If it will say "application not installed" then you already have different version of Apollo installed.
To install this version either delete the app in normal way if it's possible.
If it isn't then go to:
/system/app delete old apollo from there and reboot.

Changelog 1.3:
High resolution artworks are being downloaded! No more low resolution images! (If some low resolution images remained then download them manually by tapping at the album/artist image)

Changelog 1.1(Apollo 07.01.2014 build by olokos.apk):
Loading already downloaded images finally works as it should! No more redownloads!
Propably further improved download times.
Massive strings fixes (about 100 fixed strings, that means even less FC's in other languages than english)
Performance improvements
SORT BY FILENAME!
1.0:
Initial version - not released as it's available anywhere on the internet.
Works great on Z1 whereas old version failed to download pictures.
Please post any feedback
Install as any other app. If you get "application not installed" error then uninstall old version of Apollo, reboot (not nessesary) and install again.
This is caused by different apk signature key, nothing to worry about.
If you have preinstalled Apollo (like in cyanogenmod) and you can't uninstall it using built-in app manager, then you have to do it in a different way.
1. Use any file Explorer with root access (eg. Root Explorer, es file manager etc.)
2. Go to /system/app/
3. Find Apollo.apk or anything like it and delete it.
4. Copy this apk to the same directory (/system/app/)
5. Set the rw-r--r-- permissions
(using root Explorer that would be
xxo
xoo
xoo
X for checked o for unchecked, other file explorers chmod 644)
6. Reboot and enjoy.
Press thanks if you liked it. It's the only way I know people like this except for comments(which are more welcome than thanks button )

Hemal Shah, @crashlytics Great guy! I was struggling to get Crashlytics to work for some uknown reason (I still don't know why it wouldn't work earlier) and he helped me to get it working in any way he could, but it wasn't only "do this and that". He actually approached me in a pleasant way, formal form became obsolete. I realised that you can actually read and write e-mails quickly. Thanks!
You can find my Apollo in:
19.04.-CALIBLACK - ROM - v1.3 - The Dark Projekt (KVT49L) (L5-e610/612) TEAM-OPTIMA
27.04.(E610/612)(ROM-KitKat-KVT49L) CALIBAN-CM 1.1 (CM11)-TEAM-OPTIMA!!!
[ROM] DS-MK6 v2.0 05/10/14 AT&T I317-UCUBMK6 Stock-Rooted-Deodex

[ROM][JB] Sami OS 1.2 - Codename: Alpha [July 7th, 2014]
Let me know about any other place you find it. I got asked for permissions only in those three roms above for now. I don't like a rippers, especially when it comes to so simple things. I only ask you to PM me and ask me if that's ok if you include it in your rom or whatever. I haven't said no to any of the requests I got for now. Please tell me about any other place you will see my app or Apollo "1.3", "1.2" as the latest Cyanogenmod version is 1.1. I'll try to get it down. I do not say that this player is 100% mine, because it's all Andrew Niels's player. I'm just the guy that "keeps it running smooth and nice, with new features" tbh. I havent removed Andrew's name or A. J. Lopez's name from the credits and this will not happen. Ever. It's not going to google play either. Andrew's will - can't do anything about it although I would really love to do that.
If you want to use my player in your rom or whatever - send me a PM with the request and let me know how would you like to use it, I'll decide then.
This version is not going to make it to Google play, but it's still going to be updated regularly until Andrew Neal (the only true author of this application) releases it on Google play.
Enjoy!
08.09.2017 - Sad news
I always thought that I could continue Andrew Neal's application, develop it further, make it perfect and flawless. I had put loads of time and effort into it. Recently I did what I thought is impossible for me - get it to work on devices newer than LP, yet I did that. I was planning to release it on Google Play when I think it's good enough, so that everybody could enjoy it and have hassle free updates, but unfortunately he wouldn't let me do it.
Thus I am forced to discontinue development of Apollo and let it die at last. It was a nice journey, but unfortunately it has come to an end.
If an author agrees to continue his project, I will continue development.
Here's a link to his profile: https://plus.google.com/u/0/115877233289242058609
Farewell!

yesssss
how can i uninstall the default and install this?

Well this really needs to be added to OP, because you've got an amazing app here...
You need a file explorer with root capabilities!!! I recommend Root Browser
1) Uninstall the preinstalled Apollo with a system app uninstaller application
2) Copy and paste the new Apollo.apk in the system/app folder
3) Set permissions of the apk to rw-r-r-
4) Reboot
5) Profit
Hit thanks if i helped!

