This here is a fast, slim, and VERY stable Froyo 2.2.1 ROM Based on the KD1 firmware for the Sidekick 4G. This was built with the idea of making the Samsung software functional with as little Touchwiz as possible, knowing how much samsungs overlay on android can bog the phone down and this ROM is proof of it. I've taken a lot out and themed what was left.
With that being said, most touchwiz/Samsung specific crap is removed. This is an AOSP clone so there is extremely minimal bloat and any unnecessary apps you don't expect to find in an aosp ROM most likely isn't in here.

Download:TouchMIUIwizPDT-v3.0 [AospMod].zip (129.37 MB)
What is TouchMIUIwiz v3.0 [AospMod] ?
its Exactly the Same ROM as the GCv2 AospMod, without the gingerbread theming. ALL theming from framework to icons are TouchMIUIwiz v3.0 but has same apps from GCv2 AospMod, not more, not less. The Boot animation is a Normal M Logo, and the shutdown is the same as TouchMIUIwiz v3.0. This would be for anyone who likes the lightness and feel of gingerclone v2 and want the look of TouchMIUIwiz. They have the same tweaks and all apps are up to date. All lastest updates are included as well. Anything left if themed like TouchMIUIwiz v3.0. Also, its a ROM not a flashable theme.

Install Instructions
Instructions - NOTHING NEW, if you know the drill then go ahead and install.
- 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 you are on the orange CWM, (Not RED voodoo CWM from Bali) if on red CWM 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 - this is the ONLY mount you pay mind to, not Sdcard or anything else
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Now its safe to Flash the .zip
(AGAIN IGNORE UNLESS IF YOU ARE ON A RED VOODOO RECOVERY) 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
(Optional but recommended)-Wipe Cache then Wipe Dalvik Cache from advanced menu in CWM before Rebooting.
(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

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

this rom by far has the smoothest feel to it, and the green color plus AOSP is definitely a nice theme.
the rom is a nice change and especially if you like v1 of gingerclone you will love this.
i reccomend trying it out i haven't noticed any bugs yet.

That's odd. With this ROM I haven't gotten too much below 1600, I get 1700+ average on quadrant but I get 2100+ when overiclocked at 1.152 Ghz
When you flashed the ROM did your lagfix enable ?

yeah, running smooth and fast, and no bugs here either. i was wondering if there was a way to get one of your black Google Search bars in this ROM? i have tried pasting them in from your previous ROMs, but nothing seems to work.... not a big deal, just wonderin'.
thanks as always for the great work. i like the Gingerbread messaging app, just like CM7, lol.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: How do i get 2G/4G icons?
A: Inside /system/app, is an apk called "AltSystem". This is a very small theme engine theme that i built and should show in Theme Chooser. To
get 2G/4G icons, go to Theme Chooser, and apply AltSystem. All it does is swap out the data icons, doesn't touch anything else.
Q: This is my first time installing your ROM, and i'm stuck in a bootloop. I chose to install Harsh's kernel. Help!!
A: STOP, reboot into recovery, and re-install. This time, select stock CM9 kernel. Once it's booted, you can go back and install Harsh's kernel separately. It happens very randomly.
Q: This has ROM Control, so can I use AOKP Backup? It says it's not a AOKP ROM.
A: Well of course it isn't an AOKP ROM, but i can confirm that AOKP Backup now works with Genesis. IDK if Romann fixed it so ROMs w/ RC can use it
or what, but it has been brought to my attention that the latest version of AOKP Backup works fine, just continue through the warning and backup/restore away.
Q: Which baseband does this ROM support?
A: March 2012 and below. If you are currently on the March 2012 baseband, then make sure you select the "March 2012" option under Baseband support in AROMA.
If you're still on the old baseband (like me) then you don't have to do anything. The "Anything before 2012" option is selected by default
Q: Why doesn't Bluetooth calling work?
A: Because you're probably on the March 2012 baseband. BT calling doesn't work on anything above 2.3.4 when you're on the March 2012 baseband.
Q: Why do I hear a weird popping noise when I'm in a call?
A: Because you're probably on the March 2012 baseband and you didn't select the correct option in Aroma.
Q: Why is video playback choppy?
A: Because we need hardware acceleration, and until we get the necessary drivers, stuff like that won't right.
Q: Why can't i record video?
A: See above answer....
Q: Why do you not recommend using these wipe tools prior to flashing Genesis
A: It has been addressed here:
Mr. Apocalypse said:
Ok, this is my take on these wipe tools if anyone wants to know why:
I know i can't speak for the rest of the developers here so i've put this in my thread. There's nothing wrong with the CWM way of wiping. As a former kernel dev, when CWM had to be built with the kernel, i've seen the source for the wiping methods, and they work just fine. A manual /data wipe and factory reset did it's job. A manual /system wipe wasn't really needed because in most, if not all CM9 or AOSP based roms you'll see this line in the updater-script:
Code:
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1", "0");
Which basically formats the /system directory before the new rom is extracted. If a dev includes any other wipe commands in the updater-script to wipe data, cache, etc. they are the same ones used by CWM. So it falls under the category of "If it ain't broke don't fix it". CWM methods of wiping before flashing have worked fine since it's creation.
However, sometimes it needs a little thorough cleaning, or maintenance between flashing the hell out of it. That's when i think the tools are good. Every once in a blue moon, sure you can Nullify, or use Cleanup Batch. But not between EVERY SINGLE FLASH, or when when the smallest thing goes wrong.
Now, there seems to be an issue when using one of these tools, and immediately flashing an ICS rom. Not everyone experiences it, but some have. To make sure we're all starting from the same slate, and to ensure EVERYONE has an equally, smooth flash of Genesis, i strongly encourage you NOT to use one of these tools prior to flashing Genesis. Use the wipe tools provided in ClockworkMod Recovery. I know people have their own beliefs and that's ok . But this is my ROM, and if you choose to flash my ROM, i ask that you respect the recommended installation instructions that come with it, so we all can enjoy it, and report what's wrong or what needs to be fixed, since it's still in Beta stages.
Now that i have said this, i will not reply to any posts that have anything to do with a bad install IF they have used these tools prior to flashing. I can't provide support for them since i didn't make them. With that being said know that i have nothing against these tools or it's developers. I'm all for people learning stuff about Android, and we're all here to make stuff a bit easier for people who use this phone, since LG doesn't care. But all i'm saying is to avoid problems that COULD come up and stop using these tools between every flash.
Just my opinion....

