Search first.
Xposed allows you to mod the phone. It exposes the framework so that extensions can do all kinds of things.
http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
I use Wanam after Xposed to give me additional functionality.
you can't run TWRP or CWM. You can only run Safestrap and TW Based ROMs.
The bootloader is locked.
Xposed does allow you to customize the phone heavily, but if you are looking for removing bloatware, get Titanium Backup. It allows you to backup the app in case removing a bloatware messes up the rom.
Depending what custom rom you uses, it may comes with the rom like Hyperdrive, but you need to enable it by going to Hyperdrive Tweak and scroll to the Xposed page. Hyperdrive is very similar to the pre-installed S4 rom so no need to learn from start in using it.
Here is a list of xposed module: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/index-xposed-modules-collection-post-t2327541

Did you check under Hyperdrive Tweak? There are many features you can enable for customization such as change to ios interface, pie control, change status bar, and etc.
If you are looking out-of-the-box feature, try Echo v24 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702592) and Bajarom V2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696872)
These customization are often import from other people works, which you can install on any rom. So you won't find much unique customization from rom to rom

Yes I did use the tweaks of course I did. Its just things like there's only one different screen turn off animation. And I wish there was just...more to it. Also ive noticed that for some reason apps like YouTube or vine, anything with video pretty much, loads very slowly on my wifi ever since I started using the hyperdrive ROM.

Hello Developers!
I work with Jrummy Apps Inc, the company and developer who brought you Rom Toolbox, Root Browser, Ultimate Backup, Busybox Installer, and many other root apps.
First, some background:
ROM Toolbox combines all the great root apps into one monster app with a beautiful and easy to use interface. ROM Toolbox has every tool you need to make your Android device fast and customized to your liking. ROM Toolbox has been featured on LifeHacker, XDA-Developers, Droid-Life, Android Central, RootzWiki, Android Police, DroidForums and other popular sites. ROM Toolbox has one of the highest ratings in the top 100 paid apps. Over 12,000 people gave it a full 5 star review! ★★★★★
ROM Toolbox combines apps like Titanium Backup, ROM Manager, Root Explorer, SetCPU, Ad Blocker, MetaMorph, Autorun Manager, Terminal Emulator, Script Manager, SD Booster, BuildProp Editor, Font Installer, Boot Animation Installer & many more apps into an all-in-one app!
The Revamped Rom Manager includes support for OTA updates!
Here’s where you come in:
We want your rom in our app. All roms will be *completely* free to download through our Rom Manager.
Why should you want to put your rom in our app?
Because your rom would be available to a much larger audience with more potential downloads and donations for you.
We want this to be as easy as possible for you.
To get the rom on ROM Toolbox, please do the following:
1) Fill out the file below with the roms/zips you want to have.
2) Save it in JSON format. I recommend using the free program called Notepad++ to modify and save json files.
3) Upload this file to your server. That way you can be in control of what ROMs show up at all times. Otherwise we can host it ourselves.
4) Send us the link to this file on your server.
5) Send us a summary of the ROM.
6) Send us the name of the ROM.
7) Send us the devices you support.
Code:
{
"version": "1", /*Keep this here, do not change or modify*/
"homepage": "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=...",/*link to website or original thread*/
"donate": "https://www.paypal.com/...", /*donation link*/
"roms": [
{
"name": "NoWizAOSPmod v.1.4.2 (7/22)",/*Name of Rom*/
"product": "NoWizAOSPmod",/*Name of series*/
"summary": "NoWizAOSP is a rom without wiz, and mimicking aosp...", /*Description of rom, and as updates begin, you will want to put changelogs here.*/
"device": "d2spr", /*device id*/
"url": "http://xeoduxus.com/downloadable/nowizaosp.zip" /*Direct download link, no goo.im please.*/
}
]
}
Note: you can add as many zips/roms as you want.. just add another section right under the "rom" entry. If you need any assistance filling this out feel free to ask and we can help you!
If you'd like to use addons, optional, flashable downloads with your rom, please let me know and I'd be happy to explain how to do it.
Ideally we would love for you to maintain your own download link. If this is not possible, please contact us and we'll do our best to help out.
ROM Toolbox is going through a major overhaul currently and has been completely rewritten. We want you to be a part of this!
Thanks!
~ Master Ramy

(Mods, wasn't sure if this should go here or in development. Feel free to move it.)
Now is your chance, developers! Get in on this!
I recently uninstalled the paid version of ROM Toolbox as almost none of the functions worked in the Note 2.
Is the new version going to have all the functions available for the Note 2??
Yeah I cant even get Rom Toolbox to boot on this phone
If only there was a dedicated place here at XDA to find ROMs to download. Complete with support threads, change logs, and donation links to the Dev ....