Thanks for the heads up, will do this right now.

For clarification: Can this be installed the same like other apk file or it needs to be push at system/app folder? Thanks

Depends. If you're on a Rom with Apollo installed already, you need to push. Otherwise, no

successfully installed but force closes when i tried to open.here's a logcat.

Thanks!
I hoped that's not caused by missing functions in GB API, but it is. That would mean that it won't be built with latest CM11 branch... Well, I'll build it with another branch after I get some time.

I saw the logcat. I says fc's on getActionBar. You need to use actionbarsherlock or actionbarcompat and change that to getSupportActionBar, getMenuInflater- getSupportMenuInflater. Changing to jb branch wont help.

Alright guys, I told you I was working on a new rom. I'm happy to finally release an Android Open Source Project (AOSP) based rom. I've teamed up with Bcnice20, I'm sure ya'all know him from working on the MIUI port for the Evo. The two of us are going to be maintaining and updating this ROM.
First lets start off with....

There's been quite a few people that I've peeked on their github just to learn a few things here and there. Whether I've used any of their code or not, I'd like to acknowledge them at the very least for giving us some insight into Java/Android. Those include...

Issues/Workarounds
Apps2SD/Dalvik2SD Workaround
Download a terminal emulator or Use ADB Shell to administer these commands
Code:
a2sd reinstall (it will run and then want to reboot)
a2sd cachesd (again it will want to reboot)
a2sd check (this will tell you if it worked correctly)
Sorry if im vague in this. Wrote this real quick with the wife nagging in the background.

Location/GPS fix for some Apps.
Goto
Code:
Settings > Location & Security > My Location > Uncheck "Use wireless networks"
This will force the phone to use the GPS instead of cell towers. This should take care of the GPS/Location issues that people found in various apps that depend on GPS location.

I'm actually going to go to an AOSP looking one with percentage. I put that in there because I liked it... awaiting a different theme. I'll put an update out tomorrow or the next.
Also, any update will most likely be a FULL update, unless its just to patch an error or something. When compiling from source.... the resource ID's (strings, arrays, drawables, etc...) are created at the time of compiling. So if theres any changes to these, all the files that reference them will need to be replaced. Unfortunately any themes from CM most likely wont work for this rom either. Unless you were to replace only the images in the framework-res.apk.

really nice looking rom, do you think the snap turbo kernel will work with this?

This is just my 2cents, but just keep it simple the way it is. If anything make performance tweaks and whatever you can add/do to help the battery consumption. Remove anything that's not necessary to boot up the system and run it, if we want something extra we can always download it and add it to it. Looking for the donate...
Thanks

Deodexted? I assume so, since you mentioned a theme but it does not specify anywhere. Just curious. I wanna flash the stock fonts. Im eager to try this ROM.

Nice to see some more AOSP ROMs on the Forums. Before the next MIUI Update i'll be sure to try this out.

I'm really suprised that this rom is not getting more attention, ITS AMAZING!! Very fast and very stable so far since I have been using it. My only complaint is that damn battery icon, just cant get used to it . Anyways I've used this rom with netarchy univ, zendroid, and kings kernels and they all work great!! Kings gives me great battery life with your rom and so far is the best aosp for batter life in my case. Also get some good quadrant numbers with zen's. Anyways awesome rom and I cant wait to see how you improve it

