The best way to make this tool even better....Give your input, what would you like to see?
Awesome. thanks for this!
I already have root and I kinda went on a deleting spree when i got root... I uninstalled a dozen or two apps that I figured I didn't need. I realize it probably wasnt the best idea and I probably should have frozen them first, but oh well. I think i caused some random battery drains now and am thinking about what to do next. I can think of two options:
1)Odin back to stock/Run this tool^ --> is there any way around loosing my data when I Odin?
2)Wait for SS/install custom ROM --> The custom ROM should replace anything I messed up right?
I also implemented the fix to write to SD. Any advice you have would be great! I am not having major problems with my phone by any means. I'm just looking for the best experience.
The way I compiled the executable may pull up as a Virus in Symantec Endpoint but I assure you it is not.

If you are unsure about anything removed that might cause harm then ODIN'ing back to stock would be recommend. I usually only use ODIN when I want that "out of the box / from scratch" mind set. If your phone has no real malfunctions (like you said) try downloading a battery monitoring app. I use battery Doctor.

We could add a package, it would be large, to push all the deleted files back to the device and set permissions to each. It would be challenging but ultimately can be done, if needed. That is of course if you didn't want to wipe the entire phone. In my other thread I put downloadable links to each app that was removed with the original debloat script. OP you can link to those if you wish.

wouldnt it be easier for a talented person to create a no wipe odin tar? one that wont wipe phone at all but will reinstall the system and put back anything that was undone keeping everything else intact.. if possible would be a lot easier than making a package to load everything back

It's kind of a one stop shop for installing UBS drivers, rooting, debloating and adding mods. Still a WIP
A couple of ideas based upon what I've seen requested on the forum:
1) Native wifi tether subscription bypass
2) A shortcut on the pull down menu for 1)

If I stop the system like I've been doing I don't see why framework modifications are not a possibility. I'll play around tonight when my wife and daughter are sleeping.
Update it seems there is ONLY a deodexed version of the framework patch for NAtive Wifi Tether Bypass. Until I play more the only thing we can offer is adb installing X Tether and Xposed.
Thanks for this, used it to remove some bloatware i missed!!!

...this isn't that type of program. That's something you can either download from the playstore for a custom toggle switch, or wait for ROMs to come out. Or do what I did and download Xposed and added the long press volume up button that enables flashlight with phone off.

If you (or someone else) wants to take the time to edit the necessary files for this to work I'd be more then willing to add it to the tool.
The procedure can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617552
I am at work and do not have time to decompile / recompile these files. Nor are we allowed to have such software on our PC's (APKTOOL)
Like I said, if someone wants to edit the files and recompile them. Send them to my e-mail [email protected] and I will add this function to the TOOLKIT

Despair, Inc. - All of the Demotivators in this mod.
Insomnia - Making me bored enough to do this.
Requirements
Possibly Root - I assume you have to be rooted since this is replacing a system app.
HDPI/MDPI Compatible
Android 1.5+ - I assume this because minSDKversion is set to 3 by default in AndroidManifest.xml.
Only supports English (res/values/arrays.xml).
About
Basically, I couldn't sleep and was bored and was thinking about how unused/useless the Protips widget is and wanted to make it a little bit more usable. I like to laugh; I like sarcasm and bad humor; I like Demotivators, so all this just sort of came together. I take no credit at all for these; I just put them into this mod. I included all of the Demotivators that I could; there were 7/8 that would not fit because of the length of them; they are pretty easy to find if you go to the site and look through them. Also, there are no pictures included with this because it would have decreased the amount of text I could include. If you have never seen/read any of the Demotivators, then I suggest you go to the site and at least look through all of them because some of them don't make a ton of sense without the picture, but I included those anyways because they make me laugh, and I know what the picture looks like regardless.
Screenshot
The app uses the stock images, this is just using my theme engine theme. Mainly just to give an idea of text.

