With that little bit out of the way:
Hi folks,
This is for all who want a Deodexed version of the stock 4.3 MK2 ROM with some performance boost and battery savings. The best of both worlds.
You MUST be on the MK2 or NAE modem when running this ROM. If not WiFi will be broken. Visit unknownforce's thread here to flash it.

The reason it's easy to theme is due to the deodexing. Look up odexed vs deodexed ROMs and all will become clear. The battery life so far is just fine. I have only been running it a few hours on my phone for testing.
To be clear there are no performance mods in this ROM. There are no battery mods to this ROM. IT's 99% stock. The only mods to it were the deodexing and rooting and the removal of knox. And as I noted I did fix an issue with Story Album closing. I don't plan on making too many mods to this (if any). I want this to be used as a base for other Devs to use for their ROMs.

You should flash this with Philz Recovery (stock CWM *might work* as Philz is CWM based). I put a link to it in the OP. I do not recommend flashing this with TWRP for now.
This includes the stock kernel. WiFi is working.
No hotspot mod. No overclock as this is the stock kernel. This is stock rooted.
..and ill and ill adk this 1) can i flash a mja kernal with this.
. and 2) what does this update change, or add?

ROM Firmware Required: 10.26.1.18 bootloader
Based On: CyanogenMod 11 AOSP
Version Information
Status: Beta

How to Upgrade!
HOW TO FLASH
Make sure you have prepared by copying the ROM zip file to your internal SD Card or external SD Card first.
Please Unlock using the Asus Unlock Tool first found here.
Note installing and running this app will wipe your device and void your warranty.
You can flash CWM 6.0.4.7 using the instructions here.
Direct File Link is here.
To flash a recovery you need to have the fastboot.exe file and cwm recovery.img file in the same folder.
Right click + shift on the folder they are in and choose open command prompt here
Boot into the Bootloader by either booting with the Power and Volume Down Buttons held down until you get the 3 icons or by typing the following into the command prompt.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then type the following commands to flash the recovery image:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Start the recovery by making sure the RCK icon is highlighted (use volume down to move) and push volume up to select.
If you need to move to the latest bootloader then manually install the 10.26.1.18 firmware from the Asus website.
In recovery choose install zip - install zip from /sdcard and maneuver to the folder you put the rom.zip (vol up and down) and select it using power button.
The AROMA installer will start - as we have no touch screen drivers in CWM yet you will have to use VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN to navigate and POWER to select. Choose as many options as you require
Finally reboot when finished.

BIG RED WARNING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY ARE MISSING ROOT!
You are not. The way CM11 works is root is not enabled by default after a clean install. Here is how you enable it.
1. Enable developer options by clicking the build number 7 times in settings - about tablet
2. Go to developer settings
3. In the first section click Root access and change to Apps and ADB
Enjoy your rooted rom
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD

Good work! [emoji2]
Ballin out of control.
You must have read my mind, was going to ask if you could add options for disabling fsync and journalling. Awesome work, cant wait to test.
PS - How is dolphins performance? Now that stock is flash player free i will need a new browser
In this ROM don't work Home button and express settings in status bar. Maybe because I flash it without full wipe, only cache and dalvik cache. But perfomance is greate :good:

Thanks...I'm downloading:good:
Rom is great, installation went without a glitch. Some apps unchecked did install anyway (ie News & Weather) but that was also the case in 4.3 if I remember well.
The only problem I have at the moment is to load Google Agenda Everything seems to have synced well but the agenda. I get a message that "Sync is currently experiencing problems,. It will be back shortly" , so it might not be related to the rom.
Question/comment: I understand that you did not include lucius.zen's tweak with regard to screen unresponsivness?
edit: can I add it to 95CleanTWEAKS
Anyhow, this a great rom. Chapeau!:good:

Yes I agree it doesn't seem to help the cmbase as much. I need to look into the kernel to see how it is used.

thanks for your quick response. I still have this morning a problem with my google account (sync error with agenda). I'd like to know if anyone else has that problem?
Thanks. So should flashing this over cm11 be fine?

