Hi guys, welcome to Galaxy Note fre3. This ROM is 'Wizless' in that it doesn't have the Samsung launcher or widgets, and tries to remove as much bloatware as possible while maintaining a fully functional ROM.

Maximize Widgets: Maximizes the lockscreen widgets by default.
Native Clip Board: Long pressing "paste" will present you with a slide-in window with your previous clipboard entries. Anything you copy should appear here.
Play Store link in App Info: gives you a "play store" button in the App Info of apps you've installed from the play store, making it easier to get to the play store entry of the app.
ScreenOffAnimation: Set to CRT by default, this allows you to change your screen on and off animations.
SwypeTweaks: Set to have swype's voice dictation icon default to Google instead of Dragon.
Text Xposed: Set up to allow you to grab the definition of "selected" text in a text field by pressing the 3 dot menu or the "define" button if visible. Also set to allow you to double tap some text fields that are not editable.

XInstaller: Set up to allow you to downgrade apps, as well as long pressing an app's icon in App Info to take you to its Play Store entry. Single tapping an app's icon will launch the app. Also has a few options checked for disabling signature checking.
Xposed Torch: Set up to allow long pressing of the Volume UP key while the screen is off to turn on the LED flash. (Long pressing again will turn it off. Sometimes it takes two tries to turn it off)
YouTube Adaway: No more ads in YouTube videos. This module needs to be updated through the Xposed Installer every time YouTube gets updated.

[size=+1]Introducing: Galaxy Note fre3 post-install with Xposed Framework[/size]

In Galaxy Note fre3 2.0, I have written a post-install script that will install, on first boot, the Xposed Framework, wanam, tinted status bar, and butteredtoast. This does not mean you have to manually install Xposed, and enable modules. It is all automated and all happens on first boot. No need to 'reflash' the ROM. This will happen any time you do a factory reset on this ROM. It also sets a few default settings, enables tethering, and a bunch of things behind the scenes. I consider this a version 0.1 product. It has great potential and will able me to apply entire settings on your device--everything from ringtones to brightness, volume, widget layouts, lockscreen wallpaper, etc. You name it, I can probably make the post-install script do it. This will enable the Galaxy Note fre3 ROM to be truly customized in every way exactly how I intend it to be.

You will notice upon first boot, when the white screen comes on telling you that your phone is setting up for the first time, that the phone will quickly 'hot boot' after about 30 seconds. This is completely normal and is part of the post-install process. Don't freak out and think you're in a boot loop. Everything will be fine. As the ROM progresses, I will modify that screen with a message like "Your phone will reboot during the setup. Please wait..."

See it in action:

Give it a run guys, it's an amazing thing.
@freeza, you've outdone yourself.

Post that dang mirror. The download speeds are just killing me, seeing how it's still uploading.

What is wrong with you sir?

And fix those typos in the instructions. Make that "you do have to" into a "you do not have to..."

Boss approved...
