You don't have to use Shoot Me, press the home and power button to take a screen shot

PowerAmp is a must have for better sound. It sounds amazing.

OP, isn't Wireless tether sort of redundant since we already have portable hotspot available on the phone already?

I've got something to ask, which battery saver application is the best? I'm using android booster, memory booster, battery widget, task killer advance, ADW Launcher EX and juice defender ultimate... I'm afraid this is too much, so I decide to uninstall some...

Here are 2 useful apps I recommend:
Samba Filesharing - easily access the device over wifi as a Windows shared folder (much faster than FTP)
Jota Text Editor - good text editor with monospace font and automatical charset recognition (displays e.g. Windows texts with German umlauts correctly)
(As a new user, I'm not allowed to post links, so you have to google yourself.)

Are you really using all these apps simultaneously? I'm only using the free version of Juice Defender with the 'Balanced' setting which makes the phone go online every 15 minutes to let the apps sync their data in the standby mode. This reduces the battery consumption for wifi from 32% to ~6% which gives at least 25% more battery life. Nevertheless, I have to charge the battery each day, but at least it gives me a bit of extra time to get through the day.

I only use:
Alarmdroid
Blacklist Pro
Facebook
Millennium
Root Explorer

Does widget locker consumes considerable amount of battery? and chainfire3d fullyworking?

Security: I bought both wavesecure and juicedefender plus, and installed where's my droid for times when I forget where I left my phone
Launcher: Go Launcher Ex. It's idiot-proof.
The usual: titanium backup, astro, autokiller, dolphin browser HD
twitter: twicca
facebook: friendcast. facebook android takes forever to load.
integrated chatting app: imo messenger
I also installed jango (music streaming), pulse (news feed), bought smart keyboard pro (cos I liked it and didn't like the popups for the trial version, though that was the only difference between trial and pro), jorte (organiser) and the google navigation app (modified, because nav is not available in my area).

Which is the best explorer for android thru which i can send multiple files thru bluetooth

The Ones 1 Use...
1. Launcher: the stock LG HOME launcher: because i find the HOME pretty decent. it has the "G" sensor working and i also love the stock widgets.
2. MUSIC:i use the LG Stock Music Player because of the widget, dolby digital equalizer, lock screen pull down control and the notification control . additionally i use UBER MUSIC (with the metro skin and clear widgets skin becasue i like the seamless fluidity of the app and the skin)
3. GAME: only two games: a) BLOOD & GLORY-for serious gaming b) PEGGLE -for casual time pass
5. BROWSER: the stock browser because of the best flash integration.
4. OTHER APPS: set cpu, root explorer, Simple Task Manager, Ambient Time LWP.

