes and i will update it as soon i get my kernel up and running on it, and i removed the calculator because it can be downloaded from the playstore if its needed...
wow you are going to make a kernel
great news for us
only a suggestion for your kernel
add custom partition to it like the one that wedgess made for his lupus kernel

First Run
Testing on latest nAa and AlfsV8
Observed problems/glitches
(a) Temporary glitch, rebooting 3 times solved problem: WHOLE screen moved about 80-120 pixels to the right, relative to the display! About 20% of right side screen missing, shows up on left side.
(b) FC on entering CyanogenMod settings /System/AnonymousStatistics
(c) No icon notification bubble for calls/sms. Notification in status bar only
(d) Walkman Widget placed on bottom row, near dock, overlap dock icons, but, from the back side
- Did clean install/reinstall with full wipes, before and after
- Problems happened on nAa kernel from posted link.
- UPDATE After using nAa, I re-flashed AlfsV8, and this time NO PROBLEMS! Initially ROM wouldn't boot up on Alfs v8. Was stuck on 'FreeXperia' screen. Tried re-flashing kernels and ROM, with same effect every time. Probably a communication problem with initial flash.
Personal opinion:
PRO's: Very light, lots of RAM for 'multi-tasking' (reading while listening to Xiaa, and web browsing). Had between 91-108 free MB's after boot!
CON's: No notifications bubbles, which makes this ROM quite 'on-par' with ActiveLauncher which I used on top of GingerDX, and got almost identical, if not slightly better performance doing same tasks.
OVERALL: ...I'll have to lean towards Achotjan's ROM, but, nevertheless, good job!
Don't thank me! I'm addicted to new ROMs!
for me, the rom is working with Alfs
Sorry, but the Alf's kernel for GingerDX or the kernel for CM7 that we have to use?
for CM7
Hey, it has the ICS'ed launcher by me B-)

outdated thread. version 3.1 already released
This was once the home of stratusrom. Unfortunately, due to a big misunderstanding which I do not wish to get into (read the last 5 pages if you are interested, although I recommend against it). I have deleted and recreated this thread in full, so head there, and let old bones stay buried. I will not respond to any kind to post here, and please don't post, as it will cause this to resurface. Bury it completely!
head here for my rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27826938#post27826938

This rom has ics 4.0 or it's a rom for sgp 4.0?

