Rom Features base installation:

  [*]AirCommand possibility (Thanks to for most of the work jazzespresso)
  [*]Terminal command to enable/disable Aircommand
  [*]3Minit Battery Mod @ gharrington.
  [*]3Minit Quicklaunch Panel @ gharrington.
  [*]Extra menu settings
  [*]3-way reboot
  [*]Framwork rework for the S-Pen text icon calibration
  [*]CSC hidden features enabled: Browser version info / Camera shutter sound / System Update removed / Keyboardsymbols/.......
  [*]ExternalSD Read/Write fixed
  [*]Libfiles and apps updated
  [*]KNOX removed
  [*]CivZ SphereKat kernel allowing this to run on JB bootloader.
  [*]Root SuperSU 2.0
  [*]Busybox 1.22.1
  [*]Init.d support (enable with universal init.d app) or install the insecure kernel = This will enable also the zipalign at boot script.
  [*]ViperFXSound = for updates follow this thread
  [*]Custom bootanimation support
  [*]Synapse support - preview
  
  
  
  [*]...
  
  With the Xposed modules you can change the layout like battery, network speed indicator
  

Aircommand terminal command and tips:
Remember when installing the Aircommand that you will disable some features of your note.
Like some quick command options and Spen gestures.
Why this option:
That is the reason why I build in a command that makes it possible to disable Aircommand or enable it, this way you don't need to reinstall the rom to get rid of Aircommand, with this command you only need to reboot your tablet to enable/disable it.
When you disable the Aircommand all normal features of the Note8.0 will work again. So it is up to you to decide what you want.

Open terminal emulator
su (enter) airoff (enter)
su (enter) airon (enter)

Tip to pop up the Aircommand :
Go to Xblasted modules - Statusbar - Gestures and select a gesture to pop-up the Aircommand trigger app.
I did long press in statusbar. Now you can open the Aircommand in any app by long presing the statusbar area

If you are looking for the Spen window manager only (no aircommand) support I suggest you install this app (best but you need to pay for it) or this , it can only makes pen window short cuts. where the paid app allows much more options .
With one of these apps you don't need Aircommand to have the pen windows.

Don't use Chrome use Chrome Beta.

​

Installation:
First time you install KitKat rom follow the instructions. After that there is no way back to JellyBean BOOTLOADER and your warranty is void as the KNOX is tripped in bootloader. You can still install JellyBean Rom compaired with JB kernel on the new bootloader Kitkat bootloader not needed with new included kernel

1. Download the rom from this thread for your device and place it on your Note8.0
2. Install the latest PhilzTouch recovery for your device (I'm running philz_touch_6.41.6-n5110).
3. Full WIPE if you install this rom for the first time.
4. Install the rom and reboot
   
   If you have ROOT problems go to the recovery and RE-ROOT with the PhilZ recovery option.

Enjoy
​

Planning on using this rom as a base for yours , no problem all I ask is give proper credits​

Un-check reboot in Odin.
And reboot the tablet in recovery and then flash the rom.

all went fine, except I can't able to get install advance arama option (root, exposed) using aramo option.
I rebooted back recovery after I went thru initial setup settings..etc..all good stuff, once I was on recovery, i start arama again, and select advance option, went thru all screen and clicked finish....tablet reboots, and I checked there's no xposed app, nor SuperSu..nothing...
tried again, still the same result..

not sure what I am doing wrong
