    You can choose now tweaks you want to install!
    Tweaks list:
  • EXT4 Tweaks:
    This mod will turn ON data_writeback for all 3 partitions - system, data and cache. This will drastically improve I/O performance (mostly on write operations) at the expense of file system integrity in certain situations, like unexpected system shutdown. The risk is not extreme, but still bigger then regular. Use this to improve your system performance, but you flash it at your own risk!
    - thx to mike1983.
  • GPU Rendering:
    This mod is working similar to "Render GUI with GPU" option in Development Settings. Flashing this will force whole system to use GPU rendering (instead of CPU) for all kind of 2D/3D operations. This might improve 2D operations performance, but keep in mind that some apps are not working correctly with GPU rendering. After using this mod you no longer need to tick "Render GUI with GPU" in settings. Even if un-ticked it will be still working. Flash it at your own risk!

    Installation video by savadam:



Bugs
  1. After First Setup, Hands-Free Mod turns on, you can just turn it off from settings or from Status bar not a big deal(it is only 1 time thing, it doesn't come back after reboot)
  2. After First Setup, Regular Power Saving Mod turns on, although you won't see it is on. In order to disable it go into Power Saving Mod Option(Not Ultra!), Turn it on, go into Restrict Performance and turn it off. That's it.(it is only 1 time thing, it doesn't come back after reboot)

    No big deal bugs.

Q: I am getting assert failed when I am trying to flash the rom. What should I do?
A: I have put a security command to check the models of your phone, because we have several versions for our device, and some people might flash on the wrong model.
This command makes sure you are using the right model.
If you have the right model and you still get that, you have to use PhilZ recovery:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
After you flash the recovery, flash the rom agian and it will work.
Good luck!

Q: What is the ODEX script? How do I use it?
A: When you use stock rom, you have an ODEXED system, and when you use custome rom you have a DEXODEX system.
ODEXED system has many benefits and has disadvantage.
The benefits are:
- Faster & High performance for the rom
- Faster boot
- Slimer system files.

The disadvantage:
After activating the script, you won't be able to flash any mod, theme or something else that was created for DEODEXED system.
Which means, you are limited.
Once you activate the script, there is no turning back, if you don't like it you have to reflash the rom.

In order to make your life easier, you will be able to use all aroma mods during installation. The script will work at the end of the installation to make sure all your system is ODEXED and there won't be any bug.
You don't have to install it during installation.
I will provide in PhoeniX Kitchen a download for this script that fits to PhoeniX ROMs.
So, if you want install themes or mods after the installation of the rom. You are able to do that!
If you want to install themes/mods after the installation make these steps:
1. Don't tick the ODEX script.
2. Run your ROM
3. Reboot to recovery, flash your mods/themes.
4. If you are happy with your curernt mods and themes, reboot to recovery and flash the odex script. Wait till it finishes! It might take up to 15 minutes!
5. Reboot & Enjoy

If you are happy with your aroma choices, and want to stay like this, tick the script.

If you don't want ODEXED and want to stay DEODEXED don't install the script :)

Pay attention!
The installation of the script might take up to 15 minutes! Be patient and don't pull out the battery, it will break your system! It odexes each file in system, so be patient.

In order to install the script, you must use CWM based reocvery(PhilZ)! If you install with TWRP recovery, you will get an endless bootloop.

Q: I have PullUp App when i click the Home Button, how to disappear it?
A:
In Note 3 touchwiz, the default app is My Magazine.
I have put PullUp app in order to give you to pull up any app you want.
But now if you want to disable it when you click Home Button and stay only with Swiping up do the following:
1. Go into Settings -> PhoeniX Extra -> Pull Up App Chooser
2. Select My Magazine.
3. Now go back to touchwiz home and swipe it up.
4. Go into My Magazines Settings
5. Remove the V from "Open using the home key"
6. Go back to Settings -> PhoeniX Extra -> Pull Up App Chooser
7. Select your App(Or stay with my magazines)
8. Done.

