Simple Theme (for TW Launcher 4.5) consists of SGS II icons by bassie1995 and dock icons from launcherpro.droidicon.com, nothing else.

Looks great, the name fits the ROM, I'll flash it after the weekend.
Q: Which kernel? If I want to use Galaxian with your ROM, is it best to delete the init.d scripts you added? (by this I mean the tweaks)

Sorry, forgot to mention. It uses TalonDEV 0.4.3. The tweaks shouldn't be a problem, I didn't test Galaxian though.

Looks like an awesome and simple ROM.

I really like the looks of this ROM. Trying this instantly.

Very promising!
Could we have battery % ?
Thanks!

Is this the first themed odexed ROM for SGS i9000?
Is the 3D fix added to the rom? (Attached) credits to currydude and the person before that who uploaded it.

So its not a problem zipaligning system odexed apks?
Thx in andvace.

Notes:
(1) Deodexing has the advantage of easy customization, but it breaks some apps like the browser. Since Simplicity needs few customization, it isn't required to do so. And since it's odexed, it will boot faster.

Click to collapse
Not entirely true... sure, the first boot will be faster than the deodexed equivalent, but all subsequent boots will be the same. Please don't falsely advertise.

Sorry, didn't know that, I thought I had read that somewhere. Fixed. I thought odex files were optimized files to reduce disk space? So it still has an advantage .
Edit:
I just saw I forgot to add the kernel and modem in the installation zip. So please wait with installing till 0.2 is ready. If you already did install, you can install 0.1 to 0.2 update zip which will install the modem and kernel included.

i was just going to cook... the very same rom, as you just made.... LOL
i just couldn't find all those 3dfixes, and other minor changes to include.

I used APK Manager. I copied the system apk's and odex files to the place-apk-here-to-batch-optimize and then used option 15.
I don't know if it's needed to also copy the odex files.
No problem

Welcome to SentinelROM for Nexus 10.
NOTE: Pictured with 'Zooper Widget' (included) and 'Eye In Sky' (not included but free download) homescreen widgets.
This is my first custom ROM build and has been a long time in the making, but it's finally ready for release.
This ROM is based on the Stock JOP40D 4.2.1 ROM with the following features.
Stock Kernel
Rooted with Busybox and SuperUser installed
De-Odexed
Zip Aligned
ADB root access with Remount
init.d support
'Seeder' mod for improved 3D gaming performance
'Enhanced Quick Settings Menu (See below for details)
Advanced Power Menu with Hot Boot, Bootloader and Recovery options
Long press Vol+ / Vol- to skip tracks forward and back
CyanogenMod File Manager pre-installed
Stock Gapps included
Zooper Widget Free pre-installed (awesome widgets!)
Your own free copy of my latest Music Player app (Sentinel Music Player) pre-installed
________________________
This ROM has been built to enhance the stock experience, with faster gaming and web browsing performance (no choppyness in Chrome too!), as well as the added benefits of Root access, and an Advanced Power Menu you let you quickly hot-restart, or reboot into Recovery or Bootloader. You cna even skip tracks forward and back while your tablet is asleep by long pressing the Vol+ or Vol- button.
As of version 2.10, enhanced Quick Settings are available (ported from kevdliu's AOSP quick settings for Galaxy Nexus).
Features:
- Press to directly toggle Wifi and long press to access Wifi settings menu
- Press to directly toggle Mobile Data and long press to access Mobile Data settings menu
- Press to directly toggle BT and long press to access BT settings menu
- Persistent GPS Tile: Press to toggle GPS and long press to access Location settings menu
- Add Auto Rotation Tile
- Add Volume Tile (Press to display media volume slider and long press to access Volume settings menu)
- Add Screen Off Tile
- Add Ringer Modes Tile
- Add Torch Tile
- Reorder the tiles by enabling them in the order you want them to be placed (first enabled toggle will be placed first etc.)
- New softkeys
I've also included a free copy of Sentinel Music Player, which I am about to launch on the Android Market. This app lets you quickly browse for music on your device by Artist, Album, Genre, or even use it's inbuilt file manager to browse all the files and on your device. Included is the ability to control your music from the lock-screen and toolbar, as well as enable/disable features such as pause/play when headphones are unplugged or plugged in, or only play music via external speakers. this works wonders when using Bluetooth speakers or headphones.
________________________
________________________
There seems to be an issue with systemUI crashing in v2.10 from a fresh install. Please install v2.00 first if you are coming from a different ROM, then flash subsequent versions.
________________________
To install this ROM you will need to have an unlocked bootloader and a custom Recovery such as TWRP or ClockWorkMod installed (personally I recommend TWRP, I have had issues with restoring backups using CWM). If you haven't yet unlocked your bootloader and installed a custom recovery, I recommend downloading and installing the Nexus 10 Toolkit.
Copy the downloaded SentinelROM zip to your Internal Storage.
Boot into your custom recovery
Back up your stock ROM
Factory Reset and wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
Install the ROM and reboot. First boot can take up to 5 minutes.
Note, if you are coming from a stock ROM and have root access, you can back up your user apps and data using Titanium and restore them once you have flashed my ROM. Just be sure to only restore user apps and data, and no system ones as you may break things.
As this ROM uses the stock kernel, there should be no issues with overheating or anything nasty like that, however I am not responsible for any damage/data loss or anything else as a result of flashing, or attempting to flash this ROM.
________________________
Thanks very much to all those who have answered my questions through the process of creating my own ROM, you know who you are.
A big shout out to the Zooper Widget team for allowing me to cook in the free version. I strongly recommend you check out the Pro version as it really is the best custom widget application I have come across.
CyanogenMod for their excellent File Manager.
kevdliu for his enhanced Quick Settings menu (which I ported for this ROM)
scrosler for the AOSP source.
________________________
21/1/13:
SentinelROM v2.10
To update from SentinelROM v2.00, simply flash via custom recovery and erase cache/dalvik cache.
If coming from a different ROM, v2.00 must be flashed and fully booted first.