BETA - Weekly.
Stable - Monthly.
Q: When will the ROMs be released?
A: MIUI.cn release the builds on Friday.
MiuiAndroid try to get the builds out on Friday but it could be a long as Sunday.
We will try to release a our builds before or on Monday of each week, if we are late, please don't post and ask when it will be ready.
Q: When will the change log be released?
A: MIUI.CN release the change logs on Friday.
MiuiAndroid try to get the translated version of the change log out on Friday.
Q: Do I need to wipe?
A: If you are coming from other MIUI based ROMs then you only need to wipe the caches, not data. If you are coming from other ROMs then you need to wipe the caches and data.
Q: I see Chinese text! What do I do?
A: Reset, if it's still there, report it here but there isn't much I can do about it if its a missing translation as I do not speak Chinese myself but I will pass it onto the people that do.
Q: XYZ game doesn't work
A: The Milestone is ageing hardware and you could class it as a Gen 2 device (and Gen 4 coming out at Christmas this year) and due to this, some apps (such as games) may not run so well on the Milestones hardware.
Some users recommend using this app to try and get some games (such as Cut The Rope) to work; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427
Some users recommend disabling JIT as well as this should free up some RAM;
/system/build.prop
Change:
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit
To:
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast
Q. The new Market (Black) is slow / laggy. Why?
It's just too heavy for the Milestone. You can flash the old Market here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17189832&postcount=886
I am thinking about including the old Market by default and I would like your views on it.
Q: Will you add XYZ language?
A: I wont be as I feel (as I only speak English) that the quality of the build would decrease.
You can found other languages here: http://en.miui.com/download.html
Q: Will you include an OTA update option?
A: I want to but, but the cost of bandwidth is something I can not currently afford - any suggestions would be highly welcomed.
Q: Why won't you add any new features?
A: Simply because I do not have the time or equipment to code and debug.
Q: Is the DSI fix in your releases?
A: Yes. Since 1.6.24 MIUI.cn include it.
Q: Is MIUI open source?
Currently. no but it will be!

Nice work danny and skadude
Keep up the great work

Is it possible to extract the keyboard fix from your rom, and if so, which files are to be extracted?
I have a well working german 1.6.24 rom which just lacks the keyboard fix.

I reckon you refer to the wrong fix. The problem in the German ROM comes from the use of the HTC_IME-keyboard, as far as I can see.
Danny_Android doesn´t use this nor the Gingerbread keyboard eyebee usually featured in his ROMs, he just has the standard Miui keyboard.
But maybe I am wrong.

The keyboard included in this ROM is eybee's Gingerbread keyboard. You would have to extract LatinIME.apk from system/app and libjni_latinime.so from system/lib

I'm not aren't currently taking requests. I want to understand the Android system a little better first before making big changes.
This may help you, I saw an app here a few months ago where it uses the proximity sensor to unlock the phone (i.e. you swype your hand over the screen).

That refers to your ROM, right? Yours and DannyDroid´s are two different ones, or am I on the wrong track?

Yes, that is for my ROM. The only difference between mine and Danny's is the keyboard I believe. I would like to release one single version, so perhaps Danny and I can combine forces to get something sorted out.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA Premium App

We will do, it's just all a little messy at the moment and my lack of free time isn't helping.

But the good news is that Skadude´s keyboard might be the solution for PhatUgly´s problem then!

Remove the 07app2ext and 05mountsd files from the /system/etc/init.d folder before flashing the rom and you dont have apps2ext.

Me confused: If he didn´t remove these files, but didn´t have an ext-partition on his SD, nothing would happen, or would it cause problems?

So, what's all this about?:
After more than 3 weeks of hard work we're finally ready to present you the brand new v17 version. Now with an amazing Aroma installer that, based on your device model, installs the right fixes to make it fully working with your particular Note 3. You can also, if you're using the international Note 3, select from many of the leading kernels out there and much much more. We've also managed to get it even a little bit ram friendlier and have removed many UI errors and annoyances.
But no, we aren't finished yet my friends. We have also included a fully integrated OTA update system that will notify you in case there are some updates (to be found in Settings). Also in Settings there is now - assuming you've installed Xposed Framework- an Xposed button integrated into settings. And right now you're about to ask: "Well, what about Appops?". Well that's there too!
We've tested it for a long time now but if you manage to find some bugs don't even bother to post them here before you have:
A.Used the provided logcat app to gather the log.
B. Searched if someone else already has mentioned it.
ALSO:Please state if you have performed a full-wipe aswell every time you report a problem. And for ota flashing issues use TWRP.
What variants does this rom work on?
N9005, N900T and N900W8
What's missing/Not working?
Bluetooth tethering (?)
Video calling (probably will get fixed, can't promise it)
Display mirroring (update: Well it seems that our provided fix didn't fix it... We'll work on it)
Direct pen input/Writingbuddy (needs major smali editing, would be easier once a new note device comes out)
Wifi-timer(coming soon with ota)
Multilanguage (will also be available as a separate post-installer really soon)
Fully functional S5 themed google keyboard (coming soon)
Download booster/Wificalling toggle (coming soon)
Private mode (won't work because it's deodexed)
ART (same)
S5 camera. It works but it it will forceclose when trying to launch it with a sview cover. Some other functions are missing to, but most of it is trivial. Waiting for @fahadali to fix it.
MHL/HDMI (maybe tyre will be able to fix it)
Possible future additions:
Optional battery themes
Autocallrecording
Aroma installer that remembers your last choices
More air-command themes
Rebase on the newest International firmware
Optional multidpi setting app integrated in settings with respective modded TW apps to fully support true multiDPI
Torch settings
RC-ELITE app with all customisation settings in one place
So with that being said, here we proudly present:
READ THE IMPORTANT NOTES FIRST(below), before downloading!
DOWNLOAD LINK HERE!
MD5: 470d0a60e0a3f5131292462f8a60a3bb
Please take an extra note: Although this IS STATED in the aroma installer. Some users simply do not want to follow it. You have so perform a fullwipe (included in aroma) to make this ROM fully work. Please do not, as some users already have, waste our time with errors that could have been avoided by following our instructions. A fullwipe is only needed once, and won't be needed with the coming OTA updates.
And one more thing: It is strictly forbidden to post any reuploads or direct-links of our rom or ota updates. Anyone doing so will be reported. Please respect this. We have our reasons.