The OP would recommend that you do a full wipe before flashing, to get the most out of this ROM that's just what we advice.. :good:
If you do have issue, don't be surprised if that's one of the first things your asked... 'Did you do a full wipe' ??
Thx Josh

Ya I took the risk.
Not recommended (Google play, I'd issues, home button not working)
Sure is much faster though.
Still going through the process of getting everything all setup again. So far all is sweet.
And Props to the new boot animation, simple but very clever.

I have a similar problem with Google Calendar not syncing. And yes, I did a full wipe. I've also tried removing the Calendar from the ROM (both manually and through a re-install) and installing instead from the Play store.
But the ROM overall is very responsive.

TF701T USERS: YOU MUST BE UNLOCKED, ON THE ASUS STOCK KK 4.4.2 BOOTLOADER VERSION 11.4.1.29 OR 11.4.1.30 AND HAVE A WORKING RECOVERY - TWRP 2.8.x.x BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM.
I recommend you do a full wipe if coming from another ROM source (CM11 , etc). Choose Wipe in TWRP and Factory Wipe. If you UNLOCK it will also force you to WIPE. You can upgrade (dirty flash) over Asus Stock, CROMi-X 6.x or CROMi-X 7.x but please WIPE if you have any issues.
You can restore data from Titanium Backups but please do not restore system data or apps from a previous version or another ROM if you want a nice clean smooth upgrade experience.
If you are coming from another source like Cyanogenmod or AOSP then you must wipe first. No excuses.
Please Unlock using the Asus Unlock Tool first found here.
Note installing and running this app will wipe your device and void your warranty.
Finally copy the ROM to a folder on your internal SD and flash it from Recovery, and reboot
Don't forget to do a Nandroid Backup first and give the ROM 5 mins to stabilise!

Now final build Enjoy!
hey the preview build and final build was named differently right? i click the preview build link and install right before you changed the link
Nice, thanks for all of your hard work.
I just noticed I forgot to install the what's next and I must have selected the wrong resolution so I was going to re-install anyways.
Thanks again.

Stay with stock the others are a bit small as they were designed for a 1280x800 screen. When I tried to resize them they corrupt for some reason. You can easily switch back to another by just reinstalling the rom.
flashed over you modified stock, no problem!

might need to wipe, your color tweak didnt apply
This ROM is smooth and fast, thank you for another great piece of work from, Sbdags.
However, the battery status seems not reporting it is charging when I plug in to the wall jack. I had xposed and gravity box installed, so I uninstalled both of them, but it is the same. But my tablet gets charged just fine.
Any one encountered the same problem?
@sbdags, i dont think there is a corresponding DPI for 1600*1000p and 1280*800p
and how do you get that gray color pulldown
Thank you sdbags for the greate work. I really like that the blue is gone and all the performance tweaks too.
Unfortunately, the same problem is here with the usb port as after applying a fixer on stock. When there are a few files on the usb drive (videos, documents etc) the pad starts reading them and at some point it cannot read the rest of them no matter what. Trying to open them gives
read failed: EIO (I/O error)
java.io.IOException
The drive's ok as I can read all files on stock or PC.
By the way I tried manualy correcting permissions.xml on stock to let the system rw the usb and it gave me the same issue.
This is with 2560 x1600 resolution and 320 dpi. [emoji12] View attachment 2885962

if you choose another RES the DPI is overwritten. Sorry but standard DPI changing goes out of the window once you start messing with the res
The gray pull down is included by default. What does yours look like?
hello! and thanks for the great work again!!
i encounter a serious problem with the new release when passwords are asked. the easiest way to reproduce is with a new wlan connection.
when you enter the password hidden there is a wrong keyboard layout, for example a ! (shift+1) will produce a +.
i tried dirty flash first, the wiped and flashed again, still the same.
with the dirty flash if you activated the 'show password' option everything went well, after the wipe (at the initial setup screen) even this didn't help.
another thing (already with the old release too): in firefox the pages are always displayed a little larger than the screen. any idea why this is so?
regards,
andy

Hi Andy,
1. This is an issue with the dock I'm guessing? This is the way Asus designed it as they want you to use their soft keyboard which sets the layout of the dock. If you use another soft keyboard then the dock reverts to US layout. The fix is to use the keyboard manger I included with the rom and make sure to set asus keyboard when docked.
If that wasn't your issue I have no idea!
2. Ask firefox please. Chrome, dolphin, and the stock browser all render pages fine. Or send me a link to check. If you lowered the res or dpi then it could be that causing your issue but I don't use firefox so do their support for them.

