EXTREME SYNDICATE LOLLIPOP STYLE!

WARNING
This ROM is not for the faint of heart. It is extremely debloated! I do not accept requests to add stuff back into the ROM. However, please post in here or the Q&A thread for this ROM and I am sure there are some experienced devs that could help you with your needs!

- Remove V4A until I can figure out the issue with playback
- Fix battery drain (Me and a few others are having this issue)
- Incorporate toggles so you don't have to flash an additional .zip
- Remove Fly-On MOD (I havent noticed a difference and this one or other MODS can be manually installed via flashing zip in recovery if you want)

- Move dalvik to cache
- Dalvik VM optimization

v1.4 was not released



v1.3 Changelog 7/16/2014!

- Debloated more.. Its now only 475mb!!!
- Settings FC on Reboot is Fixed!
- Added Now Browser (Less than 200kb in size)
- Added Download Booster back
- Added Call Recording MOD
- Added 4-Way Reboot MOD
- Added Download Booster, Flashlight & Hotspot Toggles.zip (Flash after first boot for now)
- Added Exchange MOD (For you Syn Ack lol)

v1.2 7/13/2014 ~509mb
-Remove Download Booster to make native hotspot work again. (You can follow the steps to make download booster work in that thread.)
-Remove more bloat!
-Change ro.build.version.codename=L to ro.build.version.codename=REL in build.prop to fix some compatibility issues with some apk's. Also, there wasn't much of a difference at all in appearance.
-Add "Now Browser" with Material Look. This browser can be downloaded from the Play Store as well. The reason is because it is less than 200kb in size and works wonders!
-Add Adobe Flash Player (to make flash videos work in browser.)
-Add Adaway (to remove pesky ads from websites and apk's.)
-Add Fly-On Mod/Tweaks into ROM. (I have tested on my device for a day now and it really does help!) Will be added once I get permission from the creator of the MOD.
-Mod includes the following:
~Full Memory Management
~Linux kernel tweaks and improvements for better performance and battery life
~Entropy Generator Engine to reduce lags
~Zipalign apps in /system and /data every 48hrs to help reduce RAM usage
~SQLite optimizations and faster database access
~CPU Governors tweaks and improvements for better performance and battery life
~Increased SD Card read-ahead cache to 2048
~Ad Blocking (paired with Adaway)
~Build.prop tweaks and improvements
~Cleans log files and tombstones on every boot
~Many other tweaks for better performance and battery life!
-Possible am going to replace the Android L launcher with a themed Nova Launcher (is lighter than Android L launcher and more themed with more options overall.)



v1.1: 7/5/2014
-Added download booster (need to flash Slym Hydes db toggle AFTER first boot or follow instruction from original MOD post to turn it on with a shortcut)
-Added Viper4Android (Open app after install, install driver then reboot and enjoy better audio!)
-Removed some more bloat!



v1.0:
Initial Release



To Do List:

-Possibly some more debloating (I know there are some Lib files I can remove)
-Theme (WIP, I just barely had time to dive in to it after making v1.2 of the ROM but so far just have all the tools necessary and need to find time outside of work to start diving in)
Wierd issue with delay in calls coming in (Should be fixed in v1.2, Let me know if there is still a lag)

Add-Ons:

These add-ons are for Lollipop builds and need to be flashed in SafeStrap Recovery either immediately after the ROM is flashed or by these instructions if you are already on Lollipop:
1) Download the add-on/s you are wanting to flash and put it on your ext-sd or internal sd storage
2) Odin a 4.4.x kernel to get into Safestrap Recovery
3) Flash the add-on/s as you would normally flash anything in SafeStrap
4) Press home, then reboot and select download mode
5) Odin the stock OA8 Kernel only and reboot
6) Enjoy!

First! Thanks for your work.

Honestly first doesn't mean s$%& but I've never been able to say it so I did.

So far this is EXCELLENT. Lightweight, only 700MB RAM in use. Very fast. Will flash corporate email apk, the rest can be downloaded. So far so good.

I'm not completely familiar with everything.... but is there a way to use this ROM with Xposed framework? I would really like a light-weight, highly customizable ROM and it seems like that combination would work. Again I'm probably thinking of the impossible in that.

Should still work. I haven't tested it yet (waiting a little bit) but I am on a debloated deodexed ROM right now using Xposed. Picture attached shows my notifications modified with Xposed.

I'm not completely familiar with everything.... but is there a way to use this ROM with Xposed framework? I would really like a light-weight, highly customizable ROM and it seems like that combination would work. Again I'm probably thinking of the impossible in that.