Yea takes time but its growing THX Sir for your work
Y tested NFS is it laagfree with seeder mod
Is there a way to keep The navbar on The left side

I haven't looked at re-orienting the nav-bar, but that's a good idea. I might look at it for the next release.

Re: [ROM] [20/1/13] - SentinelROM v2.00 - 4.2.1 - Root - De-Odex - Tweaks - APM - Th
I can finally play NFS with no lag OMG THANK YOU1!!
I was getting sick of playing it because as it got harder the lag mattered more and more. Now I can finally finish the game, I cannot thank you enough for having the seeder mod that I only wish I knew about sooner.
The only suggestion I have is to have a website (if you don't already) and to maybe add some options like the ability to mess with the DPI and whatnot like Paranoid does. Aside from that I cannot think of anything else that this baby needs except for maybe it's own Kernel later on to further improve it's godlyness. Although I doubt you can do too much better since this runs so darn well already.
P.S. Very nice job on the Music Player, I would love to see a Video Player from you that would play many different formats
Regards,
Aaron

... You do know that Android 4.2 doesnt even use the /dev/random space that this "seeder mod" force feeds with mirrored data every second, right?

I had read that, but the performance did seem to be consistantly improved with it installed when I tested the ROM. Next time I do a new build, I'll do some more testing.

It's most likely because your CPU is being ramped up constantly. This is the same thing as putting your CPU minimum at a higher frequency (700 or so).

I tried this out. It's quite nice and smooth - definitely an experience that I wished the nexus 10 could have provided out of the box to say the least.

I so agree with you, I cannot believe that they did not release their product to being even 1/2 as stable and smooth as this one is.
I think that all other ROMs should look up to this one and take ideas from it because it is flawless!

That certainly makes sense. I'll log CPU stats and run the ROM with and without the mod to see what it reveals.

I've just uploaded a banner image for you guys to use if you feel like sharing the love.

