Ok I have been a major lurker on xda for a while. I just created an xda profile a few days ago and made my first contribution with a hacked hulu plus app. Now I want to make a bigger contribution. In the form of a ROM. Ive got my build environment up and running smooth.
Now I dont want any donations. You wont find any donations links any where. I hack and build for fun. This community has many taliented developers. I just hope to merge what I know into real world stuff.
Now my question to the community is what do you want to see in a Rom? Features? Tweaks?

I was going to help you out with info till I seen that you like TW...
The reason is because I know of only none TW roms since TW is the crappiest thing since sliced bread.

Same. It's very smooth and I like it a lot. Lmk when you get an ICS TW ROM with good battery life like EL29.
Just a fully functional ICS Stock rom that plays nice with the battery is all I can really ask for
You developers spend enormous amount of time and effort to provide to this community and it'll be absurd for people to "expect" ANYTHING. Thank you in advance for any future work you provide for the community.
Settings like AOKP with status bar changes and lockscreen changes and a theme engine would be sweet also.

As long as it's a TW Rom that would be awesome. I like TW and there's a **** ton of people that add launchers to their roms, might as well get CM or AOKP.
Again TW and fast would be nice to see. I have had bad luck with ICS, my phone always hangs for some reason on all leaks.
Thanks in advance.
an aosp ics rom with every single customization option imported from aokp, codename, gummy, slim, and cm9. if you can get that with flawless mms, camera/camcorder, great battery life, with no service or data loss, and properly working sdcard, then you'll have yourself the best aosp rom available hands down.
This may be asking a lot, but i would love to see some of the tweaks for this ROM added. It may be kernel tweaks so i dont know if it is possible. My Mother's phone is running it and after 2 days she still has 50% battery.

Honestly, would just like to see what you come up with. It can be TW based, aokp, cm9.... either way, there is going to be someone not pleased with your work. I think you should just pick and choose what you like, put it together, and the community will love you for it. I myself do prefer a nice lock screen mod (like maddoggin and the new aosp mod). The launcher I could give two s#*T's about, as long as it runs smooth. The best of luck to you. Hope to see some good things in the future.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Im a huge fan of the cm9 launcher but i like the TW UI and Camera. Im thinking of a Touchwizless rom. it has the look and feel of aosp but with the great aspects of TW.

Wow.. i see people askin for tuings that have already been done.. all i ask for is somthing unique! Not a stock ice or stock tw ics, i mean incorporate all you can but don just add all features that we have already.. come on guys think of somethin crazy awesome that is doable
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
A touch wiz ROM with mods like AOKP (status bar notification and lockscreen mods ) and behaves like AOKP, the reason behind it being a touchwiz ROM is because the little touchwiz touches are nice( video player, working led, HW accelerated UI and browser and etc) ,putting other UI's might just cause problems (battery and lag). Yet I can only dream!! Just an idea. If this is even possible.

Stock touch wiz ICS ROM themed the look like ICS and fix that darn notification bug.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
My opinion is to offer options.
Help swamp goblin port sense 4.0.
Help maintain and update MIUI if needed.
Port over motoblur (just so peeps can try it)
Help tcp if needed with aokp or cma or gummy.
Etc. Etc. The more options we have, the happier everyone will be.
While not a rom, how about porting the cm9 reloaded mod to our phone. The systemUI of the mod needs to be merged with ours to get the 4g toggle and other stuff working. I would do it, but time isn't something I have at the moment.

I know there is one thread labeled it is the only official ICS thread, but I have a slightly different question...
My vibrant broke, and there was literally a ton of ICS roms for Vibrant... now with the Galaxy S2 I see plenty of ICS roms, but they all seem to have some kind of touchwiz basis... I hate touchwiz with a passion. I love the way google sets the phone up like on the Nexus...
Are there any roms that are just lightweight pure and simple ICS roms for the SII?
I'd love any responces and i'm not trying to troll i've searched a bit with no results.
Thank you anyone.
Also i know about the APEX launcher I was just wondering if there is something more direct.
CM9 and AOKP will both give you a pretty stock or more than stock experience.
Miui is a whole different ball game but not touchwiz

The cm or aokp roms, but they aren't fully functional.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Slightly off topic but why get SII when you can get the nexus? Sounds like you would love that phone more... and cheaper too.
Anyways, AKOP/CM9 is probably your best bet when dev gets really rolling on it with an official source release.
Because 4g.

This. Ppl that have had the s2 since long before you are also sick of touchwiz but there is nothing the devs can do to remove it completely till we get source
Questions go in the Q&A section
Coming from the Vibrant I had a pure google ICS rom and it was fully functional...
CM9/AOKP which would you guys pick. CM9 still in the alpha stages and really buggy? I would just like something stable..
I was just wondering if there was any themes for the calkulin 1.6 ics rom. I love this rom and calkulin did an amazing job on it but the theme is so...stock touchwiz..which i was never crazy about..I would love even the calkulin rom with the stock ics theme. If there are forums on this already I'm sorry. It's kind of hard to find exactly what you are looking for. If anyone knows of any theme please point me the right way. Thank You.

i know people love calks roms but since he's not here anymore (as in on this phone, not xda in general...) I might suggest just moving to something like mijjahs goodness or blu kuban... those roms are both largely de-touchwizzed and look and feel more like an AOSP rom. Both are built from ff18, as opposed to the older leaked fe22 and have tons of great built in features like rom updater, which makes it really easy to be lazy and still have tons of cool stuff... additionally they are still very much being actively supported and are gaining tons of new features now that the devs have source to play with... I know you were just looking for a theme but this would accomplish the same thing and put you on an actively updated and more current rom at the same time.... one last note if you do go this route be sure to flash one of agat63 or chris41g's safe ics kernels to flash from, or Odin back to an el rom as stock fe22 kernel can cause emmc bricks...

I agree, actually, I think the hold up is jelly bean is fixing to be released and many devs are waiting for that, they don't want to spend alot of time on these older roms, frankly, I am waiting with serious anticipation Although CM10 is looking real good.

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

This will be locked soon. And the most common answer will be "try them all", but you can try FreeGS3 JB in Android Development.
Also search for mods in Themes and Apps for a thread with "morph" in the title for full customization.

I have 2 ROMs for you that I have fallen in love with. The first is the latest Paranoid Android with its awesome custom options and battery life. And the other one is the one I'm using now, aokp with ktoonz. This ROM is also very customizable and has given me be best battery life so far.

Welcome to jelly bomb domination!...once you complete a full battery cycle and compare to other roms you will not mind the theming. Read/search the thread for how to mod it. You can get rid of the pull down graphic, slider and even the subdued background image that appears everywhere in v.8.0. At first I wasn't liking some of these either but now I barely notice them.

The answer to your search depends on whether you want to keep Touch Wiz or not. The upside to Touch Wiz is that you can still use S-Beam etc.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I would just flash for yourself and see what you like best. Different phones react differently to ROMs so what works for some people may not work for you. It seems that most people here are using Jelly Bomb, Wicked Sensation, Paranoid Android, CM10. Try them for yourself, but be sure to give it a few days to settle before you make any decisions on battery life, stability, etc.

i have left jelly bomb and am now trying Frankenstein's kill joy v2.1 and wow am i loving it.. talk about performance and batt life.. quadrants in the 6k range. able to oc to 1890 Mhz using voltage control! super clean ui. can use silkui morphology mods to customize how i want.
idk.. the jelly bomb drove me nuts.. to much theme.
its was fun for the first 3 hours.. but yeah. it didn't grow on me.
i wish there was rom ratings poll.. for each device. and a stability rating along with the rating. if anyone knows someone or is capable of making this happen.. id be all over it! i know there is alot of junk troll crap out on these forms. I was looking at a rom to flash.. and baised off of OP it sounded ligit! then reading through the thread i soon found out that no one had been able to get the thing to even boot.. why cant posts like this be FLAGGED. idk. maybe the moderators were doing a crappy job or something. seems like they come in when least needed half the time ha. anyways. thanks guys for pointing me in the right direction!!!!
gladd this post didnt get deleted.
as for suggestions i think i will try PARANOIDANDROID. i had it running on my epic 4g touch and it was snazzy.. i dont remember why i left it.. i have "the collective" on e4gt now and was loving it.
anyways happy flashing and wish me luck!!

what do you think??
I'm in the same position. I upgraded from my 3 year old EVO 4G and am looking for where to start. This is a whole new learning lesson for me after being so use to roms and upgrading on the EVO. Are there some stable stock roms that have the sprint applications removed already? Which recovery is preferred as well. The EVO pretty much had only one recovery that worked well and Clockwork wasn't it. Not it appears there are 5 or six. TWRP is looking pretty good.