Q: What's the deal with AROMA? Do i need CWM Touch for it to work?
A: AROMA is a special type of binary that CWM reads and launches in the zip. I've started using it as a way to keep everyone happy with options. Install the stuff you want, don't install the stuff you don't want. The choice is completely up to you. You don't need CWM Touch for AROMA to work, but it's cherry with it.
Q: Why is the download so big?
A: AROMA is why. All those options have to be somewhere, and they are all packaged in the ROM zip itself. Yes it may take a bit longer to download, but that's because it comes with so many extras and options. Personally, i think it's worth it.
Q: Why does my phone reboot when i try to enable UMS(USB Mass Storage)? I'm using the stock kernel.
A: Because you're using the stock kernel. UMS needs support on both ROM & kernel side to work on ICS. It's been handled on the ROM side, so you gotta flash a custom kernel (like the latest Harsh kernel) to use UMS. Otherwise all you'll get is reboots on stock kernel because it doesn't know what UMS is.
Q: What's the deal with Tablet Mode??
A: Dual Pane works great, big thanks to owain94! To access it, you must set the LCD density to 128 in ROM Control -> GeneralUI -> LCD Density. Follow the instructions there. However, com.android.Phone.apk WILL crash when receiving a phone call while in Table Mode. There is a modified Phone.apk floating around that fixes this issue, however i need find the source of the modification so i can merge it myself. Too many things like ROM Control stuff and Quiet Hours stuff is plugged in Phone.apk, and i'm not sure they would work well with this modded Phone.apk. So use it at your own discretion for now, i'll be searching for a permanent fix, but i may have to kang owain94 again once he posts his source.
Nice man! Big time bionix user can't wait to boot her up
Will report back. Thanks for your time and effort.

