Hello I just received a Galaxy S6 from O2 and this is the first time I've decided to keep my smart phone. I would like to install a custom ROM with less bloatware and snappy performance. The one that came highly recommended and I constantly see being mentioned on here is XtreStoLite.
My phone is SM-920F running 5.0.2 Somehow this is suppose to be the better firmware in order to go to custom ROM? In that case I'm glad mine didn't get shipped with 5.1.1.
Can you please suggest to me the best method to use to install a new ROM? Also I heard about KNOX, I don't mind removing it if possible or not tripping it at least. Another question I have is about Kernel. I'm not sure I understand this very much but do I just need XtreStoLite and that's it, or would I have to also get a new Kernel?
Why is there 2 different topics about XtreStoLite? One being called Deodexed?
If I dislike the ROM after few months and find something better, is it again as easy to switch to another custom ROM?
Thank you to all who are feeding me with info on this matter, I don't want to sound like I want stuff handed to me instead of doing my research, but I was hoping to gain some experience and tips while following your guides as this is my first time messing with Android and smart phones in general.
Welcome to the world of custom Android
I'm running that ROM in my phone and its great! You don't need to worry about a custom kernel, that ROM includes unikernel when you flash it.
If you root using CF Auto root or install a custom recovery then yes, you trip Knox. Its not a big deal and to get full customisation you pretty much have to.
Tripping Knox does mean when Samsung Pay is released you WILL NOT be able to use it, so think hard.
Odex means there is an odex file along side the apk for system files, an odex ROM is quicker to boot up and apps load faster.
De Odex means the idea file is part of the apk file so systems like this are much easier to theme (as you only edit the apk).
Basically if you're not too worried about theming then stick with odex ROM.
ROMs are very easy to swap and change yes.
Install a custom recovery (will trip Knox but it is mandatory if you're wanting to flash different ROMs) TWRP is good.
A kernel basically put it the bridge between your software and your hardware, it is the brains if you like.
Custom kernels allow things CPU over clocking and under volting. And lots of tweaks to boost performance or go the other way and help battery life.
A tip for a beginner: ALWAYS MAKE A BACK UP IN RECIVERY IF YOUR CURRENT PHONE STATE.
This will get you out of trouble a lot. So many times you'll flash something or twaek something that will cause your phone to not function correctly or boot loop. If you have a back up of your last stable state you simply restore it in recovery. Simple
Good luck and have fun!

Thanks I don't really care about Samsung Pay that's for sure. I've been reading more about the Odex and Deodexed Mod and you have it covered pretty well but I also noticed XtreStoLite Deodexed Mod has some extra features such as:
★ 5-Way Reboot Menu
★ Removed High volume warning message
★ Removed Increasing Ringtone
★ All 3 animation speeds at 0.5 at default
★ Disabled Mobile Data toggle warning at default
★ No auto SMS -> MMS conversion with the Samsung messaging app
★ Optional: Alliance Framework v.3.1 (by @Goldie)
★ Optional: Remove ongoing keyboard switcher notification
★ Optional: 3Minit battery MOD
★ Optional: Center Clock
★ Optional: Modded Samsung Camera app to run even on low battery
★ Optional: Modded Samsung Messages app (to disable screen on when receiving message)
★ Optional: Disable Scrolling cache (smoother scrolling when content is for the 1st time on your screen, but a bit less smoother after the first time)
Am I correct to assume these are not on the Odex version? To be honest I think they are worth it even if I have to deal with a bit of slowness no? Which version did you install?
One more important thing, you said you tripped your KNOX which I don't mind but in the guide it says KNOX fully removed! So which one is true? Do you even still have it?
Oh yeah and final question, I didn't notice a guide for me 5.0.2. Is there one or do I need to force myself to update to 5.1.1. I hear 5.0.2 is easier and less hassle to do this job.
Thanks again
p.s I'm planning on doing my custom ROM over the weekend so I better make my choice and right decision fast

