Some questions about Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and root/ROMs, etc.

Just got a GTab 2 7.0 a few days ago. A P3113, so only 8GB of storage, about half of which is the ROM and crap apps. I've rooted before (had a KF 1st gen when it came out), and just wondering about a few things with the GTab:
Right now, I don't mind the stock ROM so much. There are problem things that would be "nice to have", but right now, would like to generally stay as "stock" as possible. That being said, I'd still like to "de-crap" the ROM to free up some storage space, and I assume that might lead to it running a bit better, since so much seems to just pop-in while running other apps. So:
I know I need to root first, so my first question - how reliable is that? I'm on a Mac, but have access to a netbook running Win7, so could run Odin to "get things done". I'd hate to brick the thing, still having 51 weeks of warranty left. (I also understand that I might want to install something else to keep the flash count from showing it's been flashed).
Once root'ed, is it better to use one of the "de-crapped" ROMs floating around? And if so, which seems "best" (yeah, I know the moderators hate the "which is best" - I'm looking for stock - and STABLE)
Or, is it better to eliminate the apps myself? (Not sure if this is a wholesale "rm" to remove certain apps from a terminal app, using adb, or if they have some uninstallers embedded somewhere, or...) - so better to use one of the ROMs floating around?
Is the GTab 2 "stable", so even if you trash a ROM, you can still get into the ROM manager to restore a previously working, or stock, ROM?
I'll probably come up with a couple more questions, especially depending on the replies... TIA

Hi..
I can answer some of your questions. I hope that helps!
1- Rooting is easy and reliable. you may use "CF-Auto-Root" tool (search for it in XDA forum).
But you need to remember that rooting and custom ROMs void your warranty.
2- If you just need to free some storage space, you may use an app such as "Clean Master" to uninstall system apps and get rid of temp and junk files.
3- If you opt to use a custom ROM make sure it is very well supported and maintained.

Thanks - but prior to using Clean Master I assume I better either get a stock image to reload, or use CWM so I can make a backup of the ROM before messing something up?

Taking a backup is always good thing to do. I suggest you try clean master to know how it works and what does it do.

Thanks - I plan to use Clean Master. Allows me to be selective about what I remove/move, instead of getting a ROM from someone and they removed the ONE THING I really wanted.

Ok, got it rooted and CWM installed.
HOWEVER, when I boot into CWM, I DON'T see an option to backup my ROM (I've used TWRP before on my KF, so the menu is different).
What I've got on my screen in CWM:
Android system recover <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache​
That's it. Where's the option to do a ROM backup? Oh, used file P3113_SAMSUNG_RECOVERY_SUPERSU-0.96_BUSYBOX-1.20.2.tar.md5.zip Had CWM and Root all in one. I do have GT-P3113_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.tar as well. Should I just go through procedure again to flash this CWM? Will it still retain SU?

nandroid backup ok to use? Seems it's just a wrapper for a backup script...

Ok - I'll reply to myself.
I don't know what was wrong with the CWM I installed via the aforementioned file (P3113_SAMSUNG_RECOVERY_SUPERSU-0.96_BUSYBOX-1.20.2.tar.md5.zip), but I went to the CWM site, D/L'ed the latest touch enabled CWM for the P3113 (6.0.2.3, I believe), and installed it over the existing recovery image on the device (I had to create my own .tar.md5 - easy with *nix).
Anyway, I now have access to the backup options by scrolling down. The image from P3113_SAMSUNG_RECOVERY_SUPERSU-0.96_BUSYBOX-1.20.2.tar.md5.zip, simply wouldn't scroll beyond what I listed earlier. Now can scroll down, make backups, etc.
Haven't tried yet to re-install the image I made with nandroid - I'm a bit leery of that - so I'll just get the stock 4.1.1 ROM from sammobile, and keep it around....

That's exactly what I did today, grabbed the stock image for a backup, rooted with Odin and CWM then flashed a CM based 4.3 ROM. Piece of cake.

