Where are all the Devs? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I was wondering where are all the devs who created these roms and haven't updated their roms for months. Have they abandon the GS3? its seems as though either they moved on or creating AOSP or AOKP roms, which can be boring because they all look the same. I hope that they can update their roms and stay with the GS3. Seems as though there are different roms made for the AT&T GS3 that I wonder why aren't they being ported to t-mo.

Became touchwiz is filled with bloatware, it takes time to remove them all! By the time they release a new custom ROM, you would see an OTA update. So it would be better to use aokp and aosp , which is fast and stable vanilla built!

For one thing, many have moved up to better devices now that T-Mobile has made it so much easier to so.
Besides, what is it you could want that isn't already there? You've got many to choose from, and a couple that are currently and/or are always in development.
There are some devs that release one or two Roms and focus on that. Then there's others who like to move on to something new when they get their Rom to where they want it. Just because it's no longer actively developed, doesn't mean it's not an outstanding Rom.
Imo, I think it's all pretty much been done. They're not going to keep recreating the same stuff over and over, just to make it look like more development is going on.
One last point, always remember that we are enjoying the fruits of their labor. They don't do what they do because we want them to. They do it because they enjoy it and want to share. If they decide to move on to something new, just be glad for what they did contribute. Don't be unhappy/upset/mad for what they didn't do or don't continue to do!
I didn't take your post as being angry btw, I just said that because some people do get that way.

Thanks gang for the heads up. You're right these roms are awesome and sometime it gets confusing on which one I should load. I do like touchwiz because its smooth and its different from all the AOSP/AOKP roms. they are fast too. I'm stuck with the GS3 for a while till I can get insurance to do the "Jump" thing. but I'm happy with my phone but its roms that I like on it. Thats why I wish that some roms that I use can get updates so I can stay with it. but its ok.
I like trying new roms out.

Many of the AT&T roms can be flashed to our devices if you didn't know. You.might need to make a few minor changes like apns and build.props, but most you can flash and they'll work. Unless something changed that I missed....

Really? wow I didn't know that. I just know that the at&t MIUI roms are usable for t-mo, but didn't know the others are. I don't know anything about apns or build props.

AOSP ROMs look the same? Boring? Really? Have you tried an AOSP ROM such as CM or AOKP and the hundreds of themes in the PlayStore? I have used both customized Touchwiz and AOSP, each ROM has its own features. I do however miss the Touchwiz camera app when switching to AOKP, but there are other things that TW can't beat AOSP. Your choice. I truly appreciate the army of awesome devs on this forum. You guys are great!!

Didn't mean that way. I just got the use of theming and realize with AOSP/AOKP I can do lots of theming with UCCW/ZW/WL I can make my phone look different. Once in a while I do miss touchwiz. Yeah, these devs are awesome and the work that they do.

I have had this phone for a couple days and have tried every rom in the dev section, when nothing is extraordinary from stock.

Besides, the roms we have are awesome and are constantly developed and improved.
We have some fantastic devs here!
Not sure what you're looking for op, but a good deal of the mods I can think of are already incorporated into many of the roms.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I can kinda see where the OP is coming from. On the G2X forums the stock roms were very very customized. These are all "tweaked" stock roms with little difference between the many... based off different bases, and have "build prop" tweaks and "init.d" tweaks, animations and so on. The att section has truly optimized and custom stock roms.
I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining cause I use aokp and cm10 mostly. But it'd be nice to have the extremely custom stock options like att users got.

With JellyBean around the corner, it will kinda slim for awhile, like the above post, all are stable that are there, and well maintained. I agree good devs here....

You and I both know a ton of customization was required to make the G2x usable. That is not the case with the GS3.

True. I'm also coming from the G2x and even tho we did I tend to stay closer to stock because I actually like tw. I will occasionally flash cm nightly just for ****s and giggles.
Sent from my SGH-T999
I don't mean customization for stability. I mean like whitehawkX edt tweaks and such. ATT roms have skipping tracks via long press on volume rocker and such. We have good stuff but it'd be awesome to have more options then different color stock roms. Most of the stuff I want is flashable any ways. Just a little rant... I'm just happy this thing is stable no matter what haha.

