CyanogenMod 7 Self-Kang #1 Alphafied 2.3.7

I just flashed this ROM today... and I'm still playing around with it... but is it missing the Voice software that my stock came with? (Voice instructions... Driving mode... Ect)... I installed the Google files suggested...
Also, I'm not seeing Swipe at all...

Swype isn't there, I just signed up for the Swype Beta and got it back...the keyboard on this version of Swype is actually preferable to stock imo

Awesome!! Thanx so much for the quick reply...

Cm will be missing alot of extras that came with our phone... but extra customization features that didn't..
Personally I like touchwiz and tw framework apps like the camera and mms app so I stick with roms based of stock.. still fast and look great..
That is till miui drops

Is this your first time using CM? It's the most barebones rom you can get, there won't be any extra software installed like on other roms. It's basically just the core files needed for the phone to operate plus some tweaks & customization options, so you'll have to manually add things like Swype and Driving mode. This is what *I* love about CM though, it's almost like a 'build your own rom' deal.

I'll stick with TW based roms, might try out MIUI. Using the stock android camera, calendar...no thanks. The TW roms are just as fast. I noticed nothing working faster running the CM7 build which is the usual want from everyone at the expense of good looking and more features(not tweaks).
I just flashed CM9 on my Nexus S, it's meh.

thats whats so great about android as opposed to other devices. Not everyone agrees with your opinions so you can have the software you like and I can have the software I like.

Well then welcome to the wonderful, addictive world of Android If you like to customize then stick with CM7. It's pretty safe to assume that development for this phone is gonna be very good. There are a lot of themes on the market, just search "CM7 theme".

If you don't want tw, wait for miui. Theme chooser sucks. Miui destroys everything as far as theme customization goes. You can mix and match parts of different themes.

People/Contacts App

I'm loving ICS on my SII. This is the only android phone that I haven't rooted and don't plan to unless absolutely necessary.
However, I would like to have the stock ICS people app and (dialer if possible). I've already stopped using the TWlauncher and have been using the android launcher...love it.
Is it possible to load either of these without rooting?
And yes I've searched the board but could not find a concrete answer. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

you have to be more specific are you on the ota ics or gb

Dude man if your not using the tw launcher ROOT dude! Aosp is so much better.

It does say hes 'Loving ICS on his S2'. That aside i think he wants the AOSP dialer and contacts apps. I dont believe you can do that without rooting as they are in /system i believe and you cant touch that without permission. If anyone knows better please correct me.

Been using exDialer with the ICS theme. Freakin' awesome!

Yes. I have OTA ICS. I know I should just root and load a custom ROM. I did that a lot with my original Epic but I don't want to root just for those 2 features. Thanks for all the replies. Looks like I'll have to settle for Samsung Dialers and contacts. No biggie.

I would also like to mention exDialer. Load up the ICS theme and you're good. Contacts isn't the same as ICS stock is, but it's good.
There is also an ICS Phone app in Play Store.

[REQ] Replace TouchWIz Themed Apps on ICS

Hi there,
So after playing with vanilla ICS and then getting the ICS Leak for our cappys I've come to hate TW because it takes away from the beauty of ICS.
I found a few guides on how to replace the TW Stock Apks with Vanilla Apks however, due to TW frameworks you can't replace the dialer or contacts.
Is there anyone who would like to help me in fixing this? I've tried several things and none of them have worked thus far. Suggestions?

That seems to be a guide to replace dialer on 2.3.5 (which back in black is made on). I think on ICS its not worth even trying, too much dependencies

oh.

I say just install a custom ROM. That's what I did. Running Nardholio's right now but I'll probably switch to dman's CM9 or AOCP once some of the bugs are worked out.

[Q] Differences between Touchwiz, CM10, and stock Jelly Bean

I am a bit new to Android and the GS3. But honestly I am already sick and tired of waiting for Jelly Bean as well as some of the problems of Touchwiz. So I think CM10 is the next thing for me. But I am unsure of the differencr between Touchwiz and CM10. For example I love the quick settings panel, the brilliang camera app and settings, Wi-Fi direct sharing (sbeam) , as well as the smart dialer and decent task manager. I just want to make sure everything will be better.

it's your call. i'd say you should try it out, and if you don't like it, you can always go back to stock touchwiz. just remember to read the op and the last few pages of the thread to make sure there aren't any unwanted problems to deal with. and of course, backup your current rom.

Stock Jelly Bean has been leaked. This will give you all the Jelly Bean goodness without resorting to a custom ROM.
You could also install the touchwiz launcher on CM10 if you like the TouchWiz UI. (I don't)
You can always flash back to stock ICS if you don't like where you end up. Just read the original post and make sure you understand what you're doing so you don't end up with a brick.