Installation
ADB Install
Code:
adb install -r Demotivators_HDPI-signed.apk
ADB Push
Code:
adb remount
adb push Demotivators_HDPI-signed.apk /system/app/Protips.apk
Install like a normal APK file (untested)
I changed the versionCode and versionName, so this should in theory be able to be installed from the sdcard like any other app, but is untested.
Code:
Place APK on sdcard, and install with file browser of choice.
ZIP File
Code:
Place file on sdcard and flash in recovery.
Usage
Longpress on homescreen, select widgets, select Demotivators, press widget to cycle, enjoy.
Download
HDPI APK File - http://bit.ly/gkuscw
HDPI ZIP File - http://bit.ly/igdKqO
Flash in recovery.
MDPI APK File - http://bit.ly/hZRNdl
MDPI ZIP File - http://bit.ly/i5YMdj
Flash in recovery.
Ending Notes
I hope you enjoy this and get some laughter out of it. I know I do, and it's much needed sometimes.
This is classic! Great work man! Thanks for thinking of this... (ah, the productivity of insomnia) Hmm, could be an original demotivator. "Insomnia... (Won't think of anything funny to put in here until I'm laying in bed tonight)"
Installed fine using astro for me. Thanks for this.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Strange thing, app installs fine but when I add the widget to my homescreen it shows the Android-hints widget.
Installed it through ES-file explorer, IO-file explorer and Super Manager. I'm not able to install it the other way.
Anyone else having this issue?
mmmh made sth. wrong... only get the normal tipps but no demotivations... installed the app via the posted direct-download link
install failed
I tried to install using RootExplorer but was denied. Failed to install. Am going to continue trying and will edit post after I succeed.
EDIT: I finally got a free minute to try again and have successfully installed using terminal emulator and jrummy's Roottools market app. I had to use Roottools to mount system bc I can never remember the correct way to type it in terminal emulator. Here's my method :
1. Mount system with Roottools
2. Open Terminal Emulator and type the following:
PHP:
su
cp /mnt/sdcard/download/Demotivators_HDPI-signed.apk /system/app/protips.apk
reboot
The widget will be in the list after booting back up.
NOTE: Your file may be in a different location and you will need to modify the command accordingly.
Its not allowing me to install. Tells me to 'upgrade'. Its confusing it with protips. Rooted Epic, stock using Astro.

I put a .zip file to flash in recovery in the OP that you can try instead trying to install like a normal apk. I'm not sure of what the issue is.
This is just a modified version of Protips which is why it's trying to make you "upgrade" it.
funny app
great way to replace that horrible Protips app lol. I just used Root Explorer, and went to the System/Apps folder. Just rename Protips.apk to Protips.bak (so you still have it) then just move the Demotivational app to System/Apps and rename it to Protips.apk. Then I just rebooted my phone, went to my widgets, and added it easily

Demotivators is in the widget list, so the installation went fine. But when you put the widget on your homescreen, the hints-widget shows up.

