The Sweetener Pack is an ALL IN ONE aroma installer for your CandyKat Rom. It's meant to theme various aspects of UI and Lockscreen. This style of theming was hatched in the Candy Shop threads on XDA developers. It is the foundation of the vision and concept of the Rom. The Sweetener Packs will contain exclusive themes and mods just for CandyKat Rom. We will be updating libs and adding themes regularly!

The link takes you directly to the download itself. That's why I did it that way; no searching neccesary. Just use the first available mirror after 5 seconds. In mobile format, you'll need to scroll down.

Hey everyone I rooted my wifes S4 on sprint.

Installed TWRP

Wiped and tried to flash.

Multiple problems, hopefully someone can help.


TWRP, when I wipe it goes back to the TWRP menu and then locks it self. I can unlock it and the wipe appears to be successful but this doesnt happen on my note 3.


Next on this ROM I can't get past the boot screen, just those 4 dots going crazy non-stop.

Advice?



Nevermind I got it.

Flashed TWRP via Odin (guess I got a bad copy of it)
Flashing TWRP via Odin got it fixed it didnt home screen me again.

Realized I forgot a few steps, and forgot Gapps


it's running good now and my wife likes it!
