Introducing Sweet ROM, a little side project of mine. I have cooked a few ROMS for the Galaxy Note 1 & 2 and the Sweet ROM series is my first on XDA. I liked it and just wanted to share. This ROM works well for me and should for you.

Those of you that know my Sweet ROM's from Note 1 will know I generally build a full ROM. I like to keep all the Samsung apps etc in. Users can delete what they want to lighten the ROM if they wish and know what they are doing.

ENJOY

NOTES


  • Bugs - I have found changing ringtones with Media Storage produces error. I have therefore included all the ringtones, notification tones etc in sdcard. To change ringtones etc do it the normal way but use the ES File Explorer option and navigate to /storage/emulated/0/Audiotones then the folder you need eg. Ringtones. This way works fine. I haven’t had ime to look at it but will when I get a chance.

  • How to setup and use Xposed Framework and Wanam Xposed on Sweet ROM. So many themeing & modding options. Post 4 HERE

  • BATTERY LIFE – I would advise at least run a few cycles before you start talking about it.

  • This is build is for standard dpi. You are welcome to try 240, 214 etc but I don't support these mods. Meaning I have no time to work on any fixes if you try to change dpi so please don't ask. You can change DPI with Xposed apps. Search and you will find.

Remove these and any others with same icon from system app. You can then go further if you wish and remove knox from libs, container & framework etc but just removing the apps will do it

    Introducing Sweet ROM, a little side project of mine. I have cooked a few ROMS for the Galaxy Note 1 & 2 and the Sweet ROM series is my first on XDA. I liked it and just wanted to share. This ROM works well for me and should for you.

    Those of you that know my Sweet ROM's from Note 1 will know I generally build a full ROM. I like to keep all the Samsung apps etc in. Users can delete what they want to lighten the ROM if they wish and know what they are doing.

    ENJOY

    NOTES


    • Bugs - I have found changing ringtones with Media Storage produces error. I have therefore included all the ringtones, notification tones etc in sdcard. To change ringtones etc do it the normal way but use the ES File Explorer option and navigate to /storage/emulated/0/Audiotones then the folder you need eg. Ringtones. This way works fine. I haven’t had ime to look at it but will when I get a chance.

    • How to setup and use Xposed Framework and Wanam Xposed on Sweet ROM. So many themeing & modding options. Post 4 HERE

    • BATTERY LIFE – I would advise at least run a few cycles before you start talking about it.

    • This is build is for standard dpi. You are welcome to try 240, 214 etc but I don't support these mods. Meaning I have no time to work on any fixes if you try to change dpi so please don't ask. You can change DPI with Xposed apps. Search and you will find.

    • I cooked this ROM for my own personal enjoyment and it works for me. *What works for me may not work for you. I merely put together what I like and use. If you don't like it then please don't flash it or even download it as it costs me personally for file hosting.


      I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEVICE. IF YOU CHOOSE TO FLASH THIS ROM OR ANY OF THE ATTACHED MODS THEN THAT IS ENTIRELY YOUR CHOICE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG.

    WARNING - ONLY FLASH IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. IF YOU ARE ON THE NEW BOOTLOADER THERE MAY BE NO WAY BACK TO 4.3. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU DEVICE. WHAT WORKS FOR ME MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU!

    • I flashed official 4.4.2 with Odin 3.09 first as the rom needs the new bootloader to boot.
    • I think you could flash the bootloader .tar file with Odin 3.09 to get the bootloader but please note I haven't tried it myself as I have it already. Its available here
    • I am also on the latest @Chenglu cwm 4.4.2 recovery (flashed via odin 3.09)