NOTE: post repurposed to move extra info off of the OP, as it is becoming very crowded.
User participation:
Sometimes I have a possible issue or fix that I need YOU the users to try before I fix it. These commands/steps will not harm your Gplayer in any way, or decrease performance. Just post the result if I need you to, or report back on your success/failure!
Performance:
Make sure you post screenshots of your quadrant scores so I can tell that my work is going to good use!
If you have a hack/performance mod you want to see in the next version, be sure you pm me your idea/link!
Please make sure it is a well though out idea, not "improve cpu score on quadrant", as that doesn't help me.
Make sure you report any bugs you have as soon as possible, so i can fix them!
Bluetooth fix:
this is only for people who are having bluetooth issues, if you are not, ignore this!
1. Head into terminal emulator
2. Get su, and type "v6"
3. Head through the prompts until you see a mains screen with several options
4. Choose the one that says "Nitro lag nullifier"
5.Unillify
6.exit, and reboot
Howto:
convert to EXT4(STRONGLY recommended, as this gives a large performance boost. Most of my I/o tweaks performance increase is reduced drastically if you do not apply this!)
Credit goes to Klin for this guide.
1. Flash Klin's R3 or a version of Terrasilent
2. Make sure you have about 14 MB free space on /system.
3. Boot into CWM recovery and do a full nandroid backup.
4. Reboot, and from your computer go to the CWM backup directory on your sd card. Alternatively, you could use a file explorer to view and edit these files.
5. Change all the files from ".rfs.tar" to ".ext4.tar".
6. Open nandroid.md5 with a text editor and change all the ".rfs.tar" to ".ext4.tar". Save and close.
7. Eject the device from your computer FIRST. This step is crucial. Then disconnect from your player. If you edit it on the player, you can skip this step.
8. Reboot to CWM recovery and do a full restore.
9. (only for terrasilent users) head into the advanced menu of cwm, select reboot download, then reflash your terrasilent kernel. That should fix the "bricking" some people experienced.
There you go! enjoy the increase!
Fix home button woes:
I have finally, after a bit of luck and some know-how, determined a fix for the home button issue! This will work on ALL roms, not just this one, and will probably work for the 5.0 as well. This also means you can fully wipe data if you want, and simply apply my fix.
1. Navigate to /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings
2.Optionally copy to a computer (easier that way)
3.Open it up in a sqlite editor (if you are doing this on the device, copy it to /sdcard and and then copy it back
4.Navigate to the locale/first section (there should only be one string in there
5.It should look like en_US if you have a US player, or en_GB if you have a UK/intl player
6.Change the string to the language/locale you use (if you are INTL you can merely change it to xx_GB, where xx is your language. If you are US, just perform the same steps, but change the last part to US)
7. commit/save the file and copy it over the old one
8. Reboot, and your home button *should* be fixed!
NOTE: I have not personally tested this. It has a 99% change of working, but I have yet to completely verify it.
NOTE: after you replace the file, android may go a little haywire (wifi disconnects, forgets password, advanced reboot option unavailable, etc.). THIS IS OKAY. Simply reboot, and it will all be back. Do not change any settings after copying until it reboots, as it may possibly break the fix
NOTE: I cannot provide a downloadable file, as that file contains all of your system settings, and if you use mine, my settings will be applied, which could be pretty bad in some cases.
NOTE: this has no chance of bootlooping or bricking your device. At absolute worst, you have to set up a few settings/restore from a /dbdata backup. There is almost no risk involved.
Credits:
I want to thank all the devs who created mods that I use in my rom. There are too many devs to list, but I want to thank them all for such great work. I am currently working on the list of people below, so I can properly thank them. I realize they need to be recognized for their hard work, and the last thing I want to do is rip them off.
bscraze for his Beats audio poweramp fix/boost audio.
dsexton702 for his universal adrenaline shot.
H3llstorm for his compiled list of gps fixes.
[email protected] for some of his init.d scripts
Zepplinrox for V6 supercharger.
Papa_Smurf151 for smurfed out settings.
Klin1344 (of course) for letting me continue his rom, and for his EXT4 converting guide (I didn't want to rewrite it myself, I was busy).
GO launcher team
Holo launcher team
theos0o for pulling youtube hd apk.
ICS 4.0
when can we expect to see Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich?
NOTE: post also repurposed.
V1-
All current features of Klin's R5 rom
"universal" adrenaline shot for improved I/o Performance
Fully supercharged+Nitro lag nullifier for Optimal ram usage. (Note: if you are having bluetooth issues, unullify. I believe that worked for me.)
MANY build.prop tweaks (including smurfed out settings) for:
Improved battery life+deeper sleep
Smoother launcher
Vastly improved all-around performance
Added SQlite3, full Tune2fs, and Zipalign
Several sysctl tweaks for improved performance, and more battery life
System and Cache formatted for EXT4 by default (recommended you convert data and DBdata too!)(someone needs to verify this for me, I have already converted, so I can't tell)
Optimized Dalvik memory allocation
Beats Audio mod (amazing sound quality!)
HD youtube apk
Surface dithering (hopefully better display quality, I need feedback)
Includes Go launcher EX (someone tell me if I should not do this, but I get over 180mb free with 7 full homescreens, and 8 widgets, 2 of which are resource intensive. (fullscreen weather, and fullscreen twitter)
Increased camera and video recording quality
Disabled uneeded system apps (go into /system/app and rename them from .apk1 if you need them.)
Modded to be recognized as Galaxy S (does not work on market)
PLus several smaller tweaks I am sure I have forgotten about
V1.1-
did some first-day bug squashing (thanks posters!)
fixed market issue(If you have previously flashed this rom, reboot into recovery, head to mounts and storage, and format /cache)
Massive battery improvements:
Tweaked sysctl for battery (should not reduce performance)
force-disabled all swap usage (should improve performance)
Increased battery life 1.5x+
(I got over 3.5/4 hrs of constant web browsing with brightness at 30%, OC to 1.5ghz with a LOT of overvolting, and wifi on the entire time)
Gps fix for amazing lock time!
I got 3-5 seconds drom a cold boot!
V1.2-
Several small bugfixes
Ensured init.d runs on boot
Fixed some init.d scripts
Renabled logcat (for easier debugging)
Reverted busybox to a earlier version (for increased stability/ensuring tweaks stick)
small performance improvements
sysctl.conf init.d script disabled (the script is currently beta, you can enable it by uncommenting sysctl-p in the init.d script)
Updated beats audio mod (sounds a lot better)
Fixed bluetooth issues
V1.2.2-
Fixed poweramp, no more f/c
Improved audio quality
Increased max loudness of speakers (prone to distortion past 60/70%)
Hopefully squashed some bugs
Reverted possible bluetooth fix (you can still do it using my guide if your bluetooth does not work)
Possible 3d performance improvement
V1.3-
Fixed init.d scripts, they should ALWAYS run at boot now.
Fixed init.d scripts/optimized them for our device, it should speed things up a lot with my modifications (spent over 3 hours fixing them up)
removed some init.d scripts for faster boot
Fixed scrolling cache tweak (For some reason it was not working properly) for a performance increase while scrolling
General bugfixes
Added Holo launcher for total ICS feel (seemed laggy/slow when I used it though)
tweaked sysctl settings for a modest battery life increase
general performance fixes/increases.
V1.4-
Advanced sysctl tweaks (super fast responses)
Improved battery life a bit
Gave Ram priority to system (should not affect you unless you are a HUGE gamer, as in running games that should not be able to run on the Gplayer)
Small performance tweaks
Improved boot time ~5-10 seconds
Cleaned up init.d scripts some more
Tweaked Beats audio for better poweramp compatibility (hopefully)
Small tweaks to supercharger
Possibly fixed potential bootloops
V1.5-
Tweaked sysctl for added performance
Drastically improved battery life
Removed Holo launcher (unecessary and drained a LOT of battery when in use)
Added launcherpro (recommended for use to save battery life)
Tweaked build.prop for improved performance
Fixed nitro lag nullifier (bluetooth fix works 100% now)
Added CM9 wallpapers
Changed EXT4 journalling method (Big I/O boost)
Tweaked init.d scripts a bit
Updated/bugfixed busybox
Added voodoo sound control as a system app
Improved UI smoothness/performance
Disabled more uneeded system apps
Fixed home button issue (check my howto section)
various bugfixes/performance improvements
FM Radio

