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

SYSTEM ANIMATIONS PREVIEW PAGE:
Still more to come, but now there is less guessing.
I flashed the pixel animations and it's ****ed up my whole rom... Tried flashing stock animattions and it still won't work, no apps will open. Reccomend nobody flashes as this clearly isn't compatible with Samsung ux
Hope add more animations in next version.

Yep, ur right! I have no clue what I'm doing, this is my first mod ever!!!
Now first off, this mod did NOT ***k you whole rom!!
It modded 1 file, but ONLY AFTER it copied your original file placed it in a safe place and made a flashable restore.zip just for this reason!
I've actually been doing this for yrs and have learned in that time that no 2 devices are the same, same brand, same model, same variant, same f**ing manufacture date, but they are TWO different devices and nobody can predict how they are going to behave at any time!
With that being said, this version has already been confirmed by MANY Samsung users on S8, S8+, S6, S6 Edge, S7, Note 5, Note 4 and so on. So it's compatible!
So why don't you read the OP and post something useful!
I post clear instruction, nothing too difficult for even beginners, about the proper way to post a possible bug
Also writtem in the OP is a tested and proven method that is written into the mod to create a restore.zip with "your" original files for easy and quick recovery if something does go wrong!
Obviously you didn't read any of that or you wouldn't be here wasting everyones time!
If you do want help figuring what happened so if there is some compatibility with your device, the rom you are running and my mod we can fix it together and prevent for future users.
In the OP it mentions under buv report that MIUI option is causing issues for "some" users, not very many, but some.
I also need to update that i received a single report for issue with Minotour rom, which was recovered and back up and running less than a minute later by using the ozop-restore.zip
With over 400 download and less than a handful of bug reports I would say that it mostly compatible for Samsung!
BTW, I have been developing for Samsung for almost the last 5 yrs and built this mod specifically for Samsung!
So yes, it is absolutely compatible with Samsung!
I would definitely suggest you get you fact straight and educate yourself before hand to save yourself the frustration!
Anyways, sorry to hear you had problems and maybe next time aside from reading the OP, you can post a bug properly with details and questions for help instead of placing blame and assumimg things.
Good luck and good day!
Hi,I`m running carhd v5 rom and I tried iOs animation.All went well but I didnt like the animation so I reverted back with the restore zip.
That caused boot loop issue. I try to dirty flash the rom but that didnt help either. So after that I tried to clean flash and every time in twrp I get the some symlinks failed and now I cant install any rom...And I didnt get log

Wow! This is a new one! I'm sorry to hear your troubles...
I have questions about what happened before it went bad, but lets try to get you back up and running.
Can mount or unmount system in twrp?
No full Nandroid backup?
When you decided to revert/restore back using the zip, was the iOS you first and only selection?
If yes, then the restore.zip would definitely be the original from you system prior to flashing anything with this mod.
I ask because if you didn't manually move or rename the first restore.zip, it gets overriden with each new flash preventing your device storage getting filled with copies.

Thanks for your answer,I managed to install stock rom through odin.
Ios was the only one I tried. Thank god I get it back to work
What's up Stang? Glad to see your back in action. I just got a G950f a few weeks ago. It is an absolutely amazing phone. I can only imagine how awesome it would be running OZOP on it. Can't wait to try this out. Take care man.

What up bro! Congrats on the new phone and wise choice going with the F model!
I will bring add much as I can from oZoP without having the device, but that will obviously limit what I can do.
I am working on an update for thia mod to bring some new options and fix the MIUI issue.
That being said, DO NOT unstall MIUI option it will cause no boot issue.
Of course you're familiar with the ozop-restore.zip so i didn't need to tell you how to use it, just reminding you it's there just case. If you get into trouble, flash the restore zip and boot up before trying anything else.
Good luck bro and definitely keep an eye out for more installments of oZoP Modz.
Take care!
Great work, mate. Works flawlessly!

@stangdriver44
Will this work with latest based FW roms like Renovate?
I am used to HTC phones for years and I loved their UI, you can pick any selection in any menu (like settings) while the scorlling animation is still rolling, this is not the case with the S8 UI where you have to wait that the scrolling animation stops completely before being able to select something with one tap or else you end up doing double tap (one to stop animation and another to open the selection). So is there any of the ported animation in your zip capable of making my S8 ''scrolling animation/selection in menu'' like on an HTC or we have to wait that you port from HTC 10 or U11?

