Hi All,
Sorry in advance if I have either posted this in the wrong forum or if this question has been asked many times before (I have searched the forum).
I just got a Samsung Galaxy S III on T-Mobile UK. Previously I had the Orange San Francisco with CyanogenMod, the Nexus 1 with CyanogenMod and an Archos 101G9 with stock ICS.
I rooted the device fine and then started to uninstall some apps which were pre-installed using the app removal tool within Titanium Backup. I then noticed that many of the stock android apps like calendar and email were not there. Instead, there is different email app and a calendar app called 'S Planner'.
I then installed the Omega Rom which had less apps which were pre-installed but I still had the problem were the basic google apps like email and calendar were still not there. I also noticed that the normal android sounds and keyboard were not part of this Rom.
I there a rom out there for my phone which is just basic android ICS? The less apps pre-installed, the better. Is CyanogenMod9 stable enough? The reason I like CyanogenMod is that they provide a list of the APKs which can safely be removed.
Thanks,
Dan
What about the blackstar aosp rom?

I have flashed cyanogen mod 9 on my sgs2. I love the rom. I know it's a weird question, but does anyone know where or how to install both samsung app store and samsung music hub? Are the apk's available from anywhere?
You can't on cm9, install the samsung ics rom if you want samsung apps.
Thank you for the info. Sacrificing those two things is well worth having cm9. I was thinking it was as simple as installing the apks - I assume it needs samsung framework to run
Hi all, so I've rooted by phone using the amazing one click script and have managed to unlock the phone using sgs unlock tool but sgs2 could not find my unlock code.
Before attempting this I backed up my EFS folder.
Its been a while since i've flashed anything (a few years ago on my old old htc hero, had a desire hd since that which I didn't feel the need to flash at the time) and Now I have my SGS2 which came locked on the orange UK network.
Not amazed with the colour scheme and much preferred the blue battery etc of the virgin simfree sgs2 I had previously lol. It appears to have lots of orange bloatware present on the ROM aswell as annoying boot animation which i'd like to remove.
I do quite like the signal boost app idea although not sure how well it works as not had chance to try it!
I've added Go Launcher and a nice ICS theme on there to play with and a HTC sense theme but not overly impressed with go launcher and it seems to stop my search button function from functioning for some reason. I've got plenty of apps installed and configured although one thing that has annoyed me is being able to remove googlemail and gtalk from the social hub program as having google account sync on, I get 2 notifications about my emails.
*#1234# has provided me with the following details if anyone can decipher it. I'm actually using a t-mobile network card at present.
PDA: I9100PBVKI3

Whats the latest best stock ROM in peoples opinions? How do I remove orange bloatware via adb and is it possible to modify the orange boot screen? Alternatively... so I just wipe and flash a new stock simfree rom to start with?
Just looked at ICS Domincation with Soulbound, the theme looks very nice... whats the overall opinion on the ROM from majority of people? Should I switch from the stock rom optins possibly? .
ICS is a leaked buggy test build it has not been released by Samsung .
You have KI3 firmware android 2.3.5
2.3.6 is the next step up .
Stock firmware .

I would recommend flashing hyperdroid (personal favorite) v5 final if you want to use ics domination.
Most themes won't work on odexed roms like the totally stock Samsung ones. You would need a deodexed custom rom.
To freeze bloatware or remove it I would use titanium backup or Gemini app manager (this also manages auto runs)
When installing a new rom you will need to wipe data, so use titanium backup to backup user app data and apps only, SMS backup+ to backup sms's and sync your contacts to Google.
Your internal and external SD cards won't be wiped but always backup stuff you can't afford to lose.

I am a newby in galaxy/android development / usage, so be easy on me
My Galaxy S2 currently runs CM7, Android 2.3.7.
I tried getting a new ROM by my own from these forums but it started crushing and wouldn't open any app so I restored back to CM7...
Would appreciate if anyone can link me or guide me through a stable release of ICS...
I have my apps backed up using Titanium Backup, as well as frequent backups using ROM Manager.
Thanks!
Alex

Hi there,
I am new posting on XDA, but an old android guy =P
I am flashing Ultima Rom v3 but I am getting FC on Voice search. I followed the troubleshooting on the thread, but was not able to fix.
As I love the pure JB look and feel, I would not like to change room (as CM 10 is under development yet). Could someone help me figure out how to flash this ROM properly?
Many thanks
EDIT: I just deleted the stock google search using Titanium Backup and installed again from the Market, it is working like charm!
Hey guys as im looking for a more smoother experience on my phone, im thinking of downloading a custom rom such as cyanogen rom which removes all unnecessary bloatware. However im wondering is it possible to keep the stock samsung apps :dialer, planner and memo e.g. is there somewhere I can download these apps and flash them?
Thanks
No. These apps don't work on non samsung roms. Samsung roms exist with bloatware removed.
Please don't ask questions in general. That's what q&a is for