You can flash any kernel that's for ICS.
booted running right now, obvious issues are there, I have the data/wifi drop and come back with in 10 seconds but annoying still lol (happens on all ICS I've tried). Wifi calling is still a no go for me as well, rotate in the browser caused the weird exiting of the application. That's about it very nice especially for a first beta, quick and clean definitely. All on stock kernel for now.
Edit: just clicked on:settings>performance, setting has stopped...
I this is a great initial release and I'm positive it will only get better anything mr apocalypse releases is gold can't wait for your next release

From Bionix and now this?! Awesome man, great to see your work again!
I love how ICS Rom's are multiplying! Thanks for your hard work on this!
Coming from AOKP b31, it's great to see the camera working! I'll detail my experience (and bugs) as I come across them, thanks for the ROM dude!
Btw, REALLY dig the mix of AOKP features in a CM-based ROM!
Frakkin' awesome dude, I'm playin' around at work and will give this a shot as soon as I backup
This is so cool, where LG and TMO left the G2x for dead, Developers still keep it rolling!
Bug report:
When trying to set a lockscreen wallpaper in ROM Control, it crashes right after you crop the picture. This was a bug in AOKP but was fixed since build 30. I've attached a logcat to see if it helps.

No problem man. ALL ICS ROMs have issues. Still, liking the ROM so far!
EDIT: Long-pressing the Home button doesn't show the Recent Apps menu. Do you need a logcat for that?

INTRODUCTION

Click to collapse
Please read this Post #1, Post #2, Post #3 not once, but multiple times. This is a Daily Driver ROM, for those who have been with EMBRYO series of ROM, it is pillar of high quality, so updates will be few and far between. Please see Post #2 for ChangeLog and features. NOTE: THIS IS SAMSUNG TouchWiz Framework based ROM.
STANDARD DISCLAIMER: You are flashing this on your own free will.
If you are new to flashing on the Skyrocket, please read the Stickies in this forum to get familiar with the terms. Also, before you ask a question come back to the OP to check if I have updated it, before you post, as I do update it frequently. Let's keep the post count less and relevant, do not waste a post by saying the ROM is great (I know it is great ), hit the thanks button or don't.
PACKAGING
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
EMBRYO-4.0 is a continuation of EMBRYO-3.2, based of Samsung leak UCLF5. So this is basically, a touchwiz interface with very little theming. EMBRYO-4.0, departs from it's previous versions, by being a very fat download. I have moved everything to /data partition, which mean you can delete the stuff that you don't want. This was mainly done, to give the option to you, instead of me dictating what should go in or not. But, Samsung and ATT bloat (except for a few apks), is definitely not there.

INSTALLATION
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please follow the installation instruction EXACTLY. Regardless of what you have read or followed, throw that away and please do NOT do any dark-side wipe, wiping cache 3x, etc, it is plain wasteful. If the recovery you are using is good, you should not have to do that.
Step 1) Backup, Backup. Do a Titanium Backup of all your apps. Do NOT backup system apps or data. I would also recommend a nandroid backup.
Step 2) Did you do Step 1)?
Step 3) Download the ROM. Please check the MD5SUM to be sure, the download link has the MD5SUM, added to OP.
Step 3a) Download any optional add-ons see the add-ons section. This way you can flash them right away.
Step 4) Copy the ROM and any add-ons you want to your internal or external SD Card. (if you downloaded them on a PC). Make sure you compare the sizes.
Step 5) Boot into recovery (the three finger salute or adb reboot recovery or if your existing ROM allows you to do that).
Step 6) In Recovery, go to "mounts and storage" and select "format /system" in the subsequent menu. Then select "yes" in the next menu that shows up. (NOTE: This is how it is in the recovery I use, yours maybe different, but the idea is format the "/system" partition).
Step 7) Then, issue "wipe data and cache" from the main menu. (The recovery I use does format "/data" partition and "/cache" partition in one shot, I use the touch recovery).
Step 8) Now, select the ROM zip (wherever you stored in Step 4)).
Step 9) Flash the ROM be patient....
Step 10) [OPTIONAL] Do NOT REBOOT yest. At this point flash any ADD-ON you want. This will replace any existing apps or mods that you want.
Step 11) Now you can Reboot.. Please BE Patient. You will see the touch lights light up (the cache is getting built). And then you should see the "Install Applications..." show up and all the apps that have been moved to data will be installed. DO NOT TOUCH ANY KEYS. Once it is installed, you will be presented with the Launcher Dialog asking you to pick the launcher you want. The ROM comes with the Galaxy S3 Launcher and the stock TWLauncher.
Step 12) As soon as you get the homescreen. Please "RESTART" the device, you need to do this to get the init scripts to run.
Step 13) I would strongly recommend making a TiBu backup as soon as you are done.
Step 14) Do any post installation tasks that you may need.
POST INSTALLATION TASKS
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Since a majority of the packages have been moved to /data. I would strongly recommend a TiBu backup, right away. As just in case you have to do a data wipe, you will get those apps back.
- The ROM does not come with any RADIOS, for good reason. It will leave your existing radio intact. See the radios section in this POST for all the available radios, they are all CWM flashable zips. Download, and flash in CWM, thats it.
- If you want to flash the stock kernel, flash it from the Kernels section. Again, is a CWM flashable zip. Download and flash in CWM that it, no extra steps needed.