This mod should work for any Samsung rom (MIUI is broken atm, dont select that option).
As for porting this scrolling menu option from HTC, it been a very long time since I've run HTC so I don't remember what it looks like...
I have no problem trying to port the animation over, but i need the file which the animations are called from.
If i remember HTC uses a different named framework-res file so if you can upload the file that contains the animations i could look further into porting them over.
Thanks for the request, I appreciate and encourage any and all suggestions. Can't promise I will be able to bring them, but I will do my best!
As for the status of this project, I am currently remaking the installer to have the option for a "quick pick", which will let you choose a single style animation for the whole system (like it is now) or a "build your own" animations options to pick specific parts from each style for what animation you want, like app opening, keyboard opening, recent app switches etc.
Going to be very cool when its done!
And of course I already have the MIUI option fixed.
Thanks for youy interest and keep you eyes on the thread title for the update.
Have good day
I asked my friend leedroid about the animation files, he's an htc custom rom dev, let's wait for his answer

Yeah of course it is, it's nothing to do with the fact there may have been compatibility issues due to the base/bootloader I was on.
Thank you. I tested and was stopped on "Deleting Temporary file".

CONTRADUDE PRESENTS
CleverNameHere Rom Release 1
This rom is discontinued as I have moved on to the Nexus 7. God Bless, everyone!
This ROM is based off of the Evo View 4G's 2nd OTA (security update) and was created with DSIXDA's rom kitchen. Special thanks to pardonmyfreedom for figuring out the view's mount points.
Features
Rooted
Busybox
Deodexed
Zipaligned on boot
Ad Free Hosts file added
Bash shell & nano installed along with sysro/sysrw scripts
Added custom boot animation (found about 4th hand, will give credit when I can find original owner) and switched the shutdown animation to the stock HTC one
Hardware Accelerated UI
Dalvik heap increased
Filesystem Tweaks
SD card speed tweak
Juwe11's ram optimization script
New Market
Removed most of the bloatware (including teeter, which i'd forgotten before), and left blockbuster, qik, polaris office and sprint nav in data/app so that it can be easily removed if you prefer to do so
Disabled HTC update checking
baked in facebook, google+, es file explorer, Titanium Backup & Mybackup Root, Onlive Viewer, Dolphin Browser HD
Skype for chat included, along with enabling bluetooth headsets
Features in optional theming zip (coming soon, need to rebase off of OTA2)
Crysis Battery Mod
running test icon set
Changed off green (HTC Color) into actually green on loading circle and download bar
Green Overscroll
Please help me test this rom for a couple of days while I'm continuing to add features as well as offer suggestions for improvements. I already have a few in mind as well, just need to continue working through them. I'm also looking for anyone who has theming experience since I'm an IT guy and not a graphics designer ;-)

