[Question] Customization: Toggles and Power Menu - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys! Just picked up my S3 through Virgin Mobile Canada and loving it!!
I was wondering if anyone knows a way I can change the notification taskbar toggles and the power menu options? Are there apps or mods available that would give me such options?
Thanks!

root and install pretty much any of the roms in the android development forums... most of them include the 15-toggles mod which comes with quickpanel to change them up.

Hey. Thanks for the reply. I have root and CWM, but I haven't found a ROM that I feel comfortable enough to flash.
I'm sure there are excellent works being done out there, I have no doubts, I just haven't found one that was complete, or stable enough. Correct me if I"m wrong, but the JB source isn't out yet for the S3, no?
I've been monitoring mostly the "original" development form. The AOKP ROM is the one I've been keeping my eye out for.
Is a custom ROM required for these customizations? No other ways? Thanks!

A lot of the stock based roms are pretty rock solid, and have changeable toggles. Original development is a little shaky with jb yet, but progressing insanely fast. And no, source for our version, a touchwiz'd variation, of jb does not exist as Sammy hasn't released jb for out phone. Aosp jb source is out however and that's what cm10 and aokp are working with.

Hey! Thanks for the reply. I figured as much. Feeling pretty flash happy right now, but will probably hold off for another couple of months for JB source to be released. In the mean time, I was trying to figure a way to customize my current stock ROM. I downloaded a few power widgets, but are only workarounds.

Haha! Maybe. But not until I find that ROM. Stock ICS's inability for customization is annoying the **** out of me.

Best ROM right now?

Hi everyone, just a simple question. I am looking for the best overall ICS rom for the T989 right now. Is it worth flashing now or should I wait for Jelly Bean rom or any other rom? Thanks for the help everyone.

I'm using Darkside Evolution 3 v7 ICS rom and it works flawlessly. Best ICS rom I've ever used.

Ah dissenting opinions! So there is no de facto rom?
That's like asking what the best car is. Its subjective.

Let the flashing begin...
Personally, I've stuck with Darkside Evolution 3 (v7) since its release. Although it looks very stock, it's very stable with an amazing kernel and battery life.
AOKP and cm9 are amazing (I'll be flashing cm9 again once we get our release candidate).
AOKP feels like cm based ROM with a little more to offer but with that being said, neither feel as stable as a stock based ROM for our phones at the present time.
You'll always get a biased opinion so I'd suggest flashing some of the more popular roms by checking each thread and good luck buddy!

I've been wondering the same. Reading through the forums, I determined Darkside Evolution 3 (v7) was the most popular. It took a few flashes before I was able to get it working right on my phone, but it runs similar to stock. The only way you'll be able to tell if you like it is if you give it a try.
aokp..... more tweaks.... less bloats, stable, fast.

I'm gonna say AOKP. I've tried all of the aforementioned ROMs and I have settled on AOKP because of the amazing battery life, customization and the AOSP theme it comes with. AOKP has also become very stable as of recently, rivaling the stability of Darkside. I used to run Darkside when it first came out, but now I can't get over the very stock feel/look. If you enjoy the tweaking, I would suggest AOKP. If not, then go with Darkside. If you want something in the middle, go with CM.
+1 on AOKP and link is in the sig. Darkside is also a great ROM just depends on your preference of touchwiz or stock. Both are the top ROMs imo.
Either AOKP or anything DARKSIDE.

I find it funny anytime I see one of these threads and find it even funnier when I see how many people answer. Its probably easier to say what not to use....LOL
Lets be honest thousands of people use this forum and if only 20 actually answer this thread I am quite sure all of the dozen or so roms will be mentioned... This question is like mentioned earlier is subjective and no way can you find a definitive answer in here....
I hate stock but there are some advantages to it, I love CM9 but also enjoy some of the tweaks of AOKP... I just load them all up get them to how I like it and nandroid them all... Problem solved
OP good luck but instead of reading our crazy posts get to flashing
AOKP
I am on AOKP Milestone 6. Was gonna try Darkside, but liked aokp and dont see any reason to switch.
There are few things that will not work with AOKP.
1) WIFI calling
2) Audio out via the car dock.
If those are not issues, try it out.

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.

I'm using and loving Wanam, but due to the poll, I really want to check out the AOKP.

I think we need more variety, most of our ROMS are just tweaked stock ROMS with ugly, terrible themes. Everything else is CM10 or CM9 stuff. It would be nice to see some MIUI, Sense, FlymeOS or even just completely stock AOSP roms.

AOSP roms are stock cm9 and cm10... Sense and stuff would be nice, and there was a team working on it in the sprint section and they just died out, MIUI is reported to be in the works still... and don't call the themes people give you as an option "ugly" cause they work hard to get you something to flash, it isn't cool of you to just call them ugly and terrible lol.
We don't NEED roms! Fortunately our phone works very well on stock rom. I am all for custom roms and can't wait for miui and hopefully a sense Rom. Our phone is brand new just give it some time.
I also agree it's bad taste to call peoples work ugly. You don't like the themes don't flash em. Me personally I live the wicked red theme. Because I can't dev I can't make roms and what not so I am extra appreciative. Its not like people are getting paid to do it

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.

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.

[Q] different ROMs for the I747

hey everyone
recently I have been looking for a ROM with a different look than the stock aosp and touchwiz feel. I have been using MIUI V5 for a little bit and I liked the change. but I want something different. I love the look and feel of Ubuntu, but the stability is not there yet for most phones.
so what I am asking is does anyone have any ROMs that are different than aosp, touchwiz or MIUI for the i747.
TIA
i hear iOS is completely different looking than android...

Even if it still is android, but just a different looking ROM. Im up for a change! :silly:
I know you said "other than aosp...", but have you tried Task650's AOKP? Super customization at it's finest. Also Bajees RootBox is sick. If you want the most in functionality and customization, I suggest you head in the direction of AOKP based stuff.

Look into Avatar Rom or Chameleon OS (I recommend the later). They are AOSP roms that add the theme engine and functionality of MIUI. Beyond this new launcher set ups (Buzz Launcher will help you with that) are the way to go.

Thanks!
thanks everyone who responded!
Buzz Launcher is AMAZING! It really is and I am using it as we speak while running task650 ota AOKP ROM which I have been running on and off for the past 5 months!
do you guys know of any ROMs that aren't touchwiz/aosp/miui? I've been looking hard and I have not found any stable ones! i am super excited for Ubuntu phone for android but I am going to have to wait for a stable one.
TIA!.
Honestly, the only AOSP/AOKP roms I will run are Task's and RootBox.

Just installed Avatar Rom and loving it. Great themes ability and so far very stable.
nothing?
So there are no roms that are COMPLETLY different than Touchwiz/AOSP/MIUI?
Nope. If you want something completely different, I think you know what you need to buy

Sure there is, actually there is only ONE launcher which is totally different than all Touchwiz or aosp/aokp/miui launchers.
It's called "LMT Pie Launcher", it looks and works totally different than any other available launchers.
Personally I really do not like it at all, but if you want something totally different give it a try.
There are a lot of interesting Youtube videos which give a lot of useful information about it.
Here is the download link for the latest version of it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zkrinbltpg3tji5/LMT v1.99.apk
Good luck!
