Instructions
You must be on the ND8 or NDC bootloader or you risk bricking your phone. If you are not you need to Odin the stock 4.4.2 tar. This thread is not the place for discussing how to do this or rooting or installing a custom recovery, Google is your friend.
1. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT ROM
2. Download ROM and place on SD and CHECK MD5SUM BEFORE FLASHING
3. Reboot into recovery (Philz Recovery is the only recovery that I will support)
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset, format /system, format /cache, wipe dalvik cache
5. Flash ROM
6. Wait until it finished (about 5 mins)
7. Reboot
8. Wait for ROM to boot (if it's more than 10 mins something went wrong)
9. Go through Setup Wizard
10. Go into Settings/Language & Input/Samsung Keyboard and download the language(s) of your choice
11. Set up and enjoy




Thanks
-CNexus- support and base ROM
-6th_Hokage- for inspiring/hounding me to start this project and some helpful links
-Chad the Pathfinder- for his contributions
-Team Wicked
-All the Wicked X users and anyone who tested the preview (there were over a hundred, but I appreciate all of you)
-XDA, the best site on the net

I see you went with xplosion audio rather than viper4android. Any problem if I remove xplosion or does it sound better? In your opinion?
Click to expand...
Xplosion Audio works with Viper... It's under the hood and in every one of my ROMs (it's actually my mod ;)). Just make sure you remove system/app/MusicFX.apk after installing Viper4Android. I actually just optimized SoundAlive to make it more S5 like.

Like a notification you were trying to click on? Or the app force closed when you pulled down the notification panel? Trying clearing the app's data and cache, I just had to do that for my PNC app earlier today. Secure apps like that have problems with custom ROMs sometimes (especially with SElinux in permissive)

No it fc in the app when clicking button to show drop down menu to choose which account to use. I tried clearing cache and data and still fc at that point
