Procedure
-Download Rom, Linked Below, and place on sdcard
-Boot to Recovery, CWM or Philz, and make a backup before doing a full wipe (backups are always a good idea)
-Full wipe is Data(factory reset), /system, cache partition, and Dalvik Cache
-Flash Rom (and bloat package after if you so desire)
-Reboot and let sit after initial setup to let sync/setup. After a bit I then suggest a reboot(not required)

-Downloads-

MK4 LATEST

Venum Ice MK4 theme update Morph

(small icon/theme update, wipe cache and dalvik prior to flashing)

Venum Ice Bloat Package for v2.0
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407581464

(Bloat Zip is flashable, can use to create bloat zip you want. Use 7zip or other on comp to easily delete things from /system/app in Bloat zip prior to flashing if you don't want to flash the whole thing. If you only want a couple apk's simply delete everything BUT those in zip prior to flashing, and don't forget the .odex files for each .apk. I suggest only leaving in the zip what you want, ROM is debloated for a reason! and blaot apk may be outdated)




Based on my STS MK4 rom Here (MK4 Second Post)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121063
Plus LOTS of work

-If you have not already upgraded to MK4 from previous firmware you will need to flash the Wifi Fix via Odin on the comp after Rom boots (link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47817184&postcount=81 big thanks to dr.ketan and Lorjay) after rom flash
-Restoring Apps/Data, and flashing Note 3 Feature Zips is discouraged for stability/features.






BELOW IS FOR PREVIOUS BUILDS. THEMES UPCOMING AS I CAN GET TO THEM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Head over to teamvenum.com for all the latest downloads
Latest is "Venum_Ice_2.0_MC2_ODEXED.zip"
READ INSTRUCTIONS BELOW DL TO GET Mms WORKING, Change in 2.0.

http://www.teamvenum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=534&p=3973#p3973

Or Go to "Roms", then "sleshepic" for download link
For Themes go to Downloads, Sleshepic, Themes, Morphs (for 1.8)
(in process of testing themes on 2.0, morphs are be outdated and cause issues)
Will Update Themes to MC2 2.0 as soon as I can

Always make a nandroid backup before flashing something (especially before a full wipe) for good measure. As with everything on XDA, I nor anyone else is responsible if something happens to your phone.


And here's Great little Tut on how to odex apps and mods from your phone.

off the coast o the kontiki!
Ahh, nice to see a thread over here. Loving the rom, as I keep saying in other thread. Is the wifi hot spot an issue, or is it just not working yet in this release? Thanks again for your hard work & all your time.

I haven't included the modded wifi tether app, it can be had from the forums if you want it. Started getting real sick yesterday so had to put out what I have so far. Won't be getting much done for the next few days. barely got through the OP lol. Will of course be updating as we go.

Pardon the dumb question, but this is the first Samsung device I've owned so I'm not sure of the answer. If I've already flashed the lk8 package can I still flash this rom?

Id have to be doing some real copy and paste work for this to be based on the newest build lol, no its not. An update will take some time, but I will get to it. Always happens that the day you decide to release something an update rolls through - having flashbacks of the E4GT forums...

can we use the latest firmware/modem/kernal with this?
What is it about this that you want it upgraded so quickly lol.

I guess new kernels should be fine, went with the one included because it had been tested well. As far as modems and such im not sure. But if your running the latest firmware you wont be running my Rom

Great rom sir! Only bugs I've noticed so far are that it says "chameleon has stopped working" when it boots (maybe because I'm on latest firmware) and the photos I'm attaching. Can't read certain text boxes. Amazing performance by the way!

Both of those are confirmed apps that are forcing colors. I can't do anything about that unless app Devs stop forcing colors. I've found where it is in the apks, and I've made vrthemes that correct it before. Pretty much any where there's a text issue is a forced app color. They're rare it seems luckily, ive just learned to live with the xda one

As far as chameleon fc'ing on boot, I have not gotten any of the many times I flashed after a full wipe. The Google search app included is one version older than the current one, because I themed it and didnt see the need to update yet. So if you had any issues you didnt wipe properly