I tried it and it just fails. Flashed Klassic R5 and stock with no problems. Im pretty sure the file I downloaded is not odin flashable. Inside the zip is only "cache.ext4" and "factoryfs.ext4". Is there something I'm missing? Thanks for the response, btw.
Try redownloading, I updated the link earlier with a version that fixes that issue. I will also double check my current link to make sure it works.

Ok, thanks. I downloaded it earlier today and saw you mentioned the link was back up so I thought that might have been the case. Thanks for sharing your work and looking forward to trying it out.
Thanks,hanthesolo
I've followed your instructions in another thread, and I can feel an awesome improvement!
I'm sure I would like this ROM
Yep, no problem! I, like an idiot, thought the filename extension was what Odin would format the partition to, and I of course never checked it out (today was pretty hectic). I am downloading it now myself to double check that it is what it should be.
BTW, new version up tomorrow with a new (awesome) name, and awesome battery life improvements! (I am currently at 50% after 2.5 hrs of nonstop web browsing with the screen at 30% and wifi on, plus a 1.5ghz overclock with some insane overvolting).

Thanks! I would recommend flashing this tom now, because I have a LOT of tweaks in it that are not in that thread (I have been unbelievably busy the last 24hrs)

Flashing other attachments isn't compulsory! Its a choice
============================================================================================================
My Personal Settings
-Set Background Process to 3
-Tick Force GPU rendering
-For smooth performance and battery life set:
*Max Frequency - 1.3 GHz
*Lowest Frequency - 100 MHz
*Governor - Hotplug (Hotplug governor is tweaked for better dual core handling. Switches off CPU1 faster than before)
I/O - SIO
Activated Screen State Scaling for battery life
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to me switching off a core saves more battery than running at lower frequency with both the cores running

I will probably flash it, but which kernel allows us to go to 1.3 ghz? Also, could u use in the next version instead of ac!d audio this app?

