Since previous development thread was closed, I've been getting a lot of pms. Everyone thanks for the kind words and for offering me help. Thumbs up for this great community.
The reason I didn't post the link was because my laptop or my upload server let me down. At least that is what I saw when I woke up.
No big deal, thought I would upload it upcoming weekend. But as we all might know, today oos 2.2.1 was released. My custom oos was based on 2.2.x, so I was thinking to rebuild this rom again based on the latest software. Meaning it will take a couple of weeks before it will be ready.
So far this briefing. If you have questions regarding this rom, for now please ask in this thread.
Link to original thread:
COSX
To the features, just add the viper4android... And try to make the files app show the root directory too.
I feel you should post ur 2.2.1 build directly when its ready..take your time and i do support what u stand for!! and if possible add network speed indicator
Since there was no answer to this on the original thread, what do you mean by theme support? Layers?
I'll be patiently waiting for your release
But, for playing purpose, are there any guide somewhere to create a moded rom from a stock rom ?
I've been looking but all i could find was from 2012
I don't think it's as simple a remove/add apks from the rom zip :cyclops:
Request
Please donot remove the stock oos camera which has manual focus iso exposure .... __/\__ please

I've been searching for days, but failed to find results.So here I'm am, years later finally posting another question post. xD
Was just wondering if there was a thread that had a compiled list of .zip updates in it. I'm running tytungs Stock NexusHD2 v1.9G rom. And for one, it is amazingly fast, and the best rom I've used so far. But I thought it would be fun to add a few zip updates I could find withought having to flash a rom that's loaded with a ton of custom updates. Having this stock rom gives me a good template to add some updates of my liking but can't seem to find any. Thanks for the help if it can be offered. And big ups to all the devs!

I meant add ons not updates I guess. Don't know if you guys could tell the difference in what I meant.

i will update this forum with more mods/roms/themes as they come.
ill say this now DO NOT! i will say it again DO NOT ASK FOR HELP HERE
i will just simply ignore you, you must go to the correct thread thats listed above here for help
also mods if this isnt the right place to put this then please move it to the right place. i figure it was a general discussion so to put it here
Since Samsung stopped supporting the international galaxy S3 model (aka GT-I9300) claiming that the culprit is that it only has 1 GB RAM, so system apps cannot be run correctly, XDA Developers refused to settle down releasing the first milestone named ArchiPort, and here comes the other BIG EVENT.... :victory:
This is a discussion thread for the "back-to-n00t" project by @arter97, where latest Touchwiz Android 4.4.4 ported to the I9300 from the Korean version SHV-E210S, to keep the origional development thread clean and only development-related ...
before getting started, you must remember the what-so-called a disclaimer:
Your Warranty is now voided!
neither @arter97 nor me nor anybody is responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, exploded phones.
It's your choice to flash this ROM, not anybody else. If you don't know what you are doing, then i strongly advice you to do some research, or leave it until it is complete.
Also Mind that this is still Work-in-Progress
-->Features<--
**Stock Touchwiz Android 4.4.4**

Congrats!
I want to congratulate to @arter97 for his work, I'll being paying attention until stable ROM release to try it :fingers-crossedOnly one device to use, I can't permit me to lose connection :crying.
Question: I'm from chile... If I install this ROM, need to install local modem to avoid "no network" issue? (Obviously making backup of EFS before flashing).
Thanks!
Note: I can't see screenshots in official post "[I9300] [Touchwiz Android 4.4.4] back-to-n00t; Bring the LTE fun back to 3G". Please, upload more to another site!!!
Note 2: I think is the link in post that no allow me see the pictures.... No!! It's @arter97's website, error 404.

Concerning the modem question i also have the same question asked in the development thread.
Screenshots and downloads question: i think arter's site is down for a while may be...
I am also having the same issue here when trying to download
We have to wait for arter's website to get back so i can download it and post screenshots
FYI

Yeah, that's my fear... I love custom ROMs, but my first experience was awful, I lost connection to network and sim was asking for PIN number... I had to send to repair my S3, only with 2 weeks of usage!!! (that occured 3 months ago) :crying:
Now, I'm using S5 Sensation ROM and I think is great, but I want to try others available developments

Yeah i noticed now
So you advice that thread should be closed?
But I think there will be so much fuss about it later, for example after it was discovered that SMS seems to be fixed with third-party apps.
And when the KK kernel source for the korean model is released, it will be more stable... So
May be @arter97 says something about this thread. If he wants that this thread must be closed then i have no problems... I just wanted to help
I am having connection problems here so i didn't see a lot of replies in the development thread. Thanks for letting me know..
I ask all of you to donate to the developers ..
They work every day to give us a free firmware kitkat stable ...
In a few hours have succeeded with hard work to give us a firmware almost totally stable ... finally soon we will have a stable firmware "semi-official"! :laugh::highfive::good:
Sorry for english!
why can not install ?
You need to download the ROM first

Is this ROM Sudden Death fix patched??
As kernel indicates the battery capacity in milliamp Android system , eg have a battery of 3500mAh and 2100mAh system warns all application says that the kernel is providing this information , but the forums only talk about percentage . excuse the word as it is not my native language.