So if I tried it and didn't like it, I could just go back to normal and get updates OTA and everything.

Not all S3 are identical. The radio interface are slightly different, region wise. So yes , you can download a Samsung stock ROM off the Internet, it will not be exactly the same. Call and battery performance will be affected slightly.
You can use a backup to restore, it is the closest you can get to original, but rooted.
That it's the complete picture.

Things I like about touchwiz.
Movable home screens.
Little red flags on home screen icon showing unread status.
Social hub for Twitter and Facebook.
A working music player
Swipe right to call, left to SMS
Task manager, less of an issue in ICS and later.
Good alarm app
Best battery performance without tweaking.

yes, but not without some work. you'd need to either restore your backup and unroot, and remove the custom recovery or odin back to stock.

Yeah, the camera is brilliant.

Then I recommend Drew Garen Serenity rom! Its Touchwiz JB, its a GNote2 port, works great if you want the same TW features and more! (Gnote stuff), just use a launcher. I'm using tasks AOKP rom myself and its awesome

I've been stuck with AOSP. I love the TW/Samsung features, just not the interface. Coming from a Nexus, I just got comfortable with minimal. Slimbean, Aokp and liquid smooth are great base ROMs that are light.

The whole thing with that is I don't particularly care for Touchwiz. It kinda ugly and heavy with useless stuff. I just don't want to lose useful features.

yea im in the same position you are, i still change back and fourth because of features on TW that i miss and need often.

I am considering just flashing and trying it out and flashing back if I don't like it. I honestly don't mind Touchwiz, but I feel like if I give in and and wait, then I will just keep falling further behind. Perhaps Touchwiz is better now, but it certainly won't be in January

Touch wiz has too much overlay IMO. Liquid smooth is one of the best AOKP ROMs I've tried. But you will be missing out on Sbeam and everything Samsung related of course. But the sheer speed of aokp is a good enough trade off for me to lose just the neat camera and svoice.

I am using AOKP from Task and ktoonez, I love it but really miss smart stay and allshare cast to the point where I'll probably go back to TW JB once ATT actually releases it. Is there a JB ROM that includes those?

Hey guys,
Is there anyway to get the TouchWiz S3 camera features with one of the custom roms or just stick to a stock?
My brother loves the AOKP but he is insistent on having those default camera features/effects that came with the phone.

[Q] [RQ] Stock Jelly Bean 4.1/4.2 ROM w/ TouchWiz S-Pen, Split Screen, Sidebar, etc

Hey, I'm considering getting the Note II very soon, and even if this turns out to not be possible, I'll probably still pick it up as it's a great looking device. It's between this and the Nexus 4. This phone has the edge right now. But the reason I love the Nexus 4 so much, I had the Galaxy Nexus before I broke it, is the Stock Android experience, that pure, clean, feeling. Now I know that it would be possible to flash a stock 4.1/4.2 Jelly Bean ROM onto the Note II not a problem but then my worry is that the S-Pen features and the Split Screen Features and the other major Note II selling points like the Notepad and Sidebar feature would no longer be there which kind of just makes the phone a big Nexus, which I don't see the point of really. So, if someone could point me to a forum post that shows me how to do this, or tell me how if you know yourself you'll definitely have sold the phone to me for sure.
SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE II STOCK ANDROID JELLY BEAN (4.1/4.2) ROM WITH SOME TOUCHWIZ FEATURES (S-Pen, Split-Screen, Sidebar, etc)
***** EDIT *****​I was thinking, couldn't I just use Nova Launcher or something similar to get the stock Android Jelly Bean FEEL and LOOK and still have all of the TouchWiz features that I don't want to lose? If anyone can confirm this, or suggest another Launcher, comment please I'm still willing to Root if it means I can do anything to get as close to stock Jelly Bean without losing those amazing Note II features.

There is a rom based on stock with all aosp apps for the S2, and there is MIUI based on stock for the Note 2 which includes all those features, so it is possible, but not available...
I'm also waiting for something like that.

Thanks, is it still worth the Root then? To run root-only-apps? Because it seems pointless putting a Stock 4.2 ROM on the Note II if it means losing all the cool things the Note II can do with all that screen! I'll keep my eye's open for a ROM like this then!

My advise is to keep the original version by Samsung charging on a launcher like nova (as you mentioned) or even the original launcher of 4.2 jb (it was exported from nexus 4..I tried it personally and it was fast like a rocket)..
In this way you have a super stable rom with the original pure Google launcher..
..waiting maybe for a custom with those features. I think in the meantime is the best solution
