Is there a ics rom that gives me the s3 experience. Basically a 4.0 stock rom that would come on the s3
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA
no but there is a lot of addons out there you can slap on a sammy or AOSP rom.
there sure is.
you can buy an S3
OR
you could hang out in the dev and themes/apps areas and learn....maybe one will pop up
Maybe reading might be beneficial
What a magical idea

I agree with the "reading" concept. Read up on what values you are looking for.
It can help you decide what you want to decide on. )
You should check out Shishir's updated ICS rom. Nearly a carbon copy of stock S3 with working apps like s-voice and flipboard plus with his own add ons. Really nice rom if I do say so myself so that's your best bet

you thought they wouldnt infect it with touchwiz? lol where have you been
(assuming this is true) as much a visual difference is slightly disappointing, a guts upgrade to ICS is really what matters most. I'll take a normal UI that operates faster than a fancy UI any day.
I like how the one ****ty leaked Rom that was posted gives them the basis to write this article.
Correction, no ICS interface for non-rooted stock phones.

personally, I dont care too much for a couple of reasons. 1. I actually liked Touchwiz (at least 4.0+) and 2. I wasn't going to be running stock anyway, so if I really need that ICS interface, CM9 will 90% sure be on our phones. And, at least we're (by that I mean the Galaxy S 2) getting the update. Look at the Captivate for example
Most of us won't bother with stock samsung UI so it won't matter. CM9/MIUI V4 is in my future.
Non-issue article. Move along.
Touchwiz 4.0 on Android 2.3: Looks great!
Touchwiz 4.0 on Android 4.0: Dear god that looks ugly.
Since when did people start believing that if we got ICS that it was going to AOSP? We didn't get AOSP gingerbread.....its why all firmware releases are delayed. It gives manufacturers time to put on their UI......not to mention AOSP ICS is the corniest looking POS I have ever seen......the icons are way oversized.....the corny folder crap we have had on GO for a year. I am so glad to see TW covering up that abomination. Give me the guts to optimize my dual core and get the rest the hell outa here.

I disagree, touchwiz covers up the best parts about ICS, it went well with touchwiz 4 on gingerbread because it looks better than stock gingerbread. Stock ICS IMO is way ahead of anything else on the market
The article is referring to the leaked roms on the I9100 there is still time for Samsung to wrap ICS up in a newer/revamped TW UI.

Kind of disappointing but cm9 will fix that quite nicely. Not to say I'm at all surprised.

I actually dont care either way the looks can be changed easily for both rooted and non rooted people. Honestly after having ICS'd out on my phone for a daily driver for a good while I switched to MIUI because the color combo of ICS gets old quick
doesnt bother me, i love touchwiz and i just wanted ICS underhood features... this is GREAT news for me... looks perfect, i would miss it if it was removed... i dont think ICS looks all that amazing IMO
I'm positive we'll get a good version of ICS whether it be official or from a DEV what difference does it really make?
not much it will be here within the next three months either way

Well put!! Just one more reason for me to root!!
Hey guys!
I just received my Galaxy Note from AT&T (previously a T-Mobile G2 user), and am wondering about custom ROMs.
I used a MIUI ROM on my G2 with T-Mobile, but am more interested in ICS and the international capabilities of the Note (Premium suite, apps, etc). Do we not get those apps?
Are there any custom ROMs you guys would recommend for a new user?
Thanks!

This is the most stock ICS (an a good solid ROM to start with):

This is the best (IMHO) of the ICS ROMs. It's due for an update very shortly - but it's the only one to really take advantage of the capability of ICS to handle tablet mode:

There's no reason to say anything bad about anyone's rom. If you like apps rom, then say just that. Theres no reason to point out what you think is horrible scrolling. They're both excellent roms and both are very smooth. Go to the threads and read up. Or better yet, try them and see what fits your needs the best.

I understand. I'm not new to ROMs, but I find it easier to ask for opinions than to try flashing endless ROMs. I'm having a hard time believing rooting and all is even worth it. But I'm hoping some of you veteran Note users' will provide me with a little more incentive to flash or keep stock.
I'm sure he meant no disrespect to the developers, and hopefully they take no offense.

If you're a fan of baredone then try cm9 or aokp. They are amazingly fast and surprisingly stable.

Your choice but my opinion is as follows. You have a great device with capabilities far beyond those which it was sold with(GB), so you could stay with your awesome device and never know its "full" potential. Adversely, you could unleash the beast with a little research and gumption... Think portable wireless hotspots and ease of use modifications and custom works allowing you to customize your device. With stock gb it generally takes 2 to 4 more steps to achieve the same goal in custom GB. Same with ICS... These are my opinions and individual experience may vary... Ultimately its up to you how excited about your device you get, and how much research you do to ensure a great experience.