[Q] Few questions on roms / widgets / etc

Hey, so I'm fairly new to the whole rooting and customizing Android, so please forgive me if I come accross "ignorant" or generally childish. I bought a galaxy note 3 the other day and researched what rooting did. After getting convince that rooting was "awesome," I actually managed to root. I also played with some Xposed modules because they were fairly simple and cool. After more research, I found out that Verizon had a locked bootloader which prevented me from using any other roms? I also read that verizon/att users can use safestrap but i couldn't exactly find some specifics for it. So whats the disadvantages of safestrap? Do specific roms have to be used?
Another concern, I'd like to get a faster rom than stock touchwiz, but i'd also like to find a rom that can use ART runtime as well as maintaining a nice multi window feature. I tried XHaloFloatingWindow and another xposed module, and I can't say I was pleased with them compared to the touchwiz one. I'd also like to maintain S-pen features? Does anybody know of any roms that may come close to fitting most of these topics?
Final, completely random question, The lg g3 has this lockscreen widget where when it rains out, drops of water will cover/slide down the entire lock screen on top of your notifications. I thought this was awesome, but wasn't sure if it was possible to get on a note 3.
Anyways, Hope to get some simple answers

Safestrap is as close to a custom recovery as we'll get, right now. Due to our bootloader, stock based rom are all we can use. However, we are not stuck with one rom. Check in the dev threads for roms compatible with your device. Also check the dev and general threads for more info on rooting, safestrap, and how to flash roms.

Art not available for us. Only stock based. See my recommendation above for other roms. There are a few with some pretty cool features and add-ons!

Not sure about this one...

Not sure about your specific questions, as I don't use multiwindow or the other features you listed. But I thought I would point out, what method of root did you use? Make sure of what system your running at this point. beans or kitkat? You will have to select a rom based on that. Or vice versa, re-root if you find a rom that you prefer thats running different android version. Either one will run safestrap obviously, since there are roms for each. You will find pros and cons to each. The con that I'm currently experiencing on kitkat that has me thinking about going back is I can't seem to find a modem that will get me decent reception so I'm assuming at this point that its kitkat thats causing it. Just something more for you to research. Being new to it, you've got ALOT of material to read about. But if you've already rooted, sounds like you've got a decent idea of the process. For me, tutorial videos were a life saver

Alright so perhaps you can help me with just a few more concerns. I researched roms and such. I successfully downloaded safestrap, made a backup of my stock rom and put it on mycomputer. I also made a backup with titanium backup before that and it is also on the computer. I am looking at hyperdrive or jasminerom for the note 3. On there, it explains normal directions to install, but then it says to flash with odin, but when I read something about a tutorial how to install cutom roms on a website "Galaxynote3root" (I can't post the URL yet, says i'll be spamming) , it explained nothing of odin. What is odin? is it mandatory? Does my phone have it by default? hm.... Also i have a build number of NC4, does that build not work with NC2? sorry for inconvenience or annoying noobish questions. Thanks if you respond

So being on Kitkat, did you use the beans method that installed a rom with root basically built in already? And by saying you downloaded safestrap, is it successfully installed? When you boot the phone, do you get the safestrap bootup screen allowing to go into recovery?
If you've already gotten that far, your pretty well set to install either of those roms.

Well i rooted my phone via towelroot. I got safestrap hooked up and installed, so in other words when i reboot, yes it does have the splash screen. I am on kitkat as well. but do i need to install some sort of odin or something? sorry

I think as long as the rom's op says it's based on nc2 or nc4, you should be good. You should not need to worry about odin, since you're already on kk.
Since you're new, I'd suggest not touching the stock slot. It gives you a fall back if something goes wrong. Make sure you understand using safestrap, and start trying some stuff out.

Sounds like he rooted the nc4 with towelroot, cuz he started on nc4. And sounds like ss is working for him, if he's made a backup.

