I wanted to really start from scratch so I went through some of the Samsung open source code and found that there were some unnecessary modules being loaded. That could be what's causing some problems (although I haven't had much but think it's signal related or Sprint's towers being updated), but with no overclocking and the changes, it could solve everything? Dunno still.
So I tried my best to trip the bloat-code out and try to keep it as stock as possible (no overclock), perhaps some of you can test this out for me.
Changelog
v.1
- CWM 4.0.1.5
- Superuser 3.0 + fixed su, now installs in /system/bin, you can update the binaries with SuperUser app.
- init.d support (/system/etc/init.d)
- Bootanimation support
- fixed Airplane toggle
Things to test:
- LOS?
- Video out? - sorry my video out adapter is still being shipped, I think I enabled it but can't really check???
-Airplane toggle should be fixed
Things I am working on:
- Boot splash logo? Still working on that, if anyone knows how to change it, please let me know.
- Recompiling CWM from scratch, add external SD support, fix wipe issue
- Add infrastructure to wifi tether and USB tether?
Devs, u r free to steal my stuff, or stuff I stole I really don't remember from taking too much energy pills, taking a big white line from Stevie Jobs, "Good artists copy, great artists steal.".
If you have some knowledge to share, plz don't forget to email me at zedomax [at] gmail.com
If this works well, I will build off it or otherwise I will keep optimizing until its fully stable.
Thanks guys, you rock!

Odin'ed it over StarBurst 1.2, seems to work good but only been using it for 2min
Gonna test this out, thanks for all of your hard work, Zenomax!
Flashing now.
Boots up. Will be testing until I can get mine to work, but I think I had the same intent as yours does. Boots into CWM just fine too.
Cool! I'll be trying this when I get home. And I won't be bugging you anymore about the yellow triangle anymore... I have my usb jig coming in the mail.

Flashed fine over 4.1beta. Seems to be working well, airplane mode working. Under 4.1 I seem to suffer routine LOS when on the road but not when at home, so it may take a while to fully test but so far so good.
Thanks for all the hard work.

Root is still messed up for me with your kernel Zedomax, so please make one that doesn't have root or even busybox(unless it's needed for the recovery) as root & busybox can be added through CWM if the user wants
great work zedo! i'll test it out once i get back to work. somehow i left ALL my micro usb cables at work like an idiot.
I had the LOS today, had to restart my phone three times in the span of three hours. So, being frustrated, I booted in to CWM, wiped my davlik and flashed back to v1.1. Then I wiped davlik again, flashed back to v1.2 and rebooted. Haven't have a LOS issue since. So far so good...

I personally think CWM is causing some issues right now... no evidence behind it, just a suspicion.

CWM probably can't cause issues since it's in recovery, it doesn't fire up unless u r actually in recovery but CWM we all using right now have issues as they are based off SG2 CWM binaries. Someone has to compile a CWM for Epic4GT from scratch or at least hack it. I am gonna try that soon but compiling kernels is just taking too much time, I've been 24/7 compiling for like a whole week, get no other work done, i seriously need to go out to a rave and get f--ed up for couple days. Then my head will be clear, compiling will be fun.
MOD EDIT/NOTICE: You all accept the risks of flashing this - anyone caught complaining, flaming or idiot posting will receive a 24 hr ban. Off topic will also be subject to the same.
Here is the system dump & custom TAR of the ICS XXKP8 ROM that was leaked for the international version. This version will boot on our phones but without a CDMA kernel, there will no data, wifi, CWM, etc, so this is meant for DEVS\POWER USERS ONLY to play with.
DO NOT TRY FLASHING THESE FILES UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, DON'T COMPLAIN IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO REVERT TO A WORKING ROM AS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
GT-I9100XXKP8_4.0.3_IML74K.7z - System dump plus zImage
GT-I9100XXKP8_4.0.3_IML74K.tar - Flashable through ODIN
interesting, thanks for this. how far do you suppose we are from a somewhat functional ICS build?
ninja edit: first!
Oh man, thing's are getting hot in the kitchen.
So just a quick question: Why wont this won't brick our phones? Why have their been so many people with bricked phones for flashing international ROMs?
Other then that, awesome work. Just saw your Stock EL29 repack. Youre on fire !
Sweet, great job calkulin... you the man.
I'll do a quick review video of these for sure
This is a good starting point. We need to someone who can hack the 2.3 kernel to run Android 4.0

Because this is just the kernel & system files. If they flashed the complete tar(modem, bootloader, etc), then they definitely will cause a lot of issues
When you get that one bastardized kernel, it'll be good for all international ports to use for awhile til we get source
Has anyone been able to DL the .tar?

