I'm probably an idiot for not being able to find this, but what is the difference in stratosphere and mesosphere. I assumed one was an earlier build than the other, but I've seen a few posts that made me think that is not the case.
SGH-i717 mesosphere
Mesosphere is the newest update

Stratosphere is based on a Samsung touch wiz ics leak.
Mesosphere is based off of cm9, which is aosp, not touch wiz, a close to pure Android, the way google made it.

Is CM7 the closest to AOSP that the SGS2 can get?
That's probably a safe bet. All the other ROMs here (excluding miui) are based on a Samsung build for this phone or the i9100.
For all its likeness to the Nexus S, the captivate never saw a AOSP ROM.
There is a ICS port coming along that is not Samsung built, but its far from usable, and may just be the prelude to CM9.

Right now yes. However once you have cm you can usually get aosp.

Greetings,
I don't have the Galaxy Note (yet), but before I pick one up, I've got a few questions about the available ROMS.
1. Which ROM floating around out there is closest to Stock ICS? (I'd be coming from a Galaxy Nexus.)
2. Are there any ROMS that get rid of all the Samsung Custom Apps? Not just TouchWiz, I'll get rid of that with ADWLauncher, but all the customizations that Samsung has done to Messenger, Calendar, etc.
I'm eager to get the Note, but I want to make sure it's easily "De-Samsung-ified" first.
Thanks!

Thanks, That does look good, but I'm a bit apprehensive when I see Beta in the title. Is this what you're using? Can you post screenshots of the Messenging and Calendar apps? The Samsung customizations of those really bother me. I know it's nitpicking, I'm a bit anal with my devices...
It comes shipped with the Samsung apps, there is an aosp app ad on within the roms ota feature.
There isn't a true aosp ROM for the note... Yet.
Thanks @studacris @briand.mooreg for the suggestion. Are there any others, I'm looking for a stable, non-beta ROM to use at first, but once I get confortable with the device, I'll play around with it more.
It's only a beta by name alone. because we, the collective, have much more in store for it.
It's stable as a table.
Once we get official ICS, devs are gonna go ALL out on the ROMs. :thumbup:
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
I think until we get source for ICS, any ROM you see available will claim to be an Alpha or a Beta (at developer's decision).
The reality of the situation is that all of the i717 ICS ROMS are based on a leaked ICS build, not something official.

When the source comes out, will it be posted online like Google posts the images for the Nexus devices? I ask because I'm just looking for as Pure an ICS experience as I can get.
I don't even have the Note yet, but I flashed my Galaxy Nexus to AOSP ICS tonight and I'm a bit eager to dive into Android experimenting and maybe eventually cooking up a ROM myself.
Thanks.
try out dagr8s rom its pretty awesome def with the tablet mod
Dude thuer all beta or alpha we have no source codes to make a rc ics rom yet but its coming don't worry and most ics roms out right now are very stable and very nice don't be afraid lol go buy a note and Ice it out

Hi,
coming from HTC Sensation we had a rom where devs took the HTC ICS base - removed (almost) all HTC Sense parts and replaced them with stock AOSP. The result was a very stable rom that looked,felt and behaved like AOSP without the need for devs to manually fix drivers and other issues.
My question is: Is this possible on Samsung roms? Remove TW and replace (almost) completely with AOSP counterparts? I don't just mean theming the rom, but basically turning stock Samsung into (almost) AOSP/Google.
Sorry if this question has been asked (probably) years ago - just wondering.
HyperGalaxy is probably what your looking for much like hypersensation & VI on sensation, thinks it's just changed to the latest OTA jellybean as base.
Keep meaning to try it but have got fond of paranoid rom & cm10 features and haven't had the time.

exactly, VI was my Sensation rom. I'd love something like that. Will look into HyperGalaxy. Thanks.
if you would go to the dev section and read the rom names you will find the answer to your question.. All the roms that are AOSP have AOSP written in their names. like the supernexus rom, hypergalaxy, liquid jellybean, and all the other AOSP roms. there are also AOKP, CM9/X, and PA roms for this phone...you can find all of them in the dev sections
thanks for asking this. i too came from the sensation and was on Hypernonsense. will check out hypergalaxy

Well, too bad, it seems like latest 1.0.2 version includes touchwiz now . I may still try it.
U realize that touchwiz is much more than a launcher? If u want to replace launcher just download another one from market and use it

any ROM that is AOSP-themed like hypersensation for the S3? HyperGalaxy is not, still using stock theme. CodecROM's theme is only half-AOSP and it looks fugly
For a completely AOSP ROM try SuperNexus. Its brilliant.

I'd love aosp. Waiting for mem leak fix first though. That's why I asked about something with Samsung base.
** 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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Yes. This is the information I was looking for.. Do you think that any of these roms thas comming out will have pieces of sg4 on it like the ultimate rom for n7000

Hi everyone,
I switched to the DNA a little while ago and I'm very impressed with how aosp development kicked off since chad made fantastic progress in CM10.1.
Coming from gnex and gs3, we had the "eclipse" Rom that I loved so much.
In the gs3 Rom, the dev used touchwiz base and ported the Aosp look and goodness.
So the outcome was an error free Rom that resembled aosp but was very very stable.
My question/request perhaps, is it possible to do the same with the DNA?
Kindly,
Ron

It's not quite as simple with HTC devices... Touchwiz is a lot closer to aosp than sense is. Look through android development for "de-sensed" ROMs. I believe there was an aosp theme for hatka as an add-on for the de-sensed version.
Sent from my DNA using Tapatalk 2
There are plenty of desensed roms. And that sounds kinda like what your looking for.
