My question pertains to this ROM/post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505433I
maybe I am misunderstanding the original post but in it he says that there is a way to fix the small home button lag and that it is a setting in jkay mod. Does he want me to download jkay mod seperately and install it or should my install already include it? if it already includes it how do I get to jkaymod settings. Note I am using the second rom in the above thread. I've heard good things about ICS and wanted to try a 4.0 rom.
I didn't think jkay mod was in any of the ICS ROMs yet. There is a home button lag fix in jkay settings on the GB ROMs with it. I think its called jkay deluxe in the app drawer. I have avoided the i777 leak. Sticking to the i9100 ports (SHOstock RC1 or Mystic's pride) or AOKP. I don't remember the lag being in either of the i9100 ports, check the change logs, but I have switched so many times to so many ROMs in the last few days I may be wrong.

I see, that part of the post was probably pertaining to the first rom linked. Thanks for your quick answer. =)
Correct. JKay hasn't rebased on ICS yet.
It's possible to do the home button fix with smali hacks - but right now many of the classic modding tools are a little flaky on ICS.

Well, I've looked around a lot and I can't find much clear instructions so I figure this post won't be only beneficial to me. I've rooted my GS2 and flashed a few roms and stuff, but I can never get some of the UI elements to my liking. There's always one or two things that's missing from one ROM, that's there in another, but that one misses something from the previous. Anyway, I'd really appreciate some help in learning to theme my GSII. I just got rid of CM7 #116 and went to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168836&page=942
CriskeloRom V38. It's pretty nice but I'd like to change some of the icons and stuff. Firstly I'd like to change the battery icon, the wifi and edge icon, and maybe the icons in the notification bar. Also what I'd REALLY love is to figure out how to add my own animations or transitions and stuff. I've always been jealous of how smooth iPhones seem to be because of the transitions they have. And the overscroll bounce has been disabled, I'd also like to add that back. I think some of these things can be done thru JKay mod, but I'm not sure how and I don't wanna go around flashing stuff that I'm clueless about. All helps is appreciated, thanks a lot guys Oh and forgot to mention, I'd also like to know how to increase the number of apps shown in the recent apps

Yeah, I have been. I'm not finding much info, hence the reason I'm asking a question. I'm not illiterate. I was just hoping some more experienced users could point me in the right direction since I'm still fairly new to this.

you can enable the overscroll bounce with jkay deluxe settings. you can disable it if you want. regarding animations or transitions again you need to find a rom that supports them..look around in the threads and you will find roms that have them.heck themes now add them so if you want to flash a rom and then flash ics theme you are guaranteed to have what you are after...so here is what i would do in your situation:
either get go launcher from market. It gives so you so many options regarding animations or transitions between homescreens and app screens. that is what i am currently using. then no need to flash a rom since the launcher gives you all that
second. go into jkay thread and read on how the settings work and read the changelog
third find a rom and then a theme to suit your needs
Its the Devs and Themers that have that information but they tend not to read the Q&A or General section .
General section of XDA.com may have more info .

Thanks for the reply i tried enabling it but the option is there, and also there aren't any of the overscroll bounce packages available for XXKL1 as far as I've read.. I'm using a rom with an ICS theme and a few transitions right now but I thought it'd be cool to customise them how i like. I'll need to read a bit more about JKay though. I like Widget Locker but last time I tried it, I got bad battery drain. Think I'll give it a go again and see though.

