Original thread here: http://rootzwiki.com/forum/237-epic-4g-touch-developer-forum/
Link above is where I will be most active regarding this rom. Sorry for the inconvenience.
When I get a new laptop/PC, it pisses me off when there is software installed that I have to remove myself. I don't want the powerful hardware that I purchase to be crippled by unnecessary applications, services, and or processes. Dell Customer Experience? Don't need it. HP Support? Google is better.
Why not make the extra bloatware optional?
I got this phone, Odin'd the rooted odex'd stock tarball (one of the easiest methods to root a phone that isn't a Nexus) and saw that it was almost 450mb.
This was unacceptable to me. What are all these apps I don't want? Why is Gmail included when there is a newer one available from the market? Why would I want to use Samsung's Twitter app when there are much better options in the market (or why is it preinstalled)?
Granted, I knew the phone was going to come with TouchWiz and a few things preinstalled, but my goal is to have a flashable ROM as close to a "bare-bones" experience as possible.
So I made a custom flashable ROM that I can personally use every few weeks when I feel that my phone gets a bit sluggish and need a fresh start.
This is NOT for you if you don't like doing the dirty work, and taking some time to set up your device the way you like.
This is for those people out there like myself that do not like any preconfigured or installed apps. Every app that is available from the Android Market has been removed from the ROM so you can download them yourselves.
If you update an app from the market that is preinstalled into the /system partition (i.e. Gmail, Maps), the market will update the app into the /data partition.
This results in a copy of the old Gmail in /system/app and a updated Gmail in /data/app (little things like this make me RAGE!!!!!!!!)
By letting the user install the apps directly from the market (into the /data partition) to begin with, we can avoid this redundancy.
(example of exception: YouTube app was left installed as our device's fingerprint is incompatible to download the app separately from the market.)
Before the download link, things you should know:
This ROM...(and mods)
- includes chris41g's LoStKernel (http://github.com/chris41g)
- available in odexed and deodexed
- includes stock AOSP Gingerbread Launcher (tweaked for faster scrolling/opening speeds, you may install any launcher from the market such as Go Launcher EX)
- includes NoCIQ mod (Credits: k0nane, strongsteve http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286783)
- includes Juwe's Custom Ram script (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111145)
note: You need a kernel that has init.d support
- includes GPS Configuration tweaks for hopefully faster GPS locks
- includes stock AOSP Gingerbread Keyboard and dependent lib
- includes CRT screen off animation
- ZipAligned APK's (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/zipalign.html)
- Updated Superuser app
Special thanks/credits to

WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS ROM!?!?
(The flashable zips below can be flashed in the same recovery session. No need to wipe anything in between if doing so. Please make sure you use the correct zip file depending if you are running the odexed or deodexed rom)
1. Longpressing "Home" to access "Task manager" force closes, freezes, melts, blows up my phone! What do I do?
The stock "Task manager" looks for the Samsung Job Manager APK. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache, and flash the following to gain the "Task manager" function back.
NOTE: This will also add the "Task Manager" app to your app drawer.
Odex: http://goo.gl/PZOei
Deodex: http://goo.gl/tIdqP
2. Going into "Voicemail settings" force closes the dialer/resets my signal, and makes my phone radioactive! What do I do?
The "Voicemail settings" tries to access the Sprint Visual Voicemail APK. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache, and flash the following if you need Sprint Visual Voicemail (I personally use Google Voice for my voicemail needs).
Odex/Deodex: http://goo.gl/1jv3q
3. I don't have a voicemail app? WTF???? FIX THIS NA0!
See #2 and use the same file if you want Sprint's Visual Voicemail. Google Voice from the market is an alternative.
4. When trying to "Select sound from My files" for custom ringtones within the Contacts app, it just kicks me back out to the contacts view. WTF??
This function looks for the Samsung My Files APK. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache, and flash the following if you need the My Files app.
Odex: http://goo.gl/JXP0M
Deodex: http://goo.gl/naJ6r
5. I WANT TOUCHWIZZZZZ
Reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache, and flash the follwing zip which includes:
TouchWiz Launcher, Calculator/widget, Calendar/widget, Clock/weather widget, Program Monitor widget, News Widget, Press Reader, Samsung Music Player, Samsung Apps Services (all stock apks + odex files).
Odex: http://goo.gl/81r46
Deodex: http://goo.gl/3cxyf
6. Your GPS tweaks suck ass, I got lost on my way to a Thai massage and missed my appointment because of your half-assed effort you call TWEAKS!!
Reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache, and flash the following which will give you the stock GPS configurations.
http://goo.gl/p4RAl
7. I need exchange support...
Reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache, and flash the following for ~7mb of exchange. Suit.
Odex: http://goo.gl/1M3uv
Deodex: http://goo.gl/i9i7U
8. I don't like the kernel, why didn't you just keep the stock kernel with cwm or like something?
Just flash it yourself.
Any current working kernel for our phone should work fine on this ROM.
9. Trying to access "Wallpaper gallery" to change the stock lockscreen wallpaper fc!? this rom SUX!
The "Wallpaper gallery" looks for the Touchwiz wallpapers which are removed. Use the "Gallery" option instead to select a custom image of your own.
If you decide that this ROM may fit your needs after reading my boring, uninformative intro, PLEASE make a nandroid backup. You still may decide that you need to put a little too much effort/work into making this ROM the way you like, and having a solid nandroid backup always makes life a bit easier. Also, please backup all your apps and information you need so that you can easily restore them.
If you skipped straight to the download link below, then please read the full post before asking any questions that may have been answered.
As always, if coming from a different rom, wipe /system and data/factory reset within recovery before flashing.

Sprint Hotspot is built into the stock settings. I will look into removing this via smali in the future.
Google Search is needed to have a functioning search key to navigate between apps/contacts/websearch/etc.
Voice Dialer is needed if you use bluetooth/handsfree functions.
YouTube is not available from the market for our devices at the moment.
GPS Tweaks: what is it?
I don't guarantee this works for everyone, but it's a popular mod on XDA found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713)
I just modified it to work with North America/US needs
This screenshot was taken indoors where I usually detect ~4 satellites. Obviously this could be coincidence, so try it out.
Anything else you recommend?
Autostarts app (https://market.andro...roid.autostarts)
*I am not affiliated in any way with the developer of this app
This isn't an ordinary "task killer" of sort, but lets you disable/enable processes and apps from starting up in the first place depending on the condition (screen on/off, toggle wifi, etc.)
Description:
Code:
Keep control over your phone: See what applications do behind your back.
Shows you what apps run on phone startup, and what other events trigger in the background. Root users can disable unwanted autostarts and speed up their phone boot.
Note: Root-Access *is* required to make changes. Otherwise, this application will be read-only.
STOP stuff from running before they even start
Why are apps like Goggles and Maps starting "After Startup"? Don't know, but disable it!
Got in an elevator and lost signal. Get out and when "Connectivity changed" dropbox starts? Not anymore.
Use this app at your own risk. Don't disable random **** like "messaging" and complain about not getting text messages.
Consequences will never be the same!

P.S. By the way, the introduction to this rom was fun to read.

We'll see if this gets moved/removed since it's based on Samsung's stock "Rom"
Either way rootz is the "home" of this rom so I'll be easier to get in touch with in the thread linked on top of OP
This rom sounds great, I'll give it a go when I get home. Thanks for your contribution!

Before I flash. Does the phone icon in the launcher launch the dialler or contacts?
If it launches contacts any way to change it to dialler?

launches contacts. it's the way stock aosp launcher is coded (does same thing on the stock launcher that comes preinstalled on our phones from sprint). I tried modding it via smali and wasted a few hours >_< and recently haven't thought much about it since I use Go Launcher. I'll take another look this weekend.
even on CM though, it launches contacts iirc, and CM added an option to "default launch to dialer" in the phone.apk

lol I know you removed this in your latest version...but is there a chance you can upload a flashable zip to put battery percentages back in? I suck at estimating what the battery is based on graphics w/o numbers -_-
haha, nice OP...
i like roms that are stripped down. other crap should be added by the user i agree.
makes it less annoying to use HUGE afterthefact apps that use up the system resources... every time i open "running services" i want to punch babies.

"battery widget" from market.
you can enable percentages in your taskbar without actually running the widget on your homescreen.
win
EDIT*** plus you can set notifications as well... again without running the widget.... like "fully charged" a notification tone... or "under x%".... notification tone.... or "doing your mom"
U came prepared OP, with fixes an all lol...good job an welcome. Imma give it a run later. closer to ASOP the better for me personally

FAQ:
Do I have to wipe fully if I am coming from a previous version of SB?
No, Formatting system, wiping dalvik, and cache should be sufficient. If you get Force Closes wipe fully.
My status bar is force closing, what do I do?
Go into clockwork mod, go under mounts and storage and format system
Why is my battery life so bad after flashing?
You just flashed it will get a lot better, go calibrate your battery.
When will when your next update come out?
Usually Sundays, please don't ask for ETAs.
I am getting hot reboots, what do I do?
Go into lockscreen settings, and change your lockscreen to rotary or ept.
Can I flash a different kernel?
Yes, most Epic Touch 4G Kernels should work.
E4GT HOWTO's (thanks to just_s for being awesome and writing this)
How to extract an apk from a ROM/zip (you'll need a program like 7-zip, winrar, etc.)
[*]Download the ROM/zip that contains the desired apk(s)
[*]Double click the zip and it will open in your default zip program
[*]Navigate to system/app and drag the desired apk(s) to an easy to remember location. (I use Dropbox or Minus, which makes the apk available on my phone without any further desktop steps.)
[*]If not using a cloud storage option, connect your phone to your desktop and copy apk(s) to your SD
[*]That's it, you now have the apk(s) on your phone and can proceed with double clicking and installing the app or if a system app to the next tutorial for installing a system apk.
How to remove a system apk w/Root Explorer (ROM Toolbox can also be used, but slightly different process):
[*]Open Root Explorer (or ROM Toolbox Root Browser) and navigate to system>app
[*]Mount R/W (top right in Root Explorer, R/W is on by default in ROM Toolbox)
[*]If this is a system app, long press existing apk and either move (if you want to keep it) or delete (if you don't care)
[*]Hit OK and your free of the undesired app.
[*]CAUTION: make sure you research before randomly removing things or you are likely to bork something. A good list of items that have/can be removed successfully in naerok's incredibly streamlined ROM can be found in Post #3 here.
How to install a system apk w/Root Explorer (ROM Toolbox can also be used, but slightly different process):
[*]Download or extract the desired app apk and place it somewhere on your SD where you can find it (I highly recommend Dropbox for this)
[*]Open Root Explorer (or ROM Toolbox Root Browser) and navigate to system>app
[*]Mount R/W (top right in Root Explorer, R/W is on by default in ROM Toolbox)
[*]If this is a system app, long press existing apk and either move (if you want to keep it) or delete (if you don't care)
[*]If moving, navigate to the place you want to store the apk using the Parent Folder link at the top
[*]Paste to the desired location then go to the place with the replacement apk
[*]Longpress the replacement apk and copy or move
[*]Navigate back to system>app (should still be mounted) and paste the replacement apk
[*]Longpress the replaced apk and select permissions
[*]Then leave all three in the first column (Read) checked, only the top item in the middle column (Write) checked and none in the third column (Execute). (rw-r--r--)
[*]Hit OK and enjoy!
How to extract a bootanimation from a ROM (you'll need a program like 7-zip, winrar, etc.)
[*]Download the ROM/zip that contains the desired bootanimation.zip
[*]Double click the zip and it will open in your default zip program
[*]Navigate to system/media and drag the bootanimation to an easy to remember location. (I use Dropbox or Minus, which makes the apk available on my phone without any further desktop steps.)
[*]If not using a cloud storage option, connect your phone to your desktop and copy bootanimation.zip to your SD
[*]That's it, you now have the bootanimation zip on your phone and can proceed to the next tutorial for installing/replacing a bootanimation
How to replace/add a boot animation
[*]Download or extract a bootanimation.zip
[*]Place the bootanimation.zip on root of your SD card (or use a cloud app i.e. Dropbox, Minus, Box, etc.)
[*]Make a copy of the bootanimation and name it sanim.zip and move that to your SD card as well
[*]Open a root manager app (I prefer Root Explorer)
[*]Navigate to system/media
[*]Select Mount R/W (top right in Root Explorer, on by defauly in ROM Toolbox) then either delete, or move existing bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip
[*]Navigate back to sdcard, then copy or move bootanimation.zip to system/media and then repeat with sanim.zip
[*]Some people replace only the bootanimation.zip and others only the sanim.zip, but I find each of those methods seem to create issues if the kernel you are running does not support custom bootanimations by default. So I replace both zips and it has worked well on multiple ROMs/Kernels. If this doesn't work for you, try replacing each individually. One of the three methods will definitely work for your ROM/Kernel combo.
[*]User 12MaNy has created a thread with several bootanimations available as well some methods for install
[*]Boot animation sounds can be found/added at /system/etc/poweron.wav and /system/etc/1_Power_on.ogg (may be listed as /system/etc/poweron.bak and /system/etc/1_Power_on.bak if these have been "muted".)
How to hack custom bootanimation support (Via chris41g)
[*]Rename /system/bin/samsungani to something else... (eg samsungani.old)
[*]Rename /system/bin/bootanimation to /system/bin/samsungani
[*]After that it will load whatever bootanimation is at /system/media/sanim.zip
How to add/restore/change bootanimation sounds (you'll need a program like 7-zip, winrar, etc.)
[*]Open the ROM zip that you want to run
[*]Navigate to /system/etc/ and look for poweron and 1_Power_on
[*]If they appear as poweron.wav and 1_Power_on.ogg you are good to go
[*]If they appear as poweron.bak and 1_Power_on.bak you need to rename them as above
[*]If they don't exist, you will need to add them to this location or replace them with similar sized sound files of your choice. Make sure to keep the filenames and formats as above
Stuck at a black screen, bootanimation, etc
No need to jump through all sorts of hoops. Simply download and flash Bubby's CWM Kernel in Odin 1.85. Boot into Recovery and restore nandroid, re-flash StarBurst or flash another ROM of your choice.
*Assumes you were rooted to begin with as you are in this thread and have previously flashed the ROM.

I like this ROM, especially the lower lcd density (did you do anything special? android wouldn't boot when I tried to change it myself before) but I think you have been a bit too rigorous with debloating the ROM. For example, there is no calendar or calendarsync, no gallery, no clock/alarm, etc. Could you make there available as installable packages? (or at least provide a zip with all removes apks).
And, if possible, could you (give an option to) remove the provider name from the status bar?
Thanks

Thanks! Both zips seem to be working fine. I'd suggest adding the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk (I managed to restore it from a previous titanium backup) to enable syncing with Google.
Any chance you could add the default keyboard too? The Samsung one doesn't provide a lot of languages unfortunately.

This is probably due to the modified DPI. It's very annoying, but for some reason, the Play Store hides about half of the apps I use when using a modified DPI. Maybe a patched version of the Play Store could be included in the ROM?
Anyway, I'm running this ROM for a day now and it's running nice and smoothly and I'm liking the modular idea. I did some toying around restoring a few more APKs myself as I needed them, maybe an idea for more installable packages? (although the VPN one probably won't be used much)
VPN Framework (needed for OpenVPN):
VpnDialogs.apk
Email (Because K-9 doesn't support exchange yet):
Exchange.apk

--edit-- actually its an At&t issue, i have a fix
The ROM's name is simply "z999", in reference in reference to my primary ROM for the at&t Galaxy S III i747z
There is no deep meaning to the name, here, I just wanted to keep the letter "Z" in there for the sake of consistency. Plus, I wanted something simple and stock-like on /Settings/About device for the phone for those who might have company IT Departments viewing their devices.
The current Jelly Bean 4.1.2 from Samsung is pretty solid. But, as we all know, for whatever reasons, Tmo will take a good ROM and add restrictions and "features" that make it barely usuable.
Our Canadian GSIII brothers, on the otherhand, have been mercifully spared from the full carrier hack-job given to us by At&t and Tmo. Using the Canadian version of the ROMs build characteristics, I have attempted to give us in the US what Tmo should have.
This ROM is odexed (re-odexed), as it would come from Samsung. In theory, this should give you better speed and battery performance. I have found it be lightning fast, smooth as silk, with best I've tested battery usage. Let me know what you think.
This ROM started off as a port to our still sadly-lacking 4.1.2 at&t i747 devices. After noticing 95% of it would work just as well for Tmo T999's, I thought I would share.
***I do NOT have a T-Mobile T999 GS3 to test the ROM on, so if the modem doesn't flash with the ROM, just reboot to recovery and flash the file I will link to.
If there are any other issues, please let me know and I will gladly try to work them out.

-24-Toggle Mod, Original blue-themed. Stock Green Theme available as add-on
-Precise battery mod. (This is what I call my 1% battery mod. There are no percentages on the battery, itself. IMO, not necessary since the option to display remaining battery percentage is available to us in a stock ROM. So, whereas in a stock ROM, the battery image displayed in the status bar will change only after 10-15% is lost or gained. With my theme, the blue or green in the battery image will gain or lose one row of pixels for every 3-4% lost or gained. Even without battery percentages shown, in a day or 2 you will be able to guesstimate how much battery you have left within 5%, in my experience.) Thanks to Wanam and Lidroid

The boot sound is of a woman humming in a lovely sing-sing-voice, actually. Not that horrific or "lol" worthy, if you ask me. At any rate, you can delete the PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg in system/media/audio/ui if you don't like it
Loving this ROM so far!
OK, help me out a bit here. I've seen odexed & deodexed a thousand times, but gave no thought to it.
That said, does odexed mean I cannot add the files and/or applications that I want to without going through a procedure?

EDIT: The procedure described below didn't work for me after all, but the app "Hosts Editor" by nilhcem does work. It's easy to use and it has a search function.
For anyone who is clueless like me, I was able to do this pretty easily by
locate hosts file in root explorer
upload to dropbox
open with wordpad on my pc
ctrl+f find and delete hosts you don't want blocked
save and exit
copy and paste hosts file from dropbox to root explorer
Thanks for the help, agriff!

I'd say do a search for a lot of detail on this but you can still use mods, as long as they don't contain .jar files in system/framework. If the mod is a /system/app, then you have to delete the corresponding .odex file to the mod.
Not a necessary step, but you can, then, use odexme (search for it) from Paul O'Brien to re-odex the /system/app files. You'll have to flash an insecure kernel, like ktooonz's kernel before getting this to work, though. There are better ways to re-odex, which, again, can be found with an xda search.

These ROMs are based on the JDQ39B stock ROM version. I have created Deodexed versions (recommended) and Odexed versions. The Deodexed versions have everything, and the odexed versions are missing a few items. If not using the odexed version is a true worry, just remember, once the dalvik cache builds up on the deodexed version, there should be minimal - if any - performance difference compared to the odexed version.
I have tested as much as possible, above and beyond. However, if someone finds a bug or error, please let me know. DO NOT PM me as others may have the same issue and it is better to answer it once here than a thousand times through PMs.
Please read this OP carefully before posting questions as many answers can be found here. Other answers may also already be in the posts of this thread...

PACKAGES
All packages are flashable. There are several apps per package, but you are given the choice to install one, all, a specified amount, or none. Each package contains ONLY free or lite apps.
ES PACKAGE - The Essentials Package - Think of it as a REALLY GOOD starter kit.
BX PACKAGE - The Basix Package - A lot of apps that could come in handy (no social media).
PS PACKAGE - The Power Saver Package - Apps that can greatly increase your battery life... further.
LG PACKAGE - This has almost all the original LG apps in case you want something back that I deleted
SUGGESTIONS
fstrim - If you can't wait for 4.3 of my ROM, and want fstrim support now, buy and download Tasker. Use this thread to allow fstrim support, then use something like LagFix to "trim".
Network Speed - If you are using the odexed version and want the network speed on your status bar, you can install Xposed and then use Xblast Tools (both in the BX Package).
Disable Network Speed - If you are using the deodexed version and DO NOT want the network speed on your status bar, you can download the LG Package and install the LGSystemUI.apk to get rid of it.
QUESTIONS
Why is version the odexed version 0.8 & the deodexed version 1.0?
The deodexed version has everything I wanted to put in. The odexed version does not all the theme mods and network speed on the status bar. Check SUGGESTIONS for a way to add the network speed...
Will the odexed version be updated?
If I have time and can get it to work properly, but the deodexed version will be my priority.
There's something I want, can you add it?
Maybe. It depends on if I think it will benefit everyone, and how much it adds to the ROM. Post a request.
I want something that is in JB 4.3, can you add it?
Likely, no. I plan on making a 4.3 ROM in a bit, so there would be no point for me. But, you can always post a request and see.
Will this work with my variant?
If it is not listed, then NO. You can make a request for your variant in the thread. It'll move progress along if you also post a link to any custom ROM meant for your variant as well.
Why don't you use an AROMA installer?
I experimented with the newest version, but it is just overly convoluted with menu pages and could be confusing when trying to determine how to actually flash the ROM. I had decent success with an older version, but in both versions, there were times where the installer would not go back to recovery and would cause a boot loop from not installing properly. The old methods are best.
I want such-and-such app, can you put it in the ROM?
No, but if it is requested enough I can include it in one of the packages.
Is there different keyboards?
The LG Keyboard comes with the ROM in two themes: Black & White. But you can find the other two themes in the ES Package. If you're looking for another great keyboard, there is a standard keyboard in the BX Package.
Can I flash this zip even though my recovery doesn't "lokify" items (e.g. kernels)?
You should be able to flash on any available recovery without issue.
What can I do with the custom kernel?
The custom kernel adds a lot to performance but here are a few things you can actually do with it: 1) You can undervolt. 2) You can change to newly added governors. 3) You can utilize zRAM. 4) You can calibrate screen colors. 5) You can OC CPU. 6) You can OC GPU.
ISSUES & FIXES
After first boot - I get a few errors after first logging into my Google Account. What do I do?
The errors should open Google Play Store to an update for Google Play Services. Click "Update".
I am only getting the emoji keyboard when I first boot and enter my information. What do I do?
Fill out the information, otherwise you may not get to later... When done, go to Settings>General>Language & input to enable the "LG Keyboard". You can then change it to the LG keyboard by clicking "Default" and selecting it.
The LG Package doesn't install correctly. What do I do?
This happens to some, but not others. If you're of the unlucky few, you can try one of two methods: 1) Extract the APKs manually from the ZIP, place them into /system/app with a file explorer, and reboot the phone. 2) You can try a fewer amount of APKs to install at one time, and if the problem persists, try choosing different APKs.
When I go into Settings and change something for the keyboard, the system crashes when I back out. What do I do?
This happens to some, but not others. If you're of the unlucky few, download the LG Package and install the "UserDictionaryProvider.apk".
When I try to access the secret menu, it doesn't appear. What do I do?
Download the LG Package and install the "HiddenMenu.apk".
When I try to use the camera it crashes. What do I do?
This happens to some, but not others. If you're of the unlucky few, download the LG Package and install the "CameraTestApp.apk". If the problem persists, try downloading this and flashing it in recovery. This package should return the camera to stock values.
I can't sync my calendar. What do I do?
Download the LG Package and use a file explorer to place the "GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk" in the /system/app (overwrite any existing file).
I have a QuickWindow case, but I can't see the clock or music through it, it's just black! What do I do?
Download the LG Package and install the "LGClockWidget.apk" and the "LGMusicWidget.apk".
I have tried everything, but my contacts won't sync. What do I do?
This is quite common on custom ROMs apparently, but most common solutions won't apply. Instead, return to a stock ROM, a backup, or any custom ROM that syncs with your contacts. Once done, go into contacts and click the triple lines at the bottom for the menu. Now click on "Import/Export", click "Export to internal storage", check the "Select all" box in the upper-left corner, and then "Export". When that process is completed title your contacts file to save it. You can now reflash the HeatshiverLX ROM and import the contacts back by repeating these steps but choosing to import your contacts rather than export them.
INSTALLATION
1) Make a backup of your current ROM.
2) Do a Factory Reset.
3) Flash the zip and enjoy!
IF USING HeatshiverLX v2.x/v3.x: simple fix is needed after the first boot listed in the ISSUES & FIXES... And be sure to setup your Google Account when first asked!

HeatshiverLX - 4.2.2 for D802
Light eXperience
If I did it right, you won't even know it.
This ROM is based on the JGQ39B version stock ROM. I have created a Deodexed version (Recommended) and a Odexed version. The Deodexed version has everything, and the odexed version is missing the custom kernel and a few theming items. Check SUGGESTIONS for adding the custom kernel. If you are really worried about not using the odexed version, just remember, once the dalvik cache builds up on the deodexed version, there should be minimal - if any - performance difference compared to the odexed version.
I have tested as much as possible, above and beyond, otherwise I would have released this days ago. However, if someone finds a bug or error, please let me know. DO NOT PM me as others may have the same issue and it is better to answer it once here than a thousand times through PMs.

The deodexed version has everything I wanted to put in. The odexed version does not have the custom kernel and a few other things (all performance tweaks are included). Why? Because the custom kernel causes audio and WiFi issues, and the other mods are not working yet, like the network speed on the status bar.
I like odexed version but I want the features of the deodexed version, what can I do?
If you want the custom kernel you can either flash the custom kernel from here, or you can flash this recovery with the custom kernel built-in.
Will the odexed version be updated?
If I have time and can get it to work properly. But the deodexed version will be my priority.
There's something I want, can you add it?
Maybe. It depends on if I think it will benefit everyone, and how much it adds to the ROM. Post a request.

Hi heatshiver,
in first post, you says that you do tweaks for call quality...
If you can tell us what kind of tweaks for and whether you can make an installation package that can be installed on other roms since some of us have a problem with the quality of discussion-call quality ?
Thank you.

The call quality tweak you are interested in is purely for call clarity. It is possible to create an updater script to add this property, but it seems pointless unless you have a lot of other universal tweaks you would want to add. If you really need this, send me a PM and I'll make one for you. But I'll have to give you some instructions to follow if you want to use it for other ROMs as certain things will need to be changed to use it for different ROMs.
Thanks for your work . The deodex link is missing. ..

The Deodexed version is now available!
first i would like to thank you for your efforts
second, i just want to make sure ... did you remove any app of the stock LG stuff ?
because i like my rom to be deodexed , tweaked for performance and battery, some eye candy BUT i wanted to be as close as possible to LG stock rom with all its bells and whistles (IR control, file manager, stock lock screen and launcher, slide aside ...) you know .. the things that makes our G2 a .... well, G2

A lot of LG items are gone, but I kept what I thought were the best (i.e. IR, lock screen with some widgets, KnockOn, launcher, slide aside, etc.). This is also the reason for the Packages. You can use the LG Package to install things I have removed that you wanted to keep.

KNOCKON
The KnockOn feature on these ROMs only works partially. A double-tap will turn on the lock screen, but a double tap will not turn off the screen. I have included a free lock widget that can easily be setup to give a more rounded KnockOn experience. To set the widget up, perform the following after flashing either ROM:
When you first boot into HeatshiverSX you will notice a small green power button widget off to the right. This is the widget to be used. Click on the app drawer.
Click on the "Lock Screen Widget" app.
Click on "Lock Icon Options".
Click on "Lock icon visibility".
Choose "Invisible on desktop" and click OK.
Click on "Lock icon size".
Make it as large as possible (80) and click OK.
OPTIONAL - Click "Lock icon style" and change the icon image. Click OK afterwards.
Exit the app to the desktop.
OPTIONAL - Click and hold the power button widget. Move it over the power button of the desktop background, but be quick as the power button widget will disappear after a few seconds...
Click the invisible power button widget once to lock the screen.
NOTE: The power button shows when clicked or when exiting from app to desktop.
Uninstall
To uninstall go into the "Lock Screen Widget" app first, then click and follow the "Uninstall guide" instructions before attempting to remove the app.
SUGGESTIONS
KnockOn - If you want a fuller KnockOn experience you have 4 options:
EASIEST - Use the included "Lock Screen Widget". Setup a transparent power button widget and place over the power button on the background (button shows when clicked or when exiting from app to desktop). Click the button once to lock the screen.
RECOMMENDED - Buy and download this app from the Play Store. It offers a widget with full transparency and uses a double-tap to lock the screen.
ALTERNATIVE 1: If you own Nova Launcher and Tasker, you can setup a shortcut for the double-tap feature.
ALTERNATIVE 2: Download this app and use a opaque widget to enable the KnockOn feature on any Android device.
Smaller/Hide Nav Bar(Soft Keys) - With AOKP the nav bar does not have the transparency the stock LG G2 launcher does. But, with AOKP, you have the ability to shrink or hide your Nav Bar and save that precious real estate! Go to Settings>ROM Control>Navigation Bar and choose "Navigation Bar height" to change the size (40DPI suggested), or check off "Enable Hidden Nav Bar" (or both).
NOTE: "Enable Hidden Nav Bar" acts like GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys, but without the double nav bar issue after a reboot.
QUESTIONS
What are the main differences between HeatshiverSX v1.0 and HeatshiverSX v2.0?
As noted above, the main difference is that v2.0 includes PA 4.4 Gapps. This increases the ROM size of v2.0 to about 370MB.
Will there be an odexed version
No. If not using an odexed version is a true worry, just remember, once the dalvik cache builds up on the deodexed version, there should be minimal - if any - performance difference. Which means after the first boot up (or any subsequent dalvik cache wipe), either versions' performance would be similar.
There's something I want, can you add it?
Maybe. It took a while to get HeatshiverSX v2.0 to work properly, so it depends on if I think it will benefit everyone, and how much it adds to the ROM. Post a request.
I want something that is in KK 4.4, can you add it?
Likely, no. I plan on making a 4.4 ROM in a bit, so there would be no point for me. But, you can always post a request and see.
Will this work with my variant?
If it is not listed, then NO. You can make a request for your variant in the thread. It'll move progress along if you also post a link to any custom ROM meant for your variant as well.
Why don't you use an AROMA installer?
I experimented with the newest version for my other ROM, but it is just overly convoluted with menu pages and could be confusing when trying to determine how to actually flash just the ROM. I had decent success with an older version, but in both versions, there were times where the installer would not go back to recovery and would cause a boot loop from not installing properly. The old methods are best.
I want such-and-such app, can you put it in the ROM?
Probably not, but if it is requested numerous times I might.
Is there different keyboards?
I only included the 4.4 keyboard as it was very similar to the 4.3 keyboard.
Can I flash this zip even though my recovery doesn't "lokify" items (e.g. kernels)?
You should be able to flash on any available recovery without issue.
What can I do with the custom kernel?
The custom kernel adds a lot to performance but here are a few things you can actually do with it: 1) You can undervolt. 2) You can change to newly added governors. 3) You can utilize zRAM. 4) You can calibrate screen colors. 5) You can OC CPU. 6) You can OC GPU.
Since you have KnockOn (kinda), can you include QuickRemote?
Ohhhh, I've been trying. I've tried a few different methods without true success. I tried this thread's version as well, but unfortunately it won't even show... If anyone gets a different APK to work, or some method to get the one in the aforementioned thread to work, send me a PM and I'll include it in a future update.
Can you include LG G2 themes or apps?
I may work on some G2 theming as an update, but G2-specific apps will be A LOT harder to accomplish.
ISSUES & FIXES
After First Boot - I am getting error messages that lead me back to the settings for date and time. What do I do?
Go into Settings>Apps>ALL and find Google Account Manager (and Keep if on HeatshiverSX v2.0). Click on the app and uncheck "Show notifications".
After First Boot - I am unable to open certain apps, and/or my time always resets to 1970 after a reboot. What do I do?
This is a two-part fix, one for correcting the date, the other for making it "persist" after each reboot:
Go to Settings>Date & time and uncheck "Automatic time zone". Change "Select time zone" to the correct time zone.
Go to your apps and open ClockSync. Click on the 3-dotted menu in the upper-right corner and click Sychronize. SU should appear. Select "Remember choice forever" then "Allow". Click on the 3-dotted menu again and click Settings. Scroll down to "Sync on boot" and check the corresponding box.
The AOSP keyboard is throwing up an error message all the time. What do I do?
This has started to occur since the LG keyboard was added. Go into Settings>Language & input, check off the "LG Keyboard" option, then change the "Default" to the LG keyboard.
The LG keyboard is in single-hand mode. What do I do?
There is a tiny keyboard icon on the bottom of the LG keyboard itself. Click that icon and choose the first option for dual-hand mode.
The sound seems very low. What do I do?
I use Wootever's kernels as I like his work, but I have been told that his kernel makes the sound lower. Download and flash Houstonn's kernel here, and it should instantly boost your sound.
I have tried to turn off the network speed on the status bar, but I can't. What do I do?
There is no on/off switch, but the network speed can be taken away altogether. Download this SystemUI.apk and install it over the current one. Make a backup of the original APK if seeing the network speed is desired later.
I want to update the Google Play Store in HeatshiverSX v1.x. What do I do?
There is no fix for this at the moment. You will need to flash HeatshiverSX v2.x if you want the current Google Play Store version.
INSTALLATION
1) Make a backup of your current ROM.
2) Do a Factory Reset.
3) Flash the zip.
4) After boot, there are two things you should setup to be issue free. They are both listed in ISSUES & FIXES...
NOTE: If you have any install issues, be sure to use a TWRP recovery!
MISC.
When you first install either ROM there will be a quick tutorial on how to use the KitKat launcher. It will show Hangouts as an example. There is an issue with Hangouts in HeatshiverSX v2.0 (possibly due to the 4.4 integration of SMS), so it has been left out and replaced with SMS.
Photosphere is installed in HeatshiverSX v2.0, however, it does not show. I will try to find a solution, however, I don't see it as an urgent need...
GPS can be enabled, but apps that use it tend to crash.
QuickWindow does not work on either ROM version.

Failed
v2 Fails every time I tried to flash. It failed at the very beginning. Maybe a bad upload?
@antawnm26 @Tyie101 @fordstang99 @jaynkc - Please PM me with the topic "ROM Tester" and add your variant to the title as well. I will then contact you with what I might need from you to get a working port ready. I am going to do a few updates to my other ROM first, but I also need testers for those if interested. If so, just remark in the PM that you will test for both ROMs. Thanks for the interest.
@leagon & @shadymouse - HeatshiverSX v1.0 & v2.0 both seem to have some corruption going on so I am re-uploading right now. The hosting has been intermittent as of late (for uploading as well as downloading). They moved to new servers and have been fixing issues for the last few days.
AHH I see. No problem dude! Your ROM looks very promising, I'm itching to flash it
v2 Fails

It's being worked on. It looks like the Upload was borked on the server.
