Hello, I'm running an AOSP 6.0.1 ROM on my Tab S 10.5 but encountering many incompatibilities and would like to go back to stock Lollipop (I jumped from KitKat the last time).
I read about deodexed ROM and stuff like that I don't even know the meaning of, in regards to being able to install xposed framework. My question is, is there a way by now to normally flash xposed on the ROM without other shenanigans? Like for example when I was on KitKat i simply flashed the zip and installed the installer apk and that was it.
Thanks.

This seems like a question I should be able to find an answer to myself, but I have searched all throughout the N7100 forum and can't seem to find my answer.
I have the Galaxy Note II International Version (GT-N7100). I rooted it with the Samsung Galaxy Note2 Toolkit
When I rooted, I had version 4.1.1 of android. It didn't get any OTA updates since it was rooted. I would like version 4.1.2 so I can run the Samsung Multi WIndow Manager so that I can use any app in the MultiWIndow mode.
What's the best way to do this? I tried flashing a stock rom, but I got stuck when I was required to download a stock ROM. I'm in the United States, but I don't see any region with United States so I don't know which I should get.
Sooo... Is this the proper way to update the Samsung rom if I had it rooted? Is there a better way?
What rom is best to use? Which region do I need for the U.S.? I mainly want to use the multi-window support and my understanding is that I must use a Samsung rom for that. I believe that was true when I first researched it. Is it still true today?
Thanks!
Maybe I'm being dense but did you also unlock your phone and install a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP?)
If so, you should be able to download a rom for your phone, install and enjoy the fruits of your labors. Look for roms that are based on TouchWiz and you should retain the samsung features you want. AOSP roms are base android and will not have those samsung customizations.
I don't know what "region" has to do with it though, just pick a rom that's compatible with N-7100

Thanks for the response, TrojanDroid. If region doesn't matter and I can install any TouchWiz based rom then that makes me very happy. I've used mods on other phones in the past and never had to worry about region.
Yes, I used the toolkit to install TWRP, Busybox, and Root the phone. The reason I asked about region is because I figured the easiest way to upgrade to 4.1.2 or higher would be to flash the newer stock rom. This is the webpage with an extremely large list of stock roms that the tool left me with though, which is where my question came from: http samsung-updates .com /device/ ?id=GT-N7100 (I can't post links yet)
I use the Samsung Multi Window and S-Pen features often. Is it accurate to say that as long as a rom is TouchWiz based, I will still be able to fully take advantage of those features?
You should update to any latest rom, bcoz 4.1.1 having sudden death bug and your device can be brick suddenly without a reason.
Anyway 4.1.2 stock rom itself having Multiwindow but to use any application in Multiwindow you will need to have moved version.
You can achieve it with xposed module (is simply needs rooted device +two simple apk to install)
Now what I recommend
1.You already have rooted device with cwm then make efs backup (can use Multitool from my signature for that)
2 . update latest rom (like mg1 is good in my point of view) with odin.
3.again you can use Multitool to root device.
4 . find xposed module and framework for Multiwindow mod to use any application in mw
OR
Find AnyMod from my signature and enjoy many extra features on your stock rom.
Goodluck

Thanks for the input. I have now successfully installed Thunder Lite and it seems to fit my requirements. I may investigate and play around with a few other roms in the future as well, since now I know that any Samsung based rom should work for me.
Thanks!

I am running 5.0.1 I am rooted. I would like to get xposed up and running but can't seem to to get it going I have the app installed but when I open it it says I need to install framework but I'm unable to I have this message. Any help will greatly appreciated.
Xposed doesn't work with Android lollipop and touch wiz.
You must wait...it will be a while on xposed working, so go without it, you will be ok. Xposed not working on lollipop TouchWiz roms.
If you need xposed, I think may work on a CM based ROM... but it will bootloop tw lollipop..
Guys, I am struggling to find a way to upgrade my T705 to Lollipop. This is my main phone, so I need a working radio and Xposed.
It seems that the options are either stock, and no Xposed, or various deodexed ROMS that are compatible with Xposed, but no fully working radio/calls.
Am I missing anything? What would you suggest?
There are at least two deodexed T705 LP ROMs with working radio (as they are based on T705 stock roms) that are supporting Xposed:
- Iron ROM V2.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/stock-tw-rom-galaxy-tab-s-8-4-t2995235
- SweetROM V1 T705: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61227464&postcount=172
Both ROMs require rooted stock LP fimware running on the tab before flashing. SweetROM is not coming with an own modem binary, so the orignal stock rom modem should be still active after flashing.
Best, maris

Hi,
Try to change the CSC to for example to BTU, then upgrade to Lollipop. It works on my Tab S. I say about stock.
I did it, because I still wait on the official firmware from S.
ODIN helps. Of course, you have to root your Tab again.
Benefits: you don't loose anything due the upgrade from KK to LP.
Xposed - not tested yet . Honestly, I don't need it. I leave without it after my hardware upgrade from SG4 to SG5, then SG6 . Believe me, you have lot of alternative stuff to survive without Xposed.
Good luck...
As I said, I need Xposed. Unfortunately, both deodexed ROMS have flaws (one is battery life). So, I guess we are back to square one...
Maybe someone here can help to deodex the stock LL ROM myself?
I also wondering the same, how to deodex the stock LL ROM so I can use Xposed. Not installing custom ROM...

same process (has worked on other LL roms and devices for me..in particular the tools to extract, deodex and then create flashable zip just for the system files which deletes the original ones and writes the deodexed ones into system app, priv app and framework folders)
in your case you can just get the system files from the zip rom as I needed to get them from the tar image (no zip roms yet for the s2)
had the s1 (or tab s as they may call it the 705) and also tab pro t325 before but quit those before LL came aboard on stock)

You still need to be deodexed, so best idea is to flash Iron Rom V 2.5 which is mostly stock 5.0.2.
Hi all.
I need a lollipop custom ROM that does not install SuperSU during the installation.
It needs to be CM/AOSP based.
I have major issues installing custom ROMs at the moment and I need to test a custom ROM without SuperSU.
Looking forward to your suggestions..
TIA.
