Hi all,
Today, I proudly present GomdoLight KitKat for KOREAN LG G / G2 / G3 / G3A / G3cat6 / Gflex / GK / Gpro / Gpro2 / LTE3 / Vu2 / Vu3 / Gpad7LTE, one of the most widely used (with 20,000+ users approximately) stock-based custom firmware in South Korea.
GomdoLight is more than 3 year old already (first version released on 19th December 2012), and is very mature.
Technically speaking GomdoLight is NOT a complete ROM, but rather a large-scale patch, which modifies official stock firmware to remove all the unnecessary components preloaded by operator/manufacturer, and reorganizes key system parts to 'basic' Android OS with manufacturer's flavor. For some devices GomdoLight's own specialized tool 'GomdoLight Sideloader' can make it possible to install GomdoLight directly over the stock firmware, even without rooting or flashing custom recovery!
GomdoLight is compatible with the following devices (BOLD indicates GomdoLight Sideloader support - no root required)
LG Optimus G: LG-F180S, LG-F180K, LG-F180L ("G")
LG G2: LG-F320S, LG-F320K, LG-F320L ("G2")
LG G3: LG-F400S, LG-F400K, LG-F400L ("G3")
LG G3A: LG-F410S ("G3A")
LG G3 Cat.6: LG-F460S, LG-F460K, LG-F460L ("G3")
LG G Flex: LG-F340S, LG-F340K, LG-F340L ("Gflex")
LG GK: LG-F220K ("GK")
LG G Pro: LG-F240S, LG-F240K, LG-F240L ("Gpro")
LG G Pro 2: LG-F350S, LG-F350K, LG-F350L ("Gpro2")
LG Gx: LG-F310L, LG-F310LR ("Gx")
LG Optimus LTE3: LG-F260S ("LTE3")
LG Optimus Vu2: LG-F200S, LG-F200K, LG-F200L ("Vu2")
LG Vu 3: LG-F300S, LG-F300K, LG-F300L ("Vu3")
LG G Pad 7.0 LTE: LG-V410 ("Gpad7LTE")
A very thorough and extensive (probably, the most extensive on entire xda) manual is provided at the download page, which contains literally everything you need to know to install GomdoLight. FAILURE TO READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE INSTALLING WILL ALWAYS LEAD TO VARIOUS UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Needless to say, I WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ALREADY ADDRESSED IN THIS DOCUMENT.
Due to xda forum's limits (in functionality) I am posting a link to the separate (external) DOWNLOAD PAGE. There is no way I can link to each section in the document in xda posts, since xda does not support HTML tag. However some portions of the document are also introduced here.

They are stock-based ROMs that reinstalls the OS. This one is a large-scale patch that modifies the exiting stock firmware, and add some very unique features. It has a very extensive startup script set made my me, and the script set gives GomdoLight unparalleled flexibility and disaster recovery capabilities.
GomdoLight does not focus on hacks and tweaks, but rather on usability and stability.
Can be ported to other variants?

Hold on your horses, first of all this is not a ROM as stated and I guess you own the D803 variant once you're on Canada, I wouldn't try it once it plays around with the system partitions and those are quite different between Korean and worldwide variants. IDK much about these scripts for the KK stock but I definitely would not try it.
If they're just a bunch of scripts they could be Open Source for contribution, couldn't they? It would also be better for contribution and porting to other variants although I think we rarely have people here that use the pure stock KK once we have a lot of custom AOSP and good LG based L/KK ROMs.

1. partition layout is usually not important with gomdolight.
2. it is not just a bunch of scripts. as of now, the script set EXPECTS the full gomdolight system installed and it is specialized only for gomdolight. however anyone is welcome to port the script set to other devices.
gomdolight is developed to unleash the true potential of pure stock KK, and prove that stock KK can be indeed useful without system tweaks or such apps if aided by just some specialized scripts.

choose f180k. if status bar is proved compatible everything will be good.
gomdolight kitkat is more script-oriented, so not many apks are replaced from the stock firmware. so there is a quite high possibility that it will be compatible with many variants.
however, you may need to 'debloat' the stock firmware by yourself, since i do not know what bloatwares are preloaded in non-korean stock firmware.