Hi community. I bought my Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 some weeks ago, and (being a flash-o-holic, as many of you) have been eager to flash some new ROMS for stretching the capabilities of my new beloved device. Since of course it takes time for developers to create a ROM, I started testing some customizations and found them to work successfully, so I wanted to share in case you are in a similar situation.
First of all, none of the software in this thread has been developed by me, so credit goes to their legitimate authors
Also very important, this is all result of testing on my own device. i cannot guarantee this will work on your device, and I take NO responsibility on the results of replicating this procedures nor installing these applications on your devices. Since it's mostly about apks, it pretty safe anyway.
In order to be able to execute any of the instructions in this thread, your device must be rooted. Instructions to root your device can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386098
I have tested this on my SM-T310, but I see no reason why it should not work on the T311 or T315
Please, make sure to perform a nandroid backup before you perform any of these actions. I found I applied some modifications I wanted to rollback, and it was not possible,. That led me to the need to flash stock firmware and start over from scratch (for not following my own advice) :silly: In case this happens to you, you can always find the stock firmware at http://samsung-updates.com/
Great news is that Xposed Framework can be installed and works perfectly on the Galaxy Tab 3 8. And also, since the newest version includes the ability to download modules directly from the Xposed APK, you'll have the possibility to experiment a lot. Please be careful, always perform a Nandroid backup before intensive testing. The latest version of the Xposed Framework APK can be found at it's authors site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 (Thanks to Rovo89)
Once installed, follow the authors instructions. You will be able to find and install new modules in the DOWNLOAD section of the application. Please remember that once you install a new module, you will need to go to the MODULES section of the application in order to enable it, and then reboot your device.
So far I have tried the following modules:
- App settings v1.5 (it will allow you to modify DPI for each application independently). It's very safe to use. Works great
- Boot Manager V1.1.3 (it will allow you to select apks you don't want your tablet to load during boot). Mostly safe, if any apks related stops working you need to just remove it from the Boot Manager list, and it should go back to normal.
- Wanam Xposed v2.0.5 (It includes many of the customizations from the Wanam ROMs for other devices such as the S4). In this case, you should be slightly careful. This APK was designed for a different device, and includes options that are not valid (such as disabling increasing ringtone), others that might generate issues (such as Enable Keyboard symbols, which is anyway useless, but can conflict with TAB 8 Samsung Keyboard APK), but mostly, it works great, and adds functions such as 4 way reboot, select multi windows applications, modify the number of tiles in quick settings, battery icon, and other very useful ones
- Nottach Xposed: which has many options in common with Wanam Xposed. This one did not show on the download section of the xposed framework apk, but you can find and download it from its author's thread. Same considerations applies as with Wanam Xposed. I am not sure if they can conflict with each other, so be careful.
As you can see there are many improvements we can already use in our dear Tab 8, you just need to try and verify (After performing a nandroid backup).
I also found a ZIP including the Sony Xperia Launcher and Walkman APK, created by Team Nocturnal for the Galaxy S3, that so far seems to work properly.
http://pc.cd/5z
I hope you will find this thread useful, and I encourage you to test different modules and alternatives and include your own experiences in this thread, so that we can all improve our Tab 3 8 experience.
Happy Testing!!!
thx ..the App Settings is just what i needed ....i am a fan of PAC rom .....and i just love to change the DPI of apps..... some apps are just to big :laugh: thx again
I've been learning how to build a custom rom for the S5...
Finally got my first stable version that I'd love to share!
Special Features:
Stock Base
Rooted - SuperSU
BusyBox integrated.
zip-aligned
Build.prop tweaks for speed, battery, usb debug
Removed all Verizon/Samsung apps that I could possibly strip out - without having any problems in settings, etc.
(Except S Voice - I just skipped including that because it's useless to me.)
WiFi Hotspot - WITH NOTIFICATION TOGGLE
**** Almost all apps have been moved to /data/app - which means you can uninstall them, not just turn them off.
Replacements:
Replaced stock launcher with Holo Launcher HD
Chrome replaced with Firefox
Messages replaced with Handcent
Includes:
AdFree (Root)
Titanium Backup
I DO NOT WARRANTY THIS ROM IN ANY WAY.
INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK. DONT HATE ME IF IT DESTROYS YOUR DEVICE.
I've been running it on my device for the day and it's doing great!
Install instructions:
Use safestrap
Any ROM slot should be fine. I know it's not possible currently in safestrap to make a smaller system partition, but really only 2GB is needed for system.
I'd highly recommend a clean slot -- for some reason while testing safestrap wouldn't fully wipe the data partition.
PLEASE NOTE:
After initial boot, you will be sent through the Setup Wizard, as usual.
Immediately following completion of first boot, your phone will "go crazy" for a few seconds. The select wallpaper window will open (dont do anything), then the screen will go blank for a second.
* Setup Wizard may force close. DONT PANIC!! Everything i still working right. Just click OK.
I have set up a One-Time Init script to install the WiFi Hotspot toggle into notification panel, change the default lockscreen/homescreen backgrounds, enable USB Debugging, and to set up the initial Holo Launcher icon layout.
DOWNLOAD LINK:
MediaFire Old Version
Still being uploaded:
Odex Version Does not include Setup Wizard. If you can't live without it, get the old version.