Q&A
1) How to install?
Do it at your own risk. Remember to do a nandroid backup before going further.
You need a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 International(GT-I9300) with stock android v4.3, boot into recovery mode, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe battery stats. Then, choose "Install zip from SDcard", located your zip file and start install this rom. I recommend not to change the default selection of apps when you prompt to "choose apps to install"(Reason: To decrease the RAM usage and you may install it from Play Store, Samsung Apps Store or others third party store.)
2) Why I don't have all the apps?
Choose wisely from aroma setup and select the apps that you want to install only.
3) Why some of the apps not shown in the app drawers?
Some of the apps is just a link to the main app and provide shortcut within the main app. For example: Gallery app can link to Collage app and it only available when you select multiple pictures and hit the menu button. Under menu, there is an option to "Create collage".
4) How can I get the Travel Wallpaper for my lockscreen?
You can set it by press and hold on empty space of your home screen to get to the instant setting menu or hit the menu button on home screen -> Select wallpaper or go into Settings -> My device -> Display -> Wallpaper -> Lock screen. From the pop up setting menu, choose "Travel Wallpaper" to enable it.
5) How to change to the default S3 camera?
Simply reflash the ROM, and uncheck all of the apps and check on S3 camera and press next to start install and reboot...
6) Why I can't paste the files given to system/app?
It is due to the limited size of system partition which break down your paste operation to system. You can manually delete the apk from here and make sure you are remount the system to rewritable (R/W) before modify the system apk and files.
7) I use My Files, but I can't go into system/app?
You can use Root Explorer or other file manager to browse to these system files and you need to grant permission for these apps and remount as rewritable to modify your system.
8) Why I get this notice "Your system is modify, system update is unavaible..." when I enable "System update" from notification panel?
This is due to the SuperUser apk which has modify your system kernel and it is preinstalled in this Rom. If you want to unroot your device, then you need to go into SuperSU app and fully unroot it using the setting option in it.
9) When I choose to install certain recommended apps like dictionary from Optical Reader, the Samsung Apps give me this message "Product does not exist in this store(4002)"?
This is because there are some specific apps which are mainly distribute for S4 users only.
10) Why the S Memo do not sync memo from my Google and Samsung account?
S Memo in this rom only can sync memo that are created by using this version only.
11) Group Play in this Rom does FC or not?
All of the functions are working now including music sharing.
12) Does this rom flash over my current modem?
NO. This rom work flawlessly with modem ME7 in latest leak stock rom.
13) Google Service drain my battery at peak level.
It is normal when you have sign in to Google account and enable the restore options. But after a few moment (according to your cloud data stores on Google cloud or drive), the battery usage will be back to normal.
14) Why there are two Gmail widgets in the widget drawer?
If you search Google, there are a lot of these problem, you just need to do a hot boot and the things will get it back to normal after all.
15) How do I know that my rom is fully downloaded or not?
Use this MD5 checker to check whether the rom is complete or not...
Copy the MD5 below to your clipboard, extract the zip, open md5.exe and browse to the rom to start the verification of the rom...
View attachment 2270720
MD5 of Glance S4 v2.5: 6c0af2aaba21205aee560eaf24152a71
PS: MD5 checker is a Windows software, so download via PC, extract to desktop and open MD5.exe to start verify the rom...
16) How do I know whether the apps in the aroma is compulsory to install or not?
Apps list in Aroma:
[System]
Clock widgets, S Translator, Yahoo widgets, Smart Briefing widget, Phone-Contacts, Messaging, Calculator, Keyboard, My Files, Music, Job Manager, Downloads,
Settings, Clock, Accuweather widget, Camera S3 and S4, build.prop tweaks, Ads. Block.
PS: Apps which are in bold are those important system apps
[User]
Other than the apps mention above, all are user apps, you can uninstall these apps through the app drawers (for those appear in the drawer only), those which are not shown, you need to uninstall them manually. Additional note: Widget can be uninstall as well from the widget drawer.
PPS: If you not install something, then you will probably miss something. That is natural rules. e.g. S4 features and tweaks category is compulsory to check the checkbox from 1 to 5. For those apps and categories that have mark with " * " symbol and been checked, don't try to ignore them, you must install them, otherwise don't complaint that you didn't get this, didn't get that, can't select wallpaper or blah blah blah...you have been WARNED.

mega has trebile speed, It is always says dropped connection!,
what is copy?
I couldn't upload directly to dropbox too, after 50-70% (for about 4 hours) it just says upload error!
I'm now using dropbox application to sync, if it get's currect then I might be able to put it in dev host too
stay tuned
EDIT: DONE!!!!!!!!!

Link download added at second post,
Please wipe your data manually before installing and also please choose Locked Bootloader even if you're on unlocked bootloader
Have fun and try to press power button continuously after installing this rom, this might give you the feeling you have some energy drink
Sorry guys, I have forgot to put the right jars, I have added a fix version, just flash it after you flash the main rom zip, thanks.

wow
Thanks for the great work
Hope to see more improvements

copy is yet another cloud service like dropbox and mega, you start with 15GB, you get 5GB extra if you get invited by another use like me here is a link, and every use you invite you get another 5GB, i already have 60GB for free, which is quite nice.

New link added,
This should works now,
Sorry for delay and bootloop

Anyone tried this??
I bought ZR 1 month back and still not fed up with the stock ROM..
When I am finally fed up.. I am definitely gonna try this
I tried both Xperia and MIUI in my last S3.

new link added,
it is now stable
have fun

this is definitely interesting. Always been a fan of MIUI. In the OP you mentioned all the stock sony apps such as walkman and album working, do you mean they are included in the rom or have to download separately? If included, does the MIUI music shortcut points to walkman or the MIUI music still?
Also, your title says UB/LB, since the rom doesn't have kernel, how can phone with locked bootloader flash this?

