Simple. Stock rom, zipaligned and rooted. Will add some goodies later.

Note: Devs ARE FREE to use this as a base to update their roms. Have fun :good:

[SIZE=+1]MANDATORY PREREQUISITE[/SIZE]

• Flash the ND8 stock tar (DO NOT FLASH WITH MOBILE ODIN. YOU ARE HIGHLY LIKELY TO BRICK IF YOU DO), if you haven't already, before you flash this. Then flash a custom recovery tar through Odin and boot into it

You Sir, are awesome. Thanks.

quick question, so this requires stock nd8 to be flashed, means it'll wipe data anyway right?

Misc Requirements
Flash the ND8 stock tar if you haven't already.


Is this step above necessary? Or do I just follow these instructions?

It's necessary. That's why it's listed as a requirement.


No kitkat touchwiz rom will boot on your device otherwise.

Love your work Cnexus but Im hoping you would provide a little clarification.

1) Since you say this requires installation of the stock Tar Im assuming this will still have Knox built in? specifically in the bootloader I know the apps can be deleted but the bootloader is separate.

2) If I flash the ND8 tar can I downgrade to a previous version ?

 

[bilgerryan]

Never mind

Never mind

Don't click it, wait for it to download when you get to the page that says "Downloading"

1) Yes. There's no way around it if you want to ever run 4.4 touchwiz.

2) You can flash any version rom, but not firmware

CNexus... i remember reading a post a couple days ago about a debloating tool that you were working on for ND8, and was wondering how that's coming along? happy to be on 4.4 but also looking forward to getting rid of some of the unnecessary crap app's!