Good man.
If you find something that you don't know or understand, search that thread for an answer. Then ask if you don't find an answer. And always try to give any other details you think might help.
As long as you remember search is your friend first...then ask...you will almost always find people to help you out!

alright alright I'm very sorry for this final question as I actually have tried to search for this but only got comparisons between titanium backup and safestrap. So, if I were to make a titanium backup right now, after the fact that i made a safestrap backup or installation, will that effect anything? I'm really really sorry if these questions are beyond beginner, I just like to play it safe.

Nope. Tibu backs up specific apps and it's associated data and stores it on sd. When you open tibu, it gets it's info from files it stores on sd. Recovery backs up your entire rom environment, but doesn't actually touch sd card user space.
This is why tibu is so helpful. Everything pops up that you had backed up, even on a new rom.

I'm not familiar with the towelroot method. Only the old Kingo for jb, or the beans method for kk. Sounds like your good to go for any KK roms, and Lefty seems familiar, good deal. Not sure how old you are or how far back your computer knowledge goes, so this may do you no good. Odin doesn't go on your phone, it goes on your computer. I always think of it as the old school DOS, or like now when you boot to command prompt if windows isn't working. Its like a back door when your phone operating system isn't working, or if you need to make changes to part of the system that would otherwise need to be running to make those changes FROM the phone. Its flashes the changes TO the phone from your computer instead.
I'm rambling. Its too early. Anyhow, glad your getting things moving along. You can try roms in various rom slots, but you may have issues. I had some roms work well, others not well at all. The ones that have problems, they seem to work better in the stock slot. So you have to wipe the stock slot and flash it there. No big deal, just don't goof up, flash it all at once. If you pause, take a potty break and the battery dies, whatever, don't forget, you have no operating system at that point. Thats when Odin would come into play

Alright so quick update. I successfully installed both roms into slots 1 and 2 respectively. Everything went okay, I rebooted system, but the screen just stayed black. They aren't loading, i still can go back to stock rom. But uhm any idea as to why this is occuring? Could it be the NC4/NC2 build things?
In the hyperdrive rom for the note 3, it says it will work with verizon and also states that after the initial reboot after flashing the rom, there will be a 10 minute wait until it actually boots up. I'd say i've waited 15 minutes and nothing has shown up. So I'm assuming something went wrong. Perhaps i should try to reflash it?
EDIT: I read the directions further ahead and managed to flash a file via odin for the first time, now im getting a rom's boot animation which is good. I hope this'll work !
Edit 2: I successfully installed it and booted it up, everything went okay, I restored my titanium backup and then titanium prompted me to restart. I restarted, and now its bootlooping android.process.acore or something like that is crashing everything =/

In JasmineRom's instructions it says to flash a file called unified_KK_Firmware_RE.tar.md5. After flashing it, it booted up to the new rom.But seemingly once i restarted after titanium backup restored everything it crashed. I then cleared all the cache and data through a factory reset in the safestrap settings and it started up normally. Am I not going to be able to restore my things through titanium? I would send you a link to the odin flash file, but I can't until I have a certain number of posts

No need. I know what you're saying. So flashing that file shouldn't have been really necessary, given you're already on nc4. But it doesn't hurt and should not have caused what you described. So you have roms in stock, slot 1, and slot 2? Which ones bootloop?
For tibu, I would uninstall, reboot, reinstall. Somehow it didn't like you doing that.

Alright so as we speak right now, I have slot 1 with jasminerom and stock which should be the untouched stock rom of course. I have a backup through safestrap of that. I will uninstall titaniumbackup and reinstall and see if that works?
edit: sorry I feel as though I'm being unclear as I can hardly comprehend my own messages. Before, both slot 1 and stock were bootlooping. This bootloop came after titanium backup promted me to restart. But when i cleared the cache through the factory reset, the slot1 rom started to work agin (jasminerom), I haven't tried stock rom to see if it works yet. I'm currently on jasminerom about to re-restore my apps through titanium backup like you said.

alright i finished re-restoring through titanium backup. Once it finished it provided a notification saying "batch complete, 66 elements failed" Right now all my apps are here and everything is seeming to work. Should I restart to see if it bootloops again?

