Develop Bugs

POSSIBLE ICS Rom...want everyones take!

Ok I have been a major lurker on xda for a while. I just created an xda profile a few days ago and made my first contribution with a hacked hulu plus app. Now I want to make a bigger contribution. In the form of a ROM. Ive got my build environment up and running smooth.
Now I dont want any donations. You wont find any donations links any where. I hack and build for fun. This community has many taliented developers. I just hope to merge what I know into real world stuff.
Now my question to the community is what do you want to see in a Rom? Features? Tweaks?

I was going to help you out with info till I seen that you like TW...
The reason is because I know of only none TW roms since TW is the crappiest thing since sliced bread.

Same. It's very smooth and I like it a lot. Lmk when you get an ICS TW ROM with good battery life like EL29.

Just a fully functional ICS Stock rom that plays nice with the battery is all I can really ask for
You developers spend enormous amount of time and effort to provide to this community and it'll be absurd for people to "expect" ANYTHING. Thank you in advance for any future work you provide for the community.

Settings like AOKP with status bar changes and lockscreen changes and a theme engine would be sweet also.

A tweak that allows force roaming like on some evo 3d roms. I need something like that.

As long as it's a TW Rom that would be awesome. I like TW and there's a **** ton of people that add launchers to their roms, might as well get CM or AOKP.
Again TW and fast would be nice to see. I have had bad luck with ICS, my phone always hangs for some reason on all leaks.
Thanks in advance.

an aosp ics rom with every single customization option imported from aokp, codename, gummy, slim, and cm9. if you can get that with flawless mms, camera/camcorder, great battery life, with no service or data loss, and properly working sdcard, then you'll have yourself the best aosp rom available hands down.

This may be asking a lot, but i would love to see some of the tweaks for this ROM added. It may be kernel tweaks so i dont know if it is possible. My Mother's phone is running it and after 2 days she still has 50% battery.

Edit: It seems kernel development has slowed down a lot here for our ET4G. I see this topic is for an ICS ROM so oops.

It would be nice to see some of the UI from the Note.

Honestly, would just like to see what you come up with. It can be TW based, aokp, cm9.... either way, there is going to be someone not pleased with your work. I think you should just pick and choose what you like, put it together, and the community will love you for it. I myself do prefer a nice lock screen mod (like maddoggin and the new aosp mod). The launcher I could give two s#*T's about, as long as it runs smooth. The best of luck to you. Hope to see some good things in the future.

Im a huge fan of the cm9 launcher but i like the TW UI and Camera. Im thinking of a Touchwizless rom. it has the look and feel of aosp but with the great aspects of TW.

Wow.. i see people askin for tuings that have already been done.. all i ask for is somthing unique! Not a stock ice or stock tw ics, i mean incorporate all you can but don just add all features that we have already.. come on guys think of somethin crazy awesome that is doable

A touch wiz ROM with mods like AOKP (status bar notification and lockscreen mods ) and behaves like AOKP, the reason behind it being a touchwiz ROM is because the little touchwiz touches are nice( video player, working led, HW accelerated UI and browser and etc) ,putting other UI's might just cause problems (battery and lag). Yet I can only dream!! Just an idea. If this is even possible.

Stock touch wiz ICS ROM themed the look like ICS and fix that darn notification bug.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

My opinion is to offer options.
Help swamp goblin port sense 4.0.
Help maintain and update MIUI if needed.
Port over motoblur (just so peeps can try it)
Help tcp if needed with aokp or cma or gummy.
Etc. Etc. The more options we have, the happier everyone will be.
While not a rom, how about porting the cm9 reloaded mod to our phone. The systemUI of the mod needs to be merged with ours to get the 4g toggle and other stuff working. I would do it, but time isn't something I have at the moment.

[Q] Pure Google ICS without Touchwiz?

I know there is one thread labeled it is the only official ICS thread, but I have a slightly different question...
My vibrant broke, and there was literally a ton of ICS roms for Vibrant... now with the Galaxy S2 I see plenty of ICS roms, but they all seem to have some kind of touchwiz basis... I hate touchwiz with a passion. I love the way google sets the phone up like on the Nexus...
Are there any roms that are just lightweight pure and simple ICS roms for the SII?
I'd love any responces and i'm not trying to troll i've searched a bit with no results.
Thank you anyone.

Also i know about the APEX launcher I was just wondering if there is something more direct.

CM9 and AOKP will both give you a pretty stock or more than stock experience.
Miui is a whole different ball game but not touchwiz

The cm or aokp roms, but they aren't fully functional.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Slightly off topic but why get SII when you can get the nexus? Sounds like you would love that phone more... and cheaper too.
Anyways, AKOP/CM9 is probably your best bet when dev gets really rolling on it with an official source release.

Because 4g.

Waiting for source.

This. Ppl that have had the s2 since long before you are also sick of touchwiz but there is nothing the devs can do to remove it completely till we get source

Questions go in the Q&A section

Coming from the Vibrant I had a pure google ICS rom and it was fully functional...
CM9/AOKP which would you guys pick. CM9 still in the alpha stages and really buggy? I would just like something stable..

Hello Peeps!

Im not new here because i have always looked around the forums when i had older phones. Now that I have a galaxy s 3 for tmobile, i felt the need to get on here and realize the true potential of this beast phone.Very interested in android developement and making this phone shine. Im ready for everyones input on whatever i have to say and will be all ears.