@juniecho thanks for your contribution, i have F300K branding is Olleh, now it is in recovery mode i have downloaded 2 file f20l.kdz and f20f.kdz but all stop at 50% or 54% when flashing, does F300K need to be flashed by its own specific branding? do you have links to these F300K Olleh firmware? (to flash before going to Gomdolight)
i would like to try using this Gomdolight ROM

sorry for late reply. by f300k you mean vu3. in the manual http://gomdolight.com/?page_id=518 you can find the 'firmware compatibility table' at 4-2.1. when you look at the table you will find download links for 20F stock kdz, which is proven safe. f300k can be flashed via lg flash tool 2014 (without specific branding or utility, etc.), and since the kdz file i provide is not a CSE-type kdz, you can just flash it with 'normal flash' mode. (by contrast, CSE-type kdzs should be flashed with 'CSE flash' option, and if you choose 'CSE flash' mode it will force a factory reset upon flashing)
sumup: 1) download the kdz file from the firmware compatibility table in the manual, 2) flash it with 'lg flash tool 2014' with normal flash mode.
did that already but stops at 40 or 50% when flashing, downloading the kdz file with IDM is not a problem? but i think when preparing the kdz file if any error occur, the LG flashtool should have notice it right?

i have all lollipop firmwares already, but lollipop support is not planned yet. however, if lge shows more dev-friendly attitude in the future, i will definitely support lollipop. however it will NOT be soon.
For the Jellybean version, a nandroid was provided in the OP for non-Korean model G Pro users to restore in recovery before flashing GomdoLight. It was a modified version of the Korean stock firmware. Any chance a modified stock Kitkat could be provided for us E98x users? If not, what kind of mods were made to make it compatible?

All compatibility problems with GomdoLight rise from a single factor: incompatible APKs.
GomdoLight JB had a lot of APKs to overwrite, and they were modded from Korean stock APKs. These were sometimes incompatible with foreign (non-Korean) stock firmware. Obviously, the more APKs in the rom, the higher chance to conflict.
However, KK version has only 2 APKs - SystemUI (status bar) and Camera. The rest are just shell scripts designed to work universally. And due to LGE's improvement on their development cycle most KK APKs has common code base across many variants.
So now,
1) There are less APKs included in the GomdoLight KK ROM (more dependency on already-well-working stock firmware)
2) LGE's improvements, with commonly shared code base helps 'foreign' firmware compatibility
3) Universally working shell scripts does not have compatability problems
→ these all, combined together, give GomdoLight better compatibility with non-Korean variants.
The only problem left is 'debloating'. Because GomdoLight KK does not know what files are bloatware in the non-Korean stock firmware, it cannot delete them. However you can always root the device with internal 'enable.root' GomdoLight Flag, and delete them yourself.
If your variant is PROVED INCOMPATIBLE with GomdoLight, then I will consider providing Nandroid of Korean stock firmware.
Sounds pretty easy. I'll take a swing at it. My guess is there will be less chance of conflicts if I delete those 2 APKs before installing GomdoLight, so I'll try it that way first. Thanks for the info.
EDIT: On second thought, I think I was misunderstanding where you were going with those 2 APKs; I was thinking you were saying they might be a problem, but you were really just saying that they're the only 2 APKs in the ROM (that's what I get for reading this before having my morning coffee.) I flashed the E980 KK TOT file, I'm going to make a nandroid of that to have something to fall back on in case anything goes wrong, and then I'm installing GomdoLight. I'll post a follow-up on how it works out.

It worked out great for my E980. I didn't have to do anything special, but I did do it the Custom Recovery Image way. Once in the Aroma installer, I chose the F240S model (not sure it matters.) I chose the components I wanted (I'm gonna guess to make sure you uninstall the TV feature, as we don't have the internal tuner that the F240 models have.) But otherwise, just follow the instructions... they really are some of the most detailed instructions you'll ever come across. Seriously, anyone asking questions about the install, isn't reading the instructions, and there's more than enough info already on the forums about installing recoveries in Kitkat. This is a nice buff to keeping it stock. Primo work, thank you!