It has it's issues, front cam doesn't work(main cam works tho), rotation is inverted, no data, no wifi, etc but at least we get a feel for what the official ICS update will be like once it's released. If we get a working kernel, then fixing those issues wouldn't be that hard as I have fixed them before on the EVO ports but until we get a kernel, I'm not even going to start trying

Yep, although if you wait for it to unfreeze, you can then move around momentarily, before it freezes again...so far I can see that it DOES NOT have the face unlock, and other than settings, popup\menus and the Gmail app, which you can notice a difference right away, even without emails in it, it looks pretty much the same being that its TWIZ and not AOSP!

For many many reasons, not least of which was no significant progress towards ICS (which at that point needed CM7 as a prerequisite). Hopefully with the system files maybe someone can drag up that kernel and see if they can be made to work together but I think it is a CM kernel and I'm not sure that could be made to play with this...
Review of this port is up...

The kernel we compiled for that does not work with this. Were going to see if we can get it going though.
Hello folks, my name is CB and I am no developer.
I neither want nor deserve any recognition or status and I don't want
any donations for the work I've done. I can cut and paste and I got lucky
that the people who have gone before me made all this **** very compatible.
I have gotten permission to use this base and this kernel. I got tired of waiting
and asking for someone to release a rom like this so I took matters into my own hands.
This is an ATT base and it
DOES NOT SUPPORT WIFI CALLING
at this time.

The good:
This is the rom we have been waiting for fellas
very smooth
FAST gps
14 panel quick toggle
very light
highly dewizzed
zeam launcher
bravia
xloud
high res media fix
fast 3g/4g
The Bad:
No Wifi calling....yet
No CRT off
Money printing currently bugged
The Ugly:
Still twiz :'(
No Theme
TO INSTALL
- Make a Nand Backup
- Download rom.zip and place on sdcard
- Boot into clockwork recovery
- DO A FULL WIPE 3 DAMN TIMES!
- Install zip from sdcard
- Once zip has finished installing, reboot
- Now wait a minimum of 10 minutes, seriously...
- Reboot
ALSO I SUGGEST
After waiting 10 mins from first boot, batch restore all apps with data
THEN REBOOT
Then go and restore the user data like mms, contacts, wifi etc.
THEN REBOOT INTO RECOVERY and wipe cache, dalvik and fix permissions
Let the Rom settle for 5 mins after home screen boots.
This sequence will ensure a more stable system.
And also, Freeze wifi sharing and wifi sharing manager
and try it WITHOUT any OC apps first, if you followed all the above instructions it
should sleep very efficiently and be very responsive.
If your device is bricked at any time during the use of this rom I cannot be held responsible.

Good to see you back I ran your rom since you posted it and it worked great had a couple little issues but really smooth and had great battery life for me.

Not a big deal at all, but when the phone is in vibrate it seems to show the silent icon on the status bar. Still vibrates, but the icon is wrong. Is this just me?

Not sure how your observation is at all helpful or needed. I am sure he is aware of why it was taken down and I was not asking him that. I was asking if the reason it was taken down was addressed. Otherwise, it may be taken down again. I think it is a fair question and deserves an answer.

Well i believe it was only root explorer... You can always download the rom and see if it's in there. And if you fear the piracy police, just remove it. You shouldn't really be pressing for a question to be answered when it was just recently asked. Such demands makes you look arrogant.

