Hi folks,
I´m new at this forum and i have my first question:
I´ve put the PACman Rom from this Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957348 on my I9100G and i am really really impressed of it. But there is one thing that doesnt work fine.
In the ROM Control, you can customize the Lockscreen targets, but when i do that, they would not be saved. After changing them, i go one step back, an when ich go back to the settings, the targets are disappeared.
Can anybody explain how i do that?
The ROM forme, is the best ROM for the 9100G. I tested the most of the other ROMs like CM10, SlimBean, MIUI, SlimTW53 and so on, but PACman ist the best.
Great performance, great battery life and anything adjutable :good::good::good:
Please answer in light english because school is many many years ago :silly:
EDIT: i tried it again, and SOMETIMES i can save it with the Menu Button. But only SOMETIMES and i don´t know why.
EDIT from Edit: I think that i can only put apps on the lockscreen and no shortcuts.

New to this forum so apoligies if this post is in the incorrect place.
I rooted and installed CM9 last night and tried to follow the noob guide which was not that clear especially when you don't know what flash means. I know I am a real noob I ended up finding a great video by searching Samsung galaxy s2 root. Had all the links and latest version of cf root.
I have to say CM9 is what the S2 should of been like !
I have a few questions though. Sorry in advance if these are noobie questiins.
1. On stock ics for my device when i chose a picture from gallery for wallpaper it would let you choose if you wanted it in portrait or across 3 parts. Now I have a box which I have to adjust and I can never get the size correct !!!
2. How do I get a seperate picture on my lock screen.
3. How do I get camera to save to SD card , there is no option in camera settings ?? would this be because google devices have no sd slot ? is so how can i change this?
4. How do I get the cool unlock effect then after I do that get the pin option ?
5. Anyway of adjusting keyboard options like key size (way to small at the moment) and feedback as vibration is too strong at present.
6. How do I get folders in the app draw ? Can only do it on homescreen. Very annoying as could do this previously and I am ocd with these things.
7. Found that if I use the camera there is a very slight pink splodge in the center of the screen. Never had this before ?
8. No 3G but i do get the H symbol occasionallyy pop up??
9. Battery life poor and really really much worst whilst using gps.
10. gps takes at least 5 mins to get a signal on navigation / maps even when i have it fully on.
11. How can I get notification numbers on the text and email symbol on the homescreen ? beleive its on stock ics.
12. Anyone know if whilst in rom manager I can update to the latest nightly build and is this the best way to update my phone now i am on cm9 ?
13. Sometimes my homescreen swipes are inaccurate ?
14. keyboard presses sometimes dont vibrate but letter appears?
15. anyone know how to get music player to look like this. http://www.xda-developers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/cm9-music.jpg?139d23. the cm9 one looks grey and dull and has less options.
16. my videos on my sd card wont play ??
17. lost notes which came with the s2? where can i find it ??
18. how can i get gestures like cm7
19. how can i change themes as the option seems to be unavailable in the menu e.g its there but wont let me press it ?/
Thanks in advance. I know there are lots of questions here and all the little things here won't put me off using cm9 as its sooo much better than stock !!
+1 with the inaccurate home screen swypes and also when turning a page in moon reader pro....

blimey.. well..
answers to some.. .
2. not at the moment
3. Cant at the moment (use ICS+ Camera from play store if you want that)
4. i guess you mean Faceunlock.. read the CM9 discussion thread lots of questions answered in the first post)
6. is being worked on in nova Launcher but no others at present..
7.KNOWN ISSUE for most people since the phone came out...
10. there is a GPS fix you can get but you just need to experiment with radios etc,... again search the CM9 discussion thread
11.. being worked on on various launchers not a CM9 issue (believe Nova and Apex are working on this)
19. Themes are not essential as it is only a nightly build ..
remember most of these issues are known about and are varying in importance on when they are worked on.
thanks
Thanks so much for the answers.
Any idea why my battery is draining so much since install of this rom ?

Let me google that for you
Google ?
No point using Google. If I had found the answer there then I would not have created the thread. I have also emailed / posted cm direct but they state they won't reply or that in so many words. I am assuming that battery life has reduced due to rom but don't know ? That's why this thread was created ?