Thanks again for the support so far

I noticed that I have very limited amount of settings if not no real settings at all especially for the quick settings on the right which I would love to be able to control what it has on it that way I can easily turn on my torch and adjust other settings that I like to be able to adjust from time to time just by sliding down the right hand side of my notification bar a KA the quick settings I would really appreciate it if the next version would have options to the Quick Settings panel

Whoa. Punctuation is your friend!
Agreed. I'm looking at additional quick settings for future builds

SentinelROM v2.10 is uploading now.
I've added an enhanced Quick Settings menu as requested.
It should be available within an hour. I'll update the OP with the download link as soon as the upload is finished, and post back here.
Remember to follow us on Facebook for the latest news on updates before it hits here

SentinelROM v2.10 is now live. See the OP for details.
To install, simply flash the zip from your custom recovery and wipe your cache/dalvik cache.
If you're coming from a different ROM. SentinelROM v2.00 must be installed first.
After installing, you will see a new app available in your app drawer called "Quick Setting Control Panel", launch it to configure your quick settings menu however you like.
Enjoy!

Downloading now. Can't wait to give it a try!

I'm sorry I didn't use punctuation like I usually do. I was using my tablet to type for me and I kept forgetting to use. And I was too lazy to go back incorrect it all. Believe me when I say I'm usually the only one to be using all of the punctuation and grammar well no one else is. I cannot believe you already released the update with the requested settings. I really should have thought about more things to suggest for you like OTA updates via clockwork mod or goo manager. . At any case I'm extremely appreciated for this update and I cannot wait to see more as well as if you would like I would be more than glad to come up with plenty more suggestions for you and of course I'm always extremely patient to wait for them as is this is already an amazing ROM and there's really isn't a lot more to be done.

[ROM]ECHOE V12 S.E.P-TW-4.3-MK2/AnyCarrier-SS-KNOXfree-CLEAN-FAST-THEMED-gogoliePORT

After receiving the go ahead from friedrich420 to go ahead with this port I decided to get it out quick. I'm not sure if that'd make it official or not I'll have to see.
Gogolie'sROM Port:ECHOE V12 See.Emily.Play.-TW-4.3-MK2/AnyCarrier-SS-KNOXfree-CLEAN-FAST-THEMED-OFFICIALPORTROM - SAFESTRAP (Install to any slot and restore to Stock slot too! Compatible with VZW - AT&T - TMO and can be installed on MDK/MDL and should be any phone with TWRP recovery.
original vzw port thread (post questions there or search actual rom's thread for more info)
If you dont know ECHOE get familiar (read the 1400 page thread.). This version features a cool Floyd theme. Restore it to your stock slot in Safestrap or to any slot you like or restore it with TWRP/Philz any recovery that is TWRP compatible should work. AT&T and other carriers may need to flash your MK2 modules or add in TMO APN / AT&T APN settings to get this beast working 100%. If that didn't fix your problem then you need to install the GSM / LTE carrier modem (just guessing that your GSM if you can't get this going as thats been only complaint of lost data and he was able to fix it with proper carrier modem).
Known issues/Not Working (only for select users):
No issues exist if phone is setup properly. however...
If it doesnt work for you I'm sorry your best bet if your on VZW is SS with something else installed stock slot would be mk2/mj7 stock odin, reroot, ss,(I go to MK2 as I have best speeds and benchmarks with it) n I know it will work flawlessly if rooted and setup as described cause I've used this ROM package on 7 phones for clients (1 AT&T, 2 TMOs one with mdl bootloader and one with locked and 4 VZWs).... enjoy took me some time to put together so if it works thank me or better yet donate so you can see updates and more roms!
Due to packaging restraints and installation issues a familiar format like .zip is not available yet but will be soon. Until then please use the TWRP/SS restore option as its a more viable install and can be restored onto any slot including Stock through Safestrap. If someone wants to help the cause please install this through philztouch then create a zip from the rom do not flash anything else over the rom and upload the zip and PM me the link it'd help me out a lot!
Lil about me: I'm a now broke, technically I'm disabled (w/ 4 crushed discs in spine the gov says I'm too young to get disability and shouldn't admit that MMJ medicine works for me they=heartless pricks)I'm a full time single parent of a 1 yr old so I don't get a lot of time for my passions anymore. ex award winning programmer (lost the love for it, be sure to copyright anything you intellectually own especially when it comes to working with G or MS. they'll steal your everything claim you signed it over and hang you out to dry) now i'm just a fellow android lover with a knack for making things work when they normally won't, experimenting, coding,scripting, anything I feel like doing so if this or any of my other creations or additions to your phone helped you in any way help keep my kid in fresh diapers or put a beer in my hand please. Anything is better than nothing I have spent countless hours learning testing and everything in between to bring you cool stuff like this. Thanks!
Install:
Unzip into your new SS backup dir into your backup Safestrap folder in a folder like gogolies-echoe12v3 make sure all files are simply in 1 folder and that folder is in your backup directory and restore to a ***blank/newly created or STOCK*** rom slot. I went super small as small as SS would allow for slot creation. If your getting an error on restoring be sure to try deleting the slot and re-adding it then restoring the system files. If your WiFi doesn't work try flashing MJ7 or MK2 SS modules but only flash modules after 1st booting up rom and knowing wifi isnt working. 1st boot takes time plz allow a minute after loading up 1st time.

