Hi guys,
I'm new in the Samsung scene, I've Always used HTC phones before. My question is not how to flash (i'll first search for it myself), but if anyone could recommend me a rom with the look and feel of the SGS3 software.
I've searched but couldn't find anything i think works 99%.
thx

Try Resurrection remix 2.6.1. Based on ICS and stable as a rock. I'm pretty new myself and been using it for a while.Easy to install and no issues whatsoever. :good:
First of all, are you sure you have an i9100 and not an i9100G, a skyrocket (AT&T or Rogers), a Galaxy S2 LTE HD, etc?
If you do have an i9100, this is the forum for you. If not, try and find your right forum...
I'd look in the SGS2 android dev forums and not the Original Android Dev forums. Alot of cooks have ROMs with SGS3-like themes... And there's possibly a touchwiz5 mod in the themes section. I know the ripple lockscreen was ported too...
To be honest, alot of ROMs exist but it's a question of taste... I know Resurrection remix is a popular one. Alot of people switched to Cyanogenmod when ICS hit though, as ICS wasn't up to par for Samsung's implementation...
Your best bet is to flash a custom kernel with CWM recovery in Odin (Alot of guides to do this) like CF-Root and then grab ROMs and flash them through CWM. If you want a kernel that's able to dual boot, you can use DreamKernel, Siyah, etc. That way you can get one ROM going and test a second ROM as a secondary. Dual booting can be achieved because we have a 500MB partition on our phones that isn't used for anything... Fun, is it not?
And The other rom is pfittech ics rom and is also stable and he is working on stable jb rom as among other devs

wow guys really thanks!!! I'm really happy to get so much information! I can do everything myself now thank you a lot :')
I think i'll wait untill a port of the new JB update for the S3 gets ported
I've always used Slim ICS, very light weight and customizable.

I'd go with rootbox. Just because the dev updates more frequently does not mean it's a better rom. The ones who don't update frequently just mean they don't have bugs to fix...

Do all Custom ROMS for all the positive features they may bring always result in less stabililty than a Stock ROM?
I imagine CM7 to be the best....seeing as he works for Samsung also. I certainly found it the best when I had the I9000/Galaxy. However looking at the CyanogenMod forum there are plenty of people raising issues with the builds (including 'stable' builds).
I really enjoy trying different ROMS usually but I am deliberately sticking with a rooted stock at the moment - and it has never froze, crashed or rebooted itself yet! I do miss fiddling with my phone though!
Thoughts/opinions appreciated.
Thanks
criskelo 31 + latest siayh - no problemo )))
Yes.

If you want a stable rom, then use the one in my sig. Oxygen is amongst the most stable roms that are out here. It's almost bugfree, because the creater of the rom, Adam G is a perfectionist.
You have no touchwhizz, just stock android that works. If you are looking for a shiny rom, then this one is not for you. If you want a stable rom and an almost bug free rom, then this one is for you.
ps you won't find this rom on xda, because he does not want that anymore.
Samsung Galaxy SII
try this combination...
*CheckROM Revolution HD v3.1.1 (fast and lite)
*Speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-18-test8-CWM.zip (best battery life)

I don't know if you can say that. It has some coding from CM, drivers etc. But it is supposed to be a stock android rom, the way google intended it, with (almost) no CM stuff.
So I have ICS installed (released a couple days ago) but the bloatware and touchwiz make it hard to use without frustrations. I've been using checkrom before this. Is there or will there be a clean ICS release soon? How long does it take for pro devs to build one? Thanks

I can't seem to find anything based on the latest official rom released on March the 13th... Aren't the others based on unstable/beta ICS roms?
Might take a bit longer than three whole days for Devs to build a rom might even wait for a better release .

