Why TW based ROM's? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi, first of all thanx to all the DEV's that make all the beautiful rom's. I'm just curious why can't the dev's make rom's from CM7 build we have? They can make it better with their flavor.
No disrespect to any of the Dev's. Just wanted to know. I hate TW its killing the phones.

Actually there is a majority of people who like TW (I am not one), and its simple enough to throw away if u dont, so to say its killing out phone is a lil bit rediculous, also from my understanding (haven't used CM Builds l8ly) they change alot rom and kernel side to make it completely incompatible with AOSP/Stock FW, it would be alot of work to say the least, 2 CM7 IS ported I do believe, but still with bugs (ofc).
3 IF u want stock as possible u CAN download launcher2 or launchers developed from it.
4. There is very little pros that outweigh the cons (for me at least) to scrap what I've done and work from a new source, just to rebuild somebody elses and not really ever have it 100% the way u want, all devs code differently
And even though in my case I do like lookin through other devs work jus to see what they did, and maybe see my own swing on it or c if how they did something, but whether or not, the same thing remains, no matter the code, there's multiple ways to do it (usually) and something u do to somebody elses can usually have side effects xD from not knowing how they went about it that's simply probably y u see these roms geared from OTA sources and such is its way to.much effort to simply take a huge project like CM on and expect to get anywhere fast.
Not to say these devs ain't capable, just saying, u would need more then a few devs working on a base..

Thanx for the reply
TW is system wide, so changing the launcher it doesn't make it go away. And I know we have 2 rom's. I was saying why the dev's can't make the cm7 that we have better with their touch.

I never once said just changing the launcher makes it go away...
Its in the framework, ui, everywhere incl widgets that stock can only b used with TW..
But yet again, it is simple enough to get it out for the most part.
And the answer to ur question then is simple, didn't have needed resourses/sources for CM to add it directly, and devs here Probably have similar issues..

cm7 never got completed so the touchwiz roms are the most stable option.

i dunno how is working perfectly for you cm7 for our phones has a bunch of bugs for once you gotta leave gps on all the time..... anything that the phone needs to do landscape basically makes the app foreclose..... bunch of games that make the phone be in landscape is either really buggy or fs instantly..... Doesn't let you record in 1080p video also..... im sorry but you are cutting a bunch of features that the phone brings just to say you on cm7 not 2 smart in my opinion

Agreed its just not an "everyday use" ROM I prefer my TW stripped tank I gut here lmao
Only gut golauncher as home tho... can't w8 for ICS (well, I can, not lookin forward to reworkin all this crap xD).. so usin tablet GUI looks so sick xD wonder y they choose ugly ass colors for stock.. h8ed the green n not big on new blue either..
Haha just found out today after lookin at some of my libs (Never clued in b4) android builds are goin alphabeticly:
Eclaire
Froyo
Gingerbread
Honeycomb
Ice cream sandwich
Wonderin whats next cant think of a desert or entree that starts with "J"

I'm guessing since people are working on ICS and CM9, nobody wants to waste time on CM7. It would be nice to have a fully functional CM7 ROM though.

I don't understand how come I'm not having any force closes? In landscape or in any apps. And I use the phone heavy. Plus you don't have to leave the GPS on all the time. Only when you have to reboot the phone then.

We don't have the source for the CM7 rom, so it is hard to improve it.

**ABOUT THESE ROMS**​
These Roms are basically all WIP. They are for any dev that wants to take them over. Im switching to the sgsII and trading my ns4g.. which means I can not work on these
THIS ALSO MEANS THAT I CANNOT PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT FOR THESE!!
Also MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
I thought of this as a big christmas present, or holiday present, for you guys out there. Its also kinda a farewell gift, so enjoy
any dev is encouraged to take these roms and fix them, just give credit if you re-post it
I will have the rom, the download, and a not working list for each port. I will not have updates for these, this is up to other devs.
Some of these may have weird updater scripts, I didnt check them before upload because I like surprises
***THE GOODS***
Droid Razr Port (2.3.6)
not working-
-data
-images are too big, need to be resized
-wifi, bluetooth ( I realized that i suck at these, you will see in the other lists )

-random reboots related to sound

Sense 3.5 Port (2.3ish) (Radiance HD from the Evo 4g Forums! ) ( adb shows mBlockInputEventsBlocked is true when screen or buttons are pressed, so it knows they are there...)
not working
-touchscreen
-buttons
-most likely wifi and bluetooth
This rom seems to be completely functioning, i have recieved messages and it plays notifications, the touchscreen just doesnt work. So after first boot the screen shuts off, and thats it. This would be a good one to fix

Nice! I liked how you thought outside the box here. It will be nice if you bring some of your ideas/projects from here over there. The stock ROM has been tweaked in almost every possible way. Getting a Sense port or something really different on that big screen would be nice!