3a. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Backup
2. Recommended Recovery: PhilZ Touch
3. You need to do a clean install!!! Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe System (In Philz recovery use the Following Options: Wipe Data/ Factory Reset/ Clean to Install a New Rom) and then Install Zip (from either external or internal SD depending on where you chose to save the Rom)
4. The installation process takes between 3-5 minutes. Let it do its job Also the 1st boot also takes 3-5 minutes. I would also recommend that before the initial setup, you dont do anything to your phone for 5 minutes... Let it settle and then proceed with the initial setup... That's just my usual ritual with any Rom I flash
Note: Even if you are coming from a previous version of Echoe Rom, it is still STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you do a full wipe before flashing!!
5. Reboot and Enjoy
6. If by any chance you have any issues with LTE, do the following:
Using Root Explorer or an analogous app go to data >property>persist.radio.lteon.xml open the file in Text Editor and change the value to true. Save and Exit and Reboot
- ALSO READ THIS EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND USER FRIENDLY GUIDE TO FLASHING THE ECHOE ROM CREATED BY @fAiLOfax !!! (Thank you so much!!): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47227598#post47227598
3b. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS HUGE THANKS TO @Mr.Yawnie
Full/Slim versions:
VERSION 5.0 ONLY
Q: S-browser in missing in v5, where can i get it?
A: It has been removed on purpose as it didn't work with the current kernel (kept FC).
Q: Does 3minit framework work with this rom?
A: No, not yet as 3minit haven't been updated to support android 4.3.
Q: How can i get back the call recording option?
A: With Xposed framework. This module has been confirmed to work.
Q: I have poor connection and/or i keep losing connection occasionally when screen shuts. Is there a fix for this?
A: Yes. Flash mj5 modem in Odin.
VERSION 4.0/4.1 ONLY
Q: I don't have the S-Browser and Samsung keyboard! Please help!!"
A: Both the stock browser and keyboard have been deleted on purpose since they did not work well with the 4.3 leak and kept FC. You may try to install them back yourself and most likely you'll face the issues mentioned.
Q: My wi-fi keeps forgetting the ssid and it takes 30 seconds to connect. How can i fix this?
A: This is an issue in version 4.0 only, and has been fixed in v4.1. Please update your rom.
Q: My LTE signal doesn't stay on when i turn off the screen. I lose my connection completely. Is there i fix for this?
A: This is a known issue and has been mentioned in OP as a bug. In Connections/ More Networks/ Mobile Networks/Network Mode choose GSM. You can choose LTE if you want but unless you are in an area that has non-stop LTE coverage, you will face the following bug: when your screen is off, it will lose the networks and stop mobile data. That wont happen when the screen is on and its really fast. So the solution would be to have the GSM option ticked and that way you still have mobile data even with screen off.
Q: I don't like the custom EchoeRom background. How can i get back to stock?
A: To revert back to stock background please flash this .zip https://mega.co.nz/#!CwoDBRyK!Pk7V9m8tzpwxTby-dZub7yeWLB4oCXmTeSU-CWCUdJ4
ALL VERSIONS
Q: Is there a possibility of getting knox status 0x1 and thus void root when flashing this rom?
A: No, Echoe roms does not include bootloader so you will still have the old bootloader if you had it prior to flashing Echoe rom. This way you can still have an old bootloader with fully working newer firmware bases, even the new 4.3!
Q: I have lost the brightness bar after flashing Echoe V 3.1. How can I reinstall it back?
A: It has been removed on purpose, however you can get it back by flashing either one of the .zips below:
Add Brightness Bar: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hxsp1xo333ivim0/AddBrightnessBar.zip
Add Brightness Bar and Remove Transparent Background: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4xzkpd3w2mney8a/RemoveTransparentBGandADDBrightnessBar.zip
Q: How to disable 4-way rotating lockscreen?
A: You can just flash one of the .zips below and remove either just the lockscreen rotation or both lockscreen and 4-way screen rotation.