Strange. I have the paid version also. Rom toolbox works fine on my Note 2. Everything I have used with rom toolbox works. I even installed the updated twrp 2.3.3.1from this app. They do need to get the latest 2.3.3.2 which has been out 5 days. As long as rom toolbox can stay updated I will always use it.
Have you tried changing the status bar icons??
I never used it for things like updating TWRP, once you have that installed its pretty simple to update anyway.

it does let you change some of the just not the 4g icon. ive changed the battery,vibration,wifi,usb with rom toolbox. the boot animations, fonts and some other things work as well. its as great app and i will always use it. everything work but a few icons. its even replaced titanium backup for me.
It must depend on what ROM you're running as none of the icons I tried worked with beans ROM (unless its been updated just recently)
Actually, all I tried to change where 4g and battery and it didn't work for either one so I gave up.
There where quite a few posts about this a few weeks ago, it wasn't working for anybody.
As far as Titanium BU, I never use that myself. i just BU quite a bit with CWM.

for the battery you will have to filter out everything but the 1% icons and that will give you all the icons you can use on beans rom. the 10 and 20% icons will not work cause beans is 1% increments

While XDA is excellent for all these functions, it is not as accessible as an app for people who wanna get things done directly on their mobile device. XDA also does not offer the ability to directly backup and flash the rom, change icons, etc.
Hi Guys
The stock ROM that come with the Verizon DNA, is it deodexed or not?
Thanks
No, but you are able to disable the apps. So it helps, if you don't want to root.

So if I need/want a deodexed device I need to root it, recovery installed and some other/custom ROM installed, am I right?

Correct. Most (if not all) factory default roms are odexed. As for installing a custom rom, I'd look at Supercharged Hatka if you want a stock look with tweaks. If you want an AOSP looking rom, go to Battery Plus (Something along the lines of that... Forgot the exact name)
Although once CM10 is working fully, I'd 100% recommend that to anyone!

Hmmm, where to begin...
First off, you need to be rooted in order to install XPosed. If you aren't comfortable being rooted, then you needn't look any further into this and the rest of my post is a waste...
If you are ok with rooting your phone, then let's go down the rabbit hole!
There are a lot of mods here on XDA. They typically require root access or a custom recovery (TWRP or other) to install. These work really well, but once you install them, they are very difficult to uninstall. And if you install a second mod, it might break your first mod. This makes it difficult to troubleshoot issues.
The XPosed Framework allows modders to make customization packages (mods) which do not technically modify your system files. A good way to think of it is that these changes are done in an emulated way. You can install and uninstall mods without fear that their impact will linger on your system. It's a very powerful and robust modding system and, in my opinion, the way to go for people not wanting to go fully into flashing ROMs.
There is a giant list of XPosed Modules that you can try out. I'm not here to make a review of all the various modules out there, but look for those specifically for KitKat and for TouchWiz (Wanam XPosed is a good place to start).
If you have any more questions on XPosed, just let me know!
Hope this helps!

Thank you sir. I installed it with wanam xposed and got spooked so, I unistalled it. I used the towel root method to root my phone. So, I can keep knox at 0x0. I missed being on xda and I like roms and tweeks but I have a galaxy note 3 of course so me having a custom rom is outta the question. Coming from a galaxy nexus. Thanks for your help. So xposed is a cydia type of app for android stock firmware.

Be surprised !
The definitive Best Customizable Rom for the best tablet Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition. This is for P600 for now......
Thank you if you want to buy me a beer, I need one after these last few weeks fighting with framework and Aroma.
Don't post the link for the rom anywhere else that XDA but you can refer to the thread.
Features:
Deodex
Zipalign
Busybox
Knox free
Init.d
Supersu 2.37
Base P600UEUCNK1 (latest build)
Xluco kernel V3 Stable
Better Keyboard
4 way multi windows
Floating Multi Windows
2 themes Stock and Flat UI from Pro
You can go to very slim to any soft you want to have
Too much add to tell, just install and go to Aroma
Many Build Prop Tweaks
Ad /Data/app feature in the Rom
NitroX Sparks edition
Huge Aroma Installer
5 launchers including Magazine (probably buggy but work) , Apex, Nova, stock and stock fast
I added the soft Reboot Menu that works very well
I warn you this build is very very fast. And Battery life is dawn good. Don't install too much Samsung and Google stuff; make a good selection, you can always go back in Aroma.
Instalation
To install place the zip file in your external SD reboot in Recovery mod.
Flash zip file and follow aroma installer, use the touchscreen gently as it is very sensible and you can install something you don't want.
You can dirty flash if you want but I suggest backing up before and try.
I don't recommend that of course, better Factory reset and wipe caches.
Let the rom settle for a while.
Rom do not affect wifi recovery.
Don't tell me hand writing recognition don't work, Install languages first.
In the first Aroma page if you install Gmail Exchange as only mail don't install Gmail on the Aroma Google apps applications.
To put more apps in Multi-windows use Wanam Xposed.
To enable Nitro:
Open Terminal
SU
MENU
Option 3
1
1
To do: Some cleaning in system and Aroma descriptions.
You tell me what you want for V3 (Already have some nice ideas).
Bugs:
I hope a few to keep me busy.

