Hi,
I am a newbie with the scene to take it easy. Got my new S2 and i am keen to put Batista70 3.7.6 cutom rom on it. So my question is that if i use this custom rom on the phone, Am i correct in saying that i would still be able to download and use apps like Go Launcher EX and other apps from App Market?
The main thing i am after is better performance & less bloatware that come standard with Samsung.
Also from what i understand, the rom has underclocked CPU, GPU etc. Does that mean that i will slow my phones performance?
Thanks
Iru
why not go on the thread of batista and ask those questions there...alot of people who are using his rom are pretty helpful and would answer all your questions.. but anyhow the rom is one of the best around. you can download and use go launcher and launcher pro basically any launcher you want. im using touchwiz but go launcher is good and the same with launcher pro..i recommend go launcher cause you can download themes and other stuff from market. you can get those launchers for free or if you want extras you can get the pro versions but the free one is good to.
regarding the underclocking no it will not slow the performance of the handset and it will save you batterylife as well. dont try and changes settings on the cpu just flash the rom and enjoy it and any questions fire away in the batista thread and you are good to go
why not go on the thread of batista and ask those questions there

Is there a ROM which does not come with any default google / samsung crap?
Or is there a way to remove the defaults junk?
Thanks

hi everyone!
i have some doubts about vanilla (froydvillain) vs sense. i recently rooted my hero and flashed a recovery, but i'm using stock 2.1 rom... so here you have some questions: (sorry if they are epically stupid LOL)
1. does 2.2 vanilla has flash lite in the browser... for example, when you go to a site in my current rom (2.1 official) you can see the flash animations etc., is it possible on vanilla?
2. does froydvillain support live wallpapers? (i know that they are useless but i love eye candy xP)
3. is there any app that has multi touch in sense and in vanilla doesn't?
4. will the lack of sense, in your opinion, be negatively noticeable? like the dialer, gallery, etc. if yes, are there any third party apps to compensate?
5. finally, what kernel should i choose?

1. No
2. Yes, subject to the usual limitations of the hero hardware regarding 3D wallpapers
3. Not that I know of
4. Not really to me, try nubdialer which should be in the rom, or dialer one. The gallery is a nuisance, but there are recommendations in the thread.
5. I would honestly use the stock one (ie. don't flash any one afterwards), as the ROM is sufficiently fast with no overclock to beat most phones with overclock (in terms of daily use)
thank you for the quick reply! i was going to ask about flashing the kernel but since you said it is not necessary i'll just forget it... about the gallery i'll just google it, about flash lite if i really really miss it i'll just go back to 2.1 rom... xD
well, thank you again!
i'm sorry for posting again, but at the download page are various links, one for the rom and a bunch for the kernels, my question is, do i have to download any kernel or is it "included" in the rom link? i know it is a noob question but it got me confused since at the list of kernels is the "normal" one (576mhz)...

I am using FroydVillian 1.5, it is super fast, stable and the looks are amazing. I do not miss the sunse UI at all, I miss the widgets, but they just use up performance anyway. I flashed the 576 kernel, which was a lower version number than the one that came with it...but as of right now, I have had FV 1.4 and liked it enough to get FV1.5. I have cycled through many roms, and these are the best in my opinion for everyday use...

If you're looking for stock ROM themes you will be severely limited. Your best plan would be to apply a stock, deodexed ROM with significant user interest/support. That way you can keep the stock performance and apply whatever theme you like. Make sure to note your version of the ROM and the version that the theme is compatible with. For ease of use I use CheckRom, it is stable, up to date and with the built in Kitchen App it lets you apply multiple mods/kernels/themes all with a nice gui and with the assurance that it is definitely compatible.
Stock Rom Themes Android market best source i guess .

Nope, not without you telling us what rom you where on, and what rom you flashed.
Also if its a custom rom its more than likely the thread you got it on lists what had been removed and how to put it back.

At first, I changed to yakka rom v4 then I found that the samsung apps is missing..
Then I changed back to the initial rom which is criskelo rom v34
and the samsung apps is still missing until I restore back stock rom,
then I found my samsung apps.. But it disappear again when I changed to yakka rom..
That's the story.. And I can't find the solution for the problem..
This will probably be because the new ROM has had the taken out by the Dev thats why you cant see them.You can download them from here clicking on the blue link next to each app you want.

The real solution would be for you to have read the rom builders description of each rom .
Most devs remove Samsung Apps as a waste of space to build a lighter rom .

The solution is this flash this : http://www.phonandroid-kitchen.com/ota/AloisioROM/AloisioROM v4.0/AloisioROM v4.0 -Samsung Apps.zip

If you check in the threads, where will most likely be flashable zips with the removed apps to put them back. (I found one in the Criskelo thread for example)
As far as the apps on the spreadsheet, they might work but I dont know which rom they are from, and what version they are, best idea is to get them from the rom thread.
Or use a different rom that doesn't remove anything.

Sure, but the devs mostly want to build fast and light ROMs and as you see you still have options to get the Samsung Apps; propably you find the same info in all of the ROM threads

Hello,
I'm new to XDA and to the android world and just bought a Samsung Galaxy Ace,
I did a little searching and discovered rooting and custom roms and installed one or two to check them out.
But one thing that i really didn't like was that i wasn't able to put the default samsung theme,
I'm unaware if any rom has the default theme installed, and if anyone knows that would be great and if not how can i get it ? (I mean with defult icons and everything).
Thanks in advance
Use Blackhawk Rom or Gingerreal 2.0
If you are using CM7 you can use this theme. If you want the same launcher like Touchwiz you have just to use this. It will look like the original Touchwiz, instead of the statusbar. There will be other control panel, but the battery icon etc. is like Touchwiz.
Thanks for your answers but is Gingerreal very stable ?
I'm seeing negative comments on the topic and i can't really find the Blackhawk rom.

yes 100% stock theme ...
and
for language choose the one which is for your country (there are 3 versions of rom ) you will get your language
The links are down for the European version.

Hello Guys,
I am sorry if this is not the right place to post this request.
Btw, Can someone from the super-cool developers of 8552 please upload a Clean Rom?
Clean rom = non customised, non-rooted, no extra things installed Stock rom, but after removing all the samsung crap out of it.
None of the bloatwares.
No weather widget, no stock widget (who uses this sh#t anyways) nothing.
Just a plain, fast rom.
Thanks in advance..
PS: Btw, cyanogenmod project for our device is totally dead?
i am trying to compress the rom as possible. second thing if you want to move this thread just report moderator by caution triangle on top of your post.

I would not recommend Baidu as it's not the fastest Rom, yet the most beautiful Custom Rom for Quattro till date. Also a little less battery backup than stock as it has not power saving mode. Using greenify might solve this issue, but I forgot trying greenify when I was using it. I quit Baidu because of low earpiece volume duing call and same for speaker phone.
I would recommend Whacky Rom as it is based on latest stock Rom with tweaks to make it clean and beautiful yet quick enough to enjoy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687763
My overall experience is that no rom is better than the original Stock Rom (Ofcourse Rooted). :good: Odexed Rom are most stable ones. Stock Rom is most stable and good until unless you regularly clear the unnecessary cache files(maybe via Clean Master app or wipe cache). I am into Whacky Rom currently because it looks nearly stock and beautiful status bar it has. Transparent just like kitkat. I'll stick to it and soon make it customizable to my requirements.
