This is an ongoing developer project to make way for a modification that will entirely transform your device, but retain the aesthetics and the experience of your phone.

Features :
PAL, First time in Android history that Per-App-Layout has been realized
This rom features a setting called Per-App-Density - PAD. It basically allows you to scale apps, make them bigger or smaller. This is a must for tablet mode since it shrinks your apps considerably, making them useless. you can even scale widgets and framework components like the navigationbar.You can define an apps native DPI with it, make it look stock, smaller or bigger than that, your decision.
All apps are depicted at DPI 182 per standard. No other rom has that feature right now
Google Play does not allow density changes and will stop working if you mess around with that. This rom fixes that problem for you 100%.
More stuff: Recents window closer to stock, fixes for overlapping elements, framework fixes, no crashes, working Phone (looks 100% like stock aswell),Sense 4 Recent Apps too etc.

SOME THINGS I THINK YOU SHOULD SEE FROM THE GSM ROM THREAD:
Check it out, his art is much better then mine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794562​
Go to Settings, System, Font size, set it to NORMAL
Check "Auto Hide" in Settings, System, Statusbar, to finally get Fullscreen (or Hold power button, and press "Toggle StatusBar")
Launcher Settings: margins: SMALL (If youre using Apex / Nova), show permanent searchbar: YES, Grid: 5x4, resize all widgets: YES, Wallpaper scrolling: OFF

If you want to have a stylish yet fully functional status bar - tablet like - go to Settings - Paranoid Settings - click on Configuration and select "Tablet Mode (Optimized)" - Reboot your phone

TUTORIAL
How to change DPI for individual app - Thanks to The Gingerbread Man
You will need;
1 A root level file explorer like root explorer
2 A little patience
To perform the changes
So you need to find out if the app you want to change the dpi level for is either a system or data app, to do this open your file manager and look in system/app or data/app. You need to then long press the app you want and press rename. Then copy the app name by long pressing the text and press copy, dont copy any .apk or -1 at the end of the name.
Then navigate to system folder and look for pad.prop. press the mount rw button then long press open in text editor. So now you need to remember where you found your chosen app, was it system or data? If system long press under then system header or if it was a data app look for the apps header. To paste your app name in the right place find a empty line, long press then paste. You need to add at the start of the line for your app pa.
Nearly there!
So next at the end you need to add .dd= and then your chosen dpi level.
So for example for apex, I have it as a system app and my line in pad.prop for apex looks like
pa.com.anddoes.launcher.dd=221
Then you need to press menu key, then save and exit. Restart your app and it should display how you want

Pad.PROP
pad.prop
BACKUP YOURS BEFORE JUST IN CASE YOU DON'T LIKE MINE!
A personal Pad.Prop setup, that I enjoy the most, when the rom starts up again, goto apex settings turn the sections: margrin size to "None" for both vertical and horizontal, then set your grid to something like 4x4 or 5x4 for both aswell, (the orginal size I believe is 4x4 but I like 5x4, and also I have searchbar locked into the homescreen like on a tablet, I feel this gives ME the perfect mix of tablet/phone.
No need to fix roaming, I was able to write it into the rom.
Mirror as you must, but when you do, let me know in a PM and I'll post them in the thread.

IF you have have any problems I would like to keep them in one place for fixing, try emailing me at [email protected] if you're email illiterate PM me from xda, but I prefer my email.

IF you still have problems with the dialer and all try changing all paranoid android settings to phone or phone stock, I MEAN ALL! And if that doesnt work:
, try downloading another dialer that isnt stock or Go
If you got it working then you can change the DPI settings around just im not sure which ones make the phone brink
Although I believe it is configure which you need to keep Phone(Stock) or tablet (stock)

Thanks I have fixed it now!
I ran into something with the market though a lot of apps aren't showing up. I have reasobto believe its from the density though hopefully can be fixed by tomorrow

I love the tablet UI! Rom booted up fine.
Edit: About phone in the settings causes it to crash.

Thanks, will give it a try.

I am looking into that, I personally am so angry about that. also did either of you two see if market seemed more empty then usual?

That would be nicer if you could put fm radio in the rom!

Yes, that's because the build.prop has this device as "One V", when it should be "HTC One V"

yeah. it is a known PA issue if it is ported on CM9. I've talked with one of the PA's builders, molesarecoming, and he said that if you take the latest PA files and put them onto a JB rom, the market issue will disappear.
If you want to not have market problems, take my pad.prop from the latest build. The status bar is stock but with much smaller dpi and I'm having a lot of apps forced into tablet mode from the start. That's how you will not have issues with the market. If you want to have the status bar down, like a tablet, you will have to: either modify the framework-res dpi when in that mode, or the systemUI, though the framework makes problems to the market.

