New gingerbread rom

I'm curious... why hasn't anybody attempted to create a rom or release a stock rom for the new gb base update? The enhancements made seem to be iight.

Yes. Based on yesterday's GB base or a leaked incomplete ICS base. Not exactly "miles ahead".

Because its gingerbread.

According to THIS article dated May 2nd, only 5% of phones are running ICS. Its not like its widely used yet. We on XDA just get antsy sometimes and WANT IT NOW.

TDJ is planning on updating his GB ROM to the new GB update. Since GB is not the hottest thing, he is taking his time with it

Sticking with GB, I have yet to see a DD ICS Rom that isn't having a lot of issues. There is no source yet, or proper kernel. I'm patient, and until we get Team Kang's work on that, I have my ASUS 300T, so. Lol

Have u tried darkside ics? How could u say that's not a daily driver? Its almost flawless.
I'm using aokp unofficial 0514 as a daily driver and no complaints here.

Only 5% because majority of the older devices will never get it. Plus I doubt that's the right figure after a month passed by. OTA coming soon too.

I have tried darkside... its okay. definitely hard work was put in and i definitely appreciate it. but its really not totally stable. sometimes it seems to hang and i gotta reset the phone. one time, it hung and my alarm didnt go off... so i missed an interview...
i was just surprised given the fact that the gb base is totally stable while the ics one is kinda pieced together so i just assumed that somebody would have made something with it by now. its been out for a lil while. lol

Good things come to those who wait. As long as that new T-Mobile official ics doesn't drop within the next week, I am going to finish up the new LDE rom base for dw v3. When I work on a rom I like to run it so I can identify the issues. So I plan on finishing this up soon

I am currently running wanam's 1.1 version of his stock-based ROM. Been running it for 2 days and has felt much smoother and battery friendly than stock! ATT and Samsung apps are flashable later through CWM which like. LOVE this ROM. Only known issue that I have seen is the 1080p recording for the camera. It does record in 720p though. Thanks!

I ran CM !0 for a few days but I used a Mac and MTP doesn't work so its a bit of a deal breaker for me, but in all fairness its Extremely stable to be an Alpha build. My first android phone was the G1 and then on to the Nexus One so i'm a sucker for AOSP based android roms and for Cyanogen Mod in general so ill be running it when the MTP gets sorted out on my Mac.
I tried Wanams rom, I remember him from my SGS2, Hes a great Dev & its really stable as well.
The best all around so far for me is AndroidUser00110001's Rom linked below. I've found the wifi disconnect problem that i was having with the other TW Roms is gone and it has had the best over all balance of performance and stability.

When it comes to battery life there literally is none better, he did a fantastic job with his ROM. It takes a performance hit at times but its to be expected.
Overall, AOKP has everything I want, sans killer battery life

I have looked at it, and the one I have installed on my phone even has the Aurora designation I intend to use if I publicly release a rom for this phone, so we will see.
Also, son of a *****, godaddy didn't auto-renew my domain. Guess I will need a new one.

A buddy of mine just got the S3 and isn't into the touchwiz and nature theme. He just got the phone yesterday so I've been looking for the best custom rom with everything working. Any suggestions? I know it's early in the game and I might be asking too much. I've been searching and haven't been able to find much. Thank you for any suggestions.

I used Aura on my Atrix for the longest time. I like the stability of kyan's ROM. I just know the layout and I like the dandelion/water unlock screen LOL. I liked CM10 and had no issues. I plan on trying AOKP tonight. I like the drop down 15 toggles mainly because they are quick to get to and turn on and off like torch and brightness modes.

Definitely AOKP. Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean versions are awesome. I've yet to find any bugs that keep it from being a daily driver. In fact I've found none. But I haven't used it that in depth much, we shall see.
But I put my vote in for AOKP. By far the best, and I only flash for AOSP based ROMs anyways. :good:

AOKP JellyBean and ktoonsez JB kernel. Those guys rock. Never seen a preview work so well, looking to see what's to come.

Nothing but hell since ICS

I have had nothing but hell out of this phone since ICS. Has anyone had a lot of problems with ICS or is it just me? Nothing works consistently anymore. I believe this phone has become unreliable.

I did. :/
The several i tried lasted a week at the latest. But most did the same thing as stock ics. Calls never recieved, voicemails never received. Once i couldn't dial out and it took three flashes to fix it. I got a new one from sprint but i really just don't know if i want to go through anymore drama.

Try OC EL29, you'll get no bugs, and a better battery life than on ICS.

Still had trouble with ics and el 29. I tried just running GB but that message never goes away. Its always trying to download and killing my battery and connection. I never had this niche trouble with my evo 4g

There's an unrooted trick that is said to kill the update notification.

