Hello,
With kudos to our Devs, I just thought I'd mention what has been posted in Google+ today through XDA, that both links are given for Xposed installer and Gravity box. These are particularly relevant if, like me, you have found issues with many of the roms offered and, after unlocking and rooting, would still like some rom like function in the stock rom. By rom like function I mean: Lock screen tweaks, status bar links and in particular power bar tweaks, that allow for reboot, recovery, etc, pie controls, expanded desktop and navigation bar tweaks. These 2 apks along with the Elementalx Kernal, make the stock 4.3 rom far better than stock and in my estimation, and equal to many roms with far less issues and continuous flashing.

This is what I have been using for a while on my flo. Was using some other all in one like gravity box but it was buggy. Gravity box is the best. I hope the get this 4.4 thing figured out though.

They will most likely iron out all the issues with gravity box on kitkat once Google officially releases it, right now our kitkat roms have quite a few pieces of 4.3 to make it boot and function and since we don't have a complete 4.4 factory image for flo we can't get custom features to work.

All that is about to change. Roll outs have started.

Hi,
I've been trying out different custom roms for my T Mobile S2, thanks to XDA.
After messing around for a while, I decided to go back to the stock rom, but keep it rooted.
The one feature that I miss is the quick panel toggles in custom roms.
I was wondering if anyone could help me mod/install the quick panel toggles in my S2.
I'm running the stock ICS rom, its rooted and has CWM.
I tried searching, but couldn't find anything specific to T Mobile S2. It would be awesome if I can get this toggle feature alone!
Thanks!
Which roms did you try? There are a few that have the quick toggles that have a very stock yet performance upgraded feel.. As far as modding the toggles to work with stock I don't know..

I tried darkside's rom. It was good, but I faced frequent app hangs. So I thought of waiting for the next releases of the rom and reverting to stock for the time being.
After reverting to stock rom, the one feature that I'm really missing at this point is the quick toggle. And I didnt feel any performance difference also.
Just checking to see if an apk or a flashable zip is available for this...
You should give aokp a shot.. You'll curse the word so keep after you've tried it

The toggle .zip is a bit further down on the development list i myself give instructions for your exact wish.

Whoa! Thanks dude...it works!
I really like the CM-based roms, especially AOKP ones. However, I have a couple trips coming up where I need Bluetooth to work flawlessly. Since it has connection/sound issues right now, I may switch to a stock-type rom. However, I rely heavily on the navigation bar. So...
Is there a mod zip somewhere I can install on non AOKP roms? I've searched without luck. Thank you and feel free to call me a spoiled brat (while including useful information)

Found this where someone can create a custom installation of the nav bar for any rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29561333
So, it definitely seems possible, I wonder if it could be done without having to create a custom package.

That would depend on what is Sacs rom and what do you really want out of your phone. There are a number of great roms. you just have to choose the one you like,

This is the first Android phone that I have had where I actually have no desire to flash any custom ROMs. That's how great this phone is (and how not crappy Touchwiz is). I mean, Touchwiz isn't the greatest, and it is full of bloat, but it doesn't get in the way at all. Also, i've used Xposed Framework to add some of the tweaks that I normally like from some other ROMs.
So even if your favorite ROM isn't available yet for the Note 3, I would still say it's never a bad time to make the jump. It's a great phone no matter if it's ROM'd or stock.
Sacs custom ROM has many visual and software features keeps touchwiz but removes crappy apps like s health but still keeps some I use like group play and stock notification except allowing the change of colors notification icon colors but also allows me to choose between different launchers at install without meshing them all together ( I like KitKat) comes with a custom kernel but I can flash another, oh and comes with a lot of small adjustments like hotspot tweak (unlimited) and more but basically I'm looking for those 3 main things in a ROM
Touchwiz with less crap
KitKat launcher
And hotspot tweak

Is this even possible? If so, why hasn't it been done and would someone please get to it? This would eliminate my need of a custom ROM, and I could use ART, which I can't as long as I'm using xposed framework.
I was using ART for several days. Had to go back to Dalvik. Couldn't live without Xposed. It just has too many options. I can deal with a little worse battery and a hair slower opening apps for that kind of customization. I am gonna have to donate to him ASAP. It's a brilliant idea. I do hope he makes it compatible with ART eventually. I wonder it we started some kind of bounty thread if it would perhaps fuel the fire to make it compatible with ART...

ya even i loved xposed .. thats the reason i am still on dalvik ..! Ill maybe shift to paranoid when their kitkat rom is released but till then stock rom needs xposed for me
I just installed 4.4.2 Gummy Kang rom on my old Nook color and on my newer Hisense Sero 7 pro and am really impressed with this rom. Is there any devs thinking about possibly developing this rom for the gt-n5110? I would be happy to give any feedback on the rom for you along with logs if needed.
What other roms are as light yet as full featured as Gummy? I would be interestested. I have tried most of the roms in the note 8 section and none are quite like this rom.
Thank you for any and all input.

What is this ROM?
What are the key features of this ROM as compared with CM11.0? Many thanks for sharing your experience
It is very smooth and has custom features that you would normally have to load Xposed Modules to obtain. Such as customizable notification bar and drop down window for starters. It's like carbon rom or pacman but much lighter and I think smoother.