UPCOMING OTA Update:
New settings base app with Wifitimer in advanced wifi settings.
Multilang - which will be offered as a separate optional installation.
17.x.x updates will all be small OTA updates!
Important notes:
IMPORTANT:
Although this should be obvious, you need to be on a 4.4.x firmware first. So update to a new samsung note 3 firmware based on 4.4.x before flashing our ROM. Don't even try to experiment with this. You'll just waste your/our time.
Regarding ROM reflashing:
If you want flash any other kernels or apps since your first install. Just flash the main v17.0 again without performing a full-wipe. You will have to reflash the latest OTA update aswell.
Regarding gps problems when returning to normal rom:
tyre777 said:
(...) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GPS in DEVICE ONLY or HIGH ACCURACY before flashing any note 3 rom so that the GPS bug/ problem won't happen
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Regarding the THEMED Google Keyboard:
Fixed in 17.1.2.
About Xposed Framework:
Please DO NOT recover Xposed from a backup OR install it in any other way! It's already included in Aroma. IF you install it you will end up with two apks! This is because the provided Xposed apk is modded to not show it's icon. The icon as stated above, is now integrated in Settings.
Regarding the time sync delay:
This isn't our fault. To fix it, go to Settings>Lockscreen and set Dual-clock to OFF. That will "fix" it. For any further complaints about this. Go to Samsung.com
Regarding "wifi is not working" issues:
Update your bootloader to NF4 via ODIN. Google it if you don't know how to perform this task. (Of course I'm talking about the one for note 3, NOT the S5)
Regarding the themes app forceclosing:
If you HAVE NOT selected any themes at all in aroma. It will forceclose. In the new aroma I will make sure that "themes" doesn't even get installed if don't select any.
Regarding random reboots:
This isn't really our fault either. It's a kernel issue. Flash the stock kernel. Most people like @kevin_1351 don't have this issue at all with any kernel whatsoever. But some may have them. Now you know.
Regarding lockscreen related problems like pinlock issues:
We've encountered more than 3 users with this problem. In all cases the solution was to use a pit file to completely repartition the Note 3 (internal SD will also be wiped). Don't be mad if it doesn't work, but we have more and more evidence that it works.
One important thing though is that securelock time only comes up when you have a pin selected and not just set it on swipe. @kevin_1351 fist believed this was a bug due to other v6 ports having it enabled on swipe aswell. After further research though it became clear that it's actually behaving as is should. Also, it is normal in android for the screen to not lock directly after it shuts off. It's made in order to lessen the frustration when you're reading for instance. If you want instant locking you'll have to use a pin and set the proper settings. It's actually not our business to specify this but we taught it might come in handy to know.
OTA updates:
Yes, this ROM provides you with OTA updates, you'll find it in Settings. We initially had problems with this because we were using DropBox. Now @cdmvirt has provided dedicated servers to fix it once and for all. He has payed for this out of his own pocket's (for the most part) so please show him some appreciation.
Also, you don't need to keep the old OTA updates. Just keep the latest one in case you want to reflash some options.
For all issues regarding flashing OTA updates, be sure that you're using the TWRP recovery (v2.7.2.1 or newer). We will not provide support for the other recoveries (although in the most cases you can manually flash it by navigating to OTA folder).
Here is the N9005 TWRP Recovery page btw: CLICK ME!
For issues regarding the OTA download: please delete the OTA folder first and try again.
BETA channel:
With 17.1.2 you will be asked to select if you want to take part of the BETA program. If you choose that you will get faster OTA updates with the downside of them being unfinished, without aroma and may contain some bugs. This is only for the more advanced user. With other words you will have to know how to handle adb, root explorers, being actually mentally able to READ; that sort of stuff. Nothing major but still more than the average joe knows about.
Taking part of the beta program also comes with responsabilites. You'll have to report whether or not the new features and fixes work and be quite specific about the outcomes. The beta versions will contain a "b" at the end of the version number. If you choose to take part, don't complain about stuff not working but instead try to be productive.
Live-support:
Sadly XDA doesn't provide us with any chat system, which we really would love to see in the future btw. Therefore @cdmvirt has integrated a chat system in order for you to get live support from either us or other users. Follow the download link to get there.

