Because AOKP decided to support the T989? Milestone 6 is out so why would anyone use Chim v herc?

good, gosh I was getting sad already even though there is a AOKP rom having this one out there is also a good idea, for my opinion i'll use your rom cause it have both of cm9 and aokp.
thank you for not letting this rom go to dust.

It was your mods that nearly killed the thread. Or rather did kill the thread. A special someone was butt hurt.

Therefore you need to install touch recovery to use the aroma installer. Very nice from with options to kernels .

Just downloaded over AOKP's latest build. Since I have no where else to posttttt...
just wanted to let you know that Auto rotate is glitchy, and ROM Controls button FC's everytime. The Aroma Installer experience was awsome lol

Use root explorer and replace the romcontrol.apk with the one from aokp m6

finally just finished download, this hotels internet tooked 2 hours to download the rom lol
what do you mean you need touch recovery to use the installer?
witch touch recovery are you talking about? there are two different i think

I posted my install issue on team passions forum.
Hopefully they'll fix the rom control issue soon. I keep getting random reboots with rc1.
What kernel can we flash? A CM9 or AOKP?

SVoice isn't a simple apk to start with... It relies on stuff inside the stock Twiz ROM to work right.
It could be they blocked us... It could also be they are internally testing new build that does things differently server side.

Clockwork vs twrp

Hey so tell us what recovery you like and don't like and why?
I was using twrp but stopped because it screwed up my phone and was having problems flashing some Roms. I just don't think it does a clean wipe just works to fast..... So far clockwork cleans ,wipes more securely and have no problems flashing Roms...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

I see this thread getting out of hand and going south quickly. I'm gonna request a mod step in and make a bold suggestion to people on how to keep it clean and not go south. Also make a poll for the thread, makes it look better and more official..
I prefer TWRP, I've been on it since I got the S III (May of '12). I test roms for 3 devs on this phone, and never had an issue. I used to use CWM on previous phones and never had issues there either. I just prefer TWRPs UI.

I should of posted this with the post I started...
The Rom that gave me problems with twrp was darthstalker but was able to flash with clockwork... Maybe it was something I did wrong.... Don't know.

As said all phone are not same so sometimes depends on your devices.

I've used both and like both, settled on twrp mainly because I find it a little easier to use. CWM looks nicer IMO. I dont' think you can go wrong with either.

I prefer TWRP but with the 4.2+ ROMs I flashed that have the 0 file I have to use CWM.
I'm sure there's something I can do to fix this but I've tried via Google search and have only has luck with CWM. So here I am.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I use twrp because you can name your back up files. That's probably the only reason I use it. It's UI is more friendly because of the buttons and I'm pretty sure you can theme it now, but I haven't tried that feature yet

Yes, that had happened to me multiple times as well, restoring of backups failing. For that reason I stick to CWM for now. Otherwise IMO TWRP is superior.

I do not backup and restore very often, but twice I have made a backup and restored because I was testing a ROM...but both backups failed and left me to clean flash my ROM again.

Interesting. It's worth a shot OP. Worst case, it fails and you uninstall. If it is successful, you can install mobile odin, then get the latest gb27 tar, and money. While you're at it, you will have to flash a cwm custom jb kernel, since you're on ics, and, MO won't flash modems, you'll need a jb modem to use data on gb27. Download the zip though of the modem . Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Hopefully it works for you. I don't see why it wouldn't. Might be more complicated but it worked for me. but of course YMMV. Just follow what jdsingle76 said you you'll be good to go.
