Curious if anyone has ported GS2 or GS3 based roms to the Fascinate? I've become bored with CM10/JB and am looking for something new and flashy.
Ok I admit it, I saw a GS3 and all the cool eye candy and was jealous.
Well considering the GS2 and GS3 are still based on ICS, the JB roms we have are actually newer and better. I think you probably just saw a few gimmicky things that touchwiz can do, but since touchwiz is owned by Samsung you won't really be seeing it ported over to custom roms. There are a few good alternative roms floating around that are different than the standard CM10, namely Paranoidandroid, Blackbean, MUIU etc. Just check the developers section. I'm on the new AOKP myself and loving it
I can go ahead and tell you black bean is stable as **** and paranoid droid is so different and creative and miui is based on touchwiz and goats all the eye candy.you'll ever need hope that helped

Maybe some devs are just blown away by the options - or maybe they don't think this device is that popular? Blow them away by voting and showing how in demand their services are - and for what!
There is a lot of variety out there right now- and with the official ICS leak these things SHOULD be much more possible, so let me ask you what flavor of ICS do you want the most?
All examples are from vibrant because I have tested all of them on my old phone.. many of the more popular devices have them all.
Ports/official:
Slim ICS - Clean, Simple, and fast - the google way - as barebone aosp as it gets.(Can you say a 75mb download?)
Something like MIUI - A feature heavy nearly total redesign of Android - everything about this type of rom is different - but most of you probably know that. Easily themable in every aspect. Some of the features are here(don't forget it takes advantage of all the new features of ICS)
AOSP(Android open source project) - Either official CM9 or pure AOSP - the stock experience without our blessed "SenseUI" we all have come to love/hate - CM9 of course has some extra features.. and is also easily themable.
AOKP(Android open kang project) - Much like a feature rich version of CM9, while still aiming at a stock experience - if you want to know the differences click here(or check some of the features here)
SenseUI+ - Do you just want modified Senseui with some tweaks? Maybe some root, crt displays, power menu options.. just a stock+ experience? If so go to the development section, it has only been a week yet some good roms seem to be popping up all over(*cough* signature *cough*).
I like stock - HTC and Tmobile decide what I should use, and that's the way I like it! The most I could ask for, if I was feeling risky, is to get a little bit of root. Maybe.
Gingerbread - Damn this new radio! My battery sucks! Life sucks! How dare they leak a rom that isn't even finished! Those @ss&*#(s!
I'm gonna buy a new phone - You guys are noobs, I'm gonna buy a new phone!
If I missed an option, I'm sorry.. send me a PM and I'll see if I can add it to the list- but these are some of the choices out there, maybe help out devs and the potential ones alike by shouting at them all in one place!(rather than in their threads- I'm pretty sure they hate that.)

I wondered where you chose that name.. now it all makes sense!
I tried AOKP on my vibrant.. unfortunately that phone just can't compare to this one.
Sense 4.0 or MIUI ICS!

And yet there is no vote for MIUI? What gives?
I haven't seen that sense4 has enough improvements over 3.6, and then there is the fact that many of those features were integrated into ICS anyways.. is it worth the slowdown?
Now Miui on the other hand has some really original features..
I voted on MIUI after posting. Had it on my HD2 and couldn't wish for anything better!

I've been bouncing between the 2 senseless roms, and I like both of them so far so I vote for anything without sense.
I have cm9 nexus on my HD2 and still cheat on my amaze with it sometimes.

AOSP/AOKP are the same .
AOKP just builds on AOSP. Once you have one you work on the other no ?

Basically i already have both working but i'll start working on miui
My vote went to AOSP and AOKP. I don't care which...I just want one of them!
CM9. Would love to play around with Sense 4.0, though.
I want my Amaze to look and run similar to the Galaxy Nexus.
AOSP!!.. Pleaaaase!..
Sense 4 could be on fire and I'd pee in the other direction to avoid even 1 drop quenching a single flame

Well since 65%(so far) of everyone who voted went with aosp you know your work there will be appreciated!
I'm really surprised more people haven't put in their opinion!
Well I would like an aosp before anything, then bring speed Rom over to it

The Ruby needs to be blessed with any variant of ICS AOSP. We've seen enough Sense lately.

Greetings,
I don't have the Galaxy Note (yet), but before I pick one up, I've got a few questions about the available ROMS.
1. Which ROM floating around out there is closest to Stock ICS? (I'd be coming from a Galaxy Nexus.)
2. Are there any ROMS that get rid of all the Samsung Custom Apps? Not just TouchWiz, I'll get rid of that with ADWLauncher, but all the customizations that Samsung has done to Messenger, Calendar, etc.
I'm eager to get the Note, but I want to make sure it's easily "De-Samsung-ified" first.
Thanks!

