I was watching a review today of Paranoid Android for the i9300 & it looked amazing! I've been enjoying the new TW ui, much to my surprise, so I've been taking advantage of its many new features, but tablet mode was looking so great on the 4.8 inch screen! I've only ever really tested it much on my old Sensation, but the smaller screen with the lesser resolution made it seem not so ideal. I really think it could take advantage of the beautiful bigger screen of the T999! It's so unique and it would give us a whole new way to use our phone. Does anyone know how to port this to our phone? Maybe someone here is friendly with the Paranoid Roms development team? Any ideas or insight?
PS: I've tried playing around with the dpi without much success . I couldn't seem to get the phone to behave as a tablet like with some other devices, and it didn't seem to be very stable after modifying it...

Oh God yes, lol! I was using the Sensation quite a bit before the gs3 was released because there's a lot of development & it can be a fun device to play with, but it's not worth comparing to the gs3. I'll probably always keep my sensation because I don't like to get rid of any of my phones, and I'm kind of a phone junkie, but it's been on loan to a friend for a few weeks now. The Gs3 will be a huge upgrade if the Sensation is the only phone you've been using.
It probably will get ported I also can't wait I used it on my galaxy nexus and love the Rom, the tablet ui is amazing and makes thin easier IMO

From what I have heard it should be a pretty easy port seeing as it's based off of cm9/10. I 'll probably give it a try tomorrow and upload a test build for you to try out, but im not making any promises because this week is busy for me.
EDIT: what one would you like me to try JB or ICS?

Well, if your asking what I personally would like, then you freakin" rock sir! I suppose if I were to choose which I'd like to see first it would be a cm9 base, simply because odds are it would be the most stable. A jb build would be incredible, but I generally only flash roms that are fully functional & can be used as a daily driver. I'm not the flashaholic I once was mostly because I don't have the time to be. If your able to get it booting & its stable that would be fantastic! I've personally always looked at PA as a rom that's more for something like the Note, but I think the gs3 is just large enough that I want to run with it & reinvent how I use my primary phone. If we get a 100% functional build, I may never look back, but like I said above, I've never really driven it hard before?
I got it booting but I have no signal wifi works though. I'm no dev so maybe someone can help me.
I have no signal cause it made me lose my IMEI
OK so I restored my Nandroid and I have my IMEI back. My IMEI said unknown in phone settings so im guessing that it was just the roms fault not a wiped IMEI? anyway here are some pics and I will upload the build. Root doesn't work as well as pad control but it's a start. Any dev is welcome to take this and use it to try and make it more functional.

Im pretty sure it's because the permissions aren't properly set for the pad.prop among others. I will have a look at the updater script tomorrow.

Wow Bro, that was fast! I know nothing about developing or porting, but I've just been starting to look into a few threads on the 101. It's definitely nothing that I'll pick up overnight, lol! Maybe if you post the build in development someone will work on it with you? I never thought I'd say this, but TW is running so smooth & has so many nice touches on FreeGS3 that I probably won't flash anything until this is running strong or a super stable Jellybean Rom of any flavor drops.

+1! When we get PA stable, that will get me away from FreeGS3 to check it out. Every day that I use FreeGS3 I fall more I think love with Red's tweaked TW build! I would run this on any device, there are alot of great features in TW now, & Red added even more. I love the tablet style apps though, they are so much more funtional. If I could keep a TW base, but get tablet mode for all my apps then that would be the perfect rom for me. I don't think that'll ever happen, so I'll have to run PA for a week once it's finished & see which I prefer.

I see a few things that aren't perfect just looking through the zip. Wont know more until i get it flashed but this shouldn't be too difficult.
I fixed ril. But it broke boot.
Ril paths in build.prop should be
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libril-qc-qmi-1.so
rild.libargs=-d /dev/smd0
But somehow that breaks boot.