Sony apps included you can select whether you want it or not in aroma, miui album and music and video is always there and you can have both with no conflict, (lockscreen works with walkman perfectly)
This rom needs stock kernel, I didn't put any kernel but a doom kernel or any stock based kernel can be flash alongside this, locked bootloaders can't flash kernels that is why the rom is suite them, unlock bootloader do not need to flash kernel but still can flash their own stock based, (My bootloader is locked and havn't flashed any kernel by the time I'm writing this) this rom is NOT cm based so it won't work with cm kernels, also it doesn't have cm bugs like headset bug,
Hope to get all of your questiom

Sorry guys, dropbox blocked me for bandwidth reason and they ask me to buy some upgrade package, which I can't for can't having credit card or any online shopping card reasons, So I'm uploading it to copy for the moment and it will be done in about 4 hours from now on (my internet upload speed is as low as 32 KB per sec at it's best!!)
will update the post after it's done

[ROM][5.1][PEREGRINE][STOCK]Debloated, GApps-free XT1039 ROM (update - 29.02.2016)

Introduction
This ROM is based on lost101's work, that you can read about here. I used his Retail EU 5.1 ROM (Optimized) v1.1 for XT1039 as a base of my own "project" of further debloating and removing as much Google's stuff as possible. The main aim is to use clean and stable Android and improve privacy. My work is simply removing things from system/app and system/priv-app folders and testing if everything still works, and by "works" I mean that I can use my phone as a daily driver and depend on it.
Disclaimer
Even if everything works 100% fine for me I take no responsibility for anything that happens to anyone else's device after flashing my ROM. If you want to try it, do it on your own risk.