Donations:
None of us are into this for the money. But we've got server costs (for the OTA dedicated server) to pay for and we really have spent countless hours on this. This simply is a fact. It's not a simple task to do what Samsung should have done at our place. It requires weeks of studying, trial and error and lots of coffee. We do this for fun and for the challenge that comes with it. But it goes without saying that we also would like some appreciation for our work. Either by just a thanks or by a small donation. As for everyone saying that they're too poor and/or are students. Well 1$ is nothing and if you own a Note in the first place you should be able to spend 1$ more dollar on this aswell. Some of us are students too, so we know what we're talking about. But hey, this is XDA. You're free to use it without paying a cent, but at least try to show some appreciation for it.

Thanks @Shaftamle for helping me with my themed keyboard (He told me how to fix it). Go and check out his keyboard themes btw!
Many thanks to @fahadali2315 for the "Hell NO!" vote. lol and for initially helping me getting up on my own legs.
N9005 Specific downloads:
I've added the NF4 bootloader for wifi in this post.
I've also added a PIT file if you want to COMPLETELY format your phone. Use this with odin aswell. Be careful though, and read up on what it does. This is only to be used with a stock Note 3 .tar.md5 firmware. If you have pinlock issues with our ROM for example: this is needed.
The pit file is going to create a >50kb partition. With other words, is gonna make room for all types of csc. As I said though, read up on this.
Please keep one more thing in mind: The PIT will erase the internal SDCARD as well.
About the next OTA update:
Probably, v17.1.2 -or whatever version number it will have- will be my personally last update(I'll be around and help my team but I won't be this active anymore). Until now tyre and I have been the ones working the most on v17, while cdmvirt has been the one who together with stash made v16, the very foundation of v17. Lately his dedication has partially shifted to his webportal instead, and to the dedicated servers we use for the OTA and for his portal. Now when spending that much time on the rom, it hurts to see how cdm is still struggling with serverside issues and has to pay out of his own pockets in order to maintain it. Especially considering the enormous user base we've gathered in only a week. It seriously disappoints me to see people being ungrateful and complaining about something, but on the other hand don't offer the help in order maintain their desired quality.
This isn't the only thing though, I've received over at least 50 pm complaining about stuff that we don't have anything to do with. User errors or even worse, the fact that people can't even spend 10 min of their time on reading the main post through. This considering the 7 weeks we've spent on this. I've been really active in the iOS scene once and I can tell you, THIS was a totally different story. Night and day. I've heard that XDA has changed, that it has once been the place I'm speaking about. Idk. This is not meant to be offensive in any way. There are a lot of grateful and helpful people too. But they are as rare as truffle. And another factor is that I simply don't have this much time to spend on it either.
I won't leave as I said. And I will really try to help my team further, if they feel like they want to continue. But I won't put this much effort into it anymore. Because it's not being answered back.
I hope you'll understand my frustration. I'm surprised that the ones directly involved like cdm himself just take it, and thinks it's ok. For me at least this is NOT ok.
Due to time constraints and the fact that we want to obtain a bugfree experience, there still are some things I need to figure out in order to flash this OTA in the correct way. Therefore it will be slightly delayed. Maybe 24-48h.

Also it's strictly forbidden to post any direct links to our rom here. Or to make any modifications to it without our permission. Thank you.

