This rom is completely stock with the exception of being Rooted, DeOdexed, Debloated, Zipaligned, and lastly having removed all things related to KNOX.

How to Flash This Rom:
***Attention if you proceed your warranty is void. Do it at your own risk. We are not responsible for any broken or bricked devices.***
  • Install TWRP using Flashify (Must be rooted) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
  • Wipe everything! Seriously, it will fail if you do not do this!
  • Flash the rom and enjoy!
  • Special Thanks To: @scrosler for providing an excellent guide for beginners like us to build a stock rom. This would not have been possible without him at all! Also very special thanks to Gunthermic from (Team Average Joes) for teaching us how to troubleshoot and fix problems with my rom. He got us started on this and showed us @scrosler’s guide to build a stock rom. He has helped us so much through this entire process especially by getting the updater scripts working for the rom. Before thanking us thank those two first! :)

Known Issues:
None as of right now!

Donations:
Well since sh0cksquatch is only 16 years old and I (ik4evr) am 14 I do not have a paypal. BUT is you really want to send us a donation how about getting us a Google Play Gift Card Online. (Send us the code in a PM or something) Again, donations are not required at all!

Requests:
If you have any requests please tell us and we will gladly address them!

Notes:
For some reason after installing you have all of the bloatware re installed make sure you wiped everything in TWRP! Also, make sure you are not checking the option to restore data in the OOBE setup.
Wi-Fi may experience a very slight hang only once when you first setup. However, it may not apply to all people.

I was a big fan of ik4evr2's original, would love to try this one out.

The fact that 10.1 ROMs are happening is rad as hell, let's keep the party going!

Hi all,

Sorry for the long wait. I know we said uploading but then we found some glitches in the Camera that made the camera stop working so me and sh0cksquatch were fixing it. Download link should be up today if not then first thing tomorrow! :fingers-crossed: Once again sorry for the long wait!
Haha, you know I was gonna ask if it had the same camera issue your old ROM did. The thing ran like a dream aside from that, good to know you got it fixed!

"Unfortunately, Application Installer has stopped" upon first boot. Trying a second install.

EDIT: second try worked, but I did it without the Cybertronics kernel. Can't say for certain that was the culprit, but it's something to look at.

Are you sure you wiped everything in TWRP? I re installed it on my using Cybertronics Kernel and everything goes fine. Anyways, I have gotten a few pm's about giving options for choosing what to install in Aroma installer like on GigaWatts 2.0 so i'll talk with ik4evr2 and see if we can add that. It will most likely take a bit but in the mean time i'll see about the Application installer crash.

After fiddling a bunch, what I discovered was that when you say "wipe everything" you do in fact mean go into the Advanced Options in TWRP and make sure to select /system as well as /data and /cache.

EDIT: However, once I got it to boot with the Cybertronics kernel, WiFi refused to turn on. Quick dirty reflash to put the stock kernel on and bang, WiFi works again. Didn't have any of the above problems with stock.

When flashing Cybertronics Kernel, sh0cksquatch did mention (when we were working) that wi-fi may take a min or two to turn on first time. Try toggling the switch in the first time setup. If not it should work after you skip through the setup.