Hey guys! You may ask yourself what this rom is about and what you can expect from it, so it's basically something similar to the SuperMan-Rom on the Galaxy S7/S7 edge, but based on the latest and greatest software of the s8+. I was able to make a full port of the s8 (with almost all libs being s8) and I also made a backport of the latest Mali GPU driver (if you install this rom, you will be one of the first to be have a ported Mali GPU!).
! It has many custom featuers, you will find it below in the feature list :thumbup:
As you maybe know I'm a little fanboy from samsung, means I really love the stock look of the UI and the rom will always be based on most recent version from samsung, current base used is G955FXXU1AQK7 (compatible with S7 and S7e)
I wish you much fun reading through the features and while using this rom! Enjoy
So this rom should be installed by anyone loving to use a rom close to stock BUT with many mods inside aroma/rom control.
Also I'd like to make the already fast galaxy s7 even more faster as it already is! Let's see if we can reach this goal
Nobody is allowed to take stuff from my rom without asking me! Thank you.
IF YOU FOLLOW MY STEPS BELOW, YOU WILL MAY LOSE YOUR WARRANTY, KNOX WILL DISPLAY 0x1! I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGED DEVICE!

Rom review by @shark jungle:
How to install the rom:
For advanced users:
0. Make sure to have a backup somewhere on external storage
1. Make sure to be on most recent TWRP, bootloader and modem
2. Flash the rom
3. If you need VoLTE or Wifi Calling, flash your correct carrier CSC
4. Done
For normal users:
0. Boot your phone, enable OEM unlock in developer settings
1. Flash TWRP with Odin (if you don't have odin, download it here), following this thread S7e TWRP until it works correctly (to access download mode, press home+volume down+power on while phone is turned off)
2. Make sure you are using most recent bootloader and modem, latest one available here on Android File Host
3. Now boot into TWRP by pressing home+volume up+power on while phone is turned off
4. If TWRP asks you about allowing system to be edited, swipe yes to confirm
5. In TWRP, go to wipe, format data (a keyboard will pop up now), type "yes" (this will wipe all your data, make sure to have a backup!)
6. After this, reboot recovery and start the rom installer
7. Select your preferences in my aroma installer
8. If you selected to auto update bootloader in aroma, the installer will reboot automatically
9. You can still install my CSC selection if you are customer of a carrier which is not supported by default CSC inside the rom
10. Wait till the rom boots up
11. After setting up, open BatMan Settings Free and let the app apply my default settings!
12. Enjoy the rom!

- Updated all libs from s7 with latest base libs from DQG1
- Game tools: I still couldn't figure out why the systemui now even crashes. Samsung integrated the navbar even more deeply into the system this time.