Not really sure if it counts as an original, since all I did was compile and tweak some stuff.
Only senior members can create a new thread in the Development forums.
Correction: you may also need sufficient post count/status. Also, you can still send a message to the mods requesting them to move your thread to a development forum even if that is the case.
Hello! This will be a quick post about how it was good earlier and how it can be better today, so please, stay with me.
I've been using Sony's for a while now, starting with small and cute Sony Ericsson k510i, then k550i, then wt19i (LWW), and then Xperia SP. My "flashing career" started after I've lost warranty on my k510. At that time there wasn't a lot you can do to your phone - there were several official firmwares, various customization options, and a lot of custom patches. No competition, one latest official firmware, a big library of patches that you could port to your device, if someone didn't do it already. The only competing area were a lot of graphical patches, but you could compile them together on your phone. Like today, if you were doing something wrong with your phone - you'll get a brick and it's your fault. But for every device there was an instruction, a beautifully crafted instruction on what to do and how to do everything, step by step. Almost every thread included a complete set of links to get you started. If you needed to flash a customisation after installing something, there would be a link on how to flash custom right there.
Today I have my XSP and try to do something to it. So I open one link (non-sticky, needed to bookmark it), see a lot of ROMs, part of which are no longer maintained. Finally open one of them based on performance rating, and see that it needs some kernel. So I go to kernel list, and see that it can't be flashed without recovery. What recovery? One specific recovery, because another one can't flash it. Now how do I flash recovery in the first place? I need a manual for that. Now I go to kernel and ROM page and see that no manual is available for them, too. So I open main device page and don't see any manual, so I open a sticky thread. And guess what? I don't see manual there. And that's when I start a new thread, type my problem in, and see a non-sticky thread with last post made 2nd of May 2015, and no pages link to that thread at all.
Is that how it goes this days? A newbie comes in, spends whole evening, opens 10 tabs, and still can't find anything relevant? I think we need to do something with this, revisit old threads, compile a new one-for-all guide, or at least a list of guides. And stick it, so people can actually see it. Otherwise there will be small closed community of those who already can develop and flash, and all the others who either got brick or is afraid to get a brick. Thanks.
---
UPD: And then I see that the kernel which I almost decided to flash is closed and all developers migrated to another one. I'm talking about tangerine and helium. Again, no info in the first post. And main developer openly says to users of his work - if it didn't work for you, don't use it. What's wrong with you people...
I'm deeply sorry if I offended somebody with my previous post. I'm happy that you guys do such amazing things with this 3 year phone. But damn, FULL INSTALLATION took about 10 minutes, counting PC reboot into linuxes to get fastboot working. In case someone struggles like me, use CyanogenMod instruction to get to Cyanogen Recovery; download TWRP Recovery, ROM of choice and GApps of choice; place all three ZIPs onto your sdcard; go to recovery, flash TWRP, reboot into TWRP (by pressing volume rockers while loading), do Wipe - Factory Wipe, flash ROM, flash GApps, reboot to normal. Wait for about 5 minutes (black screen is normal, there will be dots flying after a minute or so to keep you entertained).
Yes, It's that simple nowadays, so why bothering typing so much? I was in that situation with my SP, too, but if the are so many answers to these questions and so many threads... "You have to read" is the answer! A lot! It's for your own good, trust me. Now I can do anything I want with my phone with nohow! So a little reading and searching here and there is just positive experience for you. Don't complain, the people here ( well a part of them) are hardcore coders or themers or whatever. You can't just ask them to tell you all the stuff. If want help I'm always available.
Thank you for linking to my very dusty and lonely Flash ROM guide hahaha
No you didn't offend anyone at all. The guides are actually there, like how to use Flashtool, how to unlock bootloader, how to flash recovery and everything, it is just that they are buried deep with time as the development goes. The thread are there, in the General section and are awaiting to be searched. Though some are outdated, some are not and you can benefit from there.
Some searching will normally do, but if it didn't, just ask in the threads, someone will probably answer to you!
I always have my eyes on the General and Q&A subforums of the Xperia SP, and I will usually respond to a help-able problems. So if you have any problems, feel free to post in the Q&A subforum, and if not me, someone will help you. If there are nobody, don't feel offended. Maybe people don't know what to help or suggest (but lets just hope that is not what it will be )
About recovery, PhilZ and CWM is way outdated, and its time for everyone to make TWRP as a standard as it is a still updated recovery. Cyanogen Recovery in my opinion is crap as there are far too less feature plus, it enforce on signed flashable zips.
About the thread on Tangerine, the developer said dont use if it doesn't work is because of the norm of the Kernel. The kernel is made by using an AnyKernel template, hence render support for almost all Lollipop ROMs. Since ROMs can be updated and all ROMs have different sources, a simple change in the system part can render Tangerine unsupported, and the developer cannot do anything (definitely his choice, please respect that) to only fix the problem on one ROM which could possibly break support for the majority of the ROMs! This also appplies to Helium. Therefore, his words of "dont user it if it doesn't work" has a meaning, and it is not something to degrade new users and so.

Thanks for the answers and offering help, happily I was able to install my ROM of choice and it still works flawlessly, I was even able to squeeze 20 battery days from my old XSP.
Thinking about it, I start to understand why that dev answered like that. I was a python dev in the past and know how one feature can kill two others. Just in my head there is one current linux kernel, and all things that are developed should work with that particular kernel. Kernel comes before OS, if you will. Isn't it the case with ROMs and droid kernels?
About TWRP and reading: I honestly did read a lot of info before doing something, because it's my only phone these days. But it's so hard to find information on whether something is deprecated or not. As a new user, you wouldn't just google "is this deprecated and no longer used?", because that search will not provide any info. That is why during that evening and following morning I lost count of how many times I just shaked my head asking which recovery/kernel should I use and how do I install it? Latest being the easy one, because I already found TechnoSparks thread by that time.
In case anybody is interested, I installed Candy 5 on default kernel. But I still don't know if installing android 5 on a kernel used with android 4.2 was a good idea. It went well, however.