Hi guys,
sorry if some might already answered this question, but i was unlucky with my search and im n00b to the Android system ( been use IOS for years)
my question is, what is the different for me with a SGS3? is it just a updated Android release?
currently im running with the XXALF2 version now and with that i can use all the SGS3 function, but what about IMM76I, does it have same function (smart call, smart stay and smart alert?) and what is the different ?
thanks in advance.
IMM76I is AOKP rom more custom rom and XXALF2 is orginal Samsung rom full whit blotware.But you haw XXALF2 custom made roms like Omega , Wanam and other.

Hmm people are loving empty spaces rather than bloatwares sorry softwares . And how misleading it would be introduce those words to new users ?
《tapatalked from galaxy s3》
thanks for the quick reply.
so with the AOKP i dont have the same function as the samsung custom rom, if i decide to flash IMM76I ?
when you say bloatware you mean software reporting status to samsung ?

Aosp roms will miss ssome features of Samsung rom . Like you won't have smart stay, pop up play, etc etc. Aosp is meant for pure Google experience like galaxy nexus. Yeah people call additional software's from Samsung as bloatwares

it depends on the kernel, some kernels only support samsung roms and some kernels support both samsung and aosp.
as of now it is safe to use aosp roms with thier own kernels, in a few days of time custom kernels like siyah will support both aosp and samsung roms.

Siya already does.
OP,
I would suggest staying with the samsung based roms for now. You're new to samsung android. Get used to the features and how you can use your phone.
I always used AOSP Roms (Android open source project) to replace my HTC roms but I knew what functionality I was missing.
I too am new to Samsung and finding lots of cool features that are samsung only.
There is no way I will be going to AOSP yet. And this is from someone who developed AOSP for HTC devices, so obviously I am a big fan of AOSP.
Im just saying, theres a lot of benefit from samsung roms so work out what they are before trying aosp then you will see what (if anything) is missing for you.

yeah it does, but not recommended for new users with aosp as of now. would suggest the OP with stock roms for some months atleast..
alright, i agree - the features in the stock rom are awesome and i wont miss that by any chance, the problem with me is that im love to custom everything instead of standard and sometimes it have its backfire effect
the Omega seems to still have all the feature and i would maybe stick to that one for now.
about the AOSP, do you believe there will come a release that support all the currently feature SGS3 have in the future ?
cheers and thanks

HeHappy had created a ROM based upon CM9 taking the development further from Lupo. The rom is very stable, has functional camera, I have been using it for months now and am really satisfied with it. It used to be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614420
however the forum is now closed. Try searching around for the rom though, with a bit of effort you should be able to find it. It was one of the most beautifully running ICS rom around. it was Hehappy's masterpiece and I only have high praise for his work.
Question: was HeHappy's mod ever ported to the rest of the Optimus line? I have an LS670, and would LOVE to try it out.

Hello everyone,
I have recently rooted my SGS2
using CF root.
Replace the Stock kernal with siyah 4.1.5
Then currently i am on stock ROM
slimICS.
HOw to keep the thread alive....
share your experience of Custom ROM which you are using.
Pros and Cons of the ROM...
Report any Bug..
We can then submit the issue to corresponding Thread or developer..
It is really your choice when it comes to deciding on a ROM.
A few things to consider, the JB 4.1.1 ROMs are available but not stable yet. So if you want to try the latest and greatest and don't mind the odd crash and random reboot it allows you the opportunity to report back your findings and assist in that way with development.
If stability is your concern, then you certainly want to go with an ICS ROM. CM9 is pretty stable as a recommendation.
As you mentioned earlier you could also dual boot to experience both. Just a few pros and cons for you to help in decision.
Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Theres no limit to the number of ROMs you flash in a day
Only make sure your battery is above 60% atleast before you flash a ROM, or anything for that matter.

Hey Manubr,
few dayz back i was also having the same question
should i try JB too ??..
ok so here is the answer.
JB ROMs are not stable since it has some memory leak issue.
It wil not be resolved till Samsung officially launch JB for SGS2.(will have to wait for stable version)
But CM10 team is trying to resolve infact minimize the issue and get the best JB ROM...
you can check there 30 sep nightly build...
Which i have installed it...
I m having SlimICS ROM1
and CM10 ROM 2..