You guys really want TouchWiz? It's terrible. I have an Epic and all we try to do is get rid of it. I guess TouchWiz 4 is ok though.
If you want something, you can flash this zip

That'll give you the launcher.
I have the epic touch and am using my nexus until they can get ics on it touch whiz isn't that bad but its bad enough for me not to want to use the best phone on sprint. Plus I got my galaxy nexus so that's holding me over for the mean time

Many (myself included) felt the same way about Sense. I HATED Sense with a passion when I had my Evo, but some people actually wanted it ported over to the nexus.
It's bizarre... those that have a bloated mess of a launcher/fork want vanilla or themed aosp - and nexus owners with vanilla aosp want the bloated Sense mess.

I personally just wanted something other than stock vanilla, miui, tweaked stock vanilla, cm7 vanilla, themed stock vanilla etc.. so I went for random things that maybe not everyone wanted really bad, like the droid razr port or sense 3.5.
I started to hate aosp on my nexus, it was the worst thing and i would have rather flashed froyo sense..

Touchwiz on the Epic Touch is nothing like it was on the Epic. It is blazing fast and smooth. If I could change the icons, I would never use a 3rd party launcher but ADW EX has me hooked right now

I have had this phone for a couple days and have tried every rom in the dev section, when nothing is extraordinary from stock.
Wheres everyone at? I know this phone is pretty popular, but we dont have alot of devs. The dev section is damn near dead. Not many selections

Besides, the roms we have are awesome and are constantly developed and improved.
We have some fantastic devs here!
Not sure what you're looking for op, but a good deal of the mods I can think of are already incorporated into many of the roms.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I can kinda see where the OP is coming from. On the G2X forums the stock roms were very very customized. These are all "tweaked" stock roms with little difference between the many... based off different bases, and have "build prop" tweaks and "init.d" tweaks, animations and so on. The att section has truly optimized and custom stock roms.
I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining cause I use aokp and cm10 mostly. But it'd be nice to have the extremely custom stock options like att users got.

With JellyBean around the corner, it will kinda slim for awhile, like the above post, all are stable that are there, and well maintained. I agree good devs here....

You and I both know a ton of customization was required to make the G2x usable. That is not the case with the GS3.

True. I'm also coming from the G2x and even tho we did I tend to stay closer to stock because I actually like tw. I will occasionally flash cm nightly just for ****s and giggles.
Sent from my SGH-T999
I don't mean customization for stability. I mean like whitehawkX edt tweaks and such. ATT roms have skipping tracks via long press on volume rocker and such. We have good stuff but it'd be awesome to have more options then different color stock roms. Most of the stuff I want is flashable any ways. Just a little rant... I'm just happy this thing is stable no matter what haha.

I wasn't trying to complain a lot. It was mainly what the above poster said. Just not a lot of variety like some phones have. Don't get me wrong, we have some of the best devs on the sgs3. I just like more options though
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
In my opinion OP Android is maturing and the devices are much more usable than they once were with now just minor annoyances now.. There will be more development soon but the GS3 is enjoyable stock with tweaks for now... Such was the case with the OG Vibrant when Team Whiskey and Eugene tweaked and enhanced stock Twiz and the dev scene for that device took off and is still prevalent with the Vibrant being one of the first devices to run a stable JB... As a matter of fact because of devices like the Vibrant we have many of the staple dev names we see amongst many threads amongst many forums and for several devices including this one, for example Whitehawkx, Annex and others..
Stay tuned as I suspect it is going to be fun..
Those devs aren't focusing on TW at all. They have cm10 and variants to do and kernels to work on. Things are especially going to die down for a little with JellyBeen coming around the corner.

If you want features of an AT&T ROM flash an AT&T ROM.. what's stopping you? They work fine if you set up the APNs correctly. I mean look at the i9100 forums. There's so many ROMs there but all of the touchwiz ROMs differ in what, a few build.prop lines and a theme? I'm not trying to attack you I just am not understanding what exactly you or OP are asking for. I understand some features aren't in our ROMs but like I said, flash an AT&T one if you want that feature. Or flash CM10, we have that feature

You said you mostly use CM10/AOKP but you won't flash an AT&T ROM because of no WiFi calling? You can set up WiFi calling on any ROM you want. I do it on CM10. Sure it is roundabout and not T-Mobile WiFi calling but it's still free and still WiFi calling.

Good answer. Seriously. All of the stocks only differ by a color here and a icon there. Running the Cm10 nightlies, and seeing the new additions and fixes is what I'm impressed with. I am sure soon, we will see more roms being done with the cm10 base and others. My daily, is CM10 period. Seen enough of the stock stuff. HTC MyTouch took awhile, but was flooded later with some good roms.