Biggins Rom

Hello- I am wondering if you can help me, yestyerday I had to reinstall the stock firmware for my note 3 on NC4 (thanks to Beantown's 106) after having great difficulty with the Biggins Rom ("unfortunately messagres has stopped, along with contacts and occasional android has stopped), I was unable to use the phone obviously let alone be able to explore this really cool rom. While trying to reset the phone, remove sache, dalvik, data etc. it did get to a point where the phone was stuck on the red Verizon Splash screen all the while Safestrap was still intact and by the end of the night after finding the stock firmware I was able to restore the phone to factory. The only issiue that I think would have caused these is finding and checking the boxes already set in 'root explorer' as opposed to what all the other apps are set to or possibly partitioning the new sd card but I doubt would cause an issue. I installed the rom the night before last and tried to fix the issue yesterday but was unable to which took most of last night to fix before I got it back up and running with the stock firmware. I would like to know how to get this rom back on without issues. Any advice would be great.

To properly run most KK roms you need to flash the NC2 kernel. Instructions and download can be found here. You will only need to flash the kernel. If you are following the step by step instructions you can substitute any supported rom for the stock rom.

Thank you for the instructions- I will give it a go, but first verizon instructed me to take the phone to best buy to see if there's a problem with data since it somehow ate up 96% of my 2 gbs yesterday while I had problems- of course I didn't tell them I was rooted- dofood you know if there's a way to tell if the nc4 was an OTA or it was installed that way or does it even matter?
Thanks again

Hi thanks for the info- how would you suggest I save the stock rom if I need to go back to it or do I need to reinstall the firmware like I did last night?

If you are already rooted you don't need to change anything with you rom. Just flash the NC2 kernel found in the link from my previous post using Odin. The kernel is not the bootloader img, You are already on the NC4 bootloader and can not go back, but flashing the NC2 kernel will leave you with the so-called Unified firmware (NC2/NC4). This is what is needed for most KK roms.

Ok but is there a way to save the stock rom? when I root again and have any issue and need to go back to stock or I will need to DL the firmware again since I will have had the unified firmware on. Also since I like the stock rom besides the Samsung lag, I saw a rom that is based on stock but I think alot better from what I read and is deodexed, do you know what that means?
Thanks you!

Assuming you have Safestrap installed as it is the only way to flash a custom rom on retail Note 3, all you need to do is boot into Safestrap and make a backup. It will be stored on your external SD card and if you want to revert back to it simply wipe the stock rom slot in Safestrap then restore your backup. As you are on NC4 you won't be able to use a rom slot in Safestrap other than the stock slot, and you always want to wipe system, dalvik, cache, and data before installing any new rom.
Odex/Deodex is how the system stores and reads apps. Standard out of the box is usually (perhaps always) odex. This method breaks the apps into 2 parts. It allows for faster loading and searching of the system. Deodex keeps the apps as one entity. This means that the initial loading of the system will take longer but in the end we get easier customization/tweaking. Xposed framework needs a Deodex rom to run (I believe). I'm fairly sure most developers that make custom roms deodex their roms. (My understanding of Odex/Deodex may be flawed but this is a basic explanation, for more info you can always Google, or search these forums).

Hi thanks and yes I'll be googling more before doing. Do you have any idea while the phone was stuck on the verizon splash screen yet SS still worked, why the phone was sucking up huge amounts of data while on the Higgins Rom while it had issues and while trying to reinstall stock firmware?
Thanks again! I can't seem to find the "Thanks" button?

