I present you DevBase v3.6 (based on N9005XXUGBPD3) - see changelog in post #2 :cool:

Most important thing - Aroma Installer has been removed! There are 2 new customization methods of installation options (these steps are not mandatory, you can skip them and install the ROM with default settings -> odexed / rooted / CscFeature MOD):

1. Place modified options.prop file in the root directory of internal emulated scdard (/data/media/0) or extSdCard (recommended if you plan to format internal emulated sdcard) and then start the installation. You can find reference file inside the ZIP installer. To view example options.prop file (with explanations) - see hidden content:

Code:
#
# DevBase by ALEXNDR (_alexndr @ XDA)
#
# Configuration file to allow customize the installation.
#
# File inside the ZIP installer is just for reference - please do not modify it!
# If you want to change some options listed below - copy this file, then edit it using
# e.g. Notepad++ (do not use Windows Notepad!), then place your modified options.prop file
# in the root directory of internal emulated scdard (/data/media/0) or in the root directory
# of extSdCard (recommended if you plan to format internal emulated sdcard) and then start
# the installation.
#
# TIP: You do not need to repeat this step every next update I will release. As long as your
# customized options.prop file is present in the (ext)SdCard - future DevBase installers will
# "read in your mind" that you want to install with such options again.
#
# I agree to use any part of my work to create more advanced custom ROM,
# but it would be great if you add me to the credits

# Enable root access and install the SuperSU app (thanks to @Chainfire)
# Allowed values: 1 - enable root access, 0 - do not enable root access

root.supersu=1

# Deodex ROM during install (change this value only if you really need it!)
# Allowed values: 1 - deodex ROM, 0 - leave original (odexed) framework & apps

deodexed.rom=0

# Install suitable Xposed framework. Allowed values:
# 1 - install Xposed framework, 0 - do not install Xposed framework

xposed.framework=0

# Enable init.d support while running stock kernel. Allowed values:
# 1 - enable init.d support, 0 - do not enable init.d support

init.d.support=0

# Enable some hidden features (e.g. call recording) by adding <CscFeature> entries.
# Allowed values: 1 - enable hidden features, 0 - do not enable hidden features

csc.feature.mod=1

# Take care of security-related system files if there are any (SuperSU PIN, Avast Anti-Thelf in root mode).
# Allowed values: 1 - make a backup and then restore at the end of installation, 0 - skip backup

security.files=1

# Force overwrite your current recovery by stock recovery matched to the ROM version
# (by default it is overwritten only if custom recovery has not been detected).
# Allowed values: 1 - force overwrite current recovery, 0 - check previously used recovery

stock.recovery=0

# CSC Selection. Allowed values:
# KCSC - Keep current CSC, recommended in most cases (automatic selection or copy your current CSC contents).
# You can force the use of natively supported CSC by typing (use UPPERCASE!): ATO, AUT, BGL, BTU, CYO, DBT,
# ERO, ETL, EUR, ITV, MSR, NEE, NZC, ORX, PHE, PHN, ROM, SEB, SEE, SIO, TEB, TNZ, TOP, TPH, TRA, TSR, TWO,
# XEF, XEH, XEO, XSA, XSK

CSC=KCSC
2. In the DevBase v3.x I introduced possibility to change most frequently switched options (usually controlled by options.prop) by changing ZIP filename - more info in hidden content below:

Do you need init.d and Xposed? include "initd" and "xposed" strings (not case sensitive) anywhere in the name and then run the installer, e.g. (all below forms are valid):

- N9005XXUGBPD3_DevBase_v3.6_initd_xposed.zip
- N9005XXUGBPD3_DevBase_v3.6_INITd.XpOsEd.zip
- N9005XXUGBPD3_XPOSED_DevBase_v3.6_initd.zip
- ... and even extremely shortened 'xposedinitd.zip' will work, but I do not recommend it (you will probably forget ZIP's purpose in a few days) ;)

Do you need deodexed? (all below forms are valid):
- N9005XXUGBPD3_DevBase_v3.6_deodex.zip
- N9005XXUGBPD3_DevBase_v3.6_deodexed.zip (as "deodex" string is also present)
- N9005XXUGBPD3_DevBaseDEODEX_v3.6.zip, etc...

List of currently supported "options" in the file name:
"noroot" (means "do not root"), "deodex", "xposed", "initd" (no other comments are required, I hope...)

Enjoy :cowboy:

ROM:

>> N9005XXUGBPD3_DevBase_v3.6.zip << (updated Jun-05-2016)

Bootloader & modem (update is mandatory!):

>> BL_N9005XXUGBPD3.tar.md5 <<
>> CP_N9005XXUGBPD1.tar.md5 <<

No wipe data required if you are coming from stock ROM or a previous version of my DevBase :)

Thanks, downloading now. I'm a bit puzzled - what is the difference between the GBxxx and GPxxx series and why would you choose one over the other?

@Vanto & @GalaxyS3Android

It is really strange as I have tested almost all scenarios / combinations - BPD3 / POK2 / odexed /deodexed / xposed / no xposed / etc and at this moment the only not working combination for me is POK2 + xposed (bootloop, I will try to find a solution). EDIT: Problem solved (fixed POK2 version available in post #2086) :cool:

There is no combination for me with even single FC..

Problem with optional internal xposed has been solved (fixed POK2 version available in post #2086) :cool:

Strange issue here: custom ringtones/notifications in ogg format are not read when I try to set them via system settings.
They aren' even listed!
But I can play ogg files...
I only installed your rom and ARISE sound mod, but I never had this problem before with it: if you believe this could be related to some change in system conf due to the audio mod I'll readdress the question to its dev.