Thanks, I'm working on it now!
Also If this is true, soon we will have 100% working PA because there is CM10 up and running, hopefully getting alot fixed by jmz I believe. maybe he will let me port PA with his CM10 as base once it is fixed..

your settings is crashing when you press the "About Phone?" can you send me your build.prop in a PM?
maybe i can help you with a fix.
featured on the news portal of xda

BTW I fixed the market using your pad.prop like you said. and now all thats left is that settings crash(hopefully fixed tomorrow) ,bluetooth(when CM9 fixes it), and light while charging(when CM9 fixes it).

The boot img is in the rom, just pull it right out and use the one in the zip, if that doesn't work let me know and I will see about posting it up there, but it should be that one if not I would need JMZ to port his boot.img back up from cm9 before I could, I cannot find it on my computer right now but it might be in one of the older files I have.
also try a wipe of Data, Cache, and system. to make sure that that is not the problem

Try checking your Superuser app, to see if you accidently denied it or if the Superuser app needs updating. If that does not work, try downloading another superuser app from the market and try doing what you were trying to do at the time, the problem occurred. If that does not work please try PMing me with as much info about it that you can, possibly a logcat while you attempt to do what you are trying to do. I will look into it from there.

Thanks ipromeh for your effort but you left out too much for my taste. Especially I don't understand the omission of the calendar. Also since this is a stock based rom, one of the advantages of it over any CM is the radio FM being built in. Why remove it? Is there anybody who would not want it?
Why the obsession on the size of the rom. We do have a reasonably sized system partition.
But anyway, it is your ROM and I respect your decisions. Thanks for your contribution to this forum and good luck on perfecting this ROM.

There's reason why I removed these 2 things. The stock calender app need calenderprovider.apk to get it work and the calenderprovider is running at background and it's quite eat ram. That's why i decided to recommended people to download the third party ''jorte calender''
For the FM Radio, yea there's some people who want to use it. But also there's people who dont want to use it too~ that's why i provided the FMRadio.apk

ipromeh said:

Ok thanks for ur quick respond.
Btw im having FCs for systemui.apk whenever i try to access to the task manager through recent apps or the recent apps button in notification drawer
And the bar in notification drawer is it for brightness adjustment? If it is for brightness than then its not working. Thanks anyway
And there are up to 235 free ram in clean install.. And i feel 'project butter' in ur rom

thx for this rom... is this rom support RTL Arabic language?

Thanks for your hard work again! I have been waiting for a gb rom since a long time and finally it's here. I do appreciate the work but why are you so obsessed of the rom size? Slim doesn't mean everything. For a daily user like me, basic feature and battery consumption is way more important compared to gaming performance. To achieve the slim size, you are taking away all those basic yet awesome feature. ( Screenshot is like a MUST-have feature I assumed?) After flashing the rom, the performance is good but all those feature that I missed so much (like swype!). Here's also a list of bug I experienced : Playstore is very laggy, stuttering crt animation (probably caused by vsync), and what about that lockscreen wallpaper?
I hope next time you can make it more user-friendly and suitable for daily usage. Hopefully it's between daily usage and gaming performance. This rom is only meant for those heavy gamers. Just my opinion, others may varies. Still, we appreciate your hardwork! :good:

people, pls read before you say something..it is slimmed, so no wonder why it is slim rom..
if you feel like some of the important stuffs were taken from you, which is a personal preference, then why not take time to garner those things and push them to your system?? i think its not that difficult, right?
think about the One Of A Kind Rom, it is so slim yet so famous!!! i've been using OOAK rom for months..

[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...

\Please accept my apologiez, I got caught up on the word "porting" that I didn't know this was base on T-mo's latest FW, so it should have Wi-Fi Calling, I would gladly test But I still dont quite understand this installation Method:
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.??
SS back up dir? Back Up SafeStrap?? ***blank/newly created or STOCK*** rom slot??
Again Please accept my apologie I didn't mean to disrespect your work...
Edit: I tried to restore by placing the unzip file from your download into the Phil'z Recovery folder and I got a MD5 mismatch error...

I'm excited about this, and the three other rom ports in your signature. But I'm also confused about how to install. Safestrap is totally new to me until this post. It may be a good thing to learn about, but for now I just like TWRP. If I'm reading right, it sounds like the TWRP installation method consists of downloading and unzipping a zip file that contains a nandroid backup which we are to restore in TWRP?

