Develop Bugs

Total noob new

Hey, all, just wanted to say that I'm new to Android and have probably been on here during the Samsung Blackjack days.
Any who, I need to be pointed on the right direction. What is the best ROM to use right now (stable)? I really hate the T-Mobile bloatware and have already rooted my phone, using the required steps given by this site.

Saying which ROM is best is very subjective. I would recommend trying dewizzed, macnut, and juggernaut. Those in my opinion and in same order are the most stable. Try each one for a days and see which one out ultimately feel suits you best. Everybody likes something different so start flashing and testing.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

I use spotify with my phone, does it need a specific ROM or it just needs to be based off of Gingerbread or whatever?

If you like the feel of the stock ROM, but want extra features and tweaks, go for Juggernaut. It is extremely fast, stable, and well developed overall.
And spotify should work.

Yea, I hear yea. What I meant to say is I want a stable ROM without the Tmobile bloatware and I want it to be faster than what is already loaded; a slimmed down version.

I think that's what I will do. Thanks for the info all!

Also, just wanted to ask because I didn't do a backup of my original ROM, would I search for stock rom in this sub-forum?

You would look in the development forum, there are quite a few ways to get back to stock.

havent used jugs in awhile but i believe you have lockscreen options under rom manager..and on the market there are tons lock screen replacements. go locker, magic locker, those are 2 good ones out of many. once you have either those simply find what theme you like.

[Q] Where Do I Start???

Hi To All,
I apologize for the maybe redundant question this forum doesn't have a lot of help/assistance. Coming from the senastion there was/is always someone ready to give help/advice. I bought the Samsung Galaxy S II T-989 yesterday and I am looking for help/direction to be able to flash BLACKEDITION FOR THE SGS2 4-3-2012-ICS. What do I do first, second, third and so on?
All help is very appreciated.

Make sure you wipe VERY THOROUGHLY! Use the super darkside wipe that can be found in our dev forums. Then flash. If you get bootloops, or get stuck at the boot screen for a crazy long time rewipe and try again. Remember that even on a successful flash it WILL hang on the samsung screen for quite a while. PM me if you need more help, sadly help is hard to come by around here.

I want to thank you for you kind response and offer to help. I am coming from the Sensation and everyone was always willing to help each other help it is like trying to move mountians. People often forget where they came from and their first time. I was fortuniate to come across damngood98 who helped me throught the whole process. Besides BlackEdition are there any other roms that have custom Icons?

We have really good gingerbread rims, ics is a bit too buggy for me. Try m & s Blu ray. Its heavily themed and beautiful and fast. 3 different themes to choose from with icons.

M&S does have nice roms and maybe they would look different on the phone but I had already chose and set up Darkside's rom. I was looking for a rom that gave 5 Icons ie (phone, contacts, messaging, application, home). I can't find TW Launcher on Darkside's Rom though.

If you haven't already tried it, Google search touchwiz 4.5. It runs a hell of a lot smoother than regular tw, and it's more customizable

I love Wicked Sensations Rom - Jelly Bean Style

I just wanted to say thank you for the hard work you put into this rom. It is great in every way. I don't have permission to post in the OP so I will link it so that anyone interested can check it out.

Thanks again to everyone who helped put this rom together. :good:

I agree. This is by far my favorite rom.

I have the s3 running this rom by far the best I hope he come out with 1 for the note 2

I've been using JellyBomb, but I'm going to try out Wicked.

update
Ok i just wanted to add this screen of my battery life and to be fair i haven't used it heavy today, pretty light. A lot of texting a few phone calls about 30 minutes total and medium facebook/twitter use. Today was a busy day at work so not much time to play but i am still impressed with the battery life.

Until recently i was on Strong Steve's odexed blue and switched wicked's while Steve was hosting to jelly bean. Both Roms are from team venum and both offer great visuals and features. I would advise anyone to try both Roms and decide for yourself.

Thank you all, glad your liking the rom. Always good to hear some nice feedback.

Please help with the "Updater"
Hi,
I am new to this rom and the Galaxy SIII. I come from a rooted Epic. I flashed this rom and so far I am loving it. I have two questions:
1. I read the entire Wicked Thread and I saw a lot of talk about the updater. I honestly don't know what the updater is and I am asking if someone could please explain it or point me in the right direction.
2. The background/wallpaper that the rom came with was awesome, but I tried a couple more. Now I want to go back to that background (the one that looks like snake skin, but can't find it anywhere. It shows up on certain apps but I would like it on my home screen. Thanks in advance!

Can you send me the explanation of how to get that back as well!? I did the same thing! Also, are we able to change the bottom 5 apps that float each screen?

Heard this ROM has a lot of mods. I'm going to have to try it out.

Both default wallpapers are in post #2 of the rom thread. On Apex you can change the dock icons, but I don't think in twlauncher you can.?

I'm going have to give this ROM a try!

been rockin this rom since the s2. still getting used to the s3.
you can change the dock icons by:
1 press and hold app icon to add app to homescreen
2 drag app icon over the dock icon you want to replace
it won't allow you to add icon from the app list directly to the dock, you have to add it to the homescreen first

wicked sensations!!!
I loved this rom so much I had my girlfriend instal it on her AT&T SGS3! She was stuck on CM10 until she got a hold of her phone running this rom!

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.

He said so in his general thread, said something about it being more stable or something like that.

ah, ok. thanks.

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.

Question about flashing and backup...

Hey guys,
I'm new to galaxy Note II. I was wondering if I could get a firmware with blue icons and without any AT&T crapware. Maybe a 4.2 version if possible. What is the best clean firmware which is closest to the generic android with blue icons. I prefer no mods or change in icons. On-buttons would be nice though.
Also how can I backup this rom completely so I can go back to the AT&T's firmware when I'm done with my contract. Any help would be appreciated .
Thank you,
SnowTauren