Thanks, That does look good, but I'm a bit apprehensive when I see Beta in the title. Is this what you're using? Can you post screenshots of the Messenging and Calendar apps? The Samsung customizations of those really bother me. I know it's nitpicking, I'm a bit anal with my devices...
It comes shipped with the Samsung apps, there is an aosp app ad on within the roms ota feature.
There isn't a true aosp ROM for the note... Yet.
Thanks @studacris @briand.mooreg for the suggestion. Are there any others, I'm looking for a stable, non-beta ROM to use at first, but once I get confortable with the device, I'll play around with it more.
It's only a beta by name alone. because we, the collective, have much more in store for it.
It's stable as a table.
Once we get official ICS, devs are gonna go ALL out on the ROMs. :thumbup:
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
I think until we get source for ICS, any ROM you see available will claim to be an Alpha or a Beta (at developer's decision).
The reality of the situation is that all of the i717 ICS ROMS are based on a leaked ICS build, not something official.

When the source comes out, will it be posted online like Google posts the images for the Nexus devices? I ask because I'm just looking for as Pure an ICS experience as I can get.
I don't even have the Note yet, but I flashed my Galaxy Nexus to AOSP ICS tonight and I'm a bit eager to dive into Android experimenting and maybe eventually cooking up a ROM myself.
Thanks.
try out dagr8s rom its pretty awesome def with the tablet mod
Dude thuer all beta or alpha we have no source codes to make a rc ics rom yet but its coming don't worry and most ics roms out right now are very stable and very nice don't be afraid lol go buy a note and Ice it out

Hi All
I have a UK Galaxy S3 and would like to root and install a clean Vanilla ICS ROM.
Please can someone advise on best method of roooting and which ROM to use?
I'm being cautious as I don't want to brick my phone.
Many thanks in advance.
Do you mean Non-Touchwiz? Because I'm yet to find one that is like that.
I'm also on the look out for a Touchwiz ROM that's been themed to be blue and black like the ICS colours
Yes non touch wiz please as I hate it. Why do these stupid manufacturers spend so much money and resource to create something that is pointless. ICS already has everything anybody could want from a launcher.
I installed cm9 on my S2 and it was epic, I guess cm9 isn't out for the S3 yet?
Thanks
Perhaps you could have a look on the Android and Original Android Development Threads?
I use Omega ROM 9.1
Great and close to stock...

MY problem with using non-Sammy ROM's is a lot of features get lost. I'm after a ROM/theme that's truely ICS themed but totally black and blue like most of the apps. Sammy are just teasing me, because even in stuff like the RAM and Task manager it's blue and black ICS themed but they have this ugly light blue and green battery stuff going on
What sort of features Kryten?

Well for instance in the CM9 ROM it looks like a lot of the camera features are gone. You just have dumb picks "SD, HD 720, HD1080" etc. I dunno. It was the same on my HTC Desire. I had Oxygen on there for the longest time and it was ok, but it didn't have the same functionality as the Sense ROM's (though it was much quicker and more stable which is why I kept it regardless. My GF uses it now and loves it).
I just want one that is touchwiz, but looks exactly like ICS:
This for instance:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730397
It's just not compatible with my ROM (and I never had any luck getting it on odex or deodex'd ROM's. There's an update due tomorrow!
Slim ics is built from aosp source with a few choice picks from cm9 and aokp, fast smooth, and good battery, but if you want vanilla ics then you need to buy a nexus

I bought my father the note (he had the s2 before) a fee weeks ago. I had installed aokp on his s2 before but when now, I installed black star which has all the stock touch wiz features that me and my dad remember from when we first got our phones. I want him to run the aokp jb ROM but he loves that ROM too much (but its too laggy)
I was able to install one of those touchwiz themes... but that's not what I'm looking for I'm looking for the specific apps especially the phone. Sammy really did a great job with the phone. I'd love the built in task manager but that's probably too much to ask for.. any idea his I can get the touchwiz apps on a aokp rom? Phone, messaging.. music maybe..
Thanks a million
They don't work on aokp roms. Must be a touchwiz based rom. There are replacements for the apps such as gnote for smemo or memo beta from the play store.
As for black star being laggy I think you should check how you flashed and be sure you followed the proper flashing procedures in the OP of that thread. It is a very good rom. It runs fast for me and many others.

Some how a dev in the N7000 thread has managed to put snote premium suite on his miui rom so maybe in the future we will have it for other TW phones like the i717.

I figured it was only a matter of time before someone figured out how to put the s-pen apps on non TW roms. I woukd think that would make them more appealing to many other people that stick with stock because of the apps.

Hi everyone,
I switched to the DNA a little while ago and I'm very impressed with how aosp development kicked off since chad made fantastic progress in CM10.1.
Coming from gnex and gs3, we had the "eclipse" Rom that I loved so much.
In the gs3 Rom, the dev used touchwiz base and ported the Aosp look and goodness.
So the outcome was an error free Rom that resembled aosp but was very very stable.
My question/request perhaps, is it possible to do the same with the DNA?
Kindly,
Ron

It's not quite as simple with HTC devices... Touchwiz is a lot closer to aosp than sense is. Look through android development for "de-sensed" ROMs. I believe there was an aosp theme for hatka as an add-on for the de-sensed version.

There are plenty of desensed roms. And that sounds kinda like what your looking for.
