[Q] change theme to sg3 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I make my phone look and feel like the SG3? i would like the svoice, and all the other features (NFC beam a possibility?... not sure about hardware wise).

You can use GO Launcher S3 theme or you can check Galaxy S II Themes and Apps section to flash a theme to your phone.
Also NFC beam is a hardware issue. And please check forum or just google it for S-Voice, you can easily find it.

is this it? anything free?

There is a rom that looks exactly like s3.
Eg
Boot anime
screen lock
UI
Calling.
S voice
If you want I'll upload it...

Yes, I was talking about this theme and also you have to install GO Launcher first. The othe choise it that you can flash a mod which Smando created. Here is the link.

I'd recommend the rom. It is more authentic.

anyone use this one?

If you have that phone, it looks OK. What you need to do is flash "root" file to your phone via ODIN. Just follow the steps. There are perfect guides for rooting phone. Just seach for them.

I highly doubt that. Stock ROMS dont contain the theme chooser or anything close to it. So Android Developers website is probably useless.
You might find the information you need here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527
But i guess you already have been there ?
I also have been looking for a guide of some sort.
i found this post related to CM9, Which is where i want to get started.

but i don't know if it is universal. meaning would that guide work on all AOSP roms.

*SGS3*UPDATED!*[ROM]ICS 4.0.3-SalmanRom.V4.2 [AUGUST/5]*i777*AWESOME

Here is a rom I ported that brings the SGS3 to your SGS2. The rom has most of the features of the new galaxy s3; it is best touchwiz-ICS based rom I found. I ported it with a UCDL5 modem and Siyah kernel. Also, I included NFC. The update has major improvements and makes you s2 into an actual s3. My dad has an s3, and this rom is almost identical to it. This developer is amazing, and he has moved to galaxys2root.com to share his updates.
Here is the flash-aholics tool thanks to ktoonez:

Also, all credit goes to the developer Ali Al-salman, who has now moved to galaxys2root.com to share his amazing updates. Also, see the link from a rom review from zedomax, who allowed the developer to share his rom on his site:

I will keep this updated with the developers thread.
yea that extras pack has some cool apps/features. I hellraised it the other day too its definitely worth to try out. Also to get svoice working I grabbed the one from our themes and apps section and it works perfectly. That touch live wallpaper is really slick and ofcourse the floating video app. Only thing is it kind of shows us we definitely need a bigger screen to really take advantage,but still very cool.

Really like the looks of this. However I have had way to many FC's on this and a few SOD. Going back to CM9.

For the rooting issue, download the root access zip and flash it. The extras are found once you click download salman rom on the develper's site and it is a zip file. Unzip it and copy the folder to your phone. Don't flash them; they are apk files, so just run all the apps.

Try wiping cache and dalvik cache in cwm because never had a fc yet.

DIFFERENT CAMERAs for i717

hi...i was wondering if there were any different camera apk's that i could flash on my i717 Note. i am currently on Jelly Beer 3.35. I'm looking something from a different device that maybe has different tools/options than the one on this ROM. i beleive the camera that it has is the ICS one. ive heard of people using camer apk's from Motorola, HTC One X and other devices but not sure how they did it. i didn a search but couldn't find anything for the Note i717. could someone please point me in the right direction......
Use a camera app from the market.
Read what kind of cameras and features are available for your note. Download the rom, unzip it, copy the camera apk. and any dependencies to your phone.

New ROM, missing a couple of APKs

Hi Guys
I've just installed a new super lite ROM which seems pretty much perfect EXCEPT i'm missing two features of Samsung's "bloat"ware that I really like:
Blocking Mode
Stay Awake
I've tried Googling and failed miserably to locate these so, can anyone tell me where i can get these please? (Yes I know there are alternatives but i'd like to stay with apps I am happy with and that work for me)

Of they are only apks & libs you could extract them from a stock Rom and put them into yours I guess.

What is the ROM based on?
Is it Sammy or an AOKP based ROM?
If it's Samsung Based, I could take a Titanium Backup of it and send it across to you.

Damn.... why is it the "perfect" ROM never exists. I've been flashing since windows 6.0 and NEVER found a ROM that's 100%
Guess I'll have to look for market place alternatives then.
Thanks for your help!

There is no single perfect rom for everyone.. Everyone is different and has different needs or "cravings"
Thats also why there's so many custom roms out there, to fit your needs (sometimes) If you cant find one, go with stock or learn to make your own.

might be tricky...
... considering it has a FHD screen and not HD like note 2. but who knows, maybe they're resolution adaptable. I would also be interested in the included media, like photos, music, videos that this ROM might contain.
Maybe it works

So far it doesnt look like anything will work, I imagine this is a combination of 4.3 firmware requirements and dpi issues.
Will look into other peoples attempts and see what i can find.
If its is the firmware then we won't see any of the apps for a while, until someone can mod them.
if its even possible.