Not sure safestrap applies to us. It is for locked bootloaders. I don't think ours is locked. Not sure how to install these roms either.

sorry been offline working on somethings just figured out AFH messed up my last batch upload sorry guys. yes you install this via TWRP or philz (ive done both for my TMO friends). sorry I suppose just a .zip would work for you guys but this is the method now widely used by my followers...
just unzip the zip figure out where your TWRP bakup folder is and place my folder in it then restore. APN's I believe will automatically restore for tmo if not plz reflash your modem with apns attached or restore APN's however you please. I don't have the power to b in 4 places at once so if you have a question PM me or visit the verizon thread they will help you there too enjoy

Easier to flash than I thought. I will try all of them. Thanks

I couldn't find an option to disable MD5 check in Phil's, so I installed latest TWRP 2.6.3.1 and it starts to restores til it fails on system... I guess I'll just wait for a zip to pop to try this Rom...

this happens to me with all of his work.. and Support is almost none existent, Mods feel like he just posting this kinda of work everywhere just to collect donations, his threads are being close..
Jerdog:
"Not only is the OP an assault to my eyes and causing me to feel like I am on acid... but the OP can't support this (as is evidenced by his first few posts) and he's wasting everyone's time.
XDA doesn't look kindly on blind builders/kangers/modders/etc. who will post nonsense all over in an attempt to gain notoriety when they can't support something, all the while hoping people donate. And given the content in his OP, that's precisely what is going on here.
so closing this thread and others like it."

"Not only is the OP an assault to my eyes and causing me to feel like I am on acid... but the OP can't support this (as is evidenced by his first few posts) and he's wasting everyone's time.
XDA doesn't look kindly on blind builders/kangers/modders/etc. who will post nonsense all over in an attempt to gain notoriety when they can't support something, all the while hoping people donate. And given the content in his OP, that's precisely what is going on here.
so closing this thread and others like it."

[ROM][4.4.2 TW] Community Rom

Okay lets get this out of the way now. You need to post what release you are on when you report issues. There are many different releases and I cant/wont help you if you dont give me the information I need to help you.
FYI: I will not add native hotspot hack. There is a published mod on how to do it yourself. The reason why is below.
Sprint says if you want to tether then you must pay an additional fee for it. It is in your sprint contract if you want to look it up. Almost all mobile providers do this.
Read this which is what you agreeded to by getting service from Sprint.
https://manage.sprintpcs.com/output/en_US/manage/MyPhoneandPlan/ChangePlans/popLegalTermsPrivacy.htm
Now they may not file charges and just terminate your service. It is in there power and right to file legal charges if they want to.
For users with power off charging issue!
You will need to upgrade your bootloader to NE2 for the power off charging to work. This will also give you a tripped Knox counter in download mode and void your warranty but if you flashed this or any other rom that you have already voided you warranty.
Another simple OP for now.
What is Community Rom. Well it is my own personal project that will take any and all help from our L900 users. I have started with the stock NE2 rom and will slowly evolve it into a S5/N3 rom. It will have all kinds of fixes, mods, tweaks, and themes from anyone who want to help.
Where the rom is right now.
Well the first Alpha release is basic. Pure stock NE2 except for the S5 systemUI.apk and root. I even forgot to remove KNOX in the first alpha. The stock samsung kb is giving constant FC's. Just push through the setup and then change to swipe kb (preinstalled) or whichever keyboard you like (the LG Keyboards do not work).
Please use Philz 6.07.9 recovery...
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/l900
Flashing Instructions
1. Download rom and verify MD5sum
2. Place rom on phone (if not already)
3. Backup anything you need/want that is in your internal sdcard
3. Backup current rom
4. Factory reset/Format for new rom
5. Under mounts choose format /data /data/media (this is your internal sdcard)
6. Reboot into recovery
7. Flash rom and reboot
The first boot will take a long time so please wait. Also the phone will be a little sluggish for awhile (it has to setup itself).
If you have not taken the 4.3 or 4.4.2 OTA/ODIN and not flashed the wifi fix you will need to do so to be able to use wifi. This file must be flashed via Pc and Odin only. It will not work with mobile Odin.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358548565 -- this version is not compressed just flash it as is

I like when people are straight-forward and to the point. Sorry if anyone feels I don't have a sufficiently lackadaisical attitude. Since OP called it a "community ROM", I assumed that the community was free to provide feedback or help in development. Take note of key phrases like "Things that I think should be added" and "All in all, great ROM". Any discontentment was clearly directed towards Sprint & Samsung. I simply don't understand why they choose to include "features" without giving users the power to turn them off.
I personally don't use SFinder because it does a lot of background scanning when installed. Quick connect is nice but a whole lot slower than simply plugging in a USB. With that in mind, I've attached a flashable zip that should remove those extra buttons for those who don't want them and fixes the WiFi icon. It seems to work; let me know if anything is wonky.
Here's a couple screenshots:

Systemui.apk with modified (correct 4g icon)
tx_dbs_tx said:
As most of you already know the 4G icon in community 1.1 beta has a minor flaw which has the 4G icon overlapping the data flow arrows. So I fixed the 4G icon inside the SystemUI.apk and made a flashable zip for people who want to get the stock 4G icon back. I also changed the color of the up/down data flow arrows for easier viewing. They are green and orange like the old style icons. I used the Community 1.1 SystemUI so this is tested and good to go for this ROM. It will likely work on other similar ROMs but I can't be sure that it won't break anything so do so using your own judgement..

How to check MD5
Use Es file explorer find your file and long press it. Now you will see a check beside the file. Press the more option on bottom bar and choose properties. On the popup window press show check sum and check the box for md5. Then press calculate. This should match the MD5 listed in the OP under your versions download link.
I will post set by step pictures later.

Aroma File Manager
Okay guys here is the meat for your philz recovery. Unzip the this and place in your clockwork folder on your external sdcard. It will work on your internal but if you wipe internal (like you should every flash) you will lose it. Once you place it there boot into recovery and double tap a blank part of the screen.
There is one tiny issue with this. Every so often when changing directories it will kind of hang. Dont worry if you see this just touch the screen and it will work.
I will put this on android file host later.

Guess I would say this one. Only thing not working is samsung KB. If you can go without wifi or MMS then I would suggest S5-FEAT. I will be updating this tomorrow sometime hopefully. Giving it a quick once over with S5 apps and a few special things TBA.

Yes wifi works here. On both roms some users have reported a sim issue which I did get a couple of time. I then went to a different modem (ljc) and have yet to see it in the past 2 days.

Most likely the modem that works best for a person will depend on his/her area as well as coverage. You'll have to figure out on your own which modem works and performs best for you.

You think the n3 features will be a flashable zip too? Still on beta 2.3 and seems solid. Had a few hiccups today but a reboot fixed it.

Yeah, I was thinking of switching over to this rom then adding the n3 features.
Only issue I had was in contacts. Wasn't showing them, then closing out. After I rebooted I also wiped cache and all seemed OK. Will try to replicate it and pay more attention then post in the thread provided.

What Is Odex / Deodex
How to Odex Your Present Rom
Open Terminal Emulator
Type code : su
after Type Code: odex
Select options as you refer
After completion Just reboot and enjoy the Odex rom
What is an ODEX file?
In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.
What is an DEODEX file?
Deodexing is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files. By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.
So, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all their application packages put back together in one place, allowing for easy modification such as theming. Since no pieces of code are coming from any external location, custom ROMs or APKs are always deodexed to ensure integrity.
How this works?
For the majority noobs amongst us, Android OS uses a Java-based virtual machine called the Dalvik Virtual Machine. A deodexed or .dex file contains the cache used by this virtual machine (referred to as Dalvik-cache) for a program, and it is stored inside the APK. An .odex file, on the other hand, is an optimized version of this same .dex file that is stored next to the APK as opposed to inside it. Android applies this technique by default to all the system applications.
When an Android-based system is booting, the davlik cache for the Davlik VM is built using these .odex files, allowing the OS to learn in advance what applications will be loaded, and thus speeds up the booting process.
By deodexing these APKs, a developer actually puts the .odex files back inside their respective APK packages. Since all code is now contained within the APK itself, it becomes possible to modify any application package without conflicting with the operating system’s execution environment.
Advanteges & Disadvantages
The advantage of deodexing is in modification possibilities. This is most widely used in custom ROMs and themes. A developer building a custom ROM would almost always choose to deodex the ROM package first, since that would not only allow him to modify various APKs, but also leave room for post-install theming.
On the other hand, since the .odex files were supposed to quickly build the dalvik cache, removing them would mean longer initial boot times. However, this is true only for the first ever boot after deodexing, since the cache would still get built over time as applications are used. Longer boot times may only be seen again if the dalvik cache is wiped for some reason.

That really sounds great buddy
that really help :good:
Edit:
Upload [5th time] started and i am going to sleep hope it will be successful

Most awaited rom on Z1 section I think. Your rom is best of kitkat roms. Lollipop is to messy at this moment so your rom is most attractive to Z1 flashing community. I hope this update will be great! I have two
questions to you Venkant Kamesh. Maybe I'm blind but if you are using in this rom DRM Keys function restoration? And is you're using back led power extension mod?