Even if you leave the TV feature enabled, it will not install TV, and have no negative effect: what these options do is just to decide that 'to what apps should GomdoLight send the pm disable shell command'. If you leave the TV enabled GomdoLight will just think, 'oh I should not send the pm disable command for TV component'. Since you do not have the TV app in the first place, it will have no impact whatsoever.

Hey guys iTechy21 here and I am glad to announce I have a NEW project I'm working on to make an open source toolkit made from c# to allow easy development for other devices. This project will aim to support as many devices as possible with different toolkits for different devices therefore unifying the experience between them.
This will also be 100% open source when fully complete and is released under the GPLV3 licence (apart from the stuff I did not develop e.g. Custom Recoveries, root.zip, adb / fastboot and stock software all rights go to their respective owners).
Features
Support for any android version and Rom
Full Backup and Restore of apps + data (Nandroid is in the works...)
Unlock / Lock your bootloader (removed locking due to possible issues)
Flash a custom recovery (all supported including stock)
Shows attached device(s) in status bar
Advanced CMD mode for power users - type any ADB Command you want!(Will be reimplemented!)
Booting the device into and out of fastboot with a button click
Flash back to stock (Lollipop!) and keeps your bootloader unlocked
To come
Flash 100% stock DONE!
Save backups with custom names DONE!
Install APK's through ADB DONE!
Flash zip via recovery commands DONE!
Improve UI to make it look cleaner...
Backup the EFS Partition (will be coming Soon) DONE!
Log screen to help amateurs with adb learn (and also output errors to be more verbose) Abandoned due to too many issues
Ability to change colour theme from light to dark and the colours (coming Soon™)
Improve OTA system (continuous)
I am accepting requests if they are not too obscure to find out (even better if you find a way to do it as it cuts down on my research time which I don't have a lot of )
Legal
This is an unofficial toolkit made by an independent developer who has no association with oneplus apart from the fact that he owns a 64gb Sandstone black phone. I cannot be held responsible for anything that may happen to your phone! Even if it is just exploding, catching fire or just voiding the warranty.
Changelog
Material 0.0.1.5 ) - Major Milestone! - Untested Oxygen OS flashing. Do-so at your own risk! (Might not work not fully tested)
Improved theming
Updates to internal .dll's
Stability improvements
UI Tweaks
More verbosity via dialogue messages
System requirementsTo run this needs an x86 or x64 based system (Not supported on Windows RT)
And version 4.5 of the .NET framework (which is installed upon install if missing (needs testing!) and requires Windows 7 or Higher (sorry XP users )

I knew that would be an issue. That's due to the fact it includes all the stock files for CM11S. However I will make it possible by downloading it within the app unzipping it and then flashing the device. But I'm fairly novice at c# and I don't have a lot of time to develop at this moment in time...

Thank you I'll finally get noticed for something XD
... It works great but the size is a big deal.
Also, i suggest that ... you show what version of recovery you will flash - TWRP ( is generic and the filename does not gives you clue, the same for the others )
Also, for the Stock firmware ( wich version is it ?! )
SuperSU is not updated ... you could improve and use the last stable from chainfire
all the other things looks great so far.

Thanks for the feedback. I may improve that make to another form with information on the specific versions (along with a built in download tool). Along with updating the SuperSU.zip
The first thing I'll do is work on that once all the basic features are there. But generally its the latest version of TWRP that is stable along with the other recoveries...
As for the stock I think the one I included was 44s but it may be 5Q (ew). Ill be implementing a downloader for the stock images to download whatever the latest version is from cyanogen...

I'll see what I can do but the size will be reduced in the next update as it will remove the stock zip and replace it with a downloader which will download the stock images and then flash them reducing the size massively... (but I use Gdrive as its easy to find the download link unlike with Dev-host...)
I can´t flash twrp with this toolikt any one have a clue?
Do you have the adb drivers installed? Or is it throwing an error?