The splash screen freeze could have been caused by the rom not being compatible with the NC4 kernel combined with possibly wiping system via safestrap. Safestrap is not wiped when you wipe the system it remains installed separately (this is what allows us to wipe and install.
The data drain may also be linked to the incompatibility, however I would be unable to answer that as I have never experienced such an issue nor have I read about it on any forums.
Once you are set up with the proper firmware, I would suggest doing a factory reset before flashing any further roms. You may need to reroot and reinstall busybox and safestrap afterwards but it will reset any residual system alterations that may be left from the previous biggins problem.

I made a full backup of my stock nc4 rom before I flashed biggins rom and flashed nc2 kernel. I restored my stock rom to see if it would run on the nc2 kernel and it froze at the red Verizon splash screen. The nc4 kernel will need to be reflashed after going back to stock. However, biggins rom is basically perfect so I have no real intentions on going back anytime soon.

First, you are welcome. Second, did you flash in Stock Slot or a ROM Slot?
Generally, performance on any ROM for battery life is measured after the ROM has time to "settle". It was about 48 hours after I flashed Biggins that I noticed my battery life increase significantly. I can't say that for other ROMS, as I have only been on Biggins, but it seems to be the general consensus all in all.
I do know that if you flashed on a ROM Slot, that for some reason battery consumption is drastic. Again, some have reported otherwise, but in general that seems a culprit to some.
However you flashed the ROM, 3 things will help
1) Let the ROM settle. After 48 hours if you see that the battery is still suckus, then switch to alternate (Stock Slot or whichever)
2) Check your Wakelocks. There is an app in the playstore that you can dl that will measure what is running in the background and then you can shut it down using Greenify
3) Always Greenify
Greenify is a lifesaver to some, and added with a ROM that already has ridiculous battery life (that was meant in a good way ) then you can push about 2 days on one full charge.
Hopefully this helps, if not, then you know where to find me :good:

Great I'm at the 48 hr. mark so maybe I'll see some improvement- I will check out Geenify, I recently heard about and am using Clean Master- have you checked it out?... seems like a good utility widget. Yes I did the stock slot since I was told before installing Baja which actually had really good battewry performace but I just wasnt crazy about the rom.
I dont see a thanks button?

I dl'd in on the phone but haven't used it yet- I'm going to dl in here too ( wifi note 2014 10.1)- ya so last night roughly 8 or soon after I had 38% the night before 15% around same time so its getting better battery. The other day I saw carbon rom, have you seen that? you can minimize apps like pages on windows while running multiples but one sight said our note 3 isnt compatable yet a couple other carriers versions are. Another site said it is but I can't find it- it seems like the rom of all roms…