This phone shines out of the box. There is no need to worry about losing your imei anymore. So you can root and flash normally now. My opinion. Cm is losing its flavor. All the features of touch wiz are amazing and not really worth losing.

Glad to have you here. I'm running the euroskank nightlies. Got jelly bro indeed?
Cyanogen mod is not losing its swag. A lot of them including Cyanogen work for Samsung.
Miui team as well.
That's why touchwiz doesn't suck as much.
Still sucks though. Jk
Peace

Before doing anything you should backup your IMEI though.

I use to never flash anything besides cyanogen mod. Ever since the g1 days. I had the Htc one S and gave sense a chance for the first time and altho I never felt quite comfortable I found it pretty nice and less bloated than previous builds. I then upgraded to this beast (sgs3) and I absolutely love touchwiz. I don't see me flashing cm until most bugs are sorted out and if they add a better camera, and the touchwiz motion shortcuts which I find myself using more than I thought.
I don't see what people don't like about touchwiz. It's clean and simple which is what made me fall in love with cm. I'm sure cm probably is less bloated under the hood but I'm not ready to part with touchwiz. I'll wait for cm10 stable.

CM is meant to provide a vanilla android experience... what do you expect.

Touchwiz is full of dark colors with blue. My favorite color. Maybe that's why I love it.

I can't believe I'm saying this...

...But I am actually loving Touchwiz... I usually hate overlays but some of the features on TWIZ makes it hard to go back to AOSP based ROMs, as much as I love them (and I reallllllly love AOSP) I keep finding myself wanting to TWIZ it up. Anyone else have a new found love?

Have to agree tw on this phone rocks.
Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.

i went to aokp and cm10 loved it but keep going back to tw......the features usually put in phones are usually corney as h*** but the ones samsung implemented in this phone is amazing and when im on cm10 and aokp i seem to missing those little extra bonus's touchwiz has.

Loving the Wiz since Epic Touch

i know what you mean. I like smart stay stay and the move up to your ear to call feature. Some nice options in the settings too, but cm10 has more.

TW is nice without being too much. I'm sold.

Not sure if it's just because it's something new and different but I'm really diggin' TW after two HTC devices with Sense.

It's one of the reasons I stayed with Sammy instead of going to the OneX. The TW additions really improve android. I only wish they would make the TW launcher more flexible. I gave up on custom ROMs on my Epic 4G and so far I haven't found anything I like better than stock on my SGS3 either.

Yes the new TW on the S3 is the best. I love all the added new features.

Smart Stay and most motion features still work on other launchers btw.

Ditto. I ran sense 1.0-3.0 on my Evo OG and TW on the SGS3 is much much better. I also think TW looks "cleaner" than Sense. I'm just really satisfied with my SGS3. It's going to be a long time before I replace it.

I began liking TW towards the later stages of Gingerbread on my OG Epic. AOSP is great, no question, but Sammy really has done a good job of the 'less is more' attitude with skins. There seems to be enough benefits to keep it around and enough to differentiate themselves, but it's not bogging your whole phone down like Sense can either.
It's like the took a page from Norton and did it the other way! Norton used to be great for anti-virus stuff, but now, that crap steals every single resource your computer has, and then some...

I also agree. Coming from a long line of HTC devices and a Motorola thrown in there, I think TW has a much lighter footprint than Sense and Motoblur.

I'm coming from the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon and I ran Jelly Bean on it since the day after Google announced it, and loved it.
Since moving to Sprint and the Galaxy S III and have not even thought about flashing a Jelly Bean ROM, okay, so I thought about it but can't bring myself to flash one and lose all the cool motion features.
But I am running Apex Launcher...

Add me to the list. I have been a fan since the original Epic and it just keeps getting better to me. I was checking out the Galaxy Nexus at Sprint one day a while back and I had to put it down. I was so used to Touchwiz I couldn't handle it. Felt like a let down.

Surprisingly i feel the same way.
Hated touchwiz on the Epic and Epic 4g Touch
but on the s3, it's not as instrusive and actually adds alot of functionality.
And that's cause I come from a Gnex running Jelly Belly... It's impressive.
I never though id say this, but I'm loving touchwiz.

So it is January now...

and Telus hasn't released Jellybean like they promised. I guess we will continue to play the waiting game for Official Jellybean. :crying:

Has it even been long enough for you guys to all be crying over updates?

It is possible he is wanting an official release so he can have wi-fi calling. I personally don't like the CM based roms since my banks website doesn't work with any of them, whether it was on my vibrant, G2x, MyTouch 4G or my galaxy s II. So it's clearly something with the CM coding that makes my banks website not work correctly. That's a major deal breaker for me.

He's talking about the update from telus. Telus doesn't support wi-fi calling.

OP needs to just flash CM10 already.
Why wait for something that you can have now?
Of course he could be wanting an update with Touchwiz, in which case i have no idea how to help (p.s. Stock launcher is better than TW)

I am personally awaiting an official JB update as well. While our phone has great developer and community support I am itchy for some product butter. That amazing smoothness is one of the main reasons I have been running ASD's Tweakwiz even though I'm usually always loyal to AOSP

Well yeah its a better device but if JB was working the way it is meant to on this device it would be better than it is now. The devs do a great job here but would be able to do more with an official, stable rom.
