F.A.Q. from ROM developer (ivicask)
1. When will the next version be released?
Wrong question.
2. How do I install the rom?!
ViperS Install Instructions
Make sure you are running latest firmware that came with 3.33 RUU, if you are S-OFF flash it via bootloader from HERE, if your are S-ON, relock your bootloader and flash 3.33 RUU from HERE.
Make sure you using latest 4EXT recovery, you can flash it using Free 4EXT Recovery Updater App
Download the the latest ViperS full ROM zip from the download section
Place the file somewhere on your phone storage.
Confirm the MD5 on the download page matches the MD5 of the file on your phone (ES File Explorer will show the MD5 of the file)
Reboot to 4EXT Recovery
Backup current ROM if desired
If you are S-ON user make sure you enable Smart Flash inside recovery,in order to properly flash kernel.
Install ROM using 4EXT and select wipe during aroma install if coming from another base or rom
If phone doesn't boot, means Smart Flash didint work, and you also need to flash the kernel using included Venom Kernel flasher from HERE
Reboot and Enjoy
3. How do install OTA (Over-The-Air) updates?
Settings - About - Software updates
4. I have a problem with the ROM (FC, Boot Loop, apps closing automatically). How can I get my problem resolved?
First things first. Try wiping data and replicating the issue:
Rebooting into Recovery
Perform a Nandroid backup (of just Data if you wish)
Flash the ROM and select the option to "Wipe Data"
Try replicating the issue
If the problem persists, capture a logcat and send it to developers.
To capture a logcat, If you have fastboot setup, you already have the drivers installed and probably already have adb.exe in the same folder as fastboot.exe:
Open the Command Prompt (run it as Administrator if UAC is enabled in Windows)
run adb logcat >c:\logcat.txt
To capture an FC, use the command adb shell "logcat | grep AndroidRuntime" >c:logcat.txt
Press Control-C to stop logging
Paste the contents of c:\logcat.txt into http://pastebin.com
Post the link here with the problem being experienced
If you still have the issue, check to see if it's been reported here and create a new incident if it already hasn't:
5. Whats the md5 sum thing?
It ensures, that the rom is downloaded correctly and completly to avoid weird issues when installing/using the rom. Google for "md5 sum checker" and you should find what you need.
6.What is PnPMgr daemon?
You can change maximum CPU and GPU frequency using aroma installer options.New rules and improvements are added from HTC One profile, like maximum CPU screen-off frequency 1026 MHz, optimal CPU frequency settings for updated ondemand governor and boot-time performance lock which will decrease booting time. We recommend setting CPU/GPU speeds via aroma and not change them later via 3d party apps, u can still change speeds via Venom tweaks for benchmarks and similar but than you wont benefit from PnPMgr which has many rules and policies defined, for example when you launch navigation then maximum CPU frequency is limited to 900 MHz, when you are using camera in HDR or Panorama mode, both cores are enabled, in launcher when you changing screens both cores also are always enabled.
7. What is KSM??
KSM decreases memory usage by sharing identical memory pages among different processes. Result is more free ram, but also this option may use some extra CPU power. You can change this option inside Venom Tweaks and set memory scanning speed.
8. I found a theme or mod, will it work on this rom?
It's NOT recommended to use mod/themes that dont clearly state, that they are compatible with our rom. Thems/Mods always use framework files which will brake mods/stuff in our rom.
9. My question is not listed here, what to do?
Ensure you used the xda search, google and your brain before asking a question in the thread. If you cant find an answer yourself we will answer your question for sure! (-:
10. My media (pictures, music, etc.) is not listed in the Gallery/HTC Music/etc.
Try rescanning your SDCARD by using an app such as Media Scanner
11. What are the correct sizes for custom carrier logo?
Try 100x100
12. Insufficient storage error on app update/install in play store
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38899557&postcount=1
13. I get FC when i want to edit picture in gallery, or get random FCs in camera application, or cant set contact picture
This happens because you have remains of older rom versions in your DCIM folder on SDCARD, you must delete all files inside except your personal pictures (*.jpg), meaning delete all .thumbnail and nomedia or other files that are not your pictures
14.Why are some widgets missing in sense 5?
Htc removed them, nothing was removed from ROM.
15.How's the battery&perfomance in this rom? And how can i improve it
See some HERE and HERE
16.My phone reboots when i take photo (With or without flash)
This will happen if your battery is low (20% or lower), or your battery in general is in bad shape, you should consider buying a new battery!
17.My phone or wifi doesn't turn ON after flashing full rom or OTA
This means you are S-ON and kernel cant be flashed in recovery, you can use provided Venom Kernel Flasher tool for easy flashing the boot.img, or you can do it your self via fastboot

F.A.Q. on Common Issues and Common Requests
How to install the ROM? How to unlock my bootloader/go S-OFF/flash a recovery?
Please have a look at this great guide by ichigo_kurosaki: [GUIDE] Unlocking Bootloader, Rooting, and Wiretrick-Free S-OFF for Beginners
My Wifi works, but it's acting strange (disconnecting/reconnecting). What can I do?
Some users are experiencing this. You can try to flash the Test2.zip file (be careful to numbers, Test1 doesn't work) from this post. Do this at your own risk and make a backup before flashing.
After I uninstalled some apps, weird "ghost" icons remain in the Sense app drawer. How to get rid of them?
This is a little bug. You can get rid of those icons with the procedure described by hinxnz. Big thanks to him.
hinxnz said:
Tip for removing leftover icon
When uninstalling or deleting an app with a root explorer or titanium backup, the app seems to leave a ghost icon in the app draw which keeps reappearing after a reboot (as shown in screenshot).
To remove this completely you need to use a SQlite editor and delete the app record that is in appscustomize which is in the launcher.db found in /data/data/com.htc.launcher/databases/
Once you delete the line for the uninstalled app, you need to reboot.
That's it, ghost app gone for good :thumbup:

I'm having huge wakelock called RILJ from Dialer app. How can I get rid of it?
There is no way to get rid of this wakelock: no fix at the moment and no alternative RIL files to flash (you can flash different RIL with this MOD by hinxnz, but the wakelock won't disappear). Good news anyway: this thing doesn't affect your battery, so just ignore it.
I'm having huge wakelock called Audiut4. How can I get rid of it?
That's a wakelock happening when your phone plays sounds, so it' normal. If it is huge for you it could be because you have sounds enabled when updating Blinkfeed o Weather. Disable those sounds and you should be fine.
Even if I setup a lockscreen, the phone unlock himself when I turn the screen off. What's the problem?
There's a bug with lockscreen when you activate "Accessibility Services" (Settings -> Accessibility). Disable them if you have some for now. Bug should be fixed in next release.
Can I use Xposed framework with this ROM?
Yes you can. Here's a list of working modules. Thanks to hinxnz.
hinxnz said:
Here are some more compatible Xposed modules that work with ViperS 5.1.0
Activity Force New Task - Allows better navigation in recent apps for apps that use the same process.
.
App Settings - Customize apps individually. eg. full screen mode, change DPI, keep screen on etc.
.
Greenify - Experimental features work.
.
Master Key multi-fix - Patches several 'Master Key' exploits.
.
Min Min Guard - The best ad remover by far! (Development has stopped but it's up to date as of now and works great).
.
SIM Number Changer - Finally can insert your phone number into your SIM so it shows in the Settings - About menu.
.
CrappaLinks - Remove link masking/tracking/shortening from various apps.
.
Hide Battery Low Alert - Disable low battery alert notification.
.
Boot Manager - Run only the apps you want at system start.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Smart Alarm Icon - This mod will change the alarm icon in status bar to be only displayed for a configurable time before alarm will go off.
[MOD][XPOSED][4.0+] CpuTemp in Statusbar - This little module allows you to show the CPU temperature in the statusbar.
Native Clip Board [2.0] - This module will add clip-board functionality to the text selection menu.
MichBox module for XPosedFramework - This module provides lots of system tweaks.
[MODULE][4.0+] XSSID Indicator - This module adds WIFi SSID next to Clock in status bar.
I want to keep an app in memory. How to do that?
Install Xposed framework and the App Settings module. Reboot and open App Settings. Choose the app you want to keep in memory, tap on ON/OFF button on top and finally check the "Resident" option. Done.
I have low free RAM and my phone is lagging sometimes. How can I solve this?
You can try these tips:
Use Greenify. This app can hibernate other apps and free up some memory. With PRO version and Xposed module you won't lose notifications from your hibernated apps.
You can adjust MinFree settings in Venom Tweaks (Misc -> MinFree Settings))
You can use this script from hinxnz to use his MinFree setting: LMKminfree.zip
Read this post by hinxnz about these things:
hinxnz said:
Yeah Greenify is great Nar doesn't kill notifications if you use the Experimental Feature - GCM push for greenified apps.
I enable all the experimental features and have no issues, I greenify nearly all apps that use the gcm service and as many user apps as I can including some system apps.
Flash zip linked below for LMK minfree as set to what I said earlier or you can change them in Venom tweaks (limited) or another app such as Android tuner.
I use a ext4 partition on my SD card (approx 1Gb) and have been for along time now, it works good. I use Mounts2SD, link in my signature, there are also many other alternatives. Only move the apps and not there data or dalvik-cache.

[MODS] ViperS 5.0.0 | JB | Sense 5 (UPDATED 14/02/14)
Hi everybody!
I created this thread to collect all FAQs and common issues about this ROM. This should keep (some) noobs away from asking not-related questions in Development thread.
Please post other FAQ and common issues here and I will update the OP as soon as possible. Thanks
There are also some mods in here too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542140
BUT, be careful as some of them are already intergated in ViperS 5.1.0, and that thread was created for ViperS 5.0.0.
With some caution (AND READING of course) you will know what to flash and what to not flash!

Sorry if I sound like a noob .
In the development thread it said that you need the 4.33 RUU. Does the stock 4.32 work?

it works
actually it refers to the firmware verison so both 3.32 and 3.33 are compatible with the rom
Thank you! I just realized that you are S-ON and have it installed. So I guess I am good.
Thank you very much for the ROM, I have been waiting this for a long time
first of all my wife device is sensation XE and runs official android 4.0.3
- boat loader is locked
- Hboot-1.29.0000
- eMMC-boot
- S-ON
it is the first to do a custom android Rom so, I'm confused about 1rst step
"if your are S-ON, relock your bootloader and flash 3.33 RUU from HERE"
can you guide me through this step to download 3.33 RUU ! and should I make the phone S-off of not?
Thank you in advance

Hi mate
The 3.33 number is more referred to firmware: with official android 4.0.3 you should have 3.32 or 3.33 which are both good for this ROM. So, no need to flash RUU.
To flash a custom ROM while still being S-ON follow this guide: [GUIDE] Flashing roms with S-ON and 1.27+ HBOOT.
S-OFF will give you the ability to flash new firmware (but as I said before, you don't need it) or to flash different RADIO files (your RADIO should be ok too, so really no need to go S-OFF).
Anyway here's a link with guide to gain S-OFF if you want to have a look: [GUIDE] Juopunutbear S-OFF (HBOOT 1.27.0000 with 3.32 ICS Firmware)

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.

Please respect the work, give proper credits. You don't need permission, but don't just slap a theme on a apk, release it as a mod, I would be very pleased.

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.

This appears to be harmless at this point. I will look into it.
• Ringtones duplicates.
Rebuild your media database. Settings -> Applications -> All (tab) -> Look for "Media Storage". Select and "Clear Data".
• General FC's
Generally clear data for the particular application will resolve the issue.
• Deep Sea LWP will crash on reboots.
It will work again after few seconds. Not dug into the cause yet.
• CLOCK: Smart Alarm ringtone, no effect.
Will be fixed in 4.1
• CLOCK: Desk Clock -> Dock settings FC
Will be fixed in 4.1

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.

Weather widget doesn't work though -- I'm using Apex launcher
It is listed under installed apps, but doesn't show up as an addable widget.
I have no weather on lock screen
Do I still need to flash the old weather on lockscreen zip?

I have a placeholder for weather info on lockscreen, but it shows "unable to display weather data"
I've tried to refresh weather data with no luck

Possible we need to move the weather apps back to system to resolve?

No, no. Folks Please DO NOT TRY TO FLASH APK's from somewhere else or previous releases. You will FC all over the place. Especially the core system and framework APK's...you have be warned

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!

