[Q] Galaxy tab 10.1/8.9 ICS

Hey guys, I've been looking into getting either the G-tab 10.1 or 8.9 flashing the latest ICS roms. My question is, do you think I should wait until Samsung releases the ICS source code or go ahead and bite the bullet? I'm well aware that no rom is stable and each will have their bugs, but it seems you either get a decent experience where you have some problems or the rom just sucks. I have a touchpad and ICS it's great, not to many major issues. Has anyone got their G-tab running ICS with no major issues? Wifi working, no FC's, HD youtube, minimal screen flickering/rotation issues, etc... I know it's asking for alot, but i'm confused how my HP can work so well with android being ported over, and the G-tab experience be so crappy and it has android baked in.

Differences between Sammy roms and AOSP roms

Hi Guys, sorry if it has been asked before, but i searched and couldn't find an answer i was looking for.
I want to try the new AOSP 4.1.1 jelly bean rom on my GS3 but don't want to loose any of the features that the GS3 is known for. for me the camera i cannot loose because i must take around 200 photos a day. I used to run paranoid android on my GS2 and i loved what it had to offer so i am familiar with that type of rom, i tried that rom on my GS3 when i got it and was dissapointed to find out that none of the GS3 features were available.
The answer i am seeking really, is that im probably going to loose certain features like camera etc, am i likely able to install the sammy camera onto the AOSP installed rom to keep the features i use all the time?
im guessing im probably better off waiting for an official update?!?!
cheers in advance guys.
Hi,
You won't have the sammy camera on aosp roms and as far as I know it is not available since its based on touchwiz..
If you just want the aosp look then I would install a different launcher like apex launcher.

AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project and their SDK are backbone for all other Android firmware. Samsung firmware have proprietary software that will not be included. Just install a different rom that retain the Samsung apps.
But we could "fill" the gaps with some other software. For example, Moboplayer now is able to "float" a video around while you are reading twitter.
For those of us who want Samsung's features without Touchwiz thread like this could help.

Yes, but he is especially referring to the camera app, which you will not have on an aosp rom

Ok. It could be useful if he tell us what are the features he miss from Samsung camera app.
For example, burst mode.... Camera Zoom FX has burst mode, voice control.... I speak about Camera Zoom, just because i have it
Hi, thanks for you replies guys, i tried the latest paranoid android jelly bean version, ( purely because ive used it before on galaxy s2) and love everything about it apart from the slow camera. I was hoping that the camera would be better on this rom but its still slow, ( i take pictures of my 2 year old son and he moves too quickly so his face is always blurred) so i think i will have to revert back to the official sammy rom.
does anyone know of a way to port the camera app from the sammy based roms?
also if i do go back to the sammy rom, does anyone know if i can install the aosp version of exchange mail?
The sammy version looks so ugly and I kinda got used to the AOSP version when running that on gs2, the sammy one is too dark.
anyway, Ill probably just wait for the official update and see how that goes. I just like certain features from both versions of android. shame i cannot have a multiboot option.lol
cheers.
Paul.

[Q] Paranoid Android vs Omega Jellybean?

First of all, let me apologize if this has been asked before. I did numerous searches but could not find any relevant information.
I'm currently on an Omega Jellybean Rom but I'm quite unsatisfied with the experience I'm getting from my phone. Samsung Dialer/Contacts and Messenger are slow to open and it doesnt really quite feel like a phone running Jellybean (yes ive tried alternative apps such as exdialer with the missed call patch).
I recall the JB experience i got from my galaxy i9003 (crappy asian galaxy S) which was a lot more enjoyable/smoother than what im getting now on the S3. Therefore the plan to switch to PA
Now the question is, aside from the issues mentioned on the PA thread (camera getting stuck when taking pics w/ front cam, no FM out, no TV out) are there any other issues or things that I'll be trading off by switching to PA?
Can I get a general consensus regarding PA vs sammy roms? Advantages/Disadvantages? Looking forward to your input

I'd suggest you give Viking Rom a try, I'm a fan of trim Roms and Vikings weighs in a 425 meg, is super smooth and battery life is outstanding.
Viking is a JB rom. I have never experienced any of the issues you mention with the ROM.

I am a big fan of Paranoid Android, always used their ROM, but recently changed to Omega due to Dualboot compatibility, and to be honest, it is a lot more stable than other ROMs I have found.
Omega v2.0 is awsome with the aosp/aokp UI style and Omega v29 is the standard Android UI. Worth doing a Dual Boot with the both of them.

CM 10 RAY Nightly question

So, I am looking for stock ICS alternatives on my Ray and I am interested in CM 10. I dont want this to be a comparing theme, I would simply like to hear from anyone with experience on how are things on the current FXP 200+ builds (I pressume those are CM builds).
I am mostly interested in camera quality, recording and smoothness
I checked the development topic but people are pretty specific there.
If anyone could give me a small overview about CM10 on Ray, Id be super grateful
Cheers!
Sir, the OP of these ROMs are best to review/read...some homework will be required from your end. And any overview given from others, might help but really you will have install, run and test for yourself.
If you are looking for camera quality and recording...
You better switch to CM9 or CM7.
In CM10 camera is still under development coz of unavailable camera libs from sony.
Thanks to both!
Heard that CM10 camera isnt half operational before but users who dont experience problems usually dont post everything works great... So its good to get all kinds of feedback. If anyone wants to chip in, Id still appreciate

[Q] CM 10.1 camrea issue

I found that stock rom takes better photos then cm 10.1.
Anyone knows a way to fix it?
In stock rom photos are crystal clear and in CM 10.1 they are in many cases looks like taken in high iso and do not look clear (when shooting indoors).
hey there man
it's a known issue because Samsung refuses to release their source code.
there isn't really a fix for this but you may try a different camera app that may produce a better results.
