Hello ladies and gentleman I am going to be building a new custom rom entirely from scratch What I would like to know is instead of me just building a custom romon my own I would ilke some feedback as to what features you would like to see in the rom. Here is a little info on the rom so far. it will be based on ICS as I do not rally care for jelly bean so please let the comments come on.

I'd like to see a stock ROM mixed with flavors from AOSP.

You mean stuff that's every rom (cm kernel excluded)? And the over clocking is enabled through the kernel not the rom.

Why would U need to over clock to 1.6 ghz? What could you possibly gain besides horrible battery life?

Darnit. totally right.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2

Here's what I would like to see.
1.) Based on Samsung Stock ROM (4.0.3 or 4.0.4)
2.) Galaxy S3 Icons
3.) Camera modded for taking pictures with volume buttons.
4.) Stock statusbar icons.
5.) Jelly Bean animations (makes the UI seem smooth)
6.) Good idle battery life.
7.) Nova launcher or Touchwiz UX.
8.) Galaxy S3 UI theme (themed pop-ups, statusbar, and dialer)
9.) Volume control like Shostock2. (Other roms have volume that is too loud at minimum, but Shostock2 doesn't)
That's all i'd like to see. If you can do all that it would be awesome

I'm pretty easy.
+ don't care the OS, GB/ICS/JB as long as it's buttery smooth and no stuttering.
+ good batter life. Close to 48 hours with no activity or 5hrs with screen on or voice. That make me happy.
+ crystal clear voice quality and good reception.
+ live up to its data rate, 3G or 4G or LTE. I don't want to see 1Mbps in LTE area.
+ bluetooth, camera, audio
+ I don't care it's TW or stock ASOP or any 3rd party launcher.

Our phones don't have LTE as far as I know.

I mean really the dev can't control battery life too much right?
Sent from my SGH-I777

No he can't. All of our phones behave differently with battery, so he can't give everyone the best battery life. Some people normally get 2 days of battery with minimum usage, while people like me get 21 hours with almost no usage.

So is this heading anywhere? Any progress?

i guess not.he would have replied to any one of us..i guess he started this thread to make some time pass

My hope is CM9.1 + mods
Mods I hope to have are:
1) circle battery
2) AOKP notification toggles
3) option to switch off one cpu
I am using stable CM9 and CM9.1 for one month, and it is very stable. But I miss features from other roms. Thanks a bunch.

It will be your Rom, so make it the way you would like to see it. Plenty of people will comment more on what they would like to see in your Rom as soon as they can use it. Just have fun with making it.
I would suggest the following:
1 - Have it based on Samsung Stock Rom (preferably 4.0.4)
2 - Camera modifications for taking pictures with volume buttons and also having a panoramic camera ability
3 - Stock or slightly modified statusbar icons
4 - Jelly Bean animations (because they just look cool)
5 - Good battery life (to the best that you can get it)
6 - Excellent data rates on 3g and 4g (HSPA+)
7 - Self Destruct Button to blow your phone up from a remote location *joking*

After collecting a bunch of suggestions and feedback, is there any update info, OP or the thread will be gone with wind?

How can i disable the lockscreen without an app?

I want to disable the lockscreen.
There are several apps that do this but they all have a side-effect:
When they run pressing the volume-buttons will turn on the screen and i dont want that.
I know that CM-Roms have this feature built in but they have terrible battery-life.
Im using a Xperia Active with Spartan ROM (based on stock rom).
Any idea?
there are roms that give you an option to do this, either thru menu settings or via a pulldown toggle.
SGS2 (T989) on CM7_373R5
I know but the CM Roms all have **** battery-life.
Other then these i think the rest is stock-based and without that feature.

[Q] Stock ICS instead of TouchWiz

I seriously dislike the TouchWiz UI. It's very boring and dull, I love the way stock Android looks with its dark and light blue theme, very minimalistic and intuitive and I hate the way TouchWiz is just black grey and a mixture of other colors. I'm using NovaLuancher but it only changes the home screen, I'm looking for stock android settings menu and notification/status bar. Is there a solution to this yet? Putting stock ICS on the Galaxy S3? Or are there any launchers or skins that make the settings menu and notifications look like stock ICS?
No one? I'd also like to know.