Remove Lockscreen Rotation (in other words, to keep just the 4way screen rotation): https://www.dropbox.com/s/9z1eghz9lfpyb54/4wayRotation.zip
Remove both Lockscreen Rotation and 4way Rotation: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v2kuqbt6ni32iit/RemoveLockscreenand4wayRotation.zip
Q: LTE is not working, how can i fix it?
A: Using Root Explorer or an analogous app go to data >property>persist.radio.lteon.xml open the file in Text Editor and change the value to true. Save and Exit and Reboot. (if you don't have the persist.radio.lteon.xml file, download and paste it from https://mega.co.nz/#!cJhQkSBI!c3AqJDWYv0sleCNjLvFlbkhnn34b1Y7TdXwa51ajurw and change permissions to rw---)
If this doesn't work and you don't have LTE option in settings, try downloading and flashing this zip Http://l.bitcasa.com/p3BbVcQo.
Q: Is there a way to enable fast charge?
A: Currently Adam kernel does not support it, but you try Ausdim kernel instead as it has the option for fast charge.
Q: How to delete sound in bootanimation?
A: Navigate to system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.mp3 and change it to PowerOn.bak or delete it completely using root browser or similar app.
Q: I'm getting really poor screen time. How can I fix it?
A: You need to use WLD (wake lock detector) or similar app to see what app(s) cause you wakelocks. Remember to enable system apps from setting settings.
- if it's media scanner that's draining your battery, download 'rescan media scanner' from the market to disable media scanner.
- if it's NlpCollectorWakeLock, then go to Google settings > Android Device Manager and uncheck Remotely locate this device.
It is also good to use Greenify to hibernate apps and save your battery.
Q: I have FC while trying to change volume settings. How to get it working again?
A: It is an issue with older 3minit framework. Download Echoe3minit and the problem is solved.
SLIM specific questions:
Q: I have problems with email/alarm/live wallpaper/whatever app, could you please help me?
A: Download the necessary .apk file(s) from Deleted files in here http://www.mediafire.com/folder/mru89xyk9htzh/ECHOE_Slim_deleted_Files#dw0vdb9z3ydbh and copy paste it to system/app (overwrite, change permissions to rw-r-r, reboot). If unsure what .apk's to download, address your questions to Director Of EchoeSlim Development: @tschulieh
For stock email app, you need SecEmail_J.apk (and SecExchange.apk)
For live wallpaper, you need SecLiveWallpapersPicker.apk
For alarm to work with S-view flip cover (only v3.0 and below, not 3.1), you need ClockPackage.apk
S-VIEW FLIP COVER USERS - Please check if alarm works with s-view cover closed. If not, you're running slim version v3 or before and need to download the clockpackage.apk from deleted files and follow the instructions above. Reason for this is that SLIM versions prior v3.1 has ported clock app from SGS3 and thus does not support s-view.
Q: I'm using SLIM version of Echoe and there is no stock email app. Can I get it back and if yes, how?
A: Yes, you can. Just download SecEmail_J.apk from deleted files http://www.mediafire.com/download/s4bm9mzmy72f356/SecEmail_J.apk and Copy-paste it to system/app. Remember to change permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
Q: Can't find ringtones on my phone, where are they or why aren't they there?
A: Ringtones are deleted in SLIM versions. You can download them back from http://www.mediafire.com/folder/mru89xyk9htzh/ECHOE_Slim_deleted_Files#6d92lx1acork4. Remember to save the .ogg files to ringtones folder in internal or external SD.
Q: How can i get Google Camera to work in Slim?
A: Download and install GalleryGoogle.apk file from here http://www.mediafire.com/download/785u2w6l6culuub/GalleryGoogle.apk.
Extra questions:
Q: How to change permissions and what app should i use to do it?
A: Almost any root file manager app will do, but Root Explorer (paid app) and Root Browser (free app) are proved to work without any issues.
Q: Echoe rom md5 checksums are not in OP. Where can i find them?
A: In the download page on androidfilehost.com
Q: Where can i find Echoe banners for my signature?
A: From post #1081 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44372885&postcount=1081 and in OP.