It is absolutely possible.. It's not included in the ROM but you can install the xposed framework and then use Wanam if you want or other xposed modules just fine! The ROM is barebone basically so its a clean slate for you to play with and adjust to your liking!

Should still work. I haven't tested it yet (waiting a little bit) but I am on a debloated deodexed ROM right now using Xposed. Picture attached shows my notifications modified with exposed.

You using Wanam to edit the notification drop down?

I've also installed Xposed with Wanam with no issues. Just make sure you download Xposed from the XDA forums.

One question though. How would I change the wallpaper on the lock screen?

    EXTREME SYNDICATE LOLLIPOP STYLE!

    WARNING
    This ROM is not for the faint of heart. It is extremely debloated! I do not accept requests to add stuff back into the ROM. However, please post in here or the Q&A thread for this ROM and I am sure there are some experienced devs that could help you with your needs!

    Features:
    -Rooted
    -Odexed and Deodexed versions available!
    -Extremely Debloated
    -Removed Verizon splash screen
    -Removed Samsung Keyboard
    -Added Google L Keyboard
    -Removed boot sound
    -Baked in MODS from Jrkruse (v4+ does not have his mods)
    -I'm sure I'm missing some things as well as there is more to come! This is the initial release for L

    -ENJOY

    Coming from Muniz_ri's stock rooted OA8:
    -Download ROM.zip and put it in storage on phone
    -Download NK2/OA8 Kernel's and put on PC

    -Remove more bloat!
    -Change ro.build.version.codename=L to ro.build.version.codename=REL in build.prop to fix some compatibility issues with some apk's. Also, there wasn't much of a difference at all in appearance.
    -Add "Now Browser" with Material Look. This browser can be downloaded from the Play Store as well. The reason is because it is less than 200kb in size and works wonders!
    -Add Adobe Flash Player (to make flash videos work in browser.)

    -Mod includes the following:
    ~Full Memory Management
    ~Linux kernel tweaks and improvements for better performance and battery life
    ~Entropy Generator Engine to reduce lags
    ~Zipalign apps in /system and /data every 48hrs to help reduce RAM usage
    ~SQLite optimizations and faster database access

    ~Build.prop tweaks and improvements
    ~Cleans log files and tombstones on every boot
    ~Many other tweaks for better performance and battery life!
    -Possible am going to replace the Android L launcher with a themed Nova Launcher (is lighter than Android L launcher and more themed with more options overall.)

    v1.0:
    Initial Release



    To Do List:

    -Possibly some more debloating (I know there are some Lib files I can remove)
    -Theme (WIP, I just barely had time to dive in to it after making v1.2 of the ROM but so far just have all the tools necessary and need to find time outside of work to start diving in)
    Wierd issue with delay in calls coming in (Should be fixed in v1.2, Let me know if there is still a lag)

    I third this. I had to stop running his roms because so much was removed that the phone would just freeze or take forever to do anything.

    odd.. it doesnt freeze or lag for me.. this rom has never been for the faint of heart.. i never use a camera so to me a camera is not 'essential" among other things..

    to me essential is a rom that boots fine and runs..

    as said before, if you dont want to take the time to put what you want on the phone and truely customize it to your liking then you should install a different rom.

    With that being said, I will not be updating the rom any longer since it appears debloating more is not what people want..

    Its just as difficult to get a stock based rom and debloat it yourself and then customize it but to each their own..

    I do not have the time or patience to continue.. work is crazy and when I debloat the rom people complain about what is not on the rom. I end up uploading apks and trying to please everyone which defeats the purpose of the rom and takes the fun out of customizing your phone the way you want it.

    Happy Romming people!

    Add-Ons:

    These add-ons are for Lollipop builds and need to be flashed in SafeStrap Recovery either immediately after the ROM is flashed or by these instructions if you are already on Lollipop:
    1) Download the add-on/s you are wanting to flash and put it on your ext-sd or internal sd storage
    2) Odin a 4.4.x kernel to get into Safestrap Recovery
    3) Flash the add-on/s as you would normally flash anything in SafeStrap
    4) Press home, then reboot and select download mode
    5) Odin the stock OA8 Kernel only and reboot
    6) Enjoy!

    An update..

    I was able to take an existing theme and modify it to work on this ROM.. Only thing left for me to work on is that I keep getting an incallui.apk fc when using the phone.. I believe I know how to fix it however!

    With it to work I had to remove the call record mod for now until I manually add it..

    The theme will require to be flashed right after ROM until I have time to fully incorporate it.. With that being said, the colors will be black and white. This should also increase battery life as dark colors tend to do so!

    The name will be posted once I get the kinks out and am uploading the ROM!

    Edit: I also added back stock SMS per request since 8sms is not themed to match ROM.