Special thanks for this solution to pedelt

ExtSd2InternalSd v6 universal by mattiadj

The Problem:
Well, when i have some free time i install my rom and restore my apps, but i have only one problem. I have like 4-5 Gameloft games and i am out of memory. Each game needs 2-2.5GB from the internal memory, and then i don't have any space left :\.
This is the script:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1772234
I have SanDisk 64GB ultra mobile class 10(around 30 m/s) and this is the result:
screenshot2013011119391.png


"I want this too! How do i get it?"
First, you need to make sure you have high speed SD card(class 10 is highly recommended!).
Second, you have done these steps:
  1. Backup everything - External SD and Internal sd.
  2. Format your SD card to Fat32 or Exfat(Format is needed to prevent FC and lags) :
    64GB exfat is recommended
    16-32GB fat32 is recommended
  3. After you have formated your SD, copy into it these files:
    Phoenix Rom
    SuperWipe by mike
    titanium backup folder(if you have backuped apps, not system data!)

"Ok, I have done eberything, how do I install it?"
It is very simple.
  1. Make sure you have done all above
  2. Go into your recovery and flash Super Wipe by mike - it will delete all your internal memory.
  3. Wait till the recovery finish the restart after the script.
  4. Flash Phoenix Rom
  5. Choose in aroma: Yes, install the script
  6. Wait till the aroma finishes to install the rom
  7. Reboot
  8. Enjoy


Notes:
  • If you want to access to your INTERNAL SD you have to go with astro or ES filemangaer or what do you wanto to /mnt/extSdCard
  • If you want to see how much space do you have simply go in memory info in settings and check but warning: the situation is inverted! The INTERNAL SD is seen as EXTERNAL and viceversa! This situation is present also when you attach phone to pc.

      You can choose now tweaks you want to install!
      Tweaks list:
    • EXT4 Tweaks:
      This mod will turn ON data_writeback for all 3 partitions - system, data and cache. This will drastically improve I/O performance (mostly on write operations) at the expense of file system integrity in certain situations, like unexpected system shutdown. The risk is not extreme, but still bigger then regular. Use this to improve your system performance, but you flash it at your own risk!
      - thx to mike1983.
    • GPU Rendering:
      This mod is working similar to "Render GUI with GPU" option in Development Settings. Flashing this will force whole system to use GPU rendering (instead of CPU) for all kind of 2D/3D operations. This might improve 2D operations performance, but keep in mind that some apps are not working correctly with GPU rendering. After using this mod you no longer need to tick "Render GUI with GPU" in settings. Even if un-ticked it will be still working. Flash it at your own risk!

    Bugs
    1. After First Setup, Hands-Free Mod turns on, you can just turn it off from settings or from Status bar not a big deal(it is only 1 time thing, it doesn't come back after reboot)
    2. After First Setup, Regular Power Saving Mod turns on, although you won't see it is on. In order to disable it go into Power Saving Mod Option(Not Ultra!), Turn it on, go into Restrict Performance and turn it off. That's it.(it is only 1 time thing, it doesn't come back after reboot)

      No big deal bugs.

    Q: I am getting assert failed when I am trying to flash the rom. What should I do?
    A: I have put a security command to check the models of your phone, because we have several versions for our device, and some people might flash on the wrong model.
    This command makes sure you are using the right model.
    If you have the right model and you still get that, you have to use PhilZ recovery:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
    After you flash the recovery, flash the rom agian and it will work.
    Good luck!

    Q: What is the ODEX script? How do I use it?
    A: When you use stock rom, you have an ODEXED system, and when you use custome rom you have a DEXODEX system.
    ODEXED system has many benefits and has disadvantage.
    The benefits are:
    - Faster & High performance for the rom
    - Faster boot
    - Slimer system files.

    The disadvantage:
    After activating the script, you won't be able to flash any mod, theme or something else that was created for DEODEXED system.
    Which means, you are limited.
    Once you activate the script, there is no turning back, if you don't like it you have to reflash the rom.

    In order to make your life easier, you will be able to use all aroma mods during installation. The script will work at the end of the installation to make sure all your system is ODEXED and there won't be any bug.
    You don't have to install it during installation.
    I will provide in PhoeniX Kitchen a download for this script that fits to PhoeniX ROMs.
    So, if you want install themes or mods after the installation of the rom. You are able to do that!
    If you want to install themes/mods after the installation make these steps:
    1. Don't tick the ODEX script.
    2. Run your ROM
    3. Reboot to recovery, flash your mods/themes.
    4. If you are happy with your curernt mods and themes, reboot to recovery and flash the odex script. Wait till it finishes! It might take up to 15 minutes!
    5. Reboot & Enjoy

    If you are happy with your aroma choices, and want to stay like this, tick the script.

