And the best just got better!

As I promised before, I am releasing now PhoeniX ROM V8.0 based on official KitKat 4.4.2 XXUFNC9.

I have worked on that alot, so I hope you will like it.

HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE thanks to [MENTION=4947202]_alex74_[/MENTION] for staying me all nights for tests and helped me alot!

Make sure you follow all steps!

PAY ATTENTION!!!

let's begin with the base bugs:

Some Settings in the S5 Settings will give FC, not a big deal. Note 3 settings are better with alot more features.

Installation Instructions for v8:

Make sure you have CWM Recovery or Philz Recovery or TWRP(Still experimental, you may try)

Be Careful! If you make Super Wipe/ Full WIpe in Philz, you will get error in flashing! You will have to re-flash recovery via Odin.

Flash v8.

Select

FULL WIPE IN AROMA!

Choose your mods, etc.

Reboot.

Make the first setup.

If you don't have WiFi/3G/Signal Lost when screen is off, do this:

8. Reboot manually.(Hard press on Power key)

Enjoy!

Several important notes:

IMPORTANT!!!

Since this rom is using custom kernel, there is no need to update to KitKat bootloader. If you are on KitKat bootloader it is ok. If you are on 4.3 bootloader it means you can downgrade back to 4.3 after using this rom. The best is to be on KitKat bootloader to prevent any future problems.

Aroma includes the new EXT2InternalSD script. There are some changes that you must understand:

First of, thank you [MENTION=2596418]mattiadj[/MENTION] for awesome script.

You won't see in settings now Device Storage for example 64 GB, you will see 16GB and under SD card category you will see your SD card storage.

So, how can I check that the script works?

With a file explorer with root ability go into /sdcard. Check If in this location you can see your files of your EXTERNAL SD card and check if you can see in /sdcard/internal_sd/0 the content of INTERNAL sd.

After every reboot, give the system 2 minutes to be stable, then the script will start work.

In the folder storage/extSdCard/ you will see nothing.

When connecting the Phone to PC, you can access your EXT SD card in Phone, and to your internal SD card: Phone/internal_sd/0

Read everything about the script here:

Use this script only if you have external sd with 16/32/64 GB and you wish to use it as the internal SD.

This is important. 4.4.2 Android system got a better "butter project" and it is hell smooth. In my installation I didn't choose even one tweak. There is no need. There are several tweaks that already inside the rom. But if you really want to flash more tweaks, be careful because it might make your system slow. I have deleted some tweaks that can cause for lags.

Use V8 wisely. I mean, when selecting Apps/tweaks, don't try to "test" the rom. becuase choosing all option is not the best for you. Choose only what you need.

To enable multiwindow manager, go into PhoeniX Extra -> Xposed Installer. Install Xposed. go to Modules tab and select MultiWindow.

If you try to activate MultiWindow from the app itself, it will ask you to install xposed and when you click there(in the MW app) you will get FC. So follow the steps above.

Do not use Settings -> Display-> Battery , because it won't work well(will disappear after several hours). Use instead PhoeniX Extra -> Battery Chooser.

Then Stop asking why the battery percentage disappear, you need to enable it in Battery Chooser!

You will have there alot of good batteries to choose. You can access this app by clicking 3-4 times on the battery icon.

If you want to experience the best WaterColor effect, put picture that has many color, like the note 3 pictures(Already in the ROM)

For example, here is a picture from my device:

You must read it and understand before flashing V8.
