Is there an easy way to install the gingerbread camera on the epic? I get the feeling it performs better than the samsung one.

Not without an entirely AOSP Rom. And no it doesn't perform better, the camera is just about the only thing Samsung got right over AOSP.

and what exactly is touchwiz/ benifits, also could i see longer battery life and perhaps enhanced performance? stuff like that? thanks
You'll probably see a bit smoother performance due to the lack of bloat... but i don't think it'd be anything astronomical. Battery life could possibly be better. The downside is you seem to lose some functionality with the camera. Last i checked, the camera in CM10 doesn't have any of the Burst Shot modes or any of the other modes the TouchWiz camera has, nor do i remember it having that lag-free shutter we all love.

ok, well i think ill stick with what ive got for now, im happy with it so far, got somewhat jellybean lol and it runs alright, and camera is kinda nice since it does take Alright pics,
so right now i suppose i dont really see any actual reasons to root this sucker yet
Yea.... i've tried the CM10 nightlies (thought not for a while now).... i've tried ParanoidAndroid.... i've also tried Task & Ktoonsez AOKP ROM... but i still seem to always come back to Aristodemos. Though now i'm thinking about installing CodeName Android to see what it's like on the S3, since i liked it on my Atrix 4G.
I believe the camera on cm10 now has burst shot. Not as good as stock but its an option. I have tried a few jelly's, cm10..AOKP..The one thing that does ruin it for me is camera. Love the stock camera.
no bloatwares and more customization applied to pure jelly bean rom.

I am a long time Android and long time CM user. I have been using an LG G2x for way too long and finally got fed up with it. I have a brand new Galaxy S3 arriving tomorrow and am trying to figure out what to do when I get it.
For those of you have have used both the stock OS and CM 10, what are the advantages of each? By rooting and installing CM 10, what stock Samsung features will I lose? Are there any you think I might actually miss? So just in general, I was hoping someone who used both the stock OS and CM 10 for a decent amount of time could explain to me exactly what I will gain/lose by rooting and installing CM 10 on this phone. Thanks!
Not a good thread at all to start up man, just try them out and see for your self. Every one likes different things so it's kind of hard for us to just assume your needs... you know what I mean? Lots like both for different reasons, some always revert back to a stock rom some always go back to a cm rom.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Leave it stock but rooted for the first few days to see what you think. Many think the extra features and that its stable and fast are worth staying stock based. Still a lot of others opt for cm or aokp regardless. Just give em both their fsir chance!

That is why I didn't ask if I should flash CM 10 or not. I very simply asked what the differences were between stock and CM 10. I am wondering what features I will have with stock that I will lose with CM 10 and vice versa. That is a very fair question to ask of people who have already used both. I am trying to avoid trying both by going through a hassle and having to reinstall my programs and reconfigure my settings multiple times if I don't have to.
You lose all samsung stock features. That should be a no brainer. No motion activities, no smart stay (natively) no touchwiz, no wifi calling. Vanilla stock is what it always is, clean, no bloat, and super fast... what I said wasnt in any way being rude. It was exteremly truthful, and to the point.

Wifi calling doesn't work on CM 10? I have been using it on CM 7 for my G2x.
So do you miss any of those Samsung features? I guess are they gimmicky or actually nice to have? From reviews, I have read that stock is really fast, so not sure if I gain speed by going to CM. Have you noticed speed improvements with CM 10 over stock?
I know but its so deeply integrated into framework and settings now its a pain. And no I personally don't miss those gimmicky features, but allot of people do. I stick to tw roms, because of battery. It always seems to last longer on stock based roms for me. Otherwise I prefer cm based roms. Lets just say I'll be moving to cm as soon as I feel it is closer to 100% in my eyes. Or the nexus 4 lol. And the only way I can feel it being 100% is by me testing it, not asking others. That's what I meant with my 1st post.

I have to agree with mt3g here. AOSP ROMs are not the same as TW ROMs. I used TW for awhile when I first got my SGS3 and flashed pretty much all of them out there. I wasn't concerned with battery use, as I consider myself a battery expert. I was more interested in performance and features that were exclusive to TW and AOSP. They are so different that the only way to really get to know each other is to test drive them yourself.
Now I am on LiquidSmooth (AOSP base) and I love it. I am getting massive battery life, have tethering (I thethered my tablet to is almost all day yesterday after a bad flash [on the tablet not the phone]), Theme chooser springs a bit of life back into the eyecandy part. <--sometimes people flash not bc they want a new ROM but a new look .
Will I go back to TW? Sure. I tested Doc's ROM before he released it and I like it plenty enough to run it as a daily driver. But this is XDA and what are here for?
What do we want? A custom ROM
When do we want it? NO ETAs!!!! :cyclops:

Very well said. :good:
I personally never ever ran a touchwiz or sense ROMs on any device I've ever owned for more than a day. I just missed the full control cm ROMs give. Ever since my HD2 I've ran cm7 up to cm10 on my s3. I really never notice the features being lost from a tw ROM mostly because I don't use them. Never really thought their "advertised" features were all that.

I stuck to stock ICS TW for a couple of days and I didn't enjoy it.
It just seemed too much and I wanted a closer to stock experience.
Made the switch to CM10. Greatest thing ever.
It's simple, effective, and works in pretty much every way that I would like.
The only thing that I miss from TW is the Messaging app.

Do you use Skype, Vox, or any other VOIP app? If you do, then don't flash CM10, AOKP or any other AOSP based rom.

May I know why? I'm right now with the Galaxy SI and on CM10, hoping to get the S3 and on the same dilemma. Right now my Skype works well on the CM10, Viber works only on speaker phone.
Having tried cm 10/aokp as well as TW ROMs for extended periods of time, I can say the following:
Although at first missing a certain TW feature might seem like a drawback- the feeling comes from what you're used to, and after a few days or week you will likely forget those features which you previously had which you thought were so important. For me the TW calendar (s Planner) was the big thing I was missing- since for a while I really couldn't find a good substitute which looked as good and performed as well! Finally I found one, so now I don't even compare anymore, but even if I hadn't found a substitute I'm sure I would have moved on at some point.
Point is, base your choice on the majority of the benefits that you'll get from the respective ROM. Personally, I like aokp/cm10 precisely because of its overall simplistic aesthetic ( I'm in love with the native jelly bean fonts used in the notification bar) and its native ability to theme. In terms of performance and extra tweaks, there are plenty of custom TW ROMs which are on par with the aosp ones (IMO). So I think it comes down to the overall feel/look, and pure personal preference.

you will lose wifi calling, you will lose the ability to upload music straight from the music player to drop box, you will lose your mind, however, once you run a JB ROM and use google now for the first time, and you will go ape over the amount of customization available to cm10 users.
honestly, used "stock" for about 3 weeks when i first got my device back in july, flashed cm10, and never looked back. words cannot describe how amazing and feature-packed a cm10 ROM is...
flash hellfire 1.3 (if you don't mind the red), and give slim bean a shot if you don't want the red. I have had nothing but positive results with those two.
also, follow my guide in this section for the flashing process.
good luck.
WiFi calling
For me WiFi calling is the biggest feature, and extremely important. I don't have T-Mobile signal in my lab, where I spend most of the time and WiFi calling is the only hope. This is why I'm staying with the stock for now.
But if anyone can show me a way to get WiFi calling on CM10, I will be really thankful. Hate the stock rom from the bottom of my heart!!
-Thanks
The camera on cm10 is whats holding me back but once they come out with cm10.1 based on JB 4.2 then i think ill root and rom my phone.

Hey guys
After i rooted my phone and installed CM, i have realized that the camera quality has tremendously decreased. Is there anything i can do about that ? Is there a way i can still keep the great camera quality of the original stock rom ?
Thanks for the help.
Nope, what you see is what you get.. Only thing I can suggest is to try a different camera app.. Lenovo camera app seems to work a little better than the cm one

The stock camera will not work on AOSP roms.
Its one of the sacrifices to going to AOSP
Oh okay got it.
Damn, that's a huge loss though.
I'm trying to upgrade to the S5 and one of their best features i want to use is the camera. Now i feel a way that after i root it, i will lose the camera feature. That sucks.

Rooting will not cost you the camera. You can root the stock rom. You can even get customized version of the stock rom that have extra features. All with the camera.
Ita AOSP roms that dont have it.

So if i were to get a customized version of the stock rom, then i would be able to use the stock camera, and the quality would be just as when i first got the phone? Is that correct ?

You're only really going to get that with one of the stock ROMs. I've been running Imperium since forever and I've never really had any problems with it.
I'm interested too because with Stock Base Roms (Imperium) I get bootloop after a few weeks. Now I'm on Cosmic OS and I'm looking for a good camera

for best stock based.. that is genisys/imperium or simplegx. all are the same in camera... if you want alot of customazation and nougat then AOSP but lower quality on camera.. longer battery life and faster phone.

That's right that aosp nougat roms have a faster ui, but in my experience it slows down after some days of uptime (RR Tyler build).
I back at stock (imperium) for 2 months now, because of this issue.
Anyone else experienced this slow down after some time of use?
If not, which rom you are using?

stock has alot of services running. and aosp or CM have less. so yes you get more SOT. i get around 3-4 hours in stock base rom. using whats app,messenger and facebook app. and data connection.
What about ProShot on asop rom and it's quality. I have/had LP 5.1 with 100% quality jpg mod and 60fps HD 48Mpbs all the way up to 60Mbps but my andorid was being hacked so now i have to explore aosp roms with latest security patches but when i go on travel trip i want my LP with mods back. V10 camera port has no jpg 100% quality mod, but Proshot does but then again it's not LG stock framework as you guys said so it's quality it's probably still inferior. Thoughts guys ?
Dual boot sounds interesting. Any links for H811 for this?