===============================================
READ READ READ!! WARNING OTHER MODEL PHONES READ READ READ!!
Only for D-802 - Model 805 - Model 806
Do not install under no circumstances in other phone. It contains partitions for version KITKAT D-802, D-805, D-806.
If you install the ROM in other model, the phone won't turn on again after rebooting.
**************************************************
READ READ READ!! FOR MODELS D-802 D-805 D-0806 READ READ READ!!
** By installing this ROM you’ll have the official version of LG Kitkat bootloader “G”. This is necessary for operating the new lollipop’s kernel. The last step is an absolutely necessary and sooner or later you will have to do if you want to use versions Lollipop. Whether from a custom rom or official OTA.
** Changing means that all kernels to install form this time must be bumped, If you want to install a new one after going through this ROM.
** All installations required Kernels bumped Lollipop ROM. To install bumped Kernels never use recovery Philz. This recovery patch the kernel and recovery, making your phone useless after a reboot.
**************************************************
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
READ READ READ INSTALLATION FOR MODELS D-802 D-805 D-806 READ READ READ
First and before installing this rom change the recovery immediately. Always use TWRP recovery, is absolutely necessary for avoid installation problems. If you are using Philz you may lose the recovery and the boot.
Second, perform a complete backup of your current ROM in order to back at any time. As long as the kernel version to recover is bumped.
If you want to install a new ROM after installing this one remember also to install a KitKat modem and a bump kernel. If you don’t you won’t pass the LG logo.
If you want to operate a Kernel that use Loki you must downgrade the bootloader to Jellybeam for D-802, D-805 and D-806.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE ROM:
* The ROM is official based of PRO2 D-838-20H. It’s adapted to operate in our phone and our model. But everything else is Pro2.
* The ROM have a “Fix” for me in binary code, to avoid the loss of signal and adjust the band to Europe. This binary is activated from the kernel. If you use another kernel or remove the binary signal can have losses and FC Phone.
* In this version everything works.
IT INCLUDES:
- LG official version Pro2. 20H. Including icons based L.
- All LG programs, you know that I like STOCK ROM, including LG HEALTH.
- Dual Window.
- One hand operation.
- Hiding keys.
- Ten Themes.
- Adaway.
- Task Manager.
- Compass (Arde Dev Team).
- EasyHome.
- Added call control to see from the window in the Official cover LG.
- The camera records and works in all formats without changing the build.prop as D-838. Now your phone will always be D-802, D-805 and D-806 work all the extras included.
- Automatic detection of OTG, headphones or USB connection.
- More…
CHANGE LOG:
- Repaired all bugs of previous versions.
AROMA MODS SELECTABLE FROM NOW:
** Select models 802/5/6.
** Selection of 3 modems for the D-802.
** Selection of 1 modem for D-805 and D-806.
** You can select Clock in the center or left and battery 1%.
** NavBar from 39Dpi (Series) to 24Dpi.
** Choose between 3 sound modes, Series, medium and high. Repaired, the average middle and high sounds without distorting.
** And many other details
** More…
KERNEL:
The kernel is the same for all models of the G2 include the ROM. It unifies all in one kernel to avoid questions of different models on the same thread, so we can avoid confusion, not to mention that everyone can enjoy the advances regardless of your model.
* Source Code Official LG Lollipop for LG G2.
* Modified parameters to save battery.
* New governor Acura is included. With this governor is achieved a good performance with a good consumption. If you want it even more battery save, but less performance, change to OnDemand.
* The kernel does not include overclocking.
* Optimized use of the GPU to make it more effective speed changes.
* Selected idle speed 200Mhz GPU. 320Mhz stock.
* Fixed GPU simple ondemand governor.
* New options for Governor.
* New options for I / O for reading.
* Reading 1024kbs.
* Little tweaks to improve Source.

