[ROM] [i9195] Impacted ROM v1 - TouchWiz with CM-like customisation

[impactor]

Impacted ROM​

​

version 1
Will there be a KitKat update of this ROM?
Read here.


Latest JB Samsung TouchWiz
XXUBNB3 (28th February 2014), Android 4.2.2​

Why this ROM?

I was using CM-based ROMs since ever, because of their customisability and poweruser options I required. However, I always missed the better camera quality of the TW rom.
Finally, I decided to quit compromising and so I put this ROM together.


Features:

• Knox kicked to the curb, along with its apps
• rooted
• BusyBox and init.d
• Zipaligned
• odexed (for better performance)
• compatible with modern recoveries (like PhilZ)

Extras included:

• Xposed framework + Wanam + XuiMod - enables customization of TouchWiz rom on the level comparable with custom AOSP/CM roms. But make sure you know how to use it!
• GPS modified for faster lock and better performance
• AdAway

How to flash:

1. Get into recovery (I use PhilZ, but any should work)
2. Flash the ROM
3. Reboot and let it bootloop for a minute. It will not boot, and this is normal.
4. Force reboot into recovery
5. Flash Vikinger kernel (for BLN support) or f4ktion kernel (for overclocking/undervolting). Warning: f4ktion kernels has a bug - read here. Let me know if it is not affecting you, should you decide to try f4ktion kernel.
6. Reboot.
   
   Steps 3 and 4 might not be necessary. See for yourself and report back if skipping them works for you.
   

First proper boot may take several minutes as the phone comes to grips with how awesome ROM it will now run.


Extra steps for those who want to get max performance out of their phones with f4ktion kernel:

7. Edit file /system/etc/init.d/90hardlimit - change HARDLIMIT_VALUE to 2052000
8. Use program like Trickstermod to overclock and/or undervolt. My i9195 works on 2052 MHz with all voltages lowered by 150mV


In terms of looks, it starts just as regular TouchWiz,

and then you can make it look what you want.

This is mine:

Yes, it has battery bar.

Enjoy and prosper.

Awesome to see a new rom

Since I'm more a visual guy - can we have some screenshots just to see how the best of two worlds looks like?

Done. But as I mentioned - it starts just as regular TouchWiz. It just gives you options to customize the crap out of it.

Reboot isn't working properly. Most of the time when I hit "reboot" the device just shuts down.

Are you using Xposed 4-way reboot? I noticed it, too, and I think it's the module problem.
But it doesn't bother me. Reboot to recovery and download mode should work fine.

 

[junkyde]

Yes I am using it. But when I used it on ML1 and other versions before, there where no issues. It also happend to me when I hit reboot from inside of other apps where I made some changes and a popup told me I need to reboot.

Can you try removing the framework and module, and then reinstalling it form Playstore?

 

[OmegaRED^]

seems nice.

 

[junkyde]

after deinstalling wanam xposed reboot worked, but with a huge delay. luckily the lights where off so after hitting the reboot button I could see that the display was still glowing, otherwise I would thought the device has shut down. Then I also deinstalled the framework and xposed installer. Reboot was still working (but with the delay). Afterwards I installed everything as it was before and now reboot doesn't work anymore.

 

[impactor]

Hmm... Perhaps you should disable the module tweaks before removing the modules. Did you try that?

 

[junkyde]

I think so... but I am not quite sure.

 

[impactor]

I think so... but I am not quite sure.

You could also try flashing Vikinger kernel. If that doesn't help, then most likely it is the NB3 doing that, OR the ML1 kernel is not 100% compatible with NB3.

 

[junkyde]

I flashed Vikinger Kernel, because BLN didn't work with f4ktions. After flashing Vikinger, BLN started working. Then I flashed f4ktion again und now BLN is working with f4ktion. But I don't remember if the reboot problem persisted with Vikinger... And I am too lazy to test it again, because it's not a huge issue for me :laugh:

Prompt for I9190 fit?

Sent from my GT-I9190 using xda app-developers app

 

[Loulou-13]

woow ! thank !

removed "bloats" ? all unused Samsung apps and some features completely useless .....and with "XS" google apps

what is the most updated and stable kernel between F4k and wikinger ? (with best ratio "good perf / life battery")

 

[NikePershing]

Well,i have to much reboots with this rom.Could be the f4ktion-kernel or the framework (i used the rom-integrated and a new one over the xposeapp update).I deinstalled the updated framework and switched the kernel,but with vikinger i can't activate wifi.

I haven't experienced any reboots. Perhaps the source is one of your programs, or overclocking, if any.

 

[junkyde]

but with vikinger i can't activate wifi

that's because the f4ktion kernel changes the wifi modules. if you are going from f4ktion to another kernel, you need to replace them with the ones from stock rom. You can read in the f4ktion kernel thread about that issue and you will find the needed files there

 

[NikePershing]

I had to replace 3 files in system/etc/firmwares/wlan/prima folder with stock ones.Now wifi works with vikinger after f4ktion.
