[Q]TouchWiz Themes, Mods, Tweaks, Add-ons, etc...

Have a dumb question in which I am sure a lot of threads have been created about it but I cant seem to find one thread that at least displays what works on our T-Mobile variant SGS3.
What I want to know is what themes work, add-ons, tweaks, etc.
Themes: There are a lot to choose from with the "OMG 19 Themes" aroma install but there are a lot more themes that are located in the other SGS3 variant forums. I've managed to get one of the International version "Glass Theme" to work with a few adjustments. Basically it would be nice to see if there was a thread on here to show what themes work and what does not.
Add-ons:Multi-Window, Ink Effect (Multiple Colors), Pop-up Broweser, Volume Rocker Skip track, Back-To-Kill, Multi-Dpi TouchWiz apps, TouchWiz launcher features, etc...
A lot of these add-ons can be found in some of the TWRoms available but wouldnt it be nice to have a thread that gives us the freedom to have these be installed on any TWRoms?
Dumb thread I am sure but I am bored at work so....

Personally I like aosp roms such as cyanogemmod 10.1 over the touchwiz stuff, i just can't stand using the default stock sg3 rom, it's just annoying in a lot of ways. if you were to switch over to aosp i would give you suggestions on tweaks etc, i get blazing fast speeds of data at 8mb/s i get like amazing battery life, my battery usually lasts 2 days no charge before reaching 14% so I don't think touchwiz has all those features but hey I could give you one kernel that i recomend for you that also works on touchwiz, It's the kt747 kernel.
Here is link for that amazing powerful and battery saving kernel. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871946
make sure you download either touchwiz version or aosp kernel version because flashing aosp kt747 kernel on touchwiz rom will put u in a bootloop.
good luck

If you have any other AOSP (particularly cm10.1) tweaks mods or addons you would suggest I would love to hear what you are using....

Rawdaddy,
One good app i can suggest you find on the play store is the air push detector because that app will save you from malware bastards who make bad software that pushes spam notifications to your phone that drain your battery. air Push detector is like your antivirus or firewall or the malwarebytes of the phone world. it will knwo all malicious apps after it scans them.
i also use the room toolbox lite which allows you to get tweaks mods etc and even edit buildprops but i'd be careful when editing build props or using roomtoolbox make sure you backup your current rom so if u mess up any settings then you can always go back. One of the most important things I can suggest when it comes to watching downloaded movies on your big gs3 screen phone is to use BS PLAYER, u can get it from the android app store.
I've tested every movie player out there and the only one that is perfect and can run every video well without errors is the bsplayer, if u notice mobo player u might not hear sound but see video and mxplayer vice fersa yet bsplayer can play all hd 720p movies very well. I'm an online movie downloader from scene sites.
another suggestion i recomend is to stay away from MIUI roms and also Jovy's roms such as his xperia, it usually takes Jovy about 5 release updates to get things right, i've tried his roms and data doesn't work right and after im done talking to a person the proximity sensor gets screen stuck on black.
MIUI is just complete junk, i'm a crack flasher flashaholic and I know definately that stuff need serious work for people to even consider seriously, they want to imitate the ios look but the whole things is unstable and battery life sucks.
Use Liquidsmooth Rom if you want super stabiltity.
I'm enjoying the cm10.1 and facebook is working on it just fine.
I also dont' recomend installing themes on any cm10 build, battery life will die.
For battery tips I would recomend you clear battery stats before flashing a new rom and drain your battery all the way, let it fully die then plug it in without unpluging at all until it finishes charging and you should notice great improvement.
Also don't keep battery plugged in yor charger overnight after it's fully charged because i heard that puts excess electricity in your battery and phone causing issues and your battery life won't be prolonged.

Well to be honest ive pretty much tried every rom that there is available for us to use. Ive even tried AT&T roms. From stock ics touchwiz to jb touchwiz. Ive tried most if not all aosp roms aokp roms cm roms paranoid roms pacman roms and I'm still not able to stick with one rom.
Most if not all Aosp based roms suffer from screen flickering and the wake up black screen of death. Some roms have features I like while the others have better visual settings.
I recently just went back to TW roms. Thata why I want to know what I can do to improve my experience with these roms.

Umm. There is some questionable advice in this post. Clearing battery stats? Not sure the poster understands what that does based on his other misinformation. You can leave the phone on the charger overnight without any issues. The phone recognizes the full charge and allows it to run down a bit before charging again. In the morning when you pull it off the charger it may appear to discharge fast but that is because it was not a full charge. That is not an issue. Running the battery dry is also bad info. It can damage the cells in the battery. Don't trust me. Do a little research and see if you come to a different conclusion.

Ps. Bad mouthing devs is not a good idea Osman.

