[ROM][10/03/2015] Ultra Light | No S-Voice | Nova Launcher | Deodexed | PreRooted

[Rayman360]

Ultra Light ROM for the AT&T Galaxy S6​

Ultra Light is a de-bloated stock ROM without Touchwhiz Launcher and S-Voice. Nova Launcher is installed out of the box. This ROM is for people wanting a more traditional Google 5.0.2 experience, without sacrificing the features of a Touchwhiz ROM. Big thanks to Scrosler for the UCU1AOE2 base and _Dennis_ for the deodexed files.

Note: As long as you have 1.2 or above, you should be able to flash over your existing ROM, as long as you wipe davlik cache first, although its always best to start fresh.
Note: Do not take the OF3 update at this time as it does not have root. OF3 based Ultra Light is still ways off, and the improvements of OF3 are trivial at best.

[Rayman360]

Which build.prop changes were made?

A tweak to keep launcher in memory
A tweak to slow down the wifi scanning intervals
Some other random tweaks that I cant remember right now :silly:

Its unclear how much of an impact these tweaks make, if any at all, but it cant hurt.

This is not a themed ROM, so I am not sure what your looking for in particular. I have over 100 pieces of software on my phone, I would be more than happy to submit some screenshots if you would like.

What does deodexed mean? Does the Rom essentially look like the stock AOSP? Are the settings and notification center have the same appearance as stock android?

It will look like the stock ROM but will have a ton of stuff removed including the TouchWiz launcher but it will, in no way, look like an AOSP based ROM.

Here is a real good guide to what it all means

You can see in the change-logs what I have removed.

I know it isn't a themed rom, I just want to see when you say "no touchwiz" does that mean it has the look of stock Android?

No it means the extra touchwiz apps are gone, what's left is the same systemUI (general look), same settings.apk (the setting menu), etc.

If your looking for AOSP look, go to the Verizon section and get the AOSP theme based on the urban theme.

Private Mode isnt activating in settings, is this because the rom is deodexed?

Its deodexed and parts of knox are removed, so you are correct... thank you for bringing this to my attention, I will update the main thread right away with this bug.
