Is there any way I can get my hands on a flashable ZIP (or even just a folder of APKs) of all the AOSP google apps—browser, clock, contacts, calendar, gallery, messaging, and phone? My perfect ROM would basically be stock Samsung ICS with TouchWiz apps replaced with their Google equivalents.
All the ROMs that have this (i.e. Resurrection) go a bit far with theming/mods for my taste, so I'd just like to cook my own. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
AOSP apps won't work on a Samsung base. Completely different framework.
A Samsung ICS base? I was under the impression that Holo apps would still work—like Gmail, Maps, Talk, etc.
Unlikely. If you want to try it, go to the CM9 discussion thread & download Gapps from link in the first post.

Thanks, will try.
Alternatively, what do you think would be the best ROM for AOSP apps? Just wait for CM9 to iron out all the kinks? (Personally just waiting on HDMI out to work.)
I've been using CM9 for a week (after testing it for a few days a month ago) & it's easily the best SGS2 rom either GB or ICS. The few things that don't work at the moment aren't a problem for me because I don't use them, but I've had zero problems/FCs/etc. Battery life is fantastic, definitely a daily driver for me.
Other AOSP ICS "roms" are winzip/theme jobs & not really roms, no significant original content in these. I haven't tried any of these.

I'll have to give CM a try, then. Are the remaining problems just a matter of needing some code from Samsung?
Don't know. Ask Codeworkx or Xplodwild. Things like FM radio are very unlikely to ever make their way into CM9.

All those aosp apps you asked are already there in resurrection and spike ics roms. Even more spike has a sperate aosp zip package to flash separately. You can try those.

I am trying to disable the sound and the light mainly as it wakes me up.. I found this blog http://ykkfive.blogspot.com/2011/10/remove-battery-fully-charged.html but I don't understand how to do what he says.. does anyone have an APK or anything else I could do that would be easier.. I have a Rooted (no roms installed yet) S2.. Thanks!
If a new Rom flash is the only way I will go that route but would rather not.. Are there any roms that don't require me to loose all my settings but do disable this useless feature.
If you understand that post and have the required programs (sdk etc), go for it. To do it you will need root. If you are going that far its not much further to just flash a custom ROM.
I think all the custom ROMs suppress that annoying message. Check the change logs to be sure. Plus with all the custom ROMs you will get tethering enabled and a host of performance tweaks.
Edit:
I see you said you are already rooted. Taking the systemui.apk from a ROM that has already been tweaked may cause issues with your phone. There are many jar and apk files that are inter-related, and taking that one may bring broken links, or be reliant on links not there.
You choices are to mod it yourself manually, or flash a full ROM that already incorporates it.

Yeah sadly I don't understand it all that well and based on what you saying is if I am not 100% on it, flashing a custom rom will be easier and less BS.. Well time to research the best custom rom for SG2. Thanks for the info man!
Try them all, what's best for me may not be best for you. Sometimes you have to see the ROM running, because the screen shots don't do it justice.

i've tried some and i think the closest one to original stock is "unnamed rom". (it retains touchwiz, but remove useless at&t apps and bookmarks, and also some tweaks).

That could be said for all ROMs except CM7 and MIUI. Some of the others ditch the TW launcher, but they still have TouchWiz, and are based on stock, debloated and tweaked. It's a misnomer that TouchWiz is just the launcher and app drawer, that is only a small part of the deep integration TouchWiz has. The biggest difference between them is theming. UnNamed and Cognition are mostly stock, others like S8 and H8's are still TouchWiz, even if they don't look like stock.

Snagged this last night, worked like a champ... thanks man.. Also with unamed is everything working for you? GPSs ect.. and is this really a huge improvement in battery life I am trying to decide to flash that rom or not.
I've been waiting for ICS for a while now and sinced it is released last march 13 I've heard so many bad feedbacks and bugs from stock LPQ and not even worth of flashing.
After several days many COOKED LPQ roms are out. Can anyone tell me whats the most Stable, bugfree or LESS bug LPQ COOKED ROM out there?
I don't know if it is THE most stable ROM, since i only tested two so far, but i really like the DarkyROM based on LPQ.
Very stable ROM, only issue i noticed so far is that Chrome is not working (have to deinstall the system app and then install over Market, works until reboot).

