[ROM][MJ9][Safestrap] Mediocre ROM v1.0

[spc_hicks09]

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I released anything for Android. I took a much needed break from everything for about 5 months. Well now I'm back and I'm making my home the Note 2 section

Now let me tell you first off, this ROM is absolutely nothing to go crazy over (hence the name). However, it will eventually grow into a pretty badass build by time the last update rolls around. So if you want to use this ROM, what I'm asking is that you take a journey with me. This ROM will be an adventure and I would like you all to go on that adventure with me. Follow me through every step of this ROM. Too many times nowadays, ROMs are used for about a maximum of 1 month before people get bored and move on to something else. That's why I started Mediocre ROM. I wanted to start with a completely clean slate, and then eventually add features in 1 by 1 (or a group of features here, group of features there). My point is that I want this ROM to have many updates, that way you, the user, are never bored. Also, if you have ANY suggestions, please post them!! I'm not saying they will all be implemented, but they will ALL be considered. So without further ado, let's get to the brass tax!

NOTE:
You must be on the MJ9 Firmware to flash this ROM!!

Credits will be added as more and more people contribute the features that get added into this ROM.

any chance of getting a non-safestrap version for the ones who haven't upgraded to 4.3 & locked bootloader?

I'll look into it. Shouldn't be too hard to do but since I'm locked and on 4.3 this build will have priority.

I kinda wanted to keep this stock Note 2 but I do love the Note 3 apps that everyone is putting in theirs so I might throw them in. I'm glad you like the idea. Haven't seen anyone else do something like this yet.

I must have got a bad download. I got an error after the flash and had to go back to Alliance. I'm going to try another download and try once more as I think this is one of the coolest rom concepts yet and want to be involved. Thank you for doing a rom just for safestrap users like me.

Had this issue before with ROMs. Might be a bad upload. I'll have to look at the link and see what's up. Thanks for letting me know!

Unfortunately it happened again using the same link. After install I get a red FAILED ... so restored back to Alliance. I will try again once you check the upload. Thanks again and I can't wait to give this a whirl.

It's a bad upload. I'll have to find somewhere else to upload the ROM and then I'll comment here when I do.

Lol no worries! I didn't find a different place to upload it yet. I'm going to try a couple places today though. It is definitely a bad upload though. Size of the file is 1.02GB and it only uploaded 801.1MB. I'll comment here though as soon as I get this uploaded. I have access to a FTP host now so I'll try that.

 

[spc_hicks09]

Disabled "home button wake" too. Going to start uploading after I make a few changes real quick.

 

[spc_hicks09]

Really sorry for taking so long everyone! I ran into some issues and will be posting something this week.