--THIS IS NOT MY WORK. ALL CREDIT GOES TO BLACKWATCH89 FOR GETTING THE FILES TOGETHER IN THIS THREAD. THIS IS JUST AN ACCUMALATION AND AN EASIER WAY OF MAKING IT WORK. --
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MESSES UP ON YOUR PHONE. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!1!1!1111
THIS WILL ONLY WORK FOR STOCK BASED ROMS- I.E STOCK 2.3.3, WOLFBREAK V6, POSSIBLY OTHERS BUT HAVE NOT TESTED ON OTHERS.
-This will add SE Home launcher, Media discovery, app discovery,world clock, calendar apps.
okay, here it goes. It's not as simple as it looks so PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
THINGS YOU'LL NEED
-Root explorer or equivalent
-Flashable zip with MOST files:DOWNLOAD HERE
-SEMCFacebookProxy.apk:DOWNLOAD HERE
-SE 2.3.4 Home launcher (all widgets work on this and you can share apps as well):DOWNLOAD HERE
INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE FOLLOW CAREFULLY AND DONT SKIP ANY STEPS.
1.REMOVE ALL FACEBOOK ACCOUNTS! I.E Remove Facebook inside xperia account and facebook sync account. Also, if you want to be extra safe, go to your facebook-privacy settings-apps and websites and REMOVE the facebook inside xperia option.
2.Download all files required, put zips and SEMCFacebookProxy.apk on SDCARD.
3.Flash FB02.zip using xrecovery. Flash 2.3.4 home launcher as well. Wipe dalvik cache.FIX PERMISSIONS (IMPORTANT).Reboot.
4.Install SEMCFacebookProxy.apk using some file explorer. It should install perfectly.
5.Login to facebook, choose sync settings. If everything worked properly you should get a facebook inside xperia message asking for permission options in notification bar.
6.Using root explorer, go to system/app and MOVE SEMCFacebookService.apk to sdcard. Reboot, then INSTALL the same SEMCFacebookService.apk from your sdcard. Reboot again. You might get another authorization notification but that's okay, everything should be working perfectly now.
Troubleshooting
1.If you don't get a prompt asking you to authorize Facebook inside Xperia, REMOVE your facebook sync and FIX sync. Then, relogin into facebook, choose sync options, it should come up.
2.Sharing apps MIGHT not work on new 2.3.4 Home launcher. It might work for you but it's no guarantee. It didn't work for me, but did wrok for others. One thing you can try if it isn't working is to UNINSTALL 2.3.4 launcher by deleting home.apk from system/app (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANOTHER LAUNCHER!) and reflash it!
3.If you get connection problems with media discovery, try fixing permissions using xrecovery
Have fun!

uploaded:Download here
Warning: I am not responsible if I am not responsible if loading this rom hard bricks your tab. Install this at your own risk.
NOTE: This ROM is not compatible with Gary9d's Kernel
DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 plus
DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON GT-P6200
If you do install this on another device besides GT-P6210, you will soft brick your tab and I WILL NOT be able to help you out since I DO NOT have those devices.
I'm not sure if this will work on all the GT-P6210 from all regions since I don't have a samsung galaxy tab 7 plus from europe or any other place.
I am only sure that it will work on the American GT-P6210
Ok, so this is the first rom I have ever made so please be patient with me. If any of you more experienced developers see something wrong with this rom, please tell me so that I can fix it. The rom is based samsung's LA3 firmware.
Here are the rom features:
build.prop tweaks (improved touch screen response, enabled launcher hardware acceleration, experimental dalvik heapsize, possible battery saving tweaks, etc).
zip-aligned apps
removed bloatware (mostly samsung's apps such as their music player and store)
de-odexed
root (just install superuser from the market)(I don't take credit for this, Garyd9 is the one that got us root access for our device).
Go Launcher HD for tablet as default launcher (removed the crappy touchwiz-honeycomb launcher)
The rom is very basic right now, but I will be adding more features later on.
Installation instructions:
First you must have clockworkmod recovery installed. If you don't already have it installed go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379532 and follow the instructions
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO A BACKUP BEFORE IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH THE INSTALLATION.
Once you have clockworkmod recovery installed, download the omgbbqrom betav1.zip and put it on your device memory. Then boot into clockworkmod recovery and choose
-install zip from sdcard
then
-choose zip from sdcard (not choose zip from internal sdcard, because thats actually the external sd card)
then
look for "OMGBBQROM Final Release" and select it
then
It will ask your to confirm install, select "-yes - install OMGBBQROM BETA v1". Wait for it to install.
I also recommend wiping dalvik cache, battery stats and fixing permissions. But it is not completely necessary
After it has finished installing go back to the main menu and look for -wipe data/factory reset and select it and choose "-yes -- delete all user data". When its done wiping the data reboot your tablet and wait for it to start up.
It will take about 5 min to boot up. It will stay on the samsung screen for a while because it's organizing all the new files. The first boot may be a little laggy because the market will be restoring all the apps to your tab.
Change Log:
v1.0: Initial Release
v1.1: Modified dalvik heapsize and zip-aligned system folder for real now. Improved wifi and improved video and audio streaming
v2.0: Improved battery life with deeper sleep. Disabled dithering for better performance. Enabled Dalvik VM Just-In-Time Compiler.
OMGBBQROM BETA v1.0 OBSOLETE AND CRAPPY
OMGBBQROM BETA v1.1 Removed (this one was mostly for testing purposes)(Please download the final release)
OMGBBQROM Final Release Removed for now (Need to add some fixes)