Finally, i think there is an app that gives us some stuff for gaming from xperia play. Can those make any difference?

Hahahaha, we would probably make a custom kernel too.... PROBABLY

This rom will be faster for gaming if you use GameBooster 2: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.burakgon.gamebooster2&hl=en
But you cannot include it in the rom because it's a paid app . Maybe you can make a new game booster app and include it in this rom? :silly:

As far as our testing went we didn't encounter any Apps not responding error or FC's

I can't wait, I'm still downloading this amazing rom... I will try playing Real Racing 3 on this rom!
EDIT: Hey! It's booting! But the scrolling lags a bit, I think we must turn on GPU rendering. No lag in homescreen, ultra smooth. One problem, why there is "SIM not provisioned MM #2" notification? But this is a very cool rom! You must make a new boot logo and a boot animation for this! Great job guys!
EDIT2: And two bugs, xLOUD and Clear Phase not ticking (I think not working too), but it's ok, the sound is still LOUD and the quality is superfine. One more problem, actually not a problem, hahaha, Real Racing 3 runs blazing fast and super smooth, better than SlimFXP CM based rom, i swear!!! It's a very good rom! Continue developing it! I'll press as many thanks as i can!!! Hahaha! Cool rom!

Android Tweaks App - for STOCK ROM AND CUSTOM....
App links - Free and Donated Version
Free Google Play Link : Android Mobile Tweaks
Donated : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appz.donatetweaks
As it is with any other desktop or mobile operating system, the performance of your Android OS will start to diminish after you use it for some time. Mobile operating systems are supposed to be lighter and faster to keep up with our need to be on the move, yet still give us access to everything. Want to have the best of both worlds? Then, it’s time to do some housekeeping.
If you have noticed that your Android phones performance have been ‘slowing down’, particularly after you’ve been loading it up with tons of Android apps (we don’t blame you) from the Google Play store.
With just a few tweaks and changes, you’d probably be able to breathe life into your Android specifically those that have been updated to Android 2.3 and above.
***** Feature *****
Android performances improved at 360°
Radically improved management ram on android
Script lightweight and revised to be adapted to this engine
Improves a lot the graphics: of course Pure Graphic™HD, Pure Dithering Plus™ and... AOSPA 3.60 system tweaks
Scan multimedia time drastically reduced
Network Improvements, 3G experience even in 2G modality
All SQlite database optimized
Enable hardware features turned off by default for a better experience on entry level devices
Greatly increases the score AnTuTu: Try it to believe it!
Reduces the startup time of Android
A version for stock rom and one for CM, to squeeze any roms!
Allows you to play ported games without lags
Cleans the system every 24 hours, thecache every week and the Dalvik every month
Automatically Zipalign on each boot (sensitive to the user)
****** Graphics, Screen, Images ******
Enables a non-aggressive dithering to save CPU
When you lock the device, the engine makes sure that the GPU is turned off
Enables deep sleepalso in the bugged rom
Parts of bravia engine
Of course parts of CrossBreeder (credits to dev)
Of course parts of Adrenaline Engine (credits to dev)
Of course PureGraphics HD, even though I already told you
Of course V6 supercharger
Generates video entropy
****** CPU, Governors, I/O Schedulers *******
Slightly improves the scaling of the frequencies (for better results you need a good kernel)
Lightens the load on the CPU switching the workload to GPU rendering
Enable the swap partition in Android (experimental)
****** Battery *******
Drastically decreased the drainage of battery
Check the activities that consume too much battery stop them with PureWakelocks™
When the phone is charging reduces system services for faster charging
The battery is calibrated on every boot
Disable animation of the system when the battery is nearly exhausted
Improvements in build.prop as regards the part of consumption
******* Compatibility ********
This engine works on any devices with any rom, but there is a version for CM's rom and one for stock based firmwares. So, CMx.x, Lewa Os, MIUI, etc.
Install the stock version only on your stock firmware of your phone....
if your device don't have gingerbread or ICS officially, install the CM version (This also applies to the AOSP)
Any issues Please Mail us, .. [email protected] I request you all please don't write BAD Review or Rating..
Please Don't forget to hit THANKS BUTTON
Try with your own risk...

