---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a FULL Working Stock M919NUVUAMF2 4.2.2 Rom with nothing removed from it (except for the Modem and MyExtras_TMO.apk) and with only minor added modifications (Rooted, Deodexed, and other stuff).

I built this Rom to hopefully help kick start a little development for the M919N.
Please use it as a base with which to create Roms and Themes from our own firmware.
Its also great for users who want a fully working rooted and deodexed stock Rom with only minor modifications that you can flash in recovery.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

!!!Attention!!!

I tested this Rom a bunch on my M919N but could use a few more willing testers to confirm that it works as it should.​

!!!Attention!!!

Please be patient and let it boot!! The first boot can take up to 5 minutes, so be patient and wait for it!!​

!!!Attention Developers!!!

All I ask is that you let me know that you're using the Rom and give me credit for the base.​

[danyvw]

Downloading very slow. If I have the time will try today. Thanks for your work ARocker!!!

 

[danyvw]

Downloaded, (took almost 2 hours) Installed, booted in around 4 minutes. Installing my apps and debloating right now, for the moment everything is working flawlessly.

 

[ARocker]

Yea, the download is slow and the file is a big one. Leme know how it works out for you. Thanks for testing

 

[nuttmeg]

WOW how did I miss this? Great work bro...When I have a little time on my hands I will try to make a theme for us hopefully. The S4 has so many things to port...lol but with Wanam this rom can be theme like crazy, but once again thank you very much.

 

[ARocker]

Thanks guys!

 

[ARocker]

Ive got a proper debloated Rom in the works called MetropolitanS4. Id like to hook it up a bit with goodies like 4 way reboot and volume track skip before I release it but ive run into a nasty snag. If you've read this thread in our sub forum, you'll know that there are issues compiling apks with the S4 variants. In short, that means until that issue is sorted out, there aren't going to be any mods done in the traditional decompile, edit, recompile method and also some themeing requiring code edits cant be done until we try to implement the proposed workarounds. The good news is that once the workaround is done, we can post the "fixed" apks so that there wont be an issue going forward and also in the mean time we thankfully have Xposed and Wanam to fall back on

Did you get it to compile? I get the same errors every time when compiling framework (even when I make no edits) with three different apk apps. I read that a few of the apks are effected by this including the two most important, systemui and frameworkres.

Error compile apk [problem partially solved] - xda-developers

Same errors, and just decompile and recompile without touch anything and bammmm here comes the error.

If it's ok with you, I can mirror your link just incase your link generate to much traffic and DB put you on hold and we will have a backup link going.

 

[nuttmeg]

so far so good and no issues, using theme dailer, mms, contacts and 5x6 app drawer. Next i'm going to try vr-theme and see how it plays along with our stock rom.

 

[danyvw]

Here running good too. No theme but with many Exposed framework mods with Wanam Xposed and Xblast Tools, clear weather widget and increase volume mods too.

Wanam is great and been using it for sometime now, but I know you would love the 5x6 Launcher to go with that package.

nutmeg you are right. Looks wonderful and gives more "room" for your apps.

Yea man, thats cool. I was thinking of posting this over at xda too, with a link back to here to download so a mirror would be appreciated

Thanks to you too for fixing the odin tar this rom was built from

Im hoping that posting this rom at xda will bring back the Metro peeps we lost to the Tmobile ROMs and also maybe those Tmo devs will want to make Metro versions of their roms (prolly not, but who knows).