Sorry, maybe I didn't make it clear. what I was doing is fully wipe and flash CM11 ROM for HTC one X from scratch, and afte rall my google apps abd data is download back to normal from server, and then I flash your mod WITHOUT WIPE. But I don't see any app or other mod inside the system after reboot. I check it with root explorer. So I think I do follow your step, right ? Do you ever try to clean-wipe flash from scratch and then flash your mod ?
i checked it again and it works without aby problems on a clean install

Check if you had system partition mounted when you were installing the package, if there weren't any files installed thetn this might be the problem.
@shiftyHungary did it work for you
Good Luck !!
can any one confirm that it works
Wowza...just beathed alot of extra life into my ZTE Awe. Lolipop launcher and quickboot dont work on my device, but i can live without them. Well done
Quick boot mod only works on official cm11 builds and some other builds like armv6 build but the quick but apk works on any android device
The app just force closes whenever I try to open it. We at the Awe forums on androidforums are running an unofficial build, so it makes sense to me the mod wouldnt work but the app is not as well. Again, I can do without. Everything else, minus the launcher, appears to be working.
Though I can't find any difference when running the "boost" command. What is it supposed to do exactly?
its apically for games
Well again I didn't notice much of a difference with or without running it. Real Racing 3, GTA San Andreas and Modern Combat 4/5 run significantly better than before the mod. I was able to even record some decent game plays on each with Rec Screen Recorder with only about a 10fps drop and minor lag, something I struggled to do initially. All in all, I'll confirm this works and have already spread the word to my fellow Awe users.
Many thanks for your hard work
Hello Friends.
I know what could be done on iphone after jailbreaking using cydia. But from past few days I have been using Nexus 5 and decided to root it.
But I'm bit confused, what is next to customize my phone as everyone on internet claims that it gives us full access. Please share some of your knowledge.
You don't have to root to customise .... There are many apps you can install for custom experience eg. Nova launcher that I use is amazing for customising your experience and its a great starting point (but does not need root) but rooting itselfbdoes open the door to deeper more functional features using apps like titanium backup to backup literally every bit of info, app and all associated data ....and other apps like tasker that can enable full automation which allows you to do things like set your phone to unlock automatically when connected to your home wifi ...or silence your phone automatically during work hours etc...
Can install costum ROM .. can install multiple ROM's using multi ROM.
Try closed.. Google it
... Mentioning just a few

After rooting, I like to change the DPI (by making a simple change to the build.prop file). The stock value is 480. I like 422. It fits more on the screen.

technically, you don't need to be rooted to run a custom ROM (or a custom recovery). You just need an unlocked bootloader for that.
There are a lot of things you can do after rooting. I have the following installed: AdAway to block advertisements, xposed to customize my rom and apps, IOS Emoji here is a flashable zip I made: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9UOVv2yynmYeUVWY0tJNGtBanM/edit?usp=docslist_api, install MultiRom to try out different custom ROMs.

Verizon Build There is 2 versions your Standard build and battery save. Battery save only for Verizon users this helps with battery drain you get with Verizon network over LTE.
Performance tuning is turned on on the battery save mode. So the phone needs time to settle in a bit before it feels 100% in my testing it looks to save around 5% or more over standard build " I am loving the battery save build myself. remember this is based on what I have running results will vary per user"
Fixed battery faster battery drain from 1.29 in standard build and batter save.
Removed .mp4 demo video to save space.
Removed and updated moto camera to the last build. This gives users an option to uninstall update if they like same with my Verizon and some other apps.
Fixed emoji's and updated to newest android from MM.
Non-Verizon fixed APN settings so it will pick up your APN from your sim / network.
Non-Verizon build Faster 3g 2x data. " Remember it can only go as fast as your network gives you" But I did tweak it a bit.
Non-Verizon Build Removed My Verizon and other Verizon apps that got in from 1.2.9.
Non-Verizon users You will not be getting an battery save build. This is due to GSM networks. Plus way to hard for me to test if it will save battery. I do believe the non-Verizon build is already much better on battery on Verizon build. This is due to that you have non of the Verizon apps running.
This change log maybe missing a few things I have done a lot and tested a lot over the past few weeks to get this ver just right.

