Can we get some more Odexed (not Deodexed) ROMs please!!! - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I know I'm probably the exception. However I rather have a smooth, fast, battery friendly phone, than a themed one. I've used pretty much every ROM in both AT&T threads. As far as stock goes, the maybe 2 or 3 odexed ROMs, and including (stock rooted) are the fastest and most battery friendly, compared to deodexed. I would be willing to donate well for a good modded odexed ROM.

I didn't think the odex/deodex made any difference in ROM functionality/performance/stability, just dealt with how apps were built into the systems memory and allowing theme options (as you mentioned).
Possible it's just placebo you're experiencing?

+1. As far as I know the speed difference is negligible. Battery life should negligible as well if any at all. While being odexed may make some small differences here and there in speed, it is probably not going to be noticed. The difference is so little that it would be hard to blame speed or other issues on solely the odex vs deodex because it is a custom rom. The only time being deodexed would make a difference is when you first boot up after installing a new ROM. This can take a little while, but after that, boot times should be normal.
Besides, if there really was a noticeable difference, then many devs would offer odexed roms

I also only use odexed ROMs now. Its hard to explain but it seems the odexed ROM doesn't get bogged down over time. I have been using the same odexed ROM that's been personally debloated for the last 6 months and it's still just as smooth as when I installed it.
Though the difference is minor, it is noticeable to me. Just like how many people notice the smoothness difference between an iPhone and a galaxy phone. The difference is minor but it's definitely there.
I've been working on learning how to mod certain apks then reodexing them, but I'm still having a lot of trouble. And I wish there was a way to do it easily on the computer without using the device.

That might be true, I'm a perfectionist. I notice its definitely smoother in most applications, boots a lot faster. Just over all the performance way better. Like I said, I've tried most of the roms in the forums.

DARKSIDE Dev Team CM7 Hybrid

Hey guys as I am almost done with this Rom, before I finish and release i would like to know what you guys want to see in it? The DARKSIDE really cares about user feedback its the only way development gets better. Let me know. Which launcher do you want to use, ADW (stock in cm7), Launcher2 (AOSP,and my favorite), or Touchwiz (SGS2 stock). Did you want some stock apps sammy included because you have grown to use it. Like I said let me know, but know just cause you ask doesn't mean I will deliver, I also gotta look at what's best for the rom. Thanks again. Lets turn this development section around and bring it back.
Welcome to the DARKSIDE!!!

For me pretty much stock AOSP and everything that is not needed gone. So better performance and smoother
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I'd say anything that can be downloaded from the market you could prolly leave out. As for sammy Apps, if you can get them to Work, include them, as long as they're unistallable by the user(I personally don't use them). Did you get the audio bug worked out?

I personally do not like the adw launcher like on CM7. I prefer stock or TW. I have grown accustomed to these two and are the smoothest I have used. Adw has cool features, but I would like this phone as close to stock as possible. If people want adw it's in the market. Or you can add a flashable zip for each?
Either way do what you have to, to make this ROM the best possible and smooth and I am happy.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

Hello, you seem new to this. The difference between CM7 and Juggernaut, BeastMOD, Domination, Bombardier, and Android Zombie (AKA TouchWIZ ROMs, I like to call them Touch****) ... the difference is that CM7 is made from the stock gingerbread builds, and then the kernels/System files are ported to the device. TouchWIZ on the other hand is full of bloat, which makes it run slow, and isn't as tweaked and optimized as CM7. CM7 would always be far better than Touch****.
Safe Flashing!

Before you make a stupid mistake like others, please don't flash a Samsung Galaxy S II ROM, make sure it's a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II, they have different processors. Touch, a lot of different things.

OK people !
I Got My Samsung When It Came Out, I Rooted it and Activated It The Next Day.... I Am Now Tired of The Stock ROM I Have and Wanted You Guys To Point Me In The Right Direction of Some Cool Looking ROMs. If You Guys Could Post Me Some Links, I Would Greatly Appreciate It.!
Thank You!
Not to be rude or anything but all one has to do is look at some of the popular ROMs in the development sections to get a pretty good idea. The popular ones tend to always be near the top, provide great documentation and support, and provide pictures and videos to get you a great idea of the experience. Just spend 30 minutes looking over the various options, and flash a few to see which one you want to stick with. Flashing ROMs is so easy nowadays that it really is just a matter of how much time you are willing to spend playing around with them. I'm waiting for Jellybean ROMs before I really make the jump and satisfied with the performance of stock (with Nova launcher) until those JB ROMs become pretty stable and can be used everyday.
You really can't go wrong with any rom currently out. I've tried them all out and they won't disappoint. I'm currently running Freeza's rom and though it's touchwiz based, he really changed it up.

