[ROM] Rwilco12's Mostly Stock NE2 v1.3 (1/24/15) (Updater, Debloated, and more!)

Rwilco12's Mostly Stock NE2

As many of you know, I've spent so long dealing with all these stock ROM's and never really branched out into the world of custom ROM's. I can never find a ROM that is 100% what I want. I find a lot that come close but never 100%. So I decided to branch out and try my hand at making my own custom ROM. I got what I wanted for my S5 and was then asked to port it over to the Note 2. That being said, this is my ROM. I made it for me. I'll take requests and do what I can but ultimately I'm building a ROM that is my daily ROM and does what I need it to the way I want it to. I'm sharing with everyone but I'm putting myself at your mercy to play nice. So without further ado...

The ROM:

- NE2 Stock Deodexed Base
- Rwilco12's Updater (ability to install mods, apps, etc on the fly)

Alright another NE2 rom!! I will check this out soon as I have some free time. Thanks for the hard work and sharing with everyone.

So..I am still on 4.1.2 stock rooted rom. Never made the jump. But now my gps is acting up. Since this is mostly stock..can I just install this from the recovery or do I need to do all the fixes first?

You'll have to flash the NE2 TAR first. Without the NE2 bootloader the ROM won't boot. I think other than that you shouldn't need to do anything special (besides the usual rooting and flashing a custom recovery).

 

[riironman]

Ok any special recovery is best? I am on the older version of the teamwin .

Does this have the same dialer lag on first use as Chaz's Classic Ne2?

I don't believe so, but I wasn't able to test that as my S5 is currently my primary phone and my N2 isn't activated.

Since you weren't sure, I gave it a try. I'm sorry to report that it does have the same lag. I'm not surprised, since you're using Chaz's as a base. But I was hoping.

Well crap! I was getting all excited to finally have a lag free phone dialer. What's the deal with that anyway? Is it the S5 dialer that's giving the black screen delay on incoming calls? Thanks for sharing this ROM rwilco12!!! I'll definitely give it a try!

Thanks for checking! I'll see if I can figure it out and get it fixed.