Warning: I am not responsible if I am not responsible if loading this rom hard bricks your tab. Install this at your own risk.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 plus
DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON GT-P6200
If you do install this on another device besides GT-P6210, you will soft brick your tab and I WILL NOT be able to help you out since I DO NOT have those devices.
I'm not sure if this will work on all the GT-P6210 from all regions since I don't have a samsung galaxy tab 7 plus from europe or any other place.
I am only sure that it will work on the American GT-P6210
Ok, so this is the first rom I have ever made so please be patient with me. If any of you more experienced developers see something wrong with this rom, please tell me so that I can fix it. The rom is based samsung's LA3 firmware.
Here are the rom features:
build.prop tweaks (improved touch screen response, enabled launcher hardware acceleration, experimental dalvik heapsize, possible battery saving tweaks, etc).
zip-aligned apps
removed bloatware (mostly samsung's apps such as their music player and store)
de-odexed
root (just install superuser from the market)(I don't take credit for this, Garyd9 is the one that got us root access for our device).
Go Launcher HD for tablet as default launcher (removed the crappy touchwiz-honeycomb launcher)
The rom is very basic right now, but I will be adding more features later on.
Installation instructions:
First you must have clockworkmod recovery installed. If you don't already have it installed go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379532 and follow the instructions
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO A BACKUP BEFORE IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH THE INSTALLATION.
Once you have clockworkmod recovery installed, download the omgbbqrom betav1.zip and put it on your device memory. Then boot into clockworkmod recovery and choose
-install zip from sdcard
then
-choose zip from sdcard (not choose zip from internal sdcard, because thats actually the external sd card)
then
look for OMGBBQROM BETA v1 and select it
then
It will ask your to confirm install, select -yes - install OMGBBQROM BETA v1. Wait for it to install.
After it has finished installing go back to the main menu and look for -wipe data/factory reset and select it and choose -yes -- delete all user data. When its done wiping the data reboot your tablet and wait for it to start up.
It will take about 5 min to boot up. It will stay on the samsung screen for a while because it's organizing all the new files.

Doesn't seem like he themed it much, so it should *almost* look identical to stock.
With that being said, I'm downloading now. Will install/test once I'm off of work at 7pm (pacific time) and I'll let you know how its running

Sure no problem, I'll upload some screenshots in a little while. I hope the 3g version gets some roms soon too!

Yep, I didn't theme anything. I did try to change the font of the lockscreen clock to the roboto ice cream sandwich font but for some reason the hour part of the clock kept getting cut off. So for example the time was 8:30, then you would only see the right half of the number 8 lol. So for right now im leaving it with the stock honeycomb clock font. But I'll post a screenshot of that so you guys can see what I mean.
Roboto Font
Honeycomb Font
Sorry for bad quality of the images guys but atleast you can tell the difference between the two.
Sorry Guys but I removed v1.0, I wasn't really happy with it. But now im uploading v1.1 right now and maybe its just me but v1.1 feels much faster
Guess I'll wait for 1.1 before testing then
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yeah, sorry about that, the upload is almost complete, i'll have a link to it here as soon as its done.
I got a slow upload speed so its taking a while.