Piccolo_ROM
(Rom 4.1.1 with 4.2. AppMod)
This ROM based on Franken700 (4.1.1.) with 3.0 or 2.6. Thrills Kernel for iconia a510. So first of all, thanks to NoThrills.
I had modified some things, cleaned the completly System and added the new 4.2. Google-Apps-Mod. The only Acer-Setting
that has remained is DOLBY MOBILE for better Sound on your Acer Iconia A510. All other useless app's are removed.
What is changed?
_________________________________
two rom_version with Statusbar on top, like in 4.2. system or Statusbar on bottom, like we know it on our acer iconia!
(please look at the Screenshots to see the diffrents)
mod 4.1. to 4.2. google-apps NEW: Keyboard, Kamera, Launcher, Gallery, DeskClock, Music, Playstore, Gmail, Search
changed system-sounds, fonts and icons to JB 4.2.-sounds, fonts and icons
circle battery icon (to get working percentages in circle, install this update.zip after first reboot)
some tweaks in build.prop
netforks_tweak Increase internet, compressing & then decompressing for less data usage, full speed downloads from
some file sharing site which requires premium account, Boosting network signal strength so to have no call drops
some tweaks in iconia_tweaks.init.d for hopefully better battery-life and i/o-scheduler
set better hosts-file to system with more than 200.000 blocked ad-sites
Acer Ring completly deleted, also in System-Settings
all Acer-Apps deleted, except for DOLBY MOBILE
all unused Google-Apps deleted
(you can optional install the piccolo-gapps.zip, if you need some of them.
In that are AcerPrint, new Gmail and GoogleSearch also included)
edit the default wallpaper in framework-res.apk
added 6 apps to /data (you can uninstall the apps if you don't need them):
Apexlauncher, ES-Fileexplorer, Hacker's Keyboard, HDMIScreenstandby, NotificationToggle and PKwebcamwallpaper
choose apexlauncher or new 4.2. launcher on first startup
set settings for Apexlauncher and NotificationToggle
new bootanimation
full functional ROM with all needed system-apk's and a size of 275MB

What is to do?
_________________________________
install CWM-Based Recovery by nothrills, if you don't have it already.
Download the ROM from this post and put the .ZIP file on your internal or external SD Card.
Shutdown your device and start the Recovery by holding the Volume down (**) button and turning it on again.
Please make a Nandroid Backup. Important!
Optional, but recommended when you first install this ROM. Files on your internal or external SD Card are safe.
Install this ROM by choosing install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard or choose zip from external sdcard.
Wait for the installation to finish (this takes some minutes).
now reboot your system and enjoy!
(optional) Set the settings for apexlauncher.
To use it, you must go after reboot to the settings of apexlauncher, there chose backup&restore and restore the settings.
Now your homescreen will be optimized to use. Of course, you can find and set your own settings as well. but I thought
this is usefull for someone. Moreover the ROM will set the notificationtoggle settings, that you can see in your statusbar.
You must do the same, like for apex-settings, open the apk one time, go to settings and restore the backup-file.
Important Notes!
_________________________________
You can also switch between the top-statusbar and bottom-statusbar, if you edit the build.prop in /system with es- or
root-explorer! Search for the line ro.sf.lcd_density=160 and set it to ro.sf.lcd_density=180. Now reboot the
device and you have changed the statusbar.
I am not responsible for anything you do to your tablet. Whatever you do, you do it at your own risk!
This ROM is NOT intended to be flashed on a A700 tablet. It won't boot!
This ROM is pre-rooted and fully Deodexed.
First boot (after the automatic reboot) will take a while (5 minutes is no exception). Just be patient, it will boot faster next time.
When the tablet has completed booting for the first time, give it another few minutes to get 'up to speed'.
It should be much faster after about 5 to 10 minutes.
If you got freezes or something like that, i don't think so, but then please flash the original Acer Kernel by nothrills!
Or you try the PiccoloRom-version with ThrillsKernel 2.6!

Hi JayjoJayson,
First of all Thanks for your work!
Which kernel version are you using? 2.6 or 3.0?
When you say that Dolby Mobile is there you mean in the settings? And can you confirm that it's working?
Regards.

Mhh, that's strange i have edit the systemUI.apk for the circle-battery-icon, therefore you can't find it in the menu!
But if you install the 4.2_piccolo-gapps, the systemUI.apk doesn't change! So the circle battery should be there after install, too.
On my Iconia it works and after intstalling the gapps, the circle-battery works well. If you like the rom, please hit the thanks-button.. :highfive:
Which version do you use, the piccolo_top-Rom-version doesn't support the circle battery.
Or maybe do you mean the percentage by notificationtoggle, then go to notifactiontoogle settings and there you can choose how the percentage is showing in statusbar.
In the red circle there is no percentage, it is just empty. Do you know how to enable it again? I am not sure how i managed it to disable and as I said, i cannot find any toggle for it in the menu

Your screen shot shows the percentage. Or is that not your screen shot?
No, this is the Screenshot from the opening post, I just circled in the Icon that i meant. In my icon there is no percentage. I could not find a quick way to do a Screenshot and upload it, so i took one from the opening post
now i know what you mean exactly M1cha84.. at this time it is just a battery circle, the circle show only 100, 50 an 0 as percentage in circle...
all other percentages are not displayed.. i work on support for all percentages, but something work wrong so i released this version for now..
Ah, ok that makes total sense. I am currently at 57% and it shows 50...thx for the info. Besides that i have nothing negative to say about this Rom, it works really nice

i have integrated the new 3.0 thrillsKernel, mircophone is working now and you have full access to system.
That means you can uninstall with titaniumbackup or systemtuner for example the unused system apps.
really great and big thanks to nothrills for that feature in the new kernel..
enjoy the new version :fingers-crossed:

which piccolo-romversion did you had installed? If you use the piccolo_top-version, then it is normal that the system menu is not displayed like that one from the stock. In piccolo_bottom-version it is diplayed like in stockrom.
did you had wipe/data, wipe/cache and wipe/dalvik before you installed the rom?
for me and i think the other too, the keyboard works very well. Special Characters like ÄÖÜ are no problem, simply hold the letter and choose the ÄÖÜ or what you want..
Also you can change in System-->Language the default language of your keyboard...
Thx for ur hard work. :laugh:

This is a cleaned Rom, therefore is no other email-app included, only as you said it GoogleMail.
I use for my own allways other email-apps, like k9 or what you like.
You can not restore it, i think because of the 4.2. appmod.
I am starting this thread so all issues related to SlimKat Rom can be documented in one single place. Please post your Questions & Answers in here instead of in the SlimKat Rom Thread, lets try and keep that thread clean.
SlimKat ROM Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2511512
All Credit goes to the developers, Please support them for continued development
I will try my best to keep the thread updated and have questions and solutions posted in the first three posts of this Thread:
How to Install SlimKat ROM
Assuming you have already rooted, unlocked boot loader and installed custom recovery. If not there are multitude guides to do so, search in the forum.
Step 1:
Download the following:
Current SlimKat ROM: http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/979-hammerhead
Note SlimKat Rom is in beta currently
Current SlimGapps: http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/978-addons4-4/downloads/dlsearch
Note Slim Gapps are also in Beta, You can choose to download the full Slimgapps or the minimalgapps thats your choice. You can also download the photosphere addon.
Current SuperSu: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Step 2:
Place the downloaded file onto your nexus 5 using the provided cable, alternatively you can also download the files directly onto your phone using the browser.
Reboot into Recovery
Wipe data/factory reset (required)
Wipe Cache Partition (required)
I also always do the following (optional)
In mounts/ Storage
Format /system (optional)
Format /data (optional)
Format/cache (optional)
These are not necessary but I have made it a habit to do so.
Once you have performed the required resets, select Flash Zip file and flash in the following sequence
Flash SlimKat Rom
Flash SlimGapps
Flash SlimPhotoSphere (optional) Note: Does cause audio lag in recorded video with some kernels also videos are darker after photosphere flash. See Q&A section
Flash Kernel ( optional: only if you want to use a custom kernel)
Flash SuperSu ( I prefer SuperSu, SuperUser does not work properly for Me)
Reboot
Now your good to go and setup your phone.
Step 3: (optional)
~ Note for ART I follow this procedure:
After Flashing, once the phone starts I skip through the setup screen
Go to Settings-> About-> tap on build 7 times to enable developer options
Go to Settings-> Developer Options -> Select Runtime --> Art
Reboot and let it finish what its doing takes 10-15 mins.
Once done setup your phone how you like.
Reserved : Guide To SlimKat Features
Features And Guide
Once I have time I will break down all the slim settings and what they do
Features Not Included
PIE - Can be installed using Xposed Framework
HALO - Can be installed using Xposed Framework
NOTE: Xposed Framework does not play nice with ART, You will need to stick with Dalvik to use Xposed.
Feature Request
I will update this as users request features but please dont request features that can be added via addons such as xposed. There is no point adding those features to the ROM, those who want them can always install via Xposed

Questions and Answers
Frequently Asked Question
http://slimroms.net/index.php/faq
These Are for SlimKat 4.4.2 beta 1.95 + Slim_AIO_gapps_4.4.2 beta1.x
These will be updated/removed as SlimKat updates
DPI/ Screen Issues
[Q] What are the default DPI's
Stock Kitkat = 480
Stock SlimKat = 361
Lowest DPI working for me = 370
[Q] Water in the Google Maps app is distorted, streaked or all over the place when zoomed out
Its a DPI issue, this is how i resolved it:
Download: Rom Toolbox lite ( Free) from PlayStore
Run app -> Swipe left to switch tab to performance --> click build.prop Editor button
on this new screen-> swipe right to bring out menu on the left side of the screen
First option is LCD density Click that-->change Value to whatever you want --> click ok and reboot
once Rebooted do the following :
Settings-> Apps-> Maps-->clear data, also clear Cache--> Force Close
Open Maps and confirm everything is working.
Some users have been able to get the maps to work properly at 361 DPI, but the lowest value at which it will work for me is 370. Default Stock Kitkat DPI is 480. Default Stock SlimKat DPI is 361
[Q] Everything is too small on default SlimKat, how can i fix that
two solutions:
go into settings-->display-->font-->change font size to make it bigger
change DPI:
Download: Rom Toolbox lite ( Free) from PlayStore
Run app -> Swipe left to switch tab to performance --> click build.prop Editor button
on this new screen-> swipe right to bring out menu on the left side of the screen
First option is LCD density Click that-->change Value to whatever you want --> click ok and reboot
Default Stock Kitkat DPI is 480, stock SlimKat DPI is 361, 400 ~ 420 DPI works best for me
Recovery
[Q] TWRP asking for a password, even though user never setup a password
When TWRP asks for a password, hit cancel.
Then go to Wipe and Factory Reset.
If that doesn't work, then restart your recovery.
If that still doesn't work then try reflashing TWRP again.
Camera
[Q] What is True View in the Camera App
True view is a camera feature to show the whole field of view of the camera.
By default the field of view is stretched and cut on the sides to fit fullscreen.
http://slimroms.net/index.php/faq/slimbean/323-what-is-true-view
[Q] Why is the Camer app Missing HDR+
HDR+ and Photosphere are closed-source. AKA no way to be built from source and must be distributed as an add-on.
Flash photosphere camera if you want HDR+.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48832042&postcount=27
Note: PhotoSphere Addon currently adds a audio lag in recorded videos and recorded Videos are much darker, Read Q&A below about audio lag when photosphere is installed, link for photosphere is in the first post ( Slim gapps/addons)
[Q] Audio Lag in recorded video after Installing Slim PhotoSphere
Flash a different kernel, that will fix the issue
confirmed fixed with trinity.
in Recovery, without wiping:
Flash ROM
Flash Gapps
Flash PhotoSphere
Flash Kernel of choice
Flash SuperSu
Reboot
NOTE: Videos are much darker when Photosphere addon has been installed
Misc
[Q] How do I access the chamber of secrets on SlimKat
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48830608&postcount=25
[Q] Where are the QuickRecord recordings stored, are they cleared at boot and are they overwritten
/data/data/com.android.systemui/files/
It's never cleared from a reboot, but yes, rewritten each time you record.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48832011&postcount=2577
[Q] Where is the clear all in the recent apps list
Clear all is not there as it is not needed, the list just shows the recently ran apps and provides the means of switching between apps quickly. Android will kill apps when needed there is no need to kill apps
[Q] I have no Mobile Network ( not data but no coverage at all)
This applies to only those who have no mobile network i.e they do not have a signal at all on their device and it does not say no service.
You somehow wiped the radio firmware, That needs to be restored.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514095
[Q] What is ART and what does it do
If you really need to know what ART is then you should not be using ART.
ART stands for Android Run Time, it is an experimental run time which is being developed by google to replace the current dalvik run time. Once released users would be able to get better performance and better battery life.
Currently, as ART is in experimental stage ( I would say Alpha, not even beta) the benefits of switching to ART are minimal. Not all apps are compatible with ART and most users will not see any performance or battery life improvements.
Thats why google buried it deep into the settings. Use at your own discretion. I suggest staying with Dalvik run time till further progress has been made on ART.

I'm not sure how to get that, I think you have to connect the device to the computer and use something in the SDK to be able to record screen, I could be wrong. Try searching for it. If I find a solution I'll let you know.