Is the development up to par withh the hype that surrounded this phone. I look through the forum and I don't see any rom as of right now that makes me want to switch. The Roms are all basically the same and seems like they aren't really that much better than being stock and rooted. I know this phone blows the sensation away etc etc but development over there unquestionably was much better. Just dissapointed because I thought we would get more devs here
we have cm 7 and were getting Cm9, miui is being worked on and the phone is still new. Plus the Dev is still more then the amaze in my opinion. We are the red headed step child of the sgs2 family don't forget that. It will grow bigger

I was running Energy rom. I actually had 2 sensations mine and my wife's, I took hers to play with when I sold mine to get the GS2 ,she went with mt4g slide and I'm about to sell the other one to a friend of mine who needs a phone bad. So that will leave me with just this phone ....not that its a bad thing just thought we would have a little more variety. Sensation was locked and that set it back for a while but once it was cracked it seemed like devs flocked to it. Maybe that will change once ics is up and running. But the guys that are here are doing a great job as there is some good available Roms. Trust me I'm not complaining cause I wish I could do what y'all do and I plan to in the future once life allows me the time

Sense4All is team of developers looking to get sense 4.0 on all Samsung devices so we may have more options for our arsenals.

If you are a developer who is interested in helping the project come along further please to to their website sense4all.info and see if you could throw aroung some ideas with their devs it'd be a shame to let the work and idea go to waste.

I came across that site a couple weeks ago and it doesn't look very promising so far. Their furthest along ROMS, for devices that have been out for a long time, are still barely functioning. But maybe if they throw enough people at the SGSIII, they can get something that works OK by the time my warranty is up in a year and I dive into different ROMS.
I'm definitely going to keep my eye on this, because TouchWiz sucks balls... but it's going to take more than just booting with pretty much nothing working before I get my hopes up.
I'd help if I could since I'm one of the guys who wants this to come to fruition, but I have no development skills at all. I hope you guys can get it worked out though and look forward to seeing the finished product.

You are? I think touchwiz is an improvement over sense (not saying TW is awesome or anything, most ROMs have better UIs). I was in a Sprint store looking for a Case-Mat Pop (kickstand) for my phone a few days back, and I played around with the Evo LTE. I was really unimpressed with the latest Sense and was glad I went Sammy for this 2 year go around.

Removable battery, expandable memory, & AT&T exclusive...
I'll admit TouchWiz 4 has REALLY improved. But, Sense, even with its problems, still has a lot of function that's hard to let go of.
Would it be easier to get on the US variants?
I only say that because put the Adreno graphics on the S4 chips. I remember the NS4G Sense ports having issues with graphics because of the Hummingbird processor.
|Trolling with a smile|
Went with sammy for the removable battery mainly. The first couple of days with the s3 without a spare battery was killing me. Ofcourse it was a new phone so I was playing with it a lot and trying out different roms etc and battery went down fast. Plus I still had to use it to make calls and text so I had it hooked up to a charger everywhere I was (home, work, car). I was always afraid of it going down to 40% battery lol. Anyway after getting a spare OEM battery + charger all is well again. No more worries specially when I went out.
Touchwiz isnt bad but sense just looks nicer to me and not having to install extra widgets (twitter, facebook, weather) was nice. Also like the weather lock screen. I miss that.
Anyhow I'm now with tmobile and Im hoping these guys will port it over to all the carriers and not just sprint.
i know the answer already.....depends on what u want.
but i want to know which is better for the following:
good battery life
great speed (the stock phone is already snappy enough...i dont see how that can be improved really..)
better volume
alot of customization (nav buttons, fast usb charge, etc..)
very stable in every for all the options...like stable wifi, bluetooth, gps and everything.
i noticed some of the ROMs have complaints on network speeds. i dont know enough about this whole thing to understand y the rom would effect that. but i would like to know which ones are best for a phone thats been purchased straight from the play store. right now i have liquid smooth rom. its pretty good. cant complain. but i dont think it has the increased volume option.
if all this has been discussed b4, im sorry but i couldnt find it.
also, some of the roms keep stating how they improved scrolling or made it any faster...i dont understand this....with stock JB rom just straight out of the box....how can u make it any smoother or faster....its practically at top speed limit. and smoother than this and ur gonna break some sort of laws of physics...i cant even tell the difference but my greedy side wants the best and fastest...just so my mind is at ease. lol anyway, any input would b greatly appreciated. thanks
Well stock rooted with tweaks is prolly the best look for a non themed debloated from with ram/build prop/ and unit.d tweaks