First ! Thanks Mohan
Thanks Mohan! Downloading now.
I assume you still use the same recovery as previous Embryo versions.
Compatible with Cymbaline 1.5?
Great job on all the roms and other stuff you have put out.
1 question. when i install this rom on my phone, can i flash this over GB or do i have to do the latest odin 1 click ics? sorry if this is in the wrong place but i figure i would ask here since this is the rom i want to install.
Thanks.

Yes, I am using the same recovery as detailed in EMBRYO-3.2 thread. Although I have made it recovery agnostic, i.e. I am relying on really really basic recovery functions.

No dont move anything, just wait for some time or reboot..it should show up.... Also the weather widget is from SGS3, so it is quite possible you will have to remove and add it back, especially if you have restored the Apex settings back..
WORKAROUND: It looks the daemon does not start..workaround just add the AccuWeather widget into one of the HomeScreen and it should show up..and then you can remove the widget..
please upload picture from rom

Hi, dear friends!
Now I use SKY ICS 4.2F-6 with Cymbaline 1.5 kernel.
What this one in comparision with EMBRIO in power efficiency? I understand that it is a very subjective but what is Your own experience?
In generally, what is a reasons to move from ICS to Embrio?
Thank You all!
mohan,
I'm downloading now, but can you tell me whether or not you left in the in-call background noise suppression toggle in this ROM or will I need to flash a separate phone.apk? I still have the flashable zip from 3.2 that you created just in case it's needed and nothing has changed with the dialer.
Thanks for the new version of Embryo... my favorite Skyrocket ROM!

Stock 4.4.4 ROM (KTU849) for WiFi Nexus 7 (2012) Grouper
Hi! This was created using @dsixda's kitchen (which I had to tweak for our device to get working). This was created by unpacking the latest KitKat OTA (KTU84P) and adding SuperSU/busybox...
Featuring:
Stock Android 4.4.4 KTU84P for Nexus 7 (2012)
4-way power menu! Thanks @cargobr151 - Need to get an update or figure out how to do this for now hopefully we can use GravityBox...
Google Experience Launcher (GEL) or Launcher2 (NOGEL) - you will be asked which to use on first boot. Don't be afraid to pick "always use" you can change the default launcher at any time in Settings --> Home - What happened to GEL? Just grab the Google Now Launcher from play store (no room on /system partition)... If coming from a prior version with GEL and not wiping data you should be fine.
Busybox v1.22.1 (needed for Trickster MOD)
SuperSU 2.00 with latest SU binary

CAN flash with no wipe over any of my 1.0/1.1/1.2/1.2.2/1.3/1.5/1.6 builds and stock JWR66Y/KRT16O/KRT16S/KOT49H/KTU84L/KTU84P
Coming soon:
ART? (Sorry still no ART in 4.4.4 for our device! No overhead on /system partition...)
Advanced Power Menu
GEL baked in (again)?
NOTES:
BACKUP using TWRP and Titanium - save those files off the device to a USB stick external HDD or whatnot! Not responsible for lost data!
Be sure you are at bootloader 4.23 or you could have slow charge issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150251
ONLY TESTED USING TWRP 2.7.1.1/2.8.0.0 - NOTE there was a buggy release of 2.7.1.1 that doesn't play nice with the update-binary in my zip. If any issue flashing/booting first verify MD5 and then flash latest TWRP linked towards the bottom of this page http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/grouper. Should also flash fine under CWM but I personally prefer TWRP. A future update may move to the newer update-binary and updater-script files used in ROMs compiled from source like CM.
May need to unplug and replug USB cable to see Nexus 7 storage under My Computer! (or toggle MTP in Settings --> Storage --> Menu button in upper right)
If coming from STOCK 4.4/4.3 I can't think of a need to wipe - otherwise if issue or coming from another ROM (PA, CM, etc.) please do a data wipe and cache/dalvik-cache wipe
GApps are the stock ones that come with this tablet - no need to flash GApps.
You will see a BUNCH of updates when you sign into Google if you've wiped Data - results in an initial slowdown.
Before you ask, no ART doesn't appear to be working. I will make a new AOSP-based ROM for 4.4.4 for those wanting ART.
Thanks:
@dsixda for the Kitchen! (Consider donating to him work is paused on the kitchen he said due to health)