I would be surprised if anyone browsing this thread doesn't realize that:
Flashing this Rom voids your warranty. And as with any custom Rom it comes with the usual dangers/ side effects such as, but not limited to, explosions, wars, spontaneous combustion, your pet forgetting all his/her tricks, retrograde and anterograde amnesia, interpersonal alienation, a number of psychosomatic, neurological, and metaphysical complaints, and in general an overall disturbance in the "order of things". Having said all that, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for anything happening to your phone as a result of you flashing this Rom...

so is the safestrap download stock or is it themed? The theme looks very horrific

Is it just me, or the downloads are extremely slow?.

HOW TO INSTALL PROPERLY FROM NIE TO NK2!!!
Instructions from HERE - Thanks to -viperboy-
-viperboy- said:
UPDATED 12/12/14 - Added NK2 tar
I didn't see a decent link to the stock NIE/NK2 tar that wasn't on rapidgator or similar crappy site, so I uploaded it to AFH.
Required Files
N910PVPU1ANK2 tar - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95853297432265112
Samsung USB Drivers - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001612594
Odin - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001612591
How to Flash
Install Samsung USB Drivers (if you haven't already)
Unzip N910PVPU1ANIE_N910PSPT1ANIE_SPR.zip, you'll have a file called N910PVPU1ANK2_N910PSPT1ANK2_N910PVPU1ANK2_HOME.tar.md5
Unzip Odin-v3.07.zip
Right-click on Odin3-v3.07.exe > Run as Administrator

Click on the PDA button and pick the N910PVPU1ANK2_N910PSPT1ANK2_N910PVPU1ANK2_HOME.tar.md5 file, wait until Odin says that the MD5 was checked successfully
Click Start
Once finished, you'll be back to stock. This WILL NOT reset the KNOX Warranty flag if you've rooted, it will only put you back to the stock ROM/recovery/firmware. Enjoy

As far as me telling you any MAJOR changes? I couldn't fight my way out of a wet paper bag. I have been told better ram, better battery. However the battery can be argued, as they add more 'stuff' for Itson in this update. Check this out this thread for the M8 I would prefer not to happen to my phone however

Once I went Note 3. I couldn't go without. Sold my ipad got Note 10.1. Will get note 12.2 soon unless they have 15" version? lol

You know something about tablets i just get the note 12 pro 3gb ram 64gb memory on newegg it was refurbished open box for 450 with tax it's clean and i pay half price i recommend you that if you are planning to get one.

FYI. This rom will only flash the updated NK2 OS. If you also want the new firmware, and be fully updated to NK2, you still need to odin the N910PVPU1ANK2_N910PSPT1ANK2_N910PVPU1ANK2_HOME.tar.md5. I'm not sure what's changed in the new bootloader and i'm afraid to find out. LOL

[ROM][G928PVPU3DQC5] STOCK BASE - HyBriD_S_aTe(S8)