Great stuff! @
Nice, I'll test it tomorrow as it's too late to make a backup now.
I'll report back if I would find any issues. Thanks for sharing:good:
Edit: well I installed it and I could just upgrade from optimusg3 to it and thats nice without any real issues. The only thing that sucked was that the installer waa not in english. So I thought like okay, lets just press this. And I guess that that change made my widgets different :l so I have to reinstall the whole thing again to have it normal. When it comes to kernel you also have 3 choices but I will use google translate I guess for installing next time.
But further no bugs. Only thing that I miss is dorimanx[emoji14]
Instructions are a bit confusing, but i'm going to try it. Hopefully it works better than GRola
I installed the ROM and everything work just fine.But some of the themes have bugs after changed some icons become pixelated...But overall great rom..Need to test more if i found any bugs i will report.Gj developer..

How you installed? You did clean install? It works for me correctly.
This is the Official Jaguar rom for Leo, which is based on AOSP with some flavors from Slim and Dirtyunicorn plus a bunch of features only this rom has, such as a working camera button. . The rom was originally made for Xperia Z1 Honami in August 2015, then extended to Z1c and now to Z2/Z3/Z3c. The rom has been downloaded thousands times and enjoyed great success. I hope the trend will continue with Jaguar for Leo.
Why LP, as opposed to MM and Nougat? Several reasons. The main one is Sony's unfriendliness to development community. Camera sucks, because Sony wouldn't provide proper blobs. Also, MM brings very few features, as opposed to LP. MM is still in alpha, but is already being abandoned by developers in favor of Nougat. Nougat will never work for Z1/Z2/Z3, because Sony wants you to buy a newer device. And finally, all LP roms, except Jaguar, have been abandoned by their developers since November 2015. CM still publishes nightly LP, but they have abandoned CM 12.1 kernel, meaning, they haven't incorporated about 800 security patches from Google and Code Aurora in LP kernel. Another reason - I take changes from Android Gerrit Master Branch, Code Aurora, Google Security Bulletins and 3.10, 3.18 and 4.x kernels. Enough reasons for you?
The main difference from other roms is the emphasis on security and multiple features. With that in mind , let's see what Jaguar has to offer:
1. Hardened Kernel, modified M5; hardened rom built with HYPERTOOL 5.4
2. All ciphers enabled in kernel instead of just a few
3. Hardened/Fortified Bionic and Libs
4. Fstack protection strong to resist buffer overflows
5. Many System apps and processes are made read-only, to reduce elevation of privilege
6. Selinux replaced with Tomoyo Security, Yam security
7. Disc encryption, keymaster to 256 bit AES instead of 128
8. Latest TWRP with working brightness and ability to decrypt Data (Coming Soon)
9. Random number generation mixed hardware/software, as recommended by Linus Torwalds
10. Options to randomize host on every boot
11. Option to have a separate password for lock screen and boot
12. Qualcomm's Time Services disabled due to leaking on early boot (set time to automatic to get it from your carrier)
13. WIFI Background Scanning disabled to prevent leaking
14. Internet disabled for both WIFI and Data until Afwall is set and activiated (Afwall included in download, install as regular app)
15. The phone is VOLTE ready and you have all network options available in Cell menu (not just LTE/WCDMA/GSM)
16. GRsecurity features, such as Sidechannel implemented
17. Some Pax Security Features
18. Option to deny USB connection: denied always; denied when locked; and allowed always
19. Hardened webview with Google and other "interesting" IPs removed
20. Prevention of bruteforcing screen pin: the phone will reboot upon 3 unsuccessful attempts
21. Perfect_Event_Paranoid ported from Grsecurity: now third party apps can't use other apps including system to elevate privileges
22. Camera hardware button works to focus, take pictures and start video recording