And yet, his answer provided you with the information you needed to find out yourself.
Common cause of battery drain is wakelocks, and his provided google search linked you to a ton of threads and links which detail what to do to find out what is causing wakelocks, and how to try to prevent them from happening. That will improve battery life.
"No point in using Google".... C'mon, dude.

For a long time I was using the Litening ROM v2.2 which was fine apart from the occasional reboots. Anyway, I recently upgraded to the latest stable version which is v3.6 and have immediately noticed that all the video playback is glitchy. There's also no way to customise the settings toggle button in the notification bar.
Can anyone recommend a Samsung based ROM on ICS that is stable, has no problems with video codecs/playback and allows customisation of the toggle buttons?
TIA
Tweaky Rom, i never tried it but it looks pretty promising. It's Samsung based.
Oh and wrong section, these types of threads aren't allowed. You're supposed to try out roms for yourself.This thread will be closed soon. Cheers.

Yeh, wrong place to post but your new so I am sure they will forgive ya. The thing is, it is not neccesarily the rom you choose, it is how you install it and how comfortable you feel using it. Try RR, that is Ressurection Remix, I have tried nearly 23 different roms and still keep coming back to this. Remember, read, study, install, configure to your liking. Eventually through trial and error you will learn what makes a rom 'good' and what makes a rom 'bad', the enjoyment is in the tasting of different flavours. Enjoy.
This isn't development related and nobody can answer this question for you.
The only way is to flash and try the ROMs for yourself.

Good people of XDA-Forum,
this is my first post after following this forum for quite a while. I am using an international SGS3 and have been trying a lot of different ROM's during the last few months. A few days ago I went back to something quite similar to the stock ROM: Omega ROM V44, based on JB 4.2.1
The problem that I am not able to solve without help is the following:
After installing Omega V44 my phone had this new toggle bar with toggles for WiFi, GPS, Sound, Screen rotation and Bluetooth. As I dod not find out how to customise this, I have installed the well known APP Power Toggles. The problem noc is that the new toggle-bar is there, but the old one wasn't replaced by it and is still in the first row?
I have been Googling for the answer 6-8 hours yesterday and today, but it looks like I'm the only guy on the planet who has this problem. It may or not have something to do with the Omega Settings. I saw screenshots of an Omega Settings menu in the Omega V44 Thread in the developer forum, but on my ROM I can't find the Omega settings.
I hope that someone can shed some light onto this sad story.
Best,
Jacob Kane
This is a pre release leaked software build and so is not fully complete. One of the things missing is the notifications control.
Also, a lot of mods don't work on this new leak properly as they're still being tweaked and there will be slow progress until Samsung release the source code for the kernel etc.
My advice would be to use v43 if you want to mod lots of things.

====================
Im a Omega ROM users also and infact imusing V44.1 and it is running smooth.
if you are following the thread on Omega rom youll find the answer. Unfortunately V44 is still beta and MOD are not fully supported yet even custom kernel is not yet supported.
i have customazation done check this out;

here you can also check this page and so happy with OMEGA coz it is widely supported by our great devs and very thankful with that
hope you find it helpful. goodluck
I would say that this is especially dificult without source code as:
1) The way toggles have been implemented by Google in 4.2 OSP is quite different from the way Samsung was doing it
2) Samsung's implementation of the new 4.2 behaviour is, again, different from both samsung's old implementation and Google's new one
So there's no way to adapt existing methods, one would have to decompile packages from the last leak and try to see how it works
Anyway, any updates on this will probably end up on wanam's 15-toggles thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876384
Hello everyone.
I have a few questions after i recently installed this wonderful ROM on my S3:
1) When i try to change the color of the Notification panel clock, Network bars and Wi-Fi signal nothing happens (Using the Wanam Xposed Application). The only thing i can change is the batter icon colors. Is this a bug that can be changed later or am i doing something wrong? (Didn’t see an option to change the alarm clock color icon as well )
2) I have installed the ROM using the Imperium logo when you boot your phone but although its very nice its a bit noise when starting up. I have looked in the Imperium ROM features but i couldn’t find the stock Samsung startup logo in the download options. Can i get the stock startup logo and sounds? If not which one do you recommend downloading that is less noisy?
3) In all my stupidity i have installed the ROM with the stock music player (should have picked Apollo ) and not i regret it. Is there any way to get installed? Also, when i installed the ROM i thought i saw a sound mod that made the sound clearer or something cant remember what it was. Does this mod runs by default with any player or do i need a special kind of player to benefit from it. If so how do i get it?
I really appreciate all your help and im sorry about the noob questions
Thank you and regards.