Slow down tiger, We have a large abundance of ICS and JB roms available to everyone. Go into the evo 4g development section and look for some. For a nice organized catalog of all roms, check out the roms and kernel list in the stickies and find something you like.
Ics is almost fully working anyway. Minus 4G, FFC and some choppy video recording, its quite interesting. Best of luck to you!

The issues with ICS and JB are similar. No 4G/FFC and maybe some I am not aware of. Although there is 4G where I live, it's spotty and horrendous and I have moved to ICS as JB is still pretty laggy.

Can you form an opinion about your own rom?
And say it publicly like on the threads...?
(Not that I'm going too I'm just wondering )

New Rom Ideas

I have been battling back and forth between touchwiz roms and AOSP roms. . So if any developers are looking for a new rom to make, here is my idea (yes, i know it is not a new idea and has been done on many devices). What i would like to have is the stabilty and battery life of a UVDLJA rom including touchwiz launcher, with AOSP lockscreen, inverted AOSP contacts and messenger.I don't know if its possible, but could there be options for this using aroma in the touchwiz roms?
Something I saw while working in the s2 board with my wife's phone was a rom with a touchwhiz base and the aokp rom control features added, I personally would love something like that

TL;DR... I agree on the new rom idea lol. And I *****ed and moaned about the roms we have all in relativity are too damn close to each other. But I still respect their hard work, and praise them all as they are doing things I wish I could do.
I wish I had the knowledge and computer strong enough to do this kinda work, I would've had the rom up and running so long ago lol... I used my phone to get most of it working. building sounds and apps into a rom little things here and there just started to break I gave up.
This would be my ultimate DD never have to flash a rom again. I absolutely despise the "nature" that Samsung built in to this phone.
We have about 3 sounds mods everyone focuses on, some cameras and Keyboards people build into the rom, some awesome themes I'm extremely happy with. I would really like a TW rom with all AOSP sounds instead of the water drops and stuff. Camera from TW, LockScreen from AOSP, Notification and Status bar options from AOKP, 4.2 little things here and there as options.
Know I mean no disrespect and I do appreciate what our guys do in the Dev section.
I miss the devs that worked on those kinda things. We have great guys here (I might get [email protected] for this one) but in general they all seem to be adding the same things; Acid, Beats, Walkman music, removing other Samsung Apps while others keep them. They all leave bloat like LTETest, and LTEsettings in the /system/app folder. I could keep going and going. Know I mean no disrespect and I do appreciate them again. But where are the old roms like we used to get (mentioned above) we had some great stuff in the G2X also. We had roms that had custom lockscreens to launchers and all sorts of neat things I would've never expected. Maybe it's time I stop helping the stupids and save up and get a new computer with the power to build roms as well. (I won't release them to people though lol)
i know the exactly what you guys need
here's a preview (the MyTouch 4G Version):
of course, instead of "Senseless" it would be "TouchWizLess"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440993
give me a couple weeks to really get to know this phone (and find time...high school life w00t) and i'll see what i can do
I am in the process of developing a ROM. Nothing solid yet. I really do agree with keeping the stability and features of stock with some aosp features. At least for me I'll be a start with dev work. I have a Mac so I've already downloaded xcode and working and following dxsidia as guide. It'll take me a while since I work 10 hour shifts at the hospital and also do some website dev on the side.

I'm glad to see people wanting to work on this. I believe it will make a great DD. It seems I'm one of the few that really like the touchwiz launcher and Widgets, but I ask you to please include that in the rom. People can easily download the other launchers from the market.
I agree, anything that is downloadable from the market should stay there. It's great that you can include something in a rom, but so can simply pressing the install button. Any thing that is already a flashable .zip (like beats) or (acId sounds mod) should stay as a flashable .zip. Just my opinion.
In the ATT galaxy S3 forums, there is a rom called nexusmod reloaded that is close to what I am referring to. Its based on ics and I don't think it has inverted apps that we like.

Ya, that's pretty close to what we're talking about here. I think I flashed that rom a while back now that you point it out. I'm sure we will get something soon.

Damn... I am 41 years old and I love electronic toys. You are making me feel very old. Well young'n, when you get a rom together let me know. I have tested for a couple of devs and understand how to run a logcat. I did a little theme work on the musty trusty HD2. I know a little bit, but run a family business plus I'm back at night school taking care of some unfinished business but I am happy to help.