I think the general consensus will be to try them out yourself and see what you prefer and don't prefer. I'm wondering the same question myself as well, but I'm gonna experiment with a couple right now before deciding on a daily driver.

I would like to try every Custom ROM but problem is i have a hardtime downloading roms due to my slow internet connection..
By the way hope that you can provide some feedbacks regarding on what rom you are using rightnow.
Some says DarkyROM and Resurrection are among the widely used Custom ROM. Personally I use stock rom with 3rd party Launcher.
I will just wait for CM9 to become stable and move out from stock...

So the lockscreen issue and MMS are fixed on darkyROM?
hi
that was my question too. i read alot and when xxlpq were available i choose galaxy rom.
i installed galaxyrom lpq since 1 day and no fc's at all. it has also ota updates for lidroid pack and theme restore. deep sleep ok, battery ok but lets see after 3-4 cycles. no contacts editing fc, wifi and data ok, market ok- 3.4.7. restored and frozen some apps with titanium 4.8.4. sync ok for contacts, notes and calendar with phone explorer. its a rom close to stock and uses apex launcher. i now waiting for jkay work. only thing is that scrolling is not smooth as in gb roms.
Answer has to be non .
How can a firmware be issued and a perfect rom built in a few days with no testing .

Hi there,
I'm currently considering switching from a Samsung-based ROM to an AOSP-based ROM. Before doing so though, I'd like to check which Samsung / pre-installed apps will not work on an AOSP-based ROM (even if I transfer them using Titanium Backup), so I'd be grateful if someone could tell me. Also, which features would I lose doing so?
Then: If I decide to switch, can someone give me some tips as to which ROM to use? I'd prefer something lightweight, smooth, clean and stable based on Jelly Bean AOSP with some useful mods already installed. On my Desire I used Redux and Oxygen but I have no idea which SGS3 ROMs are like that.
TIA

Regarding your first question the apps which are installed by Sammy require tw framework to work.. So may not work on aosp... You can try though but you will get fcs.. Regarding third party apps such as drop box, flipboard they will work.. But you can anyways get them in play store..
You will loose Sammy specific features such as smart stay, swipe to call, and other motion gestures..
I can't comment on the second part as there are no best ROMs, you will have to try them yourselves or read and compare the OP

Thanks for the reply. As for ROM tips, I'm not asking for the best, I'm just asking for tips for lightweight, fast, stable and clean ROMs - preferably ones updated regularly - so I can have a look and choose myself.
Hey guys, just wanted to share.
I tried many roms (PA, CM, Omni, S5 Sensations etc) and I always find something missing/not working properly.
sometimes its the battery draining too fast, sometimes just random crashes and so on.
I'm thinking of going back to stock. I have the i9300 and the latest stock one is 4.3 (boooooo).
Has anyone done this route before? someone here also gone back from roms to stock?
Will be nice to hear others opinion.

Even stock ROMs can be plagued by similar issues to be honest.
To minimise the irritations I always clean flash any ROM that I install and restore only apps, not data.
I'm currently rocking this stock based KK ROM port:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-qs-i9300-kk-t2755841
with version 6.2 of this kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/kernel-boeffla-kernel-5-2-27-03-2014-t1964572
without any problems, it is certainly no less stable or functional than pretty much every factory Samsung ROM I have ever used.
If you do want to go back to 4.3 stock based ROM, I have always found Imperium http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37656328&postcount=2 to be pretty much perfect as a reliable, stable daily driver, using the stock kernel with a moderate profile (set in Aroma) I could easily get the thick end of 2 days off a charge under light use but with wifi always on and a bunch of apps like eBay, K9, Gmail, BBC weather syncing in the background.

