I have been skimming through the Android development and original android development forums in search of a TW-based ROM that is extremely lite, with everything but the bare necessities removed, but haven't been able to find one. I might have accidentally gone by it, but I cannot find any.
Do you know if such exists? I am not willing to go with AOSP just yet.
With extremely lite, I'm talking at the most 250mb ROM size, instead of TW's 1300mb.
Isn't HyperGalaxy TW based and very lite? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695562
I use it but I don't have TouchWiz on it, if I remember correctly though, that is because I removed it manually. I do believe it comes with TouchWiz as default. And all Samsung apps, no AOSP.
You can also remove even more stuff from it if you find it contains things you don't want. It weighs in at 226MB.
It's awesome. Chicks dig it.

Yes I tried it and it has TW on it. Went back to stock as my phone seemed hotter when running the GPS, which I use a lot.

No FM Radio on mine, but searched for the term in the thread and found this link to a flashable CWM zip that contains the radio app. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dcc9ibksklg85jx/Gallery_FMradio.zip
I don't know if it works or not, or if the FM Radio required libs have been removed from the ROM, and I don't want to try it since I hate radio with all my heart and will not succumb to even clicking an FM Radio icon once. I would have to sell my device after that since it would be forever tainted. :silly:
You should ask people in the HyperGalaxy thread!
There is a whole host of add-on apps that have been removed linked from the main post. In fact there might be another thread just for the hypergalaxy add-ons.

There are some applications from the stock ROM that I'd like to have on the custom ROM I'm running. Is it possible to extract them?
I'm specifically referring to the version of Think Free Office and Sims 3 that came with the T-Mobile ROM. I know that we are not allowed to discuss warez here, since I own a license and right to use these programs, having purchased the phone. I hope I'm not stepping on toes here, but I'd like to have those components in Nero, for example, which I am running, but both of these specifically useful apps are not included.

[MOD][For i717 LE2/LF5/LF6 ROMS] -phMOD- (Beta2 6/5/2012) Adds most SGS3 "Stuff"
phMOD beta2 for ANY rooted and deodexed LE2/LF5/LF6-based i717 ROM
This will NOT work on the stock Official LF6 build that comes directly from AT&T -- rooted or otherwise.
This will NOT work on CM9, AOKP, or any other AOSP-based roms.
Download CWM flashable zip (277MB) from Dev-Host
MD5: a9734233737e12175cf0f39ff285472c
http://d-h.st/Ct6
What is phMOD?
For those custom ROM users who may have been considering a switch to a different ROM just to gain the SGS3 Touchwiz "stuff," I whipped up this small mod to make it easier to get all of the same functionality.
**If anything is missing or broken, tell me and I'll be glad to make another update!**
**The only thing that requires FJ's modded kernels (those with init.d support) is the higher-res ICS boot animation.**
**Please report back with the results on various roms so that I can add them to the tested list.**
Note: This is a BETA mod, so please be sure you have a nandroid backup handy in case I accidentally screwed something up.
Changelog
BETA2 (5 June 2012):
-- Added S-Note (Official)
-- Fixed S-Voice (different modded version with supporting files - seems to work much better! Thank you Mahmood!!!)
-- Added SGS3 Audio files (notifications, ringtones, alarms, ui)
-- Added SGS3 Live Wallpapers (DeepSea, LuminousDots)
-- Removed FJ-specific system files which "should" allow this to work on any i717 UCLE2 rom that uses FJ's modded kernel with init.d
-- Added EVEN MORE SEX APPEAL!!
BETA1 (25 May 2012):
-- SGS3 Touchwiz Launcher
-- S-Voice (Modded version to fix network error)
-- A few SGS3 Touchwiz widgets
-- Flipboard
-- Higher Res ICS Boot animation
-- Some minor debloating (Yellowpages and YPmobile)
-- More sex appeal
Instructions:
1. Flash the zip in CWM
2. Wipe caches (Cache + Dalvik)
3. Reboot System
**Thank you to every single genuine i717 ROM developer!!!!**
PS: This happens to be the very first time I've ever crafted a CWM script. It was cool to learn how and finally contribute something (albeit something VERY minor) to the community! As a former coder (15-20 years ago! Yikes!), this may have just inspired me to do even more... maybe... we'll see......smali scares me! lol
why did you do this when there is a rom that does the same thing

Because you shouldn't need to wipe everything, flash a full "ROM," and then have to reinstall everything just to get a few new apps and files that actually require nothing more than a much smaller flashable zip (aka a "MOD").
This add-on gives you all of the same functionality while allowing you to stick with your own ROM.
Thanks for the addon, it's nice to have a standalone package!
I am here to learn.
Well this add on makes sense IMO instead of flashing the same rom to get a add on !!! Good idea OP no we don't have to restart everything for it

Mine seems to be working, for now, but it looks like a lot of people on different phones are still having that problem -- even with the modded apk I included in this add-on.