I am not a developer but will update and try to include some more features as much as I can like kernels and else.
This Rom made me think at something; I really didn't have a lot of knowledge how to build from stock so I really learned a lot, so I maybe write a tutorial before I forget for those interested. Not hard but you have to follow the steps. Decompiling framework and recompiling to change the title is not like eating a piece of cake. That was challenging.
Thanks @JustaArchi for ArchiKitchen
Thanks @dsixda for Android Kitchen
Thanks @Xluco for kernel

Yes. So you are not interested in trying to remove any bloat?
Rom is uploading in Google drive now.
Maybe further this week I debloat. What nivel are you looking at for the removal extreme or medium?
I'm interested in it. I'll debloat, myself. Thanks!

:good: I think I can post the link in few hours.
Yes I think we would all like a new Rom based on the new firmware. Thank you for your work.
I think the more you can leave the ROM full of bloat by default and provide options to debloat maybe in aroma?
I only say this because often users like a particular bloat app and it is easier to remove them after an install than it is to add them in usually.
Just my opinion. Thanks for the new ROM, when I get a moment I'll flash it on my tablet.
Thanks for your work. the more support we can get the better. best to take it slow and keep it stable. i agree on the debloat. there is actually a lot that i need for work. an aroma installer debloat might be best. but its your work so do what you want.

Next step is check out some "battery saver" and "performance" tweaks from Hyperdrive rom and see if you could incorporate them into this NI1 base rom. Xluco kernel is the best. This probably the kernel for reference.

The other thing I am always concerned about with tablets etc is that they are not always supported into the future. Having a rock solid stock ROM with all the original features intact means that long after Samsung abandons this device (sorry for being pessimistic haha) we will still have a really nice stock ROM. Some of my legacy devices are running ROMs that haven't been updated for years, but work perfectly because some nice dev made a stable and thoughtfully tweaked stock ROM.
I'm running this ROM on my tablet now, absolutely no dramas.
To those of you who are using this ROM after trying other custom ROMs, have you noticed any changes in battery life? Can you post details regarding which apps/games and/or kernel you're using?
Thanks!

Honestly there arent too many mods that i actually use even with everything offered in Hyperdrive. i think the biggest ones are being able to add more apps to pen window and multiwindow. being able to split them into 4 apps is nice but its not a 12.2 screen so i am really only using 2 at a time anyway. also have the 4 way reboot menu is always nice. other than that with speed and stability that is all i need in a rom for this tablet. of course totally my opinion. i agree with what you said about keeping it stable for when this is eol with samsung is important. it will happen sooner or later however i am sure we will get L at some point. hasnt even been a year. that would be outrageous.
C to F
How can I change the temp reading in the weather widget to read in F instead of C?
Nice Job
The Rom works well nicely done thank you for a current stock rooted Rom that we can flash to

You do know that you don't need Hyperdrive for 4way multi window? All you need is the app multi window plus and wanam xposed tool to add more apps to it.
As for the tweaks, I found some build prop tweaks and init d tweaks from Hyperdrive that I took and they work fine with this rom :good:
@enotar
Thanks for the rom, the only suggestion I have is for the Tab S UI to be made for this NI1 rom, currently it is only available for cnd3 roms if you look in the themes and apps section but if you could make that work with this it would be great :good:

Of course I need to change a setting. Now if only there was a setting icon or button for the widget!!!!
So for a while now, my i9100's physical navigation buttons don't work anymore (I have dropped it and the flex connector was cut), and instead of fixing it, I was thinking if maybe there's a way to add a navigation bar in the bottom of the screen, like flashing something that would resize the screen and add the nav bar in the bottom.
I've looked up online and I only found zip files for ICS and JB, which reminded me of how the CM ROMs for JB and KK had the "Navigation Bar" option in the Settings menu. How come that's not a thing in L and N?
I also tried SoftKey Enabler, no luck.

That surprisingly worked, although I didn't expected to, as I only found the thread on Samsung Galaxy SIII forum and avoided it. Thanks a lot

It does say that but i have been able to run gravitybox(MM)on cm13.0 without any problem till now and it works well, so its totally your decision whether you want to use it or not ignoring the warning as there may be a risk,i thought you should be aware of the possibility. All the best for any other workaround to get navigation bar :good:

It's a universal android thing that can be used on any android device, remember that in case you need it in the future.

Does it also work on stock Android? It doesn't require a custom ROM or some root, right?

Typically you want root to do it because you can do it directly from the device that way.
But there is the option of installing custom recovery without rooting and then using adb while in recovery to adb pull a copy of build.prop from /system, edit it then save it and adb push the edited build.prop back to /system, wipe cache while in recovery then reboot and you're good. On stock, without root, only custom recovery, it works on custom ROMs also.
Not all devices will have this option because some devices will need to unlock bootloader before they can flash custom recovery, some devices also have a secured kernel and will not allow adb to work unless you find an insecure kernel for the device. Also, not all devices have a custom recovery available to use for this method.
