Its all good brother. Just make sure to check the notes to see what's in the packages. They will change when I add/remove things (when new stuff becomes available, or things that are causing issues are removed). The E911 had to be separate because of an issue with one of the other packages in the AIO. I fixed the issues, but haven't gotten around yet to updating the AIO.

And feel free to make requests for anything you want, but don't see as an option listed in the OP.

Anytime brother.

The only thing I really care about is not having a bunch of crap in the notification panel and being able to skip tracks in lock screen holding volume buttons which can be done with easily with tweakbox or other apps. I'm loving this rom! All the crap taken out and I'm able to put what mods I want in. I've installed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2367993 to make it sexy.

P.s. Any apps that I like to use that you have take out can easily be replace with a app from the play store. If I do think of something I will request. Again thanks for your hard work.

Anyone know how to get Smemo working? I've tried installing it via a flashable zip file and copying the smemo and snoteprovider.apks to system/ app then changing permissions and rebooting. Either way it force closes

Notification keeps coming up

Hey, this is a fantastic ROM. I have continually looked for a super simplistic ROM and I love this. So much. Fantastic work. Let's make babies (NAH haha). But I flashed and everything has worked but a notification keeps coming up saying "The device has detected an application attempting unpermitted actions. To protect your device, reboot." I have never ever seen this. And I hadn't installed any apps before it came. up. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joeyx2:
Go to system/apps and Delete any files that have KNOX in it. I was going to say the same thing but read it in a post around page 3 or 4. Maybe something can be put in the op about that.

Edit: I did notice that I can't edit a screen shot after its been taken. How would I go about putting that back in or what's a app out of the play store that is a good substitute?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sd0070:
I think if you go into security settings and uncheck verify apps, that will fix it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jangjong:
This ROM is exactly what I was looking for.. except it's missing stock apps that I use regularly (email & calculator).

I saw that you will post a zip with missing apps. Can't wait for that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] persom55:
Unfortunately that still didn't work. Thanks though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
Any luck yet Brother?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
I just wanted to follow-up with you and see how everything turned out. Is there anything else i can do to help you or anything I can do to make this ROM better for you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
Hey bro, thanks for checking in! I just want to say that I did another fresh flash and did tons of tweaking to get all the apps I wanted by pushing to system app, etc.

Let me say that it is running beautifully! Very nice job and I look forward to seeing where this goes. :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] persom55:
Unfortunately not. I just remembered I had a titanium backup of it so I tried restoring that. Still a no go. Oh well. It's still a pretty good ROM in my opinion, and thanks for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
DON'T RESTORE ANYTHING YET ! ! !

Made this just for you ;)

Download:

sMemo and sNote RESTORE

:highfive:

Tested and working on my device (with this ProjectOdex ROM)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] persom55:
thank you kindly. Downloading now. Gonna uninstall the smemo I have already then flash this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
The key to making it work, was sNote. I believe that sMemo needs sNote working (as a dependency).

To get sNote working, some ".so" lib files (".so" files = mostly machine code) needed to be restored as well.

If you get a chance to, unzip the flashable .zip and check it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] persom55:
Yes it's working now thank you. I did know about snote dependency but not about the lib files. That explains why I was able to install it on another ROM but not this one. So anyways thanks. Now to install the music app and I should be good.

Great ROM!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
Im currently on CleanROM 165 and planning to move to this ROM. Will an update be coming any time soon (a week or 2) or should I install the current version?

Any hints on the development road map for this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rafael4096:
Thanks very much for this nice ROM!

I am still running CleanRom 1.2 but have installed this and gotten most things working as I wish....then backing up and restoring my Clean backup so I can get through the work week without any issues.

It's been a lot of fun! I apprecaite it!

How much trouble will I get myself into just restoring Titanium backups of the apps and data from my daily driver setup?

So far.....this seems to cause no problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Marine6680:
I am very interested in this ROM... now that Clean ROM is not being worked on now. (at least for the foreseeable future)

I liked all the basic functionality of the TW based ROMs but without any of the junk apps like S Health and the like. Seems many ROMs left some of that in, but Clean ROM was the barest overall.