This is my version of the latest At&T* I317UCALK7 . The ROM was posted in its stock form with no modem and no kernel by SCROSLER AKA SCOTT. I have stripped it down very hard. I have added some of my favorite scripts listed below.This is my first time to ever release anything before . I have modded Roms of others for a couple years but never released one. This ROM is very simple its close to stock but the battery life is amazing and so is the speed. This is due to the hard "stripping "of what I consider bloat! This ROM is very stable on my phone* We have not seen any f/c of any type . There is a lot of apks,zips etc. you can find in XDA and add back if you want it added back .I have used kernals on here and didn't really see the difference in speed . I decided to use the stock kernel but a kernel will work nice if you want one..The ROM has apps that to some might be malicious. If you choose to be that way with them do it at your own risk. I don't advise it.I don't know if this ROM is flashable with twrp. I use cwm. NOTE::::IM NOT A DEVELOPER . IM JUST AN AVERAGE GUY THAT LOVES ANDROID.ILL BE POSTING LINKS TO STUFF THAT WORKS NICE WITH THIS ROM AND YOU CAN MAKE IT YOUR OWN CUSTOM ROM.

Hi Guys,
Been an HTC guy, all my Android life. Thinking of picking up my first Sammy with the Sprint's version of Note 2. Just had a couple of questions about software and ROMs:
1. Are you guys expecting a Port or Updates from the new S4, coming to the Note 2? If so, when? Or if they've been ported already, can someone point me to the ROM or mods for those?
2. Been familiar with Sense and AOKP/CM10.1 for some time now. Never used TouchWiz. What are most of you driving with here? TouchWiz light and snappy enough with balance of pretty to be used as your Daily Driver, or are you guys AOKP kinda guys here as well? Either way, can you make some ROM recommendations for a new guy? I'd like to experience the Sammy experience, before moving on to AOKP, if possible?
Any other tips you can give me before I switch? I will be switching from an EVO LTE with CarbonROM running on it. Thank you for your time.
It's pretty much a 50/50 when it comes between TouchWiz or AOSP. There is already an s4 system dump.
For Rom recommendations I would suggest if you want TouchWiz stay on stock that's my opinion. And if you want AOSP is suggest CyanogenMod.
PAC rom is good too but for me I love simplicity. So that's why I'm currently on stock right now or CyanogenMod

I was an HTC guy before coming to Sammy. I can say I wasn't all that thrilled with Touchwiz, compared to Sense.
I ended up ditching Touchwiz for Nova Launcher and a couple extra widget paks (HD widgets for clock and Android Pro Widgets for Timeline aka Friendstream and Contact favorites).
I am very happy with this combination.

I was the same at first, but in the long run, I actually Prefer TW to Sense. By miles. Stock TW is (usually, with perhaps a small bit of configuring) faster, and makes more intuitive sense (haha).
AOSP is of course loverly, but TW has a few features w/o totally obscuring Android that I think are ok, even worth it.
Thank you everyone for the response guys!
Just was wondering that I should try out TW for a bit, since I have never used it daily before. The gimmicky features from Sammy on the S4 though... like the Camera app and gestures and eyes thing for scrolling... do you guys think those will be/can be ported to the N2?
Thanks again for everyone's input... getting excited! Just not sure if the N2 will be too much of a phone for me to hold LOL!

Those are coming to our device either this month or next month. And before this device, I as a big time rooter, but I say stay stock, it has everything you could ever need.

I too switched from HTC for 3 years.. And I can say I haven't been happier!!! Tw does take some getting used to after sense, but none the less its every bit as good as sense IMO... If I want a tweaked stock tw ROM, I suggest checking out the lab rats ROM.. Its pretty cartoonish stock, but the updater is chocked full of themes and different apps. Its been an amazing ROM. I used to be a flashaholic til the rats came my way. Not to mention they gotta be the friendliest, goofiest, most entertaining group of devs I've seen yet and as for requests, if its possible its usually pretty quick turnaround and they enjoy all they do probably even more than we do!!! Give it a shot and I can almost bet you will keep coming back to the lab!! Of course this is just my opinion, but there are many more who share it!! As well as, of course, some that don't..

