[ROM][KitKat4.4.2]CIVZ_NOTE8.0_rev1.0[15/nov/2015]

[civato]

Note:
To all users, I did this rom as I thought some features that are present in my Note Pro12.2 custom rom were missing.
All the stuff is build into the system and framework without any need for Xposed framework. As I found that Xposed is sometimes giving instability or the modules it uses. You still can us the Xposed Framework as I build it into the system as a option.
I would like to thank ZaneZam for his kernel. I only added some stuff into the ramdisk to add some system controls.
I would like to thank the following for tips, guides and apps:

That's a issue with our recoveries

 

[Angelkid]

Thanks for the ROM. Is there a ROM for N5100?

 

[Leakhanak]

Make for 5100 please!

 

[Riff76]

Guys please read the other thread recently discontinued. Civ said the update would be for 5110 only.

Wow, I thought the ROM builds were done with until I saw this...

I must admit I have been toying with another ROM but have used ZaneZam's Kernal though it is a beta. One thing each revision got better and better. I found resetting the tools settings and clearing cache to be important when changing kernels.

I am not completely happy with the kernel as some things need corrected on the build I am running. The only reason I chose to run his latest revision is that it is fast and clears up some of the lag with Miracast with sports.

Also I found that not many tools work proper with his kernels. They function but have some issues that may mess with the kernels function.

I use Xposed framework and a lot of modules but keep away from Xblast and Wanam... as they have strange characteristics with KK.

I use CPU adjuster as a charging profile switcher. Since it does not save Boefolla config profiles with memory and kernal settings, I am forced to use the standard profile and tweek it manually in CPU adjuster. CPU adjuster lets you adjust charging rate to 2 amps so you get another 250 ma of juice.

I made a few tweaks to allow for the best miracast connectivity and wifi strengthening, by adding a sysctl.conf file with a number of tweaks. One being limiting IPV6 issues. Though if anyone disables IPV6, they will loose miracast and VPN connectivity.

I recommend using Veno, Vegas, Yeah, Scalable, or LP depending on your throughput and congestion, with miracast. I have an old router that sucks so Scalable is the best for my needs.

Is there a list anywhere of what apps are included in each of the options in the aroma installer? It's sort of a pain to just guess, and then guess wrong & end up with a bunch of stuff you don't want. One thing I'm looking for is the stock Samsung video player app (purple icon, the one that has the minimize-to-a-floating-window feature). I installed "Samsung Apps" from aroma, but it's not in there.

Unrelated: I'm getting the upside-down-and-sideways-aroma problem as well. I believe Phil3759 (of PhilZ recovery) mentioned that the recovery program has to do some monkeying with the drivers to get it to work properly. I'm using TWRP, which correctly shows up in landscape mode, but aroma shows up landscape and upside down - while at the same time the touch zones are clearly running in portrait mode. You can still use it, by guessing where to touch and using volume up/down, but it's a pain in the ass.

I couldn't get root binaries to install. On philz cmw 6.x.x recovery. Is there a suggested recovery to use, civ?

Same here with TWRP.

I recommend Philz recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287802

Same here with TWRP.

I've also had no luck with root access. There is no su binary in either bin or xbin directories. Chainfire's SuperSU install package does not grant root access after flashing. Do we need to use CF-Autoroot in order to gain root access?

I had same problem. Flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip in recovery and got root access.

I'll give that a try again. I had tried both of the zips on the SuperSU and both failed to root my N5110. I came from the CM 13.0 beta so maybe that has something to do with it.

I just updated the binary, I don't knwo why it fails with some people. Reroot from recovery then.
In philz recovery you can reroot.

Thanks, worked for me also.

 

[rfb813]

Got all working and then rebooted and now even though I get wifi signal everything is offline. Can't access maps, Playstore, or internet. Any ideas! This is now on other Roms as well.

So does the spen work on this Rom

 

[casper66m]

Does this rom have aircommand feature?
Thank you,

 

[sefrcoko]

So does the spen work on this Rom

It's TouchWiz-based so I don't see why it wouldn't work like normal.

Does this rom have aircommand feature?
Thank you,

I don't see that listed in OP so I assume not.

Just download and try it out! Make a backup first in case you want to go back.
