Oh, I thought Development setting is different from Developer options :)
So enabled the spoofing, Google account is syncing fine, but the Play store doesn't work, wiped the data of play store and google services, but still not working. All google dependant aplications are working (Keep, Viber etc).
Also I changed the menu key to MENU, because its Recents by default. I did that to access menu i certain Setting options.
For example you need that to remove an account when you go to Settings/Accounts and enter any account. But when Menu is pressed is says: Unfortunately Settings has stopped.

You are right! Developer options is correct name :) thanks. Faq will be changed.

Besides spoofing, have also enabled device syncing and google clouds messaging in microG settings?
Play store needs them both to work.


Regarding the Settings FC .yes it is a known bug :(
As a temporary solution, com.android.settings.b.overlay can be uninstalled from layer manager...

Download was very fast 4-5 MB/sec.
Flashed the ROM dirty over Imperium 17, wiped dalvik and cache, did not wipe data. No problems or errors.
PK2 bootloader and modem, WiFi is working.
Just can't find Development settings, to turn signature spoofing on.
Instructions say: Open «Developement settings» - the central icon on desktop (cog wheel). Don't see any of that, therefore Play store not working.
ROM is very responsive, smooth, like it because of the dark enviroment. So how can I turn the spoofing ON?

Play store is working now, actually there was an error connecting to servers, but now its gone :)
I confirm the ROM is working with PK2 bootloader and modem (incl. WiFi).
I switched to PK2 stock kernel, as Machinex was eating battery (a checked with GSAM it was the kernel), may be it needed to settle or reboot but anyway I prefer stock kernels
Accessing settings via notification panel doesn't seem to work, when pressed nothing happens, valid also for expanding quick buttons. Thank you!

Thanks for your valuable report!
Actually notification buttons, including expanding ones work correctly here.
You result may be caused by previous settings from Imperium 17.
I don't guarantee correct work of this ROM with dirty flashing.

Also, if you switch to stock kernel, don't forget to falsh machinex kernel first!

Yes I know dirty flashing is risky, and probably I will do a clean flash. Thanks! ROM is great, of course is in development and bugs happen. I'm sure you will fix most of them :)

    MachineX ROM​
    Only for S4 Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 600 processor​
    Based on the latest I9505XXUPQG1 from Samsung​


    “If you respect your time as we do, come with us for something fast and lightweight.
    We even do it without losing stock TW ROMs functionality, enhancing it in a way!”:)
    ​
    Code: 
    ***MachineX ROM was tested many times by me and beta testers before this release.
But I hold no responsibility for the thermonuclear war, failed alarm sounds on your phone or any of your files lost. 
The decision to make mods to your for is made by YOU, not me.

    Introduction
    I thought it might be good to demonstrate my concept, which is:

    • Odexed custom ROM (maybe the first LP TW ROM of this kind)
    • Embedded signature spoofing (switchable)
    • Embedded microG instead of gapps (with Contacts/Calendar sync)
    • Native overlays with layer manager app and pre-installed black theme
    • Custom theming for Black UI lovers and custom boot animation
    • Some hacked binaries (libsurfaceflinger.so), busybox and scripts pre-installed
    • The needed system apps updated and S6, N5 apps included
    • And finally it comes with machinex kernel from @Robcore pre-installed

    Features
    This is quite an unusual ROM. Please don’t expect from this ROM:
    • Ported MM Samsung frameworks (there are other superb ROMs with this feature)
    • A ton of UI customization and S7, N7, S8, N8 – like eye-candy by default
    What you SHOULD expect from this ROM:
    • Odexed custom LP TW ROM – pre-optimized for speed + max. storage space.
    • Original black theme enabled by default, switchable by Layer Manager app.
    • Debloated fully: if you need some app, you can install it from Play Market
    • No Gapps, only microG (it’s enough for the most of the users, we think)
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Installation instructions
    1. Check your bootloader and modem version. I9505XXUPQK1 is recommended (links below).
    2. Flash ROM in recovery. SupeSU/magisk, busybox and machinex kernel will be installed automatically.
      I don't guarantee correct work of this ROM with dirty flashing.
    3. The CSC (regional) files will be also installed automatically according to your phone current CSC code.
    4. Reboot device. First boot usually takes less than one minute.
    5. (OPTIONAL) Open «Developement settings» (you can enable them in Settings- About device- tap 7 times on the ROM version).
    6. (OPTIONAL) Under «Developement settings», scroll to the very bottom, «signature spoofing» should be enabled.
    7. (OPTIONAL) (microG only)In MigroG settings, Device Registration and "Google Cloud Messaging" should be enabled
      (this can be switched off after Google Account setup, if required)
    8. Setup Google account normally. In some cases, wiping data of Play Store may be needed after Google Account was set.
    9. (OPTIONAL) Enable UnifieldNlp (Network Location providers) in GPS settings. (microG only)
    10. If you decide to switch to stock kernel, don't forget to flash https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224412313
      (Now the stock kernel installer also contains machinex kernel uninstaller)

    MachineX ROM Mark 4.3 (Feb 2018) - 4th public release version

    - Updated ROM base to the latest I9505XXUHQK1 base (Samsung Nov 2017 build) with all previous tweaks
    - Updated some colors, icons, animations and layouts in framework-res.apk (Thanks to Lenny Bard)
    - Updated icons in AccuWeather widget (Thanks to Lenny Bard)
    - Updated Google Play Store to the version 9.0.15-all [0] [PR] 186388994
    - Updated Google Play services to version 12.2.17 (238-186052348)
    - Updated WebViewGoogle to the latest version 64.0.3282.137
    - Updated Samsung Internet Browser to version 7.0.10.46
    - Updated Samsung Music app to version 16.2.08.22
    - Updated AdGuard Content Blocker to version 2.1.2
    - Improved visibility of text and icons in status bar (without transparency)
    - Disabled Samsung Battery Power Sharing service and wakelocks in the framework
    - Disabled Samsung Dynamic Frequency manager service (DVFS) and wakelocks in the framework
    - Disabled Samsung checks in TIMA (force com.android.server.TimaService.checkEvent to return null)
    - Disabled Compare Signatures method in services.jar
    - Added SysScope.apk (hacked) - always returning official status
    - Fixed SGUSBMassStorageEnabler (again) ExtSdCard export ability ("/dev/block/vold/179:33")
    - Addons: Updated microG Services Core to version 0.2.4-108
    - Rebuilt the ART cache for the whole ROM (reodexed) because of changes in framework
    - Optimized internal reodexing process and scripts
    - Added my own MachineX ROM control app (Work in Progress)
    - Removed init.d scripts; the system will now be able to create ART cache by its own, always!
    - Updated Magisk to v16.0
    =======================

    Also, I switched to "devbase" installation system by _alexndr (thanks!!!)

    The resulting zip package is larger, but installation is more straightforward and "will read your mind"
    (meaning, it will backup your current CSC package and restore it after flashing /system)

    This way you can switch from other ROM without flashing any extra CSC files.
