LightlyCleaned/Rooted ROM - OF1
What's going on once again everyone! Man it's been kinda quiet in here... Well, since no one else has released a ROM yet for OF1 I'd release what I threw together. It is rooted, includes BusyBox, and removes everything I didn't want. (Except Visual Voicemail, for those of you who like that kinda thing...)

The Deodexed version contains all updated Base Google and Samsung Apps incorporated into System, thus freeing up data space. I didn't include this in the odexed version because these files aren't odexed xD

PLEASE READ!
WARNING: If considering downgrading back to OC3 or OE2, which you CAN do with this, you will need to flash the FLASH_ME package once more, until I figure out a proper procedure for a full downgrade. This package just contains the OF1 modem (radio), which works with both previous builds, so it's really not a big deal, but just keep this in mind if you ODIN...

We have reached the crossroads. Build OF1 now includes the rollback protection we have seen in other variants ROMs, especially 5.1.1... This is unfortunate because OF1 is also not root-able, at this very moment. What I have done, to maintain being able to rollback, is take the system files and modem from OF1, and retain everything else from OE2. This means that you should be on OE2 already. I can confirm that all important services works fine with this setup. (I will note however that there are errors in the adb log involving Secure Storage, which doesn't mean much since other ROMs actually willingly remove this functionality)

This procedure will almost guaranteed not work for future updates, so we will have to update the bootloader/etc eventually. But today is not that day for me. If another user wants everything up to date (kernel, recovery, bootloader, etc) I can guide them through that, but right now I don't want to take that step myself.

The good news is that you don't have to flash anything with ODIN if you don't want to this time around, granted you are already on OE2. Using FlashFire, you will flash my FLASH_ME package at the same time you flash my ROM.

Step-By-Step
  1. Flash the ROM and FLASH_ME package at the same time using FlashFire.

In the OP: "What I have done, to maintain being able to rollback..."
You can rollback to OC3 or OE2, but it's a bit tricky. If you are going to try it, be sure to ask trailblazer how to proceed. And for the other person who asked about Theme Store, it works just fine.

If the OF1 modem works in OE2, can't you just flash fire back your OE2 backup? unless of course the modem does not work and you would have to flash OE2 modem back as well. Just guessing here. Lol.

If you just flash the tar file in Odin for OC3 or OE2, you will end up with an "update failed" blue screen. When you get the blue screen, flash trailblazer's FLASH_Me modified OF1 file using Odin, and you'll be able to boot, then go back and reflash OC3 or OE2 using Odin, whichever you prefer.

So there's no going back using flashfire alone? He has us flashing the new modem along side the ROM to get it up and running using flashfire only.

You should still be able to rollback, if I'm not mistaken, I believe the bootloader + Kernel are where the rollback protection is built-in. That's why we flash - Only - the modem. Dev did the tedious transferring of system files manually, from OF1. At least that's my understanding.

Does this ROM fix the memory leak issue? Because I have much better RAM usage now. I also have been seeing really great battery life, I'm a heavy phone user and I get 8+ hours out of this.
