Download:
If you wanna make a mirror, please ask me first.

v1.1 - MEGA (1.14GB)
v1.1 - Google Drive (1.14GB)

Older builds (not recommended):
Not yet :)
If phone won't boot after flashing the ROM, flash STOCK or other KitKat compatible Kernel

Notes:
- The modem is not included in this ROM. You will keep your current modem. To change modem this will need to be done with Odin.
- This ROM is built for standard DPI. If you wish to change it that is fine but I don’t take requests to fix DPI issues.
- I made this ROM for my own personal enjoyment and it works fine for me. But what works for me may not work for you. I merely put together what I like and use. If you don't like it then please don't flash it or even download it and chose another ROM.

Workarounds:
  • Speaking caller ID thanks to @guachine -
    1) In more toggles short press on hands free mode to enable it
    2) Long press to go to options
    3) Untick all
    4) Disable Hands-free mode
  • Grayscale doesn`t work -
    Go to AGNi Control app and disable MDNIE Hijack
  • Phone wakes up when the screen is tapped (with chargher plugged in) -
    Go to AGNi Control app an choose the setting that suits you most.

One hand all screen work in Blekota?
Working only when you press 'Reduce screen' from the sidepanel.. I didn't managed to make it work when swiping the screen.. Maybe i don't do it like it should.. Anyway i removed the link for now because i discovered some issues with the microphone.. If anyone downloaded and installed the rom could confirm it's not only on my side.. :confused: Still looking into it.. Cheers!

s not not working,please help
On my phone it works. Did you wiped all data before flashing?
The download link has been removed?
Download link removed, when it is available for download?
As i said i removed the link because microphone was broken and i didn`t saw a point to leave it here.
I solved mic issue and reuploaded it. Cheers!
