Which rom? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Selling my phone to a buddy and can't decide what rom to leave on the phone for him. Seems like everything I've had on here has had annoying bugs, data connectivity being the worst.
What rom is going to stay hassle free?

SlickMod 2.4- Smooth, great battery life and no issues all.

Why not flash a rooted stock version and then let the new owner decide what he wants to do.

Have to agree there. Sell it stock and let the new owner make the call.

He's not hip to the android development world. The main thing is he hates the stock lock screen

LOL @ CM10 Note 2
Anyways, try ripple lock. It's an ICS/Honeycomb style lockscreen that can be used on any ROM rooted or not.

Can always use no lock and get rid of the lockscreen. That's what I've been doing or using the fake fingerprint scanner

I say leave juggs, have had it since I've had the phone and always endbup going back to it. Also it has 4 different lockscreens to choose from

I've ported it to the AT&T S3 but haven't made a thread for it yet because I have one bug left in it, call audio doesn't work. I could port it to the Sprint S3 and upload it in this thread if anyone wants to test it. Call audio should be the only bug, well if there's any bugs in CM10 those will be present too.

The more ROMs the better
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
well im personally using aokp right now. it takes care of a lot of the cm10 bugs and it has a few customizations that i really enjoy already baked in (i.e. center clock and circlemod battery). the main reason i want the paranoid android is the in depth ui changing. and with jellybean now having 3 different uis baked in id love to go through and tinker with all of that. i really want the 7inch notification bar ui and the tablet camera ui ( i love the option wheel look). but just like it was mentioned earlier, more roms is never a bad thing but the only way i see me giving up aokp is for some PA love lol
Yup it is pretty badass

FC - Launcher Pro?

Can someone help me with this dilemma. I cannot figure out for the life of me why the heck Launcher Pro- plus will not work on my gNex running Jellybean. It doesn't matter what ROM I am using, it stays on my screen, then it stops and message comes up: "unfortunately, launcher pro has stopped unexpectedly"
I have tried everything : uninstall, re- apply, clear cache, the list goes on......
Emailed developer(no frkn response) IT WILL NOT WORK!
Anyone have a good insight on this?

Yup. Dev promised a rewrite that never came. The same goes for his music player.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
This launcher was originally based on android 2.1, the rewrite that was promised was supposedly going to be based on android 2.2... gee i hope that never comes out. It was great in the gingerbread days but its time has passed.
It's time to let that launcher go IMO.
It's a relic of GB and before.
Stock launcher is actually quite nice and Nova is as well.
Try apex launcher. The newest beta is rewritten using jelly bean code
I loved Launcher Pro back in the 2.3 and earlier days. Still works great on my watch and is the preferred launcher, but for my Nexus I have switched to TSF Shell.
Nah,i still prefer it above any newer launchers.its for people that need it simple and fast.like me

S4 features ported to our S3 :)

Given the hardware we have, what new features do you think the S3 developers here at XDA will be able to port to our device?
I just flash roms and use them. I dont get into the deep end when it comes to our device so im not sure what this bad boy is packing as far as hardware, nor the S4s...but hopefully they are similar so that we can get some of those features. Post what you think will be implemented to our device....and maybe give us your opinion on when you think well begin seeing some of those things.

Where are the S4's software features? I don't see them on the Dev board.
I've been messing with trying to port the 4.2.2 TW fit about an hour but without a 4.2.2 TW kernel, won't get too far.

From the source code for 4.2.2, is that the S4's total software enchantments with respect to the S3? So Dual Cameras are possible along with S-Health and whatever?

This might be dumb but since there is no 4.2.2 tw kernel couldn't you make the base of the rom off of cyanogenmod or some other aosp rom then lay all the touchwiz things over it? Almost like how jellybam was.

it should be as simple as taking the framework and apps folders (merge them) and do some lib mix and matching to get it booting.

R: S4 features ported to our S3
When a leak of the snapdragon version will be available i think that our devs can port the whole rom to S3.
Anyway also with the actual exynos dump we can expect some surprises.

Glad to see yall on the s3! I used to have an amaze!!!
Back when I had my sensation there are tweaks to make the camera a lot better and there was a port for the amaze camera for the sensation.
Maybe there is a way to port the s4 camera on the s3.

i gotta say... if youre waiting for a port, youll be waiting an eternity... i been waiting since the s3 first came out and i realized how crappy aosp camera is compared to the stock samsung... a port is beyonddd waiting for because itll probably never happen...
thats why i cant go back to aosp.. i bought this phone for the features, otherwise ide of gotten a google phone. all aosp does is rip the features this phone has away.

Have to agree on this I owned the galaxy nexus, galaxy 2, galaxy 3, And I always been a fan of cm or aokp but running them in this device in my opinion kills the whole experience I hate tw but it has come along way since the galaxy 2/3 days camera features are amazing to get rid and if you use nova launcher you kinda get the aosp feeling but stay with all the tw features..... with the hardware on this phone there is no lag whatsoever I run wicked 3 on nova launcher and phone runs perfect no lag ever.......

umm hi
i wanna buy this tablet for my girlfriend
but before handing it over i want to give it a touch
which kernel,rom,apps do you suggest?
should i root it?should i change rom or something?
and i also want to buy an stylus,is it ok?any suggestion there?
thank you for your time my good friends

and i am obviously not familiar with any kind of lg product or kernel or anything
i have a rooted note on a costume rom ( if you wanna know about my experience)
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Its pretty easy to root the thing. Here is what i would do:
Root
Install twrp 2.7 recovery
make a backup so you have it exactly like it came out of the box other than root.
Then you have about 3 choices for roms
Mahdi-Rom 2.5 4.4
LRS G Pad][v1.2.0 4.2.2 +BOB kernel
CYANOGENMOD 11 LINARO/SABERMOD 4.4
Ive used all 3 and settled on LINARO/SABERMOD. It seemed the easiest to setup, didnt have a huge amount of stuff installed (i cant use/stand pie controls) and it was easy to setup for tap on/off.
what is the point in changing the rom?i mean the installed one has a problem?
other than that what apps do you suggest,or maybe a launcher!

Honestly unless she is tech savy keep it stock I have the lg g2 and gpad both are stock but for one reason only everything works and I get great battery life out of them I do use go next launcher 3d on the phone for a launcher but stock launcher on tablet because I can't find one that I like better

No need for a custom rom, the stock one is fine. I would root it and maybe install a custom recovery, but that's completely optional, plus adding a custom recovery has the disadvantage that it complicates things when you want to do an OTA update.
Some people prefer an alternate launcher, e.g. Nova.
But really, you don't need to do anything but add some apps.

Hello..
First let me say, any standard stylus will do just fine.. I would pick one that is your Girlfriends Favorite Color.. :good:
Personally.. If I were in your position knowing what I know about "Stock ROM's" vs "What's Available" to give her tablet *A Touch*..
The only Custom ROM I would install for her is the Mahdi-ROM.. It's 100% Stable ( The Most Important Thing ) and it's very Fluid and Fast.
Other than that, I would leave it completely stock since the Official 4.4.2 KitKat Update will most likely arrive in the next 60 days.