Questions and Answers
Basic Questions:
Q: How to get into Download Mode?
A: Power off your phone, than hold: home + volume down + power on button until you see the download mode.
Q: How to get into Recovery Mode?
A: Power off your phone, than hold: home + volume up + power on button until you see the recovery mode.
Q: My Phone is stuck at boot and doesn't start, what to do??
A: Update your bootloader, modem and TWRP recovery. Also make sure you have made a fresh install of the rom. Bootloader and Modem can be found in the OP. Another problem can be that you are didn't decrypt your phone. To fix this read below how to disable encryption.
Q: Do I need to update bootloader and modem after every update?
A: It's recommend to update your bootloader and modem everytime there is a new base yes. The developer will tell you if necessary on every rom changelog.
Q: I get verification failed at start up!?!? My phone is broken now?
A: Yes, you have to buy a new phone now. Just kidding You did not disable force encryption in TWRP (how to do so you will find below in how to decrypt your phone).
Q: I get verification FRP LOCK? WHYYYYYY???
A: Very simple answer, you did not enable OEM Unlock in developer options. Now you need to flash full rom with odin again and start from scratch. But don't forget to enable OEM Unlock this time!
Q: Which devices are supported at the moment?
A: Current supported devices are: SM-G935F/FD/K/L/S/W8. Snapdragons are NOT supported
Q: Is this rom working on Snapdragon 820 variants?
A: No, sadly not.
Q: I want to change something in my rom setup, how can I do that?
A: Simply reflash the same rom version without any wipe and than choose the correct things you want.
Q: Some features are not present in this rom, but they are on stock rom, so where are they?
A: In aroma installer you have the option to select bloat you want to install or not, you probably didn't select all package, this is why it's missing now.
Q: After a clean install my phone is overblated with many custom settings. What to do?
A: Open my romcontrol, grant it root permissions and then my default settings will be applied.
Q: Will you add X or Y feature?
A: You can kindly ask in the thread for that, if I like your suggestion I will think about adding it to the rom.
Q: You said you fixed SD card RW but Titanium Backup can't write to external SD card, why???
A: This is because of googles changes concerning SD card, to fix this open Titanium Backup, Menu, Preferences, Backup Folder Location, Storage provider and than hit DocumentProvider Storage and select your SD card. Problem solved
Q: I can't find X and Y mod. Please help
A: I've added many links and useful stuff to this post here. Hope that's what you have been looking for!
Q: I want to have my external storage like an internal as well. Google introduced it with android Marshmallow, but I can't see this option?
A: Just follow this Guide here and you can setup your SD card as normal storage
Q: I got a new strange icon (like a cloud) appearing after nougat update. What's that?
A: This is a new advanced calling feature introduced in android nougat. Should make your call quality better or something like this. To hide it please visit following forum: Get rid of RCS icon
Q: I installed Viper or other sound mods, but they won't work, why?
A: You most likely missed to freeze sound alive, if you did this and it's still not working you it's due to the kernel. Stock kernel doesn't support these mods since we need a permissive kernel!
Questions concerning rom updates:
Q: Do I have to do a full wipe for the new version?
A: It is always the best option to make a clean install, otherwise please don't come and report bugs!
Q: But I don't want to make a full wipe when only small stuff changed!
A: For updates using the same bases you can install the rom with a dirty flash. BUT with a new base a clean install is highly recommend!
Q: What steps should I do to update to a new version with a full wipe but keep all data?
A: There are some different ways. One way is to make a backup with Titanium Backup, you can backup all Apps and Preferences there. Make sure to store this backup on external SD card (if you have one). Second way would be to save your data onto a google account or samsung cloud and restore it after a clean install.
Q: I miss an apk after rom update, how can I get it back?
A: Simply reflash rom and select "dirty flash" in aroma + select the app this time in aroma.
Q: My battery life is so bad and performance is very poor after an update!?!?
A: This comes actually not form the rom itself, dirty flash can cause problems even if only some small things have been changed. So simply install it clean again and it will solve your problem.
Questions about log and logcats:
Q: I got FC's and other Problems with the rom, what to do?
A: Take a logcat for me, developers use to say: without a log, it never happened . A logcat can be grabed with a PC and ADB installed, simply type: adb logcat > log.txt while your phone is connected and the error is happening. Same can be done if you have a terminal installed on your phone. Simply type adb logcat > log.txt and you will have the same output as on the PC.
Q: What kind of logs can I provide to help you?
A: Logcat: This one is for general infos about FC's
DMESG: this is for kernel related things
Last_Kmsg: this can be used after a random reboot
Q: How to get logs?
A: 1. Connect your phone to your pc
2. Make sure you got usb debugging enabled
3. Install Minimal ADB tool
4. After install open it and type: adb logcat > logcat.txt, adb shell dmesg > dmesg.log, adb shell cat proc/last_kmsg kmsg.log
5. Send me the file you got
You can also send me a log created by your phones terminal with the exact same commands!
Questions about RomControl:
Q: None of my romcontrol changes do anything, why are you such a bad dev!?!?
A: The problem is not on my end, you installed stock systemUI (which is STOCK and does not support one single mod). Use another one in aroma instead. The same thing can happen with good lock!
Q: Romcontrol gives FC's to me. HELP!
A: Very simple answer here: wipe data and cache from batman control application. Also make sure storage permissions are given to the romcontrol.
Q: Romcontrol still FC after cleaning data and cache!
A: Make sure you allow storage permission in main settings.
Q: I try to backup my current RomControl setup, but it won't work?
A: It works. Just make sure to enable storage permission in main samsung applicatoin settings. You will find it in internal sdcard under RomControl folder.
Q: I can't restore BatMan control settings after a clean base update, why?
A: Backup for BatMan control only works as long as you use the same version of the app, I mostly change very much things in new releases that's why it won't work there.
Q: SystemUI reboot doesn't work in BatMan settings app, why?
A: Since Nougat update, you need to install busybox in order to get this button working. Without busybox the button will just do nothing.
How to go back to stock:
Q: I like to go back to stock rom, how is this possible?
A: I can provide you here all steps which are needed to go back to a full stock rom.
0. Make a backup and than wipe all partitions in TWRP
1. Go to Sammobile and choose your country
2. Download the file and the attached Odin on sammobile
3. After downloading, put your phone into download mode
4. Make sure drivers are installed and your pc can detect your phone in odin
5. If the box in odin turns blue, add the AP file to AP tab, BL file to BL tab, CP file to CP tab and CSC_HOME to CSC tab
6. Hit start and wait until it is finished.
7. Reboot and you have a stock rom again
Questions about Encryption:
Q: On TWRP there is an error about /data mount, what to do?
A: Your device is encrypted, follow the steps below to get rid of your encryption.
Q: Help, I never had a code and now after installing the rom my phone asks for a password??
A: Your device is still encrypted, on step 0 of my rom instructions it tells you to be sure you're not. So, what do you need to to in case you are still encrypted.
A: HOW TO DISABLE ENCRYPTION:
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Select Wipe
3. Select format data
4. Then you manually need to type "yes" with the keyboard
5. Confirm the wipe (this will remove the encryption)
6. Reboot your recovery
Q: Is there a way to get rid of encryption which is simpler?
A: Not really, you could also wipe data with stock recovery but this is quite a big hassle so above method works better.
Q: And if I want to use this rom with encryption?
A: Encryption does not work anymore on Nougat roms with TWRP installed, sorry to tell...
Questions about CSC/Signal:
Q: Where has the CSC selection gone?
A: To include all csc files, the rom get way to big, so it got it's own thread now, take a look here: CSC installer
Q: I have a weak cellular signal, what can I do against it?
A: Two things: first, install your providers CSC using CSC installer and flash in TWRP or flashing stock CSC with Odin. Second Thing: You can install the modem from your provider, also find your modem on Sammobile and install it with Odin in CP tab.
Q: I don't have all sHealth features, how come?
A: Not all CSCs include this feature. I recommend to use AUT or DBT as it has the best compatibility!
Q: Can I flash MM CSC on N and vis a verse?
A: No, this is clearly not recommend! You can and will face call fc's!
Questions about Xposed:
Q: Does Xposed work yet on Android N 7.0?
A: There are some test version of Xposed on N, I don't recomend to install it!
Questions about Magisk:
Q: How can I pass safetynet?
A: 1. Make sure to fully uninstall SuperSU by chainfire
2. Flash most recent BatStock Kernel
3. Flash Magisk V13.3
4. Open Magiks Manager, go to settings
5. Enable MagiskHide, systemless hosts and systemless busybox
6. Reboot the phone and check safetynet!
Q: Where can I configure the root settings in Magisk?
A: Since Magisk V11.1 Magisk uses MagiskSU, you can find it in latest Magisk Manager V4.1
Questions about Snapchat:
Q: What to do when I can't login to snapchat?
A: Clean install the rom without root and login to your snapchat, save the app with titanium backup, flash back root. For the next update of the rom just restore snapchat backup in TB.
Q: Any other possibility?
A: You could enable MagiskHide and check Snapchat inside it so root will be hidden from Snapchat. You will be able to perfectly login without any issues.
Questions about Kernels:
Q: I want to switch kernel, how?
A: We have systemless we have patches in ramdisk of boot.img. This means you have to reflash Magisk and supersu (or any other zip that changes some stuff in ramdisk partition) after every change of kernel!
Q: I got random reboots, heeelp!
A: This is most likely from a custom kernel, if you face random reboots please check if you have the latest kernel installed or switch back to the stock kernel included in the rom.
Questions about S8 Ports:
Q: I have the problem that on each game I start, the screen becomes black, why?
A: This happens on all roms if you haven't selected S8 navbar AND updated game tools via samsung store. I will explain: the new s8 has an updated game launcher which works together with the navbar. The rom itself includes an older version of that app to work well if you don't choose the navbar. If you update the game launcher, the store will think you got a s8 (as this is a full s8 port). After that it installs you most recent s8 game tools and you got this issue with black screen! Solution: don't update that game tools!!
Q: I have a GAP on the stock launcher with no s8 navbar, why?
A: Samsung recently started to update all their apps via playstore. So if you update the launcher via play store, the app will be stock from samsung and not modded anymore. Means that GAP will appear again after the update. Solution: simply don't update the app
Q: I have a virtual home button on the AOD and it won't go away!
A: You should be able to update the AOD app via samsung store, that will fix it.
Q: On AOD analog clock I can't see the clock seconds and hours on the first clock, all others are working fine. How to solve?
A: I'm aware of this and will try to fix it on upcoming updates!
Q: How can I get camera stickers to work?
A: By flashing the provided fix from the OP
Q: How can I get secure folder working again?
A: I dropped support for secure folder officially, but there have been some discussion about a fix, check it here

I don't own a Note 7 FE, means I can't make it supported for 4 big devices, this rom is for S7, S7e, S8, S8+ all in one zip. I'm so proud lol (and plus it's not really a port when you can simply use almost all from another base, as the SOC is the same )
I will port the Note 8 roms in the future (when I can get one lol ) :good::good:
Downloaded the latest version Rom v1. 1.1
I will test it, come back in view days.... Happy ? with it!
Awesome .. i was waiting you to do it .... downloading

Will this work with adaway if it is used to block some specific sites (Spotify ads).
Also, how to uninstall?

Yea. It can be used with Adaway. As Spotify's Video Ads sources are generated dynamically like the Google Video! So it will be impossible with hosts to block all of'em!
Else, it removes all other ads.
To uninstall Magisk Module, just remove the module from Magisk Manager and reboot!
Do u need systemless hosts enabled in magisk settings for this?

well, for All-In-One Module yes!
but, for standalone packs, no! (As it just simply replaces system/etc/hosts via Standalone Module!)

Because, All-In-One let's you choose the pack you want to use. It also comes up with whitelisting and blacklisting with extensions support on the go! It's all about script!
When you choose a pack, it downloads and applies the pack.
Otherside, standalone packs contain the hosts in it and just need to flash, to work!

Get the MIRROR link of the PACKAGE from the main thread you want, and add it to Adaway > Hosts Sources. Then simply apply.
Yea, it will replace the hosts or systemless hosts of your device.
Feel free to ask, if you need any help!
Does it work just like adaway or it also block Facebook ads and YouTube ads ? Or does it hide the ads white space ? (Like adguard)
So just quickly trying it, I disabled adaway and flashed the 12kb all in one zip via magisk manager. It hung on reboot for several minutes so I forced a reboot again and it booted normally. Magisk manager showed the module as installed but I see ads as if no effect.
I removed that module and flashed a stand alone module via M manager and rebooted fine but still no effect. When I reenable adaway ads are blocked.
Am I missing something?

Yea. It's kinda like Adaway, but with more hosts, from reputable sources baked in!
You know, Facebook Ads are from graph.facebook.com, You can block it personally. It causes few issues with Facebook Apps if we block it.
Moreover, you can't use cosmetic filters with hosts. So it won't be able to hide all the ads. One of the few limitations of hosts.
Stay Energized Mate!