I wasn't trying to complain a lot. It was mainly what the above poster said. Just not a lot of variety like some phones have. Don't get me wrong, we have some of the best devs on the sgs3. I just like more options though
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
In my opinion OP Android is maturing and the devices are much more usable than they once were with now just minor annoyances now.. There will be more development soon but the GS3 is enjoyable stock with tweaks for now... Such was the case with the OG Vibrant when Team Whiskey and Eugene tweaked and enhanced stock Twiz and the dev scene for that device took off and is still prevalent with the Vibrant being one of the first devices to run a stable JB... As a matter of fact because of devices like the Vibrant we have many of the staple dev names we see amongst many threads amongst many forums and for several devices including this one, for example Whitehawkx, Annex and others..
Stay tuned as I suspect it is going to be fun..
Those devs aren't focusing on TW at all. They have cm10 and variants to do and kernels to work on. Things are especially going to die down for a little with JellyBeen coming around the corner.

If you want features of an AT&T ROM flash an AT&T ROM.. what's stopping you? They work fine if you set up the APNs correctly. I mean look at the i9100 forums. There's so many ROMs there but all of the touchwiz ROMs differ in what, a few build.prop lines and a theme? I'm not trying to attack you I just am not understanding what exactly you or OP are asking for. I understand some features aren't in our ROMs but like I said, flash an AT&T one if you want that feature. Or flash CM10, we have that feature

You're stating exactly what I stated.
Only reason I flash stock based roms are for WiFi calling cause of some locations I work at... which isn't on any of the AT&T roms.

You said you mostly use CM10/AOKP but you won't flash an AT&T ROM because of no WiFi calling? You can set up WiFi calling on any ROM you want. I do it on CM10. Sure it is roundabout and not T-Mobile WiFi calling but it's still free and still WiFi calling.

Its not that big of a deal I prefer AOKP over all and I only work at those sites for a couple days a month so I just nandroid an old stock rom... not that big of a deal to me. I was just stating that I understand where the OP was coming from. I don't like setting up other forms of WiFi calling through third party apps.

Good answer. Seriously. All of the stocks only differ by a color here and a icon there. Running the Cm10 nightlies, and seeing the new additions and fixes is what I'm impressed with. I am sure soon, we will see more roms being done with the cm10 base and others. My daily, is CM10 period. Seen enough of the stock stuff. HTC MyTouch took awhile, but was flooded later with some good roms.

I'm a die hard Cowboys fan. Care to make a signature wager? Maybe adding logos of the winning team?

Do you like aosp?

I just got a sgs2.. and well the aosp game is kinda ridiculous on this device... props to the devs who's provided the options they were able to on this device but where are the rest of the roms at?
expect to see some more aosp comin from me here in the next month or so
EDIT
JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS I MEANT NO DISRESPECT AT ALL.. I EVEN CREDITED THE DEVS WGO BROUGHT SOME GREAT ROMS TO THIS DEVICE.. I just want people to know I'm here to bring more to the table.. I'm guessing there is a major hurdle to overcome to bring aosp to this device since I'm not seeing a lot of it.. but I'm up for the task.. and I'll simply let my work speak for itself..
If you have an issue bring it to my attention but please dont harass me for stating that I wanna contribute to this device.. I don't want a bad rep at all and I hope you all will enjoy the work I produce
Only complaint on AOSP roms is that data speeds don't seem to be up to par compared to stock Touchwiz. Hopefully once Samsung releases the latest ICS source things get better since FI03 fixed the slow 4g speeds that haunted previous ICS builds.

3g speeds are the same on aosp and touchwiz. Its 4g that's different. I would suggest sbrissens build.

Everyones different though, just for me I tried them all (ran AOSP roms for the last 3-4 months), 3g seems a lot better on Twizz especially at work where it's a very low signal area. And 4g is no contest between the two.
So since my post mysteriously vanished... I'll sum it up for those that missed it.
Our devs are working hard to get us official cm status, we have many aosp options to choose from already, we have many more roms coming with all the work chris41g is putting into development for our device.

I dont release half of my roms because I focus more on one but show me a sprint device with more recent aosp than us besides the flagships that are basically included in aosp to begin with. think sprint will let you exchange your device for one with a community you can respect for a few months til you're ready. Maybe including some aosp options will provide somewhat a better understanding of ur purpose for this thread.

I deleted your post due to it being very rude and flaming another member. It was reported and it was removed. I will continue to do this if I see fit. On another note if you are producing or friends are producing roms then I'd suggest you let you works speak for themselves and not sit here and continue to act the way I have seen in this thread.
With that I will be locking this thread and ask that another like it not be made again
Thank you papa smurf.. no pun intended

I respect you as a fellow dev. I'm actually using your ROM right now.. I'm a hardcore aosp guy and I was just expecting a device with a lot more options coming from the last two outdated phones I was on..
I was expecting to see some kind of positive feedback to see how interested people were in seeing more aosp not people trippin the EFF out.. I have a feeling that this is gonna be like the og evo threads all over again.. everyone's on such a defensive stand point!

I know technically CM has to be compatible with our phones and i know alot of folks would object to PA cause they prefer their rom with the TouchWiz element, but since the International version just ported PA and CM10 over to their phones, what do yall think the likely chance is that we could get it ported over? I do like TouchWiz and the whole functionality of the S Apps, but i also do like variety. What about everyone else? Would you all make the plunge to PA?

Definitely interested in seeing a PA rom for this phone. One of the reasons why i picked up this phone was for the PA roms coming to this phone. Loved them on my SGS2.

Absolutely .... I love PA.

Paranoid Android looks pretty neat, I wouldn't mind it at all. This looks good especially with the whole creative s-pen aspect of our handsets.

Yeah i know we would lose that function and alot of us love it. I mean i do too...but sometimes i like the look and feel of PA. Especially all the customization of it. I love theming
Hm.. well, I've emailed Molesarecoming (PA main dude), also like, every dev in the T-889 community. Maybe after this weekend, some more developers will be T-889 owners.. crossing fingers.
PA looks so cool i hope it gets ported soon and i use my note 2 as a big galaxy s3 so the s-pen isnt very useful so it wouldnt bother me if it didnt work on PA

Ahh, I thought that rough S-Pen functionality was part of ICS (as in apps that use the s-pen sdk would work with it), my mistake.
However, it looks like the Note 10.1 and AT&T Note 1 ParanoidAndroid ports have S-Pen support, so I am still hoping.
I can't wait to dump touch wiz for a cm based rom
So this somewhat resembles good news for T889- from a pm from dev, ptmr3:
"From what I have heard there are a couple Devs putting together a device tree to compile AOSP from source. PA is compiled from source as well so I would assume as soon as the device tree is out together a whole world of possibilities will open up."
Most of the other devs I've talked to have their hands full atm, but at least this is something.
Wow thanks! That does look like a hopeful response. And thank you n pming the devs. So excited. Wish i knew more about deving but the only thing I've ever done is theme the notification bar back in the Nexus One days lol.

New Rom Ideas

I have been battling back and forth between touchwiz roms and AOSP roms. . So if any developers are looking for a new rom to make, here is my idea (yes, i know it is not a new idea and has been done on many devices). What i would like to have is the stabilty and battery life of a UVDLJA rom including touchwiz launcher, with AOSP lockscreen, inverted AOSP contacts and messenger.I don't know if its possible, but could there be options for this using aroma in the touchwiz roms?
Something I saw while working in the s2 board with my wife's phone was a rom with a touchwhiz base and the aokp rom control features added, I personally would love something like that

TL;DR... I agree on the new rom idea lol. And I *****ed and moaned about the roms we have all in relativity are too damn close to each other. But I still respect their hard work, and praise them all as they are doing things I wish I could do.
I wish I had the knowledge and computer strong enough to do this kinda work, I would've had the rom up and running so long ago lol... I used my phone to get most of it working. building sounds and apps into a rom little things here and there just started to break I gave up.
This would be my ultimate DD never have to flash a rom again. I absolutely despise the "nature" that Samsung built in to this phone.
We have about 3 sounds mods everyone focuses on, some cameras and Keyboards people build into the rom, some awesome themes I'm extremely happy with. I would really like a TW rom with all AOSP sounds instead of the water drops and stuff. Camera from TW, LockScreen from AOSP, Notification and Status bar options from AOKP, 4.2 little things here and there as options.
Know I mean no disrespect and I do appreciate what our guys do in the Dev section.
I miss the devs that worked on those kinda things. We have great guys here (I might get [email protected] for this one) but in general they all seem to be adding the same things; Acid, Beats, Walkman music, removing other Samsung Apps while others keep them. They all leave bloat like LTETest, and LTEsettings in the /system/app folder. I could keep going and going. Know I mean no disrespect and I do appreciate them again. But where are the old roms like we used to get (mentioned above) we had some great stuff in the G2X also. We had roms that had custom lockscreens to launchers and all sorts of neat things I would've never expected. Maybe it's time I stop helping the stupids and save up and get a new computer with the power to build roms as well. (I won't release them to people though lol)
i know the exactly what you guys need
here's a preview (the MyTouch 4G Version):
of course, instead of "Senseless" it would be "TouchWizLess"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440993
give me a couple weeks to really get to know this phone (and find time...high school life w00t) and i'll see what i can do
I am in the process of developing a ROM. Nothing solid yet. I really do agree with keeping the stability and features of stock with some aosp features. At least for me I'll be a start with dev work. I have a Mac so I've already downloaded xcode and working and following dxsidia as guide. It'll take me a while since I work 10 hour shifts at the hospital and also do some website dev on the side.

I'm glad to see people wanting to work on this. I believe it will make a great DD. It seems I'm one of the few that really like the touchwiz launcher and Widgets, but I ask you to please include that in the rom. People can easily download the other launchers from the market.
I agree, anything that is downloadable from the market should stay there. It's great that you can include something in a rom, but so can simply pressing the install button. Any thing that is already a flashable .zip (like beats) or (acId sounds mod) should stay as a flashable .zip. Just my opinion.
In the ATT galaxy S3 forums, there is a rom called nexusmod reloaded that is close to what I am referring to. Its based on ics and I don't think it has inverted apps that we like.

Ya, that's pretty close to what we're talking about here. I think I flashed that rom a while back now that you point it out. I'm sure we will get something soon.
This is what I was talking about

Damn... I am 41 years old and I love electronic toys. You are making me feel very old. Well young'n, when you get a rom together let me know. I have tested for a couple of devs and understand how to run a logcat. I did a little theme work on the musty trusty HD2. I know a little bit, but run a family business plus I'm back at night school taking care of some unfinished business but I am happy to help.

dude, you totally can.
easiest way, though, would be to disable your lockscreen and try out widget locker or something like that.
as far as the inverted apps go, i would hit up some of the guys in the themes and apps section. wouldn't take very long to whip something like that up... hell, even the lockscreen wouldn't take very long to modify.
why CM chooses to build from the source of another device is beyond me. it would be much easier to customize the layout/UI, parameters, and make it functional with the firmware meant for this thing, and you would keep all the functionality of TW.
anyways, yeah.
There is this great divide feeling as I've been playing with my new S3, and it really brings homage to the Linux scene (compare: xfce vs kde vs gnome, etc.).
Though I've settled on TouchWiz for now, there are some things I wish were an option and not "just the way it is".
I finally got kitchen working on my Mac. Got a base up and will hopefully be able to post it later. This is my plan since we be seen this throughout. People want stability of stock and those who love tw features will love this. I will be implementing aroma installer later when I get that injected. I've only built a ROM before for myself but never posted it. It'll be theme free and since it'll be stock most stock themes should work. I basically want people to do the work on their own. If they want to add volume mods like beats , they should flash it on their own . This is an experiment to get my foot out there and I'd love the support. Any name suggestions. ??

Idk if this is possible but I always enjoyed the 7 recent apps by drop pulling the notification bar. Just my personal preference, don't really like the hold the home button to see the recent apps.
Quick question guys, how hard would it be to port a sense rom? I know if it were easy we would have a few, but just how hard is it?

What about using an 4.2 launcher and some status bar tweaks.

ROM help

Is there a place that lists most/all/many of the popular ROMs and their haves/not haves?
I had VaelPak on my old Evo 4g and it had a really neat feature that I could remove all the sliders from the lock screen and use gestures that I create to unlock it. I could also set applications to open with certian gestures. Would love that if any ROMs have it. I heard a while back that one of the CMs did, but not sure if CM9 or 10 have it.
I am looking for a very customizable ROM that can do call recording, I also really like the Samsung keyboard. And I want a ROM that all components (wifi/4g/camera/NFC) still work. also need wifi teather, but I think most ROMs have that.
I did look in the development forum, but many don't list the features and "broken" parts.

Just stick with touchwiz ROMs . and there isn't such a thing as the best ROM. Every ROM is great in its own way and all depends on the user. Touchwiz can do all that you are asking . unsure about call recording. There might be an app for that on the market.

And when you say that threads don't say what their features are. You must not read a lot. Every single ROM I see has a list of features and bugs section.

Whats wrong with something aosp based? Cm10 reached its stable release and runs flawless. even the nightlys of 10.1 are stable as hell for being brand new and expected to have bugs. Touchwiz sucks and lags like hell. Nicks that shiit, you wont regret it. And if youre looking to customize a lot try aokp. Youll spend days customizing it.

LOL Now now. I didn't mean to start anything. I know there will be several opinions and I expect to flash at least 3 or 4 ROMs just trying to not flash 20 ROMs. Takes too long to configure each one.
One question about AOKP. is that a "type" of ROM or is that "A" ROM? Also I find a lot of different things about CM10, but I am still not sure where to get the stable release. I am not interested in nightlies or test versions. And I have flashed my share of ROMs but what are gaps? That is a new one.
Thanks for all your help!
Sorry I'm drunk Lol

How do I get the samsung keyboard? I like that it has swype and buttons for ".com" and "@".
Also any suggestions for a rom/kernel that supports call recording?
