Xtreme Dynamic Kat 1.1 NI2 Kit Kat 4.4.2 for the G900A/G870A

Post 4: Additional Mods and links
Post 5: TM Build (Debloated. Developer talkingmonkeys personal build of XDK 1.1)
Please read all 5 posts before asking questions in the thread to avoid asking one that is answered in these posts.

This ROM is based off @bri315317's Dynamic Kat 4.0. He has given me permission to keep this ROM going and take it in my own direction. Thank you very much for allowing me to do this and save a little bit of time starting from scratch so late in the life of kit kat for this device. Note that a lot of the features of this ROM are from him. Buy that man a beer if you haven't because he put a lot of work into this.

From my first great experience on the s3 on @Danvdh's Dandroid I enjoyed ROMs like this and tweaked it a little myself. He moved on to the S4 and I've been following his great work there as well even though I don't have the device. He's taught me a lot as well as @Enewman17 who let me create TMS3KK based off his and loserskater's S3Rx. I aim to make my releases the exact same way as @bri315317 said in his OP here.

"Speed and Performance without sacrificing Features! I promise you will feel the difference from the first swipe!
With a goal of being light weight and easy on your battery, I am sure you will be satisfied. I have set this ROM up to run smooth the way I like it. Hopefully it will fit your needs also. Feature request are ALWAYS welcomed. I am a bit of a perfectionist and want things to be RIGHT! Something not right, please let me know so I can address it!"

Although I did test this rom there is always a chance things can go wrong. I am not responsible for what you do to your phone. You should know what you're getting yourself into.
If you don't, please do not flash this and READ, READ, READ these forums until you feel confident enough to do so.

Please report any bugs. If at all possible please try and recreate the issues while running a logcat. The issue can be solved much faster then just telling me "this don't work".

More information/Q&As

Q&A from DK thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54267482&postcount=3

To further appreciate the themes you may want to change your setting for toggle colors in DK ROM Control. Set them to #00000000 to make them transparent for the on, off and dim settings. This will let them show as they are intended to be. It will come in handy in future themes.

Q. Why is my status bar clock not appearing?
A. You need to choose the color and change the alignment for it in DK ROM Control > Misc Status Bar Mods > Potato Clock

Q. Upon initial boot I have 2 battery icons, how to fix?
A. You can either remove the stock battery icon and use 3minnit battery mod by going to DK ROM Control > Misc Status Bar Mods and checking and unchecking the checkbox for "Stock Battery Icon". To disable 3minnit instead open 3minnit battery settings and click the settings tab then uncheck "Show Battery". Also if you use 3minnit and wonder why the icons are so tiny use the "Size adjustment" setting here.

Q. Will you be updating the base to 4.4.4?
A. No! We are awaiting lollipop. Enjoy the last bite of kit kat and don't worry about AT&T's late OTA update.

Q. Floating Message popup isn't working with messages.
A. If it's not working go in application manager or titaniun backup and clear cache and data for it. You will be looking for airmessage or floating message. I can't remember which it is but I had it stop working for messaging a few times when working on the rom and this fixed it.

Q. Team Blackout apps aren't installing and giving me an error "Application not installed"
A. Uninstall the current version of the app and install the TBO one.

Q. Some sites won't work for me after using adaway. It happens when I click links from this thread for downloads.
A. Adaway's hosts file is blocking some redirect sites like the one from XDA. To fix this simply open adaway and open the menu then goto lists. In your whitelist add viglink.com. I suggest adding ad.fly also. You can remember this for any other undesirable sites it blocks.

Now I can finally watch last nights Walking Dead then catch up on some sleep. Thank you @iamthedj and everyone else. This is just the start. When I get a little bit of relaxation without stressing to get this out I will work on a debloated build thats to my liking and finishing this holo blue theme.

May have found a major bug. Tried to bu, but it didn't work. I don't think ss recovery read the ext sdcard.

Weird. Micro SD is mounted. Unmount and remount, no change. Reset settings to default and all is good. Thanks again.