Great work! If I were you I would remove the Sim Tools, Phone, and Messaging APK's since our Tab is Wi-Fi only.
If it were my ROM I would also replace the stock Browser with Opera Mobile so we can have a real desktop experience, use ssLauncher instead ofGoLauncher, install Gesture Control to hide and show the Honeycomb Bar, install Loquendo TTS Susan instead of the stock robot voice, install the Toshiba Thrive Media Player and remove all others including Gallery, install Spare Parts and uncheck Compatibility Mode so any app can be fullscreen, install Supernote from Toshiba Thrive, install Swiftkey X for Tablets for the keyboard, Wi-Fi finder for wardriving, Zedge for notification tones, and TV.com, Play Movies, and Crackle for movies, and of course Tiny Flashlight and CameraZoom FX. Other than that it would be great if we could use Gary's kernel since it gives incredible battery life and NoLock so we don't have to deal with a lock screen, and GrooveIP so we can make calls via Google Voice on Wi-Fi.
Other than that it's rad.

Thanks for the feedback. The point of this rom is for it to be the lightest as possible so that means having the least apps as possible and letting the people install their own apps. Also I don't think I can put swiftkey x for tablets in because it would be illegal to put in a paid app in the rom. However I will ask for permission to put gesture control into this rom. I'll see if I can remove the simcard tools, phone and messaging apk and still make it boot.
Can you provide the file's md5sum? Rapidshare shows the file being 142.9mb and the actual downloaded file seems to be about 136mb :what:

I created this theme by hand and it works with lollipop theme chooser and wont be found on Samsungs theme store. Enjoy the free theme
Install Instructions
Step 1
Download http://d-h.st/2uh3
Step 2
Install
Step 3
If rooted
move Theme.DarkMatter.json from data/overlays/trialjson to data/overlays/usersjon
then reboot
If you don't do this step it will only show in Theme chooser as a trial theme
If not rooted you can use package disabler to freeze themes 1.0 so the trial doesn't run out.( untested)
then reboot

If you wish to uninstall you can switch to a different theme in theme chooser then run DarkMatter.v1.0.apk a second time it says it is installing but it really uninstalling. Then reboot to recovery clear cache/dalvek and it will be gone.
When I apply this theme after moving the file to the appropriate place. It does not apply correctly. I am rooted and I followed your directions but no luck. Any ideas?

Need more info... what do you mean by moving it to the appropriate place (needs to be installed). Also have you checked the md5 to make sure the apk is complete. MD5 Sum: 82c6d66213d44f913e3d04f388f80904
Also do you see a bunch of Theme.DarkMatter.* directories in data/app (if these directories don't exist then it isn't installed) see the example attached below.
Ok im rooted so after flashing the apk i transffer file from trial folder to user folder and reboot then it shows up in themes but when i install it it doesnt change the dialer icons or settings to the appropriate theme. Any ideas?

switch to the default theme then run the install again (it will uninstall the theme) reboot to recovery and clear cache and dalvek. Then make sure all directories for the theme Theme.DarkMatter.* in data/app are removed also Theme.DarkMatter.json from /data/overlays/jsonfiles/userjson. Then try the install again.

Just curious, has anyone found a dependable way to backup & restore the store themes?
I've tried Titanium but I'm either missing something (there are a lot of files to backup) or its just not doable from there because of the way the system locks inactive themes when applied via the theme engine.

there must be a copy of Theme.DarkMatter.json still in the trials folder. If you copied it instead of move it then go back to data/overlays/trialjson and delete and make sure Theme.DarkMatter.json exists in data/overlays/usersjon. be sure to reboot your phone after.
Your the man!

Need more info like what ROM are you using? Some ROM's break the theme engine. Also check the data/app folder and make sure there is a bunch of Theme,DarkMatter.* directories and try selecting the default theme before selecting DarkMatter.

Using MOAR v1.2. Samsung themes still work. I will check on the rest. Thank you. And yeah the directories are there. Tried selecting the default theme first but it didn't help.

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.
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) 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!
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, S Browser replaced with Orfox Tor Browser, Stock Text Messaging App Replaced With Signal Private Messenger App, Limited Stock File Browser Replaced With ES File Explorer

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:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note5/themes-apps/mod-tmon5surroud-sound-t3187359
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

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.

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

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!

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.