MegaFire V23: brought performance and speed optimizations learned while developing PopRocks lp n4 build...also a rebuilt camera taking incredibly high res shots...enjoy the new update
MegaFire V22: while I wasn't even planning on doing another MegaFire as I honestly thought that was the end of the road...but I've been going thru some other rom builds updating them this weekend as well an found this huge leap in snappiness and immediacy that i couldn't not build into MegaFire and truly complete this build with the best possible rom imo possible...i hope you all enjoy v22
V20 Basically Took v18 and polished it, increased the touch response, animation and transition speed, and fluidity of the build as a whole...also enhancements done to the screen for sharper detail and punchier colors...sharper still photos and higher detail...improved call clarity/sound quality...and optimized the battery/run temp...if you follow the optimized setup I posted in op2 on a clean flash of V18 your mega will feel like a brand new, much more powerful kit...enjoy
V20 is the culmination of over 40 roms of jelly bean on the mega, with newer stuff pulled from Megakat and firekat note 3 roms...
V20 kept the performance and battery life of classic MegaFire roms with increased screen clarity, call quality, photo/video quality, streaming speed and video quality...i basically wanted to flush out the rest of the build to be as optimized as the performance...enjoy
New in v20 builds: mainly rendering, debugging, performance, and battery life enhancements and Optimizations...refining this rom to the absolute is the goal plain and simple...pulled every new trick I could think of
MegaFire Mj2 Deodex V20 Rom based on new Mj2 base firmware.
V20 Optimizes from roms between 4.1.1 and 4.4.4 and uses new tweaks pulled from a few latest kk builds
The Peak of Perforamnce for The Mega
Several Tweaks and Optimizations taken from Note 3 rom and Note Pro 12.2 Rom
Biggest Gain is Temp: Still running super fast but running on average 18 degrees cooler so there's a drastic decrease of screen dimming in games and the Mega hardly ever warms up on the back now
Eliminated Wake Lag: screen on from deep sleep is near instant
Massive Improvement For Gpu Rendering And Load For Excellent 3d Gaming
Improved Multi-touch Responsiveness and Accuracy for Better Gaming
New Optimized Mods Allow For Lag Free Multiwindow or Heavy Background Use
Even Further Improvements Made For Gains In Battery Life
Completely Rebuilt Dalvik and Cache Controllers
Fastest Browser On Any Device I've Ever Used
MegaFire V20 is a large step up taking everything from 4 builds of the Mj2 base, and refining and optimizing it into the best rom possible
V20 takes the speed and performance of V18 to another level, while improving on the battery Life
Improved overall smoothness
Framelocked at 60fps
Improved Keystroke response times for keyboard
3d games run absolutely flawless
Improved ram management and dalvik Cache
Tw ui overhaul: improved response times and animation speed on par with Nova
Faster GPS Location
Extremely fast Data Speeds: search and back are near instant even on slower data Speeds
Battery: standby drops only .3% per hour or less on standby
Speed: extreme speed boost to ui and system averaging 8395 quadrant scores
100% Lag Free: no more laggy ui..even eliminated the lag upon boot up
***No more stuttering and frame dropping upon Reboot or gaming
Extensive modifications to build prop, system, and Xml files make this rom extremely fast and smooth. I took all the tweaks and customizations from the previous 10 roms as well as from tweaks pulled from my other device's roms'
There is a stock rom V20 with all added features and Samsung Apps
A second stripped build V20X comes super stripped and streamlined with only Chainfire's SuperSu Apk
(Thanks to Chainfire as always for granting us root access)
***Be Sure To Update SuperSu In Play Store
Both builds have the same optimization tweaks but V18X comes with a ton of stripped system apks and widgets, fully removed from the system
Knox fully removed from both Builds
Features of Mj2 V20 Feature Included:
***I Built Viper4Android Into The System of Both V20 Builds
1. Open Viper
2. Grant Root and Install Viper Codec: I Choose Medium
3 After Install Viper Will Say To Reboot
4 Reboot Your Mega
5 Go Back Into Viper and Set Eq and Options
6 Done
***No need to update anything now as i have pre built everything in just follow my instructions and enjoy the amazing sound quality
Extremely Fast and Smooth: I completely overhauled Mj2 V20
Battery Life Is Probably As Optimized As Possible
Lock Screen Delay Completely Removed: Almost Instant LCD Response
Touch Response Improved For Faster and Smoother Feel
Precise Tweaks to Across Several Levels of The System
Improved Battery Life In Use and Standby
Increased Data Speeds and Voice Call Quality Without Battery Drain
Further Tweaks to Ui For Near Flawless Transitions
Animations and App Launching Happen Nearly Instantaneously
Extremely Smooth and Lag Free Performance
***Main Focus of v20 Is Optimizing The Mega In Every Way
New Features Added to V20:
Torch Apk
Es File Explorer
Nova Launcher and Tesla Notifications for Further Customization
Updated MX Video and Double Twist Music Apps
New Viper Audio Updates Built Into System
Mj2 brings Native Apps2Sd functionality
Keyboard From Bmj2 is Amazing: excellent feel and accurate autocorrect
Improved Animations and Transitions, plus several tweaks I put in to make it even faster
Tweaked Ui for smooth and quick transitions and scrolling
Tweak Disabling Scrolling Cache for improved speed
Viper4Android Audio Tweaks : built into the system itself and included in Sound Settings Music Fx Menu
MX Video Player for superior video rendering in HD
Camera clarity has been tweaked and modded for clearer and sharper detail
Improved Battery Life
Xposed
Wanam Xposed Mod
App Settings Xposed Mod
Adaway
Youtube Adaway
Kit Kat Launcher witih Always Listnening Google Now
Multiwindow Manager All Apps Enabled
Root App Delete
Double Twist Music Player
MX Video Player