I am not sure if and when PIE is implemented if it would include LMT with it therefore i left it out. I believe the xposed framework PIE does have LMT support.
Hope there are enough people here to help me out. I've been using Slim ROMs for a couple years on G-Nex and now Nexus 5. On the last couple releases I've been having issues with Google Maps not getting a GPS fix, or when it does get a fix it's off by nearly a mile. GPS Data, Waze, Gas Buddy, etc. all work fine. After spending nearly a day re-flashing the ROM, app, clearing data, etc., I finally tried another ROM (Purity) and discovered that Google Maps gets a fix in less than 10 seconds and is within 20' accuracy. I used the latest Slim Gapps on Slim 1.95 and the CM Gapps on the Purity ROM. Has anyone had similar problems?

Hope there are enough people here to help me out. I've been using Slim ROMs for a couple years on G-Nex and now Nexus 5.

I just reflashed slimkat on my phone, took less then 5 seconds for it to get a GPS lock. Check the following:
Settings-> locations -> mode
Make sure high accuracy is selected
Also are you using a custom kernel ?
Flash sequence for ROMs is
Slimkat ROM
Slimgapps
Kernel ( if using custom kernel)
Supersu ( supersu always comes last)
Reboot.

Anyone have any issues with the stock Slim Explorer app. I've never really used it before as I've always been an ES Explorer user but want to switch having the auto toggle TRDS modes. The app loads up but as soon as I scroll the screen the app closes and I get a "Slim Explorer has stopped" message. I've seen it in the past a handful of times I went to change DPI with it before installing ES. I did a complete clean install(ie. manually wiped everything and re-downloaded and re-setup all my apps instead of restoring them with Titanium), sha matches, so I can't think of anything else that could be the issue. Maybe it doesn't agree with Super SU???
Yep, did all that except for the SuperSU bit. I did use SuperSU on the Purity install though but haven't had any problems with the built in Superuser before. I'll nandroid back to the Slim ROM to give it a try. It was with the stock kernel.

I've had issues with super user so always use supersu, but maps has nothing to do with either.
Did u check the settings?
Also sometimes you have to be outside to get a GPS lock,
Also try this:
Settings -> apps-> maps.
Clear data clear cache force close.
Reboot
Go outside and open maps c if that fixes it

OK, but it will be a while - when I went into recovery (TWRP) it asked for a password (which I haven't set) then failed to backup the existing ROM.

I have Super SU installed and working already seeing as I use Faux kernel as well as I've always had issues(even on a SlimBean port on Evo LTE)with Superuser unmounting the system as RW. It's weird. It only happens when I scroll from within the emulated/legacy/0 storage. I can scroll within the device partition and change settings just fine.
Do you use ART??? Only other thing I can think of.

GUIDE, FAQ and Useful Links
Much of what follows applies to many ROMs. If you have suggestions for things to be added to this guide or find any errors then please let me know.
Purpose and Rules of XDA
XDA is a developers site. It is for learning and sharing. It is not here to "provide" apps or support to users. Most of the people that develop or help or support do so in their free time. No one "owes" you anything. You are not "entitled" to anything. Those that help others, are polite and try to help themselves will be more likely receive helpful and polite assistance.
Rule number one of XDA is : Search
Other rules include:
Be respectful
Be tolerant
Be hepful
Don't be an ass
Q&A or Dev Thread?
The development thread is for development issues, "bug reports", where something clearly doesn't work or doesn't work as intended.
But you should only report on the development thread if you have clean flashed.
A little banter is accepted in the development thread, but please don't turn the thread into a chat room.
The Q&A is more "free". There you can mention issues after a dirty flash, but we might ask you to clean flash if we suspect that may be the problem.
Anything related to third party apps, kernels or gapps should be posted in the Q&A, as should any general questions like where is this option, how do I change that setting, does this ROM have this feature etc.
Flashing
You should clean install for best results. If you "dirty flash" then at least wipe cache and dalvik/ART and you MUST provide logs with any issues.
Clean v Dirty Flash
There are a number of interpretations of clean flash. In recovery you should factory reset or wip everything except internal storage. This will wipe your apps and most app settings.
Whilst there are ways of backing up your settings they are not recommended because they can cause issues when there are changes to the ROM which affect how settings are stored or recorded. Do not restore system data: this often leads to forced closes and constant error messages.
You can use a backup app like Titanium Backup or Parcel. Sometimes restored apps can cause issues, and it is better and cleaner to re-download them, although not everyone has the time or inclination to do this.
If you do not wipe as per above, then you are dirty flashing. This is quicker and often works. But because things are left behind from the previous flash this can result in weird issues. When you dirty flash you really should wipe cache and dalvik/ART, so that there aren't residual
Reporting Issues
Before Reporting Issues
If you have issues with your new flashed system there are a few things to do before you report them.
First, if you have dirty flashed then try a clean flash to see if the issue remains - many issues are cleared this way. Also, it is very difficult to pin-point certain issues after a dirty flash.
Also, if you have Xposed installed then remove that before reporting. This is because Xposed can change things deep within the OS and make things behave differently, which in turn makes it very difficult to troubleshoot and resolve issues. This is Xposed hate - many devs require this and will not offer any support if Xposed is installed.
Reboot. It's surprising how many issues can be resolved by this simple step. Especially if an app is misbehaving or using a lot of battery.
How to Report An Issue
Report them in the Q&A. If relevant they will be promoted to the dev thread or we will inform the devs.
The biggest bugbear of those trying to help with issues is when they are not properly reported and require to have the same questions answered over and over. The circumstances may require different information, but here are a few common items to consider posting:
Version. Often people miss this and are reporting something that was solved days or weeks ago. Others say "latest" when it may not be. Quote the version number and/or build date.
Firmware. Again, quote the date or source.
GApps. The GApps version can affect which version of Google Play Services and PlayStore, amongst others that are used. Whilst often GApps can be "out of date" without any issue, when there is a lot of development by CM this can be very relevant.
Whether you clean or dirty flashed.
A log. Necessary if you dirty flashed, very useful even if you clean flashed. See below for how to do this.
How to replicate the issue. The more specific about how the issue arises and when, the more likely you are to get a quick resolution. If no one can replicate the issue it is unlikely they can resolve the issue.
How to Take a Log
This is an excellent guide.
Some kernels have their own log/bug report option to make things easier.