Ugh I am fed up with 4.2 at the moment (Data Speeds hang sometimes). Going to try another TW Rom. AeonFluxxV5 seems legit. Any one with any themes they would like to share???

[Q] Smooth senseless ROM with good battery life?

I'm looking through this thread and deciding, which ROM should I flash. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832891
Can somebody recommend me stable, smooth ROM with good battery life? I've already tried CM10 and AOKP, but I wasn't satisfied with poor battery life which these ROMs offered me. But maybe the problem is on my side, I don't know.
Could you please tell me your experiences and help me with choice?

Did you stick with the roms you tried for a few days? Only asking because most roms take a couple of battery cycles to settle down.
I'm using IceColdJelly atm and it normally takes a couple of charges for b4 the battery life improves. It may not be the best for battery life but my point is stick with a rom for a while before deciding on its performance. Plus you can always tweak the kernel settings for better battery life if it really is that much of an issue.

I've had good luck with cm10 as far as stability, unless your doing nightly builds, aokp is also good. You could always try turning down screen brightness a little if you have it all the way up. Right now I'm using galaxymod rls 14.1 and it keeps freezing at reboots, and once when I set the timer.

Yeah, I thought it should be better after month of usage, but my phone thinks otherwise
However, it seems to me that the best battery life so far I've experienced with stock ROM...

Lol, I found stock rom to have better battery than ICJ too, I just can't stand the Sense interface.
Besides you asked for a senseless rom (so stock's out) and ICJ has been the best 4 me
Paranoid Android Pro Nexus 7 on Tapatalk HD

Try ViperX rom if you want good battery life, with a few hours of browsing on 3G and wifi, some gaming, YouTube videos etc, managed to get 4 and a half hours of screen on time
However if you really want a senseless rom, then I recommend JellyBam with NCX kernel, you can get about 4 hours of screen on time

Agreed - does come with sense but just flash the Aroma installer to completely remove sense and install a custom launcher - see thread for more details.
It's incredibly similar to how I'm using ARHD 18.1 - but I've cleaned everything out using ROM Cleaner meaning it's incredibly light. PM me if you'd like my cleaning script.

Thank you for suggestions, I'm now checking out Blade ROM, it looks promising
BTW I'm not sure if I'm overlooking something, but does it support USB OTG as stock 4.1.1 ROM do? I'm awaiting OTG cable and I'm really interested in trying this function.
Also I want to use Mass Storage mode instead of MTP, is it possible with this ROM?

Mass storage was dropped with jb, reason being is that MTP supports the phone and Usb host accessing the memory at the same time.
If you want mass storage you're going to have to go ics I'm afraid.
Usb otg is supported however I've not tried it and have heard rumors it requires external power source, can't say for certain.:thumbup:

Thanks for the clarification, now I understand why HTC renounced Mass Storage to the detriment of MTP.
Thank you, guys. I've downloaded Blade ROM and I'm going to try it. I'll see, if the battery life is really that "EPIC" as it claims Else I'll try CM10.1

I thought I read somewhere that you need to format any SD card over 64g to fat32 to make it work on jb

Please help with Battery/Kernel

Hello, this is my first post but I have read this site for many years. If this post goes in a different section please move it, Im sorry. So a little backround first. My phone is currently running 4.2.1 with the JellyBam Rom. I rooted my phone basically the very first day I got it and the battery has been terrible. I get about 12 hours if I am lucky and thats with only an hour or an hour and a half of screen time. I have done all the basic tricks with screen brightness and sync is off and still no improvement. I have been on numerous roms and it has always been bad. So I have been reading that the kernel can affect battery life but to be honest this whole kernel thing confuses me. All i know is that I can not be on a JB kernel because i am on 4.2.1.
This is what my phone says now:
Android Version : 4.2.1
Baseband: S710.10 S.FI27
Kernel Version [email protected]#7
JellyBam Version jellybam-4.2.1_d710_v5.3.0-STABLE_20130207
Build Number d710-userdebug 4.2.1 JOP40D
eng.ken.20130207.010412 test-
I also have CWM recovery if this means anything regarding kernels. and would like to stay with it if I can
So my question is if I want to try a different kenel which should i try? And do you think it would help with battery? And how do I change it, is there a good video showing the steps? Is it flashed like a ROM?
Please help THANK YOU!!!!

Welcome, without JB kernel source yet we have to use what our devs made to work. The simple answer is that the kernel you have is your only option at the moment.
I have never tried that rom but battery life on AOSP roms is less than normal. Its a trade off of having the latest and greatest.

Ok so flashing another GB or ICS kernel will not do anything really? Does my battery life sound about normal then for running 4.2.1? Like i said I get 12 hours if im lucky....with just moderate use im looking at 8-10 hours.

That's about normal for any phone with a removable battery... Buy another one and an external charger and take advantage of the fact that you have a removable battery, if you carry a fully charged backup you're good for the day no matter what, even with heavy use... I don't know why nobody else does this. I used to have three for my Shift. I wanna know what phone you guys are coming from that that is bad battery life, especially with a screen this big... I swear about a quarter of the posts on this forum are about battery life, it's kinda ridiculous.

Wont work with a GB or ICS kernel. Yeah that battery life sounds about right, price you pay for the latest and greatest. As mentioned grab an external charger and spare batteries. I keep a spare with me and just swap and go worry free. I got some EzoPower brand batteries on Amazon a few weeks ago and so far so good. Paid under $15 for 3 batteries and charger.
Several weeks ago I switched to GA10 and my battery life is great. That is another option if you have not tried it yet its not bad.

And what is GA10 is that a jelly bean kernel? Where do i get it? My rom istrustions state I can not use a jelly bean kernel thats why i ask.

Ok so i guess for right now if I stick with JellyBam Rom I can not use it. It states specifically not to use a JB kernel. Does anyone know if using a battery from the original galaxy in the S2 is ok? it does fit.
PS. I have been messing around with underclocking and voltage and I have seen some great improvements in battery. I clocked the CPU down to MAX 800 and MIN 200 for during the day and from 3am-8am I brought it down even more to MAX 500 MIN 200 and as of right now i have 41% battery left and i have 13 hours and 44 minutes with a screen time of 1 hour.
Can underclocking it that much hurt the CPU/phone?

Part of your problem is the build your on, 4.2.1 is an unofficial build, so you're dealing with a buggy system, if your battery is old and worn your going to have all kinds of issues.
The original S battery has less miliamps than the epic touch battery, 1600 mha vs 1800 mha, it's like using a partially charged battery. You need a new battery.
Under clocking and voltage is the wrong way to go, if you need to run at those numbers you may as well just get a flip phone because that's how retarded your epic will be trying to run it this way.
I suggest a new battery and some stock/rooted Jb. I'm on stock/rooted Ga10, no mods no tweaks and regularly get 16 to 20+ hrs in between chargings . And everything works.

Make sure you backup your sd card internal and external storage before flashing.

Someguyatx has the link you need its simple to use, make copies of your internal/external sd's on you're pc and use the "rooted restore" option. Do not use "keep your data" option, you could have a problem migrate to the new Rom by keeping your data. Its better if you start fresh from scratch.

Well while the ball is rolling midas well ask. Basically back up anything you don't want to lose. Have Samsung drivers installed.. Download the stock rooted 1 click he posted. Open one click. Put phone in download mode/odin mode, get com port and hit start. It puts phone in new state which is good. The other way is to download sextapes stock tar and odin 1.85 or 3.04. Flash stock by the same way but checking PDA and finding the file.
Ga10 is 4.1.2. It is a Samsung built rom. So it is 110% built for this device. I know many steer away from stock roms. I used to be that way, but ga10 is slick!. Its fast, smooth, no lag, gps reliable, data speeds (for me) kick ass. Battery life is bad a** too. I put in fresh battery in before bed last night and when I picked up phone 8 hours later it still said 100% Flash it and you will be a happy camper I guarantee it. The screenshot i have below is after hours of Tiger woods 2012, web browsing. gps ect. HEAVY use. Still has 34% I still be using this charge well into tomorrow. (extended battery). Still stock battery gets 3+ hours screen time-extended gets me 7+. Good rom. Thanks sxtp

You guys are the best...kicking myself for taking this long to get involved on this site. you guys/gals are very helpful....i understand your directions the pasrt that was confusing me was this:
Mac/Linux - Install 7-zip, then use it to unpack the individual ODIN components in Reference Section B (below). If Heimdall fails flashing all 3 files together, try doing them individually. Skip the remaining instructions that are windows specific (steps 3, 4, 6).
Android - Install ZArchiver, then use it to unpack the ODIN OneClick 7zip self-extractor file in this section (long press *-oc-sfx.exe, Open as archive, Odin-OC, select *-OneClick.exe, Extract). Use Mobile ODIN to Open File the resulting *-OneClick.exe file. Mobile ODIN issue - modem might not flash consistently. Skip the remaining instructions that are windows ODIN specific (steps 3, 4, 5, 6).
But i guess if i am using Windows and the One Click this does not pertain to me. Am i correct?
PS The only thing i think i will miss from 4.2.1 is the lockscreen widgets, i kinda liked how you could have a widget per page. And if i go to GA10 and say I want to go back to a custom ROM do i just flash it as normal? Will I still have CWM recovery?

One click on the pc is as simple as it gets. Linux, Mac, hiemdall none of this applies to you right now.
To go to a custom Rom you can follow a guide in development, there are several, for now it involves going back to Gb with a safe recovery.
Once you run this your not going to miss the custom roms with all the bugs they have. On this lock screen you can have up to 4 short cuts, just like having widgets without bugs.
Enjoy.

Random reboots come with the territory my friend. if you can't live with them, just use the stock ROM.

when i first buy the phone used on ebay it came with stock ICS and it happens as well i think i had a bad unit thanks anyways

I just had my device sent in and they completely replaced everything on the inside, not sure why they didn't just give me a new unit.. But anyways. It's been a few weeks and there were no restarts got the first week but then started again slowly, and now they happen frequently again...

That's almost certainly the case. I have a bad unit myself and hope to get it replaced soon. LG's QC has a bad reputation with this model.

Is that a fact that they changed the parts in there? I sent mine not too long ago and it was ok for 2 weeks then reboots were constant (2-4x a day) after that. I figured they just did a factory reset.

Go back to GB and there will be no random reboots guaranteed.

Just for fun, try the following.
1. Power off your phone.
2. Remove the Battery.
3. Remove the SD Card.
4. Leave it alone for at least 10 minutes.
5. Put everything back together and see if that made any difference.

how i get back to GB?????? the only way i see to do this was when i unbrick my phone but that GB IS REALLY WEIRD

Yes, they specifically told me what was replaced.. I don't have the sheet with me right now to list it, but it's basically everything on the inside.

HoNo has a GB rom that you can flash. If you find GB weird then stick with ICS and the reboots.

whats the name of this ROM or just can you send me the link to the page or something i definitly gonna try it!!!
thanks in advance

Give it a try!
I had random reboots on almost all Roms except when I was on my Stock GB (V10f), ICS leak (v18f) and stock ICS (v20C) before installing any Custom Roms... The best Custom ROM I used was Liquid Nitro with Wind Kernel.. the mobile was stable, battery life was a lot better..
Currently I am on CM10.1 nightly with Wind kernel 1.0.. I am getting almost 36 hours on regular usage and no Random reboots...
All the best..

Wait, what? Are you saying you are getting 36hrs of battery life? Stock battery? I can believable. I'm lucky if I get 16hrs on HoNo CM9.
Also, to keep on topic, I think the OP might have a hardware issue and if so no ROM will truly fix it; some might do better at masking it though. FWIW I got probably one reboot every other day on CM10, but I get maybe one a week on HoNO CM9 and they seem to only occur when the battery is low.

i got the odd random reboot on stock GB.
on stock ICS i don't remember getting much, not sure.
i put CWM on the phone, bricked it, unbricked it
haven't had a random reboot since, been 2 weeks now, the roms i've used are cm10 (which had great performance, the odd flicker on the screen entering standby mode, poor battery life, didn't support MHL) but didn't get any reboots. (ran that for about 5 days)
i then switched to mattman86's liquidnitroV6 which is linked in my sig, i like it better, its stock isc bloatware removed wind3 kernel added supports mhl, good battery life, good performance, no flickers) only problem i have with this rom is that is that it has stock bluetooth stack, and doesn't support alot of bluetooth outside of headsets etc (cm10 has full bluetooth stack).

you may give Quattrimus a try. tdmcode fixed many bugs causing reboot or bsod with stock CM10.

Hi everyone
After install almost every ROM the only one that doesnt had asingle rebbot is GLORYROM it is truely th Glory for me.
I dont know what i did but i have 45 hours without a reboot.
This is the cronologic order for what i did
1, i install Glory Rom, coming from HONOS Full throtle and i get a reboot 15 hours later
2. i search A tread about flashing Basebands by HONOS in the thread it says that it came with the baseband and firmware (i dont know about that stuff) i just wonder What would happen if i change it?
3. i install v10j baseband and i get a reboot 27 hours later
4. Them i Install v10f and untill know i have no more reboots. i already had almost 46 hours without a single reboot, im really happy i hope everythingg keep working as it is.
The Glory Rom it fast!!! Lag free, stable, and reboot free so long!
The Battery life isnt the best compare with CM10.1 nigthly but i manage get 22 hours without charging and i get 5% left and that really good for me so thanks to all of you for respond and i hope not get another ramdon reboot.
And if somebody explain to me the miracle come on and be my guess jejejeeeje!

[Q] Lag! Ugh!

WHY is this phone so much slower than my S3 was??? The lag..... Ugh. I did a factory resest and it has helped a little, as well as reducing the animations to .5 but it is still slow and often lags. If the One had a removable battery Id already be gone. I loved my S3 but so far I am not liking my 4.

I've never heard that as far as I've been in this section... Ur the only one or one of the fewest to say it.. Maybe too much apps being used at once? Mine was any faster than my s3.. Try flashing evilart rom... Maybe it will fix it