Flashing
1. Boot into TWRP
(2. Backup)
3. Format data (Wipe>Format data>yes)
4. Transfer ROM to SD card/Local storage
5. Wipe>Factory reset
6. Install
7. Reboot
Remove SIM card before initial boot. This is to avoid download of any automatic "updates" using your mobile data during initial setup of your device.
Initial boot and initial setup (v0.9 & 0.92 only)
a) Skip connecting to WiFi network
b) On "About your privacy" screen go to privacy settings and disable the following:
- Help improve Motorola products (enabled by default)
- Enhanced device support (enabled by default)
c) Skip adding your name
d) On "Google services" screen disable the following:
- Use Google's location service (enabled by default)
- Help improve location services (enabled by default)
- Help improve your Android experience (enabled by default)
Initial boot and initial setup (v1.0_beta only)
No initial setup as Setup Wizard has been removed
Post-installation setup (v0.9 & 0.9.2 only)
1. Turn WiFi off and go to Google Settings:
a) in "Ads" tab opt out of interest-based ads and reset advertising ID
b) in "Location" tab turn location on - when "Improve location accuracy?" pop-up appear choose "DISAGREE" and turn location back off
c) in "Security" tab disable "Allow remote lock and erase", "Improve harmful app detection" and "Scan device for security threats" options (all enabled by default). These steps are essential if you want to disable Google Play Services
2. Go to phone's Settings:
a) Language & input > Spell checker (only ver 0.9. For later versions see post #2):
- while it's on by default enter Google Spell Checker settings and disable "Look up contact names" option (enabled by default)
- Turn Spell checker off
b) Language & input > Google Keyboard (only ver 0.9. For later versions see post #2):
- in "Accounts and Privacy" tab disable "Improve Google Keyboard" option (enabled by default)
- in "Preferences" tab disable "vibrate on key press" and "sound on key press" options (it saves some battery)
- in "Text correction" tab disable "Block offensive words", "Auto-correction", "Show correction suggestions", "Personalised suggestions","Suggest contact names" and "Next-word suggestions" options (all enabled by default)
c) Sound & notification > other sounds:
- disable "Dial pad tones", "Screen locking sounds", "Touch sounds", "Vibrate on touch" options (all enebled by default) to save some battery
d) WiFi > Advanced > disable "Scanning always available" option. It will save your battery and protect your privacy as some sensitive data (eg. saved network names and addresses) is being broadcasted by your device. If you want to keep scanning on you can protect yourself with eg. PryFi
e) Wireless & networks > More > Emergency broadcast - turning them off will save some RAM and battery life
f) Apps > All > disable the following:
- Browser message
- Downloads
- Google account manager*
- Google one time init*
- Google partner setup*
- Google play services*
- Google services framework*
- Messenger
- Motorola one time init*
- Motorola services*
- Photos
- Setup*
- Setup Wizard*
*In case you're wondering why they were not removed from the ROM - they're all being used during initial boot and setup. If you remove them from the ROM the system won't start. If you remove them from the system/priv-app folder after installation you won't be able to do factory reset.
g) Open Dialer and go to Settings > Advanced > turn "Nearby places" off
4. Use Simple Explorer to install all the apps you want. I'd suggest installing firewall and setting it up before inserting SIM card and turning WiFi back on to avoid any unnecessary and unwanted downloads. I personally use AFWall+ (XDA thread, download)
Post-installation setup (v1.0_beta only)
After your device boots you will find the Setup Wizard is not launching. This is normal since all GApps have been removed. Everything seems normal and ready to use, however some crucial UI functions (Home button and quick settings) are disabled - this is also normal. Home button is disabled to prevent user escaping Setup Wizard before it's completed - same for Quick Settings - you can't access them before setup is done. In normal situation unlocking UI functions is handled by Setup Wizard and GmsCore services, but since they've been removed from this ROM you have to do it manually:
1. Go to Settings > About phone > tap Build number 7 times to unlock Developer options > back > Developer options > enable USB debugging
2. Connect the phone to PC and execute the following commands with ADB:
Code:
adb shell
su
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
insert into global (name, value) VALUES('device_provisioned', 1);
insert into secure (name, value) VALUES('user_setup_complete', 1);
.quit
reboot
Your UI is now restored and your phone is ready to use. Please refer to setup instructions for versions 0.9 and 0.9.2 for general ideas what can/should be done next.
Known issues
- FC of Language & input menu in Settings after going back from "Language", "Spell checker" and "Google Keyboard"
Battery life
I'm using ver 1.0 beta (I guess it's not beta anymore as it proved to be working and stable). The battery life is exceptional. Overnight drain is around 0.1-0.2% per hour so you can expect your battery to go down no more than 1-2% when you sleep. BetterBatteryStats (big thanx to chamonix for the free XDA edition of his app) shows that my device stays in deep sleep for about 98% of time. Please note I've got all sync services disabled as well as wifi scanning and all radios but phone (which is in 2G mode all the time), I also use Greenify and the biggest battery drainer seems to be Gravity Screen I use to automate screen on/off with flip cover. Don't be surprised if your phone stays on in standby mode for more than 3 weeks if left in one place with good network signal (vs. official 8.8 days).
In everyday use, which for me means having the phone on 24/7, making a few calls a day and some 1 hour of WiFi/4G internet browsing daily I usually have to charge it once every 3-4 days. Please note I try to keep my battery between 90-10%, so I rarely charge it 100%.
Life after Google
You can try using Micro GmsCore to access Play Store content, and here are some alternatives:
1. Interesting and useful apps in F-Droid store:
- Adaway (system-wide ad blocker)
- AFWall+ (very nice firewall. I use it in whitelist mode because it blocks internet access to all apps by default)
- Etar (calendar. Won't work without Google calendar service and account)
- K-9 mail (bit ugly but awesome mail client)
- Open camera (stock camera replacement)
- Wifi automatic (turns wifi off when you lock the screen which saves battery and improves security. Bugged a little and randomly disables wifi from time to time)
- SMSsecure (messaging app with encryption)
- 920 Editor (text editor)
- Document Viewer (self explanatory)
- Network Log (self explanatory)
2. Other interesting and useful apps around the web (mostly on XDA):
- ApkTrack (app updates tracker),
- Calc+ (calculator),
- CoolTool (CPU and RAM usage and other info display),
- DejaOffice (office app that looks a bit outdated, but it's the only calendar app to work without Google services I found so far),
- Disconnect.me (private web searches; the app FC right after starting it, probably due to lack of Google search services available)
- DriveDroid (turns the phone into Linux live USB),
- ES File Explorer (file explorer),
- Firefox (web browser),
- Gravity Screen (Turning screen off and on without using physical power button),
- Greenify (apps hibernator),
- KWGT (custom widget maker),
- LiveBoot (Chainfire's app that replaces boot animation with system log display),
- maps.me (open source google maps alternative),
- MiXPlorer (file explorer),
- MoboClean (permissions manager),
- Naked Browser (web browser),
- NetGuard (no-root firewall),
- NeutriNote (notes),
- Nova Launcher (launcher)
- Open Camera (same as F-Droid app),
- Parasol (community based permission manager),
- PryFi (WiFi security),
- QuickPic (gallery),
- Recently ("close all apps" button in recents window),
- Recordr (sound recording app),
- Servicely (services management. Think twice before installing and using it - developer's G+ site, developer's APKMirror downloads
- SD Maid (cleaning tool),
- Super Backup (apps, sms, call logs, etc. backup),
- Titanium Backup (data backup),
- True phone (dialer),
- VLC (media player),
- WifiKill (WiFi killer),
- Wifi Protector (WiFi security, anti-wifikill),
- Xposed (sdk22 arm version is the right one for XT1039)
You can find more interesting apps and links on this XDA forum
3. Software that may help you secure your device - sufficientlysecure.org
4. More security software - Secure Mobile Apps
5. XDA Labs (alpha version of XDA app store)
6. Firefox browser add-on that lets you download apk files directly from google play store (without Google account connected to your device) in case you can't find desired app anywhere else.
7. Alternative app-stores, .apk mirrors, etc. - use at your own risk. So far I only tried Amazon's store - the pro is that it exists, the cons are that it requires tons of permissions, has very unfriendly interface, takes a lot of space, and the apps you download will only work as long as the store's app is installed.