Frequently Asked Questions
No one answered my question.
Maybe no one has read it yet - you may need to give it time. Maybe no one knows the answer yet. Have you already tried to solve the issue? Were you polite? Did you give enough information? There is no need to keep bumping your post.
Which folder does the OTA file get downloaded to? Is it the full file or just the incremental update? Are there nightlies?
/sdcard/Download and it's the full file. They aren't nightly but they are normally very frequent.
Which firmware / modem should I use?
The latest firmware used by the dev is listed above. There may be newer versions, so see the linked threads for firmware and modems. It's important you read up about what you are flashing at this level and this thread could never be totally up to date. Many people flash the latest CM12 nightly ROM which includes these files.
Does BlissPop support Layers / RRO?
No. It has the CM theme engine.
Can I use Xposed?
Yes. But please don't report issues if you have Xposed. It changes things deep in the OS and needs to be kept patched. Devs can waste days looking for a problem that isn't related to the ROM.
Here are some instructions for installing Xposed from @magnamentis:
a) nandroid
b) flash rom, kernel, gapps & whatever is due or wanted and at the very end "EACH TIME" flash the sdk22.zip provided in links above.
c) boot and install app (xposed apk povided in links above)
d) SOFT-reboot and don't pay attention to the red text indicating that it can only be installed manually. just SOFT-reboot
.... it must be a softy otherwise one could get a failed attemt, have heard and seen various versions but with soft reboot it always works.
e) check the framework state i the xposed app, should be 61 green for app process and 64 green for xposedbridge.jar, both under active.
undre bundled must be triple dashes.
f) only then install modules and check them under modules and SOFT-reboot. albeit from here normal reboot would work, it's still safer to
...do a softy until all is proven to be up and running. this will map out one possible reason for eventual errors which in my case never happened.
g) to uninstall the available uninstaller zip has been reported to work while others say no. so it seems device specific. what you can do ist either revert back to the nandroid you made under a) or if you're using xposed for a while and will likely not want to revert back to an old rom+all version
LOL then you can use the uninstaller.zip available on rovo89's threads and which has been provide many times all over, or you can first uninstall all modules like apps, as well as the xposed app like any other app and then manually remove the following files BEFORE REBOOTING albeit there will most probably be no reason since all works well.
h) manually uninstall/deactivate xposed: remove /data/app/de.robv.android.xposed.installer folder/files in it. should you boot by accident before done or for some reason get into a bootloop ( never happened to me ) you can still boot into recovery and delete the above folder and it's files at least from twrp recovery while other recoveries don't have a file manager as far as i've seen.
Which kernel is best for....?
Stock, Boeffla and ak kernels all get frequent good comments, and there are several other good kernels. So much depends on you: your setup, apps, usage, signal. The list goes on. The real best way to find out is try them for yourself; give each one a few days to settle and you can observe battery usage, smoothness, speed, tweakability etc. But there is no Holy Grail kernel - one that gives the best of everything for everybody. "Performance" and "battery" aren't mutally exclusive, but akernel set up heavily to favour one will almost certainly compromise the other. Kernel governors and hotplugs also have an effect. If you are interested in a kernel, read some of the kernel thread.
One last point. When there are changes from CM the date and commits of a kernel can be important so the kernel and ROM aren't out of sync.
How is Battery Life
This often gets asked, but there is no clear answer that suits everyone. So lets start of by saying the team finds battery life to be very good.
There are however many things affecting battery life. Your apps, settings and signal all have a big effect. As does how often your apps are updating and whether over wifi or mobile data. Additionally, which kernel and it's settings also have an effect. As does screen brightness. Certain social and messaging apps can have a huge drain. How often you flash a new ROM has a big effect too. Ideally, from a battery life perspective, you should allow everything to settle and go through a couple of charge cycles. With the frequency of BlissPop updates I have never achieved this!
So every user will have different battery life and typical screen on time. Make sure when doing comparisons you really do it on a like for like basis.
If you want to investigate battery usage, consider apps like Wakelock Detector (WLD) and Better Battery Stats (BBS) as well as GSAM Battery Monitor. These will often pinpoint where battery is being consumed and what is waking your device. Quite often you will see an app misbehaving which can often be resolved with a simple reboot.

Optimising Your Set up
Floating Window
Notes from @tobitege:
Enable "Development shortcuts" in Developer options
Recents: long-tap on app icon on an app's title bar to get popup, select "Floating mode"
App bar and Omniswitch: long-tap an app to open in floating mode
Notification drawer: long-tap notification then tap new floating icon to open app in floating window
Baseband/Firmware/Modem
If you have come from KitKat, Oxygen etc you are likely on the "wrong" firmware and modem. There are several threads around XDA showing various options. @tobitege details the suggested firmware in his update posts, as well as the link above. But here is a simple one-size-fits-all, once only solution:
Backup your apps and app data using Titanium Backup. A nandroid backup is also advised.
Ensure you are on TWRP 2.8.6.0. Some of the later versions have some issues that can affect the success of this process.
Download and clean flash a recent CM nightly. No need for GApps or anything else. This will update various "partitions" including firmware and modem.
Boot. No need to set anything up, just reboot back to recovery.
Clean flash BlissPop and GApps.
Enjoy!
Notifications
Sometimes these display as white on white. A quick fix is using a dark or transparent theme.
Go to Settings, Bliss interface, Heads up and change custom colors. You could tap the reset button to reset to Android colors.

Kernel
Your personal opinion, what gapps and kernel works best with bliss lollipop?
Can't find features / app
Hello and first thank you for your great work about this rom. This is my first lollipop rom, it works fine but I have some problems, I can't find features / apps like Power Menu Actions, Pie Controls, OmniSwitch, ...
I reinstalled the rom clean, but the problem stays, not all features comes with the fresh rom.
Any ideas ? thanks by advance