Oh and i forgot to mention one more thing: when you press the Home button while youre in an application it doesnt go directlly to your Home screen tab but the tab where you were before starting the application. Is there an option for this as well?
Im sry to post here and i guess ppl who can help about this are mostly on the development thread but i have tryed to post there but im not allowed since im a new user
So can anyone please help with the above points or do i really need to make 10 posts so in can write in the developers thread where i should have been asking in the first place. Searching for every point of my issue on this forum is to much trouble for not to mention i dont think i would be able to find anything that specific.
Please try imperium v21. I tried them all ... And I mean all of the Roms .. Stock and nodded and this one is the best. Smooth as hell and no battery drain... With almost 4hrs of screen on... Battery is lasting almost 1 day.
Is the best ROM I ever used on s3 i9300. International model.
After 1 night of sleep the battery drain is 0.8%/h... Can't get anything better than this one.

I have the Imperium 2.1 rom too, and my battery is awful. over one night the battery drains 20% with nothing on (wifi etc.)
Hello, everyone!
I´m new here, but using the forum quite a while. Since a few days i´m the prowd owner of a Razr Maxx.
First of all, the device is amazing, i need a phone for the work and not to play and >5" Display. A phone with a good battery-life and thats exactly what you get here.
So i´m using the spyder version but i´m in the EU so i need the GSM-Patch. First of all i´m using CM 11/M12. It´s very good and stable. I´m also using the One+ Launcher, which i like because i´m using as 2nd phone an iPhone.
But a few things i´m missing and maybe you can help me out with this things.
1.) Alternative to CM11:
CM 11 is good, but i also tried LiquidSmooth Rom 3.2. But after installing the GSM-Patch, the Rom was not stable. With CM11 no Problem with the GSM Patch. I also tried the 3.1 Version of LS but also no luck. I also tried DirtyUnicorn, which looked good and with a lot of features and included GSM support, but was also not stable. Same with Paranoid. Do you have a alternative Rom with GSM Support or Patch support for the XT912 Verizon Maxx that you can reccomend me?
2.) Statusbar:
In the statusbar is to much going on for me. After some time i get so much symbols for every update etc. also the one+ laucher is every time with his icon in the statusbar. Is there a statusbar where i can hide all this things and only can see important icons like calls/messages?
But i also missing something in the statusbar, the provider name. On an old phone i have the provider name in the middle of the statusbar, but now i find no option to enable it. Is this still possible? I used the phono-app which shows the logo, but thats not exactly what i want. But better than nothing.
3.) Lockscreen
I want a simple Lockscreen and i like the iPhone Lockscreen a lot, besides the missing widgets. Can you recommend a lockscreen like the iphone lockscreen with widget support?
4.)Dialer
Three things i dont like in the actual dialer. First when i open the dialer app, the first screen is favorite contacts, but i want as first screen the numpad.
Second, i also like the gui from the iphone, you have contacts only one click away from the numpad, now you have to know the name and type it on the numpad or open the contacts. Is there a better solution?
And at last, the dialed numbers are not in the "memory", when i put in the first digits from a called number in the history nothing happens. On my old phone (HTC) , it gives you matching called numbers when you click the first digits on the numpad. Is that possible?
So thats a big list, first i hope you understand it and second i hope you can help me with it
Thanks a lot!

1) I am xt910 user so I cant help you in this case. Maybe @sherri or @Ohmster could give you a clue?
2) in LS 3.2 10/13 go to Settings->LiquidSmooth->Status Bar->Advanced. Here you can enable 1) "notification count" to prevent long lined-up of similar notification, 2) MIUI provider label (to show provider name on the most left of status bar)
3) the built-in lock screen is enough for me anyways. If you want iphone-looks-like so bad maybe you should try using Launcher that provide iphone theme for lockscreen (just find it at playstore i.e Go Launcher)
4) We are on the same boat here. Keep me posted if you luckily found it first
