Pimpdroid 2.0
Some of you may know me from my work on the note 1 i717 with Pimpdroid 1.0, and though this ROM shares the name, it is not a continuation of the previous project. More so, I have named this ROM after 1.0 as a sort of ode to fallen projects. My note 1 had broken and I bought an S3, but by that time I already had significant progress on the release of 2.0 - however, much to my dismay, the hard drive containing the majority of my work is now toasted. I mean literally, toasted. It became corrupt and being that it is a really metal idea I gave it a bit of a viking funeral. Anyway, enough of my ranting. I present to you Pimpdroid 2.0 for the galaxy S3, based on stock 4.3 touchwiz with quite a few tweaks.
Features:
-Busybox pre-installed
-(mostly) debloated
- google experience launcher
-some kitkat stock apps
-android black market installed
-lucky patcher installed
-apollo music player
-KNOX removed
-rooted (obviously)
-some mild systemUI theming
-samsung OTA updater disabled
-some network / wifi speed tweaks
-pretty well no S-crap left on, if there's anything I've missed let me know so I can kill it. (samsung apps is left there deliberately for the sake of galaxy gear functionality)
Bugs:
None that I know of. Tell me?
Some notes:
- One thing to keep in mind is that due to the kitkat apps (namely, camera), GOOGLE HANGOUTS is intended to be your primary SMS / MMS app. Do not come to me with any issues regarding the stock messages app, as I intend to remove it next release once I can verify that it will not affect mms with hangouts.
- Also keep in mind that this ROM is still in its baby stages. It's an early release, and I intend to add much much more to it in the future.
- And lastly, I HAVE NO TIME FOR DRAMA. Nobody is forcing you to use this ROM, if you don't like it flash something else.
With that being said, download links and instructions are below. Have fun and happy flashing!
Flashing instructions:
-Full wipe (don't come with issues if you dirty flashed)
-Flash rom
-Do NOT flash any gapps, it's a TW rom they're built in
-reboot and let it sit for about 10 minutes
-enjoy!