This ROM is very stripped down, and that leaves a good blank canvas to start adding to. It would be great if there was a second flashable .zip that had all the different features and apps that were removed, plus all the most wanted MODs. Set up with an Aroma installer, to let you pick and choose which features, apps, and MODs you actually wanted. That would make this a great ROM for just about anyone, as they could make it just how they want it easy. Not sure if its possible to do a second Aroma installer like that though.

As it stands right now (and I may need to read into it more to correct this) is that I am not exactly sure what has been removed that I might actually want to add back. A list of file names without context helps only so much. But I love the concept of a barebones ROM, keep up the good work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
CleanROM is always being worked on. Scott spends a lot of time on his ROMs. I honestly don't know how he does it (works a normal job and has so much time to work on all of the devices he works on).

In regards to the Removed List, I always make an effort to only remove packages and files that have names that make it quite easy to realize what exactly their connections are. If not, I always GOOGLE them and search to make sure that their functions can be found out using a search.

I honestly would love to make a list and be able to give each and every file a definition and some sort of response to go along with it. But, there are literally thousands of files and I don't have time to (at this point in time).

If their are any files in particular that you need help with, just post their names here and I can see what I can do (like other people have before).

I have always really wanted to make a dictionary-like list for all of the devices I develop for, but once I start, I never seem to finish it. Its just too much. Maybe sometime in the near feature (if my wife let's me) when I get some time off I might be able to get one going.

There are a lot of people that use this ROM that check this thread daily that also have a lot of knowledge that have helped others out a lot too

Thanks for trying it out, and if you need anything further, don't hesitate to ask.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
There are a lot of different apps and a lot of apps that have been removed. TB should work fine for most things, but there will always be that one time where it might screw something up. I use it to for some things and for testing these ROMs. I tend to run the for a week or so before I release them. Then once I release them, I only run them for a few hours or a few days. It all depends. Just do what your doing and always make a man droid beforehand. Trial by error is how I do things.

HD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
There are usually a lot of updates and a lot of ROM versions for my ROMs. The update schedule for this ROM will coincide with Verizon's updates for the most part. Trust me, I wipe and reinstall this ROM probably about 3 times a day. Just to test it and see what else I can do to cut it down. There will be a super-cut-down version coming soon. One that is even more bare than this one.

Anything needed though (like missing Apps or functions) will mostly be updated by request from this thread. So if there is something you need that is lacking, just hit me up here and I cans we what I can do.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rafael4096:
Thanks for the reply, HD!

Glad you don't think this method is too destructive. I realized I am taking some risk with it....but then I rooted, and installed custom ROMs....so I must be tolerant to some risk. :)

I doubt are looking for too much input, because everyone has a different idea of what should and should not be included...but here is a list of the items I restored that I felt were missing:

Clockpackage

Stock Calendar

Stock Email

Exchange support

Calculator

Full camera support

Never figured out where browser favorites are stored....but want to restore them when I find them.

There are others....but they are more individualistic than the above.

Also added ringtone and alarm buzzer sounds from my old phone that I cannot live without because I am old and don't dig new sounds. LOL

I edited the that XML file to turn off circular page scrolling in launcher......I like having stops at the end pages.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joeyx2:
[Request] do you know how to get rid of the annoying message you get when plugging in headphones and turning the volume up? I listen to music in my car a lot and and the sound comes in low already and that feature Starts it at a lower volume and when you try to turn it up a pop up comes up(while still in lockscreen) that louder volumes can cause hearing problems and to hit ok to continue. Also can you add in the photo editor that pops up after you take a screen shot. I like to set that to pop up after every screen shot. That way I can edit it how I like our delete if it's a bad screen shot.

[Question] do you plan on trying to do this same thing to the new darkslide me7 rom? I'm giving it a shot to see how good it works and will delete things i know i don't use but I'm back to all this extra crap now. (BUT at least a good Portion of my apps are on my sd card now)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Marine6680:
Scott has unfortunately announced he is retiring from development, at least for a while.

A comprehensive list and explanation of every file is probably not needed. More along the lines of "Want NFC functionality? You need these files... IR Blaster, These files... TW camera, these files... All these files are related to logging and reporting to Samsung/Verizon so you don't want them... etc" I haven't dug into the file list yet to really know what has and has not been removed. I also haven't played around with this ROM enough to know what features are still there and which ones have been removed.

I still think this ROM would make an excellent base for an Aroma installer add on zip that will allow users to pick and choose features. I know such things can be time consuming or difficult, so no demands or expectations... just an idea.