Tube Mate YouTube Video Downloader
Removed From V20
Since V18X is extremely stripped down i left V20 more stock for this build...
All Knox apps are removed
Elm Agent Removed
App Mobile Print Apks Removed
Story Album Removed
V20X Features
All background and system tweaks for speed, performance, and battery life just like V20
No additional apps except SuperSu and Viper4Android
Significant Amount of System and Stock Apps Removed: 86 in total
SuperSu by Chainfire only added app
Extensive Xml tweaks, edits to the source code, and various other system and background optimizations
Cuts to the system and removing a lot of useless apks and apps
Main focus of V20X is optimizing speed and battery life
V18X is completely stripped: 750 to 900 mb of ram open and 10 running system apps total
To use the Xposed Mods: open Xposed App and go to Modules
Make sure a check mark is visible beside the apps that you want activated
Reboot.
Upon Reboot go into the apps that you activated and set them up however you want them.
**** For any mod that you do not want to use or keep on your phone simply uninstall from Application Manager like any other up.
**** I Included several mods but there are a ton more mods available in xposed downloads section for you to choose from.
I always highly recommend Wanam and use it myself for a ton of things
Known Issue:
The one and only issue that I've found has been the Stock Samsung Video Player which is still included in both Builds as it works in certain regions MX is not included in V20X so if Samsung doesn't work you'll need to download a video player if necessary
*** The problem with Samsung Video is certain regions csc codes are incompatible with this application and will open but force close when attempting to play a video, so I included the much higher quality MX Player for everyone. If you have this force close issues with Stock Video use MX, if stock works you have the option of either video player but i still recommend MX as its far far superior to Samsung player
**Just make sure to download the codecs for MX and Viper

