Hello so I'm thinking of switching from Stock TW rom to CM 10.2 and when I flashed a rom that is not samsung based I always missed the features and apps that are on samsung rom. So i was wondering how did you guys solve this? I like the Samsung camera low light feature and slow motion option in camera. Multi-window and Note app ... other stuff
Which wich apps did you replace the sammy ones?

Hi all. In the quest for better battery life I have recently switched my SGS2 to Oxygen ROM 2.2.2. As an AOSP style ROM it doesn't have any of the Samsung stuff. However I'm missing the Samsung camera app and the Samsung clock app.
Any ideas about adding those to my Oxygen setup?
They wont work, those apps need the samsung framework which oxygen doesn't have.
My uncle is having a galaxy note 2 bought in India. it came with Stock ROM 4.1.1 JB. so my uncle wanted to upgrade to newer version of JB. So i wanted to test a custom ROM. i heard that CM10 DOES NOT HAVE SAMSUNG'S PREMIUM FEATURES LIKE MULTI-WINDOW,S-NOTE etc. so can you tell which ROM i want to install?
I don't like CM because I think the camera is often very buggy and slow.
Also, there are often other issues - look at this list for CM 10.1 on the Galaxy S 3: known issues - look for example at TV Out, how it says "will never work."
CM does not have any Samsung features, no. The camera is awful in my opinion. I'm not even sure you can choose to save pictures to the external card - maybe you can do that nowadays, though I have tried many CM ROMs where you simply could not.
The S-Pen will still work but you will lose the S Note app itself of course, and Air View, gestures, multi window - you will lose all those things. You can still use the pen to draw and write with, there are many S-Note alternatives in the Play Store.
You will lose Samsung features like Smart Stay, the Samsung motion features... All that will be gone.
I definitely urge you to TRY some CyanogenMod based ROMs though and make your own decision. Some people love CM to death and prefer it to Samsung based ROMs. The only way you will know is by trying it out yourself!

Since its ur Uncle`s phone who might not be much comfortable with broken features, i suggest don't look at AOSP ROMS, these roms are only for people like u an me who can keep playing and flsahing roms with a CWM backup handy
I suggest either go for complete stock rom or a custom rom based on stok rom
Hit thanks If I helped, its free anyways
The title says it all. Is there any way to install all of the air-gestures from the stock s4 ROM onto my s4 with my new AOSP ROM? I really enjoyed all of the air gestures, and I'd love to have them on my aosp ROM. Help?

Currently there is no way to install air gestures or any of the other nice features of stock s4 roms.
AOSP/AOKP/CM10 types of roms all lack the bells and whistles which make our phones so excellent.
For starters compare the cameras, not only does the user interface of the aosp/aokp/cm10 camera look
home made compared to the stock MDL rom but it's missing a lot of the new features in it's setting too.
Then see if you can find any of the "S" features in any of the AOSP/AOKP/CM10 roms.
Not really the original air gestures, but..

Since getting my Note 2, I've only stuck with Touchwiz-based ROMS, but I really like the stock Android experience and I'm wondering what I'd be losing by moving to an AOSP-based rom.
Obviously, most of the pen features would be gone, but with apps like GMD SPen Control, third-party note taking apps, third-party multi-window and way better launchers (I use Nova now anyways)... what extra stuff do I loose that I might regret? I use the camera a lot on this phone, and even with about 6 third-party camera apps that I've purchased, I still like the Samsung stock camera app.
So before I jump, have any of you moved to a stock rom and regretted it? Why?
Camera isn't as good - slower to focus, burst mode isn't as good.
I rarely use S-pen, so can't really comment on that.
Most keyboards out there don't have a separate number row - there is a hacked version of the Google keyboard on here though.
Can't really think of much else - about the only thing I actually miss is call recording. If you take the plunge, I think SOKP is a very good place to start. Great customisations, good support.
In my experience AOSP roms have a little worse battery life than touchwiz.Elsewise there isn't really much to lose.
If you have a bit of trouble making up your mind you use Devil kernel dual boot.
This way you can have both AOSP 4.4 and Touchwiz 4.3 (no official 4.4 yet).

Damn. I guess ill be sticking with a touchwiz rom. Looks like I'll loose more than I'll gain. Thanks for the replies.

yeah I alwasys seem to come back to the TW roms ... I like the pen features alot...
and with custom 4.4 TW rom coming very soon for t0lte (n7105) I will be very happy.
vanilla kitkat roms are very nice otherwise.
I think you also lose HDMI out and you have to format your sdcard to FAT32.

Hi guys! I bought yesterday a SGSIII. After few hours i decided to install a CM 11. it works fine, but there isn't HDR option in google camera and CM camera. So I tried to find something other. I found stock camera, but for 4.3.x (here it link for it: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/75589-galaxy-s3-stock-camera-for-aosp/) But it makes bootloops on CM11. Is there any option to make it work, or maybe there is any good camera app with HDR?
I don't know where put this thread. IF it should be in Q&A section, please moderator to move it
i remember the TouchWiz camera working rly well on aosp rom. would be nice if someone could port it for 4.4

Would be nice....waiting for it too.

i'm waiting too. someone can porting samsung stock camera to cm11.
I don't think a TouchWiz stock camera app for sgs3 would work on 4.4.x AOSP/CM because the s3 international devices didn't get a kitkat rom, camera app of 4.3 Android won't work on 4.4
But there is a hope, some s3 variants like Verizon (with 2gb of ram) received a kitkat update, after all they have the same camera HW, so I think it is possible to use this roms camera app!
All we need now is someone to capable of such thing to read this post

Samsung Camera cannot work (well) on AOSP anyway. As it is true that mentioned Android versions are incompatible - noone officially managed to run a 100% working Samsung Camera on 4.3 AOSP ROM (let alone 4.4.). You had to replace the stock one with Samsung one and then either you had problems with autofocus or video recording or the app would FC itself. I've googled this before because I wasn't happy with CM camera quality, but there are no good solutions if your sticked to Samsung.
However I flashed a Samsung based kernel (ArchiKernel, arter97 kernel...) and CM11S camera app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/17-fixed-camera-app-lib-cm-aosp-roms-t2505973) and with it you get superb quality (99-100% like Samsung Camera). However HDR isn't avaliable at this time but it sucked on stock Samsung Camera anyway, so...
It is a beautifull dream ?, but i think is not possible.

yes thats true, there is allot of features that wont work, like GeoTagging, due to the dependency on stock ROM blobs, kernel and apps! still the core camera app functions can be ported, and no alternative camera app can really replace the stock one, because its the only one that can use the phones camera hardware image processing!
all s3 variants have the same camera HW and blobs, therefore posting the app from s3 models that received an official kitkat update is doable, but is it feasible? thats up to the experts to say!
whats even better if someone can develop an app that can use the phones camera HW itself, but thats out of the question because the blobs are not open source!
CyanogenMOD AOSP camera uses the HW blobs, and not all S3 models use the same camera, I don't think. It's not really going to happen, porting the stock camera to AOSP. If it could be done well enough it'd be done by now.
