Project artware |
/* Info */ |
This ROM is based on Kies-extracted Samsung Galaxy stock firmwares, mainly focusing on improving what's going under-the-hood. This will break your device's KNOX warranty! Using Xposed with artware should work flawlessly. |
/* Features */ |
Based on Samsung Galaxy stock firmwares, meaning this ROM is Touchwiz. Uses ODIN for cleanest installation Major Android 5.0 Lollipop memory leak fixed(ColorFade) All frameworks optimized with 0 compression ratio Most applications optimized with 0 compression ratio with custom aapt for best performance and compatibility Carrier apps removed from the multitasking UI Deodex'ed with _riddle's oat2dex.jar KNOX and OTA disabled External storage access enabled Smooth spinner animations on non-holo UI Faster animation scales(0.75x) Boot animations replaced with international ones(if not already) EXT4 system image optimized and aligned |
/* Disclaimer */ |
Your warranty is now void. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you. Hard. A lot. |
/* Warning */ |
Do not redistribute, modify, fetch, extract files used within this project or integrate with other files without my permissions. Making mirrors, re-uploading to another servers are strictly prohibited with no exceptions.
You must come from latest stock Lollipop firmware first for this ROM to work properly. Using Lollipop baseband, modem firmwares are essential.
Factory reset when coming from the same Samsung Stock ROM is unnecessary.
First boot will take 5 minutes to 20 minutes generating more than 1GB of ART cache.
Due to lack of devices and testers, only Galaxy S4, Note 3 and Note 4 ROMs have been tested. Other devices may have issues. |
/* FAQ */ |
Q : Do I need to perform a factory reset going from(or to) stock firmware? A : That's unnecessary but back-up any important data prior to switching. |
Q : How do I update from old artware to new artware? A : You need to flash stock factory firmware in prior to artware update. Latest baseband, modem firmwares, etc are needed. |