HyBriD_S_aTe (S8)​
This is a project I've been working on for a while and I decided to share in case anyone wants to use it or has anything to add to make it better. I am not a programmer but dabble in Mods and Tweaks (Google is the best teacher). The Rom is in process, once there is pretty stable version I will have to stop from developing so much, as I'm already in the dog house.
First and foremost, much thanks to all developers here on XDA especially @drewiskee, for his Telenougat Rom which this Rom is meant to resemble somewhat while including some changes for my personal preference. Also thanks to @tdunham for the original contributions that made Telenougat possible. As I'm short on time I will add mentions as i think of them.
DISCLAIMER:
Code:
Your warranty is now void, nothing can change that so why not try some Roms and Tweaks.
I hold no liability of your device breaks, bricks, burns up, kills you or anyone else. Yada yada blah.
ROM FEATURES:
Based on stock firmware
Added features from S8 system dump (Touchwiz,Bixby,Phone,Calculator,SmartClipEdge,SamsingFlow,Members,Whitepages Called it, Spam detection in settings, Widgets on lockscreen, Reminder, ... really anything that would work)
Su.d support
Init.d Support
Init.d Tweaks, build prop tweaks, CSC tweaks...... you name it
Magisk Root
Hotspot mod
Viper V4A sound mod working out of the box - REMOVED V1.1.0 (this can be added via magisk module)
Reboot menu in notification panel (this based on Telenougat with some edits) - v1.1.8 Themed like s8 power menu
Bixby home page (hide video card for no force closes.)
This includes some personal apps as its a personal Rom so just disable what you don't use - as of v1.1.0 some can be uninstalled via regular uninstall under settings>apps
Mods will be added as I get them to post 2
Center clock hides on lockscreen
I've created a custom Google widget that resembles S8 with some major differences (there's a battery meter around the Google icon, current weather shows instead of "Say OK Google", and the widget changes while charging). - Create widget on home page, choose Zooper 4x1, click on it after placed and select "New Style G bar" (or something else if you prefer)
Knox removed
Deodexed
V1.1.8 - Added flashlight, screen recording, screenshot, download to power menu with options in ROM control
V1.1.8 - Added Quick Launcher to recents with options in ROM control (some require reboot)
V1.1.8 - change color of Quick reboot menu in notification panel in ROM control
v1.1.8 - Trial themes > permanent in ROM control
V1.1.8 - Quickly change the "Set as Default" option in ROM control
V1.1.8 - many other options in ROM control
V1.1.8 - System > Official in About device
V1.1.8 - add Greenify, Rounded corners, Adaway, several others found in ROM control (hidden from launcher)
Built in battery bar or Energy bar in ROM control
More
I tried to go with the most features with keeping function
Some unwanted Sprint bloat removed
APPS INCLUDED
L Speed (this will make the device fly if maxed out and Aggressive Doze saves a ton of battery life)
Energy Bar beta (battery bar at top of status bar).
Alternate File explore option with Root support
Bixby Reminder (shortcut in Bixby home can be added to home screen)
All in One Gestures (customize buttons, swipes, whatever)
PLANNED FOR FUTURE:
Add Flashlight and Recovery to Power Menu
Integrate RomControl (this will take some time, as I am not a programmer by trade I am a flooring installer)
Check for bugs? I'm unable to test everything myself hence the posting of da Rom.

LINKS​:
V1.1.8 Final Final FIXED 7/12/17 Most likely my last update, I ordered an S8+ (although now that I have it there's not much difference and I like the feel of the s6 edge plus a little more). Updated items are above in Rom features section.
HyBriD S_aTe V1.1.6 - updated many apps, install non play store apps by default, no signature check (making easier to update system apps), ROM now says "official" in about screen, added reboot recovery to power menu, changed default wallpapers, changed default lock screen wallpaper to "HyBriD ROM" custom paper, included a dark theme to set by Theme store>my themes (changed to default icons instead of theme icons), more changes.
MIRROR v1.1.6
V1.1.3 - Enable stock battery animation, battery in quicksettings, remove couple apps(install from play store free), changed default wallpapers and added s8 wallpapers, enable install non play store apps by default, disable app verification(experimental), everything should be running well and I am going to focus on mods rather than Rom for a while. Any mods can be flashed via recovery or i will be working on magical modules soon.
v1.1.0 -Final (fix hotspot, hopefully fix avatars in messages, floating_features.xml additions, change in user apps method, remove V4A - future mods will be via flash or magisk for stability, updates and more)
V1.0.7 - final

TELEGRAM MESSAGE
Me on Telegram​
It takes less time to hit the thumbs up "thanks" button than it takes to download my file. I'm not asking for anything else, don't be lazy.

