[h311sdr0id]

This ROM is dedicated to Scott (scrosler-scottsroms.com) for all his help and support.

PLEASE READ AT LEAST THE "THIS ROM?" BELOW


What is ProjectOdex?

- ProjectOdex has has a few different series currently. There is a Stock
Rooted ROM that includes all of the new deodexed extras (ported over), and a
RallyStock (RS) ROM that is a stripped down/bare bones ROM that has all of the
deodexed extras (ported over) included or as a separate flashable zip.

- ProjectOdex is a project that is dedicated to making odexed ROMs with all the
extras that deodexed ROMs have and with all the speed that odex has to offer.

- ...and GREAT BATTERY LIFE

This ROM?

- This ROM is a stripped-down barebones ROM. It only includes the
absolute essentials and was made to LACK many things. I could simply build a
ROM that is stripped-down with all of the things that I want still included, but
everyone is different.

- LIST OF REMOVED ITEMS HERE (Currently 761 Files and 71 Directories)

- Stericson's NEW and UNRELEASED BusyBox 1.21.1 comes pre-installed and
is properly configured for init.d and is located in both /system/xbin and
/system/bin.

- This ROM (VRUAMDK) includes a COMPLETLEY Unsecure (or Insecure) Kernel (or boot.img).

- This ROM (VRUAMDK) has a loki'd boot. You can find it in the ROM (if you UnZip it). It is called
"boot.lok" and is 7.9MB

- This ROM (VRUAMDK) also has REAL WORKING init.d support. You can literally drag and
drop your scripts into the folder, and it will work right out of the box.

- This ROM also has Infinite Scrolling enabled in the TW Launcher. So you can scroll
through all the HomeScreens Infinitely.

- The ROM, by default has a script in the init.d script in it that underclocks the
CPU to 1674MHz. It is just as snappy with this script. Odex makes everything
run so much smoother and I personally think the CPU is overkill for most things.

- If you dont want the CPU underclocked, just go into your init.d folder with a
file explorer that has root privelages ( "/etc/init.d" ), and delete it.

- The stock restore file (firmware) for this device (SCH-I545) is currently around
2.5GB. I always use my own sources when building ROMs. Meaning that I return
the device to stock, then root it, and then pull/create my own images
(.img's/ext4's) from them. Then I use them as my basis for the ROMs I build.

- The size of this firmware is ALOT compared to the Note2 and the S3. As I was
able to get those ROMs down pretty small, this one was a great task and the
hardest one o have had to work with. I literally removed around 2GB of extra
stuff that was on this device.

- This ROM isn't for everyone. If you enjoy all of the extra bloat and options on
your device, than this ROM isn't for you. UNLESS, you know how to add and
remove apps without downloading them from Google Play.

- I am happy to take requests for flashable zips (to restore things that have
been removed) and to help in anyway possible in aiding you to make this ROM
exactly how you want it.

- This ROM contains init.d scripts. It is always a good idea to remove any and
all init.d scripts when changing to and from ANY ROM (not just ProjectOdex).
Init.d scripts can cause issues when changing to and from ROMs. So just
make sure to wipe out all of your init.d scripts before you flash over this ROM
(or flash this ROM from any other ROM with init.d scripts).

- This ROM is bare, and the idea is for you to have a solid (but small)
foundation to build from. It was made so you can start from scratch and add
only what you want.

OpenSource?

- YES, and the source is HERE

ProjectOdex Flashables? (ONLY ON VRUAMDK FOR NOW)

- In the Themes Section for this device, there is a ProjectOdex flashable
that should take care of some of your odex needs. The current flashable contains
CRT-OFF, removal of all WiFi notifications, QuickSettings buttons, removal of
ongoing IME, bootanimations and the 4-in-1 ShutDown/Restart Menu.

Does this ROM still have the notification toggles and TW camera? If so, that's all I need and this sounds like my kinda ROM! Just the fact that you were able to get this down so small is awesome! If you could make a flashable zip that included the AOSP dialer with this (and notification toggles and TW camera, if those are removed as well), I'd be in heaven.

This ROM does have those both, except for the camera. The camera is fully-functional, except for that the only working modes are "Automatic". The other modes are still shown in the camera, but will FC if used.

Perfect! Is there anyway to add in the other modes? This ROM sounds awesome and I will be flashing it as soon as it's up.

There will be. If you know how to add the apks yourself, you can add them as they are actually separate apps.

That's what I thought. If you'd like, I can make a flashable zip of all the different modes for those that want them. Save you a bit of time and effort. :good:

Also, I'm downloading the beta right now and will let everyone know how it is. Pumped to try out this ROM.

That would be great! Any and all help is welcome and would help me out a lot. I wanted to release this ROM last week, but I still I'm the process of moving and I don't know when I will be done, so I made some time to get it going.

This is an opensource project as well, so feel free to customize and tweak what you would like (and share it too)

No link yet. The beta builds don't have links. You can find them at AFH under my name.

will add to roms list

 

[bkrickles]

Thanks, found it.
Don't want to cross the line but if you plan on releasing the stable build today, I'd probably wait on the beta.
If it's going to be a couple of days, I'm going to try this when I finish my meetings later.
Any clue?
thanks in advance

did you get a chance to flash this yet?
I have one more meeting and then I was going to try the beta or perhaps wait for the stable if it's coming soon.

Sorry, I re-read my last reply to you, and didn't mean to come off like that. I just meant that o didn't post the links because I wanted to stay withing the Thread/Posting Guidelines. And since my source wants up yet, I didn't want to post any links.

Yep, it's running great! Seems very stable! I put together a few flashables.

Zip to add all camera modes: Click Here.
Zip to remove ongoing wifi notification: Click Here.
Zip to add 4 way reboot menu: Click Here.
Zip to add AOSP ringtones and notification sounds: Click Here.

(I didn't make all of these flashables, I just had them on my PC from flashing other ROM's and tried them with this one and they worked fine, but I can't remember who made them so sorry for not giving credit!). All of these have been tested and work fine with this ROM.

OP, you can add these to the OP so whoever else is interested can find them easier.

I also flashed KToonz's latest kernel to go along with this ROM and so far this ROM is running super smooth and cool. TouchWiz is instantly so much nicer without all the Samsung crap.

All the motion and sensor related features are removed, right?

Nope, they still work just fine. Just tested them to make sure and they're all working fine.