For me they have all basically been the same in regards to battery life. At a minimum I can pull 16 hrs on battery with 4+ hrs of screen on time with each rom. I'm not really into playing games on my phone so that helps. However, battery life is really user dependent because we all use/set up our devices differently...so what may end up being good for me may not be the best battery life for someone else. Definitely give each one a try though and see which works best for you
I'm definitely going to try them all, but god damn are all TW roms almost 1gb in size? I thought sense roms with big @ half the size.

Not all of them but if they're full of addons, such as FreeGS3 by Clark, then it can get big. Freeza's rom is probably the smallest coming in at about 498MB

I don't think that's necessarily true. I've seen a few people post that FreeGS3 is noticeably smoother and less laggy than Blazer. Not knocking Blazer since it may have some other features that people prefer.
For my previous phone (EVO 3D), I tried several Sense ROMs and there was a significance difference in performance among them. Is it such a stretch to assume that a similar variance would be present in custom TW ROMs?

I guess my point is obviously people like all these roms, or they prob wouldn't always be the top four threads all day long...
It really depends on your own preferences as they all appear to be stable and running well..
Again my advice, pick one and flash it.. if u feel like trying something else then try that too.. If somethIng goes wrong restore your backvup.. again.. the beauty of xda.

I get your point but the beauty of XDA is also in the ability to solicit opinions to make an informed decision. I don't think my question was that out of line. It's not as open ended as simply asking what the "best" ROM is.

Omega looks to be best custom Rom. Why?

Any significant reason to choose over Revolution or Winam etc?
Thanks

At least for me it is atm! Neverending process, tests will go on! *hehe*
Recently I found this on the XDA portal...am about to try it out.
I have been using Android Revolution for quite a while now and i must say performance and battery life is impressive, as good or maybe a bit better than WanamLite. But there are multiple good rom`s out there and the best thing to do is try them out and keep the one you love/suites the best.
It depends actually. Don't get me wrong but I definitely agree that Omega is the best out there.
Why Omega?
Indie is a great developer. Very nice guy and respected. He gives support to nearly everyone whenever he can. So, kudos on that part.
On Rom side, I really love the fact that there are 3 options (default, bloatware free and custom) for you to choose from. I know others have this but let's stick to the topic ya Battery wise, I would say it might not be the best 'out of the box' but it certainly hit my top 2 spots and that's for sure. However, a simple tweak(s) will make your phone blazing fast with superb good battery life.
Also, if you are themer, Omega team has quite a few seriously experienced themer. Love their theme honestly.
Last but not least, many people actually love Omega maybe because of the support they provide. I was once new like those newbies in the past and it was a few Omega team members who assisted me along the way. Glad they were there!
So, yes. Sometime (at least for me), trying a new rom is not about the rom itself. The dev and the team plays a huge role as well.
Just my 2 cents ;laugh:
I still the "the best ROM" is too subjective a phrase. What suits one user won't suit another. Omega and wanam are deservedly popular because of their great work on the SGS3.
I'm still looking for that elusive total black/white theme, otherwise happily trying every custom ROM I can find (had my n2 16 hours, and already flashed 11 times..).
I've never "got"CM either, and as Samsung evolves, it seems more pointless than ever. What on earth is the point of buying a Samsung device only to remove its useful stuff like Smart Stay, etc? I like the way CM fanboys have convinced themselves that no radio and a suboptimal camera are actually really great. CM belongs on the Nexus IMHO.

Instead of searching longer I can EXTREMELY recommend THIS THEME! The guy works hand in hand with Vertumus, a pretty famous modder here on XDA who is specialized on stock themes. If you like to have a near-stock experience, really check this stuff out!

As posted above, there is only this one mod that really looks nice to me!
Yeah, I like that theme, but I'm stil on 4.1.1. I'm aware of vertumus - sorry, THE MASTER VERTUMUS - tried his domination theme on the SGS3, it didn't really float my boat TBH.
I prefer no colour at all anywhere - nitroz's Exodus or pele's BAT themes from SGS1/2/3. Boring, huh

Okay, was worth a try! What about a mix of the theme I´ve posted (stock-a-like) and raubkatze´s stuff? This is what I´m doing, as you can at least mod the noti-bar as you like it! Else, I think we have to wait a bit more until more themers realize that the Note 2 is the best device out there and they have to buy one too

AOSP Rom Issues

So I'm really wanting to flash an AOSP ROM onto my Note II, but so far I've flashed JellyBeer and Paranoid and both had issues with the sensors, gyroscope, and Bluetooth. As far as what I've read and seen all over the forums is that all AOSP ROMS have these issues. The sensors can be fixed by doing the Perseus kernel fix, but the Bluetooth doesn't get fixed (and I really don't like the steps to flash the Perseus kernel for an AOSP ROM).
Anyone know of any other AOSP ROM that do not currently have these issues, or is this something we'll all have to wait and see what comes about?
Thanks to all the Devs for their hard work, and I'm looking forward to using a fully working AOSP ROM on this phone (especially if that ROM is JellyBeer!).

No other AOSP ROM will avoid these issues because all of them use madmack's kernel, which is likely the root of these problems. Furthermore, he's stopped any further work on the CM10 version, and focused on getting CM10.1 working, so unless someone else picks it up it will stay in it's current state.
He's done a great job so far considering how little he has to work with, and it seems to be a minority of users that have these problems (myself being one of them), so I defintely agree that focusing on CM10.1 is the way to go. I'll just stick to the TW-based ROMs until then.
Looks like they just got a decompile of the proprietary Samsung stuff to hopefully help resolve the audio issues in CM10.1, so with a little luck and a lot of hard work, we can all switch over to CM10.1 and leave these issues in CM10.
EDIT: And because these issues don't effect everyone, you should just try flashing an AOSP ROM to see if it effects your device. Backup your current configuration and you can always restore it or flash back to stock and go with a TW-based ROM if you have issues. It's not a big deal. The whole process might take 10-20 minutes, if you don't bother restoring your app settings while you experiment.

I've actually flashed JellyBeer, JellyBam, and Paranoid, and all had issues. One other thing I noticed is that the AT&T versions seem to be the ones with the issues, as many on Rogers seem to be ok...
I'll get you the link to the fix hold on

Thank you but I am aware of this fix, I even have commented on that thread. It does fix the sensors but not the Bluetooth issue. I also don't like the "dirty" way of flashing the ROMs over the kernel.

I am running Cleanrom 3.5 with no current issues on top of note2core OC kernel. Super fast, great battery life! Scott has released Cleanrom 4.0.5 but it comes with a 23 toggle mod applied. When I loaded that mod over 3.0 it created most of the issues you speak of. I an holding out on 4.0.5 until they ensure the toggles dont break anything

I believe he wants an AOSP rom not a touchwiz based rom.

Jelly bean on the incredible.

How does it work? Is it worth installing, responsive?

This is very similar to "which ROM is best?" Nothing for it but for you to try.

Well I know which one I'm going to try first, but an 'Is is worth it' I think is easy to answer. Everyone can tell that there is too much lag or lack of response to be useable. That is what I was asking. See, I was told by my manufacturer that my Rezound was not capable of running Jelly Bean (Which is a lie, because I am running it), and the Incredible has much lower specs.
Anyways, I'm sure I'm going to try it. I was just seeing if anyone else had, had they experienced a miserable time at it. Not looking for suggestions.
There is a bit of lag since the inc is not meant to run JB. It can obviously, but it's not meant to. Not a lot of lag, but it is there, and the features of JB outweigh the lag for most. Most inc power users, I'd wager, are running some version of JB as a daily driver, including me. The main ones who don't use JB are the ones that need the video camera to work.
In summary: if you don't need the video camera to work perfectly, yes it's worth it.
I am running Tiny's cm10.1 and it is running very good just WiFi and camera and some crazy things lol

Thanks guys. I finally found my old dinc and eris (missing in boxes after a move) and want to mess around with different ROMs. I run Infected on my Rezound and see its now available for incredible. It is a sickly modified CM based ROM.
Part of me wants to mess around even with some older flavors, like Gingerbread, Honey Comb, or even Eclair. Just for nostalgia.
Thanks again, I'll post back how it runs for my use when I have a chance to use it for several days.

I've had my dInc since release and have tried many different roms. Infection is absolutely fantastic and buttery smooth. I cannot recommend it enough. it brings a new lease on life to this phone.

I can 2nd that. Tried the first Jellybean for dinc's I could find, and it was slow and problematic, then I found Infection's Jellybean 4.2.2 on these threads--and it really works, like the phone was designed for it.

So you praise one ROM that is built off another ROM but don't think about the people that worked to make jelly bean and CM10/CM10.1 possible on the dinc in the first place?

I wasn't aware that saying what ROM worked for me, was in any way dising the people whose hard work made previous and other ROMs possible.

You're right. Infection is good. A lot of it is the slimmer ROM and tweaks that helps it. Probably the tweaks especially the animations. I might have been a little off color with that comment.

Well from what I read, you're like a god here, Tiny from all the amazing work you have done, and are doing, especially with the dinc. Please forgive my very amaturish remarks!
tiny ,pons,zach
