[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] snovvman:
Okay... this continues the tradition of my previous, the Knox-disabled, rooted, deodexed Sprint NJL stock ROM.

This thread will either 1) give you a deodexed NK1 if you're already on NK1, or 2) upgrade you from NJL to NK1 (baseband and boot) and provide you with a deodexed NK1 ROM.

Terms, Conditions, and Background

Please consider the following carefully before proceeding with anything in this post:

--I still have no idea what I'm doing

--I have never done any dev work other than the NJL ROM, and I really don't consider that "dev"

--I only did this because no one else has done it

--Installing/flashing anything herein may brick or otherwise destroy/render your device useless

--By proceeding, you hold me completely harmless and it's all on you!

If you're currently on NJL, start on step 1. If you're already on NK1, go to step 2

Preparation: Do at least one full nandroid (including everything but cache) onto your microSD. TWRP or CWM is okay.

Step 1:

1.1 Download the factory NK1 ROM (link below) and Odin the package. This is the full factory NK1, which means it contains the factory recovery, modem, system, bootloader etc. It will essentially reset your device to factory (without wiping the /data partition, so all your installed app and data will still be there). You will lose root. When you complete this step, your modem and bootloader will also be on NK1.

This is a zipped file. You need to unzip to get the tar file for Odin. The extension will be .tar.md5.

1.2 Follow these instructions here to regain root

Step 2:

2.1 Download and flash the deodexed NK1/Knox disabled zip, be sure to verify the MD5

2.2 Clear dalvik and cache

2.3 IF you came from Step 1, I recommend the following:

--Wipe the data partition

--Restore the data partition from the backup you made during the preparation phase

Why? In case things got tweaked somewhere along the way. This way, you have a fresh boot using the known good data backup with your new deodexed NK1 /system

This ROM DOES NOT wipe the data partition.

This ROM comes with the international Note Edge boot graphics (credit to TEKHD)

This ROM already has the SD card write fix flashed to it (credit to TEKHD)

I made no other modifications

-------

If you're using Xposed, S-Health and Private Mode will not work. This is not a problem specific to this ROM, but a compatibility issue between Samsung's private storage and Xposed.

Workaround:

Either use Wanam to disable Secure Storage or XSecureStorage (http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xshealth) and S-Health should work.....

Afterthoughts

--Please hit/say "Thanks" if you deem appropriate

--Please be nice. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm only sharing in case someone else want the same I do.

--If you can contribute and help improve this, I'm all ears.

--Please do not mirror, repost, or otherwise share without my permission.

--In case you're wondering, I wanted deodexed because it gives way to theming/customization. I also thought I read that Xposed requires deodexed in some cases.

--Did I miss anything?
