[ROM-ADDON] Minin3; project MENDIOSUS v1.0 (aosp cm11) (1/14/14)

[mjcollum]

MININ3
(OPERATION MENDIOSUS)
{RELEASE 1.0 ALPHA TEST}
(I know this seems like a lot to read through but I highly recommend it)
SEE POST #2 FOR DOWNLOAD LINKS
SEE POST #3 FOR INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
SEE POST #4 FOR CONTRIBUTOR AND TEST GROUP INFO

PLEASE BE AWARE-- THIS ROM IS NOT BASED ON OFFICIAL SAMSUNG FILES, IT IS BASED ON A RUNNING CM11 CYANOGENMOD SYSTEM.
AND WHILE THIS IS VERY GOOD, CM11 IS NOT 100% READY FOR OUR DEVICES, ALSO ANY SAMSUNG SPECIFIC FEATURES (MULTIWINDOW, PEN WINDOW, SHEALTH, ect) WILL NOT WORK (THOUGH I WILL ATTEMPT TO INCLUDE ALTERNATES), AND WHILE IT IS PRETTY STABLE, AT THIS TIME THERE WILL BE SOME MINOR BUGS. AS CM11 CHANGES THOSE WILL BE REDUCED. IF YOU NEED ABSOLUTE STABILITY AND EXCELLENT BATTERY LIFE PLEASE USE A TOUCHWIZ ROM BASED ON THE OFFICIAL mj4 UPDATE>

for a slightly better look at what touchwiz is vs what cm11 (aosp) is check out a few of these links.

I AM NOT TRYING TO SAY cm11 ISNT VERY GOOD. I LIKE IT QUITE A BIT.
or i wouldnt have gone through the effort of making this.
just that touchwiz is more than the launcher it is actually a whole set of files built directly into the system specifically designed for our devices.
MANY of the apps that come stock on the note 3 rely on these files to function.
and no its not as easy as just copying them over to cm11 based roms.
CM11 is more of a vanilla android experience (with some mods)

PLEASE READ POST #3 CAREFULLY.
THE INSTALL PROCEDURE FOR THIS ROM MAY BE A BIT DIFFERENT THEN WHAT YOU'RE USED TO.

MY TOUCHWIZ BASED ROMS
**BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MININ3.MINIMUS FOR A FULLY DEBLOATED, MORE STOCK EXPERIENCE**

**BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MININ3.MAXIMUS FOR A TOUCHWIZ BASED EXTREMELY STABLE CUSTOM EXPERIENCE**

NO KERNEL INCLUDED>
MUST INSTALL OVER A CM11 BASED BUILD
which will have the kernel and a full system this rom only changes and adds features for cm11 builds

STEP ONE:
install a cm11 build tested over this one here...
thank @noobnl for his hard work bringing us a working cm

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2599669
i used:NEW NEW NEW BUILD from that thread.

there is now an official build page for the note 3 cm builds here.
latest official builds can be found here
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hltespr

Reports are it also works very well with VANIR based roms
http://www.emccann.net/nuclearmistake/VanirAOSPNightlies/hltespr/

STEP TWO GET THIS FILE:
DOWNLOAD
VERSION 1.0 ALPHA SOME MINOR BUGS (CM11 is not 100% yet)
(if downloading from phone gives a bin file download with a pc, should be.zip)

INCLUDES ALL NECESSARY GAPPS AND OTHER NEEDED FILES!

Built on top of cm11 for multiple reasons, (my upload bandwith is horrible right now, cm11 is getting constant updates, this will make things easier on me at least until everything gets worked out) (should also work UNTESTED on other cm11 builds/roms for the sprint note 3)

Install instructions

FOR THIS VERSION AT THE MOMENT CWM RECOVERY IS NOT SUPPORTED
cwm lacks the fix permissions script needed to ensure certain data settings remain intact
future versions will improve on this, however for now use TWRP

Install notes for test version 1 (this will change dramatically with upcomming versions)

FIRST (ESPECIALLY IF COMING FROM 4.3)
wipe everything in recovery except internal and external sd
(wipe>advanced)
reboot into recovery (IMPORTANT)
then install from there.

install cm11 first
boot to system

This is an update add on to cm11 based roms

flash update reboot (to write data to system)

flash update again, fix permissions, (edits data after a boot)
reboot

(i have been working on a much improved install procedure that should ensure a one step install,
the reason for editing data is to pre-set some app settings
without having to edit individual apk files, this increases
compatibility and ensures things still work as intended as apps get updated)

open pie control give admin
open wanam press update install (to force admin)
will need to open a few other apps also will list as found

future versions should take care of this automagically.

can use hide apps to hide unwanted apps from the launcher (this will also be preset in the future)
i usually use it to hide all the wanam modules and not the xposed installer.
then use xposed installer , modules to edit settings as needed.
also can hide anything else you want to leave installed but not see.

these apps may need root enabled (just open and try and change something) should prompt..
Xposed installer
Pie control
startup manager (if wanted)
texdroider dpi (if wanted)
file manager
xhalo floating windows (wanam module)
app hider (to hide apps optional)

also there are some included themes under the settings menu themes.
ignore the warning and just press apply, (stock cm11, blackout, twstyle)

may also want to uncheck and recheck all the wanam modules and reboot after to be sure they all actually get set.

ADVANCED USERS/USERS WANTING TO USE THIS ON TOP OF ANOTHER CM11 BUILD

STILL READ ABOVE NOTES>
Dirty flash on top of any running cm11 system should be fine (unconfirmed)
NOT WIPING DATA SHOULD BE FINE ALSO IF YOU ARE ALREADY ON A 4.4 BUILD.
DO THIS:
flash update reboot (to write data to system)
flash update again, fix permissions, (edits data after a boot)
reboot

Would we be able to downgrade back to 4.3 without any issues or do we need to do something special in order to do that?
You're on fire MJ

I have had no issues going back to 4.3

both by install of a mj4 rom or by recovering a backup,

though i do recommend ..
wipe everything but internal and external sd
reboot recovery
then install whatever you want from there.

 

[mjcollum]

upload almost done...