Yeah I ended up trying a few, and nothing seemed stable enough. We won't have to wait too much longer for ICS and premium suite I am sure!
I say if you're fine with GB go with unofficial rom. Best laid out in my opinion and with holokernel incredibly fast and smooth. For ics I say forget about your s pen and try cm9. I missed notes at the beginning but with how fluid everything is and problem free of a build this is I try not to think of that plastic pen jammed into my phone and just enjoy ics for what it is and what it should be on any android phone without all the little touches manufacturers throw in trying to make their phone a special snowflake in an industry of special individual snowflakes. Just my two cents anyhow

Hi All
I have a UK Galaxy S3 and would like to root and install a clean Vanilla ICS ROM.
Please can someone advise on best method of roooting and which ROM to use?
I'm being cautious as I don't want to brick my phone.
Many thanks in advance.
Do you mean Non-Touchwiz? Because I'm yet to find one that is like that.
I'm also on the look out for a Touchwiz ROM that's been themed to be blue and black like the ICS colours
Yes non touch wiz please as I hate it. Why do these stupid manufacturers spend so much money and resource to create something that is pointless. ICS already has everything anybody could want from a launcher.
I installed cm9 on my S2 and it was epic, I guess cm9 isn't out for the S3 yet?
Thanks
Perhaps you could have a look on the Android and Original Android Development Threads?
I use Omega ROM 9.1
Great and close to stock...

MY problem with using non-Sammy ROM's is a lot of features get lost. I'm after a ROM/theme that's truely ICS themed but totally black and blue like most of the apps. Sammy are just teasing me, because even in stuff like the RAM and Task manager it's blue and black ICS themed but they have this ugly light blue and green battery stuff going on
What sort of features Kryten?

Well for instance in the CM9 ROM it looks like a lot of the camera features are gone. You just have dumb picks "SD, HD 720, HD1080" etc. I dunno. It was the same on my HTC Desire. I had Oxygen on there for the longest time and it was ok, but it didn't have the same functionality as the Sense ROM's (though it was much quicker and more stable which is why I kept it regardless. My GF uses it now and loves it).
I just want one that is touchwiz, but looks exactly like ICS:
This for instance:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730397
It's just not compatible with my ROM (and I never had any luck getting it on odex or deodex'd ROM's. There's an update due tomorrow!
Slim ics is built from aosp source with a few choice picks from cm9 and aokp, fast smooth, and good battery, but if you want vanilla ics then you need to buy a nexus

I bought my father the note (he had the s2 before) a fee weeks ago. I had installed aokp on his s2 before but when now, I installed black star which has all the stock touch wiz features that me and my dad remember from when we first got our phones. I want him to run the aokp jb ROM but he loves that ROM too much (but its too laggy)
I was able to install one of those touchwiz themes... but that's not what I'm looking for I'm looking for the specific apps especially the phone. Sammy really did a great job with the phone. I'd love the built in task manager but that's probably too much to ask for.. any idea his I can get the touchwiz apps on a aokp rom? Phone, messaging.. music maybe..
Thanks a million
They don't work on aokp roms. Must be a touchwiz based rom. There are replacements for the apps such as gnote for smemo or memo beta from the play store.
As for black star being laggy I think you should check how you flashed and be sure you followed the proper flashing procedures in the OP of that thread. It is a very good rom. It runs fast for me and many others.

Some how a dev in the N7000 thread has managed to put snote premium suite on his miui rom so maybe in the future we will have it for other TW phones like the i717.

I figured it was only a matter of time before someone figured out how to put the s-pen apps on non TW roms. I woukd think that would make them more appealing to many other people that stick with stock because of the apps.

** meant to say ROMs and not mods in the title
Hello,
I am one of the few that actually like touchwiz but i also like being able to change roms so i was not really into a bunch of the roms i was trying out until i flashed the flappjaxxx UCLF6 rom. but i wanted to update and it looks like he has stopped working on that project. the rom in am on is IMM76D.UCLF6+FJMod-Build_12
The key parts to why i like this rom are the month view calendar shows text instead of just colored blocks like AOSP month view. and I do like a lot of the contact functionality like long press to send contact info via SMS (instead of a conatact book file) and contact book group messaging. I am assuming this is TouchWiz functionality.
anyway wanted to see if anyone had made a rom similar to the flappjaxxx one that wasn't just a themed or graphics wrapped version of the same rom.
thanks,
nate
Indeed, those are TouchWiz features.
Bigfau has black star
Nunhugger has novena
Both are TouchWiz based ics Roms.
Both offer added features while maintaining the features of TouchWiz.
both of those developers along with myself are on of the development team that flappjaxx is a part of as well.
Flapp is taking some time off developing to pursue his professional career.
And now you're in luck, AT&T just released a jellybean update of TouchWiz, Bigfau and nunhugger will be working to update black star to this new firmware.
Thanks! What rom do you endorse personally?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
I personally like novena, but I was running aosp builds of another of our team members Rom "gubment cheeze" then hopped onto novena to help out and test.
Black star was being developed at the same time as cheeze and at that time I wasn't wanting TouchWiz so I kinda passed that one by,
but as I said in my previous, that's being updated to the jelly bean TouchWiz firmware that was dropped Thursday. So that's what I'd be keeping my eyes on.
You rule, this is the exact information I was looking for