Yeah, what Darunion said, stock is most stable. If you want tons of customizations options try AOKP.
Yes stock is the most stable. But I can suggest you Paranoid Rom.
Like you said, there's no best. But here's a little list of ROMs that I would like to shout out.
AOKP- Most customizable imo. Also unicorns!
Codenameandroid- Also another very customizable ROM.
CM10- Really stable and fast.
Paranoid Android- Hybrid mode. Makes the apps of the phone super customizable
Baked- Inverted. Theoretically gives more battery life, because of the black theme.
Stock- Most stable.
Have a good day

thats what im using now. its not bad at all. the only issue i have i guess is that i dont think that rom has its own volume mod. so i flashed a seperate kernel that had that. other than that i havent found anything wrong with it. its pretty good.
OP why do you want others to do your work for you? In most cases all the features are listed in the OP of the ROM. SO if you are looking specifically for the volume mod, find one that has it, back up your phone and flash it.

thanks for the title change. noticed that.
the reason is because im fairly new to this phone. i know for SURE that this phone has TONS of devs working on it. and im pretty dam sure it has just as many ROMs. which is great lol. and alot of people who have been with this phone since the beginning and have probably used almost every ROM and know all the roms and which ones are best. so instead of me trying to do what they did from the start, i wanted to take the short cut and learn from everyone elses errors and experiences. i dont mean to offend anyone or speak out of place. but you gotta admit, flashing every single rom in a row to test it out for myself would take a long time. i can just ask people who have already done all that and theyll tell me. which is what happened. and once again im very grateful for everyones help so far. even though im still flashing most roms one after another just to check which is better. lol. but you guys steered me in the right direction.
Flashing several different ROMS and digging through threads is part of the fun.
I am personally using Affinity with Franco's kernel and love this combo. I have tried about 6 or 7 different JB ROMs and find Affinity to be my favorite. It has some customization but not an overwhelming amount and it's stable. I have had this setup for about 3 weeks and have had zero issues.
Try quite a few but I would tell anyone to start with AOKP and CM10 and branch out from there.

so i've been on GS2 until recently i got GS-3, and after researchign on XDA i noticed GS3 dont have some Kick-ass Roms like GS2. i WONDERr if someone would start porting or making some for GS3 as well for ex. SHOstock rom?? ----freaking awsome, among others..
im not here to offend anyone or their ROMs by no means, hands down on all your hard work--BUT this is just me thinking on GS3 ROM's. im still waiting for a eye catching ROM for my GS3 to root....hopefully someone will bring someone exciting......
once again---those of you who got your roms out--THANK you for all your hard work
so you researched but never flashed any of the roms for the i747? how can you judge if its 'kick ass' or not?
I personally have been using Task650's AOKP since I bough my GS3 and love it. I have tried most of the available ROMs, but AOKP seems to play best with my phone plus it has so many customizations that it is insane. Used his AOKP on my GS2 as well.

Anyone that answers your question here probably isn't personally a dev.. so you're not disrespecting anyone.. but I don't get why you're posting about there not being any "kick-ass" ROMs when there are seriously a ton for our phone and you wont know what is "kick-ass" till you try them out...
I hate stock anything, and TouchWiz even more, so its been CyanogenMod from the beginning for me, and CM 10.1 now for a while. Try out some fresh Android 4.2. Tasty stuff!
1.) No you will not see any sgs2 ports.
2.) You're opinion of whats "kick ass" is more than likely is not what others think.
3.) The touchwhiz ROMs here are probably considered far more advanced than any sgs2 ROM dude. The hardware is totally different and this device is 10 times more powerful. So your statement of whats "kick ass" in comparison to anything sgs2 related is void at this point.
4.) Until you've tried any of the ROMs here's your whole post doesn't really apply nor does it make any sense.
Used a ton of roms, and I literally flash 5-10 roms a day to try them out. I've even made a list of the pros and cons of each roms. Task's AOKP is excellent, and it's actually a ROM I've stuck to for a few weeks. I recommend trying out each one of them and just backup your phone before doing so
Nvm Task weighed in... Now you have to try his AOKP build

Tasks' AOKP is fantastic. You'll be very happy. Make sure you do your research!
I agree that's Task's rom is great but I personally prefer CM10.1. Both have their features that I like but the private mode on the stock browser is what keeps me on CM.
One thing that CM10.1 doesn't have is a HEX value entry box for the LED notification colour changes. Sure you can use the big colour "wheel" but it's impossible to get that exact colour you want.
The point is, no one ROM has it all but there are still many awesome ones out there that should come pretty close to everything you need. The trick is finding it and the way to find it is to try them out.