[ROM] LG V10 H901-10c Debranded, Debloated, Deodexed ROM - Clean & Stable

Debranded, Debloated, Deodexed H901-10c ROM for T-Mobile LG V10 (LG-H901) - Clean & Stable
Thanks go to @Rydah805 for deodexing the stock ROM and being my guinea pig while I was fixing all the broken features.
Thanks also go to @KOLIOXDA for being my guinea pig while troubleshooting installation issues.
Features:
WiFi Calling works with Xposed (even in Airplane Mode)
Second screen works with Xposed (no more force-closes during calls)
No spyware (Adapt Client and Carrier IQ removed)
No T-Mobile apps
No Google apps (except Play Store, Search, Text-to-Speech, and Google Play Services)
Stock LG boot and shutdown animations
No boot sound (boots silently)
No Chrome customizations (Chrome homepage no longer forced to t-mobile.com)
Stock recovery restore disabled (does not overwrite TWRP on reboot)
External storage permissions fix (all apps can write to MicroSD card)
WiFi connectivity fix by @ZDeuce2
AOSP Emoji font
Over 100 additional alarm, ringtone, and notification sounds from Nexus and Samsung phones
Busybox 1.24.1
SuperSU v2.65 stable
Stock 10c kernel and boot image
Download (built Feb. 08, 2016): https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=FE4478E2ABDFD5FC!1082&authkey=!AMAKMBsK8gCEhH0&ithint=file,zip
Changes in this build: Updated SuperSU to 2.65 stable.
Before you install, read below:
Safe to install over stock ROM (odexed or deodexed), no need to factory-reset, unless you're compelled to do so by your inner demons.
Compatible with Xposed v79-sdk22-arm64 and later (sdk22-arm64 ONLY). Do NOT install any earlier versions or other variants of the Framework. You must use Xposed Installer 3.0 alpha 4.
Compatible with P_Toti's G4TweaksBox.
Compatible with the LG Apps Theme Engine.
The T-Mobile Device Unlock app does not work on this ROM and is not included. The Play Store version does not work, either. To SIM-unlock your phone, flash the stock ROM, unlock (SIM-unlock is forever and not ROM-dependent), then flash my ROM.
To get back Google and T-Mobile (except Device Unlock) apps, install them from the Play Store. They all work. They were removed because system apps are not Greenifiable, plus they were causing problems when deodexed.
If you use an ad blocker that modifies your hosts file (such as AdAway), you must reapply your ad-blocking filters as this ROM overwrites your customized hosts file with a stock hosts file.
Do NOT install the "Second Screen Fix" ZIP, second screen works fine in this ROM with and without Xposed. The "Second Screen Fix" is only for odexed ROMs and will break the second screen in this ROM.
This ROM removes any mods you have installed. If you want to reinstall them, they MUST be made for a deodexed stock ROM. Mods for odexed or non-stock ROMs may cause force-closes or a bootloop (flash them at your own risk).
If you're still seeing My T-Mobile, Lookout, or the other apps in your app drawer after installing my ROM, those are updates that have been installed from the Play Store - uninstall them manually like any other user app.
DO NOT USE "FIX PERMISSIONS" IN TWRP. TWRP has no idea what permissions are correct for your phone and will screw them up, resulting in random force-closes in various apps. If you did it, you will need to wipe the entire /data partition (not just factory reset) and reflash the ROM.
If Hangouts crashes when you receive a message or call, it's because it can't find one or more notification or ringtone audio files. Go into your phone's Sound settings and re-select your notification and ringtone sounds, then go into Hangouts settings and re-select the ringtone and notification sound for each type of notification (Hangouts call, Hangouts message, Google Voice call, Google Voice message, and so on).
DO NOT INSTALL PowerNap/WakeLockManager. You will get random reboots and corrupt internal storage, since WakeLockManager randomly hard-crashes the entire ART virtual machine.
To disable the OTA notification: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66304926&postcount=1002
Installation:
WARNING: Do NOT install over a custom ROM. You will get a bootloop/force-close loop.
Copy ZIP file to phone.
Boot into TWRP.
If clean-installing, factory-reset the phone. The installer wipes the system partition automatically.
Install the ZIP.
If you want Xposed, install it now (use only v79-sdk22-arm64 or later).
Reboot.
WARNING: Do NOT install mods for other ROMs on this ROM. You will get a bootloop/force-close loop.
Do not reuse this ROM without my permission - ask first and give credit where it's due!
Enjoy!
PS. I will begin work on the Marshmallow version of my ROM once we have an official way of flashing TWRP on the Marshmallow bootloader. I want the upgrade process to be "Flash the MM KDZ, install TWRP, flash my ROM." Until then, sit tight!

So we don't factory reset or wipe anything? What if we have mods flashed as well?

No Factory Reset OR Wipe,just flash over what you have ATM.
Make a backup of your present set-up before flashing though,just in case something else pops up.
EDIT:
Removed my previous statement regarding mods/add-ons,they'll need to be re-flashed & only de-odexed mods will work per siraltus (ROM OP)

If you have mods flashed, this will remove them, so you will have to reflash them - but only if they're made for a deodexed stock ROM. If they're made for an odexed or custom ROM, they will likely not work, so flash at your own risk.

