Hi,
Is there a ROM replacement for the Galaxy S 5.0 WiFi (YP-G70CW) European model that allows me to still run some of the custom Samsung Apps (in particular Samsung's remote for Samsung TVs and Samsung Smart View) _AND_ allow hardware acceleration of video so that it can be used as a media-player tablet without all the other Samsung bloatware? I assume hardware acceleration is a must to watch 720p HD-content?
Thanks in advance.

Try this custom rom or this stock based rom. They are both very stable and I believe they allow the use of samsung apps and 720p HD content
I try all and i use chip rom ..looks beautiful..everything works..youtube plays in 720p..no single problem with this rom
GenericGinger is good. He is updating it to 2.3.6 so the link to his rom is down. I like this rom because it had a Beats Audio mod which made the sound quality better.

Yes it is, it is included with the latest european 3G device update KI1.
You can find the apk there > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17602427&postcount=48
There have been some reports that the apk alone wont work correctly on other firmware, but you can give it a try.
does not work

Does not work on Sgt 10.1 uk
I am able to use the KI1 allshare on KME.
The only thing that seems not to work that did while running KI1 ROM is video streaming to the tablet.
Things tested:
Music streaming to tablet from computer - works
Videos streaming from tablet that were recorded by camera to computer - works
Streaming avi from computer to tablet - crashes (force close)
i can stream.avi with no problem thou.. I think depends on the Codec.. On ki1 I have problems playing some videos that were smooth on stock ROM..
Hello all and Happy Thanksgiving. On Friday I am going to pick up a Samsung Galaxy S II. I am looking to root is and flash the UnNamed ROM. I have heard that flashing custom ROM's means that GPU acceleration no longer will work. Is this true and are there any ROM's that allow for it to work? Thank you!
Gpu acceleration as far as videos or in general? Samsung does have proprietary codecs to support wmv, avi, etc, that will not work on non Samsung roms, but there are third party apps to help remedy media playing, but they are not perfect.
As far as the GUI and 3d graphics are concerned though, I can assure you that gpu acceleration still works.

Thank you!
If you pay for Dice Player you can play every file the stock player can play and more.
well there is one more caveat... samsung uses gpu acceleration on their launcher to make it buttery smooth... you cant get that on other launchers. but at the same time other launchers aren't as heavy as the sock one. generally i like what Samsung does, they think things through very well.

Diceplayer does have some nice support, however, it does not perform as well as stock when it comes to high profile wmv's and avi's. They still play choppy on any non-samsung roms in my experience, whereas on sammy roms they play super smooth.

What about ROM's that are based on the original/stock ROM, but modified (such as Unnamed)? I'd think that these would retain all the benifits of the stock ROM as long as those specific components aren't removed/replaced. Other than CM7, most seem to be in that category.

You are correct. Roms that are based on stock still have the enhanced gpu support for videos. I suppose I was not being very clear in this regard. Not all custom roms are based on outside sources.
For example, I am using unnamed 1.3.1, which is based on stock and I can still play my high profile wmv 's fine. When I load up any of the miui roms or cm7 roms, however, I lose the enhanced support. Make sense?

I'm a big fan of CM and other non-Samsung versions of Android. In the past, there has been no real reason to keep Samsung based ROMs. But with the S3, the stock camera app seems so much better than everything else, this is a problem.
Are there any ways of running the stock camera app in CM at the moment?
OR
Are there any alternative camera apps that can do the kind of continuous speed shooting (20 exposures etc.) that the Samsung stock app can do?

I would recommend using hx camera mod. I can say that it 's the best camera app so far especially when recording a video at 30Mbit - 1080p superfine. Try to look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691145 or http://hx-custom-roms.com/galaxy-s3-camera-mod

Thanks. I think this will only work on stock roms though as it is Samsung framework dependant. What I really want is something that will allow me to leave Samsung roms and move to for example Cyanogen mod, but keep the additional functionality found in the Samsung camera app.

Samsung apps does not work on AOSP ROMs. You will have to use alternatives.

Do not tell, because why? And maybe there is some sort of video player animated preview app-like video list?
There are ups and downs to different types of roms.
TouchWiz: Laggy(yds), features u will miss when gg to aosp etc, camera, the apps by samsung
Aosp etc: Poor camera quality, the stock music player app is not good, however very fast and snappy, no lag at all.

on the lg p990 forum we had the same problems with cyano.
Someone ported part of the lg framework on AOSP and we were able to use the official lg's camera (extracted from ICS) on cm10, instead of the crappy aosp one.
No way we can do something similar with i9300?
sorry, but it's not about the pros cyanide, about samsung apps, frameworks and TouchWiz also have ports, so why not to port these two applications?
Hi,
I have one problem with AOSP roms and I consider this as the biggest one.
I have a Galaxy S3 I9300 running Stock 4.3 deodexed, zipaligned etc.
Now with this ROM I am able to play almost all types of video files...Why is this not possible with AOSP roms?
I have always seen people installing different types of Apps (MX Player, VLC Player etc. etc..) to get all the videos playing...
But TouchWiz plays almost all types of videos out of the box...As of now I don't have any third party video player installed on my phone...
I am a big fan of CM, but refrain from installing it just because of this one reason!
Can someone please explain this to me...would be great !!
And please correct me if i am wrong...
Thanks.
Touchwiz is a hugely bloated layer on top of Android, everything works so even beginners have a good experience. AOSP starts with just Android, then you add the parts you want -if you want video then add it. AOSP on a Samsung device isn't ideal for new users

Thanks for the answer but that's exactly what i want to know...
How can i enable support for all types of video files without installing numerous video players?
Are there any codecs which when installed on AOSP will do the magic??
Thanks
Some codecs aren't included in AOSP as they are not free. Same reason AOSP does not include gapps.