The devs did a great job with the ROMs but its not the same like gingerbread since Samsung and sprint screwed our ICS, every custom ROM I tryed still has that nasty super fast scroll, it has that glitchy freezing up a bit also when scrolling. OP if you want ICS you will need to get on an aosp ROM or cm9 and aokp that's the closest and smoothness of ICS you will get or you could just roll back to gingerbread.
Another thing is there's a lot of folks that would claim how smooth these ICS custom ROMs are but in reality it isn't its either you guys are blind or your just to into and to used to ICS that it blended in you guys soul.every time I roll back to gingerbread I see a huge difference in smoothness and butter heck even these jellybean aosp and cm10 ROMs are way smoother then the ICS that Samsung and sprint gave us.

One piece of advice: Go get sfhub's stock ek02 or eg30 auto package. Start from the beginning and go back and flash an ICS ROM. That usually fixes any bugs. :good:
I don't know about the other ICS ROMs but I have tried CM9 and Blu Kuban and they come as close to perfection as we could've gotten without source kernel. Haven't fully tried ICS since just because I prefer the better battery life of GB though.

I'm on cm10 and the battery is much better than anything I got in ICS, and I've tried half the ROMs out there. Blue kuban, codename, cm9, aokp, etc. The cm10 ROM is freaking amazing. Honestly, try it. You won't regret it

Look, if you are doing everything right as you say, and are having problems that are making your phone "hell," the problem is likely your device itself. I have personally never had issues with any ICS builds, from the leaks, to the OTAs, to CM9. And the latest FH23 leak gives me excellent battery life. Unfortunately, since you didn't give any more information to go on than the fact that you phone has been hell, I have no further advice to give you then to get your phone replaced. Again, I have had no issues with ICS. Running much smoother than GB.

I have never had any battery life issues. All my problems revolve around the phone part of my smart phone. I didn't start a thread to cry as as one jerk off suggested, I am having huge problems around ICS that is making my phone worthless. Even this replacement phone that i just activated is getting **** phone reception compared to my old one with GB. If they both have ICS installed they both get crap signal. I wonder.if its related to Sprint.

First thing, have you updated profile and PRL? If so, have you tried using the ODIN one-click to go back to EL29 ROM, kernel, and modem? Let's start there. If you are having no issues using EL29 as I suggested, we can further explore this being an ICS-related issue. Otherwise, it could very well be Sprint. If that works fine, use ODIN to install the latest FH23 leaked ROM, kernel, and modem. Forget flashing through recovery for now, and only use the one-clicks that erase user data. Also, do you have these issues everywhere you go, or is this localized to a particular area? To put it simply, for 2 phones to be having an identical problem (given a device that is not really known for having problems) is very strange, which leads me to blame Sprint in your particular area. But if you say that you did not have these issues on GB, let's explore that further. ODIN EL29 and report back.

[Q] What is a solid stable ROM for a light user?

My GF now has the S3, and she's very light in terms of tech savy. I flashed a CM10 nightly build for her to start her phone out, but it's been hanging and lagging a bit from time to time, and that more than anything else bothers her.
Should i just put her back on stock, or is there a great option that isn't so cutting edge but will be sure to be bug free and solid and smooth for her?
The issue is it's not in my hands so i can't play around with it a lot to test and see, she'll just complain if it doesn't work perfect lol.

I'd say Ariel or Kyan rom for normal use and you can throw on KT747 ICS touchwiz kernel as well. I wouldn't do any of the JB based roms atm if you want pure stability.

I like Slim ROM but it really comes down to personal preference. Take a couple hours and flash a couple different ones. Does she want TW or pure Android. There are just so many choices...it might be an interesting experience getting her to participate in the testing since it is her phone.

Try out Tasks AOKP, it's really nice. I just switched to black jelly last night and I'm liking it so far, battery hasn't been great my first day, but it should get better.

+1 for Task/Ktoonsez AOKP JB ROM - its flawless!

+1 for kyan. All the jellybean roms are sweet but always had issues with video recording (very low audio). For a lite user I would say stick to ICS.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium

If she likes CM10, I suggest flashing the "M" versions as those are the monthly stable builds (latest one was around 15th of October). Anyways AOKP is good, it was released a week or so ago and I find it very stable and battery life is better than CM10 (in my own experience). Anyways just do whatever she likes. Most people recommend Kyan so do whatever she or you want.

Stock 4.0.4 works near perfect for me. It is under rated. I have disabled bloatware and added some tweaks but honestly, it rocks fine. Ultra reliable. I am a guy who spent over 1.5years tweaking with my legendary HD2...using custom kernels and cm roms, and never 100% happy...yet the S3 out of the box...kicks butt.

