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:

Make sure to download the cracked s-Voice and floating video player .apk files from 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.

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.
[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.]
Try wiping cache and dalvik cache in cwm because never had a fc yet.
Hi guys if you read the portal (http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-now-with-voice-search-finally-working-on-ics/) GoogleNow works great on ics and i have put together a nice flash able zip to get the job done Here. I take no credit for the actual application (Done by the guys Here) I just put a flashable zip together.
Instructions:
1. Delete GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk from /system/app
2. Flash Zip
3. Enjoy
Thanks Double0EK

I did exactly what the directions said...just copy ALL folders from the blastoid zip without unzipping any of it and paste it all to energyrom zip and flash like a normal Rom. Should work flawlessly. If any issues fix permissions.

It's integrated into your Google search now. Press the google search button and it should have replaced the normal google search...
So I must install the old version first? I press search button but nothing changes.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
So with the voice search working Google Now should be the same as on JB devices? Meaning it should have the colourful background?
I had installed it previously with these instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749045) and then updated with the zip made by the OP. Worked well and looked just like the Google Now on my Nexus 7 (colourful background).
But then I updated my Energy rom version and google now was wiped. Tried to follow the same steps again and I can't replicate the colourful background! it's just the white background. Any ideas?

An easier way, kinda, to install is to ... First, rename OR remove the GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk. Then flash .zip created by sportstar89. Confirmed working 100%
Edit: Confirmed working only 98% back button still not backing out of app.
Edit: This Guy created a list of various commands you can give to GNow.
Here is a guide to install the samsung apps that you want to your phone.
This isn't everything. Just the ones that were not included with Scotts CleanRom. I need a dev or others to help me get other APK's like for camera and dialer.... things that were already installed on clean rom. - but this should work for some others.
I am no developer, just a flashaholic. if someone can go through these and help me pick out the ones that are "needed" and add others, it would be very much appreciated.
This works with adding SOME other apk's as well
1. Download the zip - HERE
2. Extract the zip
3. All Samsung Apps -> System -> App
4. Delete the apk's you don't want
5. Archive the Meta-inf and System folders
6. Reboot and flash the new zip
7. GOLD!!!!
8. help a dev and donate to them or at least THANK Them

wait a sec. am I reading this right? I thought it was impossible to put samsung apps on AOSP because of the TW framework.
Does this mean we'll be able to use samsung's camera on the google edition ROM (once OP gets the APK)?

The Google edition firmware is not AOSP, it is, for lack of a better description, TW firmware without any of the TW visual frameworks or assets. In this sense, think of TW as Samsung's compiled android code, not a UI.

This is kind of what we've been clamoring for for a long time, yes: optimized Samsung kernel/code, AOSP app/visual framework. It still doesn't quite solve the timely updates issue, as so much of that is muddled by OEM testing, and especially in this country carrier testing, but it's a step in the right direction, because the amount of app/framework development for a newer version is cut down by only having Google apps.

Hi, what about the samsung audio recorder app? thats really useful for my school studies!!
In an attempt to make all of our lives easier I have been working on a generic and customizable aroma installer.
There's a lot of really great things you can do with this. Not only can you set it to flash roms, but you can unistall just about anything, run commands and much much more.
It does take some basic knowledge of programming. Lots of if then else endif statements.
So you should have a good working knowledge of basic programming.
Aroma XDA thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461712
I would like to thank @amarullz and any others that help him for such an innovative programming tool!
Good luck!

Tutorial
This is going to be some helpfull information on what to do with the zip file once you have it
Before you start,
Downloads
Generic Amaze aroma installer http://tinyw.in/BL8m
winrar http://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0 I use this a lot and it's free (until the trial runs out, then you have to click the buy it box closed of just shell out a few bucks and get the license)
Notepad++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org this is a text editor and I use it frequently! and it's FREE!!
That's all you need to download for now...
You should also make a copy of the generic.zip file and modify the copy and save the original.
The major folders all have a readme.txt file in them with directions/info as to what to put there.
I do recommend studying the aroma-config and updater-script files.
These two files interact with each other and files that the aroma-config file creates.
There are a few other files like changelog.txt and agreement.txt that you can edit with a text editor.
Splash Screens / Banners
Find a nice picture (.png file) that you want to use for a Slash screen/banner (I'm not sure what the limitations are for this)
Splash screen/ Banners look really good when they are semi transparent and have no background.
The ones in the venom roms really look cool.