Everyone,
Thank you for your wonderful responses. I just brought home the N2 and it's a MONSTER !!! LOL!
I do want to stay TW for a bit though... so can you guys recommend the most UP TO DATE, and MOST CUSTOMIZEABLE TW ROM with hopefully the LEAST about of bugs and MOST amount of speed? (LOL! I know, talk about Eutopian demands, right !?)
An example of that ^ from the EVO LTE world is Team Venom's ROM...
I will Root though,because I need apps like Titanium Backup to fully set me up on the new device...
Thank you again for all your help! Looking forward to loving the Sammy world !
And oh, for the folks saying that GS4 camera and other features are coming to N2... do you think there will be some features that will NOT work on the N2 for Hardware or Kernel (firmware) issues? Thanks again!

There will be some things that won't work properly due to hardware restrictions, but most everything that doesn't rely on hardware, we should be getting at some point..

Thanks again for the responses guys. Tried my first few ROMs last night... JellyBomb... LabRats... Nice ROMs, but they are too "modded" and touched for my taste...
What ROM can you recommend that's kinda Stock, debloated, keeps the original spirit of Stock at it's heart, with performance enhancements?
Is Synergy a good one?
Also... what's the later build? M7 or something after that? I am forgetting the name right now ...

Hey sparytrainor,
Thank you for your response. Per your recommendation, I tried the Lab Rats ROM, but found a NUMBER of issues with them:
1. I didn't like the annoying PnB Bootanimation, and tried changing it via their built Customization app, but it just booted into Recovery and did nothing ...
2. The kept prompting an update, annoying
3. Flashlight toggle didn't work
Just seemed way too customized to me, without a whole lot of value for those changes.
I am now trying Stock MC2, Rooted and DeOdexed, but I can't seem to boot in. TWRP says, it needs to fix Root permissions at the end of the flash and in both cases (Fix or Not), the phone reboots and sits at the Samsung GN II screen...? Am I missing some firmware requirements here?
When I get that ROM going, I hope to debloat it with TB, and find ways to tweak it a bit, like find a Battery mod or something maybe...?
Thanks again for everyone reading my thread!

OK, in the updater, go into settings and select reboot type and select the recovery u use. This will fix the reboot and install not working.
Also there are fixes in the updater for all the other issue u mentioned with the ROM other than the flashligt , which I use one from the play store anyway..
Check out the updater website for previews of the mods and themes.
http://updater.team-nocturnal.com/labrats/
And as for the other issue, mine says it needs to fix root sometimes as well, but I swipe to fix and everything goes fine. If you didn't update to mc2, u may need to. Here's a link for that as well..

Good luck to u.. Happy flashing and enjoy your new favorite phone!!!

Thank you again, friend, that seems to have worked !
Couple of follow up questions:
1. In the LabRats ROM, if your Swipe to Capture function working?
2. Is there a "safe list" available for the apps I can uninstall to de-bloat?
3. If you run into a faster, less bulky ROM, please share with me , thanks!
Actually that goes for everyone else, as well. Please share your thoughts and inputs if you happen to have some cool ROM recommendations for TW ROMs that are the lightest and the fastest an least buggy !
Thanks guys!
You'd have to search around for a list of what can and can't be removed.. Or u can do like I did and make a backup so if u remove something that breaks the ROM, u can restore ur backup in twrp and be right back where u started..
Swipe to capture has to be turned on in settings. By default it is off.. I used it to take this screenshot for u..
As for a debloated ROM, you might do well with nowiz aosp in development section..can't get much more debloated than that..

Couple of questions bro:
1. What's the eye icon in your screen shot in the notification bar? I never get that...
2. What theme are you using? Link to that theme and other cool ones like it? (I love Red themes )
3. As for the swipe to screen, I've had the right settings enabled, but for the life of me, I cannot get that feature to work ... Even tried it on a friend's stock GS3, nothing. Saw videos on YouTube as well, mimicking the same thing, still no go ... wonder what's up?
As always, much appreciate your kindness and help !
We can help a lot more if you post in our lab rats thread.
I removed about as much as I could without complaints. I personally would remove more, but I wanted to keep the users happy. I would remove s voice, email, calender, Google search, Google now, voice recorder, and voice search. Themes are in the updater and screen shots are on our Web site. All PATB can be removed via the updater.
The eye is smart stay that you must turn on. Flashlight works perfectly fine for everyone else as well as swipe to capture.
Thank you sparytrainor!