ADD-ONS and MODS:​
- NO SAFE VOLUME WARNING: (Flashable Zip)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxg8kVWBF2gcTXFkRDY1VHliY2M/view?usp=drivesdk
- My wallpaper folder. I use Automagic to rotate these every hour on home screen and every unlock on lockscreen.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/35k5g3cc71r5yy6/Wallpapers.zip
- My zooper folder attached to post. Unzip on root of /sdcard if widgets not being included in rom or for anyone that wants the New Style G Bar below. It is light colored when not charging.
CHARGING
NORMAL
- Enable Converter in Calculator app.
Unlock Hotspot versions 1.04 - 1.0.7 (only for G928P, will break other devices and different ROMs most likely) - Flashable zip

Recommended apps:​
- Automagic (automate tasks on your phone. Like tasker but with visual GUI)
If you end up getting this I can share some widgets that let you swap wallpapers throughout the day and any time.
- SystemUI Tuner (turn off any notification icon)
- Soundcamp (make music on your device with instruments and sound boards)

KNOWN ISSUES​
- Places Tab in phone shows nothing nearby, maybe in another region?
- Samsung Pass doesn't work with rooted device. Will remove on future revisions.
- Possible crash of BIXBY when video card is shown? Disable video card. Bixby page>settings>cards
- Some built in apps not playing well being system apps. (TITANIUM BACKUP, POLARIS OFFICE,let me know any others). Just install again from play store or use explorer to go to apk file and install maybe. I will take them out in the future until figure out how to include "user apps" in rom. These will crash at first boot just hit close and continue on.
-V4A sound requires install of module in Magisk Manager
- V1.1.8. Custom background for power menu has some quirks. If ROM control crashes just clear data on that app, then open it and go to "Links and Other Settings">Setting Intents> Click reset power Bg. Can now choose different background. Also, I've found I can only choose background with external app like Mega. I just put all my images online then choose what I want. This is something to do with nougat implementation of image. If an update comes I will try to get it fixed.
- V1.1.8 FIX - Phone force closing, install latest Samsung phone apk

Cool will try it out, did you get AOD screen to work?

AOD would require kernel support. It may be possible to need with kernel to add but I haven't touched kernel yet.
On a side note I found a cool feature never knew. Nougat always sets default app when you first pick it but if you go to settings>apps>menu>default apps there is option to make it all every time like lollipop. I been using "better open with" for this but now won't need it (although it doesn't hurt). You can also change other settings in there for default assistant and others. ?

HOTSPOT
I'm sorry to say that hotspot is not actually working unless you have subscription . I thought it was working I either messed up or didn't wait long enough to get subscription message. This is my highest priority as it's main reason i am not in stock firmware. i have sent message to some devs to hopefully get some help but in mean time I'm going through files swapping them as i can to get it working. If anyone finds a solution please let me know and i will update ROM and/ or put a patch file in OP.

Not sure i am running V4 TeleNougatV4_4/27Build now and messaging app looks like s8 and when i apply theme it updates but in your build i do not have sent avatar and when i apply theme gives me mix of default and themed bubbles.
I tried flashing s8 sms but still not taking effect even with re-flashing ROM fresh full wipe, other then that ROM looks awesome like using t s8 sms looks clean and nice

It has to be enabled in floating_feature.XML (system/etc) but I don't see any difference after enabling. I will enable by default but can you post a screenshot so I know what I'm looking for final result

Update
New version in OP.
Fix Hotspot, update couple things, floating_feature.XML additions, change user app method(can uninstall regularly), add clipboard panel (external app since clipboard edge not working). Removed V4A future mods can be added via magisk or flashing.
I am working on themes for night clock, can change font colors easily but can't find battery yet. Will post some when done. Not sure how to screenshot.

Final update in OP. Should be good to go I am going to work on other things for a while. If bugs arise I will assist in fixing them, if enough I will do one more update. Tired of setting my phone up over and over to test from wiped state.
Enabled battery animation, battery in quick settings, removed energy bar.

Sorry I'm not sure how to do that, but you may be able to choose language in settings>General Management>language and input.
For all: An update is on the way, to be posted in next day or 2. Was trying to get a few more mods implemented