Check themes and apps section.. If you can't find any themes, then no.. Just hang on... There will be 100 theme releases soon where all is "aosp" and every rom is AOSP themed. Cm9 and aokp will sure also find its way some day

Forgive my ignorance but I've been a iOS user since the first iPhone and I just switched to ICS because I was sick of the iPhone. What is AOSP? I know what CM9 is, what would you recommend me to install on my phone?
AOSP stands for "Android Open Soruce Poject" it is basally the barebone android OS made by Google for all to see. Many roms are based off of it, as the code is release soon after googles flagship nexus devices.
I like aosp too but dont yiu guys think it makes the phone look cheap? I find touchwiz icons classy..
I would suggest waiting a month or so after your carrier gets it to put a custom ROM on it. By then a lot of bugs well have been worked out and there will be some great tutorials available.

no, because you can customize it to your liking. there are thousands of options.
to the op download a launcher and it might imprve your experience.
I doubt CM9 or other stock ICS ROMs will have features like smart stay or s voice...if they do include them, that would be awesome!
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
CM9 for SGS3 would be custom to suit the S3.. So I'm sure it would include all the features unique only to the S3....
I think the TouchWiz 5 UI is quite nice, MUCH better than the 4.0 on my SGSII, however, I use Nova launcher because S launcher is driving me crazy
Nevertheless, AOSP is still much better, and as the SGSIII is a hugely successful and famous device, so it won't take long for the first AOSP roms to spread from the ground Just have a look at the SGSII
cheers

Stock GB
Stock GB w/ OC'd Kernel. I'm not giving up BLN anytime soon. It's a phone first, toy second.
I like tablet mode so I'm using either Jamie's PA hybrid or FJ's CM9 mashup. Both work really well.
Goldie/Beta 5. Love the tw from sgs3, and most of all, beats working on this rom, haven't been able to make it work on any version of CM9.

BLN?
There's a custom kernel feature for GB that allows the phone's touch keys to work like notification LEDs... The BLN (Backlight notification) app enables it.

I'm hopping back and forth between FJ's Mashup and JamieD's Paranoid.
Tempted to try UCLF5...but meh...not really missing the S-Pen stuff anymore. Having too much fun in Tablet mode.
Now, if the Hybrid Rom could be more refined like the CM9/AOSP Tablet/hybrid roms, i would go back to UCLE2/UCLF5.
Full S-Pen stuff w/ hybrid tablet mode would be perfect.

I gotta agree with you on that last part. I hate that I can't seem to stay away from the S-pen functional roms, even though I hardly use it. I am still trying to decide if I need full tablet mode, or if 240dpi with a nice launcher in landscape is enough.

Its INFURIATING that Samsung left out this android feature on the Note. There was no reason for it. I got so used to it on my Atrix.

Stock based vs CM7.2 based custom roms :)

Guys i've started this thread to discuss about stock and cm based custom roms
1)which is better in what way
2)battery life
3)gaming performance
4)tweaks available for each
i felt that there is no thread related to this that's why started one
for battery, stock is the best
Stock FTW
Better battery,stable,camera,dialer,music and mms are very good.
Personally I miss tw goodies like integrated task manager button,camera and music player in CM7 so Stock is better for me
Yeah stock is stable, but so is cm7.
However, you miss out on the newer features offered in the cm9/ cm10 /aokp/ paranoid android roms.
I'm using PAC by nims11.
The main reason I personally prefer cm7 over stock is multitasking. On stock if I am using one application and switch to another, then switch back, my place is lost and often the first app has been killed and has to restart. That might be why cm7 supposedly uses more battery (I don't notice a difference personally, but I use my phone a lot)
I'm also not a fan of touchwiz and prefer the customization of cm7.
I love trying new roms no matter what the android version; 2.3.6, 2.3.7, 4.0 or 4.1
Kudos to all the Dev's working hard to make my old crappy ace awesome!

CM7 is best..
A little bit battery drain than stock but has more costomization for daily use..also has no bugs.. all the things is working and stable..
Actually our opinions always have a touch of personal experience. Some people use the stock based just the way they are & some people tweak it more. I've seen that the sgs II v10.1 has a great multi tasking capability ( atleast for me...) . Kranti.ace has really brought out a revolution as his name says. His rom is pretty smooth & he's promising further improvisation. What else to expect? Just the devs to bring out the better of what's already best...
I used to have beautiful life before. Now I'm in engineering...!
Completely correct.

so far so good
been running this since last night. definitly smoothest AOSP rom i have ran so far! plus microphone works great and battery life is just as good if not better than touchwiz so far. on pace for 5 hrs screen on time which is about what i normally can get on touchwiz roms. literally the ONLY bug i can find is the camera and once thats fixed this will be golden. only AOSP rom i have stuck with and the dark theming/inverted gapps look soooo clean.
thanks alot for this!
Anybody know of a plain stock JB theme? I like the features of this ROM, but I'm not fond of the theme that much. A stock theme on this ROM and would be boss!

I tried a few yesterday, but for the life of me, I couldn't find anything that was that close to the "stock" JB look. Most of the themes are just really tacky. So I was wondering if anybody here knew one offhand.