I know it had to take lot of work to trim down the stock firmware to 500mb, so thanks for your efforts and time... I still find it crazy that CM 10 can be 200mb but TW stock runs around 1.5gb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] compywiz:
Two things I miss coming from Hyperdrive is the ability to have a center clock, as well as the CircleMOD. Has anyone got either of these going on this ROM? It seems to be a struggle to get them working on ODEXed roms. Something like these for Note2, except for ODEX - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2220238
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
I use an app called Volume Ace that locks the media volume at max. When I plug my phone into the car audio the volume is locked at max. I get a warning toast which goes away on its own. I also have a widget for Volume Ace on my home page to select different profiles. For me there are only 2 profiles - Normal (sliders where I like them) and Mute.

Check it out.

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

I prefer a centered clock too as well as the Circle icon for the battery.

With CleanROM 1.65 I was able to use the 3Minit and a 2.4 Framework to get the look that I wanted. I wonder if that approach would work with this ROM.

Camera inquiry deleted, although Im finding pictures taken with the Google Camera are a bit darker than stock.

Just came over and love the ROM dude. Battery is fantastic and it is so fast and snappy!!!! Way to go!

Quick question, do you know if I need any other APKs for WatchOn?

Does anyone know what is required to get rid of the "Battery full charged. Unplug charger" ongoing notification?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
Scott is a good friend of mine and I heard he was taking a break as well. But hopefully the other developers that are also involved with CleanROM will help keep it alive.

I built this ROM for people to build on. Building on top of any ROM takes a good bit of knowledge and know-how. I wanted to go to the point of only removing files that could be easily noticed either by name or a quick search to help out. The majority of users and flashers know how to root their devices and flash ROMs, and that's it. This ROM is for more "seasoned" users. If this ROM got flashed as much as any of the more mainstream ROMs, then there would be too many issues for me to handle. To make it easier on myself and others, I decided to announce ProjectOdex as completely OpenSource. This way, anyone wanting to, can do whatever they want to/with this ROM without question. Connecting the dots with removed/uninstalled files for this ROM is a task, but not as much as you would think.

From the start of this ROM (when I announced PO to be OpenSource), I made sure to remove files by name only. For example, there is a VideoPlayer.apk that connects to a libVideoPlay.so, etc. I haven't decompiled any of the dependencies to see where they fit. I removed them according to familiar naming only.

If someone wants to make a full list before I get around to finishing it, that would be great and it would be welcomed (being an OpenSource project and all).

I have got the S3 down to a 169MB TouchWiz ROM. So it is possible, just time consuming. I would love to see an OpenSource TouchWiz ROM. That would be nice. I doubt TouchWiz will ever get to be as tiny CM with all the features CM has, but you never know. Anything OpenSource is better. The only thing I run in my life that isn't OpenSource is TouchWiz. Lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Marine6680:
If I had the time I might do it, I have tinkered with ROMs way back in the beginning of Android. Mostly just removing and adding things to existing ROMs for my own use.

I don't see how you dedicated Devs manage to get the time. :eek:

I really do hope someone takes you up on that as uses it as a base. A stable and clean start is always a good thing.

Keep up the good work.

Is this safe to flash over the new VRUAME7?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pr1meSuspect:
Scott is still actively developing for devices such as the Nexus 7 and some AT&T phones. I read a post over at the ATT GNote II and it seems like he just got fed up with the locked bootloader situation the ATT and VZW GS4 variants are facing.

My setup for reference:

Build 7 w/ update

Flashed AIO mods

Flashed custom boot animation mod / ge animation.

Ktoonz kernel

My one issue and one question

Issue:

Question:

Love the servere barebone, I know how write permissions to add apps, only thing is I've only did deoxed roms.. where can I find the .apk and .odex files for the missing apps? Luckily I extracted the clock from mdk stock rooted rom and that's working fine (only thing removed that bothered me).. installed google calender. I had a flashable zip for smemo that was for cleanrom and I'm not sure if it doesn't work because it's odex or if there are a lot more files missing.

(Tl:DR)

Download links for everything removed both .apk and .odex? I have the list just need the files and can't seem to find the .odex parts from any odex roms I have unzipping them.. thanks. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] compywiz:
Kill off "KNOXAgent.apk" and you'll get rid of that annoying message. I'm *really* surprised this ROM included it, especially since it's "barebones".