NOTE: For those asking about an update of this rom to the latest QK1 baseband, it appears that you can now manually update this rom to QK1 in Settings without adding any stock bloat or damaging the rom. For more info, please refer to this post HERE.
UPDATE: The Xposed Framework works with this rom. You can find more info on that HERE.
Hey guys! I thought I'd make this super lite version of the new "N920TUVU4EQC6" Nougat stock firmware for all my fellow T-Mobile Note 5-ers out there. It's much smaller than the official stock firmware package, but please note that I didn't get rid of all the Samsung or Gapps stuff like many debloated roms do. I basically tried to make the rom as lite as possible without reducing any functionality of the S Pen, networking, Settings & Quick Settings options, image & video editing capabilities, S Health heartbeat sensor functionality, S Voice and TTS stuff, etc., so I left all the necessary stuff to do that. I left the Play Store installed too, so no one has to flash a Gapps package just to download apps. Any other Google apps you want you can just download from HERE or you can actually still install a Gapps package if you really want too. I've tested the ones from OpenGapps btw and they work fine with this rom.(Just make sure you're selecting "ARM64", "7.0" & whatever Gapps package you want.) Keep in mind too that anything Google you add increases your online footprint, releases a lot more data over the web and decreases your own level of security.
The main thing I focused on for this rom though was the personal security of the user.
Security Features:
- VPN/TOR support For Online Anonymity.(via Orbot)
To get started using this feature right away and secure yourself just:
1) Make sure you've updated to the newest version of "Orbot" from the Play Store.(Contains some fixes for some crashes that were happening for some.)
2) Open Orbot from the "Security" folder on the home page.
3) Hit the "Start" button.
4) Click the top left menu and switch on "Apps VPN Mode".
5) Click "Proxy All" Button at the bottom of the next page.
That's it. You're done.
NOTE: Some users have reported experiencing force closes in Orbot for some reason when trying to apply the above settings for the first time. If this happens then just open android Settings and go to Apps>Orbot and click on "Force Stop" Then click on "Storage" below and tap "Clear Data". Should fix the issue. The latest version in the Play Store says that it fixes some crashes, so make sure Orbot is fully up to date.
- More Secure Web Browsing & Web Search Options.(via Orfox & DuckDuckGo)
Orfox browser comes with Tor already built in and is best for remaining anonymous online. DuckDuckGo is good for private searches and doing things that Orfox may block for security purposes. You can enable Tor in the DuckDuckGo browser settings if you want too, though all your apps should already be running on a private connection(VPN) as it is if you followed the Orbot steps above.
- Private Calls & SMS/MMS Text Messaging.(via Signal)
INSTRUCTIONS(To See Your Text Messages):
1) Open the Signal app at the bottom of the home page.
2) Enter your phone #.
3) Click the "Register" button.
Your texts will then appear and will be private/encrypted from now on. You can make private calls through the app too.
NOTE: If you must have the stock messaging app, then please refer to this post HERE.
- A Secure Password Manager For Creating & Storing Encrypted Passwords For All Your Accounts.(via Keepass2Android)
- 2-Factor Authentication Support For Your Accounts Providing The Ability To Generate 2 Step Verification Codes For Secure Log Ins.(via Authy)
You will have to sign up for 2 Step Verification with your account provider(Facebook, Google or wherever) first before you can use this service. Then you will have to authenticate it with the app. Afterwards when you try and log into your account it will ask you for a 6 digit token # to access your account which this app provides. Makes it so no one else can access your account even if they had your password because they would need to have your device as well to access it.
- Functionality To Block The Camera From Being Opened Secretly For Anti-Spyware Protection.(via Camera Blocker)
Camera Blocker Instructions
- Real-Time Connection Monitor For Tracking Exactly Where Your Apps Are Connecting To Visually On A Map.(via SpyMonitor)
I just added this one as a fun little extra security feature. It is good to check from time to time where all your data is going though.
- Best of all though, if you don't really want any of that stuff and just want to further debloat, I added an option for people to delete whatever system or user apps they want.(via System App Safe Remover)
NOTE: These are all important features for protecting your identity online, for more information on all the features listed above, please just look the corresponding apps up in the Play Store. If anyone wants more information about deleting apps or restoring some of the stock apps to the rom for whatever reason, then they should read this comment HERE.
Other Features:
Aroma Installer
Roots With No-Verity-Opt-Encrypt & SuperSU on install.
Init.d Support
Deodexed
Deknoxed
Debloated
Custom QC6 Lite Boot & Shutdown Animations
Custom Anonymous/Guy Fawkes Theme
Latest Version of the S8 TouchWiz Launcher
Latest Version of Bixby
Known Issues(and their fixes):
Bixby- Needs to update ICS(Interactive and Customized Services), but won't when you try to update. This is an issue on Samsung's end that came about recently. To get it to work you just have to install Personalization Service Client from HERE. You can always just touch and hold on the homescreen and toggle the switch to turn off Bixby if you don't want it too.
Orbot- If you experience any force closes, then make sure you've fully updated it in the Play Store. Latest version contains some important crash fixes.
Gear VR Function- I removed this stuff originally just to further debloat some of the extra Samsung stuff, but if anyone has Gear or a Gear VR device and wants those files back, then just flash the restore file from the Downloads page in TWRP. Thanks!.
Voice Typing- To enable the microphone in Samsung Keyboard, then just check out this post HERE
Netflix- This app is not included with the rom, but just as an honorable mention, Netflix doesn't work right out of the box. This is not a rom issue. This is a Netflix issue. You may not even find Netflix in the Play Store because it is not technically supported for the Note 5 on the new Nougat SDK yet. To fix this though, then just first download the newest Netflix app(version 4.16.1 build 15145 or newer) from HERE and then use ES File Explorer to find and delete the file "liboemcrypto.so" from "/system/lib/" so you don't experience any service interruption.

2) Wipe
3) Flash Rom In TWRP (root and SuperSU included) & Reboot
4) WAIT!(See note below.)
5) Hit the "Thanks" button or feel free to Donate for my time.
NOTE: First boot may take several minutes(possibly as much as 5-10 mins even). It may reboot a few times as well as it roots and installs SuperSU...If you prefer Magisk for whatever reason, then just download the Magisk app and open it. I believe it should guide you through the process of switching over. Personally, I prefer the functionality & simplicity of SuperSU though.
Happy flashing guys! If you like the rom, then be sure to tap either the THANKS or DONATE buttons below. Thank you!

Well, I don't know about about Audio Mod, though it looks like you can just flash the file from here if this is the one you meant:

Hadn't thought about tethering hotspot either, though, depending on what you want to do, I did leave the mobile Hotspot app in the rom for doing hotspot over wifi. There is always the Android Beam function if you just want to transfer files or share links, contacts, etc. from one device to another. It's not the same as tethering though I know. Maybe I'll look into incorporating that if I can at some point later on down the road if/when I get some more extra time.
thanks for the link.
I meant unlimited tethering hotspot. Tmobile limit 5 GB at 4GLTE, after that still can tether ...but at 2G speed which is useless nowadays.
Anyways...after reboot, ROM is still at very 1st screen. haven't SAMSUNG logo yet. 10 pass already

As it says in the OP, you may have to wait awhile for the 1st boot to complete. Possibly even 5-10 minutes. Also, it may reboot up to 3 times or so on 1st boot while it roots. Believe me, it works really good. Using it right now in fact. Just have to be patient the 1st boot up.
1) Wipe.
2) Reflash.
3) Wait!
followed all of your steps to activate Orbot...but keeps FC

Strange. Try clearing the data on it in Settings and reboot.

