Hi,
I am looking for a ROM which will allow me to :
1. Decent battery life- performance not a problem. So no OC
2. AOSP lock screen (sliding)
3. Samsung browser (only because I like my 'clickable' phone numbers, and i found stock browser wont do it for me.. only the samsung)
4. I dont like all those fancy icons (i.e. on the notification drawer) i prefer stock standard.
is this possible? or am I asking for too much?

Hi All,
I am currently running CM9. But, am facing a few issues. So, was thinking of going back to stock ROM for a while. I love the AOSP look and love the CM9 dialer.
Almost all the stock based themed ROM's are having a themed stock dialer.
[ which doesn't even have contacts list inside, it is very annoying !! ]..
Some ROM's, I see are having AOSP dialler, but it doesn't have the CM9 functionalities, in particular Smart T9 dialler.
In addition, the stock call animation is present. [v.v.ugly].
The AOSP / CM9 call animation is so much better.
Sorry, if this feels as if I am hating on touchwiz, but take this as my opinion and not a fact. [ I love some touchwiz features, which I am not getting in CM9].
I know that earlier the Resurrection ROM was having CM9 dialer, but westcrip seems to have moved on to AOKP ..
So, please help me find out any ICS themed stock ROM, with CM9 dialer like functionality.
this is not a ROM suggestion but...
You can try an app called exDialer and download the ICS theme for it. It looks a lot like the CM9 dialer and has the T9 dialer.

Thanks for the suggestion. But, I prefer using the stock one instead of third party applications. [ Have seen that the stock application , keeps on using the memory, under the system application, and I understand that it is a bigger problem on my older phone, SGS, which had .v.little memory. ]
But still would prefer the stock.
I liked the phone dialer screen from my GB Rom because it had 4 tabs across the top rather than the 3 which is has now. It no longer has "Contacts" as a tab at the top.
Therefore, could I install a phone.apk from the GB rom and install it on an ICS stock rom ? I suppose, is it the phone.apk file that controls this or is it some other one ?

I don't think a GB phone.apk will work on ICS.
Good news though: in the new firmware that came out today (LPW), Samsung has added that 4th tab back again. It will just be a matter of time before there are custom ROMs based on it.
Wow, what a timely question !!
Seems bizarre that they ever removed it. It's not as if it took up any more space.
Thanks for the info.

Yes its back but its annoying.... When you go into contacts, its a separate menu now so you have to use back key to get beck to dialer.
Hi all !
I have been using many different custom jellybean rome over the last month or so and have realised that they all have a noticable lag when you try to open the dialler or contacts from the home page especially for the 1st time or after you open the task manager and kill all running apps.
Does anyone have a explanation or fix for this as its really frustrating me and looks bad when someone wants you to add there number into your phone and see how slow it is to do so ....
Some of the roms i have used are : Criskelo, Dragon, Omega, Turkbey, Wanam lite to name a few.
Look forward to your feedback !

its normal! but if it bothers you that much, try any AOSP or AOKP rom.. they're fast! none of the AOSP or AOKP roms have this issue..

Thanks for your reply but what are these AOSP or AOKP roms & what does the abbreviation stand ?
Android open source project & android open kang project.
AOSP is the 'rom' originally released by google.
AOKP is a rom based on AOSP but with some additions.
Many thanks to both your replies !
So there is no fix for this lag in the normal jelly bean roms?

Does anybody know how to set dialer (secphone) and contacts as cached background processes starting on boot?
Can't stand those lags anymore on JB.
Thanks

Exactly the same for me. The dialer, call log and favourites contacts performance is a pain in the... I can't understand how a firmware is realesed where one of the most important apk is not working properly. My solution has been exdialer (which is working flawlessly).
sometimes I think, this is the difference between Samsung and Apple products (I hate to admit that)

Yes, ex dialer, nova launcher. ... did i buy galaxy s3 or some zte blade? !?!
Does anyone have the solution for this? Now I'm on 4.1.2, and the lag is still there, I can't believe , didn't anybody complain about it? Samsung doesn't have an answer for that? Is it impossible to make a fix?

it is because contacts & dialer are not kept in memory. There is a big thread in the General section about it already. Solution till now as I understood: use for instance exDialer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1807819
+ 'Whitelist 'Dialer/Contacts' on/off toggle (make sure Contacts stay in memory.. removes the lag!)

Exactly the same here. Even stock jb has this Lag. Such a fix will be a huge improvement.
i just tried deluxe settings but it doesnt seems for me to do the trick. i am on omega v37.
AHAHAHAHA The wonderful android on quad core cpu

it has nothing to do with quad core ...
if u install cm 10.1 it opens instant too. its just the bad software that runs on the quad core. and u think the phone boosts up all cores just for opening dialer? play heavy games on both device than u got the true power of that phone
I had a rom installed on my Tab which allowed it to run multiple apps at the same time in a kind of split screen mode. (up to 3 apps if i remember correctly). I want to install this rom but totally forgot its name and can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know the name of this rom/mod?
I don't want to hear answers like "Use overskreen"... It was true multitasking with every app supported.

Are you talking about running multiple apps side by side? There aren't any ROMs for ICS or JB that I am aware of that permit this function. I know the new Galaxy Tab Note 10.1 has this functionality and it looks wicked cool!
On the factory-based ROMs for ICS you can use widgets from the Navigation Bar that will overlay email, calendar and notes widgets on top of the app that you are in, but I'm guessing you are talking about something else.

Yes, there really was a ROM which allowes running 3 apps side by side but I don't rember if it was Gingerbread or ICS. I think it was a AOKP based ROM. I had it installed on my tablet and it worked.
Found it. It's name is Onskreen Cornerstone. And the ROM I tested was AOKP based. I think it was a build by Roman the AOKP guy.(http://onskreen.com/cornerstone/index.php)
But I sill haven't found the ROM again.