What I'm doing right now:
-Packing the next OTA
-Kitesufing

very good work man:good:

If the fix works it should also be working I think. But maybe it still isn't fully working. We're close though.

Well it's the stock note 3 one. Of course some unofficial kernels will give you better battery life since they're downvolting/clocking. Still I wouldn't worry to much about it.

New features like Blacklist, expandable volume panel, and SlimCenter (not fully functional to inform of updates yet).
Basic BLN support in the kernel. Enable/disable it in Settings > Sound & notification > Notification > Notification light
Should be a noticeable improvement in the occasional lag, but there seems to be a general bug related to this that affects many devices. With our device, it's more noticeable due to lower resources in general than newer devices have.
Default DPI is now set to the native device default of 240, but you can change this to several preset values in Settings > Display > LCD density.

Cursory RRO Theme suport. Slim is currently not implementing CM's theme engine. RRO is better in many ways... If you don't know what RRO Themes are or how to use them, you need an app and theme apks. Check it out here: RRO Themes App Official Thread and here: some RRO themes hosted on RobbieL811's server. Thanks, @RobbieL811!
Audio policy tweaked some more - Please test various audio/video scenarios.
Ringtones may not appear until after the Media Scanner picks them up, the phone sleeps, or a reboot. Not sure which at this point, but they are there!
Various other updates and code clean-up

ROM:
Slim-skyrocket-5.1.1.beta.0.10-UNOFFICIAL-20151027-0853.zip
Special thanks to @RobbieL811 for temporarily hosting some of these builds! If you see him around, be sure to thank him!
GApps:
Use TK PIco GApps from AndroidFileHost | BasketBuild
(Main TK GApps thread on XDA)
TWRP Recovery:
TWRP 2.8.7.0 with F2FS support in IMG, TAR and ZIP formats. Thanks to @javelinanddart for compiling these.
Instructions:
Reboot to recovery.
Make a nandroid backup.
Boot into recovery. You need a newer version for lollipop. Tested with TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery linked above.
Make a nandroid backup.
Make sure you're on one of these radios or newer for now: I727:UCMC1|I727R:UXUMA7
FULL WIPE/Format: /system, /data, /cache and /dalvik.
Flash the ROM.
Flash GApps(use Slim Mini or Zero GApps).
If you want ROOT, you have to unlock Developer Options by going to Settings > About phone and clicking on the Build number field 7 times. Then you can enable Root in Settings > Developer Options > Root access.
Reboot when finished
Boot animation is delayed 10-20 seconds, and takes about 10 minutes to boot up on a clean flash, so be patient and give it time.
Enjoy!
Note: You may not see all the ringtones, notification sounds, etc. until the phone goes to sleep, or the Media Scanner finds them. Also, check the Settings > Sound & notification > Interruptions menu to make sure these aren't disabled, as in "No interruptions". This disables the sounds.
Issues? Post a logcat on Pastebin, link to it here, and provide as many details as possible, such as ROM version, GApps used, radio/modem, cell provider, or anything relevant to the problem or how to duplicate the issue.
Enjoy!

Screen shots and stuff:
NOTE: RRO is no longer part of the Slim sources. Basic layer support is included (v1). I am not sure where this is going with Slim but feel we need a theme engine of some kind. I've left these images here for fun. If I find I can pick the RRO commits back into my builds I will try, but if we go weekly, it will have to come from the bosses...
Some screen shots using RRO Layer Theme Synergy_v4 by Brian Gill are attached.
Note you need the Bitsyko RRO Themes app, which you can get by signing up for beta testing, and then you can use Google to find other themes. Full instructions are in the link.
Note there is some Teal mixed in with the Blue, but you get the idea...

Yes sir, it's what I primarily use. It still works well, even though it's discontinued.
My computer likes to connect to the phone's USB storage with PhilZ, whereas with TWRP it has trouble sometimes.
Both should work (for now)... [emoji14]

New build in OP with WORKING AUDIO ! Huge thanks to @gimmeitorilltell for collaborating on this! GPS locks fast... The source needs to be sorted out and pushed to Slim still, so if you're looking to build, you'll have to wait a bit. Still a WIP...
I need some people to test phone calls and SMS/MMS functionality since my Skyrocket has no SIM card. Share a link to your logcat on Pastebin if possible please.

