Touchwiz ROM with least bloat - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I do not use any Samsung stuff. Not even the spen. But I like touchwiz's stability and performance. Which of the TW based rom can be flashed with the least bloatware, through AROMA or not, Omega, Aryamod, Civato, Darklord, Audex, ....or others?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649176
Read that roms info .

One person's bloat is another person's essential app. Just flash a ROM you like and debloat it yourself.

try this aroma debloater (has universall installer so works with may TW Lollipop Rom's)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/s4-touchwiz-lollipop-rom-debloater-t3047634
if that one fails to run try this one I fixed for AT&T Note3 (same debloater but with aroma 2.70 All credit to @Kushan02

Omegas install gives you the option to debloat the rom. Closest I got to totally debloated touchwiz.

it can be a lib problem, maybe if you include back it, you have it working...

Deodexed vs odex ROM

I know that deodexed rom can easyly be themed; But is that the only benefit of them? Is there any difference in performance betwen odex and dexodexed Rom?

Yes. Odexed is faster. I've always had two SGS at my disposal. One with stock odexed ROM and stock kernel, and one which I have modified with all the latest "speed improvements". At one time, though, the deodexed "improved" one was almost as fast as the stock one.
Thank for your reply. I will go back to stock odexed rom with a costum kernel
There are also custom odexed now.. Simplicity, Milky's Mod ...
nice and faster than stock, Simplicity is using TW4, Milky's on modded TW3 if i'm not mistaken

You can look at my mods/explanations about ODEXED JVR ROM!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196391
The .odex files are precompiled .dex files which must not be compiled by the dalvik-machine so they are faster. But if you want to modify anything its easier to to it on deodexed files!
But as you can see you can make also mods for ODEXED ROMs so if this MODs are enough for you, you run faster with odexed rom
yup some guys are just to lazy to make odex versions =)

I saw under SGS2 threads that there is an utility that can ODEX your DeODEXed ROM (you need a rooted terminal of course).
Is something like this that can be done for SGS1 as well?
Or in other words: is there a straight-foward (easy) way of odexing a rom.
I'm thinking that I can take my whole /system folder (or only /system/app and /system/framework) and odex them and create a CWM package to replace the existing deodexed files. The only issue is that I did not studied enough the odexing system. I have no idea what utilities will such action require.
Any help from the experienced users around here?
To convert back from deodexed to odexed is not so easy to do.
Some have done it with scripts, some do it in ADB or use programs to do it.
Android has a basic tool called dexopt-wrapper that can create a odex file from a apk or jar file. You still need the classes.dex to be deleted from the apk or jar file when returning to odex.
My experience with it is that it sometimes converts perfectly, but sometimes it does not. Especially converting themed framework files is very hard to convert back.
never had such problems =)

[MOD] UCKH3 AOSP lock screen (Fixed)

Here is a version of AOSP lock for stock UCKH3. Just follow instructions below.
Ok, I fixed the problem with the power menu not displaying. Here is the working version of AOSP lockscreen for stock KH3. The puzzle lock will have to wait for a bit. For some reason I can't get the default non-notification puzzle piece to display so I'll have to look at it some more when I have time.
Second Update; Ok guys, that was totally my stupid mistake. Two mods at one time probably wasn't the best idea. I forgot to edit the cwm script for the lock screen. I completely apologize for that screw up. The files that are attached are the corrected ones and I've tested them several times over just to make sure.
This is a deodex mod and will only work on fully deodexed KH3 roms! I've tested this several times without issue.
Use at own risk, and backup all necessary files. I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Instructions
1. Download kh3aosplock_cwm_fix.zip
2. a. Install from CWM or
b. if you don't yet have the CWM kernel then manually extract the jar file and replace it at /system/framework
3. Restart
Revert back to the default glass lock with the same instructions using kh3glasslock_cwm_fix.zip
Ok, I will looking forward to it
Thank you for this MOD
couldn't get it to work with CWM or manually.

Ok... Lets have another go cause I know this works. I re-uploaded the files with different names so there is no confusion. I grabbed these files directly from my phone when I've reloaded with cwm three or four times each just to make sure. Please give it a try and let me know. Sorry for the problems guys, I'm kind of novice but I'm learning.
Ill check back in in a few hours.
Tried it. Same result. I still get the stock glass lock.

Hey guys, I downloaded Victory1.3 cause I was going to test this out and see why its not working. I happened to look in the framework directory before flashing (thank goodness). The framework jars have not been deodexed. My modded android.policy.jar is a deodexed jar and will not work on non-deodexed roms. I sent Googler a PM to let him know as well. This mod, as well as the quickpanel sound toggle mod, will work without issue on fully deodexed roms KH3 roms. I'll see about making one in the next day or two.
So your two mods will only work on fully deodexed roms???
Deodexing usually always involved framework as well as apps.

Well, the sound toggle mod may work if only apps is deodexed and not framework but I can't say for certain since it is a system apk. Deodexing usually always involves framework as well as apps.