It does seem kind of vindictive to point out a specific rom, and show how you can take the unique parts from that and put it into another rom. I realize these aren't massive changes so it doesn't really warrant a separate rom, but like I said, feels vindictive. Thanks for the addon though, it's nice to have a standalone package!
Edit: With quotes like...
"For those who may have been considering a switch to the OnlyOne "ROM""
and
"or, perhaps more accurately, this "Add-on" -- will give you everything you get in the OnlyOne "ROM.""
it just seems like you're publicly dogging the other rom creator

Since being "vindictive" was never my goal, I'll change the language around in an attempt to make it sound less harsh. Sorry about that!

You could always just open the ROM's install zip, browse to the updater script and remove the delete entries for system and data. I know I have successfully done that in the past to alleviate a "heavy re-install session".
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY HAPPEN FOR DOING SUCH!

You're right of course, that would work. In fact, that's essentially how I made this simple mod (with a little research to ensure I had working apk's and other support files)
Not many users want to mess with cwm zip files and scripts, though, so I did the whopping 10 minutes of work and testing for you!

Can you try wiping cache and dalvik, fix permissions (in cwm), then test the app again?
If that doesn't work, use TiBu to wipe data for the S-Voice 4.0 app, then try opening the app again.
Worst case, I'll make a beta2 to move svoice-signed.apk to /data -- which seems to have helped some people get it to work more consistently.
Let me know!

By the way, if anyone wants to provide me with the framework-res and build.prop files from other UCLE2-based roms, I may be able to make versions of this mod that work for those as well. (doing so may require risky testing, so up-to-date nandroid backups are highly encouraged!)
If nobody provides those files, I may just go hunt them down myself -- but, I'd have to download all the other full roms and updates this weekend to do that, so it would be much faster just to upload those two files for me here.
EDIT: It may even work on other UCLE2 roms by removing those two files from the mod altogether. (I didn't do so originally because I really wasn't sure if they're necessary, and keeping them in doesn't seem to harm anything on FJ's ROM, so I thought it best to err on the side of caution and leave them in).
I'll get something out to test that theory later today!
Hi Guys
I've just installed a new super lite ROM which seems pretty much perfect EXCEPT i'm missing two features of Samsung's "bloat"ware that I really like:
Blocking Mode
Stay Awake
I've tried Googling and failed miserably to locate these so, can anyone tell me where i can get these please? (Yes I know there are alternatives but i'd like to stay with apps I am happy with and that work for me)

There is no single perfect rom for everyone.. Everyone is different and has different needs or "cravings"
Thats also why there's so many custom roms out there, to fit your needs (sometimes) If you cant find one, go with stock or learn to make your own.

Multiview functionality is not part of android operating system. That is a propietary technology from samsung, and the applications that can be use in that mode have to be made to do so.

With stock you can only do a small handful of apps (and not all that useful either). But if you use certain Roms (I've been using Jelly Beans for a few months) some come with all apps enabled. I think there is also another way to hack it but probably requires at least root.

Yes, there are mods to do so, or you could pretty much flash any TW ROM under the development section and have all apps available in multi window.

I don't think that Verizon lets you add any apps to the multiwindow view. If you want more apps in there, then you can flash a rom. If you like the look of your phone currently, then I suggest one of the CleanROMs, either the ACE, Verizon Special Edition. If you are stock and you don't want to flash a rom, then you can try this mod here.
Personally I would recommend that you flash a rom if you haven't already. There are so many great roms out there that unlock features that verizon didn't want us to have, or other things like the ability to make the phone look more like stock android.
Re: Cant add Multi View compatible apps to multi view bar
Hello, im a new android user (switched over from iOS last week) and I just had one question for you. Im fairly familar with Linux, so the first thing I did when I got my phone was obviously unlocking the bootloader and rooting it. Im running a stock ROM woth the Team Win Recovery and I was wondering how I would flash from my current ROM to the CleanROM VZW SE 1.5. As you can see below, I have the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II. I apologize for the "newbie-ness" of my question, thank you for your time!

I'd recommend picking a rom based on the first posts in the thread for each one (in the development section), and then read as much as possible in that thread. This is my first android phone too, but after reading the Jelly Beans thread (yes all of it, but I'm crazy like that) I feel I have a good grasp on everything. I'm no expert, but I'm not a newb either, and I've only tried Beans and Cleanrom thus far.
Now I just wanna get 10 (useful) posts so I can post on Beans' thread and thank him! :cyclops:

I was looking at the CleanROM VZW SE 1.5 but I am afraid of bricking my device. I was hoping someone had some useful tips to avoid this
What I'm trying to say is that there are TONS of such tips on this board, but they are already spelled out much better than I could explain, so you really have to put some time in and do the research. You should read the entire thread about that rom, and also read the thread on unlocking all the way through. Everything you need to know is there. It's very rare to completely brick one of these things.

Look around and you will find several equivalent apps to replace the "S" ones.
Also, there is a questions section on the forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1513. For future reference.
But I couldn't write on a photo. Thats an spen feature I miss. But I'm sure theres a replacement available.
Try the GNote app. I got it from another source but I think that this is it:
