Hello XDA.. Welcome to another project by me, the Custom Stock ROM 5.0 Edition- Codename: "Eternity". After a long period of waiting and as most of you have known me from my ICS ROM Thread, basically it's a simple looking Stock Rom with some new features and apps added to this ROM that the original firmware don't have and it feels a lot better and faster. Lots of bugs has been fixed, and I have made a lot of visual changes in 5.0 Edition. I feel that this is what Samsung should have done on our lovely device. I hope you will have a great time enjoying with this new release. If you enjoy my work, please spread the word around about this ROM.

*Before using this ROM, please read the whole post.

*This thread will be updated with new infos.

Things To Remember:

1. The best way to start is not by posting, it is by reading. Read, search, read, search. If you read an answer that looks helpful or answers a question you might have, bookmark it, and when you see someone else ask that question you will have the answer for them plus a supporting link.

2. Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.

3.When you post something here, many people will see it and possibly post a reply that might be perceived as funny but not extremely helpful, or trolling. This is mostly due to questions that have been asked and answered a thousand times, threads/posts being in the wrong forum/thread, or not providing enough info. This is usually meant as good-natured kidding, so please don't take it wrongly and snap off a reply that escalates the situation into something you might regret later.

4. Do not use abusive language: Example: "wtf", "f***ing", etc... Please do not use bold or bigger fonts. It is against all forum rules.

5. Post using a clear message: You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a message that describes your problem and explain in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.

6. Search before posting: Use the search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

7. Press the button: Don't just say thanks, press it.. It's free and easy.

8. Vote and Rate my thread: As it will help me keep this development alive.

*Flash this ROM at your own risk, do a backup first because you will lose all your datas.

*I will not answer if you have install any mods from other threads or roms/firmwares which will cause big issues and bugs on your device.Please refer to the original providing thread instead.

FAQs:

Q: Is this ROM 100% lockscreen lag free?

A: It is being reduced. You can still see 1 or 2 lags.

Q: How do I flash this ROM?

A: Please refer to the Installation Procedures.

Q: How is the battery life?

A: It can last a day of usage if you are not a gaming type of person.

Steps in preserving the battery:

1. You may want to uncheck some unused feature in Google Now settings. Example: Weather, Traffic. This cause heavy usage on battery life.

2. Uncheck Backup my Phone in Settings/Privacy.

3. Uncheck Automatic date and time in Settings/Date and time.

4. Uncheck WiFi notification in WiFi/Advance setting.

5. Set the Brightness Slider to a minimum and uncheck the Auto Brightness.

6. If you are using the Information Ticker and Weather Widgets, please set the refresh rate to 2 hours or more.

You may also want to practice the 2-3 discharge cycles to get good battery life.

7. Do not use Task Killer apps. Using these apps will waste even more battery life. Let android system do its ram killing.

8. If you using Juice Defender or Green Power apps, some users experience better battery life without these apps, so the best solution is to test them by yourself.

9. When exiting an app, do not simply press the home button. This will make the app not closing properly.

Thus, waste your battery life. Use the back button continuously until you reach the homescreen.

For Developers Only:

If you would like to use something from this ROM or one who has porting knowledge and would like to port this ROM to i777 or i9100P,

contact me in PM. Thanks.

Warning:

If you wish to install other kernels, you may try Philz kernel, Siyah Kernel(Beta) or Dorimanx kernel. Please download and run the GS2kernelwipe before installing these kernels.

You have to test it which works best for you.

For

undervolting with Jeboo kernel v1.3

, use an app like SetCPU or Voltage Control.

I advise you to undervolt 1 step at a time to test for stable result.

Some phones may not be able to undervolt and some can go -100mhv on each step.

If your device freezes or gets too hot due to too much undervolting, reboot to recovery. There is an option to reset the voltage.