BlackJelly if you want JB. kyanRom if you want ICS.
To the guy who said BlackJelly was poor for battery life: I just went over 5 hrs of screen time with it. It's amazing.

Thinking of just upgrading her to stock JB now that's it's available. I would love to flash a rom but since she will only complain about problems, not really notice advantages, I lean towards keeping her stock. Unless there's a hands down choice that will be STABLE

Give ECLIPSE ROM a try.

Now what?

Alright so we got our jelly bean update and so far all the stock based custom ROMs are stable from the most part, mod have been added for speed tweaks and battery life. So far so good. Now what? Lol what do we do in the meantime? Just find mods and see what people would like and see if they can be implemented in ROMs? I've flashed almost everything and TW on every ROM is stable if the source was official JB for t999. The AOSP ROMs are stable for the most part with very minor things not working. Kernels have squeezed as much performance from the board of this phone as much as possible (don't expect any kernel to bring you 7000+ on quadrant). So what now? The o my progress that's happening mostly is getting aosp 4.2 on this by tw is descent in my opinion. What will you guys be doing in the meantime? Look at other threads and find mods?

It's refreshing not having to keep up with the grind every now and then. Especially with the holidays upon us, time is scarce and free time is better spent doing other things than dealing with crackflashing habits.

Exactly. What now is what annoys me about xda. It makes it seem like people don't actually enjoy their phone. I actually found xda by mistake back she. I had a vibrant. I actually left for a while because I was pretty much the same way. Flashing and reseting y phone pretty much daily trying out new ROMs. When things got stable I asked the same question as op. Realized I never actually used my phone. I don't root very much but come here for advice and for new news. I've tried flashing roms but I actually use my phone and have a life to live. Be happy things are stable. That's my advice. Its an addiction.

Lol actually, i do use my phone. Back when we had ICS, there was jelly bean but i kept going back and fourth between jelly bean AOSP and stock TW ics. found that TW was solid but had a few issues with Bluetooth which i used with my Bluetooth headsets. So I was on AOSP and back and fourth. I have been on JB TW since it dropped and haven't flashed since. lol so i guess im just adjusting to not flashing weekly. But even when flashing, i would use my phone pretty often. for now, im going to just stay here, add the mods that i want, and look for the ones i need (skip track with volume rocker w/ screen off) and then i will delete the app from my phone and come here every 2 weeks.

Now we wait for 4.1.2 so we can get multi view like the note 2.
Other than that, most of us will have moved on to SGS4 by the time the S3 gets 4.2.

I thankfully got this out of my system back with my Vibrant. At some point I just realized that I was doing... Nothing with my phone. I'd switch out ROMs and the like, but ultimately.. I just went back to stock with a custom kernel and a few tweaks for speed and performance. But mostly had it set to spiffy fast and ultra usable.
I've done the same with my GS3. I didn't care much for the ROMs I have seen out there, so went back to stock. Now I have Jelly Bean on here, with a custom kernel and rooted. Got it running outrageously smooth and fast. What more do I need? My phone is as good as it is going to get until 4.2 and hopefully whatever comes after that.
So I use it. I show it off to people. I achieve great computing and processing needs when out and about. I like my phone. I don't need anything more out of it than what I got.
I just hang out at XDA for if anything new ( feature, app, etc. ) comes out that seems neat, if an error crops up, or quick fixes.

Alright so we got our jelly bean update and so far all the stock based custom ROMs are stable from the most part, mod have been added for speed tweaks and battery life. So far so good. Now what? Lol what do we do in the meantime? Just find mods and see what people would like and see if they can be implemented in ROMs? I've flashed almost everything and TW on every ROM is stable if the source was official JB for t999. The AOSP ROMs are stable for the most part with very minor things not working. Kernels have squeezed as much performance from the board of this phone as much as possible (don't expect any kernel to bring you 7000+ on quadrant). So what now? The o my progress that's happening mostly is getting aosp 4.2 on this by tw is descent in my opinion. What will you guys be doing in the meantime? Look at other threads and find mods?

well, i would disagree with you there.
as far as your question, we should just enjoy our devices.

I'm pretty set on the rom I'm using (JB touchwiz) now but would like 4.2 camera to fully work, skipping tracks with screen off... everything else works just the way I want. So little mods is all I can ask for and want now a days.

I am on JB touchwiz and i am running the 4.2 without any issues at all. You need to make sure you uncheck the location tagging option when installing it. The photosphere feature is fantastic and have all my Crapple user friends drooling over it, also the new gallery is better as well. I have the new 4.2 keyboard but prefer swype and the new google calendar. LOL.
To clarify, I am running both, stock camera and 4.2 camera with no problem.