Use Trickster MOD Kernel Settings - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod
Recommended settings are at the bottom of the first post in the M-Kernel thread!
I like to use the tablet to read at night and the screen is far too bright for this so I use Lux Auto Brightness - try the free version before deciding to purchase - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitocassisi.luxlite
I use Titanium Backup (also purchased PRO Key) to backup my apps and data - once again try free before deciding to purchase - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
To keep SuperSU toast notifications from causing any lag I go into SuperSU settings and uncheck Show notifications
In Settings --> Location I set mode to Battery saving. There's a lot to tweak here but this is all I've been setting.
In Settings --> Security under DEVICE ADMINISTRATION I uncheck Verify apps and check Unknown sources (mostly for Titanium Backup purposes)
I use AdAway to block ads (it edits your HOSTS file). No longer available on the Play Store (guessing because Google doesn't like the fact it blocks Google Ads...). I install the APK from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190753. I just use the defaults works well.
This installed. Nice job. But my question is why does it not come with the experience launcher? Thanks

can i flash this straight from a 4.3 Rom, or do i need to go to stock first?
This is a nice rom but I can't get my tablet to charge. Any idea why?

Does auto-rotate works in this ROM? I tried stock + Go launcher and auto-rotate don't work, but only work when manual set to Horizontal or Vertical from Go launcher setting!
Is this based on the KRT**0 or KRT**M build?
First Impression
First Impression:
Unlike the other stock one, this installs..
Auto rotation works, No GEL not a deal breaker tho
Installed using MultiRom. No problems installing. Loads without errors, signed into Google. No problems. Recommended. Thank you. Nice work

Try the PA GApps package http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=7988
At time of writing the one to use is pa_gapps-full-4.4-20131118-signed.zip just flash it in recovery! Also be sure to turn on Google Now.

This is straight from the OTA last week which was KRT16O (zip name was 13088e35942c77e4752aa1fdf51d54472509b941.signed-nakasi-KRT16O-from-JWR66Y.13088e35.zip)
I will add some of this info to the OP. Thanks for trying it and feedback!:highfive:

Just added this to OP - charging issue is always bootloader as far as I know
Be sure you are at bootloader 4.23 or you could have slow charge issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150251

Xposed still doesn't support 4.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 But I will keep an eye on it! This is the first I've heard of it. Google \is moving away from all of the ICS blue theming everywhere, so you will see lots more white in 4.4...
I've just Flashed faux ultimate kernel and that's running great too very nice job you did here mate
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Thanks! My ultimate goal was to get a stock 4.4 where rotation works and the keyboard doesn't pop when going home from other apps (the stock rom PA released was awesome though if you ignore those things and came out WELL in advance of OTA)... To do that I had to wait for the OTA and then it took me 5-6 days learning edify and how to use the kitchen
I will try to get the google experience (I believe it is Launcher3.apk?) working if I cut a new release, and look into getting ART available in dev settings.
I just connected my nexus to my laptop to move a few files but it doesn't pop up on my laptop like it used to so I can't move things via the USB cable