I ripped mine all out of a "stock" backup I made after installing recovery. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get them from any ODEX'd ROM on here. Maybe search for the stock filesystem (or /system) dump

As far as smemo goes, there's a flashable zip to fix it on this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43762751&postcount=112

Not to be that guy, but if you wanted to save the time of posting, all of your questions have already been answered in this thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
Explanation:

Why KNOX files/folders exist on some ProjectOdex ROMs:

It was a choice I had to make when creating this ROM. Due to many machine coded files (.so's and others) that were removed, the KNOX files had a negative impact on this ROM when removed before the initial boot and initial permission settings.

I use a custom-built/modified version of dsixda's kitchen I built specifically for this series (mainly for su, permissions, init.d support, and a few more) and that I use for building my stripped-down ROMs on other devices. This kitchen doesn't operate like stock at all and is a little more difficult to explain.

These KNOX files also have a negative impact when flashed with the ProjectOdex Stock kernel which is completely insecure/unsecure. The integrity of the kernel, the KNOX files and the container folders/files have a dependency that cannot be met when the ro.adb's are completely insecure/unsecure and missing important hard-coded machine entries.

The differences in size when comparing the KNOX files and the files I decided to remove (instead of the KNOX files)was too severe. So I left the KNOX files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] notstevek:
I had a smemo restoration zip from cleanrom so I assumed it would have worked on this but didn't.

I always check the OP for any mods or tweaks, trying to never be that guy who says "wheres the download link" when it's in the first post, however I don't go through every post/page. If it's for the rom it should be included with the main info. (To the dev/op, do not take offense as I am not saying it's your fault). Thank you for the knox file information.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
No offense taken. This ROM is completely OpenSource and I don't think I'll ever be able to keep up with what everyone does with it. Like in my other ProjectOdex ROMs, users are always posting their own MODs and tweaks and no matter how much I check, I can never keep up with them all lol. The only MODs and changes I will officially support are the ones in the OP.

Weirdly enough, there is a reason behind the KNOX file removal instructions not being included by default in the OP. I want people to search for it and hopefully gain some knowledge about them, shat they do, and why they are there. If you look into KNOX and SELINUX a little more, you will see what I mean ;)

Thanks for trying out the ROM, and if there's anything you can't figure out how to replace on your own, I would be glad to build you a custom package.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
JUST AN FYI, I AM VERY DILIGENTLY WORKING ON THE VRUAME7 BUILD FOR PROJECT-ODEX.

We should be seeing a new release and some more updates shortly.....

......and possibly a new ProjectOdex Kernel with PEGASUSQ/SIO support.

Thank you for everyone that has contributed and helped make this ROM what it is today.

-h311sdr0id
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] notstevek:
Thanks for not taking offence. You'd have a full time job. And I know why you kept the knox files. :)

Great to hear!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
Download Beanstowns stock rooted ROM. Or any other stock rooted ROM and unpack it with 7zip or whatever you use. Then add them. Or, you can odex back your deodex files using a script or you can do it from scratch.

Let me know if you need help still brother.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
Thanks. And I know that it makes it a pain for some people, but there are just some things I think people really should know when they are rooting their device and flashing with them.

Plus it helps people use the Search function too. I learned to develop by reverse engineering and using Google's Search function. Scott (scrosler) taught me how to use dsixda's kitchen and then I learned everything else through tutorials, HowTo's and Google Searches. I learned how to make my own Linux distro too. Its called HELLS-KITCHEN and its in the general-android section. It's an already setup Android Development environment that you can run live off of a CD or USB thumb drive, or install to a HDD.

Anyways, what I am trying to say is that there is too much changing behind the scenes in Android today. And I think more people should be aware of the KNOX files, what they do, and especially WHO made them (and for what purpose).

I have printed out the Removed List and started filling in dependencies, but I am barely 25% done with it. I really need a partner for this project. I have too many devices that I support (for just one person that has a regular job and a wife, etc...) and I need to get someome committed and that has time to join ProjectOdex with me. I don't want to have to abandon this project one day. I want it to be around always.

If you know anyone interested, please let me know or have them contact me here or through GTalk or GMail. (h3llsdr0id@gmail.com)