23. Option to disable writing to Tombstones (a lot of private info is dumped there if there is a crash)
24. Option to disable continuing writing of logcat
25. Option to disable device cameras: back; front, both or none
26. Option to disable third party apps to access clipboard
27. Always latest Google Security Patches
28. Always latest Code Aurora Security Patches
29. Changes ported directly from Google Android Gerrit, so most of those in MM and even N are in this rom
30. About 80% of kernel changes are ported into Jaguar kernel from 3.10 and 3.18 (not Sony AOSP 3.10 that has Down Syndrome, but Linux/Google/Code Aurora one)
31. Rom is odexed to significantly increase boot speed (under 30 seconds) and application start
32. Many more security features ported from Linux and Copperhead OS
33. Dns Crypt: a feature allowing to choose among many Dns providers (all encrypted)
34. Seccomp: secure computing enabled in kernel
Other features include: Layers Theme Engine; Native Call Recording with interface integrated in Dialer with no restrictions; Privacy Guard; Native Wakelock Blocker; Native Black List; Global Menu; Slim Recents; Traffic Indicators; Advanced Reboot; Slim Pie; CPU Info on Screen; Ram Bar in Recents; Open Source Supeuser included and integrated in Settings; True Offline Charging with Screen Off; Kernel Adiutor included (unzip and install as a normal app) and integrated in Settings plus more
Things users need to know to have smooth experience:. These are not bugs, but rather an explanation of some features
1. If you want to do data encryption, keep in mind that unlike Android, Jaguar uses 256 bit encryption. If you were encrypted on other roms, you won't be able to decrypt. So, wipe encryption and then re-encrypt on Jaguar. Also, keep in mind that if you ever did factory reset on official TWRP 3+ for honami, your data partition is screwed and have to be resized to enable encryption. This has nothing to do with the rom, but rather with the official TWRP itself. Fastboot my unofficial TWRP 3.0.2, (it is coming for Xperia Z3c, which, by the way has working brightness, as well as ability to decrypt and mount data
2. Jaguar contains a script running on early boot, which cuts the internet access to both WIFI and Data until Afwall is running. This is done to prevent leaking, as well as having all your internet traffic routed through some interesting number of servers, including this IP: 26.147.196.22. So, install Afwall and activate it, otherwise, no Internet for you
3. If your system language is different from English and you want to make changes in Phone/Cell Network settings, switch to English first, make the changes and then return to your language. The changes you made will hold. If you try to make the changes in your language, you will have com.android.phone crash. Localization takes time and is virtually impossible to implement in Jaguar, which is a one-person-rom
4. Sony TimeKeep, which is ported from MM/N, now sets the correct time on reboot without the Internet or GSM signal. All you need to do is set it once and TimeKeep will save/recalculate/restore the same on each reboot
5. GAPPS: if you use them, you need to flash them right after the rom (or each update) and before reboot. Flashing after reboot will result in multiple f/c
6. Due to Volte implementation, you might be required to flash LP or MM stock baseband (only if you have no 2g/3g signal)
7. Helpful fastboot commands: for flashing TWRP: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
for flashing kernel: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Download: All updates and change logs are in Post #3
Instructions:
1. Be on LP at least, have TWRP, unlocked bootloader and root
2. In TWRP, wipe data/factory reset, then wipe System/Data/Cache/Dalvik
3. Flash the rom
4. Reboot, install Afwall and Kernel Adiutor as normal apps; activate Afwall to have Internet
5. Enjoy the rom, say thank you, donate or do both
Warning: If your device and/or anyone in the immediate vicinity dies, don't blame me: it is all China and Russia's fault.