[ROM][GTi9305][XXUENE4]27.6.2014[JB4.3] ▌Official Stock Rom ▌➤Rooted➤Customize guide!
Based on stock GTI9305 I9305XXUENE4 JB 4.3:
- Rooted, Deodexed, Zipaligned, Busybox added
- used AGNi or Boeffla Kernel
- isn’t cleaned from bloatware, but very battery friendly and smooth ...you can clean it yourself after following
- always locale CSC apps removed and unbranded
- without any mods, but read carefully following
Customize how you want an wish!
After install rom you can customize yourself with this guide:
Mods: easier way is use Xposed framework with Wanam Xposed. For example it included call recording, 4-way reboot menu, circle battery indicator and many many. Some screenshots also in attachment.
Very simple and short guide you'll find also in 2nd post.
Bloatware: you can do it yourself how you want through Es explorer or TitaniumBackup, what can you?, for example take inspiration from this post for S4, other you can find alone
Another and easier way is to use Rom cleaner according 2nd post (cleaning list attached)
Add-ons: last important thing is for me camera with hardware volume button, you can download and flash compatible Lite Camera mod from here. If you want add some another mod from i9300, you can me send link and I'll check compatibility, or modify for our model
All next it’s on your own risk!!!
Download:
I9305XXUENE4_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_AGNi_3_54_SELPermissive
- used AGNi Kernel v3.5.4 SELinux Permissive (compatible with Old and New Bootloader)
- if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
Older Official Rom:
I9305XXUENC2_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_AGNi_3_54_SELPermissive
- used AGNi Kernel v3.5.4 SELinux Permissive (compatible with Old and New Bootloader)
- if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
I9305XXUENC1_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_AGNi_3_6_SELPer
- used AGNi Kernel v3.6.0 SELinux Permissive (compatible with Old and New Bootloader)
Warning: if you before flash official Rom 4.3 via Odin you have new bootloader. You must on above Roms immediately after flash of Rom (before first boot) flash and then use right stock kernel from HERE!
I9305XXUENA2_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_Boeffla51stable …...if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
I9305XXUEML9_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_Boeffla51b13 …...if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
I9305XXUEML8_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_Boeffla51b122 .....if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
I9305XXUEMKC_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_Boeffla51b7 …..if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
I9305XXUEMKC_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgd_Boeffla51b4 ...attention this is version without 5 Shortcuts on LockScreen!!!
Install:
- first of all backup all your data from internal SD card, 4.3 has different structure tree!!!
- if you go from 4.1.2 or older I recommend format internal card, if you don’t do it, on internal card were by me still data (DCIM etc...) and you can’t normal access them on 4.3, but even without formatting you can later move them from old folder to new one in 4.3 with Aroma file manager , for me easer way without format. Also is possible, that date will move automatically – also me happened
- bee sure, that you have EFS backup!!!
- create NanDroid backup to external card!!!
- download the *.zip file to external card!
- if you have new Bootloader download also Stock kernel
- download to Recovery
- ROM isn’t full wipe, but is recommended if you get from 4.1.2 and older
- wipe cache and Dalvik cache is automatically included in last version
- select ZIP file from external card and install
- don’t use re-root after installation inside recovery - you don’t need it, if you'll do, then you need install again SU apk from market
- reboot and wait and wait ...
- enjoy it
PS: if you get format system() error in CWM use last PhilZ Recovery
Note: if your camera doesn't work primary follow this (thanks @Hbohd and @P$T), if you don't have incriminated file, flash again Rom then immediately right Stock kernel from HERE - wifi doesn't work with old bootloader, then take photo, then flash again Rom without full wipe with kernel which you like. If your camera still doesn't work flash some Rom 4.1.2 (via Recovery or Odin) take picture, grab and backup incriminated files, then flash this Rom and put them to data/cwm. Don't forget backup your SlimISP_XX.bin for future. Problem with camera have average only cca 10 users JB 4.3 of 1000 usr..
Info for dev's:
If you want this Rom, or part, use as base for your Rom, just give me credit to your OP

Guide Rom cleaner:
- download ROM Cleaner v2.0 from original Rom cleaner post
- download user cleaning list ROMCleaner_user.txt from attachment
- edit ROMCleaner_user.txt only with OfficeSuite directly in mobile or Notepad ++ how you want
….this is "hardcore" cleaning list (I thing more isn’t possible). You can also it edit only with Notepad++. See into list what you want leave in your Rom a add in front of some *.apk this letter # may not be red . I wanted for example leave AccuweatherWidget.apk, then It will bee so #AccuweatherWidget.apk . Or leave another how it’s and you’ll get cleanest and fastest Rom.
- create on external card folder ../ROMCleaner (must bee exactly named), put there ROM_Cleaner_v2.0.zip and list ROMCleaner_user.txt from atachment
- reboot to recovery and flash ROM_Cleaner_v2.0.zip and use it, list will be automatically loaded and Rom cleaned from cca 330 Mb (more than 180 apks and files)
What remains after cleaning is seen in attachment.
You should NOT remove KNOX Apps if you´r on NEW BOOTLOADER! Use ROMCleaner_user - for users with Knox Bootloader.txt from attachment and after download rename it for ROMCleaner_user.txt
Nearer guide how it use you’ll find in original Rom cleaner thread
If you something screw up, nothing happened, flash again Rom without wipe
Good luck.