Ive got two SGS2 phones one running the stock XXLPQ rom ( which has been rooted and had CWM installed ) and the other running the Omega_ICS_v4.0_ICS_XXLPH ROM.
I'm looking for a customizable 14 statusbar toggle buttons with QuickPanel Settings app type of deal that i can install via APK or even flash through CWM if possible.
I did look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289896 but didnt know if I would have to mess around coding etc to get it to work
Im wondering if anyone has made a stand alone version of the status bar that is ion the omega version so I can install that on the Stock ROM phone along with Go Launcher EX.....I will be driving down to spain later this year and I want to use the stock phone with Sygic sat nav for stability as my main phone and the omega Rom'd phone as my media player plugged into the stereo in the car.
Just to clarify im looking for a status bar tweak / mod for the standard ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ rom n
I know for a fact that FOXHOUND 0.5 is using the customizable 14 status bar tweak.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162715
But whether or not you can get a standalone installer for it i'm not really sure.
Looks like you might need to follow lidroid's guide if you want it on your custom rom
Im not wanting it on my custom rom I would like to have it on the standard ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ rom if possible
Ah, my apologies.
It would seem you would most certainly have to follow lidroid's guide.
Seems like a hand full of mucking around to do but if it is something you really want, then I guess it's worth it?
EDIT:
Just a quick look on the market place and I found this application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&hl=en
This could be exactly what you're after?
Hmm working phone v bricked phone.....knowing my luck ill wait until someone else who is more experienced than me is able to do something like this.
excellent thank you very much bud....ill give it a whirl when i get back home this afternoon.....top dude
After flashing all over the place for the past few months, I opted to go back to the oldest nandroid I have, which is 2.3.4, UCKK6 and my kernel is 2.6.35.7_ZedomaxStockKernel. (I like most of the ROMs I've tried, but my game data would for some reason go missing, and it's quite a pain to start playing a game from scratch every 6 or 7 days - so I figured I'd get off ICS for a while).
It's all well and good and everything, but there are a few custom ROM features that I liked. For example: the 14-toggle menu, which allowed long-pressing on a particular toggle to go to the related settings menu. I also wouldn't mind ridding myself of the home button lag (that was fixed with that dreadful 2.3.6 OTA update). I don't use voice commands very often, since they often fail to do what I ask of them.
So anyway, can I flash mods through CWM like I can on a custom ROM? Can I flash different kernels and scripts safely? Some of the mods I've seen have only been developed for certain ROMs, if I remember correctly, so obviously I'll be unable to use those. If it comes down to it, I would be willing to flash a stock-based ROM, so long as the wifi doesn't murder my phone and/or it's not deodexed (I don't really care for theming and the phone seems smoother(?) when it's not deodexed).
Sounds like you would like Unnamed 1.3.2 It's based off of UCKH7. It looks exactly like stock and has the toggles you want in the dropdown window. I think there is a mod here that will take away the home button lag.
I am on Unnamed 2.2.1 that is based on UCKK6 but lot of people report the wifi drain bug with KK6. I somehow managed to not get that and it runs fine for me.
Hope you find what you are looking for.

This. +1 . Unnamed's older version is what I always flash back to for an awesome stock experience. Also I believe Serendipity was based on 2.3.4 as well but don't quote me on that its been a long time.

Is there an recent ICS Rom with touchwiz that has the contacts tab in the dialer or do i have to keep using a dial app to replace the stock dialer.
Ive noticed that either the samsung or the leaked roms that appear seem to fix bugs but not the obvious missing functions! Does any one know if there is going to be a fix?

Try XXLPW:
There is a battery % in notification bar in LPW ROM, by default disabled. Have to enabled by display settings.
LPW also have the 4th tab of contacts like GB in logs. Maybe that's what you want.

VK rom 5,1 is what u need
Hi all! now i understand that threads debating the 'Best' ROM, theme, app, mod or setting arent something XDA is fond of, but thats not the particular reason I'm here, I've looked through countless threads in the mod/theme section and I'm wondering if someone can help me find the best solution for me. I'm relatively technically minded and a half-decent IT worker but I will openly admit when it comes to development/flashing, I'm one to follow instructions to the letter to get what I need up and working, but never learn the deeper workings.
I've an unbranded i9300 which I've had flashed with CM 10/10.1 and have kept updating with nightlies, but now I seek to branch out and find a ROM that will allow me the super-stability, additional working features (Allshare Cast [in particular], NFC, multi-view) of the stock Samsung image. I've since flashed philz custom touch recovery, and then proceeded to flash Sotmax Jelly Bean Ultimate Stock V10 available here. Its provided all the features I want, working, a good kernel and some customizability but the cartoony, colourful Samsung visuals are the reason I flashed from stock in the first place.
Can anyone help me find anything I can add to my device to get me a stock 4.1.2 lock screen, dropdown/notifications, launcher and settings? Essentially as much of the UI from CM10.1 as possible. I flashed Domination 1.4.3 as it looked and seemed perfect - but didn't change the lockscreen, and i started noticing lots of lag when scrolling/opening apps instantly. Is it thoroughly incompatible with the ROM im looking to use, or have i done something wrong along the way?
If this is a noob thread i do apologize but these forums can be so cluttered and misorganized to someone unused to searching through them that it can be hard to find something - if you dont know exactly what it is you need.

So you want some features from Samsung stock rom (camera, NFC, default framework and drivers), but the look of original 4.1.2 (CM10)?
I want this too!

Thank you, i'll be checking those two out!
Ive since found the Null ROM here and it also seems to be exactly what we want/need from scratch, a mix of 4.1.2, Samsung Features, and a CM/AOKP look and feel. Still missing that lock screen though. Holo locker is the look that i desire - but it seems to lag when switching on, the normal homescreen displays for up to a second before it reverts to the lock. odd..
I use UltimaRom for same reason.
I wanted to use some of samsung apps but with look and feel of CM10.
And UltimaRom provides that. It also let me choose which samsung I want to keep and which I want to get rid of to keep my phone faster.
Ultima looks excellent! Thanks for the recommendation, nice boot loaders too and excellent file/mod support on his site