I meandered on to the development section and was quite surprised to see such recent ROMS and developers working on a cell phone that is turning 3 years old in 5 months. Many EVO buyers have had their contracts expire and are able to upgrade to a new phone. There are much faster phones out there, with better specs that are possibly more interesting to develop for, because you might reach a larger user base. My question to the Devs is why are you sticking to the original EVO? Don't get me wrong, I am a current original EVO owner myself so by all means, keep up the good work, just curious as to why you stuck to such an old device.
Simple answer is its fun! Its a great way to get practice and many devs have friends in the forum. So why walk away completely? If you still have it, you can test away on things you try to build.

Haha, so the EVO is just a scapegoat for developers that don't want to brick their actual device?

Accidental thanks :banghead: in some cases, no. But I actually have less a reason to not flash everything in sight, if you catch my drift..

Also the EVO is, and always has been a great Device. Why walk away from it when it still viable, and as stated hellua fun. The proof is in the pudding. Look at the support, and Rom Development available

If I could boil it down to a sentence it would be... The Evo is a great device to build for.

4.2 on the OG is more functional than 4.2 on the Jewel. And I need the 4.2 Bluetooth stack. So . . . yeah . Thus the reason my OG is listed as Device 1 in my sig .
Hell, Devs are still working on the Samsung Moment
Sprint htc evo 4g
i bought a sprint htc evo 4g that i bought from amazon ... i cant use sprint in my country and i cant unlock a sprint phone since itc cdma right?... but can i just leave the phone like with sprint but root it and play wiith iit because the only reason i bought it was to learn everything about rooting and i needed a test device...??
There are jelly bean ROMS for the OG? Are all the radios working?

Sure. Since you don't have service on the phone, it's basically a really small tablet. All the basic functionality will work, and there is always WiFi.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Please, be specific. The ROM is fully functional outside of the things that require new drivers for Android 4.x, i.e. front-facing camera, and WiMAX.

Yep and over on XDA-Developers, it's the most actively dev'd device still. It was the Evo of it's time

It's actually SDX Developers...and yes the Moment was the "Evo" of it's time, sadly however, it's time has passed. I'm a new convert over to XDA from SDX, having to give last rites to my Moment a month ago. Really only one active ROM still being worked on (UberMoment 1.6 - props to TheTehk17 for hanging in there :good: ). They never got a GB Rom fully functional (CM7 was close), all dev was, and still is, Froyo. Major hardware limitations and lack of support will probably keep any further ROM upgrades forthcoming.
Inherited an OG to use for now - great to see all the work being done! Waiting for the arrival of the S4 or M7 for upgrade, until then enjoying the plethora of ROM's available!
Upon upgrade, I will be passing the OG on to any dev here who will continue to put it to good use!

lol.. brain fart
Yeah, I never thought the Moment could successfully run Froyo, unless there was a hybrid Froyo/GB Rom. I dev'd a nice ROM for the Moment, but I think I took all the links down a few months ago.

The devs did a pretty good job porting over Froyo ROMs from the Intercept and Transform, and got those pretty functional. Otherwise, the phone would have been stuck on 2.1 Eclair! As mentioned, they have a somewhat working CM7 - buggy, but it does boot up.! The dev that ported that moved on leaving no one to work out the kinks.
So, for me, I'm like a kid in a candy store with not only GB Roms, but ICS, JB, AOSP.......and Sense too! Hell, I'm in hog heaven
lol. yeah, you can flash a different ROM every day for a year, going back to 2.1 if you wanted to

lol - I might have to hold out on that upgrade until I get this "flashing" urge under control..........
Will be interesting to see when the S4/M7 debuts, how long it takes to get dev going on each
i'm glad dev's have kept this phone up to date its alot of fun