Pre-Installation Instructions
Make sure your HTC Evo View 4G is S-off and has a recovery installed, the best way to do that is to follow this guide by Globatron. You also need to have an SD Card in your view in order to be able to flash things through Clockwork Mod.
Installation Instructions
The betas of this ROM will wipe data, so I recommend backing up important information in MyBackup Root and Titanium Backup. The Full Releases (RLS 1, RLS 2, etc.) and Release Candidates (RC1, Etc.) will not wipe data, but if you're coming from stock or just want to make sure your devices is clean, do a factory reset from within clockworkmod recovery between steps 3 and 4 of the guide below.
Copy the Rom .zip file to the base of your SD Card, not the internal storage of your View
Boot into your tablet's bootloader by holding volume down & power while unit is powered off
select recovery by using the volume arrows and hit power to select
you should now be looking at a black screen with blue text, if not make sure you followed the S-off guide. using the volume keys to navigate and power button to select, select install zip from sd card using power
select choose zip from sdcard
select the clevernamehere .zip file on your sdcard
navigate down to the option that says 'Yes - Install clevernamehere*.zip' where * is the name of the version of the rom (eg. beta1)
Rom will now install and run it's course. The script will be more verbose then it is now by the final version
select the +++++Go Back+++++ option
now select reboot system now and the view will reboot. this will take a while, just like it did when you took it out of the box.
Rom is now installed and working! let me know if you find any bugs or have feature requests.
Removing all user data before installing a new rom (Factory Data Reset)
Boot into your tablet's bootloader by holding volume down & power while unit is powered off
select recovery by using the volume arrows and hit power to select
you should now be looking at a black screen with blue text, if not make sure you followed the S-off guide. using the volume keys to navigate and power button to select, select wipe data/factory reset.
navigate down to the option that says 'Yes -- delete all user data' and select it. This will wipe ALL of your data and the data will be unrecoverable after this unless you have backed it up using Titanium Backup and Mybackup Root.
device will now wipe itself and take you back to the main clockworkmod menu. continue on from step 4 of the above guide to flash the rom if you already have the .zip on your device.
Uninstallation Instructions (going back to stock)
Download the shipped rom RUU from here. This was posted by Football on the Flyer Shipped ROMs list here
with your tablet powered on, plugged into your computer via USB, run the RUU. It will take over after you confirm you want to 'update' and format you back to almost completely stock (I was still s-off but I had lost root of course)
go ahead and update your tablet back to the latest OTA (the first OTA) using software update on your tablet.
now go to this thread by attn1 about getting clockworkmod back as well as root. don't forget the view is named the express and DO NOT download anything from this link that has flyer in the name
you are now ready to flash another rom or reflash mine
im giving this a try ill report back....
Thanks! Let me know what you think. I have a few ideas for speed improvements and I will for sure have a more descriptive flashing script

so far so good
a few questions though
Can you turn 4g service on automatically
is this going to be a sense or senseless rom or both?
any plans on removing the default sprint crap bundled with the phone?
rom name recommendation ContraView Rom

Removing sense is always a large undertaking. I'll tackle that at a later time, so sense for now. Beta 2 is going to remove as much as possible and put it into a zip for the few users who might actually want it. I'll look into having 4g autostart as an option. Thanks for the name suggestion.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Beta 2 is now uploaded. I have been working on theming and it is quite a bit harder on sense based roms than it is on touchwiz. I'll also upload the removed apks as a zip file tomorrow.
Since there are currently only 2 roms specific to the View I thought I would give yours a try as well as the XPRS rom. I really dig that boot screen. So far everything seems to be smooth without any issues. I am running it with the ADW Ex launcher and all of my primary apps work well including netflix..

Aye c-dude any chance of a change log for those of us wondering? Thanks for the ROM. We need more View chefs and your contribution is DEFINETLY appreciated!!!
Why the hate for stock?
Do you have a completely stock updated rooted ver? What base are you using?
Edit: This was not meant to as disrespect to you. Thanks for all the hard work. The talented devs are the only reason we have this community today.
ContraDude thanks for all the hard work on this rom as its really the only rom we have on the view that is currently being worked on, once they have the kernel source released I know some devs who are willing to make some kernels for our tab. However, one request that I have which you may be able to figure out, as I could not, is how to get the android market to install apps it says arent compatible. I originally thought that changing the fingerprint would fix the issue however I have changed the fingerprint to several different devices and currently have the fingerprint showing the tab as an EVO 3d to the android market. Unfortunately this still doesnt get apps like facebook, go sms, or other apps to show up. I have attached a screenshot that shows my tab showing up as an evo3d. Also I believe that it may have something to do with other lines in the build.prop that show that the device is not a phone, not sure where those are. However I did completely take out an reference of the model number, product, and brand to mirror those from the build.prop of my evo 3d, so I changed more than just the fingerprint and it still doesn't work.

No one is willing to do their own dirty work anymore. What happened to if you don't want it uninstall it now that you have root. Do you have a completely stock rooted updated ver? I cannot find a 2.3.4 stock rooted rom for my wife's view.I saw you removed teeter which my kids love, kept in blockbuster, polaris, and telenav(no good without premium gps fee) which I don't use. I cannot take any Ota's without causing problems so I am still 2.3.3. But every rom maker out there is all about remove this and remove that. I for one have no problem removing stuff I don't use, and on the other hand do use some of the bloat apps everyone is so "remove happy" over. Sorry for the rant but it used to be the user removed what they didn't want. I thought that is what root was for. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for being a sterling example of everything that's wrong with XDA. You complain that people don't do their own work, then complain when you have to do your own work?
If you wanted a rooted stock rom, why are your looking at custom rom's? Run the s-off tool then flash the zip that gives you root. At that point you have a rooted stock rom.

Thanks for being an example of the majority of XDA users, quick to flame and not help. Yes the rant could have been left out but that was my opinion on removing apps. No one can say what the next guy will or will not use, just pointing out somewhere it was agreed that stock apps were bad. I learned with the 3d that some bloat apps are system and will not install correctly with the normal installation of apk's(reader being one of them). I can put these back into system myself as I have done it many times already. No disrespect was aimed at anybody but it seems you are ready to fire back at a moments notice.

Custom roms can still be custom without removing stuff. It's the added tweaks that make them custom. And I am currently Stock rooted.

4. Type in "1" and press Enter -> This Recovery Flasher will do what it's made to do and when it's completed, your phone will now have a custom recovery.
5. The application will automatically close 10 seconds after the Recovery has been successfully flashed.
Note from Genokolar said:
1. The development of this Custom Recovery was done through email with Huawei so it may be lacking certain features, a full custom recovery will be released as soon as responds him
2. This recovery will only flash from an external SD Card, internal SD card flash is not yet supported
3. At the time of this Custom Recovery being posted, no third-party ROM has been released, therefore it has not been tested <- No longer the case
4.This recovery can be used to Root the EMUI ROMs released by Huawei
5. When you need to flash back to the original ROM releases by Huawei, or receive OTA updates from Huawei, please flash back the original Recovery

I chose to flash it after booting into the OS for the first, but I don't think it will cause any problems. I will be posting the way I did it, and if you guys did it the other way, let us know if it worked or not
*IMPORTANT NOTE*
When you're booting up your system out from Recovery, you will be asked whether or not you would want your ROM to auto update the recovery, shown below:

Step 4: ALL DONE!
Congratulations, assuming everything was done properly, and everything worked out, now you will have Android 4.1.2 on your Huawei Ascend D1 Quad XL.
Images not showing up in your GooglePlay Store? YouTube not working?
Here is how our very own 12andy fixed the problem:
12andy said:
UPDATE: So using a clear hosts breaks the ability to connect to Facebook (via app and website). It's best to use AdAway, instead.
Nvana, it's the same process we've been using to flash the Chinese ROM(s), but with the added step of "fixing" the hosts file:
download SmartHosts from Goole Play (free)
tap on "Toggle hosts file" button
select "Clean hosts file"
And you're done! Rebooting wasn't necessary either, as the images started loading immediately.

Thank you for translating this! I do have a several question though.
1) Is it possible to edit the recovery so we can implement English into it? Maybe you can collaborate with the dev that made the recovery and ask him to make an English version of it??
2) I did a little research and I think the Chinese ascend is u9508 where ours u9510e. would there be any conflict or some features not usable?
3) I know you can change the system language but I am just wondering is there any difference in the chinese version of 4.1 vs the english version? or its just simply a language pack thing?
Wish you were in the 'GVA'
Thanks for doing this! Hope more people can test it out. I am bit too busy to play with my phone now so I'll do it in a week or so!
Keep up the good work!

Hey no problem at all,
1) I will suggest that to him, no problem, but not sure if he's willing to accept it though, but I'll try
2) The U9508 is actually the Honor 2, not the same as the D1 Quad XL. The Honor 2 was designed as a high powered budget ranged device to counter the XiaoMi M2 and the D1 Quad XL was supposed to be their flagship device. Although there is actually a Honor 2 with 2GBs of ram though lol
So to answer your question, this was made specifically for our phone the U9510E
3) Huawei has not yet released an international version of the EmotionUI for our phone, so the only way to get Jelly Bean on our phones is to run the Chinese version of the ROM. And to be honest, there aren't any major differences. For example, one difference is that the Chinese version will not have the Google apps, but we can patch it in by flashing the gapps from goo.im. I think the only difference would be that the international versions will have more language support.
Haha no problem, let me know when you do get to try it out
I've tried it many times however it did not work. The connection to the Chinese server seems to be established, unfortunately the ROM download did not start.
Got JB up and running late last night!
Please see my notes below.
ROM download:
make SURE that the ROM you download is in ZIP format; the recovery does NOT recognize 7z files (as expected)
for this reason, I downloaded version B
use Flashget to grab the file (saves a lot of time and grief in the event of network disconnections)
Flashing Custom Recovery:
the phone's drivers MUST be installed first
I think the program must be run first as well, prior to plugging the phone in (the procedure would only work once I toggled my phone from Mass Storage to Hi, and back to Mass Storage again)
Flashing GApps:
I flashed GApps right after flashing the ROM, but my phone sat at the Huawei logo even after multiple reboots
I went back into Recovery and performed a wipe, which fixed the problem
upon booting, I only had to install Gmail; Play Store was intact, and might've been included with the ROM already
ROM Impressions:
language selection was one of the first screens shown, so that part was very straightforward
don't know if it's a JB thing, but scrolling performance has improved irrespective of performance setting - smoother, with less input delay (say, scrolling up and down very quickly)
camera UI slightly changed (cleaner, perhaps?); continuously auto-focuses as you move the phone, so hitting the shutter "button" results in near instantaneous response (cool!)
more notification bar toggles - can be rearranged to a certain point
themes implementation - not really a fan of this, as I prefer the stock Android look/ feel for the most part; choice of vanilla Android is available
lock screen shortcuts can only be modified if using a theme
stock SMS client isn't vanilla Android - looks nicer, but isn't as responsive IMO
menu/ submenu background is near white - probably a bug, as white text on a near white background is just painful; probably not great for battery life either, and is not consistent with ICS+ Android colours
Dropped by the Chinese forum (yay for Chrome auto-translate!) to see if I can decipher any pending updates, but to no avail, lol. Looks like these ROM authors are also focusing on optimizations as well - happy to see that.
REALLY hoping this phone gets more popular very soon, and receives the Cyanogenmod 10 treatment.
Many thanks, Simon! Any chance you could convince the ROM authors over there to volunteer to become CM10 maintainers for our phone?

Hmm, what browser are you using? I noticed that my Chrome sometimes had problems loading the site because of the extensions I was using, maybe try it again in IE?

Great to see that everything worked! I hated their custom UI too, that's why I opted for HOLO Launcher HD for the stock JB feel
Supposedly Huawei will be working with genokolar to fully unlocked the bootloader and release a full custom recovery sometime this week so that should open up doors for other developers
And I don't even think they'll need any convincing, this thread here is a member of their development team releasing CM10 for the Ascend P1, so it's just a matter of time!
You're welcome

Hmm, what browser are you using?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried to download via firefox however with using flashget as pointed out by Andy the download started immediately, for whatever reason.
I am also sure that this phone gets most popular soon because of a successfull compromise - strong battery, most compact size ( one-hand operation), 4,5" IPS+ display, quad core cpu and microSD. So keep your fingers crossed that our phone gets their own forum.
I do hope we get our own page but the thing that is stopping this phone from getting popular are
1) Hard to get your hand on one (BIG ISSUE)
2) Too late to join the quad core market (most people on S3 already and another big issue i mean who in their right mind is gonna give up s3 for this? and you can get a used S3 or BNIB for almost the same price of this phone if you try to import it...)
3) Try to ask anyone if they know what Huawei is ... most-likely they will be like `"what and where" ;p
4) This phone seems to be more appealing to the minority which are us who like to mess around and install Roms... and mess around during the day and runs out of battery (one reason why I choose GNex over many other great phone and one time i flashed 2 different Rom in one day at school because i was bored and then ending up running out of battery).
Yeah i hope their next phone would really make a dent in the market! But for now they already missed their chance to speak up and choose to forever hold their peace...
Well anyways while I am blah blah ing i just finished Downloading the Rom using Chrome, No Problem and took me less then 30 min. Well report back after i flash... which I should be studying for finals but... just cant stand the temptation you guys are posting....
Edit: Rom option 2(b)
So I got the rom to install but are faced with a few issue
1)*solved* Boot animation sound, I am ok with the boot animation but i dont like having sound... Would fast boot wolve that? or it takes the whole boot animation off? (Apparently if you turn the phone off in silent it will not make a sound when you turn it on!)
2) Play store not showing any image... I am not quite sure why... (Google it and did everything possible and still no avail...)
3) Messaging app when i type the keyboard cover the messages, like the message doesn't auto move above the keyboard and when i scroll the keyboard goes away. ** minor issue but its frustrating...
4) I just noticed I can't access YouTube from both the apps and the browser. Does this have to do with the rom?
I agree, this phone needs to be marketed much more here; bit of a dark horse, if you ask me.
Your S3 claim: I would have to slightly disagree with you on that one. Most people I know are still rockin' the iPhone and/ or Blackberry (this is a dying breed, however), but the tides are slowly changing now, as people are starting to take notice of Android. I only know three people with S3s, one person with a Note 2, and another recently obtained a Nexus 4 (had his Blackberry for awhile).
Boot animation sound:
I had my phone on silent (well, vibrate) last night, but the sound played still upon rebooting(?). Will test further.
Play Store images:
At first I thought it was my internet connection messing up, but turns out this is not the case. The first Google result pointed me to this, which indicates that using SetDNS (and choosing an appropriate DNS server - I like Google's/ OpenDNS', personally) solves the problem. I'll try this over lunch time at work.
Messaging and keyboard issue:
Swiftkey is typically one of the first apps I install, so can't comment on this.
Youtube:
Haven't tried the Youtube app/ site yet. I'm thinking this MAY tie into our DNS issue.
Further impressions:
stock browser isn't vanilla based, and isn't hardware accelerated, so it's a tad choppy (forcing 2D acceleration doesn't seem to work, either)
stock browser has a neat feature whereby if you swipe from the right bezel going left, it'll reveal the tabs; pretty intuitive in that regard, IMO
I tried the DNS level 3 and that didn't work.
One question did you set external sd to main storage? It doesn't seem to save apps on it?
Sent from my HUAWEI U9510E using xda app-developers app
Aw boo.
And yeah, I have external SD as main. AFAIK, that setting is only for things such as pictures/ videos, and not for apps.
Apps will always default to the internal storage, which is where the App 2 SD program comes into play.
EDIT: Hmm, I wonder if LUV's version (option C, per this thread) is any better than B. Simon, have you tried this one as well?
Hmmm weird bc without setting it my pics and video already saves on external.
Can we not just flash a stock 4.1.2 and flash the radio? I'm guessing gps and camera won't work properly? I don't like the Huawei 4.1 to be honest :s I'm back to 4.0 haha just can't stand the setting menu.
By the way I'm just curious on how you guys got this phone? Through windmobo?
Sent from my HUAWEI U9510E using xda app-developers app
Hmm, maybe the camera app itself ignores the system settings, and defaults to external SD on its own...
I don't think flashing a stock 4.1.2 would be that simple, otherwise we wouldn't need to go through these loops (via Chinese ROMs) just to obtain JB. Hence, my anxiety for a CM10 release.
I myself am pondering flashing back to stock, but the touch responsiveness of JB would be hard to let go of. Granted, it's a bit of an improvement only, but still.
Might try LUV's ROM later tonight.
And yes, I got this through Wind (on a TAB, nonetheless). I don't think this phone is available anywhere else at the moment, as far as Canada is concerned?
Sighhh I miss flashing roms I do it so much it's like I'm addicted haha. I still got my GNex to mess with.
Have anyone compiled their own rom before from free sources?
I guess we can try to learn to do that and cook up a rom for this phone that would be cool.
I'm having an issue with wify on ics I cannot connect to my school secure wifi. I had all my credential set up but it won't even attempt when I press connect.... You guys experiencing this too?
By the way have you tried the DNS to fix the market? I read somewhere that the app doesn't seem to work on jb?
Sent from my HUAWEI U9510E using xda app-developers app
I only enjoy flashing when the ROMs bring about new, practical features, performance improvements aside. I always get a chuckle out of Apple fans who jump for joy whenever an update is released. My response? "Yeah, remember how you felt when Apple released that update? Now picture that feeling, but almost every day... welcome to Android."
I'd love to get into ROM compiling, but programming is anything but my forte. I'll leave it to the Linux-heads and the guys behind Cyanogenmod, SlimBean, etc., hehe.
Odd. My wifi worked perfectly fine on the stock ROM, connecting to my home router (WPA2 Personal).
I ran across someone that said that if you attempted to use SetDNS without root, that you could possibly hose your wifi. Considering we are rooted now, I haven't the idea as to why you can't connect to the school.
SetDNS set to Google's DNS didn't work, unfortunately. Might be a glitch between the app and the ROM itself, perhaps.
(My school uses 802.1xEAP. I know I set it correctly because my GNex connects fine.) ** solved
Yes I do rmb the days when I had the iPod touch 2g and I hated how things look soo boring and function so limited so modified the crap out of it through Cydia. They had pull down menu already many years ago in Cydia and apple didn't pick it up till recently lol.
Is Huawei working on 4.1 for global firmware? I hope they keep the stock lock screen and stock menu.
Can't wait for someone to release 4.1 AOSP!
By the way compiling shouldn't be too hard? There are many tutorial and program to auto compile I rmb I had a program like that few years ago...

Per this thread, it seems that we'll be getting JB officially very soon. Bit late IMO, but better late than never.
Bit surprised about what Telco wrote about the XL's reception though, as it's quite the contrast to what Howard found with his.
Battery life
Hi I just wondering if any of you on the 4.1 can compare the battery life with me. I think I read it somewhere that the 4.1 improves battery life significantly. Here are my results
4.0.4 ICS, Screen brightness on auto. On battery save mode most of the time
By the way anyone fixed the play store/ you tube issue?

About the reception i have to say i agreed! My GNex never looses signal completely (just down to no bar but still barely connected) but the ascend drops to no service. At school too I noticed I get drop signals in some areas that i didnt notice before. Maybe that have to do with the battery saving mode? I will try putting on performance mode to test it out in those areas.
The way you grip I do notice some drop in signal. Probably the architecture and location of the antenna

(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

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!
Working out the kinks.....but it does work.

Definitely still working out the kinks and testing new things daily! With the help of @Ryno1982 and his advice about the new pkm image files it opened up some options with the Dialers. I I will put together an update with these new options for a release this week hopefully.

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!

Requirements
A Galaxy Note 8 GT-N5110 WiFi Model only
Install PhilzTouch Recovery for your device (I'm using philz_touch_6.41.6-n5110).
You should be already on Kitkat Bootloader - Please read Civato's FlexBurst ROM thread about KK bootloader stuff and discussing. Please do NOT ask here again if you can use JB bootloader or not.
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!

Installation instructions
Warning!: You need to follow these instruction step by step, if you do NOT, you will have problem!
1. Download and copy JazzROM-GT-N5110-KitKat-v3.1.zip to your device (preferably on internal SD)
2. Please Backup (full nandroid!) your device, in case you wanted to revert back the way it was.
3. Reboot into PhilzTouch recovery
4. Do Wipe Data/Factory Reset in PhilzTouch recovery.
5. Do Wipe Caches in PhilzTouch recovery
6. Go to Advance --> Whipe Dalvik Caches in PhilzTouch recovery
7. Flash the JazzROM-GT-N5110-KitKat, when it finishes, reboot your tablet
8. Once your tablet reboots, don't touch anything at least 15 mins, let the ROM settles down, so please wait..get a coffee or something..
8.1. After 15 mins later, now you can go thru your normal setup of your device, once initial setup is done, reboot it back into PhilzTouch recovery again, and do this two steps one more 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
your tablet first time. Enable multiwindow, and check multiwindow side bar, etc, and make sure multiwindow works. Click on Air Command Shortcut app, and click OK when it prompts you, once you done with it, close Air Command Shortcut app and now Pull out spen, make sure SPen Aircommand window shows up and click on each options and make sure all works (action memo, scrap booker, screen write, etc). Make sure check everything here, all working as it supposed, If there's problem, start over from Step 1 again...
*
10. Open Xposed installer and go to Xposed Framework, install Xposed framework, and when it prompts you to reboot, reboot your tablet.
11. Leave Synapse App (kernel tweaks) settings all default, I found out that default settings plays nicely with @Civato's Kernel.
12. Get the moded SystemUI, please see post#2 below for instruction. V3.0 comes with moded SystemUI, if you don't like it, flash stock one on post#2
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 for JazzROM
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

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...