Yes. Multi-language is actually quite built in now. Just go to "Settings>General Management>Language and Input, Language", then click on "Add Language" and add whatever language you desire.
Note: Click top right menu and click on "All Languages" to see more languages if yours doesn't appear.

View attachment 4132658Hey guys! I thought I'd make this super lite version of the new "N920TUVU4EQC6" Nougat stock firmware for all my fellow T-Mobile Note 5-ers out there. It's much smaller than the official stock firmware package, but please note that I didn't get rid of all the Samsung or Gapps stuff like many debloated roms do. I basically tried to make the rom as lite as possible without reducing any functionality of the S Pen, networking, Settings & Quick Settings options, image & video editing capabilities, S Health heartbeat sensor functionality, S Voice and TTS stuff, etc., so I left all the necessary stuff to do that. I left the Play Store installed too, so no one has to flash a Gapps package just to download apps. Any other Google apps you want you can just download from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/
The main thing I focused on for this rom though was the personal security of the user.
Security Features:
- VPN/TOR support For Online Anonymity.(via Orbot)
To get started using this feature right away and secure yourself just:
1) Open Orbot from the "Security" folder on the home page.
2) Hit the "Start" button.
3) Click the top left menu and switch on "Apps VPN Mode".
4) Click "Proxy All" Button at the bottom of the next page.
That's it. You're done.
- More Secure Web Browsing & Web Search Options.(via Orfox & DuckDuckGo)
- Private Calls & SMS/MMS Text Messaging.(via Signal)
- A Secure Password Manager For Creating & Storing Encrypted Passwords For All Your Accounts.(via Keepass2Android)
- 2-Factor Authentication Support For Your Accounts Providing The Ability To Generate 2 Step Verification Codes For Secure Log Ins.(via Authy)
- Functionality to block the camera from being opened secretly For Anti-Spyware Protection.(via Camera Blocker)
- Real-Time Connection Monitor For Tracking Exactly Where Your Apps Are Connecting To Visually On A Map.(via SpyMonitor)
- Best of all though, if you don't really want any of that stuff and just want to further debloat, I added an option for people to delete whatever system or user apps they want.(via System App Safe Remover)
NOTE: These are all extremely important features for protecting your identity online, for more information on all the features listed above, please just look the corresponding apps up in the Play Store.
Other Features:
Aroma Installer
Roots With No-Verity-Opt-Encrypt & SuperSU on install.
Init.d Support
Deodexed
Deknoxed
Debloated
Custom QC6 Lite Boot & Shutdown Logos
Custom Anonymous/Guy Fawkes Theme
Latest Version of the S8 TouchWiz Launcher
Latest Version of Bixby
Known Bugs:
Bixby- Needs to update ICS(Interactive and Customized Services). It takes MANY tries to get it to update, but when it finally does, everything works fine. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72084170&postcount=11
This is an issue on Samsung's end that came about recently. You can always just touch and hold on the homescreen and toggle the switch to just turn off Bixby if you want too.
Prerequisites:
Root
Custom Recovery https://dl.twrp.me/noblelte/twrp-3.1.0-0-noblelte.img.tar.html
SM-N920T Only!!!
DISCLAIMER: I Am Not Responsible For What You Do To Your Device. Flash At Your Own Risk.
Installation:
1) Download Rom To Device.
DOWNLOAD HERE
2) Flash Rom In TWRP (root and SuperSU included)
3) Reboot
4) WAIT!(See note below.)
NOTE: First boot may take several minutes(possibly as much as 5-10 mins even). It may reboot a few times as well as it roots and installs SuperSU...If you prefer Magisk for whatever reason, then just download the Magisk app and open it. I believe it should guide you through the process of switching over. Personally, I prefer the functionality & simplicity of SuperSU though.
Happy flashing guys! If you like the rom, then be sure to hit either THANKS or DONATE buttons below. Thank you!
Update Details:
v.1.0 -
Added: Custom Boot/Shutdown Animations, Automatic Root By SuperSU On Install, Multiple Security Apps, Mobile Data Toggle In Quick Settings, New Apps & Widgets Set On The Homescreen By Default To Help You Get Started.
Updated: Bixby Instead Of Flipboard, TouchWiz Updated To S8 Version, Google Search Changed To DuckDuckGo Search, Stock Text Messaging App Replaced With Signal Private Messenger App, Limited Stock File Browser Replaced With ES File Explorer
Fixed: Samsung Health Not Working On Rooted Nougat Device Issue

Signal is the messaging app. It says that in the OP. Just type in your phone number and press register and then you will see your text messages. I replaced it for more security because it is a way of getting text messages(and making calls) privately.

Same happens with me as well, But I assure you the settings are still working if you changed anything. The only thing would be clearing the data and doing everything over again if you want to change your settings. I don't know why it does this but it's the only way that's been working for me so far.
As for the bixby ICS, just install the Personalization Service Client from APKMIRROR LINK and it will update it.
The only thing I'm having problem with is the bixby vision not being recognized on photos. I don't know if it have to do with installing the updated bixby files from apkmirror before updating the app, as I should of just left it as default since bogarty said it was on latest. So i'm unsure of that as scrolling to left works though, just not bixby voice and vision. Gonna Dirty Flash ROM and see if it fixes the problem.
Other than that, the ROM is pretty nice, enjoy the security done with this ROM.

Thanks Tray! You're right. Personalization Service does fix Bixby. I'll add the link to the OP. I haven't tried installing Bixby Vision yet, it's possible it may only work with the newest camera 7.0.x. I tried adding that camera to the rom actually, but it wasn't compatible.

You might also check and see if you need to update the app in the Play Store too. The latest update lists:
* Fixes for app selection screen layout and crash bugs.
* Fixes for native code crashes for some devices.
EDIT: By the way, if you guys ever want to change your Tor identity on the fly too, then you can just open the app and swipe the green onion picture in any direction.
Thanks for this dev. Has anyone gotten a hang on Install upon completion? After "Installation completed successfully", when I clicked NEXT, I got a full freeze. Waited 15 mins, nothing...
*Edited for keyboard battery dying, LOL.
I was able to hard reset and get back into TWRP. Tried installing again, this time I did it w/safe wipe and it seems to be working. Will keep you posted on results after light use. Thanks again.

If it completed successfully, then just hold down the power button and reboot. Should be fine. First boot will take awhile.
Just went through and further explained all the security features in the OP. Added some images too as a guide. Hope this helps those who want to fully take advantage of those features.