OK, thanks so MMS pics aren't working? Did you set your default data type and APN correctly? If you can try other ones, it might be useful.
You can share your log using pastebin.com and providing a link here to it. If you can't post links, just spell out the url with words or PM me (if you can).

New build is up in the OP. Not a lot changed, except some source moved around on Slim since msm8660 got it's own CAF branches.
Beware if you try the torch tile, you will have to reboot to use the camera. This is an issue with the Nexus phones too and I hope to see it fixed soon.
Here's a direct link to the ROM (instructions are in the OP):
Slim-skyrocket-5.0.2.alpha.0.91-UNOFFICIAL-20150205-2203.zip
Use the latest Slim normal GApps v467 or Slim mini GApps v467. The full GApps package is very large and might not fit into the system. I had issues with apps disappearing like Play Store and Play Services issues. You don't want that deal...

Just put this on my skyrocket. Wow! Its like a new phone . So fast and smooth. I had to order a new battery though. It will be interesting to see what the battery life is really like as the one I have dies pretty quickly considering it the original. Wish I could access all 16gb of the internal memory for apps though.

FROM CODE AURORA FORUM
WebRefiner libraries
1.The libraries listed in src/components/web_refiner/ (downloaded during the 'gclient sync' phase) are built on top of SWE based on Chromium version M42. Attempting to use these libraries in any other version of chromium will result in instability.
2.libswewebrefiner.so is built with dependency on libswe.so. If you are changing the chromium library name to something else in your project, then libswewebrefiner.so library loading will simply fail at runtime.
3.Libraries support ARM and ARM64 architecture only.

For me, it's by far the best browser i ever try. But I can't choose DuckDuckGo in search engine menu. However, I see it on an old video and on a screenshot. Is it normal ?

The browser with the smoothest scrolling on my S6 on MM! Night mode is excellent and doesn't affect images.
Well done!

I try it but that doesn't fix my issue. In fact, my phone uses French languages. When I use English, I can choose DuckDuckGo. I look your sources codes, and in /res/values-fr-rFR/donotttranslate-search_engines.xml , I don't have DuckDuckGo :
Code:
<resources xmlns:xliff="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2">
<string-array name="search_engines" translatable="false">
<item>google</item>
<item>yahoo_fr</item>
<item>bing_fr_FR</item>
</string-array>
</resources>
I am not sure it's the real problem because DuckDuckGo already appear in /res/values/donotttranslate-search_engines.xml
Code:
<resources xmlns:xliff="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.2">
<string-array name="search_engines" translatable="false">
<item>google</item>
<item>baidu</item>
<item>yahoo</item>
<item>bing</item>
<item>DuckDuckGo</item>
</string-array>
<string name="default_search_engine_value">google</string>
</resources>
In spite of that, I adopt this browser.

hello my friend, nice looking app, congrats
if i may ask you, can you please add option that allows you to run private mode at first launch when enabled in browser options ?
thank you

Thank you! It's smoother and faster than chrome :x using this on miui7 mi5

A few points that I want to note:
-Where is the 'promised' integrated ad blocker? Was it just removed or will it be implemented in a future version
-Why does this browser needs to reload background tabs when accessing them? In this way opening many tabs in the background is almost completely useless, when you have to rely on the short amount of available mobile data
-Saving pages for offline reading is nice. However, I miss a swipe feature to change quickly between the different pages. Also there is no way to delete all of them at once?
-What is the actual impact of the energy mode? Any ideas?
Is there a way to get directly into touch with the developers? Is there a official board of CM and if yes, where do I find it?

-adblock will be added in the coming built but already you can find something in security and privacy
-you probably have some apps that you clean your cache
-there isn'tbut i can add it
-It restricts the use of CPU and RAM to devote to the browser as well as other
- U CAN FIND ALL ON :
GOOGLE PLUS OF THE CM DEV

THANKS A LOT

Sry, didn't mean to be demanding. I think the browser is well done already, just wanted to express a few of my personal observations. Never intended to be offensive.
I read the OP, however, I am not a user of google+ so it's hard to get into touch with the devs over there
- Adblock would be great, I'm looking forward to this feature.
- I don't use any apps to clean the cache. So, is this behavior that background tabs are reloaded when accessing them supposed to be unnormal?
-Would be great if it could be added. Thank you!
- Alright, so I shouldn't open to many tabs in energy mode, right?
Thank you so far!

Any chance of adding in ad blocking?

can I import bookmarks from firefox, or other?
