Hi,
I've searched the threads but can't find some answers on my questions and I am new with Samsung + Cyanogen.
I've rooted my S3 and flashed Cyanogen9. I really love the new ROM! It is fast and i've got more ram memory left.
Only thing i am "missing" is the gestures from the Touchwiz interface.
My first question: is there a way to instal the gestures on Cyanogen9? (or eventually 10?)
My second question: is it possible to get the contacts app from the Tourchwiz interface? I found that one a bit better.
I want to upgrade to Jelly Bean when there is a stable version so if it is a lot of work let me know so I can wait.
Thanks for helping :good:
Hi I don't think it is possible the contact app and the gestures are both part of Touchwizz. It is because you don't have the Touchwizz interface and framework running that you have all that ram.
I hope I'm not saying silly things if so please correct me.

Hi,
First off, galaxy s2 is still an amazing phone compared to the beasts released this year, fulfills every need at great speed and life.
I would recommend to you the Hyperdroid rom, it is simply the best where speed, life, response and its simplicity matters. I am a very happy user, thanks to Hyperdroid team, it wouldn't have been possible for me not to worry about its battery life and yet get great performance. It's based off official Samsung rom, so everything is guaranteed working. Best combination would be Hyperdroid rom + Redpill kernel which is also made by the same dedicated team, props to them. You won't be disappointed
Regarding the notification light, yes it very much possible, if I'm not wrong it requires a custom kernel like redpill...or any other of your choice. From the play store, type in BLN notification.
Samsung Galaxy SII Xtreme ED
Xtreme Energy-Xtreme Power to Live
Impossible made Possible
I recommend the "MIUI v4" Rom..ist smooth and beautifull...and there are updates every week
Yes but I don't like the Samsung touchwiz style interface in fact I hate it, also I would like to have an app drawer which knocks miui off the list.
any more suggestions

Why not try some other launcher, such as Go Launcher, ADW, etc, in place to pick a full ROM?
You mean I can put adw. On top of miui, I'm gonna give that a try. Also is there any way to make a log of all the websites visited through any browser and have that remotely accessible?

I can recommend you AndyX Rom
I'm currently using v14 of this rom on SGS2 and for me it's just what I need
Many apps/settings included in this rom makes using the phone much faster and easier
It also includes Apex lancher mentioned by indresh88 which I guess is the best lancher
Hoping to find a rom that will get rid of all bloatware yet still have full function of device ie. Front and back cam. (I skype fam alot) i really like the cm mod and akop but not having cam hurts.
Im using a tmous samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and just reverted back to stock 
Any suggestions would be greatly accepted and tried thank you!

well, if you want FFC as well, you'll need a touchwiz based rom, So, if you want HC, I recommend Galaxy Task 14. If you want ICS, you need either official ICS or task650s ICS "The Beginning". Any CM or AOSP based ROM won't have a working front facing camera.
I using Toldo's JellyBeanRom ICS v5. I think it's the best rom I have ever used on my tab. Everything works quite well.
If you do install it and run into problems, read through the rom's forum as there area couple of fixes to implement in order to prevent freezing screen and extending the battery. After the simple fixes I am happy to stick with this rom permanently.

There's not so much JB 4.2 ROM for the SGTab. I actually run the CM10.1 Nightly Builds and it's a very good rom if you really want to move to 4.2.
There's also the ParanoidAndroid 2.99, I don't test it but if you're curious I advise you to test both by yourself but be careful due to multi-user on JB 4.2 the nandroid backups are now in a different folder. This means that if you make a backup from a previous version of JB 4.2 you can't restore it from JB 4.2. I think you just have move the backup in the general folder instead of the user folder but I haven't tested it.
Look on CM Google+
Hmmm, do you face any issue in CM10.1?

i tried jellybean by toldo,was pretty good.but battery drain for 1% per hour on standby was there which less than stock ICS roms
But toldos Rom is ICS.

The only issue I remember is the sound issue and the nav bar settings FC. When you mute the tab then press volume up it goes at max then if you press volume up again it becomes normal again. Strange issue but not so disturbing. I try not to mute the tablet during a song otherwise when I volume up it becomes MAX
When you open nav bar settings it force close.
I don't remember any other issue. I can browse the web, chat, play, take some pictures, Everything is smooth for now without overclocking.
Try it by yourself, really it's a good ROM
Best rom kernels thread are not permitted.
Try them for your self and decide which one suits your needs best.
Thank you and thread closed .
Hi XDA community !
I got finally my S3 and i'm so happy with it
Just a question, i've installed CM10.1 and made some tests (game like Rayman, whatsapp, antutu,...).
Menus are more flowing but in the apps, phone run slower.
When i put the stock rom, it's the opposite.
What do you think about that ?
If I'm not mistaken, CM10.1 is based on Android 4.2, which is a bit buggy from what I've experienced with my N7.
Maybe use a themed TouchWiz based ROM, get the best of both worlds.

Hey guys
I very, very like the idea of new Android 4.2 lockscreen with widgets, but I want it on my s3, too.
So ist anyone around who knows a mod that adds the lockscreen to this device (running wanamrom), or anyone who could make such a mod?
Pls.

Any custom ROM that is based on Android 4.2.1. Your current list is CM10.1, SlimBean, task650's AOKP, AOKP, Illusion, and LiquidSmooth. Jellybam will be updating sometime today for the I9300, hopefully soon for the other SIII variants (d2att, d2tmo, etc.). I have tried all of them so far except for Jellybam on my AT&T SIII, and CM10.1 nightlies were working the best for me, but the rest give you some more options since they are AOKP-based.
Good luck

Yep i had jellybam but it has a lock screen bug cannot wake up again after locked the problem is I don't want to loose s3 features like touchwiz, multi window amd others
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
You tried the Jellybam for I9300? He got that out fast
Just bear in mind that the only version so far of android to natively support widgets on the lock screen is jellybean 4.2.1.

Widgets aren't supported on TouchWiz since the S3 hadn't updated to 4.2.1 yet. If you want your ToucjWiz and stuff, check out an app called WidgetLocker.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Jellybam nightly for s3 already includes the new lockscreen with widgets and new quick settings and all the stuff but well it has that lockscreen lag that makes it impossible to use it probably
Edit: it's the thing that i want the new Android stuff always but don't like the original android looking as on nexus but different from many others I love the s3 touchwiz
Unfortunately the won't ever be stuff from the premium suite on aosp or aokp roms, so i can't wait for 4.2 for s3 ^^

What exactly do you mean by lockscreen lag? I know that on nearly every ROM I have tried out, there are issues with the screen wake function, where it sometimes takes two or the presses to wake it up. From what I can tell, this is a problem with AOSP in its entirety.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Lockscreen lag: when you lock your phone and try to wake up again (with home or lock button) screen turns on for a millisecond and shut down again so you cannot unlock your phone again and need to restart phone and this is everytime not just from time to time it makes the rom unusable I tried everything full wipe etc
(Hope you understand my English is not the best)

The 5.1.0 version? Did you tried it with either siyah kernel or cm 10.1 kernel?
Is it even built for your device?^^

Version 5.1.0 is notoriously unbootable. You get to a bootloop at the boot animation on all the d2 devices so far. iGio90 is supposed to be releasing a fixed 5.2.0 version on Monday.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Ok, so you can look forward to monday. Because this rom is nearly perfect. Just some issues with touchwiz indicator and the lack of multiwindow/ pagebuddy (samsung features that probably won't ever get into aosp/aokp unfortunatly =() - But for me, the best android 4.2.1 rom around.
Hello how do I put the list of activities on the lock screen?
thanks