Notes
ver 1.0_beta
It's still being tested, but so far everything looks OK. The main goal has been achieved - GmsCore (aka the cancer of Android) has been removed and stock system turned into almost-AOSP state.
ver 0.9.2
- Further debloating and cleaning unnecessary files;
- Simple Explorer replaced with MIxplorer which offers more functions;
- Google Keyboard replaced with open source AnySoftKeyboard which is lighter and not made by Google. After installation go to keyboard settings (I suggest using app drawer icon to avoid FCs in Language and input menu) and in "Special dictionaries" uncheck "User-dictionary" and "Contacts dictionary" options. In "Auto dictionary" sub-menu choose "Do not learn new words" if you don't want the keyboard learn/spy on you.
If you want to uninstall these apps, use file explorer with root access and delete system/app/AnySoftKeyboard and/or system/app/MIxplorer and reboot.

I flashed this beacuse I wanted an even cleaner rom, but I still want to have the google play store. I don't seem to be able to activate it somehow.

Thanks for trying it. The store app was removed from this rom. If you want to use it you need to install it yourself.

If disabled, enable the following services in this order:
- Google services framework*
- Google play services*
- Google account manager*​
Enable a service, reboot and test app downloading.

I managed to remove all GApps from the rom and make it work by changing build.prop entry "ro.setupwizard.mode=OPTIONAL" to "ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED". It's the way to bypass Setup Wizard on initial boot where all the core GApps are needed. The only problem is that system UI stays in Setup Wizard mode where Home button, quick settings and pretty much all the notifications are blocked which is not very handy, especially disabled Home button. There is a way around it, eg. an app like "Button saviour", but it would be much better to restore UI functions without any bloatware. If anyone has any idea how to do it, please share.

Hi, i have a question. Is it possible to do a rom for our moto g 4g 1gen with the moto g 4g 2gen's marshmallow official update ? Thanks

Honestly, I'm not sure. I always used some auto data switch that was turning radio off when screen was off, so I wasn't even aware of such bug.

Now I know this is an old thread.
Obviously the link to the roms are dead but I do have lost101 rom nd followed what you removed. But I don't know what sqlite3 file to add because that link is alo dead. what sqlite file am I looking for to add to the bin folder?
I am trying to create a mp3/audiobook only player.

Story
04.01.2019 to 11.12.2019
I switch from the LightROM (Oreo) to LightROM (Pie 11.17.2019) with custom TGP kernel, because I had bootloop with the stock kernel.
12.16.2019 Installed the Dr.Ketan ROM on Android 10 Q02 28.11.2019, and this are the apps that I disable so far with titanium backup PRO
I will continue updating with feedback from you guys and for any other post that I can get my hands on.