    If you don't want ODEXED and want to stay DEODEXED don't install the script :)

    Pay attention!
    The installation of the script might take up to 15 minutes! Be patient and don't pull out the battery, it will break your system! It odexes each file in system, so be patient.

    In order to install the script, you must use CWM based reocvery(PhilZ)! If you install with TWRP recovery, you will get an endless bootloop.

    Q: I have PullUp App when i click the Home Button, how to disappear it?
    A:
    In Note 3 touchwiz, the default app is My Magazine.
    I have put PullUp app in order to give you to pull up any app you want.
    But now if you want to disable it when you click Home Button and stay only with Swiping up do the following:
    1. Go into Settings -> PhoeniX Extra -> Pull Up App Chooser
    2. Select My Magazine.
    3. Now go back to touchwiz home and swipe it up.
    4. Go into My Magazines Settings
    5. Remove the V from "Open using the home key"
    6. Go back to Settings -> PhoeniX Extra -> Pull Up App Chooser
    7. Select your App(Or stay with my magazines)
    8. Done.

    Special thanks for this solution to pedelt

    ExtSd2InternalSd v6 universal by mattiadj

    The Problem:
    Well, when i have some free time i install my rom and restore my apps, but i have only one problem. I have like 4-5 Gameloft games and i am out of memory. Each game needs 2-2.5GB from the internal memory, and then i don't have any space left :\.
    This is the script:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1772234
    I have SanDisk 64GB ultra mobile class 10(around 30 m/s) and this is the result:

    "I want this too! How do i get it?"
    First, you need to make sure you have high speed SD card(class 10 is highly recommended!).
    Second, you have done these steps:
    1. Backup everything - External SD and Internal sd.
    2. Format your SD card to Fat32 or Exfat(Format is needed to prevent FC and lags) :
      64GB exfat is recommended
      16-32GB fat32 is recommended
    3. After you have formated your SD, copy into it these files:
      Phoenix Rom
      SuperWipe by mike
      titanium backup folder(if you have backuped apps, not system data!)

    "Ok, I have done eberything, how do I install it?"
    It is very simple.
    1. Make sure you have done all above
    2. Go into your recovery and flash Super Wipe by mike - it will delete all your internal memory.
    3. Wait till the recovery finish the restart after the script.
    4. Flash Phoenix Rom
    5. Choose in aroma: Yes, install the script
    6. Wait till the aroma finishes to install the rom
    7. Reboot
    8. Enjoy


    Notes:
    • If you want to access to your INTERNAL SD you have to go with astro or ES filemangaer or what do you wanto to /mnt/extSdCard
    • If you want to see how much space do you have simply go in memory info in settings and check but warning: the situation is inverted! The INTERNAL SD is seen as EXTERNAL and viceversa! This situation is present also when you attach phone to pc.

    First & Best ROM with SELinux Disabled Kernel, Most of Note 3 features, and alot of goodies is coming tomorrow!

    But before that there are some things you must know before you flash.

    I DON'T ANSWER TO ANY QUESTION IF YOU DONT BOTHER TO READ THIS FIRST!

    so...

    PAY ATTENTION!!!

    let's begin with the base bugs:
    1. None


    Installation Instructions for v15+15.7:

    1. DO SUPER WIPE!- Changing from 4.1.2 to 4.3 will change the location of your internal sd, that is why you must to super wipe, to clean your internal sd. backup first.
    2. Flash v15. Choose your mods, etc.
    3. Don't reboot, Flash V15.7 right away
    4. Reboot.
      If you have WIFI skip this step:
    5. How to fix wifi:
      1. Download and Install PhoeniX ROM V15 - .....+ watever instruction needs
      2.. Who already having MJ5 bootloader, can start using ROM without further action.

      3A. Who are on older bootloader(No warranty Bit in download mode) and dont want to update bootloader Reboot device after flashing ROM, there will be No wifi
      Download this Dr.Ketan's Wifi patch. and extract it.

      • Open Odin from PC, Press PDA tab and select downloaded wifi patch
      • Put device in download mode (Vol dwn + home +power)
      • Connect device and Flash
      Reboot device, Now wifi should work.

