Gabesir + Mid3vil ​
Awesome ROM!​

Norma S6 /N5 port , Fully converted to sprint and fully working ( I hope )


Installation:

- Make a backup ( dont come crying if you didn't)
- Copy the rom to your phone
- Install ROM (recommended clean wipe)
- Wait for the initial boot ( takes time )
- Go through setup wizard ( If there is no signal on first boot , reboot )
- Profit

(Warning if you coming from AOSP, AOKP or other non TW rom you need need to wipe internal memory)

How to flash the rom best practice :

1: Backup your internal SD to your PC
2: Download the OC5 tar (stock LP) from HERE
3: Pull the battery out for 10-15 secs , insert the battery again and put your phone on download mode (volume down+home+power) and connect the phone to PC
4: Open odin and click on AP and select your tar file (OC5)
5: Phone will reboot , at the setup screen power the phone off and put it back to download mode(refer to step 3)
6: Download CFautoroot from HERE
7: Unzip cfautoroot and you will find a odin and a tar file. open odin and click AP and select the auto root tar
8: Phone will reboot again
9: Power the phone down and go back to download mode (refer to step 3 )
10: Download TWRP 2.8.7.0 from HERE
11: Odin the TWRP tar file.
12: Power up the phone on Recovery mode ( volume up+home+power)
13: Go to wipe and select all but external SD card
14: Flash the rom from this post ( it will take like 10 minutes to boot just wait don't freak out)
15: Complete your initial set up. ( once you get to the wizard if there is no signal wait a few minute or reboot )
16: Restore your SD card back up except for the folder call android.



Whats under the hood:

- Norma S6 port
- Sprint apps
- N5 apps
And much more to list just flash and find out~! :good:

Who can I blame for glitches and other pesky bugs
Mid3vil

Known S6 port glitches:
Launcher grid option greyed out fix :
Change theme from default to something else. Then you can change grid size and go back to default theme if you want
Some market Themes don't apply correctly:
Remember this is a port and themes are made for factory devices.:silly:

Mods:
Inverted theme: ( not my work so if you like his work Thx @Wiidesire <-- makes awesome stuff )

Are you trying to fix the messages bubbles...or just the icon theme to N5...I had gotten a zip from mid3vil and when i flashed, The icon would not be there but in private apps it was there, So what i did was extract the delight open apk, and simply pressed it and installed it like an app and it worked for me, i now have the n5 themed mms working.

I beleive it's the bubbles. It doesn't theme if you apply a theme. In the screen shots of the themes you can see they match the overall theme but in the end you still only have the same blue/yellow, blue/orange, grey/grey options. This has been all s6 Roms not just this one but I almost bet that between these 2 devs they will figure it out.

If your still on a note 3 this rom is gonna keep you going till you upgrade. Data is solid, everything works and it's got note 5 goodies taboot.. What's not to like.. You won't be disappointed!

Totes ma goats sent from ma notes.

going into sounds and notifications, ringtones and sounds....messages goes to shut down of settings

default notifications sound, would love to have option like ringtones, and add a song or edited file?

Lock Screen is very quick as in you see by time you go to unlock its black again

Also seen it slow to open lock screen

though I would give you update as to what I have found

again smooth man
