Extreme Syndicate v2.1 and older versions (4.4.x)​

EXTREME SYNDICATE v1

Oh no... I did it again! This time the name is "Extreme Syndicate!" Extreme because this ROM is just that! The lightest and meanest ROM for our device. And Syndicate because I couldn't have done it alone without the help from multiple people on XDA! From root, SafeStrap, Samsung, XDA, Beans etc. this ROM would not be possible without you all. Whether you care or not, you are part of the Syndicate for life!