Development update and some Screenshots
I broke my Z1 screen again and I am not in the mood for after market screens. And I am sick and tired of Sony crappy treatment of development community.
I am now looking at Lenovo Zuk Z2 or Z2 pro. Both excellent phones with the latest CPU and made out of metal and glass by Motorola which they bought from Google a couple of years ago. Zuk is friendly to developers and their blobs don't dumb down camera and they don't seek to "unify" bugs for all their devices. I no longer wish to support a fat bastard corporation that can't make a good phone, but thinks that just by putting their logo on the phone would make it worth $700.
RE Jaguar. I will continue to maintain Jaguar mainly with security patches... for a while, but my main work will be concentrated on Zuk. There is a lot of work to be done cleaning Android N and implementing security and other features from Jaguar...

January 29. XDA is having a problem with upload/download. So, here is updated TWRP 3.0.2 that is able to decrypt and mount encrypted data partition. This one is different from the originally posted, because it includes the correct time. Together with the February release (not now), it will set the correct time both in recovery and the rom:
Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120704246 There is a new TWRP on top of this post and in the download section...
January 12: New release This should take care of a color line on Auo displays. Also included is the fully working NFC-HCE for Android Pay (to pass Safety Net, you'll have to delete Supersu and su binary). And January security patches, of course...
Download: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=22563
You may flash dirty on top of another Jaguar release. Otherwise - clean install
__________________________________________________________________________________
December 31. TWRP 3.0.2 able to decrypt data. This works well for Xperia Z1 and Z1c, but, since I don't have the device, it may or may not work for Z3. So, test it and report
Unzip the file (attached to this post) and flash in fastboot like this: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

December 14. New build with increased brightness levels. Flash only if you have a type of display that has flickering on low brightness. If you have no flickering, no need to upgrade

December 10: Rom updated to include
1. December security patches
2. Signature Spoofing (Omnirom type), switch in Developer settings
3. USSD fixed (maybe)

November 10: Rom updated to include November Security Patches. I have also removed SuperSU, as there is a built-in root manager and quite a few people no longer like the Chinese owned SuperSU[/COLOR]

October 18. New release including Code Aurora and Google latest security patches. Also, there is a new feature - option to prevent apps from accessing clipboard in background.

Any support for d6633?

Flash the correct baseband AFTER flashing the rom. If it says unknown baseband, you won't have even a sim card recognized.
USSD is a known issue. It works, but slowly: I get a response in 2-3 minutes...
Flash baseband alreadyworking .but after reboot the base band is gone.btw the rom is super fast.hope u can fix the baseband and ussd. Thanks for the rom.

You have to flash baseband for your country variant. I am in the US and had euro baseband and it took 10 sec for the phone to find signal. Then I flashed US baseband and and now I get signal right away...
Yes I flash my country baseband. At first it shows the baseband.but after reboot the baseband turn to unknow again.
Thanks for a great aosp rom! I'll try whenever I have time.
What do you mean with "localisation takes time"? Do you mean that gps is slow?

No, everything is fast here. Localization means translation to foreign languages. If you want to change mobile network settings (2g/3g/Lte), you would have to switch to English, make changes and then return to your language. That's the only area where you need to do that...
Wow looks amazing, but the million $ question is, is fisheye still present? Since camera is pretty useless on aosp with this fisheye since day 1 on z3..

I don't know. Z2 users say there is no fish eye, but there is one on Z3 compact...
Thanks ! Amazing work !
Any plans for a dual sim version ? (D6633/D6683)
The ROM is FAAAST. Incredible, it restored my apps with titanium twice as fast as with other ROMs .
I have a little request, and is to have the network speed indicators in the right side, at the left of the WiFi indicator.
Thanks!

This is greatest Z3 endeavor so far focused on security and stability!
We cant blame Sony for lack of official N ROM, however, lack of working MM source, no up to date MM ROM, which on galaxy s5 is something obvious makes me wonder if Sony doesn't make z3 obsolete for purpose.
Thank you for your effort!
Are there any prolonged battery life features?
Could any of users share battery life and image quality info?
To check if there is any camera distortion its enough to shot something like computer screen and see if its rectangle or it is distorted.
Camera fisheye bug is present.
Also, I I'm experiencing some light flickering on the screen at minimum brightness. Is more noticeable on white screens.

This is awesome! I didn't expect a proper ROM for the Z3 anymore; Paranoid Android development seems slow and I'm still on infected's last CM12.1 ROM – so this is exactly what I'm looking for: A ROM with focus on security. I'll try it out as soon as possible.
Do you guys experience overheating? I encrypted my phone and it burns now... Using the same ROM but for Z3C...
Edit:
Is it possible to decrypt my phone ? I can only see the information that my phone is encrypted, can't click on it.

Your phone is 'burninig', not because of encryption, but because you changed some settings in Kernel Adiutor. If you don't know what you are doing, don't touch anything. Untick all 'apply on boot' and reboot the phone to load default values. Jaguar on Z3c doesn't get over 50 degrees at highest loads (playing graphic intensive games)...