Installation: Both Builds
1 Reboot into CWM
2 Wipe Data and Factory Reset
3 Wipe Dalvik Cache
4 Install Zip from Sd or Ext Sd (whenever you store it)
5 Let it boot up after flash, and let it sit settling in for 5 to 10 mins. Then go thru setup screens...When you get to the home screen do a reboot.
6. After it reboots enjoy
Upon Reboot:*
**For Kit Kat Launcher
You Need to Update Google Now in the Play Store prior to launching KK Launcher*
Update Google Keybaord as well
Open Google Now settings and update us English language
All set...Open the KK launcher and set it up as usual and you now have the full KK launcher and Always Listening Google Now
Once the Google Apps are updated to match the updated gms package I baked in KK launcher should launch without issue
***if you run into some issue I have linked the KK launcher apk in post 2...simply download and install as usual without uninstalling anything and it will launch as it should.
****The choice to root, mod, or flash my rom on your device is your choice and your choice alone...
I take no responsibility if you brick your mega, or it blows up in your kitchen.
***Please Do Not Use My Roms Except for Personal Use Without Asking Permission
***Likewise Please Do Not Repost My Links Without Asking Permission
Thanks to Perzonator for hosting the files on his server
Enjoy MegaFire Mj2 V18 or V18X whichever versions strikes your fancy...
Mega
Thanks Noahk11 for the bad ass sign
How To Optimize Your Setup: my personal method to the absolute best possible performance and battery life...combined with v16 will take your mega to another level...enjoy
Ive had a bunch of pm about my setup so here ya go...for the absolute mlst optimal experience on Mega fire V15 follow this setup. ..
1. Uncheck Force Gpu Rendering in developer options...about phone, click MegaFire V15 10 times to unlock dev options
2. Use Wanam and Xposed to deactivate Dvsf under Advanced in Wanam...dramatic boost
3. Change Animation and Transition settings in developer options...set all 3 from 1.0x to 0.5x. ..another huge boost to responsiveness and speed of any launcher
4. Greenify all downloaded user apps...Dont touch system app/don't activate greenify xposed mod
5. Disable the follow apps
Samsung Push Service
Google Chrome
Google Books
Google Magazines
Google Music
Google Hangouts
Google Plus
*obviously unless you use any of the above
6. Install latest Google Play Services apk...def seems to have lower battery drain that previous few apks...thanks to pierriotis for the apk
https://mega.co.nz/#!6JpBAaYZ!xyyIchYpDHrS-1IzZjK2_OHVilzkihb-U1960ZaLhaQ
7. Disable google location history and location reporting...doesn't affect maps or g now at all only stops a ton of data mining and wake locks
8. Never use power saving mode with my roms as I rebuild the Ps controller
Enjoy the new build...literally for those who want v15 on crack and steroids...use multicore controller or setcpu to max throttle the cpu lol then you're head will be spinning

If you have issues with KK Launcher download Google home apk and simply install...don't uninstall anything...should have no issues using instructions below. But apk just in case
https://mega.co.nz/#!TdYmQKZZ!8IDRhSIPRt08XPFbxkNGdnP1i1xK8LUhx4Bv33RRHJU
And if Google camera force closes..uninstall from application manager and reinstall apk like normal.
https://mega.co.nz/#!2RpFATqI!m-t8DP6PADaeBvTAqmCpiP-Li3aFtzUY75o4xmZ1Kzw
It seems some i9200 users are having issues with pop up...again just uninstall then reinstall this is apk below...no use pop up browser: since it's modded from note 2 to work on the mega to resize you push the box next to the the x not the arrow...The arrow has no functional code and will cause a fc.

Sorry bout the delay...I wouldn't have made the op earlier had I known mega was gonna fail several times and upload super slow...it's about 35% done and shouldn't be long...I'll post the link for the rom as soon as it's done loading...it's just at 1 gb so it shouldn't be a long download...hope you enjoy it...I've been testing it right about 20 hours...still 40 percent battery after some seriously brutal heavy use to try and break my rom...haven't come across a single stutter or lag even right after flash...hope you dig it.

I based it off an mh2 stock tar build that I had...I used that since it was the last one prior to any Knox. Selinux just began on the latest update. My other mega is on stock mj2 and it has no selinux either. I was just going to start de compiling the ml1 to deodex that build like I did the mh2 and start to work on the kernel then I saw your thread.

Hey now ......cm is good and the rest of the ROMs ...sucks it doesn't cut it for you lol stock with full capability of every app is a nice thing but pure vanilla android is uber nice ... Let's just say maybe you are a stock kind of person
And ...at last we have a ROM is untrue ...we have had ROMs for a long time ....Cassie's ROM ...silent ROM........and cm and other have been being built for a little bit now ........sorry I have picked your post apart but sometimes I do that .... @captemo will now what I mean lol

Oh I totally understand believe me ....I'm sorry you had problems with those aosp ROMs as I had none at all.
Never had a reboot or dropped call or wifi ...if you go back to cm try a clean install if you didn't already and no data restoring ...I start fresh with each flash and make a backup once completed ..I have every ROM backed up for whenever I wanna change ... But sorry back to MegaFire ......waiting for upload to finish cheerz:beer:
