For my new ROM please go HERE
Installation instructions & other useful information
To install on your Evo:
1. Copy OmegaEVO_v1.0_by_Ricsim78.zip to the root of your SD card.
2. Shut off your phone and boot into recovery.
3. Do a full wipe (Data, cache, Dalvik, SD Ext.) Do it twice to be sure if you want to!
4. Install OmegaEVO_v1.0_by_Ricsim78.zip. It should take a few minutes to install.
5. Reboot the phone. It should take a long time to start up the first time. Please be patient!
6. If all goes well, enjoy your new ROM!
7. If not, start over from step 2 after pulling your battery.
To install a custom kernel: Let the ROM load up first and then reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. Then install the custom kernel and reboot.
To install a theme: Let the ROM load up first and then reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. Then install the theme and reboot.
How to backup and restore using Titanium backup Here is the method I use to backup my phone information before I wipe and install a new ROM
I backup my entire phone with a batch "Backup all user apps + system data"
Wipe and install the new ROM,
I open Titanium Backup (TB) and give it super user rights.
I hit "Updates?" in TB and make sure I am running the latest.
I hit "Problems?" in TB and make sure I am using Busybox 1.60
Hit menu and select batch
Select "Backup all new apps + newer versions of apps", if any.
Select "Restore missing apps with data"
Go over the list and make sure you are restoring only what you want
Hit run batch operation
After it completes, go back into TB and backup restore.
Restore contacts twice
Restore MMS twice
Restore Mail twice
If any of the 3 above do not take, do it again
Restart your phone
Verify mail, MMS, and contacts restored. If not, restore again.
Why Amon RA and not Clockwork recovery?
Clockwork does not wipe the Dalvik properly (if at all). I personally have had nothing but problems with both Clockwork and ROM manager
I have said countless times that if you use either of the above, it is at your own risk. Install Amon RA recovery and I bet any wiping/installing problems will go away.
If you already are using ROM manager, pick the option to install a custom recovery, choose Amon RA 1.8. If that option is greyed out, reinstall the latest Clockwork then install RA.
Note: Do not do a fix permissions with anything unless you need to, you can screw stuff up that way.
Trust me, the new ROM is devoid of problems (I have never tested a ROM this much before releasing it). If you experience any, it is either something you are doing wrong or incomplete wipes thanks to your recovery not doing it's job properly.
What is the proper method to install the ROM and other things (kernels, themes, and mods, etc.)
Lets say you want to add a kernel, a theme, and then a clock modification.
Nandroid first!
ROM: Wipe data, cache, Dalvik (twice), SD:EXT.
Install the ROM.
Let the ROM load up the first time.
Sign into your Google account
Let it sync
When the sync icon goes away, reboot into recovery.
In recovery, wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the theme
Reboot
Let it load all the way up again.
Reboot into recovery
In recovery, wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the kernel
Reboot
Let it load all the way up again.
Reboot into recovery
Wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the clock MOD
Reboot
This is my method and works every time without issue. Obviously, to install another item, you would repeat the process.
Hope this both helps and clarifies.
Which kernels work with this ROM?
Any that are designed for a Sense ROM. This includes:
Netarchy's
Kingclick's
Hero Over's
Ziggy's
HTC's
Which kernel do you recommend to use?
I cannot recommend a kernel for you because each EVO reacts different. The best for my phone can be the worse for yours.
You have to try the different ones available and pick the one that works best for you. What I do is start with their latest and work your way down until you find one that works well. Then stick with it.
This also goes for overclocking, SetCPU settings, etc.
Which themes work with this ROM?
Themes make your phone look nice but can also add problems to an otherwise smooth running ROM. You can use any theme you wish, but Nandroid first and if anything is broken, please do not blame the ROM as it is the theme that added the problem.
This includes my older modded themes and any theme made for 3.29 and 3.30 OTA updates They may work or they may work but break things.
Using my theme avoids this problem. It matches with my ROM perfectly and breaks nothing. Also, my theme is optimized for maximum speed and reduces the overhead of a theme (most themes are not optimized and add a bunch of stuff which increases system overhead, reduces battery life and speed a bit). As an added perk, it is a small download.
Hey, what gives? How come this ROM is saying it is 3.30.651.2 when I thought it was the 3.30.651.3 OTA?
3.30.651.3 is NOT a full ROM, it is a kernel and a few other minor changes. This is why the OTA is 7 MB or less instead of 160+ MB like a ROM usually is.
There is no issue, this is the 3.30.651.3 update. Hence the HTC # 17 kernel. Notice the screenshot in the first post also says that mine has 3.30.651.2? That is because basically this is a bandaid for a recently released OTA. That is why the number went up in the last decimal place. A major update would be like 3.31.XXX.X
sounds good, any screenies?

Well, without recooking it or using a theme (which would take out my wallpapers) no. Let me see if I can come up with a better solution. If not I will re-cook it with a different battery icon.
EDIT: Replacement battery indicator included in the first post for anyone who does not like the circle battery indicator the ROM is cooked with.

Thanks for the compliments and I am glad you like. There is 4 custom wallpapers included, I found them from Desktop Nexus and resized them to fit the Evo screen (960x800) using Paint.net for Windows 7.
You should also check out the custom ring tones and notifications!

That was how this ROM was born, I liked almost all of the ones on the board, but none had the ringtones, notifications, or wallpapers I wanted.
Problem solved! Glad to see it is working for everyone as well. I had no problems with this ROM, think it helps that it is based off the OTA and not a custom ROM.
I will keep this ROM updated. Future plans is to come up with a Sense removed, AOSP element version and add more customizations. I also need to update some of the apps (TB, to name one). I kept some of the stock Sprint stuff in just so no one had problems updating the Voicemail or other Sprint apps left in.
Please rate the thread and let me know if there is anything I should include, change, etc. etc.

Sounds good man, hehe. Please let me know what you think and I hope you like this ROM.
I begin work on the next version of Azrael today, expect version 2.1 out soon, By Wednesday I should have it tested out and ready to go.
Known changes I am going to be making:
-all apps updated
-battery indicator changed to Smooth battery with percentage (far more useful than the one Azrael 2.0 is cooked with and so far the only complain heard about this ROM) *knock on wood*
-Another custom wallpaper or 3 thrown in for good measure
Whatever changes I make, I will of course note them in the release notes.
I also want to get some more theme options available, maybe modify some themes so they do not take out my custom wallpapers. That way you can make this ROM more how you want it to be as well.
I really hope everyone who tries this likes it, I know I am up there with some really good ROM makers here that have far more reputation, but so far everything has been positive and I hope that at least a few people find my work useful.
Lastly, I am glad to offer another ROM option and give back to a community that has given me much.

CM6 Extender was put together to enhance CM6 with a few small tweaks, but not make any major changes to the UI. Everything included can be found around the xda-developers forums, or directly from the developer, for free. I just combined them into a single zip that can be flashed in place of the GAPPS zip when installing CM6. Changes to stock CM6 below.
Includes all latest Google Apps (GAPPS)
Removed Facebook/Twitter (because they are easily found/updated in the market, makes sure you always have latest version)
Removed ADW Launcher, Replaced with LauncherPro 0.7.6.0
Replaced kernel with CM6-Snap-v7.4-havs875/OC/UV http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733099
Added SNAP-widget by spiicytuna to manage/monitor it
Replaced Default Keyboard with Droid-X Multitouch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754948 (White with green highlights)
Creates a folder in your SD card with installers for Swype 1.61 and HTC Sense KB with 2.2
Added ES File explorer (To install those keyboards)
Added MSL Reader (Donate to the dev link within app)
Added Flashlight Alerts by apristel (not enabled by default, Donate to dev by purchasing from market) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699978
Added Sprint TV
I will update Snap kernel once the 8.0 battery issue is solved.
Please donate to the CyanogenMod team at http://www.cyanogenmod.com/
Recommended Instructions:
1. Back that NAND up!
2. Do a full data wipe from recovery.
3. Flash CM6 (update-cm-6.0.0-Supersonic-signed.zip)
4. Flash CM6_Extender.zip
5. Reboot, enjoy
Updated: Moved LauncherPro to Data folder due to stability problems having it in the RO System folder. Also moved ES File explorer and Sprint TV to data folder so you can uninstall them if you want. (You can also download ADW launcher from the market and uninstall LauncherPro).
Also added a bunch of wallpapers to the SD card folder. A bunch of CM wallpapers plus the Galaxy S Wallpapers (all static)

Was it a syntax error by chance? I've gotten that a few times. Been trying to figure out a permanent fix.. will re-upload when fixed..
EDIT: I think I've got it. Updating with Snap 8.1, then a new upload coming.
EDIT again: Snap 8.1 is causing a ton of boot loops for me. I'll try and fix this tomorrow night :/
After reboot, I get the HTC screen and then nothing. Have to remove battery to get anything to work again (at which point, the same scenario occurs unless I boot into recovery mode).
Never mind - I just realized this was for EVO's only. I'm using the Hero.
sucks i cant run 875 but i can run 8.1 900 for some odd reason when i try to flash the other kernel over the extender its gets a error after the intial setup page and screen goes black then i restart it and get bootloop... o well i really just want the keyboard i found it though thanks is there a way to remove adw launcher and use launcher pro?
nevermind...

The new Snap 8.1 kernel was EXTREMELY unstable for both me and my gf, so I'm skipping this version. I'm going to try the one he posted earlier today without HAVS and see if it works any better. It would boot loop every 30 seconds...
I'll also put in the new google voice with widgets while I'm at it.

I actually put in hulu in the beginning and it didn't work.. I couldn't figure out why after a good amount of tinkering, so I took it out.. Perhaps I'll give it another try soon.
I am having an issue. I am trying to install MyBackup Pro to restore my settings and apps from my CM6 nightly ROM and every time it starts to install the app, the phone locks up and shows the cyanogenmod loading screen and then launcherpro restarts. Any ideas?
Changing the wallpaper also locks it up. It was stuck in a loop where the launcher was crashing out to the cyanogenmod screen and then wouldn't start and then back to the cyanogenmod screen. This lasted for about 3 minutes.
Well, I tried reflashing it and now I'm worse off than I was. Can't get past the setup step. Keeps boot looping then crashing. I have been using this thing for 20 min and have already had more force closes than I have the last week and a half on my previous nightly. I give up.
Benjio12 it looks like you are attempting to simplify my life. Thank you for the tweeks I'll make sure to ck it out and follow this thread.
8.2 kernel and battery life?
Do you know if the new 8.2 kernel has resolved the battery issues and if so would you be willing to make an updated zip?

Ok I installed this patch and after placing the widget my phone became laggy and the HTC dialer will not install.
I'm running a clean slate of cm6.0 but it doesn't install. I even dropped it in system/apps/. The droidx installs, its the default when you first boot.
What do I do?
DI14_pick-n-pack_0.2 ROM for the Samsung Mesmerize
I have reworked this ROM to make it a little easier to work with. In the 0.2 version, you will be able to flash the main package without any need to add files like in the 0.1 version. As for the removed apk files, they are now flashable either individually or in packs depending on what they are. I felt this would be an easier way to still get what you want but not having to put things together before flashing.
I still recommend that you take a backup before you flash anything. I am not responsible for any damage you do to your phone while flashing any or all parts of this ROM. I also recommend that you download both the ROM and Addons at the same time so that you do not have to wait for a second download after you have already flashed the ROM.
Also, to be clear since there has been confusion, MMS is 100% functional in this ROM because it uses stock MMS, not AOSP.

Download the ROM and Addons. Unzip the Addons and decide which packs you want to flash. Put the ROM and individual Addons on your sdcard and boot into recovery. Flash the ROM first. Then you can flash the Addons individually. When you are done, reboot. If the phone hangs at the boot animation for more than 5 minutes, pull the battery, do three button to get back to recovery and do a data wipe/factory reset. Reboot and things should be fine.

Awesome! I'm reading up some more on how to flash these roms in and I plan on using this one. I'm new to this and just learning.
I installed ROM Manager and installed "flash clockworkmod recovery" (it said I had to) and then I clicked backup current ROM. I have tried twice, and it said failed each time.
I'm afraid to try it again, as I don't want to ruin my phone.
Any ideas?

Try going in to recovery by turning off the phone, hold the power and volume down button. Once in recovery, select apply sdcard:update.zip. That should get you get you to clockwork recovery. From there select install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard. Find the zip and flash it.
Let me know if that works.

Thanks. That was my thinking. A lot of people were asking for apps to be put back in to jt's super clean ROM so I figured this was the easiest way that anyone could just drop in what they want and it would be custom tailored to their needs.
Since I've seen over 200 people look at the page but only 2 download the package, I'm thinking that there's got to be something to the hesitation. Feedback is welcome here, and encouraged. If this is too scary and people want something that they can just flash, throw some ideas out to me. I'm definitely open to suggestions.
I think the holidays may have something to do with it. Personally, I plan to use this once I get my phone rooted (for some reason z4root locks my phone up every time) But I want to wait until the rushing, travelling holiday is over because I cant go without my phone =)
I'm happy with the SuperClean Rom and Voodoo 5 right now, otherwise I'd have given this one a shot.
I'm still using this and I have had no issues. I like being able to choose which programs are going to be on my droid, instead of having all or none that I want.
I am getting same errors also..
I have done super one click..
Run Rom Manager and chose ROM it asks to reboot I get error.
When I choose SD update.zip it boots back into a image that has sceens that have black widgets.. All other Samsung and USSC stuff is still there as well as ROM Manager..

You have to do some work on the files to make ROM Manager working.
Get Clockwork Working
That will let you make the backup.zip and install from the SD card. Threw me for a loop as well.
One thing I do not want to lose or at least be able to find in another app is the SMART ALARM ..
I know... I got used to it in just a couple days. Love the way it sort of eased you awake instead of a full on GET UP..
So question would be. Which apk and dependencies would I need to keep and or anyone know of another app that would give me same with more options.
Welcome to the Second &nd My Second Custom ROM for the Sidekick 4G
This is my Version of a Gingerbread/SGSII Clone that i have put alot of work into and took alot of time to get this theme how i wanted it.
it is HIGHLY Recommended that You update to this ROM From Smooth Maximus X.
For the many that like the SMX Theme and themed apps it will be posted in themes and apps section soon to flash over this ROM
MORE SCREENSHOTS Are HERE !!
INFO
Base: SK4G.KD1/SGS4G.UVKD1 2.2.1
Rooted with Modded Recovery to enable flashing into CWM
Deodexed 100%
All Apps Optimized and zip-aligned
Framework Optimized and Zipaligned
All System apps Up to date
Debloated (Like Smooth Maximus X)
Kernel: Bali 2.2
Modem: KD1
Custom Theme based on Gingerbread made by me (Mostly Built From Xperia Arc, AOSP 2.3, and SGSII 2.3 Gingerbread, With my own little touch)
SGSII System App icons
SGSII Live Wallpapers + More
Nexus S Ringtones and Notification + Added more Alarm Sounds.
Nexus(S) Boot Animation + Custom Nexus Shutdown with sound.
Build.prop Edits (Changed Default Ringtones/Notifications, Changes to improve scrolling + UI performance + much More)
Stock/Default Font
Stock Transitions/Animations
Many init.d tweaks for better overall performance.
Additional INFO
Gallery images will load so fast ! (after first reboot, all tweaks should kick in)
Unlocking has never been so smooth ..
The Only Launchers Included is LauncherPro (Amazing, see in the market to see what its capable of.)
And Touchwiz4.5 Launcher by Fr4gg0r! (Also Amazing, See the Original Thread to See what it can do)
Phone now instantly rings when someone dials out/calls your number
Wifi scan interval inscreased by 20% to save battery (changed from 1 min scan to 1.2 min scan)
Most apps are stock (Unthemed, but with themed icons from SGSII)
AOSP Apps: Email, Clock, Calculator.
Some apps themed to look like SGSII Twiz and not the Custom SK4G Twiz (nothing too much)
For those who care about quadrant scores you can get anything from 1250-1550 Just like with Smooth Maximus X
Overall this ROM is Based on Smooth Maximus X which is very fast, but i've made ALOT of changes and testing the edits i made. Things like apps staying in memory, scrolling stutters, pulldown stutters and Much more have been improved and i honestly dont see how it can get better from here (But you decide lol). This will be my flagship ROM so if/when i come up with ideas/mods/tweaks it will be updated for this ROM and Not Smooth Maximus X unless i decide to make time for it.

A - Yes you Have to Wipe but if you dont want to loose that data you can Make a nandroid Backup before wiping your Data, Follow the install instructions and install the ROM. Right after the ROM Boots, reboot into recovery and go to backup and restore > advanced restore > *choose backup* > restore data then Reboot and your data is Back to the way it was before you wiped.
___________
Q - im having trouble Downloading a .zip file (or any other file format) from the Browser, What do i do ??
A - Go to the Market and download astro file manager. go to preferences and enable browser to download any file types. Then Download whatever you was trying to download.

Install Instructions: Read Carefully.
* First Off, its ALWAYS good to keep a nandroid backup incase you run into a problem.
if you dont already know how to, Do it From CWM recovery. Go to Backup/restore > Backup and it will backup your phone system ,data ect and you can restore it back to this state From CWM whenever you want. *

Flash though CWM - Just Like Smooth Maximus X
Instructions -
- Put zip file in your /sdcard
- Reboot into cwm recovery
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
(Optional but recommended to prevent any minor issues)-Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM
*Now before you Flash, Only if this is your FIRST time Flashing a Custom ROM otherwise ignore the mounts/unmount part*
MAKE SURE YOUR MOUNTS LOOK LIKE THIS: (Go to mounts and storage from CWM recovery)
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
MOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Now its safe to Flash the .zip
(Optional but recommended)-Wipe Cache then Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM before Rebooting.
(AGAIN IGNORE UNLESS THIS IS your First time installing a custom ROM) after you flash, go back to mounts and storage and make sure your mounts look like this
UNMOUNT CACHE
MOUNT DATA
UNMOUNT SDCARD
UNMOUNT SYSTEM
(To First Time installers, System Needs to be set to Unmount, though it would really be mounted. If you do Not do this you will have a softbrick and will have to ODIN to stock and start all over ....) Once you have Flashed a Custom ROM or Bali 2.2 Kernel you dont have to worry about mounts
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
AFTER THE ROM BOOTS, i Recommend letting it sit for about 5 mins without use so cache and stuff builds back up, then log into google from gmail/market or someway, let google sync for 5 mins then reboot again. then you will have your Sidekick 4G in the best state its ever been

the color scheme in my pictures are messed up a little im sorry but you get the idea of the rom
I posted this in the general section, but no one has answered it. Please release the platypus egg kernel as a .zip file or post a link to where I can download the kg2 odin file so that I can flash the bali port. I want voodoo and refuse to flash an entire rom just to get voodoo.
check the heimdall thread i have it posted there last 2 pages
heimdall isnt working on my computer unless you posted an odin file in that thread its not going to help me.
Unless you are in love with the Samsung launcher vs. GOv2's Launcher Pro (or my preferance: download ADW.Launcher), there is no reason not to upgrade to GOv2 and get all the other tweaks in addition to the Kernal.
I know you say you've had trouble in the past, but just try it like this:
1) Boot in to CWM with the GOv2 zip on the sdcard.
2) Check your mounts
3) Run a backup
4) Check your mounts
5) Wipe data, wipe cash, wipe dalvik-cache
6) Check your mounts
7) Flash GOv2
8) Check your mounts
9) Advanced-Restore data partition only
10) Check your mounts
11) Reboot
Best case, everything works great and you just upgraded the Kernal as well as many other good things / tweaks, while still keeping all your apps and all your config.
Worst case, just boot in to CWM and restore what you currently have. You only waste about 15min of your life in trying, and I don't see how GOv2 could have any drawbacks over stock+bali (other then the alternate Launcher and themed icons/widgets - I installed AWD, unthemed all my icons, and I love the transparent-black widgets).
You should NEVER need to Odin unless you can't get in to CWM (which should never happen).
NOTE: When I say check your mounts, each partition on that CWM page should read "unmount" (meaning they are currently mounted). Check your mounts before/after each step, including before the final reboot.
I know how to check mounts. I want to keep touchwiz because of the themes. I really like the stock themes, and none of the launchers from the market have the option to view the app drawer as a list. if they did, i would consider using one of them. the stock themes are not really what is important. viewing the app drawer as a list is. my process thus far has been as follows: odin to kd1, kies to kj2, root, backup, flash rom, then restore system only from the backup. it hasnt been stable enough so far, but right now i am considering trying it a little different. i am going to get back to stock kj2, then delete all bloatware and all google apps from the system, then backup, then flash, then restore system from the backup, then reinstall any apps i want from the market. I also have the .apk file for play store, so i am also going to delete market and market updater before backing up. then after restoring system, i am just going to install google play store from my sd card. if anyone has any thoughts, please respond soon. i already odined back to kd1, getting ready to do kies to kj2. that takes a few minutes as i have to unplug the phone from the pc and reinstall the drivers through kies.
But I would prefer to just flash the kernel. I dont see any reason why they wouldnt release it.
well, after a very lengthy and complicated process, i finally have the platypus kernel on kj2. here is what i did. i started kies mini but didnt plug my phone in yet. i just went to menu and install driver. then i odined. after reboot, unplug the phone, back to kies, install drivers again. plug phone in and update firmware through kies. after reboot, unplug and install driver again. turn on usb debugging and root through super one click. reboot. install drivers again. then go through the system and delete all google and tmobile apps. get cwm running and take a backup. connect mass storage and copy b2tb to sd card. flash according to instructions. reboot. let the phone sit while i walk my dog. come back, boot into recovery, select advanced restore, system only. fix permissions, wipe dalvik, reboot. reinstall desired apps through market website. that was all last night. today i supercharged. so far so good.
well, its been almost 24 hours since i finished everything up. stable so far. no random reboots, no force closes, no screen lag or freeze, no crashes. i kept my backup from before the flash, just in case. gonna give it another day or two to make sure everything really is stable, then take a backup of the current setup. once i do that, im leaving this phone the hell alone lol.
To clear the record, I never had trouble flashing roms except for once and it was because i flashed cwm through rom manager before i knew not to do that. my most recent trouble started when i attempted to move dalvik to my ext2 partition. something went wrong when i attempted to move dalvik, and it got deleted. i had a backup and tried to restore, but got an md5sum mismatch. i did a factory reset through voodoo and it screwed up my apn settings. i restored default settings, but it didnt work. so basically after much trial and error, i have a stable advice again.

i don't have a flashable zip unfortunately, but what i've been doing is flashing the zimage thru Odin. if that helps you at all, if you're comfortable with Odin, i've been meaning to upload the tar file for the kernel that i made to this thread:

Wait hold up, what am I thinking... had a little brain freeze there!. You could just use nxd's build of the Bali Kernel for KJ2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663622
That also has the keystroke logger removed, AND a patch to improve keyboard responsiveness and efficiency!

no problem, enjoy. if you haven't already, read the thread to see how to play with the timer and column delay settings for the keyboard!
Moved thread to general where it should be
I thought I would share you you the mods I have tried and got working with the google edition rom 4.2.2. As a disclaimer I am using the AT&T S4 Active with hash's safestrap. Please send me the mods you have tried that have worked, thanks!
Flash these at your own risk, I always recommend backing up first
1. Inverted google apps with more features for the MMS app here (use the Jelly bean files ONLY use the MMS apps, it is the only one confirmed to be working)
2.. Different battery icons (In theory these should work but they haven't been tested yet) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342628
3. Xposed module GravityBox will give you a LOT of mods
I am seeking a % battery mod with transparency built in. The only one I found had a ugly icon lol please let me know if you find it.
I really appreciate this, man! I was hoping someone would start a thread along these lines.

I am running SafeStrap 3.06 and GE AOSP ROM.
I just tried installing inverted apps (Contacts and Calendar) and a battery mod (Android with percentage) and now my ROM won't boot . It just sits at the nexus booting screen forever, guess one of those three don't work with this ROM. BTW I only installed the .zip flashable JB inverted apps, not the APK's they have listed.
Thanks for the info, but I'm going to stay clear of these for now - looks like I have to restore my backup I had made a few days ago (I should have made one before flashing these smh) - which sucks because I have to re-install and configure all my apps and home screen icons/widgets.
EDIT: I hopped into TWRP and restored ONLY /system not /data and it looks like the above mods were restored to stock and the ROM booted without an issue (it just had to re-initialize all my apps on first boot). I am not back up and running exactly as I was before I flashed those files above, didn't have to re-set anything up!
Now I'm off to do an UPDATED backup in TWRP so I can mess with stuff without having to worry... I'm still going to stay clear of these for a while though
I've had great luck using the Xposed module GravityBox. Allows for all sorts of stuff for AOSP ROMs.

It's really sweet. A lot of the tweaks, you don't even have to reboot the device after engaging. I do anyway, but only after a batch operation. Plus I love that I can see how a tweak works before rebooting.
This would be a great mod even if it only included the "Quick Settings" modding feature (the lack thereof was my only major dislike with this ROM). But the variety of other features make it a must-have for me.

This sounds awesome, modification of the quick settings is a must-have, I agree there. I'm just afraid to try anything else on this ROM until I can do a backup of it... as soon as I can do that, xposed is getting installed! lol There's a few features on there I've been wanting, from what I saw in the screenshots.
thank you
Try the power toggles app in the play store. it also has battery percent built in to the status bar. Very customizable. And looks like its skined for the aosp
