Root [Team Osiris][ROM][Beta] Unofficial CM11

Here is the Touchwiz 5 launcher and task manager. To install, reboot to cwm, and install the zip file.

Here are the extra Touchwiz 5 applications like, S-Note, S-Voice, the Touchwiz 5 Theme, and the Samsung App Manager. I did not make these flashable because, to install to /system, it would use up too much space. So instead, you unzip the file with a Root File Explorer and install them to /data like you would with any apk.

OK, I'm using superrom v2 and I installed the extra apps, s voice and s memo work, it installed Samsung s3 apps but can't open it or find it, Samsung Apps flat out didn't install.

Okay after installing the first zip file all the other apps installed, the theme seems to be working on superrom v2. Samsung apps opens but with nothing inside?

This is getting really off topic. Just a reminder, this is the CM11 thread. Please try to post things relevant to CM11. Thank you :)

yeah i guess i started it with the theme question!! lol but i still get android.process.media when i install certain themes (i could unmount then mount sd to fix it but thats annoying)....its weird b/c i deleted all my apps manually and it worked but as soon as i put more apps on i get the error...o-well i guess i cant figure it out back to the system theme....

Yeah, sorry about that jetx2x. Didn't mean for it to carry on for so long. I love the cm11 build so far, and I just wanna say that you and everyone else that helped you did an awesome job. Also, what's the status for the ROM currently?

The exact state as in the OP... Nothing new to report... Work is going to slow down since all the easy stuff is taken care of... Not having much luck anymore

deleting apps manually isnt a good idea, try factory resetting it and starting fresh if you havent already. may have something still in your cache or something like that conflicting with the apps. im not sure tho i dont have the full story

I'm thinking about another reset but I've done plenty of them in this process lol sd card formats changing sd cards I really don't know what the deal is pretty strange

I downloaded the initial release and noticed that it seemed to slow down significantly with use (I.e. laggy ui response).

Had anyone else seen this, and if so; did it get better with more recent builds?

No I've been noticing that too with the recent build. Also the function buttons don't light up or vibrate much. But it is laggy for the time being

Go to settings > about phone > tap on build number until it unlocks developer options and performance options :)
Try going to performance, agree to the disclaimer, go into cpu and change min to 122mh, then go into I/O scheduler and choose sio. See if that helps.

Nope that didn't work either, also my Skype messing up I.e. not ringing when I make a call. Its too bad I really want to use this ROM as a daily.

Well, I understand your desire. I have my own.

I stay on the ROM, most of the week, because I like it. But then jump back to the stable SuperR B13- v.6 backup, (takes just minutes), when I want to retrieve the phone messages I've missed.

It's 5 minutes of time, restoring a nandroid, than another 5 minutes, to jump back to my backup of cwm-11.

The good new's is being able to do THAT, makes me FEEL like I really know how to DO Android! :)

(It's OK that it's probably more like being able to change a tire on a Ferrari,... compared to a Ferrari mechanic). :eek:

Compared to my friends that don't root or do anything with their phone's, (except pay through the nose for their contracts), I'm a DAREDEVIL out there with no net, wing-walking!