      3B. Who are on older bootloader and want to Flash New bootloader, skip 3A and Download this BL_MJ5_DN3 bootloader and extract
      • Open Odin from PC, Press PDA tab and select downloaded MJ5 Bootloader
      • Put device in download mode (Vol dwn + home +power)
      • Connect device and Flash
      Reboot device

      If you don't want this ROM, want to go back and downgrade, do this(Be careful!! This is only for MJ5 Bootloader!!) :
      N7100XXUEMJ5 How to Root + Remove New Bootloader + KNOX Free
      1.First Flash Complete ROM N7100XXUEMJ5 from sammobile posted here
      Now your device will have KNox enabled bootloader.

      2.Download MJ5BLPatch.tar.md5 and Flash with Odin for PDA Tab.

      3.Reboot device, You won't have wifi working.

      4.Download wifi patch and flash with Odin for PDA tab.

      5.Reboot device and you will have old Knox free bootloader with Wifi working.

      6.Flash CWM Recovery

      7.To root device Use my MultiTool. You have to download MultiTool advanced V5 for 4.3 from this post I am uploading right now.
      Once you root with this tool, It also remove KNOX apps from device.

      8.Don't open SuperSU but straight way go to play store and update SuperSU

      9.Now everything should be fine.


      And that's it.

    Several important notes:
    • The rom comes with a market shortcut to TB Restore fix by @-viperboy- . If you have problems with your restore use this. (The problems are only when you have Enforcing SELinux)
    • Aroma includes the new EXT2InternalSD script. There are some changes that you must understand:
      First of, thank you @mattiadj for awesome script.
      You won't see in settings now Device Storage for example 64 GB, you will see 16GB and under SD card category you will see your SD card storage.
      So, how can I check that the script works?
      With a file explorer with root ability go into /sdcard. Check If in this location you can see your files of your EXTERNAL SD card and check if you can see in /sdcard/internal_sd/0 the content of INTERNAL sd.

      After every reboot, give the system 2 minutes to be stable, then the script will start work.

      In the folder storage/extSdCard/ you will see nothing.

      When connecting the Phone to PC, you can access your EXT SD card in Phone, and to your internal SD card: Phone/internal_sd/0
    • This is important. 4.3 Android system got a better "butter project" and it is hell smooth. In my installation I didn't choose even one tweak. There is no need. There are several tweaks that already inside the rom. But if you really want to flash more tweaks, be careful because it might make your system slow.
    • V15 comes with good Xposed modules built in, such as Nottach and Wanam Xposed. Please use only one of them( Wanam or Nottach) because if you use both, one won't work and maybe get you in bootloop. Don't say I didn't told you that.
      All xposed modules are system apps, please don't think you know better than me what I am doing, so if you are planing to comment like "Why are you putting it system app, put it on data" believe me I have my reasons.
    • Use V15 wisely. I mean, when selecting Apps/tweaks, don't try to "test" the rom. becuase choosing all option will give you endless bootanimation.
    • ODEX script is not the best in MI6/MJ5. If you choose all apps for example and select odex too, you will get endless bootanimation with alot of vibration(what can I do... base problem). I am using odexed system with my selected apps with no problem. Don't select all apps, choose only what you need and you will get amazing machine. I will release my installation after the changelog.
    • Do not use Settings -> Display-> Battery , because it won't work well(it will be disappeared after several hours). Use PhoeniX Extra -> Battery Chooser.
      You will have there alot of good batteries to choose. You can access this app by clicking 3-4 times on the battery icon.
    • 240DPI Mod is back!!! In order to FIX 240DPI Mod bugs follow my tutorial:
      1. Open Settings -> PhoeniX Extra -> Xposed Installer And click Install + Give it SU Permission
      2. In Xposed Installer, go to Modules(it is in the Xposed Installer app, right side up) and select/active Xposed APP Settings.
      3. Exit Xposed Installer and open Settings -> PhoeniX Extra -> Xposed App Settings.
      4. In the app, search for: TouchWiz Home.

      a. Active it and select the following details:
      - DPI: 320
      - Screen: default
      b. Click Save

      5. In the app, search for: Camera.
      a. Active it and select the following details:

    You must read it and understand before flashing V15
    If you don't use the new bootloader(MK4), you will be able to downgrade to v13/V15 without problems.