dude, you totally can.
easiest way, though, would be to disable your lockscreen and try out widget locker or something like that.
as far as the inverted apps go, i would hit up some of the guys in the themes and apps section. wouldn't take very long to whip something like that up... hell, even the lockscreen wouldn't take very long to modify.
why CM chooses to build from the source of another device is beyond me. it would be much easier to customize the layout/UI, parameters, and make it functional with the firmware meant for this thing, and you would keep all the functionality of TW.
anyways, yeah.
There is this great divide feeling as I've been playing with my new S3, and it really brings homage to the Linux scene (compare: xfce vs kde vs gnome, etc.).
Though I've settled on TouchWiz for now, there are some things I wish were an option and not "just the way it is".
I finally got kitchen working on my Mac. Got a base up and will hopefully be able to post it later. This is my plan since we be seen this throughout. People want stability of stock and those who love tw features will love this. I will be implementing aroma installer later when I get that injected. I've only built a ROM before for myself but never posted it. It'll be theme free and since it'll be stock most stock themes should work. I basically want people to do the work on their own. If they want to add volume mods like beats , they should flash it on their own . This is an experiment to get my foot out there and I'd love the support. Any name suggestions. ??

Idk if this is possible but I always enjoyed the 7 recent apps by drop pulling the notification bar. Just my personal preference, don't really like the hold the home button to see the recent apps.
Quick question guys, how hard would it be to port a sense rom? I know if it were easy we would have a few, but just how hard is it?

What about using an 4.2 launcher and some status bar tweaks.

Mod that you can flash on any jelly bean rom.
Can you customize the navbar to add more buttons / change shortcuts? That's a feature I can't live without.
nevermind, saw my answer in the other thread. it's aokp based so yes it does.
Any plans to update it to a 4.2 base? I would prefer to stay on the latest.

So.. Not trying to knock on this but what is different from yours to his?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145783
I mean don't get me wrong, I'm definitely checking this out when I wake up, downloaded and ready to go! But just curious, also yes that is toro ported and works just fine.
Edit: Fantastic ROM, has done stuff I've wanted for months.. and that's where it ends. I honestly will not use this ROM until it changes base. AOKP is the worst, that's my opinion but you got yourself a fantastic ROM here. If these apps and various other apks aren't framework dependent then I'll use some in a different ROM.
Again amazing ROM, you have done what I've been trying to do for months and namely the walkman widget is one. I hope you change the base.

It is great, but a little laggy. Will it get faster in the future? As well as this, the themes do not work. Any way to fix this? I am not trying to be mean, and by NO means am I a developer. I am amazed how you got this to work, and just want to help.
EDIT: The lag fixed itself, I dont know what happened. That is fine. Only problem is It wont reboot after first successful boot. It probably is Android Tweaker Pro. It is a great app, but also caused my stock rom to randomly reboot.

To answer a few of your questions. (Im updating thread now to)
1. I do plan on updating to 4.2 just need to update the code a bit and wait for the lockscreen to get ported.
2. Yes its based on AOKP 4.1.2
3. My rom is different because im going to take the time to keep it updated with anything new and im always constantly working on new ports to add to it. Its also more featureful, and its going to support toro and toroplus as soon as i get 4.2 working.
4. WHY YOU HATE AOKP SO MUCH? JK im using any base that i find most stable, im pretty sure im going to switch it for the 4.2 update since AOKP is constantly releasing updates for it and it will be hard to keep up with it.
5. Lag? I really have not noticed any lag besides the Xperia live wallpaper, thats sony's fault for not optimizing the app properly.
This ROM is running great. Loaded lean kernels latest stable 4.8 and all is good. A nice break from AOSP.

Oh, I've never heard of this then lol
The AOKP hate, its opinion but on both devices I've owned they been just so horrible and cheesy.. I don't like that swag button. The features are lacking. Honestly I'm on a stable base of 4.2.2, using Orca. The features are just amazing. I'm guessing because I tried the apks is that a lot of this framework doesn't really work for 4.2.2? I mean this is basically an Xperia ROM. I'm really impressed, I'm really hoping we can eventually get an actual port but I doubt it.
Secretly "I want a W8 port" love the style they use. Call me whacky lol.. But this is awesome you've made a breakthrough, or well your the only person who technically cares to do something like this. So I appreciate it this a lot man.
Edit: 4.1 doesn't bother me, we basically miss out on the status bar features. Just the base.

Just a quick note of congratulations and thanks, +Hyperrunner. I've been with Android since the first G1s were shipped, and this port reminds me of all the really inventive, well-done ports that we saw for the G1 back when other devices and models began to appear. I've been waiting for a really cool port to put on the GNex (which has had excellent but slightly bland firmware as stock from the beginning), and this Xperia port of yours really hits the spot. I think the AOKP base was a great choice. If it plays well with Linux Deploy and continues to be stable, this will become my primary ROM. Thanks a bunch, you deserve donations for your contribution to the Android community!
Thank you this ROM is pretty sweet love the look. Nice to have something other than stock for once

You say there is Bravia Engine, is it just not a setting and always on? If that is the case, awesome.
Yes, bravia engine is always on its more of a configuration then an app. Its always one and it helps display pictures better.