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..

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.

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..

Pixel 1.3: Oreo Speciale!
After months of hardwork, debloating and experimenting, I can finally present to all you lovely people on XDA, Pixel ROM. This is by far the most debloated, lightest and Pixelified ROM for the Note 8 right now. This ROM has (according to me) the best battery life for a ROM til' this day.

Features of Pixel ROM
1. Google Calculator
2. Google Phone
3. Google Calendar
4. GCam 8.3: Everything Working
5. Google Chrome (Samsung Add-ons Removed)
6. Google Clock
7. Google Contacts
8. Google Files GO
9. Gallery (Modded)
10. G-mail
11. Google Keep
12. Google Lens (Works in Google Photos too!)
13. Google Maps
14. Google Messages
15. Eleven Music (Lineage)
16. Soundalive and AudioFX (Lineage)

Friends this is the last time I'll be working on Oreo. It has been
a pleasure, but we must move on to Pie. Thank you for all the support and a special thank you to @rohitdanda for all the help.
I shall see you on Pixel Pie!

Notes:
1. RAM management usually idles (on first flash) at around 3.8 GB free.
2. Total ROM size after unzipped is 2.6GB from 4.8GB STOCK!

4. The only theme engine that will work with this ROM is Substratum as Samsung Themes was removed.
5. Thanks to @ProtoDeVNan0 for the custom system UI animations! He is really epic.
6. The latest Phantom Kernel was used and also the latest Stock base so Performance is epic.
7. Please flash the ROM
8. After first boot, make sure you restart your device once.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the zip and download magisk.
2. Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache
3. Flash the zip with Magisk
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bugs: 26/01/2019
Gallery must NEVER be updated (disable autoupdate for Gallery in Play Store). If it did update and the icon become the Samsung Gallery one, goto Settings/apps/Gallery and on the top right corner there will be 3 buttons, which when clicked gives the option to uninstall updates for the app.
Youtube Review:
Special thanks to Geovanny Fernandez on that

Download the rom to your pc or to your phone sd card. Extract the rom zip Pixel ROM V1.1 Copy the extracted zip and paste it into the TWRP folder into your phone via file manager. Take your rom backup before flash a new rom and move the backup to your SD Card. Boot to the recovery and wipe ONLY System, Data, Dalvik Cache and Cache. NOW go to restore backup and restore the zip who have extract into twrp folder. Is defernt way to "flash a rom" this is not the classic way. The first boot need 5 minutes before the phone open. Maybe next versions have aroma installer. Is possible.
Im sorry but your directions are beyond confusing. Are you telling us hat we need to use our current boot img and put it in the rom to boot it?

Ok the basic and easy way to understand this is, thst you are restoring the ROM. Except you are wiping data so you can have a fresh start. So unzip the ROM (basically the folder). Then move the folder to your TWRP folder which in my case is TWRP/backups/988a1b35434255384d30/. The set of numbers at the end will be different for everyone but place the ROM folder in the last directory. The reason I ask you to make a backup of boot is so the final folder directory is created because it isnt there by default. You do not RESTORE the boot img backup you create any point or time. The unfortunate fact is that making a flashable zip is not easy, which is why I released it as a restorable ROM. Sorry for the delays, hope y'all enjoy the ROM!
Everyone, if you need assistance come to my new telgram group. I will help you when I can with any problem and feel free to ask me any questions! :https://t.me/joinchat/G-BflEMjGlgp1NeWxDA2bA
I got it installed, so what I did was I unzipped the ROM into the twrp folder that contained the boot image I just backed up. I then wiped and restored.

Well obviously duh XD. I will probably make version 2 with One UI and ever since Samsung changed their Ui it looks very close to stock, especially the notification panel, so I will probably do this again. Just remember though that this takes a very long time, mainly due to the amount of crapware and heavy deep debloat I have to do everytime. I've had to individually inspect and remove permissions because some apps framework still started up in the background and THAT ANNOYED ME. So everyone please hit that thanks button it really helps and also once again, Merry Xmas everyone ?
