[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] entipck:
My first attempt at ROM cooking, a (relatively) lightweight ROM based on the stock Samsung Touchwiz ROM but with most of the Samsung apps removed and/or replaced with either stock or 3rd party apps.

Still under development. Current release: 1.0

Features:

-Mini launcher (stock-like look but reasonably fast)

-Google keyboard

-Cyanogenmod mms app

-NiLS notifications

-Gravitybox transparent notification bar

-Screenshot option in power menu

-StatusbarVolume

-Dialer2 and fastcontacts as default dialer and contacts app. (Super fast but very limited. Stock Samsung apps included)

-(more to come in the future)

Installation procedure:

1. wipe data/cache

2. flash otonrom.zip (takes a while)

3. reboot (first boot takes longer than usual)

4. get through setup wizard. The only importand thing here is that you connect to wifi, you can do everything else later. (I'm thinking of removing the wizard entirely)

5. When asked, choose the Mini launcher. Touchwiz is only required on first boot for the lock screen and home button to work. You can remove it later with the Uninstall app.

6. go into the app drawer and open the xposed installer. Go into the framework menu and click on install/update. Grant superuser permission, then click cancel when asked to reboot.

7. go into the modules menu of the xposed installer and check all three modules. Now power off the device and boot into CWM

8. flash update_otonrom.zip. It will reboot automatically.

9. unlock the device and wait a bit. Grant superuser permission to Titanium backup. Wait for it to restore data. This is needed for restoring the settings of Xposed modules (I'm sure there's a better way to do this but this works so whatever. Might change it in the future)

10. The device will reboot. Once it loads up everything, reboot it again just to be safe.

11. To get rid of that annoying 'set up software update' notification, just click on it and click 'later'.

12. Open NILS, a great notification app, and set it up. You can remove if you want to, though.

13. That's it. Check if everything is working and please report any bugs. The default applications for dialing and contacts are dialer2 and fastcontacts, but the stock dialer and contacts are included.

Known bugs:

-After unplugging the charger, the battery indicator sometimes either stops working completely or just stops displaying the battery percentage. C̶h̶a̶n̶g̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶a̶t̶t̶e̶r̶y̶ ̶i̶n̶d̶i̶c̶a̶t̶o̶r̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶G̶r̶a̶v̶i̶t̶y̶b̶o̶x̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶e̶l̶s̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶n̶ ̶b̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶s̶e̶e̶m̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶f̶i̶x̶ ̶i̶t̶.̶ ̶ (UPDATE: It appears to be incapable of displaying 100%. Once the battery level drops to 99% it should start displaying it properly.)

-sending an mms crashes the messaging app. sms works fine. haven't tried if recieving an mms works (UPDATE: It doesn't)

-(probably a lot more. You tell me)

Future plans:

-do something with those ugly green quick toggles

-remove even more unnecessary apps (It's still pretty cluttered)

-simplify installation process

-(you tell me)