Hey, you nailed it - main lag is within camera, gallery & dialer.
in Touchwiz i imminently replace the stock dialer with eXdialer, and the stock gallery with QuickPic.
I also been trying almost all the 4.3./4.4/5.02 but 4.3 stock base is the most stable and trouble free rom for me .
I cant stand whenever you want to snap a important picture the camera crash and need to restart.or phone freeze .
My favourites are 1- SMART DROID Simple v9.9 2-JustArchi_I9300XXUGNG3 3-NCSSROM NK2
#1 & 3 are heavily debloated + CROSSBREEDER it flys

Can everyone post a list of stable roms for I717? I don't like going through the trouble of backing up all my data and flashing a new rom only to have it crash multiple times per day and have something like bluetooth not work reliably at all. Maybe some people enjoy playing with that (a lot of the most popular roms at the top of the forum are like this), but I don't!
I'll start the list and say that Beanstalk 4.4 is extremely stable, only had it reset on me twice in one year, and bluetooth works 100%. Only issue is that you can't move apps to SD so you run out of space quick (thanks to kitkat). I'd love to find something above kitkat this stable...
And I'll add some that I have tried and failed:
Candy5: No matter what Gapps I tried (yes pico etc), none of them installed and even after going through every suggestion in the thread I could not get a simple google play installed. Stock browser crashes every 2 minutes.
Pac-rom: Promising but crashes 10+ times per day. Often does not power on unless you boot into recovery and select reboot. GPS is terrible, google maps often loses it's place and gives turn-by-turn directions 60 seconds too late. Stock browser crashes all the time as well.
CM: Bluetooth reliability is terrible. Quincyatt not updated since 2014.
Sounds like you should stick with beanstalk or return the device to stock. When you rooted your device, it opened up security issues so it'll never be as solid as you'd like. What hasn't been updated since 2014?

I don't like going back to stock because IMO it's less secure (heartbleed is a pretty big security hole). If you leave root access disabled and don't download shady apps a custom rom isn't any more insecure.

Yes, I tried every suggestion in the thread and it still didn't work. After trying pac-rom for a couple days (and having it crash 20+ times) I just tried wiping it and flashing candy again, and now Gapps with google play worked the first time with no troubleshooting. Shrug.
Seems rock-solid so far though. Can't post in that thread since I have too few posts, so one question, if I do the OTA download for the new 4.0, can I just flash it on top of my 3.9 version or do I need to wipe everything and start over? Also, under Settings, Apps, if I click an app and move to SD card, it will sit there and say "moving" forever. If I exit settings and come back sometimes the app will actually show moved to SD list though.
And the stock calendar app doesn't seem to let me log in, it says "Sign in to get the most out of your device". Then I enter the email I've always used and it says "This account already exists on your device." But there's no other way to actually select that account. What am I doing wrong?

Don't do the OTA yet since BB won't let me upload my roms. The ota notification is a fluke. You'll have to flash the rom fresh between trying to find the right gapps which will work on your device. Candy is the most stable of all my builds currently.

Still can't post in the main thread but:
-If you turn on "Directly show pattern view", nothing shows on the lock screen besides the dots (time, weather, owner info, notifications).
-I had the dreaded bluetooth bug happen the other day, do you get many reports of this? (bluetooth stops working while streaming music, and does not turn back on until a phone reset).
-Stock calendar cannot be logged into (edit: just installed the google calendar from the app store which worked fine)
Unfortunately these are all deal breakers for me but I really like the rom otherwise, I don't want to switch back
Any way to enable HDMI output? (I have the adapter which worked before).

I heavily utilize the "Move to SD card" option because otherwise the default storage doesn't hold more than 10 or so apps, but I've had a problem with Candy5 twice now where my phone will crash, and upon reboot, all the apps that were moved to SD card are gone. Anyone else encounter this?
I wish I could post in the normal thread.
Installed the latest Candy5 20151031, did a complete wipe of everything per the instructions, and after installing 1 app (gmail), the phone reboot the first time gmail opened while placing the gmail widget down.
Here's a list of ROMs I've tested:
BlackSTAR XI - Best ROM for the i717. Super stable and fast.
CM Official - Good, but very buggy. SD card breaks, phone reboots often, HW overlays, etc.
Padawan - Not much new here, just a simple modded version of stock. Very stable but not too fast.
Candy5 - Very laggy, as LP is still in development for i717.
CM11 Unofficial - A bit laggy, HW overlays.
All in all I'm a huge fan of BlackSTAR XI, best ROM I've seen so far.