Apps and mod for GT-i9506

Hey I started this post so people can put their apps from anothers versions that work in GT-I9506. Because in apps section are no apps for our phone. So at Start most of these apps and mods are someboby others creations, so let the credits go where do they belong!!! I have installed note 4 weather app in my 4.4.2 it is from albe´s NOTE4 apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/themes-apps/exclusive-note-4-apps-collection-t2882577. S-Voice works too, but it is better to put in system/app. Right permissions 0644/ rw--r--r--. allso pas2001 bootanimations work. albe´s s5 music player works. So namanagraval_93 music player, witch is actually A5 music player:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2697455. Frageti´s Finger howering:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705514. S6 messages work; it´s beatyful and fully working. And many themes work, as long you remember to look that system ui haven´t moded. If that is modded you need nanoid or vr theme back up. And remember to look if you are deodexed or odexed. Example A5 musicplayer works perfectly but I`m de-odexed rom. so I delete odex files from priv.app and app. If you know more put it here. And allways KEEP NANOID. For questions I´m here, but put the apps up.

i think i have understood why it doesn't works, i need to edit android.policy.jar for our 9506, but i don't know how...
i've found another one here now i've restored the nandroid backup prior to te deodexing...so it's just stock with root
this mod, anyway, need a deodexed rom
DeHawk. Allready deodexed and there is autoroot and everything in 1 page. Android policy.jar wont be enough, but I found one promising mod. I'm gonna try to make mod there for you. I'm ripping it from s5 mod for 9506.

in the last thread mentioned, the one for 9505, page 2, they just edited policy to make it compatible to 9500
i don't like to install a custom rom now because i'm scared about eventual bugs...with my old phone i'm finding bugs...now...after a year of use...i don't want that happen again...and i just don't know what this rom can do and what not...when i know the stock rom well, maybe i'll look for something more...
anyway...thank you...
Ok, but you cant use the mod with standard, you need permessive. After you install permessive you can edit your own androidpolicy.jar and download from EX.DeHawk's allready modded secsettings and edit only needed lines. I have used modded rom three years and if rom ok, no bugs. And in DeHawk,s rom is no bugs. It's better than original.

ok i've taken a policy from here and i used the file from the 9505 mod, i have deodex but no permissive, now i see the settings, i can activate it, but it doesn't work :crying:
you are talking about permissive but is not mentioned in the threads of this mod, anyway now i try to force permissive with an app and i'll report back...
ps. now is permissive, doesn't work.
it'd strange that works on every s4 models but the 9506...
Yes that is proplem with this phone. We know that it works with every other... I'm gonna try something and report back. It should work with those modifications.

You need to download tw camera app for cm. There are many versions to choose from just look it up in here xda.
And for washwash. I just got back from holiday, and no success yet. I made one version and it didn't work. Starting to think that its too mutch for my talents. I have one more option to try. Porting it from some rom.
But if it's keyboard that you need, that is easy: just install LG keyboard with onehand options. But I check out the porting from rom. After when I found rom where it's working.

i've found this it's for E300S, the eastern version of the 9506, i tried to download it from here with the help of google translator but i can't successfully complete the download, only around 25% and then it stop
anyway i wish i've never bought it, there is just nothing for that phone, even the usb mass storage is bugged as hell.
ps. no, the eastern variant is the E330S
Tuo rom johon viittasit ei käy meidän puhelimeen. E330S on hiukan erilainen ohjelmistostaan ja siinä on myös jotain pientä rauta eroa. ja tuossa romissa poistetaan tw rom. koitan edelleen löytää sinulle jotain muuta. Tiedoksi; GT-I9505g on lähin versio verrattuna meidän puhelimeen.
Sorry that aswer. Wrong language... That rom what you was refering is not straight compatible with gt-i9506. There is some difference in software and there is some difference in hardware too. Arter97 can tell you more. And that skt rom removes normal tw-rom. There is awailable xploded one-hand mode. Allso when googled one hand mode for s4 you get one hand mode for 4.4.2. Not tamida's version. But it wont install. I tested. But when I extracted it and installed it one by one with root explorer I got it working.

What is the closest TW rom to AOSP

Hi Guys,
I ABSOLUTELY HATE TW lol

And can you remap the buttons and use a dark theme ?
I would love to us a aosp rom but i want the good quality camera and to be able to use s health

Well, the best way to do this, is of course by rooting your phone and installing any TW-based custom rom you like. Debloated, deodexed and including any samsung app you like to install during the aroma installation process.

You should try out resurrectionremix, which is real aosp. As for touchwiz, you can only use a custom launcher, a darker theme and install Google Apps, although that will be all you can change on touchwiz.

Regarding camera quality, you can use htc camera on AOSP roms. Ultra fast focus and great quality. The only problem is it crashes here and then..although o hadn't installed it for a while now. So it may be even more stable on newest nightlies. Otherwise it is the best.
Use Dual Boot Patcher app to install ResurrectionRemix in dual boot with your TW-based ROM. If you want to take good photos, reboot into the TW ROM, and for everything else, use RR ROM

Ironman Rom issue after installing ASOP S7E

Hi guys
Need some help. I flashed Ironman and used it for a while. 100% perfect. The not the beta but release. After that i flashed Android 8 Oreo ASOP to test. I then decided to move back to Ironman rom.
But this is the issue. The rom installs fine etc. But then after setup the system UI crashes? I have tried a few different wipes etc etc but still does not want to work.
I flash Batman and the phone is fine? I am currently using batman but would like to use the Ironman rom?