EDIT:
A flash over a factory reset would probably work,I don't see why it wouldn't,but,it's probably not necessary.
I didn't reset or wipe anything & I'm doing just fine.
I don't have Xposed or any sound mods installed,but,my bet is you shouldn't have any problem flashing over a set-up with Xposed or any other mods.

The ZIP wipes the /system partition automatically so there is no need to wipe it manually.
In fact, if you wipe it manually, the ZIP will fail because TWRP will lock the /system partition for an unspecified amount of time and you will need to reboot TWRP before installing the ZIP.
If you want to clean-install this, then do a factory reset, reboot TWRP, then install this ZIP. I updated instructions in OP to reflect this.

Thanks!! I'll be checking this out shortly!! :highfive:

Is it possible to change the DPI of the ROM without all the stock apps going crazy? I'm not sure of the status of xposed so I'm assuming thats outta the picture right now

The ROM is fully compatible with Xposed v79 SDK22 arm64.
No idea about changing the DPI. I don't recommend it as it seems to break things on this phone.

Dear Sir. Altus,
Thank you for the clean upload, and directions. Currently I am running Rydah805's deodexed rom that you were kind enough to work on fixing wifi calling, etc.
My question is: Is this rom different from Rydah805's V. 1.2.2 as stability and features goes? Would you recommend dirty flashing it over his rom?
Thank you all for your hard work and Happy Holidays
Best,
Bob

You're welcome. Yes, you should flash this over his ROM. I took his deodexed base and fixed everything that was broken in it (WiFi, Hotspot, power management, other stuff), and rather than cluttering the old thread, I started a new thread with a 100% tested build and clear instructions. I debloated and debranded it, added a few useful modifications, plus I made about 30ish corrections to broken permissions and SELinux contexts that were likely causing problems in his ROM that we had yet not discovered (the power management stuff was likely not functioning properly due to being denied proper privileges). Read the OP for a list of features and modifications.

You're welcome. There is no need for that, second screen works fine in this ROM with Xposed and without. The "second screen fix" is only required on odexed ROMs. Updated OP to reflect this.

I'm having this weird issue where the screen will become tinted, almost like there's a pop-up or the notification bar is pulled down. It'll usually go away after a second or if I tap somewhere on the screen, but it's kinda frustrating.

Modified ROM with encryption and SOME Samsung functions like Edge

I want to customize my phone software to get to the following:
- Get rid of the Samsung look (found a topic on Reddit to return to pretty much vanilla Android look)
- Use encryption for /data
- Debloat, I want to get rid of sh1t like S-Planner and S-Health
- I want to keep SOME functions like Edge
- Any handy tweaks are welcome
So I have been looking at what's available. I discussed Helios and SuperStock, which both should be able to use encryption but I haven't been able to get it to work. Then there is Systemless. From what I understand it's a custom rom lite with SOME tweaks and debloating of apps that are installable from Play Store. Would this be what I'm looking for? I'm still hoping for some nice ROM that supports encryption ánd has a nice Aroma installer/debloater as it will save me a lot of time. But does anyone know of such a ROM?
Alternatively I found a script to use to debloat on command line, will take some work. I can use that, keep stock ROM with encryption and not have any usefull tweaks.
I really like the hardware but I want encryption! Advice or tips on this subject are welcome.

For some reason, a lot of people prefer to disable encryption just so they can use things like TWRP to back up data. If their phone gets stolen, welp............................their girlfriends nudes are released to everyone and possibly their own nudes but oh well lol.
Anyway, your best bet is to root a stock ROM and slowly tweak it yourself. Start off with root, then flash TWRP without disabling encryption so you can flash mods still. Then flash for example the dual speaker mod, then move on to installing xposed. Once you have root, just use Titanium to disable things you don't want. Freeze them rather than deleting them.
Most UI tweaks are nonsense which either involves using a more power hungry kernel/keeping cores at a higher speed. Most battery tweaks involve disabling some UI fluidity. Stock ROM is a good place to start.
