Any way to get the CRT on and off effect on JB 4.1.2 AOKP?
That has been asked a thousand times. They just put it on a couple 4.2 roms for this phone so I don't get it either why no 4.1.2 rom has it. I would like it myself. You have to decompile the framework and service jars most of the time but you can do it yourself. I want to move up to 4.2 but I am sticking with 4.1.2 until I see real advantages. I tried both the 4.2 roms the other day and both have issues. Especially blurry video even when it's not recording just blurry from the get go. Features missing etc. But you might like it since they have crt effect on 4.2 now for this device.

Anybody know of any side-by-side comparisons showing the differences between TW and CM10? I'd love to have clear insight to what I'm losing by using CM10, but what I gain by ditching TW.
Thanks in advance!
They are totally different launchers.
Different lock screens.
Different notification toggles.
CM has no motion functions.
TW does not have progressive volumes.
CM doesn't have any sprint stuff.
Different dialers.
That's about all I can think of right now. I was running cm10 until the latest LIH leak came out and have been very happy with that leak and run it daily.
I see a lot of 4.1.x ROMs, just wondering if any 4.2 are coming soon. Having trouble finding info.
Thats cause there is no info on Sammy 4.2 roms. Closest you'll get is a cm10.1 build, which is available for certain devices.

I was afraid of that answer... I'm just kind of torn between ROM choices... it seems like all the ROMs available are 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 with the 4.2 Gmail and Keyboard ported, which is okay but really isn't that huge of a reason to upgrade... I've looked at MyRom and a few others listed here but I see no HUGE advantage to flash. I'm rooted and ready to go, too. When I had my Vibrant, I went from 2.3.4 (I think) up to 4.0. Huge reason to upgrade. Here, not so much, yet as far as I know... Maybe someone could shed some light? I know I have a choice using the Jedi ROMs, Multi Window or WiFi Calling - of which I'd use Multi Window most likely... but not sure if that's enough of a real reason to get me to flash. I don't want my volume f'ed with (no Beats or DSP), so ... that's my dilemma.

I personally get better battery life on the 4.1.2 stock rom. And i like multi window. I would suggest a stock rom and then you choose which mods or whatever you like
So after upgrading my stock GNex to 4.2 I found that the performance was lacking, it felt choppy and slow at times, I though these issues would be fixed by a different ROM/Kernel and although it got a bit better I still don't have the amazing performance on my phone that 4.1 gave me.
I have decided to go back to 4.1.2 but I do like some of the features that 4.2 provided me and I want to ask you guys if there is a way (also it would be great if you could direct me to it if there is) to have these features on 4.1.2, the ones I'm more interested in are the following:
Photo Sphere camera
Gesture Typing
Quick Settings Menu
The first two especially.
Also any advise of a 4.1.2 ROM I should try? I was thinking in going stock but if you guys know of a great performance/battery life ROM/Kernel out there I would appreciate suggestions. I started getting into ROMs/Kernels, etc, until 4.2 hit so I don't know much about 4.1 ROMs.
Thanks.

I think other than the quick settings mod, rest you can get in 4.1.2 as well. Look over the forums, try a bit tweaking, you might come up with it. the Photosphere camera just has a few additional libraries and a changed Gallery app. I can't recall, but i think i saw a flashable zip for that.
as far as Gesture is concerned, yu'll have to change a keyboard. Look for "swift key".
Try BlackBean AOKP for 4.1.2. It was awesome, but before that, I would suggest yu give a try to Liquid Smooth 4.2.1. yu might change yur mind.
Hey all. I have a ICS (4.04) Galaxy S 3 for ATT. Its been working for me great, but since i removed the bloatware like gallery and s-memo things like the copy/cut/paste and the little icon that takes to to your gallery in the camera app functions wont work.
What GSIII roms would you recommend? A couple things i would like is if the battery life is the same or better than stock roms and the home screens had a landscape mode as well as portrait. (And hopefully they work in nova launcher as well).
When i had my GS1 i used the AOKP rom and i loved that. It just didn't have the homescreen portrait/landscape thing. Thanks for your help!
Edit: Also, is ICS>JB or are there pros and cons on both sides?
Different people, different preferences.
therefore, look, read, and test them out yourself.

If you like aosp then flash task's 650 rom. Pacman and rootbox are pretty good too. I would update to stock jb before you do anything. You will find it much better than ics.

I have to agree that JB is better than ICS just seems smoother and more polished to me. As far as the roms go i am useing the official CM 10.1 and love it. But you reall need to look and test a couple of the diffrent ones to find what suits you best.
These threads won't last long.
Recommended way:
1. Read OP for ROM features.
2. Check for ROM threads on top n see atleast a few latest pages for any issues or thanks. These are best indicators of how satisfied people are.
3. I'm on JB and this is quite stable. So I can say there are some very good JB ROMs out there.

Thanks everybody. First im going to upgrade to Stock 4.2. After a bit of that ill go to AOKP Then branch out from there.
all I've been able to find are aosp, aokp CM based roms...
while I understand the customizability of CM is superb and the vanilla Google platform is great... I've grown accustomed to many touchwiz based features since having both vibrant and now gs3 and want all my gs3/touchwiz motion and swiping goodies to work correctly n would like a good gs4 ported Rom based off of 4.2.2 if one exists.
There aren't any 4.2.2 Touchwiz roms that I know of for our device.
Nope.
You can buy an S4.

thanks captain obvious. lol
I wonder what the limitation is with bringing an s4 Rom over to the s3?
in any case.... what then are some of your favorite 4.2.2 CM builds out there folks?
also, are there any aokp/aosp rooms with similar dialers and contacts features available on touchwiz like Swype -> to call <- to text contacts etc? any cm bulls keep gs3 specific motion features like calling contacts displayed on screen just by putting phone to the ear etc?
If you want touchwiz features then flash a touchwiz rom. The op of every aosp rom will tell you that.
On another note, my favorite aosp rom is liquid smooth, the latest version gives me amazing battery (over 4 hours screen on time). My favorite TW rom is S3Rx. Has tons of customization and also great battery life.
Edit: the aosp MMS apk has the ear to dial feature you want though. You have to turn that on in the settings.
As far as I know, only one country has got 4.2.2 on the international s3. Itll be a while before we see much for 4.2.2 tw. There's no s4 ports for the same reasons there's no international s3 ports I'm sure. The hardware difference makes porting difficult, and most who can do it will probably be working on things that are more unique. There's probably little that distinguishes 4.1.2 tw from 4.2.2 tw. That's my best guess anyway.
Closest you'll likely find for now is Universe S4.

thanks fellas, I really appreciate the responses... I think I'll give each of those a test drive across the next few weeks and see if any suit my likes and needs..
oh... I've last question is about flashing cm based roms... the "wipe" is no different from the other roms right? it will leave my sd partition with pictures and personal downloads alone right?
Or will it try to reformat and repartition everything meaning I need to completely back up all onboard memory to the computer?

Its the same but you should always back up your important files, better safe than sorry

Switching between TW (4.1.2) and cm/aosp (4.2.2) will mess with the layout of your internal storage. Look up android 4.2 0 folder.

OP im in the same boat as you.
i like the cheesey TW features. i like the swipe to capture screen, telling my camera to take a picture, and esp. the sbeam touching the back of the phones.
i know NFC works with others but you cant send big files. TW and sbeam transfers huge files no problems.
Thats the only reason why i havnt changed