How to install
Backup Your Stuff!!! Photos and more !!! Use Twrp to do a full system backup!!! And then Copy it to your PC save it forever!
If you already have done step 1 and 2 go to step 3.
Step 1 Phone bootloader must be unlocked via sunshine root. I will no longer help users unlock please see sunshine If you need an none xposed ver use @firstEncounter v3 listed here. I blocked my no xposed img from downloads. I know it worked for most users but there was a few it did not and hung up on sunshine server blocking there IP. @jcase recommend you use @firstEncounter v3 or update to stock .44 then unlock with sunshine.
Step 2 Install Twrp Recovery Get it here.
Step 3 Enter recovery Copy my rom/zip to your phones storage device.
And any other options your download from here xposed and PON-3 put all zip's on phone storage. And flash/install in recovery computerfreek_Unlocked_1.X 1st then install/flash xposed,Pon-3 zip's

Step 5 Hit home and go to wipe for best results slide bar to do factory reset.
Step 6 Reboot system
Step 7 Your done setup your phone xposed and pon-3 audio if you install it.
Step 8 If you flashed xposed you need to install the APK now.

@cbalt Has made this very global friendly flashable zip for my ROMS This will give you better support for GSM in the USA and overseas. It will also remove all the Verizon junk for you as you do not need it if your not on Verizon. . @computerfreek274 and @cbalt will offer support for this the best we can. It is hard to give full support if we have no way to test the service provider you have. For best support have your APN's for your service and check that they are in your phone already. Please read below for more info and setup. As always backup your data. And remember we are not responsible for any data loss or if this software somehow kills your phone.
THIS IS NOT FOR VERIZON USERS. This has been tested on 1.2.3a
This is an update to my Removal Script. A few things have changed. First off since this is only for Global users to begin with, I have updated it to also update your Build.Prop, gps.conf, and apns-conf.xml. There are also 4 Different Versions now.
REBOOT AND FLASH AFTER GOING THROUGH THE SETUP WIZARD.
The files without Verizon in their name remove, Notice TTS aka Text To Speech and Velvet in there which is the Google APP aka Google Now. It removes everything I personally do not use. The files with Verizon in their name will be better suited for you if you don't want it slimmed down. In the next day or three I will create the .zips required to reinstall all the stuff removed in both along with a file to only update Build.Prop, gps.conf, and apns-conf.xml.

Full root! Full read write, access to kernel, android pay may work. As an user you will have full root so you can change your own fonts, host, emojis and so much more. Plus this is going to also let users that where stuck on stock 5.1 high and dry unlock and have root also. Think about this if you need to replace your phone it is shipped with 5.1 now this will allow you to unlock it and get back to root.

I was getting my phone ready for the Sunshine release and downloaded it onto my phone. I'm currently running 1.6b pon with xposed baked into the system. When I tried Sunshine it said I must uninstall xposed. Is there a way to do that without wiping data and flashing an older system?

Yes go to my site computerfreek.com and download the none xposed img I made for this.
Or direct link here to download
@djbling I updated OP and my website for more info. When sunshine is released for are phones we will have more info. We may have to flash are bootloader via flashboot when the time comes I will update the OP.
Thanks! Computerfreak. Glad to see your on top of it! That was a real fast reply!

Yeah and the good news is most users are on the .44 kernel so all you have to do is flash the no xposed ver of my img via mofo. Then unlocked via sunshine. Reboot and now you will have full rw root and still be on my img. Re-install xposed framework and your done.
You can then install twrp and do a full system backup via twrp recovery and save a copy of it on your PC too. Then sometime after that I will have all kinds of flashable roms from stock to cm and aosp.
Cm and aosp and nexus will need testing so I can get voice mail working and advanced calling on nexus and aosp roms. As for cm it may need a bit more time and testing.
Sunshine 3.2 beta for droid turbo is out!

Now that those of us that were stuck on locked 5.1 have unlocked bootloaders, how do we acquire permanent root? I'm new to the while unlocked bootloader thing.

Once your bootloader is unlocked, flash the twrp recovery and a rooted image. See the OP
This is exciting stuff! Thanks so much to CF for this thread. I was scrolling through 44 pages of the bootloader unlock thread looking for specifics, but as per usual CF has laid it all out for us here in an efficient and easy to understand post. We are lucky to have him in this community.
